South Side Beta Club wins honors Five South SideBee Branch students competed in either the junior or senior high levels at the state Beta Club convention held in Hot Springs. Skyler Bradford won first place (junior high level) in Agricul-
ture. Reign Andrade won second place in English (senior high level). Daylan Smith received third place in Social Studies (senior high level) and earned the honor to compete
at the National Beta Club Convention in Savannah, Georgia. Flossie Glinski won first place in Digital Art (senior high level) and 10th place in Digital Art at the National Convention.
Circuit Judge H.G. Foster presented an update on his “not a drug court” to the Van Buren County Quorum Court last week. Foster reminded the justices of the peace that Van Buren County did not receive any grant money to develop a drug court, but he looked at components of it to “sort of make our own.” He said there are 12 participants in the program. One of them is currently in a Regional Punishment Facility, but he said that is not bad news. He said it was the participant’s choice to go into RPF, where the length of sentence depends on the person’s success, instead of serving a prison sentence that likely would have been shorter. Foster said he believes all 12 participants will be successful. Eventually, their criminal records can be
sealed. Also at the meeting, County Judge Roger Hooper reported progress on county roads. He said 4.5 miles of chip and seal have been completed on Baker Lake Road; 1.3 miles was completed on Rex Road; and improvements and repairs were made to Pole Ranch Road. Hooper said he has spoken with Gov. Asa Hutchinson and that Van Buren County has been declared a disaster area after last month’s rainfall and flooding. The state will reimburse the county for 35 percent of damages. Animal Control Officer Tim Pike said he picked up 34 dogs in the county and answered 77 calls total in August. Jail administrator Tracy Sutterfield said there are currently 62 inmates in pods, which
is 10 to 12 over capacity. She said there are 14 females in a four-person pod. There are seven jailers, she said. Neither Sheriff Randy Gurley nor his chief deputy, Max Young, was at the meeting to provide an oral report. After much discussion it was decided to table an ordinance to require each department head to inventory items in their office. The ordinance was introduced by Brian Tatum who said he wasn’t pointing fingers but noted that the sheriff’s office inventory lists one computer. “The problem is this,” Tatum said, “Each officer has a pistole, a vest, a taser; none of it is on inventory.” He continued, “How can I be a good steward of taxpayer money when I don’t know what we have?”
Suspect injured in fight with police A Perry man being held at Ozark Health Medical Center for an evaluation was injured during a fight with law enforcement officers after he fled the hospital. Donald Jason Lewis, 27, used the chair of a 16-year-old employee in the admissions office as a springboard to go over a desk and out of the building on Sept. 15, according to an arrest affidavit. The young employee was kicked in the shoulder and face during the escape and was slightly injured. A Clinton police officer searching for Lewis was told by a motorist that the man was near the Doctors Building. The officer reported that when he found the suspect, Lewis put up his hands as if he was surrendering, then instead began running south on Highway 65. The officer chased Lewis, shouting at him to stop running and get down, the report states. Lewis struck a construction barrel, slowing him down, and the officer was able to tackle the suspect, taking him to the ground. The fight began and a Van Buren County deputy arrived
Lewis as back up. The deputy reported that Lewis punched him in the mouth and began to reach for the deputy’s sidearm, according to the affidavit. The deputy struck Lewis twice in the face to make him release his hold on the firearm, according to the report. As the struggle ended, officers saw that Lewis had lacerations above and below his left eye and called for an ambulance. During treatment, the suspect spat blood and saliva on the EMT and the officer, according to the report. As a Clinton Police Department investigator photographed Lewis’ injuries, the suspect stated that he wanted to die, according to the
report. Because of that, Lewis was transported to UAMS by ambulance, the report states. Lewis is being charged with aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer, a Class D felony; battery-third degree, assault-third degree and fleeing, all misdemeanors. A probation and parole home visit ended in the arrest of a Clinton man on Sept. 18, 2018. A search of the residence on Buckeye Lane turned up a methamphetamine smoking device, digital scale, marijuana smoking device, marijuana grinder and small plastic zip bags with what appeared to be methamphetamine residue, according to the affidavit for arrest. Brian C. Duncan, 46, was charged with possession of drug paraphernalia, a Class D felony, and possession of drug paraphernalia, a misdemeanor. A probation and parole home visit resulted in two arrests on Sept. 18, 2018. A search of a residence on Graddy Road,
Shirley, turned up less than 2 grams of suspected methamphetamine, smoking pipes, digital scales; a green leafy substance believed to be marijuana, and a firearm under the bed, according to an arrest affidavit. Michael Lee Perry, 31, of Shirley has been charged with possession of a controlled substance, Class D felony; possession of drug paraphernalia, a Class D felony; misdemeanor possession of a controlled substance; and misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia. Bond was set at $5,000. Arraignment is scheduled for Oct. 25, 2018, in Van Buren County Circuit Court. Patricia Lynn Knollenberg, 55, has been charged with possession of a controlled substance, a Class D felony; possession of drug paraphernalia, a Class D felony; possession of firearms by certain persons, a Class D felony; misdemeanor possession of a controlled substance; and misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia.

School Board hears reports
These South Side-Bee Branch Elementary students enjoyed an afternoon at the Van Buren County Fair on Friday. The fair ended on a wet note Saturday.
The Clinton School Board heard reports from principals and the superintendent at its meeting last Monday. Dr. Joe Fisher reported that enrollment at Clinton schools for the 2018-19 year is 1,352 students. He also said Assistant State Superintendent Monitoring begins this week. Sheila Whitlow will meet with the district leadership team to work on the implementation of Professional Learning
Communities and student mentoring. Elementary Principal April Hagans discussed the completion of the first installment of the MAP assessment. Response to Intervention meetings with staff have begun in order to monitor student progress. Representatives from Arch Ford visited classrooms to observe the implementation of Grade Level Reading and provide feedback from the program, Ha-
gans said. Junior High Principal Michael Wells presented information regarding T.E.A.M. Teach, Empower, Affirm, Mentor - which at this point has students reviewing and understanding their ACT Aspire and MAP scores. The Arkansas Department of Education Student Support Division will visit the junior high campus to observe the program, Wells said.

Patsy Ward Formosa
Marva Ward attended great-grandson Remington Farrow’s birthday party at the Formosa Community Center on Saturday. Remi turned 4. He is growing up! Happy birthday, Remington! RG, Frankie and Rylan went fishing at Heber Springs. Rylan caught a couple of trout. He decided he liked catching them better than eating them! On Sunday, their family met at the pavilion at the Choctaw Recreation area to take family pictures. There were 29 family members present. A couple of them had to be elsewhere. After the pictures, they celebrated Rylan’s 13th birthday. They grilled hot dogs and sausages, served with all the trimmings, plus birthday cake. Rylan’s granny, Retha Brock, and Nana and Papaw, Lori and Larry Brock, were also there to help him celebrate. Time sure is flying, it seems like it has been about 5 years since he was born! Happy Birthday, Rylan! We went to North Little Rock for JR’s
Thelma Murray Shirley
Johnny and Rhonda Carlton went to a family birthday gathering at Mount Vernon at the home of grandson Emery and Jessica Murray. Mike and Susan Howard were there and so was Evan Murray and his friend Angelica. Those having a birthday to celebrate were Johnny Carlton on 9-8-18, Susan Howard on 9-1018 and Emery Murray on 9-11-18. Emery prepared a good meal for everyone. Lea Ann and Steve Jones attended their son Hayden's football game at Heber Springs. Donna and Greg McCabe of Fairfield Bay and their daughter Emily of Greers Ferry also attended. Lottie Carroll's friend Shirley Arends of Fort Dodge, Iowa, is spending about a week with Lottie. Rosalee Johnson
of Clinton, Missouri, and her daughter Tammy visited Joan Allen on their way home after attending the Hooten family reunion at Greers Ferry earlier this month. Visitors of Ruth Hodge were Dee Roberts, Helena Brown, and her niece, Karen Johnson of Poe Ranch. Wanda Poynor and her sister Carolyn Ussery of Greenbrier spent the weekend working on the Hooten family genealogy. Thelma Murray was enjoying the beautiful wildflowers along Highway 110 until the Highway Department sprayed them. Now we have ugly brown, like winter. What happened to beautify Arkansas roadways? The flowers were hiding the litter. If you would like a subscription to the Voice,Thelma Murray can help you get it started.
James & Joyce Burns Scotland
This has been a very busy week in Scotland. The senior center held its first jam session. I will tell you more about it next week. I have a story to tell. I caned a chair for someone that worked for the gas company, when they first started working in our area. This is when I had the studio in downtown Clinton. A lady from Heber Springs came in and saw them and ask if I would cane some for her. She took my name and phone number and I did not see her again. Until this year, about 20 years later. She called the chamber and Jason got in touch with me and I have done
three chairs for her. It is wonderful to be remembered for something that is fun to do. To continue with my story, two people that come to my studio to paint brought stools and I showed them how to cane them. Now I have more people that want to learn. If you are interested in joining a class (sometime after Christmas), I will teach you how. This is a lost art and I am so glad there are some that want to carry on the tradition. It is time to think about the fall and that brings to mind the beautiful colors and the cooler weather. Halloween will be coming up very soon, then Pig Eye Daze. Time to get ready to be a vendor and show off all of the things that you do and make and want to sell and share with everyone else. This will be our second one and should be much larger that last year’s. This means we will need more volunteers to help. We are planing on a lot of good music from some great artists. Get ready now. Big times are coming. Have a happy and safe week and call James Burns at 5923935 if you have Scotland news.

Good neighbor of the week…
Goes to Wanda Currier, who helped out Neighbors correspondent Jeff Burgess last week when his truck broke down on Archey Road. After thanking her profusely, she matter-of-factly told Burgess, “That’s what good neighbors do.” By the way, Friday is National Good Neighbor Day.
p.m. The theme is “Fall Colors” for food offerings. The 55 and greater community is invited. The 23rd Annual ACRDC Benefit Concert is Saturday, noon to 11 p.m., at the Alread F.U.N. Park. There will be live music, free bouncy house and games for the kids, horseshoe tournament, salsa contest and great food. ACCDA’s board meeting is Monday, 5-6p.m. Last week I drove the Archey Fork Valley Scenic Loop Drive. It’s close to an 80 mile drive and took about two hours. Since it mostly follows the high ground breathtaking views of Archey Fork Valley are numerous in addition to grand vistas of South Fork Valley and North Little Red Valley. The leaves were starting to change and might be near perfect in another week or so. Neighbor Johnny Fizjurl moaned about all the August rain and that early cold snap. Said it slowed down his tomatoes and okra. He went on to praise his sweet potatoes saying, “They didn’t seem to mind all the wet.” My question is, when is the last time anybody remembers a greener August and September? If you have info about the greater Crabtree and 16 West
community call or text Jeff Burgess, 7451249.

Steady as she goes Do you get dizzy after standing up? If you get a little dizzy or woozy when you stand up after sitting down or lying down, you might have something called "orthostatic hypotension." What is happening is that your blood pressure falls somewhat when repositioning yourself. This is actually very common in older adults, but it could make you at risk for falling. You should steady yourself by holding onto some-
thing nearby and wait a minute before starting to walk. If you were lying down, sit up first for a minute or two before attempting to stand. But here is some new information about this: Orthostatic hypotension makes you more likely to get dementia, according to a new study. Now we do not know why this might bring about dementia, further research is needed. But we do know that high blood pressure is associated

with dementia risk. Or, it may be that orthostatic hypotension is an indicator of poorer health, and those who have poorer health are more likely to get dementia. A third explanation might be the most probable. When your blood pressure falls, you get poor circulation to your brain, which might cause damage to the cells and this precipitates further injury that causes dementia. It’s easy to check to see if you have orthostatic hypotension. Check your blood pressure while you are sitting or supine, then immediately take it again after standing. If your blood pressure numbers are lower after standing, bring this up with your doctor at your next appointment. - Ron Henson, BSRN

Jim Appleby remembers that the building was a gasoline station and car wash once run by his uncle, James Blane White. Appleby said his uncle, a Navy veteran, ran the station in the mid- to late 1950s before moving to Conway to take a job with Kimberly Clark Corp. Appleby says the car wash stall was so small you could barely get an automobile into it. Current owner of the building, Eddie Lineberger, said that Dorothy Hatchett owned it for many years before selling it to a local lawyer. The lawyer sold it to someone who turned it into a gun shop. The owner sold muzzle-loaders, Lineberger remembers. Before it was Cities Service, Marie Whit-
worth Bowling, 95, remembers it from the late 1930s as Patterson’s Green Star station. She says she used to walk the path up the hill across the road to go to school. She graduated from the State Vocational School, as Clinton was then called, in 1942. The building was, in fact, originally the Walter Patterson Filling Station. The Tudor or English Revival style brick building on Highway 65B was built in 1937. We also received some information about the Lewis Building on Main Street and Boykin Court. Marjorie Tester Malone tells us she used to work on the second floor of the building from 19531955. She said there were six offices on the second floor, including an FHA office, Extension office, Agricul-
tural Conservation office and two offices occupied by doctors, one of them Dr. H.J. Hall. Malone, who now lives in Harrison, was a secretary in the Agri office. She said she could tell who was coming up the stairs by their footsteps. Downstairs, she said, was the Lewis lumber and hardware store. Another caller said she remembers a novelty store in the building around 1957 or ’58. She said she would take her young son to the store and tell him he could look but must not touch anything. She said people would laugh to see him walking up and down the aisles holding his hands tightly together behind his back. The Lewis Building was owned by Arthur Lewis. It was built in 1944. Thanks for the memories.

YELLOWJACKETS
SEARCY - It’s hard to believe that a game in Week 4 of the football season could have important playoff implications, but that was the case for Clinton (4-0, 1-0) and Harding Academy (2-2, 0-1) Friday night. Both teams entered as favorites to battle it out for the 3A-2 conference championship along with Melbourne, with the winner of this game being in the driver seat for playoff seeding. As such, this highly anticipated showdown was the Hooten’s Arkansas Football 3A game of the week, and was covered on statewide radio by The Buzz 103.7. Clinton prevailed in a 48-27 shootout behind 331 rushing yards by Sky Davidson and Caleb Bowman. The game got off to a fast start as Clinton quarterback Weston Amos connected with Austin Drake for a 45 yard touchdown pass on the first play from scrimmage. Matt Gonzalez kicked the extra point to give Clinton an early 7-0 lead. That lead, however, was short-lived as Harding Academy tied the game on a trick play pass from wide receiver Caden Sipe to quarterback Davis Morgan. Clinton went back to work in the wing-t offense, pounding the right side of the offensive line with continuous bruising runs by Davidson and Bowman. Davidson capped the 11 play, 56 yard drive with a 1 yard touchdown run to put Clinton ahead 14-7, but Harding Academy answered with an 88 yard kickoff return for a touchdown by Stone Sheffield to tie the game at 14 heading into the second quarter. The Yellow Jackets continued to
pound the Wildcats’ undersized line, and overcome a 1st and 23 courtesy of a holding penalty en route to a Bowman 2 yard touchdown run to retake the lead 21-14 at the 10:23 mark of the second quarter. Harding Academy once again moved the football into the Clinton red zone, but the Yellow Jacket defense stiffened, forcing an incomplete pass on 4th down.

Football Fever Clinton Yellow Jackets 2018 Football from page 6 sion to give Clinton a 42-14 lead. Harding never quit. Morgan engineered a scoring drive that combined precision passing and tough running between the tackles, ending with a touchdown strike to Connor McGaha on the first play of the 4th quarter to cut the lead 42-21. The Wildcats recovered their onside kick, and nine plays later Morgan hooked up with tight end Adam Fager for a 10 yard touchdown strike to cut the lead to 42-27. Davidson blocked the extra point attempt. With Amos still on the sideline, Clinton struggled to move the football, eventually punting the ball back to Harding with 6:05 left in the game. Facing 4th and 6, Morgan completed a 17 yard pass to Jimmy Citty to extend the drive into Yellow Jacket territory. The Wildcats made it to the 20 yard line before a false start penalty moved them back to the 25. Two incomplete passes brought up a 3rd and 15 situation. Morgan, an excellent runner, was flushed out of the pocket by Cort Bagley. Bagley chased Morgan down for just a 2 yard gain. On fourth down, safety Ryley McDonald batted away Morgan’s pass to McGaha to end the threat. Amos returned to the ballgame, which gave the Yellow Jacket offense renewed life. After three runs by Bowman, Davidson took a handoff 60 yards for the kill shot touchdown, his fourth of the night, to cap the scoring 48-27. Davidson rushed 20 times for 209 yards and four touchdowns, while fellow senior Bowman added 122 yards on 15 carries and 1 touchdown. Amos finished the game having completed both of his passes to Austin Drake for 54 yards and a touchdown, and added another rushing touchdown on 52 yards rushing. Ethen Drake followed up his career performance last Friday night against CAC with 52 yards rushing on 7 carries. Defensively, Bowman led the way with 14 tackles. Austin Drake added 9 stops, and Cort Bagley recorded 8 tackles from his nose tackle position. The defensive staff moved Derek Russell from safety to outside linebacker this week, and it paid big dividends as he recorded 5 open field tackles on the perimeter. For Harding, Morgan completed 21 of his 38 passing attempts for 224 yards and a pair of touchdowns. His leading receiver was McGaha, who caught 8 passes for 93 yards and a touchdown.

Remembering Lalla's Garden
As usual, good news, bad news in the garden By Jeff Burgess & Lalla Lee Ostergren
(Longtime organic gardening friends Jeff and Lalla share their gardening experience, strength and hope here monthly. Lalla, 94, is under hospice care.) “Let’s get the bad news out of the way first, Jeff.” “OK, The Critter is back! It took out most of our fall seedlings including lettuce, kale, Swiss chard, beets, garden cress, spinach and dill. There are a few left of each and I’ve covered them with wire cages.” “Did you figure out how it got in?” “Yep, another hole I missed in the fence and a burrow hole behind the garden shed but inside the fence. Both have been closed off.” “That’s good! But there was something else you mentioned.” “Yes, we now have moles, Lalla.” “Don’t be depressed now, Jeff, that means we have good soil and lots of earthworms. I just ask you don’t use poison to get rid of them.” “I won’t. I’m considering traps or maybe a windmill noisemaker that the manufacturer claims drives them away.” “Mama used to use tobacco spread around and when really bad she’d mix up an emulsion of castor oil, soap and water and sprinkled it on problem areas. But you’ll figure it out. Let’s hear some good news.” “The tomatoes and green beans continue bountifully. Also productive is early Swiss Chard, sweet and banana peppers and okra. The Critter did not bother our late cucumbers and yard long beans or the carrots and radishes. I continue to plant radishes and garden cress weekly.”
CRYPOTOGRAM answer “Books serve to show a man that those original thoughts of his aren't very new after all.”
“This sounds good. You know it’s still not too late to plant garlic cloves and onions. But we need to start preparing for the first frost in October, Jeff.” “I found your huge supply of old sheets and blankets in that repurposed freezer. And I am planning to add a cold frame in front of the greenhouse.”
“You know Jeff, I use to sew old dryer sheets together to make frost blankets. Now is the time to prepare.” “We will be, Lalla. I’ll keep a close eye on the weather.” “I remember reading years ago how fermented vegetables— uncooked — are superfoods. One of my favorite recipes came from my Vietnamese friend. In a large stone jar she'd make 3 inch layers of vegetables packed down with salt sprinkled over each until the jar was full. I liked a lot of mustard in mine but anything coming out of the garden

can be used. My friend would use the whole plant, washed roots and all. When the jar is full a cover that fits inside is placed with a weight on top. When fermentation slows down, in maybe 2 to 3 weeks, the vegetables are ready to eat. My friend ate hers with rice.” “Seems like there would be a lot of fruit flies or gnats, Lalla.” “Haha. Yes, seems like fruit flies and home vegetable processing go hand in hand. Quick cleanup and proper disposal of waste is important but even then the little beasties seem to show up. So I like to have a glass jar with a small hole punched in the lid. Put a little fruit in the jar for bait. The flies crawl through the hole and can’t figure how to get out. Empty every other day and add fresh bait.” “That’s simple enough.” “When I was a kid Mama always said, ‘Make use of what you have.’ I suppose it was because we were so poor but it has turned
September 25, 2018 out to be good advice for me. When my husband Richard wasn’t feeling well I would change the ingredients in his raw vegetable juice to address his particular needs. He refused to see a doctor the last 30 years of his life. I’m convinced his daily raw vegetable juice with 6 or so garlic cloves made the difference. He never had garlic breath.” “I’ve always admired your enthusiasm and conviction about the benefits of healthy eating, Lalla.” “At one time I wanted to be a biochemist. And I have wondered, when making compost, just what each stick, stalk and leave has to contribute to a future plant.” “Each plant requires a mix of minerals for their health, so they send their little roots out to search for those minerals. Then we eat the plants to get the minerals we need for our health.” “What a wonderful process! We are responsible for the health
of our plants and our plants are responsible for our health.” “You’re a marvel, Lalla.” “A friend once told me an ounce of prevention for her health was a ton of work in her garden. I prefer to say the joy that comes from raising and caring for my garden is a ton of prevention.” “Anything else you’d like to mention before we end this month’s column, Lalla?” “I want to remind people to not forget their houseplants outside. The first freeze can sometimes sneak up on us. I’m guessing it’ll be later in October but there is no substitute for being mindful of the weather. And I encourage people to take a walk on a nearby country road to see the incredible colors of the forest. Breathe deep the fresh air. Be thankful and appreciative to live in such a beautiful place with such kindly and friendly people. I am so blessed.” “Hope to see you in the garden next month.”

Fishing Report lure has proved very successful this week: the Brook Trout Rapala. Trout of all sizes have been biting on it, with many larger browns being reeled in. Other favorites were the red-bladed Blue Fox and olive and tan jigs. Bring a jacket for the mornings and a camera to record your big catches.

Central Arkansas
Little Red River
(updated 9-192018) Lowell Myers of Sore Lip’em All Guide Service said the expected return of lower temperatures over the next few days combined with wildflowers in full bloom make this a great time to trout fish on the Little Red River. Currently the Little Red is receiving a few hours of afternoon and/or evening generation. For fly-fishing, Lowell recommends midges, soft hackles, sowbugs and streamers. Hot pink and cotton candy bodies on chartreuse jigheads are recommended for Trout Magnet spin fishing. Be safe while enjoying the river. Always check before heading to the Little Red River by calling the Corps of Engineers Little Rock District water data system (501362-5150) for Greers Ferry Dam water release information.
Greers Ferry Lake
As of Wednesday, the Army Corps of Engineers reports the lake’s elevation at 459.99 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 9-192018) Tommy Cauley of Fishfinder Guide Service (501-940-1318) said the water level at Greers Ferry Lake is at 460.08 feet msl, = 2.46 feet below normal pool of 462.54 feet for this time of year, and it will continue to fall with generation because not much rain is forecast for this hotter-than-normal time of year and for generation needs. The catching all over the lake is great and getting better by the minute. The fish are healthy and we have a large forage base going into fall and winter. The bite will be off the charts between now and when it gets super cold in late January. The crappie are eating well, especially up the rivers. The lake fish get no respect or pressure at all; try using minnow and jigs fished vertically in 12-28 feet of water around any wood. The catfishing is good all over the lake with not much pressure either; use any method you like, there are plenty to be caught using rod and reels or jugs and lines. Walleye are eating cranks and crawlers; use jigheads or drop-shots in 15-28 feet on flats. Black bass are on the feed and ag-
gressive, schooling on top or down. Try topwater baits, spinnerbaits, crankbaits, jigs, jig-headed worms, Texas-rigged worms or C-rigs from super shallow out to 38 feet. The bream bite is good from super shallow out to 28 feet on crickets and crawlers. Up shallow try small crankbaits and inline spinners or flies. The hybrid and white bass are gorging themselves on top and down; use topwater baits, spoons, inline spinners, swimbaits or Alabama rigs in 15-55 feet of water. Just stay around shad.
North Arkansas
White River
(updated 9-192018) Cotter Trout Dock (870-435-6525) says fall is approaching and the big browns are ramping up their bite ahead of the upcoming spawn. The past week we've seen wide temperature swings from fall-like temps in the morning to almost summertime highs in the afternoon. Despite the changes for the anglers, the rainbow catch has been steady with the favored PowerBait color changing from yellow to either sunrise or range. A new
As of Wednesday, the Army Corps of Engineers reports the lake’s elevation at 551.81 feet msl (normal conservation pool: September-April 552.00 feet msl; April-September, 554.00 feet msl). (updated 9-192018) Lou Gabric at Hummingbird Hideaway Resort said Norfork Lake's summer fishing pattern is winding down, but still trying to hang on with the hot weather we're having this week. If the future weather forecast has any validity, I predict that the fish will start to move more into a normal early fall pattern sometime next week. Hopefully my prediction is more accurate than the weather forecast usually is (ha). What I am trying to say is that the striped bass will soon migrate from the dam area and head northward toward cooler water, the larger slab crappie will start to move back into the brush, and the bass will start to feed more heavily in shallower water. Currently the best bite for striped and hybrid bass is still located close to the dam and the fish are deep, from 60 - 80 feet down, either on the bottom or suspended out in the deep river channel. I fished by the dam area on Monday the 17th and had a great day of fishing. Live bait is working the best, but vertical jig-

ging with a spoon is also catching a few fish. Trolling an umbrella rig or a large swim bait is also picking up some nice fish, but you need to get your bait down below the 50 foot mark. The walleye bite is also very good. You can locate this species in several different areas and depths. If you like to troll with a bottom bouncing weight and a crawler harness, start checking out the sides of long points, as well as, along the deeper bluff lines and bluff line points. The walleye are moving out a little deeper and can be found in 30 - 40 feet of water. The thermocline is dropping down so the fish are following suit. The second location is in very deep water on the bottom. Monday I found a huge school of hungry fish 80 foot deep. I was fishing close to the dam out in front of a main lake point. I was on a drop off with the front of my boat in 80 feet of water and the back of my boat in 100 feet of water. I was getting short bites on live bait and losing them half way up. I even tried a stinger hook with no luck. I decided to start vertical jigging a white with a chartreuse back spoon and they loved it. I would drop it to the bottom then lift it up about 4 feet then let it fall again. They were eating the spoon on the fall and when I would start to lift the spoon up again I would feel the weight of the fish. I limited out in less than a half hour once I started this process. The crappie bite slowed for me this week with the water warming about 3 - 4 degrees. The bigger slabs that were on the brush last week seemed to have moved off of the brush. They should start moving back in next week
with the upcoming cool weather forecast. I had a good day of fishing this morning for spotted bass and white bass. The medium size whites have schooled up on large flats. Early and late in the day you can find schools of fish from 12 - 25 feet of water. I was vertical jigging a 1/2 ounce spoon and catching one after another. The big jumbo whites will move onto these same flats as the water cools. At sunset you can find schools feeding on the surface. I found quite a few nice size spotted bass this morning while trying to find big crappie. I was jigging a 1/4 ounce spoon in and around brush piles. The spots were towards the bottom of the brush with a lot of small crappie and white bass on the tops of the brush. I also had a big battle with a 12 pound blue cat. This cat hammered my little spoon and I thought I was snagged at first, then he started to swim. 15 minutes later he gave up and came to the surface. I only have 4 pound test monofilament line on my reel with an ultra-light rod. It was really fun. I was grinning the whole time during the fight! Norfork Lake level is falling very slowly and currently sits at 551.83. The lake surface water temperature has increased slightly to 83-84 degrees. The main lake appears to be clear from the surface with some of the coves and creeks slightly stained. The thermocline has dropped to roughly 35 feet based on the temperature readings taken by the Norfork Lake Striper Club last week (thanks to the club for the great information).
