TUESDAY, September 11, 2018 / Vol. 4 Issue 37 / 75 cents
We will never forget Seventeen years ago today the United States was under attack. At 8:46 a.m. eastern time Sept. 11, 2001, an American Airlines flight out of Boston that had been hijacked flew into the North Tower of the World Trade Center. Sixteen minutes later, a United Airlines flight, also out of Bos-
ton, smashed into the South Tower. Two more planes also were hijacked, one of them crashing into the Pentagon, the other crashing in a field in Pennsylvania after passengers, who had heard about the previous incidents, fought with hijackers for control of the plane. When all was said
and done, 2,996 people were killed, including the 19 terrorist hijackers. That number included 343 firefighters and paramedics, 23 police officers and 37 Port Authority officers in New York as well as 2,360 people in the World Trade Center. The death toll at the Pentagon was 189, and the crash in the Pennsylvania field
took the lives of 44. The attack would define the presidency of George W. Bush and bring many changes to the United States. It took almost 10 years, but on May 2, 2011, U.S. forces finally caught up with Osama bin Laden, and on orders from President Barack Obama, killed the mastermind of the Sept. 11 attack.
Panel hears report on ambulance The Van Buren County Ambulance Oversight Committee appeared to be pleased with the performance of Medic One when it met last week. The 911 dispatch center’s Judy Wells reported year to date numbers for the service, which was awarded a five-year contract in December. Total calls were 1,505. Of those calls, 959 were emergencies, 546 were patient transfers. Medic One and Fairfield Bay ambulances covered for each other several times. Five times patients were transported
by other sources such as police or civilian vehicles. About 220 times the county was out of Medic One ambulances though there were no 911 calls. Those times ranged from minutes to hours. Eighteen times there was no ambulance available when 911 was called. Medic One President Ryan Kibler said he has not personally received any complaints. He said he is aware that some people would like to see more ambulances in the county but statistically two ambulances are enough.
DHS to give flu shots on Oct. 4 The Arkansas Department of Health is conducting a flu vaccination clinic from 8 a.m.-4 p.m. Oct. 4, 2018, at the Van Buren County Fairgrounds on Highway 16 East. Bring insurance information and drivers license or state issued ID. Those with no insurance or insurance that does not cover the vaccine will not be charged.
SWN to sell shale assets to Flywheel Southwestern Energy Co. agreed to sell its Fayetteville shale assets in Arkansas to privately owned Flywheel Energy LLC in an all-cash deal valued at about $1.87 billion, Southwestern said last week. The deal, scheduled to close in December, ends a six-month effort by the Houston-based company to find a buyer for the Fayetteville shale operations to pay off debt it ran up years ago when U.S. natural
gas prices were higher. Flywheel is backed by the investment firm Kayne Anderson. It will assume $438 million of future contractual liabilities. Southwestern will turn its focus to expanding its natural gas and gas-liquids output in Pennsylvania and West Virginia. In July, BHP Billiton sold its Fayetteville assets for about $300 million to Merit Energy Co. as part of its exit from U.S. shale properties.

Culprit tries to take off with inflatable bug An attempt to make off with an inflatable insect at Jim Tumlison Field on Aug. 31 was thwarted by fleet-footed law enforcement officers. According to Clinton police, someone tried to take down the Yellow Jacket balloon at the football field as Clinton was preparing to play Heber Springs in the season opener. The culprit scaled the fence by the concession stand then fled on foot and apparently tried to fight with officers who caught up with him across the street.
One witness said she couldn’t tell who the police officer that caught up with the suspect first was, but he showed “nice form” in his tackle. “He tried to juke, but (the officer) jived and put him flat on his back,” the witness stated on Facebook. Larry Webb, 57, has been charged with criminal mischief-second degree, disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, and fleeing on foot, all misdemeanors. His bond has been set at $1,500. Arraignment is scheduled for Oct. 8, 2018, in District Court.
Charge filed in sign theft On Sept. 4, a felony theft of property charge was filed against a man accused of taking a sign that was to be installed at the Methodist Thrift Store in downtown Clinton. The sign, valued at $5,860, had been delivered for installation and left at the back of the thrift shop in March. Video surveillance of the incident showed Joshua Aron Miles loading each piece of the sign on top of his silver Mustang, according to an
affidavit for arrest. A Clinton officer drove to Miles’ apartment on Pate Street and found the sign panels leaning against the outside of the building, the affidavit states. Miles told police he had taken the sign pieces from the trash area of the thrift store. He said he had cut one of the panels to repair a hold in his shower wall, the report states. The rest of the pieces were loaded into the officer’s patrol truck and returned to the

thrift store. The sign builders have repaired the damaged part of the thrift store sign. Theft of property is a Class C felony. An arrest warrant has been issued for Miles, 40.
Other arrests:
* Van Buren County sheriff's deputies arrested 25-year-old Justin L. Davis of Alexander, Arkansas, on charges of domestic battery-third degree, fleeing on foot, possession schedule VI. All are misdemeanors. * Deputies arrested 31 year old Elbert
L. Jolly of Louisiana on disorderly conduct charges for threatening employees at the Ozark Health Medical Center and causing a disturbance, according to a news release from the sheriff’s office. * Tommy R. Williams, 52, of Bee Branch has been arrested and charged with four misdemeanor counts of terroristic threatening, misdemeanor assault on a family member-third degree, and misdemeanor resisting arrest.

Jimmy and Thelma Murray visited Jimmy's cousin Carolyn Hackett of Fairfield Bay on Monday, Labor Day. We had a real nice afternoon. We have had plenty of rain in Van Buren County in August and September. I am sure the fish, frogs and all grass-eating animals are very happy, but the people who are having to pay for extra lawn mowing aren't so happy. Even God can’t please all creation all the time. There was a good attendance at the Cowboy Catfish Supper each night this year. All the people who ate fish, volunteered and donated desserts were much appreciated. Remington Lee Cogbill spent Saturday night with his grandparents Steven and Belinda Murray, and went to church for the first time on Sunday.

Registration is available online at arscca.org The Annual Community Blood Drive In Alread is scheduled forOctober 9. Call Marge at 745-6304 or Burtie at 745-5278 to sign up. A reader called about last week’s mention of The Arkansas Feral Hog Eradication Task Force. It was formed last year by our state Legislature to create a plan to address this economically devastating problem. They are presently, through October 22, seeking public input on the use of hog bait (poison) as a means of control. Neighbor Johnny Fizjurl was recently commenting on the generally poor quality of soil around here. Says he likes to plant a crop like Sudan grass or winter wheat (there are other options) and then plowing it under when mature. He also uses much manure and compost. “It ain’t perfect but it helps,” he said. If you have info about the greater Crabtree and 16 West community call Jeff Burgess, 745-1249.

Friday was a very nice cool day. I wish I could have been outside to enjoy it. When you stay inside most of the time it seems that the time just flies. So now fall is almost here. I saw the leaves blowing when I looked out a few minutes ago.
We will soon see the colors change. I want to remind everyone to get their fair entries ready for the exhibits. I am busy cutting mats and framing pictures for the fair. I hope to get to go this year. I always enjoy looking at all of the wonderful things everyone does and getting to visit with all of the friends that I see there. Entries need to be in on Monday, Sept. 17. Years ago, I think about 1992, when Helen Baker was working on getting that beautiful old yellow house at Bee Branch on the National Registry, she ask me to do an oil painting of it. I felt so honored that she had ask me and I worked very hard to to do a good job. Like a lot of other things, once we are finished with a project we go on to other things and forget about the past. Now the beautiful old house is going to be sold, so I ask about the painting and was able to borrow it for a while and cleaned it and oiled and refurbished the frame, and I was even more pleased now then I was when I first finished it. I was granted permission to make some prints and cards from the painting and they will be out very soon. I appreciate Harold Starks allowing me to do that and Ina Cassell for putting me in touch with him. This is such a beautiful house, built in 1907 and It would make a great bed and breakfast or a restaurant and the location is perfect. It is nice to have a little rest after the wagon races and the fish fries. It was great and fun and lots of folks volunteered and did a good service and we will all look forward to doing it again next year. If you have Scotland news call James Burns at 592-3925.

JR and I went to Tilly on Wednesday to help his sister, Bonnie Drewry, celebrate her birthday. We had a good lunch and enjoyed her big day with her. She is feeling much better. We got our weekly shopping done on the way home, so we got to stay home on Thursday. I gathered my okra, tomatoes and peas. Now I have some shelling to do. I talked to Ruth Webb, she says she is doing pretty well. Ronnie is staying with her for a while, so that is good. Marva Ward got a new dishwasher. David Morse installed it for her. Sounds like a good guy to have around! Donna and Richard Sherrod went to Jonesboro to see their daughter, Tammy, on Thursday. She spent a few days in the hospital there. Donna said they got caught in a pretty heavy thunderstorm. They attended a family reunion in Highland on Saturday, which was attended by around 100 people. They spent Saturday night at Spring River Lodge in Hardy, where Donna got to spend some extra time with her brother who is 90 years old. They also spent a couple nights at their home in Evening Shade. That’s about all I could dig up for this week, so every body have a great week. God bless and take care.

I think I’ll sit this one out We all know what causes diabetes, don’t we? Eating too much of the wrong things. Yep. These foods raise the glucose levels in our system, which causes the body to keep pumping out insulin to take care of it until our poor old body just gives up and raises the white flag. Abracadabra, we have diabetes. Just recently we have found that there is something else that may be afoot here. A recent study at the McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, found that inactivity for a period of time can jump start diabetes. This study was done with a group of
prediabetics that were hospitalized for one reason or another. But whether you are forced, or choose, to be inactive, it doesn’t matter. Your blood glucose level will rise, and here we go again. Insulin isn’t the only thing that can get rid of glucose, moving your muscles will as well. Burn those darn calories! If you are laid up for a while, exercise some. It doesn’t have to involve walking if you can’t walk, and watch what you eat. Cut back on sugars and processed foods. You know what I’m talking about, I can see those doughnuts right there beside you. - Ron Henson, BSRN

YELLOWJACKETS Sophomore Logan Moudy, No. 11, scored his first varsity touchdowns Friday night.
A couple of tuba-playing Yellow Jackets pull double duty at half time.
JIM TUMLISON FIELD - The Clinton Yellow Jackets (2-0) reeled off 6 unanswered touchdowns over two and a half quarters to knock out Conway Christian (1-2) on a rainy and humid night courtesy of former tropical storm Gordon. John Riley Hinchey (Jr.) and Logan Moudy (So.) both ran for a pair of touchdowns in the romp, while Ryley McDonald (Sr.) and Blaine Emberton (So.) picked off passes for a Yellow Jacket defense that contained a high powered passing offense for most of the night. Clinton won the toss and elected to defer their choice to the second half. Conway Christian did not take long to score, as quarterback Jacob Wood rolled to his left on a run-pass option and lofted a perfect pass to Jesse Dather for a 61 yard gain. Two plays later, Wood would find the end zone on a quarterback keeper to make the score 7-0. The Yellow Jackets seemed unfazed however, as they marched down the field in chunks. Weston Amos, Ethen Drake and John Riley Hinchey each had long runs to key the offense. Hinchey capped the drive off as he went untouched into the end zone from 5 yards out. Matt Gonzalez kicked the extra point to tie the score at 7. Clinton’s defense then took over the game. On the Eagles’ next possession, Ryley McDonald intercepted Wood’s pass and returned it near midfield. Two plays later, Hinchey would score his second touchdown of the night, rumbling up the middle for 54 yards to make the score 14-7. The Yellow Jackets held the Eagles on fourth down around midfield on the next series as Derek Russell broke up a pass from Wood to Wyatt Lawrence. After a series of miscues on the snap due to a slick ball, the Yellow Jackets faced 4th and 21 from the Eagle 31 yard line. Weston Amos rolled right and fired a pass to a double covered Austin Drake, who tipped it to himself and then sprinted to the end zone for the touchdown. Gonzalez tacked on the extra point to make it 21-7. Senior Sky Davidson thwarted the next Eagle drive almost before it began, sacking Wood from the blindside and forcing a fumble that was recovered by Wyatt Lawrence, albeit 19 yards behind the line of scrimmage. That set up an electric punt return by Ethen Drake, who fielded a Bennett Ellis punt around midfield and raced his way down to the Eagle 8 yard line. One play later, he finished the drive with an 8 yard touchdown run. Gonzalez missed the extra point, but Clinton held all the momentum and a 27-7 lead.

Football Fever Clinton Yellow Jackets 2018 Football from page 6 forced a punt, and the Yellow Jackets drove right down the field with big runs by Amos and Russell. Sky Davidson finished the drive with a 38 yard touchdown run, and added the 2 point conversion to give Clinton the lead 35-7 going into halftime. The Yellow Jackets scored on their first possession of the second half as Weston Amos put Eagle defenders on skates with a shifty 38 yard touchdown run, invoking the Sportsmanship Rule. Conway Christian was able to get a pair of touchdowns late in the game on passes from Wood to Jesse Dather and Nick Scherry. However, the Eagles could not stop the Yellow Jackets, even with some sophomores seeing their first significant varsity action. The final score was 55-21. Logan Moudy, Travis Williams, and Blaine Emberton each recorded multiple carries in the second half, with Moudy scoring touchdowns from 23 and 21 yards out. Emberton also picked off a Jacob Wood
pass to end the Eagles’ final drive of the game. With the wet conditions, Clinton used their powerful run game to roll up 429 yards on the ground, keyed by Sky Davidson (115 yards) and John Riley Hinchey (86 yards, 2 touchdowns). Weston Amos added 81 yards on the ground, passed for 30 yards on 3 completions (6 attempts), and scored two touchdowns (1 passing, 1 rushing). Austin Drake caught 3 passes for 30 yards and a touchdown. Defensively, Sky Davidson had 5 tackles, a sack, and a forced fumble, while Kadance Sowell recorded 5 tackles and a pass breakup. Austin Drake and Derek Russell added pass breakups, while Cort Bagley and Reuben Dawson combined for a sack. Conway Christian’s Jacob Wood passed for two touchdowns and 154 yards on 9 of 20 passing, and also rushed for 41 yards and a touchdown in the loss. The Jackets begin the first of three consecutive road games Friday, taking on Central Arkansas Christian.

Fishing Report

Central Arkansas
Little Red River
(updated 9-5-2018) Lowell Myers of Sore Lip’em All Guide Service said the Little Red is getting a few hours of early afternoon and/ or evening generation. Forecasts are showing the system coming up from the Gulf producing significant rainfall in our area over the next few days. If this happens, the Little Red could potentially experience stained or muddy water on the middle and lower sections of the Little Red. For fly-fishing, Lowell recommend midges, soft hackles, sowbugs and streamers. Hot pink and cotton candy bodies on chartreuse jigheads are recommended for Trout Magnet spin fishing. Don’t forget to participate in the annual Little Red River Clean-up that is scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 8. Be safe while enjoying the river. Always check before heading to the Little Red River by calling the Army Corps of Engineers Little Rock District water data system (501-3625150) for Greers Ferry Dam water release information.
Greers Ferry Lake
As of Wednesday,
the Army Corps of Engineers reports the lake’s elevation at 460.52 feet msl (normal conservation pool: 462.04 feet msl Oct. 1-April 30; 463.04 feet msl May 1-June 1; 462.54 feet msl June 1-Sept. 30). (updated 9-5-2018) Tommy Cauley of Fishfinder Guide Service (501-940-1318) said the water level at Greers Ferry Lake as of Tuesday evening was at 460.40 feet msl and falling with generation. It is 2.17 feet below normal pool of 462.54 feet msl. The catching is good overall, it is just a timing issue – being there or staying there when they feed, as it will happen off and on all day now (and sometimes go on all day), according to wind, weather, etc. But if you are pushed for time, you can miss it hopping around trying to make something happen. The best thing is find the bait and stay put – patience is key. The crappie are eating in the pole timber and some are following white bass and hybrid bass around as well. The pole timber fish and brush pile fish can be caught with minnows, jigs, and jigs tipped with minnows in 12-26 feet of water. The catfish are eating all around the lake on
a variety of baits and techniques. The black bass are eating spinnerbaits in wind. Some are schooling, some are right on the bank, some mid-depths, some out in 45 feet of water. Try topwater baits, jigs, small crankbaits, football heads tipped with a worm, Texas-rigged worms and a C-rig with a Senko for the best overall bite. Bream are eating crickets, crawlers and small crankbaits and inline spinners. Walleye are eating crawlers drug around in 12-26 feet of water on a jighead, dropshot rig, and spoons. The hybrid and white bass are eating inline spinners, spoons, topwater baits, swimbaits and the Texas Tornado. Fishing vertical is best at this time, with the horizontal bite picking up every day in 2355 feet.
North Arkansas
White River
(updated 9-52018) Cotter Trout Dock (870-435-6525) says, “The White River winds through the Arkansas Ozarks and offers an angler the opportunity to catch more trout than in any other stream in the country. After a week or two respite from the heat,
we're experiencing summer's last hurrah in Cotter: hot and humid.” Bull Shoals Lake is 3 feet below power pool and the small amount of water generation from the dam comes late in the afternoon but has fallen before dawn, and water level is near minimum flow amounts all day. Makes for great wade fishing but requires some extra skill and knowledge of the river to keep a jon boat floating. And makes for a great time to catch trout. Sunrise-colored Power Eggs have been a favorite this week for both shore fishers and anglers in boats. The browns are still biting at sculpins and softshell crawdads (keep the Rebel Wee Craw handy). The ruby midge has been the go-to fly to tie on. Pull out your hopper flies; the end of August, first of September, is the best grasshopper crop of the year and the trout are looking for them. “Keep anglin' and we'll see you on the river.”
Bull Shoals Lake
As of Wednesday, the Army Corps of Engineers reports the lake’s elevation at 657.33 feet msl (normal conservation pool: 659.00 feet msl). (updated 9-52018) Del Colvin at Bull Shoals Lake Boat Dock said the lake water is starting to cool off, which is helping the fishing. They have 84-degree temperatures as of Wednesday. Del says, “I’d say the biggest bite for the lake has been the walleye. The walleye have been really good this past week.” Anglers are bottom-bouncing from 28-36 feet around main lake points and secondary points. “Everybody seems to be catching them.” As far as the largemouth bass fishing goes,

4755 Hwy 65s, Clinton, AR, 72031 (501) 745-2296 (501) 253-8985 phillipjonesrealestate@gmail.com
pretty much the early morning topwater bite seems to be on the “moving” baits rather than on poppers or the walk-the-dog style baits. Del says buzzbaits and the Whopper Plopper are working. Some of the shad have migrated into the creeks. He notes that threadfin shad appear headed about halfway to three-quarters back. “I think it’s the rains we’ve gotten that have pulled them back there, and (the Army Corps of Engineers) haven’t been running a bunch of water (at Bull Shoals Dam). The Corps has it at minimum flow.” The Kentucky bass seem to be around the channel swing banks or suspending over trees. There are tons of trees in Bull Shoals Lake, he says. Del adds that “you can never go wrong with a half-ounce football head jig on Bull Shoals Lake. Big worms are also working. Anything with red in it will work.” Crappie are mostly random these days. There are a couple of regular crappie anglers that Del seems often, but he said he hasn’t seen them going out lately.
Norfork Lake
As of Wednesday, the Army Corps of Engineers reports the lake’s elevation at 552.24feet msl (normal conservation pool: September-April 552.00 feet msl; April-September, 554.00 feet msl). (updated 9-5-2018) Tom Reynolds of STR Outfitters said the striper bite continues to be excellent on Norfork Lake. He says, “In fact, on Friday the action was so fast we finished up quickly so I invited a local who fishes by me to come on to my boat. We hooked up the other person’s rod who stayed in their boat and in another 25
minutes they both had their limit of stripers. I limited out the last four days very quickly. Today, Labor Day, my clients were done in 45 minutes. A tourist had been fishing by us the last two days with their grandchildren with no luck. Today it was just Jenna and grandpa so we had Jenna get in my boat and set up grandpa and they both caught their limit of stripers. Jenna caught her three so fast she could not get one in before there was another one on the pole. “I enjoy seeing these kids’ smiles on their faces when they catch the biggest fish of their lives and now know they can catch fish. Grandpa was smiling ear to ear.” Tom says the stripers are moving deeper and he’s now catching them in the 70-80 feet range with gizzard shad. “The guys using threadfin shad are catching them but not at the rate we are. Threadfin life span is very short at these depths, so you have to change them out every 5 minutes whereas the gizzards can stay down to up to 20 minutes before you need to change them. When that school comes by the lively bait will always catch more fish,” he said. Spoons are not working right now; the stripers do not want to move much to feed. They are catching some trolling but nothing like live bait is right now. The stripers are now within a quarterto half-mile of the dam off the points in waters ranging from 70130. The best bite is after light starting around 6:30 and lasting up to 9 a.m.
