Pursuit leads to arrest of driver Damascus Police and an Arkansas State trooper pursued a vehicle after a report that the silver Toyota 4Runner had almost hit a pedestrian on Highway 124 and nearly hit another vehicle head-on, according to an affidavit for arrest. The pursuit led to Highway 65 in Bee Branch where
the suspect headed north, the affidavit stated. Traffic was moderate to heavy as the pursuit moved through Bee Branch, the document states. The vehicle traveled about a mile north of Bee Branch and began to turn around to head south, the report stated. As the 4Runner began to turn around, it almost hit a
deputy head-on, the report stated. The vehicle then traveled back through Bee Branch and turned on Highway 92 East, weaving in and out of the eastbound lane to Highway 356, according to the document. After several attempts to box the vehicle in or to “pit” the vehicle into a ditch,
the 4Runner drove out of the ditch and hit a Damascus officer’s vehicle head-on, the report states. The officer suffered an injury to his shoulder, the affidavit stated. The suspect then traveled through a driveway and resident’s yard and fence and fled down Long Lane back toward Highway 92 East.
The vehicle was finally stopped on 92 East and the state trooper held the suspect at gunpoint and busted out a window to pull him out of the vehicle, the report states. Once detained, the suspect refused to identify himself. He later was identified as Jacky Lemley and was taken to Ozark Health for treatment
of a possible heart attack, the affidavit states. Jacky Lemley, 43, of Heber Springs has been charged with misdemeanor reckless driving; fleeing, a D felony; two counts of aggravated assault on a certified law enforcement officer, a Class D felony; and resisting arrest, a misdemeanor.

Order allows mandated masks Gov. Asa Hutchinson signed an executive order last week that allows cities to mandate masks to slow the spread of Covid-19. The model order, drafted by the Arkansas Municipal League, will provide a consistent approach for cities to slow the spread of the virus, the governor said in a news conference
on Friday. John Wilkerson, General Counsel for the Municipal League, said there are no enforcement measures included in the order. Little Rock and Fayetteville passed ordinances last month that require people to wear masks in public. Before Friday, the city mandates weren’t supported by the state.
On Friday, Little Rock Mayor Frank Scott said he was thankful for the new Hutchinson said on Friday that 82% of Arkansans said they are already wearing PPE in public, according to a recent survey conducted by the state. Arkansas reported 547 new cases of Covid-19 on Friday; 605 cases were reported Sunday.
Two more people had died from the virus and 13 more people were hospitalized. On Thursday, Arkansas had the largest single-day increase in cases the state has seen. On Friday, there had been 22,622 cases of coronavirus in the state; 16,164 people had recovered from the virus and 281 people had died.
An inmate’s request to use the bathroom led to a brawl with correctional officers at the Van Buren County Detention Center, according to an affidavit. Emily Barnhouse tried to get out a side door at the jail and began to physically resist jailer Cassady Davis, according to the court document. Jailer Casey Simonton came to help and Barnhouse grabbed a fistful of Simonton’s hair, the report states. At some point, Barnhouse managed to get the jail keys and struck jailer Jordan Richardson on the hand with them, the document stated before the corrections officers subdued her. Barnhouse, 24, of Marshall has been charged with battery II, a Class D felony. The incident occurred June 27.
Police say man pulled gun
“You have five seconds to run,” three teen-age boys reported to Fairfield Bay Police that they were ordered when passing a driveway on Lynn Creek Drive. The boys said they were walking home after swimming at the lake on June 1 when they heard what they believed to be a gun
Barnhouse cocked, according to an affidavit for arrest. Two of the boys said they did not actually see a gun but the third boy said he saw a black pistol being pointed at him and heard a woman say, “Just put your hands up,” according to the report. He said he kept walking, then heard the man say he was “sorry and shouldn’t have done that.” Fairfield Bay Police obtained a warrant on June 5 to search the residence where they found a pistol matching the boy’s description as well as an “illegal marijuana home grow” and several other items. The 20th Judicial District Drug task force also responded to the scene. Eric Peter Tornblom, 51, has been charged with terroristic threatening-first degree, a Class D felony, See Arrests on page 2
Stars and Stripes serves valuable role By U.S. Sen. John Boozman
For several years now, my office has made a concerted effort to capture and preserve the memories of Arkansas’s war veterans for inclusion in the Library of Congress’s Veteran History Project (VHP). Not only is it a great way to honor their service and commitment to our country, but it is a valuable
educational tool for future generations. We can learn a great deal about what life in a war zone is like through the stories collected by the VHP, and those stories can inform the decisions we make for the future. Here’s a perfect example. My office had the honor of interviewing Lt. Col. (retired) Karen King-Johnson of Hot Springs about her
service in Vietnam. As the Command Information Officer for the U.S. Army in Vietnam, her role included making sure that every unit received news material, including a copy of Stars & Stripes. Stars and Stripes, the newspaper written for America’s servicemembers about the military community in which they serve, dates back to the Civil
War. It is a main source of news for the men and women of our Armed Forces who are serving overseas. Throughout its storied history, the newspaper has relayed vital information, provided much-needed morale boosts and offered a connection to home for our deployed serSee Boozman on page 2

Master Gardeners choose 2 yards The Van Buren County Master Gardeners have awarded recognition to two residences for its July "We Noticed" program. The first is Mary Martin. She lives in Shirley, off of Highway 330. She has been working on her garden for 30 years. It is reminiscent of an old English garden with different plots and different flowers. She has incorporated various garden art amidst the landscaping. The fairy
garden on a tree stump is an ingenious way of making use of something that could otherwise be unsightly. She has plenty of places to sit and enjoy the day, as well as a little dining area for afternoon tea. She is part of the garden club. The second recipient is Krystil Snowden, pictured with her son. She and her family recently refurbished an older home on Highway 65 in Clinton. The Southern Belle is a
community business that holds a beauty salon, massage therapy and a boutique. Her husband, Jason, remodeled the house last year and Krystil moved her business into the house in December. Krystil remembered how beautiful the yard was when she was a child and wanted to restore it. Since her store was closed because of Covid-19, they decided it was the best time to make it happen.

Visiting DeLane Story this week were her nieces from Georgia, Penny McGee, Faith and Seth McGee and Teresa Wilson, Brianna and her daughter, Paige. Bruce Williams of Cabot also came to visit. They all went to Gilbert for a float trip on the Buffalo river. They spent the night at Gilbert and reported a good time was had by all. DeLane is looking forward to a visit from her son and daughterin-law, David and Pinyan Story of Rocky Mount, Virginia. Anne Mann has been getting acquainted with her new great-granddaughter, Sadie Blair Guerrieri. Anne says she is a little doll. After seeing
her picture, I must say I agree with her. Donna and Richard are doing well. They reported a dull week. I have enjoyed this week. Bill came to work on the cellar on Monday. Margie Beckham came over with him and we cooked him a birthday dinner. We had fresh green beans with new potatoes, fried squash, cucumbers and onions and corn bread. It was good. I also baked a cake to celebrate his birthday. Thelma Murray came on Wednesday and brought some zucchini. I am planning on making some pickles and zucchini bread. Margie Pounds had company last Saturday. Her son-in-law, Earnie Hennington of Hamburg, grandson, Kyle Hennington and his son Logan, of Greenwood and grandson Caleb, of Little Rock. They built her a banister for her front porch. She is proud of it. That's about it for this week. Take care and God bless all.
I hope the fireworks at Alread School went off with a bang and without a drop of rain. Because of the virus, I think I will stay home and see if I can see them from home. We usually go and enjoy seeing everyone and to watch the beautiful fireworks. The best I have seen anywhere. The Scotland Community Center is having a great turnout for lunch and they are getting several that drop by and pick their lunch up and take it home. We are glad to see all of the community support. We will have to wait a little longer to see when we will open our First Saturday Breakfast. We do not want to open too soon so we will wait until we feel that it is safe to do so. We will let you know soon. If you have news for the paper please call 592-2935 and we will get it in for you. Stay safe and cool and enjoy.

Algae advisory lifted Randy Zellers teria, which causes the Arkansas Game & Fish toxin during seasonal
A health advisory warning against swimming in and allowing pets and livestock to drink from Lake Overcup near Morrilton has been lifted, according to biologists with the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission. The harmful algae bloom advisory was issued in late May after tests in some portions of the lake showed high levels of cyanotoxins. Recent tests confirmed this toxin level has dissipated and the advisory has been lifted. Matt Schroeder, fisheries management biologist for the AGFC, says the advisory may have confused some anglers who became concerned about any health effects of eating fish from Overcup. “We saw a dramatic decrease in the number of anglers at the lake since the advisory was issued,” Schroeder said. “But even when a lake has a harmful algae bloom advisory, fishing and eating properly cooked fish from the lake is safe. The toxins are more of an issue for swimmers, paddlers and people’s pets and livestock that may drink from the water directly.” Schroeder explained that cyanobac-
blooms in some fisheries, is a natural component in nearly all lakes and rarely causes any issues unless the right conditions are met. “We just want to make sure the public is informed of the toxin and know how to enjoy the lake without avoiding fishing altogether,” Schroeder said. “In the future, anglers likely will see more of these harmful algae bloom advisories from the AGFC on the lakes we own, as

they are very fertile waters. We just need to keep people informed about any temporary issues as they happen. If you avoid swimming, prolonged exposure to the water itself and don’t allow pets or livestock to drink the water or eat raw parts of fish
from the water during these advisories, the risk of having any problems from cyanotoxins is extremely small.”

Fishing Report
Is the fishing good?
Central Arkansas
Little Red River
(updated 7-1-2020) Greg Seaton of littleredflyfishingtrips. com (501-690-9166) said the Army Corps of Engineers informed him Wednesday morning that starting Wednesday they would be running two generators beginning with a 16-hour schedule and increasing the hours of generation as levels permit until they reach a 24/7 schedule over the weekend. The lake level is 465.99 feet msl, and high levels of generation will continue until the lake drops to a normal level of 462.5 feet msl, which will take at least 10-12 days depending on any additional rainfall in the area. Because this will include the Fourth of July weekend, please use caution if you are planning a holiday trip on the river. Any pleasure kayaking or canoe trips would be better planned for the lake rather than the river. The combination of cold water and fast current makes the river dangerous. Check the daily generation forecast before planning
your trip. ‘The river will be returning to normal soon with good fishing and boating, so please exercise good judgment and respect the river. Be safe and have a Happy Fourth of July,” Greg says.
Greers Ferry Lake
As of Wednesday, the Army Corps of Engineers reports the lake’s elevation at 465.83 feet msl (normal conservation pool: 462.54 feet msl). (updated 7-1-2020) Tommy Cauley of Fishfinder Guide Service (501-940-1318) said the water level at Greers Ferry Lake is at the water level at Greers Ferry Lake is at 466.11 feet msl and falling with generation; it is 3.57 feet above normal pool of 462.54 feet msl. Crappie are eating well on minnows and jigs in pole timber, brushpiles or manmade structure in 10-25 feet, according to weather conditions. Hybrid bass and white bass are chewing well on and off all day and night; use live bait, spoons, inline spinners, swimbaits and topwater baits in 15-40 feet of water. Bream are biting worms and crickets all over lake. Catfish
are no trouble to catch all over lake and rivers on a variety of baits, rod and reel, jugs, trotlines. Walleye are eating if you can find them, and then you can catch some in 15-28 feet on crawlers rigged various ways. Some black bass are set up; the deep water temp has not gotten hot enough yet for all of them to be out. Some are super shallow, and a list of baits and ways to do it from A-Z will work at some point throughout the day or night.
Arkansas River at Morrilton
(updated 7-1-2020) Charlie Hoke at Charlie's Hidden Harbor at Oppelo (501-354-8080) had big news about the catfishing in the river recently, with good flatheads being caught anywhere from 10-25 feet deep. “They are drift-fishing for catfishing … a lot of the catching is when they’re floating by the tip of the jetties and when they’re floating on the upstream side of the jetties. “I haven’t seen catfish caught like this in 3-4 years. Of course, the river has been up until now.”
Charlie says numbers of anglers in his area have improved recently, particularly with the river dropping some. “Now, the river is nice, calm, the flows are good. It’s getting in the summer months, and we see mornings where the water is down, not much generating at the power stations, and then it starts building up in the mornings. I like it when the flows are between 40,000 and 70,000 cfs.” The jetty tips have been good for bream and bass, he says, but where there is grass nearby the bass are moving toward the grass lines. White bass are “basically on the jetty tips” as well. Anglers are using anything from redworms to chartreuse and Firetiger crankbaits and doing “fairly well on that. When the water is starting to clear, they’ll probably have to go to pearl or white colors and they’ll be doing pretty good.” Anglers are also getting a few white bass now below the dam, catching those on crankbaits. “Then you go up the Petit Jean River, and I had a man who caught some big crappie, not a lot, but some big crappie on live minnows,” he notes. Bream are starting to move around a lot and are good now where water is coming up to the grass lines, and it’s good for the bass too. The bream are running the edges and biting crickets. But it’s the catfish that have him pumped up. “The catfish are just going nuts. We’ve had some 40-pounders caught.” Charlie urges people who stop on the river islands to be aware

of the lease turns that are now in the islands now and to be careful where they stop. “I’m told they have chicks on just about every island, so be careful where you step if you’re going to get on an island.”
