Clinton looks at public tree protection The Clinton City Council took up discussion on a Public Tree Care ordinance at its meeting last week. The ordinance would “enhance the quality of life and the present and future health, safety and welfare of all citizens, enhance property values and ensure proper planting and care of trees on public property.” Further, the ordinance would make provisions for removal of diseased trees on private property under certain conditions and provide for a penalty for violations. There were several questions about costs to homeowners, boards involvement, workload on city crews and cost to the city. There will be a meeting on the proposal at 3 p.m. Friday, Jan. 18, at the Courthouse Annex. The ordinance was approved on a first reading. Also at the meeting, Lori Treat gave a dismal report on the status of SNYP Animal Shelter. She has lost a volunteer for illness and Treat will be out for at least four weeks after she has surgery Jan. 23. The shelter is in dire need of help. Treat also reported that a sewer pump had gone out; it was replaced by the city on Jan. 8. Treat said they need a plumber to come by a couple of times and year to check on the pump’s status. She also said the kitchen ceiling is falling through. Some volunteers plan to fix it. In a financial blow, Treat said the local Walmart, which has donated tons of food to the shelter over the years, has been told to sell more and give away less. She said the dogs eat about three bags a week at $22 per bag. That will mean an extra cost of $3,432 per year. On the brighter side, the shelter has sent 19 dogs to rescue groups and have as many as eight puppies going to Chicago soon. In other news, Mayor Richard McCormac said the Water Department will begin placing the automatic meters this spring and should be finished in early 2020. McCormac also reported that Clinton has received a TAP (Transportation Alternatives Program) grant of $54,000 for Clinton School District sidewalk improvements. It is an 80-20 grant and Clinton will use in-kind labor to cover its part. Zoning boss Phillip Ellis reported one new business permit had been issued in the month, and he reminded business owners that this is the month to renew business licenses and pay their voluntary $25 for the license. The police department reported working 18 accidents, and issuing 53 citations and 21 warnings. The City Council meets at 6:30 p.m. every second Thursday at the Clinton Municipal Airport. The meetings are open to the public.

Teen court members decide cases.

South Side students join Teen Court On Monday January 7, 2019, more than high school seniors were sworn in to participate in the Faulkner County Teen Court. For the first time, students from Van Buren County were invited to join the program. Teen Court is a diversion program operated by the Juvenile Court for the 20th Judicial District. Circuit Judge Troy Braswell, who presides over juvenile court and the Teen Court program says: “Teen Court invites High School seniors to serve their community by learning

how to handle real juvenile court cases by serving as a prosecuting attorney, defense attorney, bailiff, court clerk and most importantly a jury. These students will provide at-risk youth with opportunities to get back on the right path.” The objective of Teen Court is reaching at-risk juvenile offenders through accountability. In recent years approximately 85 percent of the juvenile offenders and their families were indigent. Unfortunately, poverty is a risk factor for continued contact with the jus-

tice system. Youth offenders who participate in a teen court process are 20-25 percent less likely to re-offend than those who participate in traditional court. Teen Court was originally started in 2007 by current Arkansas Supreme Court Justice Rhonda Wood. After a twoyear absence, the program was reinstated by Braswell during his first year after election to the Circuit Court bench. Braswell explains that “Juvenile Court cannot be a cookie-cutter approach. Each case is differ-

ent. Each family is different. Our community suffers from a lack of parents and a lack of parenting. We must be willing to engage our community to find new ways to reach our youth. Teen Court was created to serve this need.” “I am excited to offer this program to students in Van Buren County.” Braswell credits South Side Bee Branch Principal Tim Smith for making this a reality. “During a meeting with school leaders, I mentioned my desire to offer more opportunities for Van

Buren County students. Principal Smith jumped at the opportunity and offered to provide transportation and other support for all students in Van Buren County who wanted to join the program.” For 2019, the students from Van Buren County all attend South Side Bee Branch. They are: Whitney Barnum, Kaylee Cossey, Maci Guinn and Kolby Strickland. Teen Court meets every other Monday from January to May. The students will handle approximately 16 cases this year.

A recent sunrise over Clinton makes for a pretty picture.

A Van Buren County deputy was trying to check out a possibly stolen vehicle on Jan. 6 when he discovered illegal drugs in the driver’s pocket, according to an arrest affidavit. Terra Jones, 39, of Shirley told the deputy her mother was always calling in that her vehicle was stolen, the report states. As the deputy was performing a pat down on Jones, he found in a pocket a green leafy substance believed to be marijuana and a crystallized substance believed to be meth, the affidavit states. Jones also was accused of violating an order of protection. When Jones’ mother arrived to pick up her vehicle, Jones began screaming and curs-

Things are looking looking up around here! JR is feeling better and he’s got his appetite back. That is a blessing! For a while he was hardly eating anything. He feels and looks a lot better than when he came home. Thank the Lord for answered prayers. He feels good enough to work on his clocks and watches again. Marva and RG Ward, Sindee Morse, Lauren and Maddox Foster and Kylah Anderson spent the day at the park on Saturday. Ben Foster and David Morse joined them later in the day, so they really made a day of it. Kylah and Maddox are learning to ride their scooters and were also getting some time in on their bikes. They all had a good day. Marva and Sue Stamper went to Greenbrier on Sunday afternoon and had lunch at Arby’s, then they came back to Clinton and went to the Gateway Twin Theatre and watched a movie. Marva cooked a big supper on Tuesday and her guests were Scott Ward, Sue Stamper and her grandson Michael Upchurch and his son, Lathan, who is 1 year old. I talked to Ruth Webb this week, she is doing pretty good. Donna and Richard Sherrod went to Heber Springs to see the trumpeter swans. She said they are pret-

ty birds, but Corky wasn’t too impressed with them! Ha Ha. Faye’s Diamond Mine has registration packets for The Hunger Run, which raises money for the food banks in Van Buren County. Condolences go out to the families who have lost loved ones and get well wishes to those who need them. Until next week, God bless.

January 15, 2019 were buried at the military cemetery in Little Rock. She said her son Ralph had moved into her old Crabtree home site. She’s not been able to visit yet as her daughter Diana, who she now lives with in Conway, has not been feeling well. Opal said her own health was good and mentioned her great aunt who is 103. With related genes like that she thinks she could have a lot of years in front of her still. My few remaining vegetables in the garden (lettuce, Swiss chard, kale, radish) may finally end if the predicted cold front towards the weekend materializes. Thankfully my friend Lalla encouraged me to start seeds indoors and they have started to sprout. We love to see things growing. If you have info about the greater Crabtree and west 16 community, call Jeff Burgess, 745-1249.

The Bookmobile will be at the Tilly store Wednesday at 10:30 a.m. and Zion Hill at 11:30 a.m. It’s the “Super Blood Wolf Moon” Sunday. “Super” because it’s closer than usual. “Blood” due to its coppery red color during total eclipse. And “Wolf” due to Native American lore. Earth’s shadow begins crossing the lunar disk at 9:34 p.m. Totality begins at 10:41 p.m. and lasts for 62 minutes. Let’s hope the weather cooperates as there will not be another total lunar eclipse until May 26, 2021. Archery season for deer continues to February 28. Check the Regs for details. I had a very pleasant talk with former long-time Crabtree correspondent Opal Tester. She has interesting info about the Crabtree area she’s sending by snail mail that will be shared here in the future. We both will miss Verl Jackson who passed recently. His remains

The Mona Lisa Cafe in Shirley was chosen to compete in the food service Hall of Fame. It didn't win but it was an honor to be chosen. The Mona Lisa did us proud. Thelma Murray loves to go there and meet people from all over the U.S.A. Cala Linn spent Christmas week in Tennessee visiting her daughter and her family. A lot of people have been sick and some have had surgery. We hope they all are well soon. The third Friday night singing will be at Settlement Baptist Church. Everyone is invited. There will be food at 6 o'clock and singing at 7. Don Nun-

Some suggestions for your “to do” list for 2019: Think Exercise Clean Walk Save Help Pray Call Sleep Eat Write Cook Sing Run Read Gripe Hunt Listen Invest Travel Mend Try Rejoice Sew Drive Paint Relax Trade Meditate Investigate. The clients coming to the centers to eat are holding pretty steady since the price increase. Cold weather does interfere sometimes. We older folks don’t like to get out when it is cold. Be brave and enjoy a hot meal. The Shirley center is expanding activities. Go see what is going on, you might enjoy. Jessica is cooking in the Shirley kitchen – she will treat you well. I told my doctor I had shingles, and he tried to sell me aluminum siding! I ask my doctor for a second opinion so he billed me twice.

My turn

Tell them before it’s too late By Anita Tucker Voice Editor

This is a cautionary tale. On Page 4 of this week’s Voice you will find my father’s obituary. I knew he was nearing his final days and I planned to visit him on Sunday to tell him a few things I hadn’t told him before. I don’t know if he would have heard me, but I didn’t get the chance anyway. He died Saturday. My dad was not a mushy kind of guy and I always had trouble pouring out my emotions to him. But I was ready and here is what I wanted to say: Daddy, I love you and I am so grateful that you were my father. Even when I was in my terrible teens and twenties, I always knew you and Mama had my back. I knew there was nothing I could do that would make you stop loving me though occasionally I tested you. I never felt unloved and I always knew I could go home any time. You gave a lot of advice and a lot of “I told you so’s” and you never thought I was listening. But I was. Sometimes. Maybe even most of the time. You and Mama gave me courage and

made me believe in myself. I am so grateful to you. Thank you for being the man in my son’s life. I wish you had had more time to teach him, but you helped shape him into the strong, smart, kind young man that he is today. I’m feeling a little lost right now, but I know I can close my eyes and listen hard and I will hear your voice guiding me still. Be at rest, Daddy. You lived your life well. You have all heard the cautionary tale before, but here it is one more time: Tell your loved ones how you feel before time runs out on you.

I wish my mom and dad could have known that I finally became a published writer. But they both passed away before I accomplished that. Mom would have liked for her children to have gone to college. Only one of my brothers and I have some college hours, though neither of us received a degree. To become a writer, I didn’t need a college degree, but I needed the high school education that I received. I graduated from high school on a rainy night in May. I didn’t realize how difficult it was financially for my parents to send us kids to school. My older sisters talked of wearing dresses made from fertilizer sacks, thick heavy sacks, dyed in pretty colors. I recall wearing dresses made from feed or flour sacks. As far as I knew, all the girls, back then, wore

sack dresses. The prints were beautiful. We were stylin’ and nobody can deny that. How different though from the name brand clothes and shoes the kids wear today. How ironic that a pair of jeans today in the hundred dollar price range has holes up and down the front of the legs, high fashion and stylin’, for sure! I remember my hand-me-down coat that had been my older sister’s. Today, people speak of hand-medowns as though they are items to hate. The only thing I didn’t like about the coat was the color. Pale green, but it was warm. That was the important thing. The next year, I got a new long gray coat that lasted through three winters. I remember how hard Dad worked at his carpenter’s job, and how little pay he received. He did not charge as much as he could have.

I remember Dad’s interest in government. He always campaigned for his favorite candidate and he tried to help elect an honest or fair person to the coveted office of county, state and national government. He was proud to know that whatever he owned was something he earned by working. He wore patches on his clothes but he would not wear a patch on the seat of his pants. He said a patch on the seat of someone’s pants made it look as though that person was too lazy to work. How are people taught to want to – and love to – work for their livelihood? My dad was a great example of hard work and honest work in order to provide for his family’s needs. I remember the roses that bloomed so red around the house that Dad built after we children had grown up and left home. I know

that Mama didn’t want the new house as much as she would have wanted it when her seven children were small, but she planted the roses in the new yard anyway. Many of the flowers in our yard came from seed or cuttings given to Dad by people he worked for. He often brought flowers for Mama to plant and she always planted them to make our yard a pretty place. Even though Mom and Dad are gone now, the roses she planted still bloom. They don’t have the care they had when Mama tended them, and the honeysuckle has almost choked out the roses. No one seems to have time for them, as Mama did. I’ll always wish she could have known that I became a writer and that my first published piece was about her. I loved my mama and my dad. And they loved me.

He graduated from South Side High School in 1997. In 2005, he met the love of his life Annalisa and on March 24, 2007 they were married in Clinton. In September of 2009, Wade met the second love of his life, his daughter Adalyn. Wade was a member of First Baptist Church of Damascus and attended Damascus Methodist Church. Wade loved farming and cattle, which led him to work for Southeast Select Sires, a job he loved and worked hard at no matter what was going on. Wade loved the Lord, his family, his friends, and football. It didn’t matter who won, he just wanted to watch a good game. Wade was the strongest and best husband, father, brother, son, uncle, and friend. He is survived by his wife Annalisa Marsden Hall, daughter Adalyn Hall, son Kalyn Clemons, his parents, his brothers Brian (Jennifer) Hall and Neil (Dionna) Hall, granddaughter Chealzea Clemons, and a host of other relatives and friends.

Marion Isabella Donald, 90, of Clinton, Arkansas was born August 25, 1928 to the late William and Alvina (Hildebrandt) Trafford in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada and passed from this life on January 7, 2019 in Clinton. Marion was a proud Canadian citizen until the time of her passing. Marion served as a stenographer for the Canadian government, an administrative assistant for a Christian high school, and an order clerk for Hudson Oxygen. Her passion for her Savior and Lord Jesus Christ expressed itself through music. She was an accomplished accompanist (piano, organ and pipe organ) and played for thousands of church services and special occasions. Marion loved sewing, cross stitching, and puzzle books. Her hands were never still. There are bountiful fond memories with her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She began college at Northwestern, where she met her husband, Conrad ''C.C.''

AGFC trucks have stepped up to haul the trout to longer destinations to help out their federal partners during their time of need. Christy Graham,

trout management supervisor for the AGFC, says the hatcheries work together on many projects, helping each other out whenever they can.

Interim chancellor selected University of Arkansas System President Dr. Donald R. Bobbitt has named Diana Arn interim chancellor of the University of Arkansas Community College at Morrilton. Arn, currently the vice chancellor for academic services, will take over for Dr. Larry Davis, upon his retirement effective January 31. “As UACCM prepares to embark on the search for a new chancellor, the faculty and staff at UACCM will continue their high standard of service,” Arn said. “Our spring semester is scheduled to begin January 14, and we are busy enrolling students in credit classes that will lead to skills used to join the workforce upon graduation or skills needed to transfer to a four-year institution and be successful.” Arn enters the role with 32 years of experience at UACCM. A U.S. Army veteran,

she joined the college in 1987 as a business education instructor. In 2002, she became division chair of humanities, social sciences, and mathematics, then was vice chancellor starting in 2008. She also has notable experience sitting on committees. Since 2008, she has sat on the Arkansas Rural Nursing Education Consortium Board, including presiding as chair on three separate occasions, and has served on the Arkansas Community Colleges Board. She received her M.S.E. in Business Education at the University of Central Arkansas. Prior to that, she earned a bachelor’s degree at Harding University and an associate’s degree at Arkansas State University-Beebe. As a graduate of a two-year college, she expressed what UACCM is offering to the community in addition to its for-credit academic and career

New outdoors skills program By Arkansas Game and Fish

Outdoors enthusiasts are known to wear their hearts on their sleeves, now they may have a little extra badge of honor to display their passion. The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission’s new Outdoors Skills Program rewards beginning and veteran hunters and anglers with a special patch for their accomplishments in the outdoors. The outline of the program is simple. When a person attends one of many workshops the AGFC’s Education Division provides, they become eligible to receive an attractive patch to place on their favorite piece of outdoors clothing. The initial patch labels them a beginner in one of 10 outdoor disciplines. From there, participants can complete different tasks for each discipline to “level up” through intermediate, advanced and expert rankings, each with its own rocker to accompany the initial patch. Patch categories include archery, conservation leadership, fishing, game-calling, hunting, paddle sports, rifle marksmanship, shotgun marksmanship, trapping and watchable wildlife. Some of the categories crossover and lead into others, while some are independent of the rest. Eric Maynard, AGFC assistant chief of education, says the new program will be available through all AGFC education centers, nature centers and regional educators this year. “I’ve been thinking about doing this for a few years,” Maynard said. “Obviously there

are scouting programs that have patches, but I really modeled this after the National Rifle Association’s Winchester Marksmanship Program, which has been around for 50 years and focuses on shooting sports.” Maynard says the AGFC devotes a lot of time and effort into reaching out to introduce the outdoors to youths and newcomers, and the numbers are impressive. According to the Arkansas Department of Education, Arkansas had 478,318 students enrolled in public schools from Kindergarten through high school in 2018. During Fiscal Year 2018, the AGFC’s Education Division held 1,900 programs at nature centers and another 900 programs within the schools to reach out to just under 199,000 participants. “Some of those participants may be repeats from multiple trips,” Maynard said. “But this only counts the formal workshops and not the thousands of spur-of-the-moment visits we get from individuals or small groups.” Although the AGFC does an excellent job of giving people a taste of the outdoors through fishing derbies, workshops and classroom visits to schools, Maynard says there’s a need to bridge the gap between the first exposure and creating a passion for the outdoors. “Our traditional programs are great at getting people’s attention and introducing them to the outdoors,” Maynard said. “But we can only give you the basic tools and knowledge, then cross

our fingers and hope you take what you’ve learned and apply it. The new program gives some incentive to get to the next step.” The concept falls right in line with the many efforts by educators across the nation to recruit new hunters and anglers. According to Matt Dunfee, director of special programs for the Wildlife Management Institute, repeated exposures to a pursuit are essential in having a prospective outdoors enthusiast move from their first trial to adoption of the pursuit without further support. If a person decides they want to move forward with an outdoors pursuit, they likely will need to learn an entirely new set of skills and gather the needed equipment to do so. Otherwise they may see the workshop as a nice one-time adventure and never really adopt the outdoors pursuit on their own. “The requirements to get your next patch aren’t just a goal, but are a blueprint in what you need to learn more about that particular outdoor activity, Maynard said. The Outdoors Skills Program also gives parents and other mentors an opportunity to foster a love of the outdoors and spend time with budding conservationists, even if they are new to the pursuit themselves. “I used the NRA’s program when I was working with my own son on shooting sports to introduce him and keep his enthusiasm high,” Maynard said.

Fishing Report

The Spring River is producing, even though water conditions are shaky. Photo provided by Mark Crawford of Spring River Guide Service.

Northwest Arkansas

Spring River

(updated 1-92019) Mark Crawford with springriverfliesandguides.com (870955-8300) said water levels are running at 400 cfs (350 average) and water clarity has been poor. Lot of rain last week has the river up a bit and poor clarity. Will clear quickly due to being spring-fed. Should be back to normal by the weekend. Woolly worms with orange and red tails are working well. During hatches, size 10 nymphs work great. Pheasant tails/hares ears. Hot pink and orange Trout Magnets are working well for spin fishers. Be extra careful wading with the higher river flow.

Beaver Tailwaters

(updated 1-92019) Guide Austin Kennedy (479-2440039) says, “Well, I hope you all had a happy holiday! With the little warm trend we had this week, I was able to get out and do a little fishing.

One thing I was happy to see, is water in the tailwaters! The rain we got over the past week, has really helped out a lot. Now how about those fish!” Trout have been hitting on just about everything, PowerBaits, jigs and spoons. I would say the PowerBaits, fished with light terminal tackle has produced the best bite. The hot spot has been between Highway 62 bridge and Spider Creek. “I did get out toward Holiday Island and got into some Kentuckies and smallmouth. Both seemed to be in deeper water and hit on suspended soft plastics. I look forward to spring fishing for walleye and whites. We do not have too much further to go and they will be here.”

Central Arkansas

Little Red River

(updated 1-92019) Lowell Myers of Sore Lip’em All Guide Service said the Corps of Engineers has been releasing significant amounts of

water daily from the Greers Ferry Lake to maintain the lake level at top pool level. Generation often changes from published schedule, so it’s best to check both scheduled generation and current water-release information to determine if the river level is safe for fishing the Little Red. For fly-fishing, Lowell recommends egg patterns, San Juan worms and streamers during high water conditions, and midges, soft hackles, sowbugs and streamers during normal water conditions. Hot pink, cotton candy and white 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 (501-362-5150) for Greers Ferry Dam water release.

Greers Ferry Lake

As of Wednesday, the Army Corps of Engineers reports

the lake’s elevation at 462.04 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 1-92019) Tommy Cauley of Fishfinder Guide Service (501-9401318) said the water level at Greers Ferry Lake is at 462.95 feet msl and falling with generation. It is 0.91 feet above normal pool of 462.04 feet msl and, with the ground so full of water, generation will have to continue to keep lake at normal pool. Crappie catching is still good all around the lake in certain spots with minnows and or jigs fished in 15-30 feet of water. No report on catfish. Black bass are being caught all over the lake from super shallow out to 60-70 feet of water; try dragging something or catch them suspended or right up on the bank with a blade. No report on bream. Hybrid and white bass are eating well all over the lake and rivers. Stay around the shad and the fish will be close, of course, using hair jigs, inline spinners, swimbaits and even some topwater baits. Spoons work great on sunny days; concentrate on 25-70 feet. Some walleye are roaming around with other species. Concentrations are preparing for the river spawn. Look in historic area for them to be piled up and use a jighead with a minnow, or a crankbait.

said weather and river flow have kept even the commercial anglers off the river. Few people who are trying to fish have been below the dams. Please remember: 70,000 cfs brings small boat warnings. Catfish are going to deep holes. Use shad-worm combo. Fishing is fair below the dams with the same approach. No reports on black bass. White bass are being caught below the dams; use spoons. Crappie are being caught below the dams in backwater 8-15 feet deep. Use jigs. No reports on bream. For sauger, use speck rigs in chartreuse and yellow.

North Arkansas

White River

(updated 1-92019) Cotter Trout Dock (870-435-6525) says, “Welcome to 2019! Mild January temperatures see White River fishers in shirt sleeves and sunscreen. Might not stay that warm, so come prepared for a change in the thermometer, but the rainbow trout catch remains steady, the brown bite rising.” Bull Shoals Lake has risen several feet over the last two weeks, so they are experiencing significant releases from the dam. That means you need to be prepared with weighted line with heavier, sinking stickbaits and/ or sinkers that keep you close to the bottom (can mean 8 feet at least during heavier releases). Cast nearer the shoreline and let your bait drift back to you with a slightly taut line. High water is a challenge but the catch is usually a higher quality. Roost-

er Tails, gold blades, orange bodies; the browns are beginning to move back to their home bases and looking for fresh sculpins. “Time to plan the new year's fishing excursions; that might include checking off a bucket list item. We can help.”

Norfork Lake

Norfork Lake has risen about 3 feet since his last report and currently sits at 556.34 feet msl, which is less than 3 feet over the normal seasonal pool. The main lake is clear. Some coves and back in the creeks are stained. The water temperature Tuesday morning at 7:30 a.m. was 48 degrees and by the time he headed back to the dock it was slightly over 49 degrees. The lake is in great shape and the fishing is looking to be a lot of fun, Lou says.

Buffalo National River/Crooked Creek

(updated 1-92019) John Berry of Berry Brothers Guide Service in Cotter (870435-2169) said the Buffalo National River and Crooked Creek are high and off-color, and the White River below these streams is high and off-color, also. The smallmouths are much less active with the cold conditions. John’s favorite fly is a Clouser minnow. Carefully check the water level before entering Crooked Creek or the Buffalo River. There are no dams on these streams. They both have large drainages and are prone to flooding during and following any rain event. The water can rise very quickly.
