A couple of proposed ordinances received first readings at Thursday night’s Clinton City Council meeting. One was an ordinance on street excavations and alterations, which would require a permit of up to $2,000 with no exceptions. The second was a first reading of a rewritten nuisance ordinance aimed at eliminating inoperable vehicles. Both are expected to be given second readings at the September meeting. Also at the meeting, Police Chief John Willoughby said his department served search warrants and recovered “a bunch”
of stolen items and found some methamphetamine. He said the department worked seven accidents, a lot of property checks and wrote 61 citations. City Attorney Chad Brown noted that the department and the City Council should be aware that in case the county permits liquor sales after the November election, the city has three ordinances on the books from the 1940s about alcohol. He advised that the council consider updating the codes. From the animal shelter, officer Tim Pike said eight dogs were picked up in the city limits over the
month. He said the dog that bit a boy is no longer in the state as it was sent to a Massachusetts rescue along with nine others. The shelter currently has 25 dogs with two in foster car and 12 cats. The fire department report said the department answered one call for mutual aid and a couple of false alarms, including one at the elementary school and another at the hospital. From the Water Department, it was reported that chemical costs for the month were $9,166 or 12 cents per thousand gallons. Water loss was a total of 32.6 percent, 39.59 per-

Shirley gearing up for baseball games The Shirley City Council was told last week that the Baseball/ Softball Association had begun team practicing and will hold games in the near future. Mayor Lisa Hackett asked if the city would be liable. She stated that she was told the concession stand would not be opened and social distancing would be practiced. She stated that the governor has issued new compliance recommendations concerning community sports. Councilman David Cook stated that the city should not be held liable so long as signs listing the new guidelines were posted. These guidelines were recommendations not laws. Councilman Randall Gardner asked if the city had been reimbursed for all the its costs relating to Covid-19. Hackett stated that the city has not been reimbursed yet but she will get with the county judge to see when it might be expected. Hackett was turned down in her request for the city to purchase a new push mower for use in mowing the street right-of-ways. Council members stated that would be an unnecessary expense as this work could be done with the weed eater. The mayor reported that she had been approached by some city residents needing community service hours. She stated that she was going to have the workers paint the “bridges” between the City Stage and the Centennial Museum to match the picnic tables. Council members suggested that a water sealer/stain be put on the stage as well. The Shirley City Council meets at 7 p.m. on the second Monday of each month at the community center. The meetings are open to the public.
cent at Burnt Ridge and 23.6 percent at Dennard. The zoning commissioner said he has issued several remodel permits. He also said one citation has been issued and some of the bigger nuisance problems should be cleared up soon. The council approved a resolution to pay $62,463 in a cash match to the state for new flood plain maps from FEMA. The state is picking up 75 percent of the cost. The council meets on the second Thursday of each month at 6:30 p.m. at the airport meeting room. The meetings are open to the public.
A lightning struck resulted in a fire at a home on Eagle Ridge Trace last week.
Late afternoon on Aug. 11, the home at 119 Eagle Ridge Trace was apparently struck by lightning. Since there was no one home a fire developed inside the building, went unnoticed and quickly spread, according to Fairfield Bay Fire Chief Douglas Forsman. Fairfield Bay Firefighters were on the scene in less than 4 minutes after the alarm. Heavy smoke was visible. Attempts were made to make an offensive attack. However, firefighters were forced out by heavy fire and smoke. The fire grew quickly and completely destroyed the 7,000 square foot home that sits on an iconic point overlooking the lake. Fairfield Bay Firefighters were assisted by personnel and water tankers from Burnt Ridge, Shirley, Choctaw, Highway 110 and Denard Fire Departments. Medic One was on scene to assist and FFB's Emergency Management Team provided support. One firefighter was treated and released for a shoulder injury.

I believe her wealth of child behavioral knowledge will greatly enhance what other early childhood special education teachers have given these many years we have provided early childhood services. Covid has given us plenty of challenges and we are meeting those challenges. We have a great staff of paraprofessionals and therapists on hand and continue to make
Robyn Williams meaningful and visible progress with the children and families we serve,” said Executive Director Neil Wilkins.

Finding new ways to help By U.S. Sen. John Boozman through
As Arkansans work to protect the health of their family and friends, juggle school and childcare needs, and face challenging household finances, the list of things to worry about during the Covid-19 public health emergency seems endless. In addition, at a time when we all have a lot of questions, many of the places we normally turn to find answers are different than usual. This has been one of the greatest challenges for my office since March. My staff and I always prioritize helping Arkansans, and the last few months put those skills to the test as we worked through issues in a very different government landscape. Even when my entire staff was working remotely, we answered office phones and responded to emails so that people could find critical help and information. Since the beginning of this crisis, we’ve fielded thousands of calls and emails regarding IRS issues, unemployment, federal help for small businesses and travel emergencies for Arkansans who found themselves trapped overseas when most of the world shut down. We were forced to find new ways to contact agencies and figure out who was working and what services were available. In many ways, the pandemic is so different because of the way it impacts all of us at the same time. When we have a tornado or an ice storm, there are people in neighboring states who send trucks to fix the electric lines or help with emergency needs. The same is usually true for federal agencies. Normally when one location has a problem, work shifts to other places to make sure Americans can still get the services they rely on. Because of the scope of this crisis, federal agencies are operating in different ways. For example, the National Personnel Records Center in Missouri is the first place to go to find military records. Its work requires searching
physical files and, due to the dangers with close contact working conditions right now, many of the employees are not allowed in the building. The same is true for many of our U.S. Embassies throughout the world. Conditions vary greatly in each country and many are operating in emergency status with little ability to handle routine requests for visas and passports. However, my office continues to talk to officials at these agencies and others to find help with emergencies. Although some agencies are limited in their ability to respond right now, others were able to pivot quickly for remote work. Social Security Administration field offices remain closed to walk-in visitors, but customers can still request an appointment. Even with the dramatic shift to online op-
erations, the agency did not slow down on providing services, whether initial applications or disability hearings. Despite the enormous challenges facing these agencies and the dedicated federal employees who work for them, my office continues to inquire and try to
find ways to solve problems. I hope Arkansans who run into a dead end with a federal government problem know that we are still here. Over the last few months, we have learned even more about how to get help, especially when it is a little harder to find.

James & Joyce Burns Scotland
There are some Covid-19 cases in the Scotland community so the lunch program at the Scotland Center will be closed for a little while. We will let you know when it will open. Just a report on the concealed carry class that was held at the school cafeteria last Saturday. They had almost a full class and everyone thought it was well worth the time and the price. They had a request for another class for Saturday, Au-
gust 15, and I think it is a full class. It is so great to have the facility in the community that will hold a group and have room to social distance. I went down to the cafeteria and turned the air on and disinfected everything and will do it again after the class. We have canceled the Burns and Hoggard annual family reunion because of the virus. We are still renting the cafeteria out for $35 a day and if you want to reserve a date call 5923935 so we can put it on the calendar and if you have reserved it and decide not to use it, let us know if you want to cancel it. James went for his checkup with the on-
cologist and his melanoma has returned for the third time in the same place. We are waiting to find out when they will start treatment. We hope they can take care of it in Conway at Carti so we do not have to go to Little Rock. We have been truly blessed and know that between God and the doctors, we will be again. Everyone is getting ready for school so let’s get used to the extra traffic and the school buses as well as the kids waiting at the bus stop. Have a great week and if you have Scotland News call 5923935 and we will get it into the paper.

St. Francis Sunken Lands Water Trail in Poinsett County
(Arkansas Game & Fish photo)
AGFC opens earthquake-fueled paddling adventure Arkansas Wildlife Magazine River to drop 6 to 8 feet 10 miles of the Sunk- make where they will
The latest water trail added to the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission’s watchable wildlife destinations has been a long time in the making — about 208 years. St. Francis Sunken Lands Water Trail in Poinsett County takes advantage of the effects of the New Madrid earthquakes of 1811-12 and offers canoe and kayak enthusiasts a rare view of the creatures that call these bottomland hardwoods home. “It hasn’t really been 200 years to make the trail, but it has been a long process to get this trail in place,” said Kirsten Bartlow, the AGFC’s watchable wildlife coordinator. “But the area has a unique history that stems from that era.” The Sunken Lands were formed when the earthquakes rocked the Mid-South. The seismic activity caused ground along the St. Francis
over an area of about 30 miles. Reelfoot Lake in Tennessee was formed during the same event. “History books tell us that one of the earthquakes was so violent, it caused the Mississippi River to flow backward for a short time,” Bartlow said. Although the water trail has been on the “todo” list for some time, Bartlow credits Jessica Homan, St. Francis Sunken Lands Wildlife Management Area biologist for the AGFC, and the St. Francis Lake Association for pushing the ball across the goal line. “They were the real cheerleaders on this and Jessica did a lot of on-the-ground legwork to make it happen,” Bartlow said. “They’ve wanted to bring more people and attention to their area and have been a big part of its creation.” The new water trail snakes its way through

en Lands, and three access points offer entry to the trail with informational signs at the boat launch. All of the access points are popular with waterfowl hunters who frequent the St. Francis Sunken Lands Wildlife Management Area in winter. The trail starts at Iron Bridge Access, goes through Steven’s Landing Access, then down to the Oak Donnick Access. The water is relatively calm, with little current unless there has been recent rain. Paddling is possible both upstream and downstream in the wider portions of the Sunken Lands. “I would suggest someone visiting for the first time put in at Oak Donnick and paddle upstream, exploring all the cypress swamps and wildlife in the area locals call ‘the wide water,’ then paddle back,” Bartlow said. “There’s a nice little loop they can
see new ground for the entire float.” Bartlow warns that trail markers are not used once you make it to the St. Francis River, and paddlers should download a special georeferenced map, available at www.ag- Crossword Solution fc.com/en/explore-outdoors/wildlife-viewing/ water-trails/st-francissunken-lands-watertrail/ .“We’ve created a virtual map people can download to their phones that will keep them on track,” Bartlow said. “You need to download the app ‘Avenza’ and add the St. Francis Sunken Lands, then you can follow the trail using your phone’s location services feature. We have a few water trails and watchable wildlife sites that use this technology, so it’s an app many paddlers will find helpful.

Fishing Report
Guide Jon Conklin, who reports for the Fishing Report from Beaver Lake, went fishing with another guide, Jeff Wilson, and caught this striper last week on the lake. He says the bite is strong early in the morning using bream and brood minnows, and some great topwater is going on, too, at Beaver Lake.
Northwest Arkansas
Beaver Lake
As of Wednesday, the Army Corps of Engineers reports the lake’s elevation at 1,125.01 feet msl (normal conservation pool: 1,121.43 feet msl). (updated 8-122020) Jon Conklin with FishOn Guide Service (479-233-3474) says Beaver Lake levels remain above normal and water temps are in lower 80s. Clarity is stained in river arms and fairly clear on the dam end. Stripers continue a good bite very early in the morning. You better be there at 5:30 a.m. to get on the bite. There is a short topwater bite that lasts for an hour or so. Zara Spooks, Redfins and Pencil Poppers are working during the flurry. Look at Point 5 to the dam on main lake points and flats for the fish. Find the bait and the fish will be nearby. Crappie are fair with pulled cranks and jigs fished in brush. You can grind out a limit. Bass are schooled up chasing shad and are on an early/late bite. Walleye
are hit and miss with a fair number of shorts being caught on trolled cranks and crawler harnesses. Look to all major windswept points in 25-35 feet of water. Catfish are good on all methods. “We caught some nice cats pulling live bait for stripers recently,” Jon says.
ture, chunk rock and flats. Jigging live minnows and throwing soft and hard plastics have produced the most. If you can find the baitfish, you will find the fish! “That’s all I have to report,” he said. “As always, have fun, stay safe and catch some fish!
Beaver Tailwater
Central Arkansas
(updated 8-122020) Guide Austin Kennedy (479-2440039) says the river is returning to normal levels and temperatures. Most of the trout are upstream past Spider Creek. So if you have been fishing in a boat that has a pretty deep draft, you will no longer be able to make it upriver, as some areas are only inches deep. With that being said, the trout bite has been pretty good. Most are being caught on various PowerBaits fished with light terminal tackle. Spoons and micro jigs have also produced good numbers. If you looking for walleye, white bass or Kentucky bass, you need to locate the warmer water. Try fishing struc-
Little Red River
(updated 8-122020) Lowell Myers of Sore Lip’em All Guide Service (501-230-0730) said the Little Red River is receiving a few hours of afternoon generation each day. This pattern provides wading opportunities on the upper river in the mornings and lower river in the afternoons. For fly-fishing, Lowell recommends midges, pheasant tails, hare’s ears, sowbugs and streamers. Hot pink bodies on chartreuse jigheads are recommended for Trout Magnet spin-fishing Be safe while enjoying the river.

Bull Shoals Lake
As of Wednesday, the Army Corps of Engineers reports the lake’s elevation at 684.09 feet msl (normal conservation pool: 661.20 feet msl). Table Rock Lake above Bull Shoals on Wednesday was at 916.84 feet msl (normal conservation pool is 917.00 feet msl). (updated 8-122020) Del Colvin at Bull Shoals Lake Boat Dock reports that the Army Corps of Engineers continues to allow limiting access to ramps and parking; customers/boaters/anglers should call first, especially on weekends. Del says the bass bite has changed a little. The Corps is pumping water out of the lake, and the water being 25 feet high this past week has fish moving out on the points, and there are baitfish suspended deep off the points. Del says that if it’s hot, go deep. If it’s cloudy and windy, go shallow. Use topwater baits in the mornings. Berkley Wake Bait, poppers, a Whopper Plopper, buzzbait or chatterbaits are best for powerfishing shallow if it’s cloudy or stormy. Target shallow flats close to old creek channels with shad. 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.

2 gardens receive nods The Van Buren Master Gardeners awarded two new recipients for the August "We Noticed" program. This month both nominees are from Fairfield Bay. The first nominee is John Buster. He has an all-season landscape. He lives on a fairly busy street, so he has planted a wide berm across his front yard that provides a very pretty screen from the street. He has used different textures of plants as well. Buster has put a lot of work into his yard and it doesn't sound like he is finished with it yet. He was nominated by Mary Maud Huber. The second recipient is John Jenkins of Lakeside Drive. He was nominated by Ellen Couch. Her description of what she liked was his beautiful lawn. He has unique terraces with a variety of plants and flowers. He has been in the
