Man charged in sex assault
A 34-year-old Clinton man has been charged with sexual assault in the fourth degree that resulted in the birth of a baby in February 2019, according to an affidavit for arrest. The baby’s mother was 15 at the time of the birth, the document states. The 15-year-old told authorities she was taken advantage of while she was drunk at a party and repeatedly said she did not know who the baby’s father was, the affidavit states. The story came to light when Clinton Police began an investigation into the shooting of Kevin Justin Chapman in June. Chapman was shot in the face but is recovering. On June 19, 2020, during an interview

Farm family named The James Reed family of Culpepper Cattle Co. has been named Van Buren County’s Farm Family of the Year. James Reed, 47, is continuing the cattle operation started by his great-grandfather, Marion Alva Reed. Reed also runs a construction company and was a member of the Van Buren County Quorum Court from 2012-16. He graduated from Clinton High School in
1991. His wife, Crystal, 44, also works for an insurance company. They have been married since 2009. The farm sells hay, timber and cattle on 959 acres. The family also includes Tanner Smith, 18, Cawl Pepper Reed, 8, Riggin Boone Reed, 6, and the late Dallie Gayle Reed, who would have been 10 this year. James inherited the farm from his par-
ents, Richard and Dee Reed who still live on the land, and his grandfather Richard Thomas Reed. The farm keeps about 400 to 500 head of stocker cattle, sending them to Guymon, Oklahoma, when they are ready to finish out. They also raise 160 head of cow-calf pairs, which are mostly sold at local sale barns.
Scam alert
There is a new scam going around in which people are called and told they have been identified as a close contact to a Covid positive patient and that must be tested. The scammer will then try to sell the individual a Covid-19 test for which they will need your credit card number. Do not provide any personal information to such a caller.
Masks in Clinton
Regarding masks, Clinton Police Chief
John Willoughby issued this statement late last week: “I have a small department and we will not be the mask police. If a business requires you to wear a mask please do so. Please do not cause a scene in our business establishments. The employees of the establishments are only doing their jobs, please be courteous. In my opinion, I don’t know if masks help at all, I really don’t think anyone knows for sure, but I think we all should try to
do our part and keep our numbers low. We have been doing pretty good so far. Please be nice to each other in this trying time.” In surrounding counties, Stone has 12 active positive, 40 total positive and 1 death; Conway County has 20 active positive, 119 total positive, and 3 deaths; Cleburne has 24 active positive: 167 total positive and 5 deaths; Faulkner County has 186 active positive, 1,013 total positive and four deaths.

Toss hat in ring now if you’re going to Opinion My Turn By Anita Tucker Voice Editor
Are you happy with your City Council representation? Do you feel your concerns are being addressed? If so, all you need to do is vote. If you’re not, if you would like a chance to represent your area of the city to help make the decisions that affect everything from how tall the grass can be to where you can
park your car, this is the week to take the plunge. The filing period to run for office begins July 29, 2020 at noon. Candidates can pick up a packet at the Voter Registration Office at the Courthouse Annex in Clinton. They have until noon Aug. 5, 2020, to turn in petitions signed by no fewer than 10 electors of the ward or city if they run at-large. All signatures must be within the city limits. Candidates must file a petition, political practice pledge, and
an affidavit of eligibility during the one-week filing period. The current pay is $353 per month. There is no extra pay for workshops or special meetings. Park Fest didn’t draw many folks to Archey Park last weekend. It was hot and coronavirus fears linger, and I’m not sure the monthly event has gotten back on track since it started again. But there was a very important vendor in the park that day the newly formed Van
Buren County Humane Society. The group was officially formed in April 2020 and its ultimate goal is to stop shipping dogs north and find ways to keep them here, healthy and well cared for, according to its website. Currently, when a “rescue” takes the dogs, Van Buren County residents subsidize the cost, which is about $160 per animal. The shelter is reimbursed a fraction of that cost when the dog is sold for several hundred dollars in Massa-
chusetts, Pennsylvania and other northern states. This doesn’t make good financial sense for us, but would seem to line the pockets of the “rescues.” And one shelter owner says he also must be careful that the place where the dog is sent doesn’t euthanize if no one buys the animal. Since May, the Humane Society has paid to spay three dogs and three cats and neutered three cats for five different owners, the website says. If an owner can donate

Dear Editor: The National Championship Chuckwagon Race organizers are pushing to hold the annual races August 29 through September 6. They have not yet received approval from the state. If they do get that approval, thousands from all over the United States, will be descending on Van Buren County, which has had low numbers of Covid-19 cases. Considering the governor has issued an executive order requiring face coverings, which he resisted until it became apparent the virus was spreading rapidly in the state; considering the president, a face mask resister, has recently starting wearing a face covering and had said the worst is yet to come; considering the organizers of the VBC County Fair and Arkansas State Fair have canceled their events this year due to increasing pandemic spread; then, how can the Chuckwagon Races be in the best interests of our county? How many of these visitors will be coming from parts of the country where the Coronavirus is spreading like wildfire? How many will have the virus but no
symptoms? How many will refuse to wear a face mask? How many will be “super spreaders”? How many thousands of contacts will there be between these visitors and local residents, making contract tracing an impossible task? If the races are held, let us not forget, when virus cases surge here in October, who it was that said, “Don’t worry, we’ve got everything under control.” Also don’t forget those who said nothing, did nothing, and let this avoidable tragedy move forward.
some money toward the surgeries, they are encouraged to, but otherwise the Humane Society picks up the tab. We need to keep our animals here, neutered, spayed and healthy and not running around have more and more babies. In short, we need this to work and if you can help, please do. Donations may be sent to VBCHS c/o Monica Potts, P.O. Box 479, Clinton AR 72031 or vbchumanesociety@gmail.com at Paypal. The organizers of this event have a choice between doing what’s in the real best interest of our community, or holding an event that puts a dollar value on human life. It won’t just be people in other places dying, it’ll be our friends, our neighbors and our family members. Heroes or villains, which will it be? Jeff Burgess Crabtree

Marva and RG Ward went to Little Red River near Scotland to spend some time with Frankie, Erica and their boys. They were camping there all of last week. They fished, swam and kayaked. That sounds like a refreshing good time. Thelma Murray and I had a good day on Friday. We went to Marshall to get some items she needed for her pressure canner. We went to Daniel's hardware store and they had everything she was looking for. I found some wicks for my kerosene lamp and also a cotton string mop head. I love them and mine is just about worn out. We went to the cemetery and did some weed eating. It was too hot to do very much. We went to Dai-
sy Queen pizza burger for lunch. Thelma had never had one and it had been 20 years or so since I had one. We went to Backbone Mountain rest area and ate them while we took in the view. They were very good. Donna and Richard Sherrod and Ann Mann went to Mountain View on Friday. They went to JoJo's for lunch, then found a peddler and got some corn and peaches. Donna said they were very good. Richard had lab work at Conway on Wednesday, so they came by Wagon Wheel and had breakfast. Donna said everyone was social distancing and wearing masks, so it was working out pretty good for now. DeLane Story had a nice surprise in her mailbox this week. Her daughter-in-law, Pinyan Story, sent her a pretty dress. Samantha and Eric Khrammer of Beebe came to visit her grandmother, Sammy Story, this week. Sammy enjoyed the visit. She said they are planning on moving back to Clinton soon. Margie Pounds had visitors last Sunday. Her daughter and
son-in-law, Jacque and Earnie Hennington of Hamburg came by for a short visit and brought her several varieties of tomatoes and yellow squash and zucchini. I got an inch and a quarter of rain on Wednesday and Thursday. I sure was proud of it, my garden was getting thirsty. My nephew came and helped me fix a ladder across the garden for my beans to climb on. We drove down post and tied string across it about 4 rows high. I think it will work fine. May God bless all with a good week.

From there they decided to go on to Calico Rock then they decided to go on to Lead Hill. So after a nice long scenic drive through the forest, when they came to a town they discovered they were back in Mountain View. Sherman and Hazel Murray of Greenbrier came by Sunday afternoon after they had visited with her brother, Larry Duncan at Ozark Health Nursing Home. We had a nice yard visit. I showed Hazel my garden. It was a surprise to me Monday how many people were wearing muzzles instead of mask. A muzzle covers the mouth and a mask covers the mouth and nose. Wanda Poynor had carpal tunnel surgery on Tuesday at Mountain View. Tawana Rolen had surgery on Tuesday in Conway and came home on Wednesday feeling a lot better.
Bramlett Carlton came by on Wednesday and while I was picking her some jalapeno peppers, I discovered a bell pepper growing among the jalapenos on the same plant. Keneth Dale Williams, who is a resident at Indian Rock Village, didn't get to have eye surgery because of possible heart problems. he is supposed to get that checked out next week.

The full moon is official Monday at 10:58 a.m. The August full moon has often been called Sturgeon Moon, but also Barley Moon, Grain Moon and Fruit Moon. “Unsung Heroes of the Community” will be a new feature here, from time to time, and will highlight persons who selflessly, for little or no money, are making big time contributions to their community. Our first “hero” is Eunice Lemings, who for years has worked tirelessly on behalf of seniors and her church. One of her more recent undertakings has been organizing the rehabilitation of the Crowell Mountain Cemetery. She has done exhaustive research to identify 36 persons in unmarked graves and is ready to order markers. You can support her efforts by writing a check made out to “Crowell Mt. Cemetery” and send to: Eunice Lemings, 788 Denton Road, Clinton, AR 72031. Eunice, we salute you! If you have information about the greater Crabtree and west 16 community, or would like to make a suggestion for an “unsung hero,” call or text Jeff Burgess, 745-1249.

The summer sun is beating down, but there are still plenty of ways to enjoy the outdoors without working up too much of a sweat.

Camp Robinson Firing Range in Mayflower boasts one of the best experiences for beginning archers as well as those who are more advanced in the sport. Grant Tomlin, assistant chief of the AGFC Education Division says the free range is very popular with people and sees a lot of return customers. “It’s completely free, we just ask people to come to the clubhouse and check-in so we know someone’s using it,” Tomlin said. “We re-
ed experience with the range without a ton of walking between targets so people could focus on shooting.” Three lanes of bag targets at known distances let archers sight in bows and practice their skills with standard bullseye-style shooting, but the real treat is the impressive 20-target 3D archery course right next to the range clubhouse. Aspiring bowhunters can take aim at a variety of targets from turkey and furbearers to a life-sized moose and

A good road with just a ten per cent grade has just been completed at the farm. “There are about 80,000 Elberta peach trees in shipping distance of Leslie. Apple
trees oftentimes yield 5 to 10 bushels to the tree: pear trees 2 to 6 bushels: peach trees 2 to 6 bushel to the tree and you can readily see from the number of trees and plants, that on an investment of $500,000 we could expect 50,000 to 75,000 bushels of apples: 20,000 to 30,000 bushels of peaches and they could sell at from $1 to $2 per bushel, a net profit of $100,000 is not unreasonable to expect. “The climate, soil and all combined con-
ditions are highly favorable to hog and poultry raising. With hogs selling at 20 cents per pound in Chicago and eggs at 50 cents per dozen it is not an over estimation to say that the profits of this farm can be increased 25 per cent by a little attention to these side lines. “The world must be fed and Arkansas is going to do her bit."

Gardener’s abundance of produce a blessing by Jeff Burgess notable failures with this and make deliveries us-
One summer, about this time, I went to visit Lalla. I found her in her garden, humming a happy tune, filling her giant harvest bowl with tomatoes. As she turned and saw me, she smiled and said, “Hi Jeff. Would you please bring me that 5 gallon bucket there, outside the fence?” She pointed. “Sure Lalla,” I said as I brought it to her. “Golly! You’re bowl is overflowing and you have more tomatoes to pick. I guess there’s a lot of canning ahead for you.” “I don’t think so. I’ve already got two cases of quarts put up, maybe more later,” she said. Trying to be helpful I said, “Do you want me to sell these tomatoes for you?” “Now why would I want to do that,” she asked? “To make some extra money,” I suggested. “I really have enough for everything I need and want,” she said. “Growing up poor helps me to see how really well off I am now. No, I think these will be blessings tomatoes.” Perplexed, I asked, “Blessings tomatoes?” “When I was growing up, Moma would always share what little we had with anyone who came to visit, whether it be neighbors, family or even sometimes strangers. I would complain that that meant less for us. She would say ‘Lalla Lee be generous! These visitors maybe blessings sent to us by God.’ That always shut me up. The idea that God would send blessings to us, in the form of people, seemed strange at the time but I decided Moma might be right, so we probably shouldn’t take any chances.” I laughed and said, “Well I like your story, Lalla, but what does that have to do with tomatoes?” Her brow knitted as she continued, “Some of those visitors didn’t seem like blessings to me so I decided that when I grew up I would try to be a blessing to as many people as possible. Now I’ve had some
but it has been a guiding light for me much of my life. That’s why I give away all my knowledge about healthy living and organic gardening for free. But one of my most joyous givings comes from the blessings of God as they manifest through Mother Nature’s miraculous process of creation.” “Ok, I think I see what you mean, Lalla. Your garden produce is a way to pass the blessings cycle along to others.” She seemed delighted. “Oh yes! You’ve got it!” “Lalla, now you’ve got me thinking of my Grandma Violett. She would give away cuttings, starts and bulbs from her flower gardens and whenever she was offered money she refused it. When I asked her about it, she’d say, ‘They’re God’s, I’m just a caretaker. I’m passing along his gifts.’ That sort of sounds like what you’re saying.” Her smile seemed as bright as the sun at that moment, as she quietly said, “ I think I would have liked your Grandma Violett.” I’m amazed at the number of caring and influential women I’ve been privileged to get to know over my lifetime. The most memorable have been givers concerned more for the welfare of others than themselves. People who have made a difference in the quality of life for so many, and extended truth rather than multiplying the illusions of the world. They have contributed largely to the decisions I make. This past winter, when Clinton’s Extension Homemakers Club, of which I’m a member, suggested we could do something for food insecurity in the county, it sounded like a perfect match. Thanks to the generosity of the Van Buren County Health Department’s offer of space in their community garden, Clinton EHC has been providing fresh produce to the less fortunate for a couple of months now. Since we rotate duties in the garden so that only one person is there at a time, wash our hands and produce
ing face coverings, we have stayed actively and vitally involved in our community with low risk of spreading the coronavirus. In spite of the pandemic, there are still numerous opportunities for public service. Lalla and Violett would be proud. I’ve strayed a bit far afield in this month’s column, so let me finish with a couple of important gardening points for this time of year. The first being water. We often have dry spells here in the summer, even what could be called droughts. We’ve been pretty much spared that so far this year, although my Crabtree garden saw a 10 day dry period that had me close to the bottom of my rooftop collection reserve, which runs up to 650 gallons when full. If you have to pay for your water, some sort of rainwater collection system makes a lot of cents/sense. Something as simple as as a 50 gallon barrel will save you some money in the long run. If you have city code issues, they now sell very decorative rain barrels, or consider a cheap kids backyard swimming pool. Where code is not an issue, used inexpensive barrels can still be found. Or upgrade capacity with cattle tanks. Smaller openings in your collection containers make it easier to close with screening, to prevent mosquitoes from laying their eggs. Or use mosquito dunks which will also kill fungus gnat and black fly larva, while being safe for fish, amphibians and mammals. Of course, water is the lifeblood of a garden. They just don’t last long without it. You can increase your garden’s capacity to retain moisture by working lots of organic material into the soil. And slow evap-

oration with plenty of mulch. Both will pull nutrients out of the soil as they decompose so be sure to add some additional fertilizer to compensate. One more way to conserve moisture in the garden is shade cloth. Hot summer sun can accelerate moisture loss from soil and plants. Cloth with 30 to 40% shade is good for most vegetables. Finally, let’s talk about the fall garden. I know it seems early, but actually there are many plants that can be started indoors now from seed or even direct sowed in the garden. Check your favorites’ listed days to maturity and count back from the first expected frost, around October 12. That will give you the date you want to plant prior to. For example a short season snap bean, a warm weather crop, planted now could give you a couple of harvests before the first freeze, while a short season lettuce, a cool weather crop, planted

now could bolt, go to seed, before the cool weather really sets in. Of course, weather being variable, there are other considerations that can affect development. I’ll talk more about this next month. But I suggest you have
fun with the planning. There is a certain feeling of exhilaration that occurs when a plan comes together. Louis Pasteur said, “Chance favors the prepared mind.” Hope to see you in the garden next month.

Central Arkansas
Little Red River
(updated 7-222020) Greg Seaton of littleredflyfishingtrips. com (501-690-9166) said the river is clear with generation starting at 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. and running until about 7 p.m. The Corps of Engineers is running two units during this time. This is a good schedule for the summer because it keeps the water temperature good throughout the trout water. Wade fishing is available at JFK Park, Cow Shoals and Winkley Shoal during the morning and early afternoon until the generated water reaches your area. Rainbows are hitting small emergers, small mayfly nymphs and midge pupa.

Fishing Report
at 461.66 feet msl and falling with generation and evaporation. It is 0.12 feet below normal pool for this time of year of 462.54 feet msl. Catching is still good for all species all around if you stay the course. Crappie are still eating well straight up and down on minnows and jigs trolled or small cranks. Target 12-30 feet. Hybrid and white bass are good early late and in the middle of day. Some are up high schooling, while others are on structure eating live bait, spoons and inline spinners in 2545 feet. Black bass are on structure, schooling, and some are still up shallow eating a lot of different baits; just get it in front of them. Catfishing is going strong for all species. Walleye are on edges of gravel points, humps, bends, on one side or the other, in 18-45 feet eating crawlers and crankbaits. Bream action is hot all over the lake as well; use crickets and crawlers for the best bite.
As of Wednesday, the Army Corps of Engineers reports the lake’s elevation at 461.67 feet msl (normal conservation pool: 462.54 feet msl). (updated 7-22- North 2020) Tommy Cauley of Arkansas Fishfinder Guide Service (501-940-1318) White River (updated 7-22said the water level at Greers Ferry Lake is 2020) Cotter Trout Dock
(870-435-6525) said everybody wants to be on the river where the water temperature is a near-steady 57 degrees and, even in the midst of a 95-degree day, you might float through a mist that drops the temperature 15 degrees. The trout have been gobbling worms. The XFactor shrimp pink is a new favorite, and the live red wigglers working like a charm. Rainbow spoons have been popular; either the 1/6-ounce or quarter-ounce are proving their worth. The hot color for the river is "rainbow"; rainbow spoons, rainbow blades on spinners, rainbow paste. Now is the perfect time to experiment with new jerkbaits. Since Rapalas are hard to come by these days, try a 4.5-inch Headhunter rainbow lure or a Wee Craw crawfish crawler. “Come on over and enjoy some freedom from the day-to-day hustle on the banks of the White. A little breeze will pick up a hint of cool air off the river and make these dog days of summer much more tolerable.”
Bull Shoals Lake As
of
Wednes-
day, the Army Corps of Engineers reports the lake’s elevation at 688.26 feet msl (normal conservation pool: 661.20 feet msl). Table Rock Lake above Bull Shoals on Wednesday was at 925.72 feet msl (normal conservation pool is 917.00 feet msl). (updated 7-222020) Del Colvin at Bull Shoals Lake Boat Dock says the Corps of Engineers has limited access to ramps and parking, so Del suggests customers/boaters/anglers call first, especially on weekends. Summer fishing patterns are in effect. For largemouth bass, fish with topwaters in the mornings. Berkley Wake Bait, poppers, Whopper Plopper, buzzbaits or chatterbaits continue to work for power fishing shallow if it’s cloudy or stormy. During the day, smallies and spotted bass (Kentucky bass) are stacked out on main and secondary points, sunken islands, humps, channel swing bluffs and bluff ends. With shad present, fish position will change depending on sun, wind, current, clouds, etc. Still a lot of places for them to hide with high water, so keep it moving. Use a big worm in sunken trees, near ledges, or a half-ounce jig in green pumpkin orange or green pumpkin blue in 18-28 feet of water. Smallmouth bass are at gravel banks, boat ramps and old roads. Drag baits like the Ned rig, Hula Grubs, tubes, the Lil’ McMinnow, and fish a drop-shot suspenders off bluff points, main lake points and hump islands at 24-34 feet depth. Lake clarity is dingy to clear. Sur-
