Timepiece: Music and the Delta

By Dr. Curtis Varnell

The fields stretched forever, flat and baking in the summer sun.  In the distance a line of trees demarcated a property boundary or the edge of a drainage canal.  The smell drifting through the open car window emanated mixed brews of wet vegetation, bug spray, and spent petroleum.  Country homes surrounded by huge sheds containing tractors, harvesters, and farm trailers dotted the landscape and, in the distance huge silos containing rice, cotton seed, or other products indicated the presence of a small town or community.  The Mississippi delta, home to the blues, country singers and rock-a-billy music.  

An amazing number of famous musicians and singers came from this region of Arkansas, many of them of the country and western variety.  Johnny Cash, Glen Campbell, Charlie Rich all hail from the delta and Conway Twitty was raised in Helena.  Legendary soul singer Al Greene was born to sharecroppers in Forrest City, Arkansas.  He won 11 Grammy Awards and is 14thin Rolling Stones list of greatest singers of all time. One of his biggest hits, “Let’s Stay Together,” remains a classic even to this day.

Not as well-known is the fact that Arkansas has turned out some of the biggest names in rock and rock-a-billy music.  Black Oak Arkansas and Jim Dandy are icons but possibly the best known is Mark Lavon Helms, born near Elaine, Arkansas in 1940.  

Before playing drums and singing with The Band, Levon was born Mark Lavon Helm near Elaine, Arkansas in 1940.  His parents were cotton farmers and the actual community he grew up in was known as Turkey Scratch.  His parents encouraged him to learn to play music and, although best known as a drummer, he could play virtually any instrument having strings.  Growing up he listened to a variety of music ranging from the Grand Ole Opera to R&B, all eventually contributing to his eclectic style of music.  Helms lived through a period of time where he witnessed some of the earliest performances of Elvis Presley, Conway Twitty, and Bo Diddly.  

After graduating high school, he joined a Canadian group called the Hawks and changed his name to Levon.  He traveled across the country performing at various venues with varying success. He became most famous working as the back-up band for Bob Dylan and began writing and performing their own songs; becoming known simply as “the Band.”  The Band relied heavily on Helm’s talent as a singer as well as drummer. One of his most played songs, The Night They Drove Old Dixie Downwas written during this time.

Levon was one of those men most known for those who worked and performed with.  He was greatly respected and was friends with many of the biggest names in the music world.  Elton John referred to him in the song, Levon.  He performed and rubbed shoulders with Charlie Daniels, Emmylou Harris, Elvis Costello, Ringo Starr, Bob Dylan and others.  In 1980, he played Loretta Lynn’s father in Coal Miner’s Daughter.  He later played roles in several films including The Right Stuff.  

My drummer friend, Tom McGuire got to know Levon in his later years.  He described him as a humble man who was never ashamed of his roots but also as a man that you would want on your side in a fight.  Multi-talented, he performed right up till the time of his death.

Why so much talent coming from the delta?  Farming is a difficult life, especially if you’re working poor.  Lyrics from Helms’ song Growing Trade, “ I worked the land to raise a family, Till I was weary to the bone, But hard labor never bothered me, Lord it’s all I’ve ever known.” Music provides a relief and a way to escape the drudgery of a life often steeped in poverty.  Levon left but was and always will be a man of the delta. 

Pedestrian Struck, Killed in Logan County

The truck was traveling east on Highway 22, west of Subiaco. Fredrick walked into the east traffic lane and was struck.

The name of the driver was not released.

AGFC works with private landowners to open new water for angling 

By Randy Zellers

Anglers looking for a new honey hole may be able to score some fishing time at a few new private waters this year, thanks to three landowners who joined the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission’s Public Access to Private Waters initiative.

Public access to water is abundant in Arkansas, but there’s always room to add a few more places to wet a line in The Natural State, so the AGFC developed a practice in its new Conservation Incentive Program to do just that.

Six of the nine practices in the AGFC’s Conservation Incentive Program focus on land management efforts landowners can use to improve the quality of wildlife habitat on their property, but three had fisheries-based components. The Public Access to Private Waters practice is the only incentive targeted at expanding access for fishing.

“It really serves two purposes,” Vic DiCenzo, assistant chief of the AGFC’s Fisheries Division said. “People who win a permit have access to a fishery that receives very little, if any pressure. And the landowner gets help with managing their fishery.”

DiCenzo explained that many private ponds can become crowded with too many predators, stunting the whole population.

“There are a lot of bass-heavy ponds that need more harvest, but the landowner can’t keep up with the number of fish that need to be removed,” DiCenzo said. “Anglers who win one of these permits will be able to harvest fish at statewide limits and help balance the fishery.”

In addition to the added harvest, landowners will receive technical assistance on how they can best manage their water, including advice on topics such as stocking rates, fertilization, water-quality issues and shoreline stabilization.

“We can’t stock the lakes directly, but we can offer the expertise on how much and what to stock,” DiCenzo said.

Anglers can gain access through a drawn permit system similar to the one used for the AGFC’s extremely successful Waterfowl Rice Incentive Conservation Enhancement Program.

Descriptions of each available private access can be found at Public Access to Private Waters. To apply for one of the sites, visit agfc.com/licenses and click the “Fishing” Category. The CIP-Public Access to Private Fishing Waters Permit will be one of the options available. Permits are valid for a full Saturday-Sunday period, and applications are available Thursday-Sunday the weekend immediately before the one being applied for. Applications cost $5 each, and permit winners are notified each Monday to begin preparing for their weekend. Access does not include any camping or hunting privileges and permit holders must remove all belongings and litter from the area upon their departure.

This practice of the Conservation Incentive Program is a shared component of the AGFC’s Fisheries Division and Private Lands Habitat Division. The program is funded by set aside finds from the 2023 Arkansas General Assembly.

“We appreciate our partners in the Arkansas General Assembly and Arkansas Legislative Council expressing their support for this program and approving the transfer of funds to make this possible,” Garrick Dugger, Private Lands Habitat Division chief, said. “Their continued support is vital to the success of our mission.”

In Scott County, the Mansfield Police Department issued 20 citations, 25 violations, one felony and one misdemeanor warrant. In Sebastian County, the department issued 13 citations and 17 violations. Chief Robb stated his department has a total of 86 training hours.

Public Works Director Derek Pollard reported that his department had completed 107 service orders, 30 One Call requests, located and repaired two water leaks, completed repairs on Franklin Street, and removed dead trees by the city park next to city hall.

In matters of unfinished business, the members of the council heard a positive report on the wastewater plant, and that the Hartford flow meter had been installed, and calibrated accurately to reflect correct readings.

In matters of new business, the council was informed that R&R Pipeline will be working for AOG and will begin in the Fairfax Street area. Also, that the last week of July, there will be a sewer smoke test. Lastly, that one of the police vehicles, a Dodge Charger, is no longer running. The council took no action on the matter.

Before adjourning, Mayor Black stated that the Fourth of July event was a great success.
