Council votes to increase water bills Customers of the Clinton Water Department should expect to pay $6 more soon. The City Council voted unanimously Thursday to approve two ordinances that would each increase water bills by $3. The first ordinance established a $3 per meter surcharge to retire the bond debt. It will raise
only Clinton customers’ bills. “This is not a charge to commercial wholesale customers," department manager Richard Hink said. “It’s up to them to collect from their customers. ”How they do that and how much they charge is up to the wholesale customers," he said. Those water associations are Van Buren Coun-
ty, Bee Branch and Dennard. The second ordinance increases the minimum bill by $3 per month for Clinton customers. Hink emphasized that this was not a rate increase, just a cost of living increase to the minimum monthly bill. Councilman Jason Lynch expressed concern that this was
just a “bare bones” increase and in a few months the department would have to ask for more. Councilman Timothy Barnes noted that the increase does not take care of the “big picture,” but covers regular maintenance. “We have to start somewhere,” he said. Hink’s third request of the night
was a resolution creating a five-member water commission that would guide the department and report to the City Council. Mayor Richard McCormac said he thinks “we need one very bad.” But Councilman Johnny Moore appeared to think five members might be a bit unwieldy and that a three-member
board would be better. The vote was 4-2 to approve creating the board with Moore and Sam Ward opposed. Earlier in the evening, the council heard from the state Highway Department, which reiterated that it would incur the cost of movSee Water on page 6

Voters keep most incumbents (For complete results, see Page 6) Van Buren County went to the polls in heavy numbers this election season with more than 7,500 casting ballots. The local races were close with only 50 or 60 votes separating some candidates. Those retaining their county-wide offices were County Judge Roger Hooper, Sheriff Scott Bradley and Tax Assessor Trina Jones, all Democrats, and County Clerk Pam Bradford, a Republican. Political newcomer, Debbie Gray, a Republican, toppled long-time Circuit Clerk Ester
Bass, a Democrat, by a razor-thin margin. On the Clinton City Council, incumbents Gayla Bradley and Timothy Barnes were re-elected to their positions. In the race to replace outgoing Councilman Johnny Moore, there will be a runoff between Justin Bintliff and Shon Hastings. There also will be a run-off between Jeff Pistole and Richard Hink in the contest for Nina Bonds Baker’s seat. She did not seek re-election. In Shirley, two incumbents lost their elections as Deborah Kerrigan bested Randy Murray
and Ginny Kimmons Stone defeated Kevin Jones. Incumbent Lisa Hackett held off challenger Ashley Tackett. In Damascus, incumbent Jerry Hensley handily kept his seat. In Quorum Court races, incumbent Kevin Housley was the winner, and Richard Sundelin won the District 9 race over Judy Wells, Other winners in Van Buren County were U.S. Sen. John Boozman, U.S. Rep. French Hill and Donald Trump in the presidential race. Voters also approved all four ballot issues.
Notes Benefit set
A benefit has been set for Nov. 26 for Randy Ego, who was severely injured in an accident in early October. Ego, one of the foremost mechanics in Clinton, is owner of Independent Foreign Car Garage.

Friends and neighbors have organized a benefit to help Ego and his wife, Cathy, on the long road to recovery. Doors open at the old Walker Fieldhouse at Clinton High School at 1 p.m., and the silent auction begins at

Thanksgiving
The Voice office will be closed Wednesday and Thursday, Nov. 2324, in observance of Thanksgiving. We will reopen on Friday, Nov. 25.
The Clinton City Council rejected an ordinance Thursday to ban sales and giving away animals on city streets. The ordinance was aimed at stopping sales in stores’ parking lots. Councilman Timothy Barnes abstained and the other five councilors voted against the ordinance at Thursday’s meeting. The measure was written with no exclusions, which would have prevented animal protection leagues from holding adoption events. Also at the meeting, Van Buren County Animal Control director Reta Tharp came under questioning as the shelter’s fate hangs in the balance. She told the council that Justice of the Peace Randy Story plans to introduce an ordinance at this week’s Quorum Court meeting to stop funding for the shelter. Tharp said she has cut her budget to the bone, from $140,000 in 2016 to $111,000 for 2017. There is nothing left to cut, she said. Animal Control was established in 2003 as a joint venture between the county and Clinton. There is disagreement on whether that was supposed to be a 50-50 split or if Clinton agreed to pay only up to $20,o00 per year. At a Quorum Court Budget Committee meeting last month, it was suggested that the county could bill the city for half of the shelter’s expenses each month. Councilwoman Gayla Bradley told Tharp the city doesn’t even know what expenses are involved in running a shelter. She also wanted to know how much Shirley pays toward the shelter.

The benefits of exercise almost cannot be overstated. The bottom line is that exercise increases longevity and quality of life. Yet exercise seems to be the last thing on most of our priority lists. The good news is that exercise doesn’t have to be complicated. The American Heart Association (AHA) offers the simple guideline of 30 minutes of brisk exercise, 5 days/week. An easy option is to walk fast enough to complete 2 miles in 30 minutes, 5 days/week (Think: 2-30-5). Furthermore, there is increasing evidence that strength training that hits the major muscle groups as few as 2 days/week also plays an important role in health benefits, including weight loss. Ask your healthcare provider or physical therapist or trainer on proper muscle-strengthening methods (which can be done at home with little to no equipment), and make exercise a regular part of your day. - Dr. David Geidl

It's over! The presidential election is finally over and now we can move forward as a united country. It's time to relax and enjoy the wonderful season of fall. The temperatures are finally beginning to cool off and the leaves are now changing colors. However, the trees still have an abundance of green foliage which seems very peculiar for mid-November. So if
you find time to relax now that the election is over take a drive north on Highway 65. The scenery is beautiful in Dennard so I know you won't be disappointed. It's finally hunting season and the hunters are headed for the woods. I want to say congratulations to Kelley Collins, age 15, who shot an elk cow last week while hunting over Bear Creek. Dennard is blessed with having much wildlife. Danna Collins saw a black bear cub run across Highway 65 near Standridge Ranch. Kevin Burgess reported seeing an adult black bear on Highway 110. So, watch out for the wildlife. If you have any See Neighbors on page 5

James Braden Brian Booher
Brian Keith Booher went on to be with the Lord on November 10, 2016. Brian was one of those people that never met a stranger and was quick with a smile. He loved to laugh and had a super sense of humor that made others laugh. He was one of the most kindhearted people you could ever hope to meet, and would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it. He would be the first to rescue an abandoned animal and take care of it and give it a home. He loved to fish, read books, study his Bible, and always enjoyed working outdoors doing yard work and things. He has left a beautiful impression on all those who knew him well, and even many that barely knew him at all. Brian, you will be missed dearly by all of us! Brian is survived by his father, Alvin Booher Jr. of Dennard, his mother, Melanie Bradford of Shirley; grandparents Alvin and Regina Booher and Joe and Kay Robinson of Clinton; half-brother Heath Huggins of Fairfield Bay; step-sisters Shelby and Sydney Bradford of Russellville; as well as many aunts, uncles and cousins.

Scotland Community Corporation had a great turnout for our First Satur-
day Breakfast on the 5th of November and all of the candidates that came to breakfast said a few words. We thank them for all of the support they gave us this year and we hope to see them throughout the next year. We have the cafeteria reserved a couple of days in November and three times in December. If you plan on reserving it for an event, you need to call. Do not forget that the Scotland Corporation will have a Christmas dinner on the first Saturday night in December. It is still in the planning stages. James and I went down on the square like we used to when we first came to Arkansas and heard the election returns as they came in. The weather was nice, the square was roped off and people had their chairs grouped around and there was lots of food, snacks, etc. We waited for Sid to read the ballot boxes as they came in and we visited with a lot of folks that we had not seen for a while. We were surprised at how close all of the races were from the very beginning and how they stayed very close all of the way through. We got to know most of the candidates this past year and watched them work so hard on their races. We were glad for the ones that won and we were sad for those that did not win. I think we are finally going to have some cooler weather so be safe this next week. Call James Burns at 592-3935 if you have news for the paper. Be safe while deer hunting and we hope all of you get one.

The ACRDC Annual meeting is being held Saturday in Alread. When I went to vote last week at Crabtree's polling location I was greeted by a group of poll workers that were in very good spirits. I can say I've never run into a more jovial group. The one-liners were flying so fast at one point my laughs were a joke behind. It made for a most entertaining voting experience. By noon, when I was there, they said that 96 of the 184 registered voters had cast a ballot. The expectation was that it was going to be a heavy turnout by poll closing time. Late last week Louis Jackson was fretting he wasn't going to get his cottonpicker turned sugar cane picker and processor into the fields before first freeze. "It's a nightmare," he exclaimed referring to the hydraulic problems that have been confounding him for weeks. He also said that his sugar cane had not developed evenly and won't amount to much if even by some miracle he beats the freeze. So there will most likely be no bounty to share with those who have expressed interest. Louis went on to say if he had to he would do it the old-fashioned way by hand just to get enough molasses for

ton. The department is about to begin negotiating with about 180 landowners over rights-of-way. Clinton Police Chief John Willoughby reported that it had been a busy month with 11 theft arrests, 60 speeding tickets written and 27 acci-
dents worked, many of them occurring in parking lots. He said Officer Jennifer Miller has resigned and her last day will be Nov. 25, and administrative assistant Kathy Barger has announced her retirement at the end of the year.
but if it comes down to that or taking care of the city workers, “we are obligated to our employees.” Barnes noted that running a shelter is not cheap. “If the citizens want a quality animal shelter, the private sector is going to have to step up.”
The Quorum Court is scheduled to meet this Thursday at the Courthouse Annex. Regular meeting time is 7 p.m., though it has been said this week’s meeting might begin early. Check with the county judge’s office for Thursday’s start time.

South Side pays tribute to veterans
By Pierce Grissen / South Side student journalist
Pictured are (from left) Logan Perkins, Whitney Hickey, art teacher Brittany Madalone, Jacob Bles, and welding instructor Randy Carr.
Angelic idea The EAST class at West Side is working on its plan to bring the community together to celebrate Christmas. Randy Carr’s welding class is making angels that will be adopted and placed in the outfield in memory or support for the upcoming Christmas in Greers Ferry project. Brittany Madalone’s art students are painting them. Each angel will say either “In Memory of” or “Merry Christmas from” with the name of a loved one or the donor’s name.. Anyone wishing to adopt an angel may pick up an order form from a business displaying the Celebrate Christmas in Greers Ferry Poster or contact Heather Garrett at Souvenir XtraOrdinaire. Proceeds will be used to expand this celebration next year and hopefully make it a
self-sustaining annual event. The official Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony will be Saturday, Dec. 3, at the Greers Ferry City Park at 6 p.m. The West Side High School Band and Choir will play Christmas music, a Live Nativity Scene presented by the West Side FCA will be featured, and of course, there will be Santa and Mrs. Claus. The next two Saturdays will again feature the Live Nativity, Santa and Mrs. Claus, and caroling by local church choirs. Each Saturday’s events will run from 6 until 9 p.m. The concession stand will be open and serving hot chocolate, cider and homemade treats from local churches. Everyone is invited to come join the celebration of Christmas.
Please plan to attend Randy Ego's Benefit at 1:00 Saturday
November 26,
in Walker Gym and please plan to donate generously. Call 870-496-2636 for Details.
Thank You
Veteran’s Day is a holiday celebrating all of the many proud veterans that served in the military, and South Side High School honored veterans with a special patriotic assembly. The assembly contained wellplayed music, inspiring speeches, and a strong feeling of patriotism for America. The event, coordinated by Julie Nelson, started off with the Posting of Colors, by seventh-grade students Hunter Griffin, Bobby Hoyle, Johnathan Walley, and Levi Walley. The Pledge of Allegiance was lead by Dalton Langston. The national anthem followed, along with a prayer lead by Makenzie Mosley. Introductions were giving by Addison Freeman, Reanna Payne, and Madi Griffith. A group of students, pre-chosen from each grade, read aloud their essays on their responsibility for America. These included: Taylor Holland, 12th grade; Ashley Shepard, 11th grade; Jaycee Brock, 10th grade; Marissa Lamb, ninth grade; Mary Payne,
ninth grade; Drew Raines, seventh grade; Riley Swofford, sixth grade; and Dakota Griffin, fifth grade. These select students spoke on how Americans can be responsible within their nation and how important veterans are to American society. Lee Guinn introduced state Rep. Trevor Drown, who is an Army master sergeant. Drown gave an empowering speech on the importance of veterans, and took the time to recognize many of the retired soldiers, including Jerry Eades, a World War II veteran who used to teach at South Side. He also recognized the families of the veterans and talked about his own family and how they raised him to be a soldier himself. The South Side choir took the stage, behind soloist Bailey Warner, a senior, who sang “Heroes.” The closing ceremony was lead by Madi Griffith. “Taps” was played by former South Side student, Donald Farley. Finally, the retiring of colors and the Benediction was lead by Beau Pennington.

It's a wrap Clinton falls to Centerpoint, 14-7 The Yellow Jackets’ 2016 football season ended Friday with a 14-7 loss to the Centerpoint Knights in the first round of the Class 3A Division playoffs. Clinton got off to a good start, scoring on a 21-yard touchdown run by Jake Ferrell in the first quarter. Eighteen seconds later, Centerpoint answered with a 35-yard touchdown run, and the score was tied 7-7 as the quarter came to an end. The Clinton defense stepped up big in the second quarter as the Knights threatened to score, moving the football to the Jacket 18. Sky Davidson took down the Knights’ quarterback for a loss, followed by a quarterback sack courtesy of Danny Bittle. A punt went into the end zone and Clinton took possession at its own 20. The Yellow Jackets worked their way down to the Centerpoint 20 before the Knights intercepted a pass, and a couple of plays later the half was over
with the score still tied at 7. In the third quarter, a Centerpoint touchdown was called back on a block in the back penalty, but a few plays later a pass from the 8-yard line and an extra point put the Knights up 147 with 8:14 left in the quarter. The Yellow Jackets picked up a couple of first downs in the fourth, including one on an 8-yard run by Kort Weaver and another as Bradley Amos broke a tackle and made it to the 20 with 6:30 left in the game. On a fourth down play with 7 yards to go, Weaver was sacked and the ball went to Centerpoint on downs. The Jackets defense did its job. Gunnar Ward made a big stop making it second and 10 for the Knights, but the clock ran out on Clinton, and the final score ended up 14-7 Centerpoint. Clinton picked up 17 first downs in the game, 11 rushing, 2 passing and 2 on penalties. They had 211 yards rushing, 56 yards passing and threw

Fishing Report
Crappie Time in Arkansas Again Many anglers were patiently waiting this fall for the crappie bite to kick in, as the extended summer temperatures continued into early October. But the good news around the state from the many anglers and shops that provide fishing reports is that the crappie bite is on
now that water has cooled a bit. Deer and other hunting seasons have directed many outdoors lovers to the woods, but there are still ample opportunities for a good fishing weekend with the cooler weather. Enjoy Arkansas's fishing holes.
Central Arkansas
heads are biting trotlines. Try worms and chicken liver for bait. Bass have slowed in the past week, rating poor.
Lake Conway
(updated 11-92016) Bates Field and Stream (501-4701846) said water is murky and at a normal level. Crappie remains good on minnows and jigs. Bream fishing is good on worms and crickets. Catfish are on the bite, rating good on a variety of baits and presentations. They’re biting well on yo-yos, trotlines, and flat-

Greers Ferry
As of Wednesday, the Army Corps of Engineers reports the lake’s elevation at 459.24 feet msl (normal conservation pool – 461.44 msl). (updated 11-92016) Tommy Cauley of Fish Finder Guide Service said the water level at Greers Fer-
ry Lake is at 459.28 and falling, the temperature is in lower 70s and needing to fall. It is warming back up in the afternoons to mid-70s. The crappie fishing is still about the same. They can be caught in and around the pole timber and over and around brush piles in 12-40 feet of water on jigs and minnows. The walleye are scattered and can be caught in 18-40 feet of water on crankbaits and minnows dragged around on drop-shot rigs. The bream are eating inline spinners, small crankbaits, crickets and crawlers from real shallow out to 30 feet of water. Bass fishing is getting better using spinnerbaits, small crankbaits and jigs in for fish in shallow depths. The deeper fish are eating C-rigs, football heads and Texas rigged worms. Catfishing is good all over the lake on a variety of baits, on trotlines, jugs and rod and reels. The hybrid and white bass are eating off and on all day and night. Use topwater baits, in-line spinners, spoons and swimbaits in 25-40 feet of water. There is some schooling going on at various times throughout the day all over the lake.
Little Red River (Greers Ferry Tailwater)
(updated 11-92016) James Dillard at Tailwater Fishing Co. said the fishing has been on fire. They have had water releases from the dam most week days.
Wade fishing has been possible up and down the entire river. Browns are slowly making their way onto the shoals to spawn. Wade carefully and don't disturb the reds. Egg patterns and midges have been producing great numbers of fish.
Little Maumelle River
(updated 11-92016) River Valley Marina (501-517-1250) said water was clear and surface temperature was at 70 degrees. Level and current were normal. Bass fishing was excellent using spinnerbaits, crankbaits and topwater lures. Bream bite was good on worms and crickets. Crappie were good on minnows and jigs. Catfishing was good using worms, blood bait and shad. White bass fishing, like that of largemouth bass, was excellent.
North Arkansas
White River (Bull Shoals Tailwater)
(updated 119-2016) Ron Gamble at Cotter Trout Dock said, “What a great week in the Arkansas Ozarks! The fall colors are not brilliant this autumn – you'll see a pop of bright reds or orange once in a while – but come on over anyway, the fishing has been outstanding.” Gamble says to be prepared for very cool mornings because they’re getting some fall temperatures (at last) and warm afternoons.

silver-bellied rogue (black or blue back) was catching all the fish this past week, mid-depth, 3 inches long. The rainbows are loving the shrimp/ pink PowerBait mashups. You might draw the attention of some browns (they have seen a fair number this week) with a minnow or a sculpin, but never underestimate a frustrated brown if you tease him enough with a gold Cleo, a white and gray jig or a peach/orange/yellow egg pattern fly. The holiday season is coming up and weekend getaways are being scheduled. Remember, Ron says: You can trout-fish year-round in the Arkansas fisheries and the Southern hospitality is all-year-long every day!
Norfork Lake
As of Wednesday, the Army Corps of Engineers reports the lake’s elevation at 552.61 feet msl (normal conservation pool: September-April – 553.75 msl, April-September – 552.00 msl). (updated 11-92016) Tom Reynolds of STR Outfitters said the busy schedule on Norfork Lake continues. Tom had two groups in for their Cast & Blast package. They striper-fish for two days and hunted pheasant the other day. The stripers are on the feed above the state line. This past week they caught over 60 stripers. Tom says he knows people are saying they are catching stripers on
the flats, but not the numbers his groups are. While they are baiting for shad they are seeing hundreds of stripers way up the creeks in 3 feet of clear water. They are feeding in the coldest water on the lake. This week the lake will turn over. The turnover will shut down fishing on the main lake for a few days, but after that the fish will go on a major feed and you will be able to find them anywhere on the lake. Look on the flats and up the major creek arms for schooling fish. The white bass were feeding around Bryant Creek for periods of over an hour. You should start seeing that after the lake turnover. If you fish above the state line, do not expect to catch any stripers if you plan on trolling with plastic baits or shiners. Tom says he has been watching trollers and shiner fisherman and not one has caught a striper. Tom’s groups are using 7-inch to 8-inch gizzard shad. That’s all the stripers want right now, so just wait until the lake turns and the plastics and shiners will then catch stripers. The best bite is the flat next to the river channel in 25 feet of water. There are huge schools of shad roaming the river. Just keep moving up and down the channel. They are catching stripers using downlines, weighted floats and planer boards, the lines are set at 16 feet.

(b) The primary function of such a publication shall be to inform, instruct, enlighten, and entertain, and to be an intangible service to which the general public as a whole resorts for intelligence of passing events of a political, religious, commercial, or social nature, for local and general current happenings, editorial comment, announcements, miscellaneous reading matter, advertisements, and other notices. (c) (1) For a newspaper to be eligible to publish legal notices and to be classified as a legal newspaper, it shall have been published at regular intervals continuously during a period of at least twelve (12) months, following the securing of a second-class mailing privilege, or as a direct legal successor of such a publication issued during the immediate prior period of at least twelve (12) months, or, in the case of a legal newspaper which surrenders its second-class mailing privilege and is subsequently sold, the resulting newspaper under new ownership is a legal newspaper if the purchased newspaper had been a legal newspaper within twelve (12) months prior to its sale.

(2) A legal newspaper must publish an average of forty percent (40%) news matter which has sufficient merit to have created a following of paid readers. (e) (1) The definition of “legal newspaper” provided in this section shall not be construed to classify as legal newspapers publications such as racing forms, shopping guides, and similar publications devoted primarily to advertising.

Arkansas youth kill 9,429 deer Cooler temperatures and the first
good signs of rutting activity beckoned well for the first youth hunt of the 2016-17 deer season last weekend, and Arkansas's young guns did not disappoint. Hunters harvested 9,429 deer during the two-day season. According to Cory Gray, deer program coordinator for the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission, Riley Cargile, a seventh-grader the harvest is lower than last year's at South Side High School, shot 12,000-deer youth hunt, but is very this deer during the first youth similar to the 2014 season, in which deer season earlier this month. youth hunters took just over 9,700 deer. According to checked numbers, Arkansas's deer harvest is at about 51,000 deer statewide. Again, this is below last year's harvest of 64,000, but on track with the year before, which had 53,000 deer checked by this point in the season. "We often see hunting seasons start off slowly, but quickly catch-up as the season progresses," Gray said. "The opening weekend of modern gun season and the week of Thanksgiving will be crucial periods for state harvest." The AGFC will be continuing to monitor for the spread of chronic wasting disease during opening weekend of modern gun season by manning 25 biological sampling sites within 10 counties in northern Water Well Drilling & Pump Installation Arkansas. Those sites Well Maintenance • Land Management are in Boone, Carroll, Johnson, Logan, Madison, Marion, Newton, Pope, Searcy and Yell counties.
