Shirley man arrested A traffic stop over a non-functioning license plate light has resulted in drug charges for a Shirley man. After confirming that Dennis Michael Dearen, 49, had a warrant for his arrest out of Bryant, he was placed in hand restraints by Van Buren County sheriff’s Deputy Sonny Clifford. Clifford reported that he was concerned that Dearen could feel he was being coerced to give permission to search his vehicle because of the restraints, so he elected to deploy K-9 Silas to do an exterior search, the report states. Silas alerted to the presence of illegal narcotics, the affidavit states. A search of the vehicle turned up a small plastic bag containing what was believed to be metham-
phetamine. Dearden has been charged with possession of controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia, both Class D felonies. A 62-year-old Clinton woman has been charged with aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer or employee of a correctional facility after an incident on Dec. 23, 2019. Glenda Couch was being placed in a restraint chair after kicking, screaming and hitting the door, according to an arrest affidavit. She looked a detention officer in the face, cursed him and spit on him, according to the affidavit. Couch’s pretrial arraignment is set for Feb. 4 in Circuit Court. The charge is a Class D felony. She has been released on $5,000 bond.
At the scene - The Burnt Ridge Fire Department was dispatched to a one vehicle accident with injury at the 5400 block of Holly Mountain Road around 4:30 p.m. Dec. 15. First responders from Burnt Ridge and Highway 110 Fire Department aided in patient care and traffic control until approximately 8:30 p.m. One patient was transported by Medic One. No further details about the accident are known. (Photo from BRVFD Facebook)
JPs approve budget, make handbook fixes The three-hour meeting of the Van Buren County Quorum Court garnered most of the attention last month, but the justices of the peace held a special meeting as well. The Dec. 17 special meeting was the more like a regular meeting of the Quorum Court, though it lasted less than a halfhour. At the meeting, JPs approved the county’s 2020 budget and a couple of updates for the employee handbook - one change on carrying weapons on county properties and the other, wording on the sick leave policy.
Those ordinances were approved unanimously; JPs Gary Linn and Ester Bass were absent. Also at the meeting, County Judge Dale James gave his road report. He said work on the Shirley Railroad Bridge and Buttercreek Bridge was completed. He also said a grant has been applied for to help pay for work on Archey Road, and work is being done on Banner Mountain Road. From the sheriff’s office, Sheriff Lucas Emberton reported that the county is still housing 17 federal inmates.
New laws for state as 2020 gets started The Arkansas House of Representatives has passed several bills that take effect on January 1, 2020. Here are 10 of them: Act 182 reduces the top income tax rate from 6.9 percent to 6.6 percent. This will lower again to 5.9 percent in 2021. Act 869 requires the implementation of the online insurance verification system by January 1, 2020. In a routine traffic stop, the new verification system allows the officer to confirm whether the vehicle is insured. Under the current system, the insurance data may be up to 30 days old. Act 774 requires the Department of Finance and Administration to provide space on individual income tax forms for a taxpayer to designate more than one account for the direct deposit of the taxpayer’s refund beginning with returns filed for tax year January 1, 2020. Act 1063 provides that a tow facility may tow heavy-duty motor vehicles as part of a law enforcement program if the tow facility is licensed by the Arkansas Towing and Recovery Board, passes safety inspections, and complies with state and federal laws. Act 564 requires the annual publication of the county bud-
get and the annual financial report of the county. Act 653 prohibits state funding of human cloning and destructive embryo research. Act 1021 establishes the process for governing directed trusts and clarifies the applicability, principal place of administration, excluded powers, limitations, defenses, and duties and liability of trust directors and directed trustees. Act 866 prohibits a business that is subject to a business closure order by the Department of Finance and Administration from contracting or doing business with the state. Act 822 extends the net operating loss carry-forward period to eight years for losses occurring in the tax year starting Jan. 1, 2020. Act 988 amends the law concerning the re-employment of certain retired members of the Arkansas Local Police and Fire Retirement System. The act applies to a member of the system who on or after January 1, 2020, elects to participate in the Local Police and Fire Deferred Retirement Option Plan, retires from the system as a participant in the Local Police and Fire Deferred Retirement Option Plan, or retires from the system.
Legislature proposes 3 amendments The Arkansas Constitution allows legislators to refer up to three amendments to voters every general election. This year, those proposed amendments are: HJR1018: An Amendment to the Arkansas Constitution Continuing a OneHalf Percent (0.5%) Sales and Use Tax for State Highways and Bridges; County Roads, Bridges and Other Surface Transportation; and City Streets, Bridges, and Other Surface Transportation After the Retirement of the Bonds Authorized in Arkansas Constitution, Amendment 91. Lead Sponsor: Rep. Jeff Wardlaw Vote: The Senate approved referring HJR1018 to the ballot by a vote of 25 yeas to 7 nays. The House approved referring the constitutional amendment by a vote of 67 yeas to 30 nays. The Department of Finance and Administration prepared a Legislative Impact Statement on the pro-
posal, which seeks to continue an existing one-half percent sales tax. Historical context: Voters in 2012 passed a half-cent sales tax for road construction in the state, for highways and local roads. Read our 2012 fact sheet on the proposal, which the legislature placed on the ballot. Voters approved the measure, creating Amendment 91. SJR15: A Constitutional Amendment to Amend the Term Limits Applicable to Members of the General Assembly, to be Known as the "Arkansas Term Limits Amendment" Lead Sponsor: Sen. Alan Clark Vote: The Senate approved referring SJR15 to the ballot by a vote of 26 yeas to 5 nays. The House approved referring the constitutional amendment by a vote of 51 yeas to 26 nays.

The Voice of Van Buren County Dear Editor: Recently I overheard a comment that our Congress and General Assembly should be referred to as coalitions to promote poverty. This I think was a facetious remark, but on reflection I saw truth in it. Consider that taxpayers are paying farmers for grain the Chinese refused to buy and this has cost billions. While we are picking up the tab for this we are also paying a tariff on goods from China and this tariff ranges from 10 percent to 25 percent. Google has a list of goods that have the tariff and what percentage it is. Businesses usually put the tariff as part of the cost of what is bought so the consumer does not know. Add insult to injury by Congress getting a raise every year without having to ask for it and is substantially more than social security people get. The mid-economic class is shrinking and they are the ones supporting the government. The poor are also taking a hit. Arkansas General Assembly passed a law adding 10 percent to fines paid on installment. So a $100 fine becomes a $200 fine if the person should only able to pay $20 a month. That is because $10 went to pay on the fine and the other $10 went to a black hole the assembly created. There are other examples ad nauseam, and we can continue this downward spiral or look at what is really happening and decide what we want to do if anything. The General Assembly has an amendment to the constitution that will be on the November ballot that would eliminate term limits and also one that would make it more difficult for people to put their own amendments on the ballot. These are efforts to make the government a dictatorship instead of by the people and for the people. Marjorie LeClair Shirley

PROPOSED BUDGET OF EXPENDITURES WITH TAX LEVY FOR FISCAL YEAR BEGINNING JULY 1, 2021 TO AND INCLUDING JUNE 30, 2022 The Board of Directors of Clinton School District No. 1 of Van Buren County, Arkansas, in compliance with the requirements of Amendments No. 40 and No. 74 to the Constitution of the State of Arkansas and of Ark. Code Ann. § 6-13-622 has prepared, approved and hereby makes public the proposed budget of expenditures, together with the tax rate, as follows: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.
Salary Fund Expenditures Instructional Expense Maintenance & Operation Expense Dedicated M & O Expense Pupil Transportation Expense Other Operating Expense Non-Bonded Debt Payment Bonded Debt Payment
$ $ $ $ $ $ $ $
9,478,860 849,660 219,300 0 549,780 0 110,281 1,249,316
To provide for the foregoing proposed budget of expenditures, the Board of Directors proposes a total school tax rate (state and local) of 36.8 mills on the dollar of the assessed value of taxable property located in this School District. The proposed tax includes the uniform rate of tax (the “Statewide Uniform Rate”) to be collected on all taxable property in the State and remitted to the State Treasurer pursuant to Amendment No. 74 to the Arkansas Constitution to be used solely for maintenance and operation of schools in the State. As provided in Amendment No. 74, the Statewide Uniform Rate replaces a portion of the existing rate of tax levied by this School District and available for maintenance and operation of schools in this District. The total proposed school tax levy of 36.8 mills includes 25.0 mills specifically voted for general maintenance and operation and 11.8 mills voted for debt service previously voted as a continuing levy pledged for the retirement of existing bonded indebtedness. The surplus revenues produced each year by debt service millage may be used by the District for other school purposes. The total proposed school tax levy of 36.8 mills represents the same rate presently being levied. GIVEN this 16th day of December , 2019.

He was born November 5, 1929 on Nubbin Hill near Leslie, Arkansas to Jesse Carroll Ward and Essie Ann Treat Ward. When he was a toddler, the family moved to Hilltop community near Canaan, where he was raised. Jesse was a "jack of all trades.” He could build almost anything. He hardly ever bought anything new because he could just about always fix whatever broke down. He loved to go to yard sales. The last few years he was always looking for clocks and watches, which he would buy and work on. Most of the time he got them running, then gave them to someone. He thought everyone should wear a watch. Jesse is survived by his wife of 46 years, Patsy Blair Ward; daughters Rita (Joe) Blair of St. Joe, Mit-
zi (Dave) Dakopolos of Diamond City and Peggy (Mark) Wiatt of Harrison; son Steven Ward of Diamond City; sister, Bonnie Jean Drewry of Tilly; brother Joe Dale Ward of Marshall; 10 grandchildren; 20 great-grandchildren; one great-great-grandchild; and a host of other relatives. He was preceded in death by his parents; grandson Richie Scott Drewry; brother Ross Ward; and sisters Duell Mainord, Geraldine Latinette, Maudie England; and the mother of his children, Betty Brown. Graveside services were 2 p.m. Wednesday, January 1, 2020 at Canaan Cemetery in Marshall, Arkansas.

Final arrangements can be costly Early grave - One of the oldest graves in Huie Cemetery in Clinton is that of Jessie A. Huie. He was born to Elisha and Elizabeth Wright Huie on Nov. 25, 1892 and died on Sept. 27, 1913. Huie and his wife, Seline, had 14 children.
Many of us are totally unprepared for the death of a loved one but find the funeral arrangements fall to us. Experts say there are many things to consider, both financial and emotional. They offer these tips on the financial side. Figure out how much you can afford and set a budget. How much you spend has nothing to do with how much you loved the deceased.
Religion Life’s most profitable lesson “All Scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable…” (2 Timothy 3:16-17) Profit is good. There needs to be a benefit to everything we do. Do things in 2020 that will profit you, your family, and the world and make you better. No profit means useless or even harmful. We want a profit from our investments of time, money and labor. We all like better. We want our kids to have it better than we did. We want to do better at our jobs, do better at being a husband or wife, parents, children. We want to make better grades next year. A year from now we want to be better than we are now. To be better we must do things that profit us and do them in a consistent and disciplined
way.
What would make your life better in every area? What is the most profitable thing you could do that would make you a better person in everything? I want to give you life’s most profitable lesson, given to you at the beginning of the year so you can work on it every day for the whole year. This is not my idea; it’s what God says. The Bible is profitable. It is profitable to make you complete and mature as a good and godly person. Young Junior was packing to leave home for the first time. He was going off to college. His mother walked into his room as he was putting things into his suitcase which was laying open on his bed. She walked

over to the dresser, picked up his Bible and put it into the suitcase. He left. About a month later he texted her and said that he had already run out of money and could she send him some. She texted him back and told him he already had everything he needed. He replied that he did not and that he needed money! She didn’t answer him. He tried again the next day. Same answer from his mom. A couple of days later, he was serious. He wanted to know why she
If you don’t set a limit on how much you can spend, the funeral home won’t either. Shop around. Funeral prices can vary by thousands of dollars, for exactly the same service, all within the same region. Don’t be afraid to ask questions and ask how much everything costs. The average funeral costs $7,000 to $10,000. Funeral homes are not required to give prices online or by email, but the
Federal Trade Commission requires them to quote prices over the phone or in person. Be sure you know exactly what is included in the package you are buying. Ask for an itemized list upfront, with prices for each service or item. You don’t have to buy the entire package and you don’t have to buy everything from the funeral home — not even the casket. Many funeral homes sell plans that promise
better rates if you prepay for a package, but an industry expert advises against that. Joshua Slocum, executive director of the Funeral Consumers Alliance, says pre-planning a funeral is not the same as prepaying. He states that you may move away from the state or change funeral plans. The only exception to prepaying is if you must do so to qualify for Medicaid, to draw down funds.
wasn’t sending him any money. This time she told him everything he needed was in his Bible. He got angry and scolded her. She didn’t reply back. Next day: same song, different verse. “Everything you need is in your Bible.” Finally, reluctantly, he opened his Bible. Scattered throughout the pages of his Bible were five one hundred-dollar bills. Everything he needed was in his Bible. As far as life is concerned, life that now is and that which is to come, everything we need is in the Bible. “All Scripture is given by inspiration of God…” means that it is God-breathed. When we speak we are exhaling; we are breathing. If you don’t breathe, you can’t speak. God’s word is spoken by the very breath of God. That alone makes the Scriptures infinitely valuable. What does God have to say to
me? Whatever it is, it is profitable: “and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.” Doctrine is listed first because it’s the priority in the list of benefits the Scriptures give us. You can read the Bible a dozen times and not learn much of anything if you don’t learn what it is trying to teach you. What does the Bible teach from cover to cover on any subject? That’s doctrine. We need to know this because it is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Everybody needs reproof and correction because none of us is perfect yet. There are mid-flight adjustments that need to be made in any flight, and in every life. The Holy Scriptures provide that.
The purpose of the Bible is that we might be complete, which means mature. None of us is completely mature because none of us is like Jesus in every way, and until we reach heaven all of us will need doctrine, reproof, correction and instruction in righteousness. One of the marks of maturity is work. Mature people work. They accomplish things; they get the job done. Christians are called to be “thoroughly equipped for every good work.” The Scriptures equip us. They teach us what to do and how God wants us to do it. How much work are you doing for Christ? This year, why not make a commitment to learn the Bible? Get into a church and hear it preached. Get a Bible and study it every day. That is life’s most valuable lesson. Learn the word of God.

On Wednesday’s date, in 1935, Elvis Presley was born. The EHC’s monthly meeting is Thursday, 1:30 p.m., at their building in Rupert. The full moon is official Friday at 1:23 p.m. Native Americans have called it the Wolf Moon as wolves tended to howl more often at this time of year. Others have called it the Cold Moon and Spirit Moon. It’s Recycling Day Saturday, 8 to 10 a.m. in Alread. A benefit breakfast will be held at the same time in the cafeteria. Deer hunting is over for the season unless you’re an archer, then you have until February 29 to get your limit. Check the Regs for details. Applications for the Alread EHC’s scholarship, in memory of J.D. Puddy Jr., are now available. For more info call 745-5278 or 7456304. The mild winter weather has encouraged some daffodils to start pushing their green tips toward the
sun. There is still time to plant bulbs. They may flower late but they will survive. I also like to lift clumps that are diminishing in vigor, separate the bulbs and replant. The cooler temperatures make the digging easier and the emerging tips make them easy to find. Unless a big rain is coming, water in the newly planted bulbs to give them a quick opportunity to recover. Growth doesn’t stop this time of year, it just slows down. If you have info about the greater Crabtree and west 16 community, call or text, Jeff Burgess, 745-1249.

Railroad Bridge - The Shirley Railroad Bridge is a single-span iron Baltimore through truss, with a main span 153 feet long, and steel beam approach spans giving it a total length of 339 feet. The main span rests on large concrete piers set in the river. The bridge was built in 1908 for the Missouri and North Arkansas Railroad, and carried the railroad until 1949. In 1978 the tracks were covered by a concrete deck, and the bridge was converted to single-lane vehicular road use, carrying County Road 125. Renovations to the bridge were recently completed; it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.

Fishing Report
This is the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission’s weekly fishing report for Dec. 18, 2019 (updates have been added where reporters have provided reports during the holidays, though the next regular Weekly Fishing Report isn't scheduled until Jan. 8, 2020).
Central Arkansas
Little Red River
(updated 12-182019) Lowell Myers of Sore Lip’em All Guide Service said the Little Red River continues to receive daily generation providing good wade and drift-fishing opportunities on all sections of river. Fly patterns of egg pattern, midges, gold ribbed hares ear and pheasant tails can be productive. Consider hot pink bodies on chartreuse jigheads for Trout Magnet spin fishing. Always check before heading to the Little Red River by calling the Corps of Engineers Little Rock District water data system (501-3625150) for Greers Ferry Dam water release information.
Greers Ferry Lake
As of Wednesday, the Army Corps of Engineers reports the lake’s elevation at 461.74 feet msl (normal conservation pool: 462.54 feet msl). (updated 12-182019) Tommy Cauley of Fishfinder Guide Service (501-940-1318) said the water level at Greers Ferry Lake is at 461.75 feet
msl. It is 0.29 feet below normal pool of 462.04 feet msl for this time of year. There is a lot of generation every day. The water is a great color, we have shad everywhere, the weather has been great for fall catching and is going to get nothing but better until we get super cold, and then things will change again, but they still got to eat. Black bass are eating a long list of baits if you get it in front of one. They are all over the water column as well from top to bottom and suspended over 80 feet. Drag or throw something fast and let it sink through them and you will get bit; just stay with the shad and the cover you should be using this time of year. Crappie are eating it up as well. Catch them around wood or just floating around suspended on jigs or a minnow or a beetle spin in 15-50 feet and all in between. No report on bream. Hybrid and white bass are roaming and staying on structure better now since all the changes in the water here have gotten settled – on top, bottom and in between on a variety of baits. Inline spinners, any type of
striper bait or live bait, and spoons will shine now as well. No report on catfish. Walleye are showing up more and more now with the water getting more oxygen in it and the turnover. Try crankbaits, a jighead minnow or even a jighead worm. Jerking rogues at night as well on the right nights will work.
North Arkansas
White River
(updated 12-182019) Sportsman’s White River Resort (870453-2424) said they’ve had one boat out in three days running the spillway. The water is so high they cannot see the dock. “We’re looking forward to great fishing when the water drops back down,” they say. (updated 12-302019) John Berry of Berry Brothers Guide Service in Cotter (8704352169) said that during the past week they had a rain event (about an inch in Cotter), cool temperatures and moderate winds. The lake level at Bull Shoals fell 3.6 feet to rest at 0.8 foot above seasonal power pool of 659 feet
msl. This is 35.2 feet below the top of flood pool. Upstream, Table Rock remained steady at 0.1 foot above seasonal power pool and 15.9 feet below the top of flood pool. Beaver Lake fell 2.3 feet to rest at 4.8 feet above seasonal power pool and 4.8 feet below the top of flood pool. The White River and Table Rock had heavy generation with additional flows from flood gates. There was no wadable water. Norfork Lake rose 0.4 foot to rest at 0.4 foot above seasonal power pool of 553.75 feet msl and 25.8 feet below the top of flood pool. The Norfork tailwater had light flows and some wadable water. Seasonal power pool has been reset for the lakes in the White River system. The lakes are now at or near power pool; expect wadable water in the very near future. The catch-and-release section below Bull Shoals Dam is closed through Jan. 31, 2020, to accommodate the brown trout spawn. The state park will be seasonal catch-and-release through the same period. All brown trout must be immediately released. In addition, night fishing is prohibited in this area during this period. On Feb. 1, 2020, this section will open to fishing. The White has fished well. The hot spot has been Wildcat Shoals. The hot flies were olive Woolly Buggers (sizes 8, 10), Y2Ks (sizes 14, 12), prince nymphs (size 14), zebra midges (black with silver wire and silver bead or red with silver wire and silver bead sizes 16, 18), pheasant tails (size 14), ruby midges (size 18), root beer midges (size 18), pink and cerise San

Juan worms (size 10), and sowbugs (size 16). Double-fly nymph rigs have been very effective (John’s current favorite combination is a cerise high water San Juan worm with an egg pattern suspended below it). Use long leaders and plenty of lead to get your flies down. John also said, “This year, 2019, has been a high-water year. Most of the guide trips that I had this year were on high water. Traditionally, I have not enjoyed fishing on high water, but after fishing it so much this year I have learned several things that make it more enjoyable for me. I have not decided to sell my waders and pray for rain but I have come to be much more comfortable with it. “When I got my first White River jon boat, almost 20 years ago, I was fearful of high water. Now after a couple of decades of boat handling in all conditions, I am more worried about handling my boat in low water. On low water you have to be more careful about rocks, fallen trees and other obstacles. On high water, most of these obstacles are well below the surface. Of course, you still have to be ever vigilant for obstacles like logs or other boats. In addition, I have found that I use a lot more fuel on higher water. “I have always used eggs and worms (spaghetti and meatballs) as my go-to flies on high water. I have begun tying these flies on jigheads. By using the jigheads, I am putting more weight on the fly itself rather than the leader. This helps the fly sink quickly to the bottom where the trout are. Since the jigheads have the hook point up, they do not hang up on the bottom
Page 11
as easily as a standard fly tied on a conventional hook. “With the addition of an AAA split shot, this rig is pretty heavy. I found that my usual ¾-inch strike indicators could not properly float it. I tried using two strike indicators but thought that it made the rig ungainly and more difficult to cast. The solution was to go to a larger strike indicator. I found that a 1-inch strike indicator worked well. I also had to go to a long leader/ tippet combination (1112 feet) to hit the bottom. “The only remaining problem with this rig is that it is difficult to cast. With a rig this heavy and complicated (two heavy flies, a heavy split shot and a large strike indicator on a long leader) tended to have the loop crash on the back cast, resulting in a serious tangle unless the cast was made with a large open loop. If you are tangled you cannot catch fish. “The answer was relatively simple: Use a Belgian cast, which does not have a loop or a stop in the back. The Belgian is performed in one smooth motion. You bring the cast back to the side. When the line is behind you, bring the line forward, in a classic overhead forward cast, with a stop at eye level. Since there is no loop, there is nothing to crash and tangle. It is easy to learn and teach. I use it whenever I am in the boat fishing with my wife, Lori. By using the Belgian cast I stay out of her way (she uses a classic overhead cast) and we never tangle each other’s line. “By using these simple suggestions, you will be able to fish high water with ease.

SNYP reports numbers SNYP Arkansas issued its statistics on animals that came through its doors in 2019. The report states that local adoptions of cats numbered 60, dogs 33. It said 212 dogs were sent to rescue groups while 14 dogs and one cat were reunited with their owners. End of the year numbers were seven dogs and four cats. Lori Treat, SNYP director,
stopped taking in animals for several weeks due to personal medical reasons. The report states that five dogs and one cat “expired at shelter,” while five dogs and nine cats were euthanized due to “illness/ aggression.” No animal was euthanized due to lack of space, the report states.

Nature’s beauty attracts artists Thirty-seven artists exhibited their artwork at the North Central Arkansas Art Gallery in Fairfield Bay beginning in December. Six of those artists were new to the group. One of those, Judy Percell, is a new resident of Fairfield Bay. She went to school in West Memphis, Arkansas and attended college two years at Arkansas State University before graduating from the dental hygienist program at the University of Tennessee. She and her husband, Bill, have one son who is an optometrist in Memphis, a daughter-in-law who is the art director of Ducks Unlimited magazine, and two grandsons. The family used to camp every summer at Greers Ferry Lake and watched when it was being filled. Judy said moving here was a natural choice for her and her husband. Judy’s love of the arts started around the age of 10 when her
mother enrolled her in a Saturday morning children’s art class. Judy has not had any curriculum classes in art but has taken several years of group classes with different teachers. She used to paint more in oils but now enjoys painting in acrylics. Her favorite subject to paint is landscapes. Another artist whose works are featured at the gallery is Rema Merritt. Merritt’s interest in art reaches back to the early age of 8 in Randolph County Arkansas. Rema grew up on a cattle farm in the small Northeastern Arkansas community of Ravenden Springs. Good fortune would have it that retired commercial artist and Airforce veteran Thomas Schmerler would live next door to Rema and her family. Rema’s mother befriended the neighbors, and art lessons for the eager young Rema began. Rema is the post-

Rema attended Williams Baptist College and Mid-South Community College. Rema has been married for 15 years to her husband, Mark. Together the couple have seven children, and seven grandchildren. Rema’s recent

works have been acrylic on canvas, and acrylic on wood. The focus lately of Rema’s works have been birds, with an emphasis toward waterfowl.
