Tough decisions ahead, James warns The Van Buren County Quorum Court Budget Committee held another round of talks last week, hearing about special projects, from a judge and more about the animal shelter. At the conclusion of the meeting, Dale James, who is the budget committee chairman, warned his fellow justices of the peace, "We have some very, very, very difficult decisions to make." Those decisions, he said, will affect people and animals. After hearing from those scheduled to
present their budgets Tuesday evening, talk again turned to the Van Buren County Animal Shelter. James read the original memorandum of understanding with the city of Clinton, which he says obligates the city to paying for 50 percent of the costs of Animal Control. The city and mayor don't seem to think they owe more than $20,000 per year, he said. The memorandum also states that decisions on running the facility are up to the county, James said.
A representative from the Fairfield Bay animal shelter told the committee earlier that the shelter will receive $30,000 from the Community Club, $10,000 from the city of Fairfield Bay, and $5,000 from the Animal Protection League. Currently, the Fairfield Bay shelter has 10 dogs and employs one full-time and one part-time worker. The shelter, which had been rumored to be on the verge of closing by the end of the See Budget on page 7

Birthday party marks 106 years Not many people live to be 100. Pearl Mahaney beat those odds years ago, and Monday, Oct. 31, 2016, she celebrated her 106th birthday. Mrs. Mahaney is from Shirley. She now lives at Ozark Health Nursing Center in Clinton, where her party was planned and held on Monday. It was a double celebration with Halloween and many of the nursing home staff was dressed for the occasion. Mrs. Mahaney was recognized by Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson, who sent her a letter saying, in part, "I can only imagine the changes you have seen in this great state and in our nation over the past 10 decades. I commend you for your faithful commitment to your community and for your sincere devotion to your faith, your family and your state."
Attending the celebration were County Judge Roger Hooper and Clinton Mayor Richard McCormac. In his letter, McCormac proclaimed her "the true first lady of Clinton." Family members attending were her daughter Barbara Carroll, son J.C. Mahaney and his wife, Zelda, granddaughter Sandra Powers and her husband, Tony, granddaughter Linda and great-granddaughter Amanda, and several friends. Mrs. Mahaney has been a joy to know, says friend Kay Weaver. Her beautiful smile is contagious. Her faith in God and love of family have sustained her across the years, Weaver says. "She is a true Southern lady, one to be admired." We all wish Mrs. Mahaney health and happiness for many more birthdays.
Before the war, they were mill workers, dairymen and auto mechanics. Mostly, they were farmers. World War II took them to the far corners of the world, to places they had only read about or maybe never even heard of. They answered Uncle Sam’s call. Some of them did not make it home. They are Van Buren

Fake check lands man behind bars

A Tennessee man apparently tried to use a fraudulent $118,000 cashier's check to buy a piece of property in Clinton. Gary William Holt, 64, of Friendship, Tennessee, told Clinton Police Chief John Willoughby that he was given the check by a man in Little Rock to buy a home. The check bore the name of the First Service Bank branch in Shirley, and Willoughby asked Holt how the check made its way to Little Rock then back to Van Buren County, according to the police report. Holt had no answer for that, the report states. A background check on Holt showed that he was on active parole out of Tennessee and was not supposed to be in Arkansas, the report states. Holt was on parole for armed bank robbery and had been sentenced to 35 years, the report states. It also was discovered that Holt had at one time escaped from prison, the report states. Holt was placed under arrest on charges of forgery in the first degree and possession of a controlled substance without a prescription, the report states. He is being held in the Van Buren County Detention Center.

This year’s acorn crop and dry fall pastures pose a serious threat to cattle. Most animals are susceptible to acorn poisoning, although cattle and sheep are affected most often. Most species of oak in North America are considered toxic. Clinical signs occur several days after consumption of large quantities of green acorns in the fall. Dams consuming acorns during the second trimester of pregnancy have produced malformed calves. Some cattle develop kidney and digestive problems that can lead to death. Symptoms include lack of appetite, rough hair coat, a dry muzzle covered with crusty blood, abdominal pain, excessive thirst, frequent urination, and thin rapid pulse. Constipation is a common early symptom. Edema, or fluid in the tissue, occurs in the lower portion of the body. Acorn poisoning is thought to be caused by tannic acid, which can cause death due to severe kidney damage. The best way to prevent acorn poisoning is to keep cattle away from acorns, which retain high levels of tannic acid for several months. You can partially protect mature cows by feeding them 4 pounds of the following mixture each day – cottonseed meal, whole cottonseed or ground soybeans (40%), cottonseed hulls or corn (44%), hydrated lime (10%) and liquid molasses or vegetable oil (6%). Feed calves 2 pounds of the mixture per day. If a mature cow is constipated because of acorns, administer 2 to 3 quarts of mineral oil orally. Continue the treatment as needed.

Usually by this time of year we are having cool, rainy weather. Instead it has been in the low 80s this past week. I hope the weather folks are correct and it will start cooling off. It’s that time of year again when the deer are on the move. Tara Barnett was in an accident on Halloween day when she hit a large buck in her vehicle. Thankfully she was not injured, but her vehicle sustained great damage. Congratulations to Leonard Holley and David Lowrance on bagging themselves a deer this week. Good luck hunters and remember to stay safe in the woods. Dan and Tom Prout were able to get that eyesore mobile home moved off the side of the highway that was left by someone on their property.

Joan Allen has been celebrating her 84th birthday. Her daughters, Nona Vandergriff of Fairfield Bay, Melba Mackey of Mount Pleasant, Mississippi, Starla Mackey of Scotland and Lavonne Bradford of Shirley took her to Branson, Missouri, and she had a birthday dinner at her church Sunday. Her birthday was Tuesday, the first day of November. Carla Vanaman, who attended school at Shirley and graduated with the Class of 1966, passed away on Sunday, the day before his birthday, which was Oct. 31.

Geri’s Fit Tips Diet first
Focus on diet first. I’m a huge fan of exercise for health and other benefits, but if you’re looking to lose weight and/ or fat, the biggest factor is diet. Diet is 80 percent of weight loss and exercise is 20 percent. You can cut out more calories from what you eat than you can burn with exercise. Of course, both should be vital components of your fitness regiment, but start on diet first, then add exercise. Cut your portions down by usdowntown Scotland. Adults decorated their vehicles and set up tables with treats and games. Everyone had an awesome time. We think this will be an event we want to do every year. It will be much larger next year as we are already planning new things. We have had a lot of Scotland folks already tell us to count them in next year. It has been a long time since the streets of Scotland have been so full of neighbors and friends. It was a delightful time. Remember, next Saturday is the First Saturday Breakfast. November the 5th. We only charge $6 and we will serve breakfast at 8 a.m. until we run out of food or people quite coming. We look forward to seeing all of you. This is also James Burns’ birthday. Be sure to wish him a happy birthday he will be 81 and I am counting on him having many more. He has an aunt that was 105 in September and is still going strong. Marcus Baker lost his battle with cancer on October 31, 2016, at his home surrounded by his family and friends. He was laid to rest on November 1 at the Baker Family Cemetery at Moro, Arkansas. There will be a Memorial Service planned for Saturday, November 12, at the Scotland Lighthouse Christian Fellowship Church at 12 noon. Larry Lee has had his surgery and is home recuperating
ing a smaller plate, eat small, frequent meals and make healthier choices. Don’t think that because you are exercising you can eat whatever you want (unless you’re a marathoner or triathlete or something like that) — you won’t reach your fitness goals that way. – Geri Cabana, RN
and so glad to have that behind him. Have a fantastic week and be safe. If you have Scotland news please call James Burns at 5923935 and he will see that it gets into the paper.

year, would still appreciate help from the county, but the situation is no longer dire. The Fairfield Bay shelter is low-kill, she said. The Van Buren County facility operates on a much larger scale, with 400-500 dogs passing through it in a year, County Judge Roger Hooper said. It was originally opened as a way to deal with nuisance animals, the committee was reminded. It has been over a year since any healthy animal was euthanized, said JP Gary Linn.
Asked for his opinion on the shelter, Sheriff Scott Bradley said if the shelter closes, "It's going to make it real hard on me." He said the sheriff's office will get all the calls on dogs like it did before the facility opened. "When it started it was a kill facility," Bradley said. "If you don't keep that going, you're going to run out of room." He said the facility has gotten away from its original purpose, adding there should be a limit on how long the animals are kept. "Not all animals are adoptable," he said. Also at the meeting:
Page 7 * District Judge Susan Weaver requested raises for the office’s clerks saying they are paid substantially less in Van Buren County than in Faulkner County. Justice of the Peace Dale James told her raises in 2017 were doubtful. * Doyle Scroggins of the Scot-Van Corp., an organization that looks after the Scotland Senior Center at the site of the old elementary school, asked for the same level of financial support as in the past. He said the seven-members of the board constantly raise funds for repairs and such, and mainly rely on the $11,000 from
the county. Scroggins said it costs about $1,000 month to run the center. * Senior Centers program is struggling, director Pamala Draeger told the committee. She asked that the county restore the 10 percent it cut from the program’s budget for 2016. She said the centers are holding more fundraisers than ever. James told her he was not sure about restoring the 10 percent cut, but hoped that no more would have to be trimmed. The committee will hold its next meeting Nov. 15. The Quorum Court must have its budget approved by the end of 2016.

The football team chows down courtesy of General Baptist Church in Clinton before the Jackets game against Marshall last month. (Photo by Kay Weaver) The Clinton Yellow Jackets beat Mountain View on Friday to claim a piece of their Class 3A Division title. Clinton won the game in Mountain View by a score of 3432. The win resulted in a threeway conference tie for the Jackets, Mountain View and the Elkins Elks. Because of Clinton's Homecoming loss to Elkins and their failure to beat Mountain View by more than 7 points, the Yellow Jackets will be the third seed in the division playoffs, which begin Friday. Clinton will travel to Centerpoint High School in Amity to take on the Knights. In a strange twist near the end of the game, Clinton, who was leading by 2 points, used up all their timeouts trying to get the ball back, while Mountain View, who was trailing, used up as much time as possible
between each play, letting the clock run, as they tried to hold on to a conference tie instead of trying for a win. Fans could be heard yelling, "We want to win," but the coaches obviously had their strategy planned. It was a close game with several lead changes throughout. The Mountain View Yellow Jackets scored first, going up 6-0 in the first quarter. They did not have a kicker and attempted 2-point conversions all night. Clinton answered as the second quarter got underway. Kort Weaver tossed a short pass to Wyatt McCoy and Clinton went up 7-6. Each team scored another touchdown before halftime. Weaver got a push from teammates to cross the goal line to finish up a 65-yard scoring drive. The score at half-time was 13-12, Clinton. In the third quarter, senior

Jake Ferrell scored a touchdown after a 42-yard pass and run play. Johnathan Ochoa chipped in another point after and the Jackets were up 2012. Mountain View scored on a quarterback keeper and the 2-point conversion was good, tying the score at 20 all. The kickoff bounced off the return man and Mountain View recovered, then scored another touchdown, taking the lead 2620. In the fourth quarter, Weaver threw a pass to junior Charleston Sowell for a touchdown, Ochoa's extra point was good and Clinton was up 27-26. After another touchdown by Mountain View, Ferrell intercepted the 2-point try in the end zone. The score with 5:13 seconds left in the game was 32-27 Mountain View. See Title on page 9

The Shirley Senior Boy Blue Devils began their 2016 – 2017 season with five consecutive victories in non-conference play. The Blue Devils opened up at home with a 62 to 35 victory over the Abundant Life Owls. Shirley jumped out to a 21 to 6 lead in the first quarter and never looked back. Senior guard Joe Owen led all scorers with 14 points, 12 coming in the first half. Seniors Jed Privitt and Daniel Strempke had 12 and 11 points respectively. The next game had the Devils facing off against the Guy-Perkins Thunderbirds. Privitt had a monster game leading the Blue Devils to a 85 to 76 victory. Privitt had 34 points to lead all scorers and senior swingman Easton Freeman hit 6 threes to finish with 22 points. Shirley traveled to Mt Vernon-Enola for their third game of the season. The Blue Devils took a 1-point lead into the half. The Devils held the Warhawks to 7 points in the third quarter pulling away to 70 to 63 victory. Privitt had 16 first half points and finished with a game high 24. Owen hit 12 of 14 free throws and finished with 18 points. Senior point guard Sam Spurlin contributed 11 points to the win. Shirley defeated Nemo Vista in a low scoring affair on October 28 for their fourth victory. The visiting Redhawks were down by five at the half but a strong defensive effort by the Blue Devils in the third quarter helped put the game away and Shirley closed out October with a 56 to 39 win. Shirley opened up November traveling to Conway to face the St. Joseph Bulldogs. The Blue Devils trailed at the half for the first time this season. The Devils turned it on in the third quarter both on offense and defense. Shirley outscored the Bulldogs 19 to 4 in the third and cruised to a 55 to 37 win and their fifth consecutive victory.

Fishing Report Central Arkansas
Lake Conway
Public's Opinion Sought on New Trout Rules A public survey has been placed online to gather comments before new trout fishing regulations for the Greers Ferry Tailwater are presented for approval at the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission’s next regular meeting Nov. 17. The AGFC Trout Management Program formulated a list of proposed regulations and presented them at last month's Commission meeting. Earlier this year, the Trout Management Program held a series of public meetings to revisit and revise the Greers Ferry Tailwater Management Plan. The plan calls for a regular review period including public involvement to ensure that the fishery is being managed with the expectations of the angling public in mind. The following
Page 13
regulation changes are being presented for public comment through Nov. 12: • Replace 16- to 24-inch protected slot limit for all trout species on Greers Ferry Tailwater with a five-fish-per-day limit where only one may be over 16 inches. • Enact a no culling rule for all trout species on Greers Ferry Tailwater. • Allow mobility-impaired anglers to fish downstream of wooden vehicle bridge in JFK Park. • Convert the JFK and Mossy Special Regulations Areas into year-round catchand-release areas. • Convert the Cow Shoals Seasonal Catch-andRelease Area into a year-round catchand-release area. • Clarify the sunset/sunrise times for Cow Shoals Catchand-Release Area.
(updated 11-22016) Bates Field and Stream (501-4701846) said water is stained and the surface temperature was 82 degrees. Water level is normal. Crappie fishing has been excellent in the lake. Crappie appear to be about 3-6 feet deep and are in good number around the Highway 89 bridge and in Gold Creek and Cain Creek. Anglers were using minnows and jigs. Bream are fair off the bottom using worms and crickets. Bass fishing is fair, with a good bite around the lily pads. Use plastic worms or topwater frogs. Catfishing is good with minnows and nightcrawlers around trees and on yo-yos and limb lines.
Greers Ferry
As of Wednesday, the Army Corps of Engineers reports the lake’s elevation at 459.80 feet msl (normal conservation pool – 461.44 msl). (updated 11-22016) Tommy Cauley of Fish Finder Guide Service said the water level at Greers Ferry Lake is at 459.81 feet and falling, the temp has stayed about the same mid70s to low 70s. The fishing overall is off and on when conditions are right. Still need rain and cooler weather to get everything going good, as the dew point is low. The bass are scattered from the sur-
face to 40 feet deep. Use a C-rig with a lizard or Senko working best deep, and spinnerbaits and small crank baits working shallow. In the middepths, go with a jig and jighead worm as well as drop shots. The bream are guarding fry and are pretty active from shallow out to about 30 feet; use crickets and crawlers. There are no reports on walleye. The catfishing is good all over the lake on several different methods with cut, live and prepared bait. As for crappie, some are still being caught on Road Runners and jigs with minnows in the pole timber or in and around brush piles, while some are just roaming like everything else out in the middle of nowhere in 12-40 feet of water. The hybrid and white bass are pretty good if you have some wind early and late in the day. It is sporadic; try using live bait, in-line spinners, spoons and swimbaits.
Little Red River (Greers Ferry Tailwater)
(updated 11-22016) Greg Seaton with Little Red Fly Fishing Trips (501690-9166) said afternoon generation remains the rule during the week with little or no generation on the weekend. Warmer weather has increased demand, so the generation during the week has increased slightly. The river remains clear and water tem-

perature is good. With cooler temps in the forecast, times and amounts of generation may change, so it would be wise to check projected generation before your trip. The brown trout are beginning to move, with more browns being caught the last couple of days. Greg said he has not seen any spawning activity, but the brown bite is improving and he is seeing more browns moving on the shoals He has seen some rainbows spawning on a couple of the shoals. Small flies (midge pupas and pheasant tails) still seem to be the most productive, with midge hatches in the morning and blue wing olive mayfly hatches in the afternoon. Combine these with light tippet in the clear water and the chances of success improve.
Lake Maumelle
(updated 112-2016) Jolly Roger’s Marina reported good black bass are biting on wacky rig worms and spinnerbaits both early in the morning and late in the day. Blacks can be caught in 3-8 feet just off the weeds. The cooler weather has activated the bass. Roger suggests trying shallow lures and spinnerbaits. Kentucky bass fishing has been excellent and are being caught on crankbaits and jigs. They are being found in 4-9 feet of water. They are mixed in
with the black bass. White bass are good. Use Rooster Tails. CC Spoons and deep diving Bandits and Bombers. They seem to be all over the lake. Reports of catches are coming from the east end right off the point on CC Spoons, white jigs and Rooster Tails when schooling. The crappie are very good right now. They are being caught on crappie minnows and with chartreuse and white jigs with a very light line. Crappie are in 15-20 feet depth; try the edge of the channels and on the old road beds. Lots of 6- to 9-inch crappie are being caught, so it should be a great winter fishing. Bream are good and can be found at 15 feet on the bottom. They are being caught on crickets and live worms. Catfishing is good. The catfish are being caught in 15-20 feet of water and are being caught on stink bait, small bream and chicken livers. Catfish in the 30-pound range are very common for Lake Maumelle.
Arkansas River (Morrilton)
(updated 11-22016) Charlie’s Hidden Harbor at Oppelo (501-354-8080) said flows in the river pool are coming down, but because of hunting, few people are fishing. Black bass were fair on a Red Bug in 2-4 feet of water in the backwater areas.
