Spoiler alert: Extension offers tips for food safety this summer

By Tracy Courage
U of A System Division of Agriculture

Memorial Day kicks off the unofficial start of summer and the season of barbecues, camp-outs and family gatherings. And it’s all fun — until the potato salad goes bad. Whatever is on your family’s summer agenda, don’t let food be the spoiler.

“The big issues in the summer are your usual suspects — mayonnaise and egg-based items, not cooking to the right internal temperatures, not washing hands, and leaving things sitting out too long,” said Nina Roofe, head of family and consumer sciences for the University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that 1 in 6 Americans get sick from a foodborne illness each year. With proper food handling, your family doesn’t have to be among those statistics. The key is to avoid cross-contamination and to cook and store food at proper temperatures.

Roofe offers these tips for food safety:

Avoid cross-contamination by using different cooking utensils and cutting boards for handling raw and cooked meats.
Wash your hands often.
Clean the grill before using to avoid contamination from the previous user.
Cook food thoroughly to a safe internal temperature. Don’t rely on color; check it with a food thermometer. Beef steaks, pork steaks and fish should be cooked to at least 145 degrees; sausage and other grounds meats to 160; and chicken to 165 degrees.
When storing foods, keep cold foods below 40 degrees.
Keep hot foods above 140 degrees.

“The danger zone of 40-140 degrees is where bacteria like to grow, so the less time food is kept in that temperature zone, the better,” Roofe said.

If you plan to camp, you can reduce the risk of food spoiling by prepare recipes in advance.

“Chop vegetables, measure ingredients and portion meats ahead of time,” Roofe said. “And don’t forget to pack a meat thermometer.”

Smith to Retire Following 37 Years in Education

The close of the 2023-2024 school year will mark the end of a 37-year career for Mansfield educator, Tina Smith.

Smith obtained a bachelor’s degree from Arkansas Tech in 1987, and a master’s degree from the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville in 1992. Her teaching career spans from a first-year high school math teacher at Dardanelle followed by nine years with the Waldron School District. Smith would go on to serve as assistant high school principal in Waldron for five more years, then as high school principal at Mansfield High School for an additional 11 years. Smith is concluding her career at Mansfield having served 11 years as federal programs/district test coordinator at Mansfield.

Tina Smith was joined by her family at a gathering in her honor on Monday evening, May 20. Back row, from left: Laura Smith, Mike Smith, Jared Smith, Alex Abernathy, and Chris Abernathy. Front row, from left: Everleigh Smith, Leighton Smith, Tina Smith, Taylor Abernathy, and Betsy Abernathy.

One of the highlights of her career, the initial opportunity to serve in administration at Waldron. Additionally, “signing the high school diploma of both of my children (2005 and 2010), moving with a crew of amazing teachers to the new Mansfield High School building in 2004, and being in the same district when my grandchildren started school at Mansfield.”

Smith’s former colleagues, family and friends hosted a celebration for her on Monday evening, May 20. The Mansfield School District also honored Smith with a retirement reception on Thursday, May 23.

The Mansfield School District hosted a retirement party for Tina Smith on Thursday, May 23. Pictured from left: Food Service Supervisor Sonia Norris, Assistant Federal Programs Coordinator Kim Arnold, Tina Smith, Cindy Fry, Carol Reano, and Superintendent Joe Staton.

Smith stated she looks forward to being able to participate in more church activities, including mission trips. “I will be a chauffeur for our grandchildren…and make lists of things for Michael Smith to do.”

Congratulations to Tina Smith on reaching this career milestone. No one is more deserving of time to enjoy all the blessings in life than she does!

Hartford Masonic Lodge Hosts Inaugural Eric “BigN” Lanman Memorial Poker Chip Run

On April 20th, 2024, the Hartford Masonic Lodge #609 hosted the inaugural Eric “BigN” Lanman Memorial Poker Chip Run for side by sides and other off-road vehicles.

The event took place at Poteau Mountain on the Belle Star Loop and was coordinated out of Yellow Dog Outfitters Lodge. There were 30 side by sides and one motorcycle at the event, which raised $4006.00!

“BigN” was a huge supporter of child and youth programs, so the Lodge voted to donate all of the money to programs of that nature.

Pictured from left: Eddie Ray-Superintendent Hackett Schools, Michael Freeman-Principal Hackett High School, Lonnie Hester-Assistant Principal Hackett High School, Dee Dee Griffey-Hackett High School Counselor Rachel Walker and Emily Bumpus.

On May 21,2024, Mrs. Emily Bumpus, and Mrs. Rachel Walker, (BigN’s daughters) presented a check to Mansfield Schools for $1,503.00 to be used toward unpaid student lunch debt. Then, they travelled to Hackett Schools and presented a check for $1,503.00 to go towards the meal and snack take home program.

The remaining $1,000.00 was given to a Brother Mason whose wife suffered a stroke recently while seven months pregnant and has been in the hospital since. The baby was taken 2 months early, but both are doing well.

This will become an annual event for Hartford Masonic Lodge #609 to carry on the legacy of Eric “BigN” Lanman’s support of the youth in our area.

Family Fighting for Adopted Son

Haiti has been experiencing a drastic increase in gang violence. From January to March there were 2,500 people killed, including 82 children. During that same period, at least 438 people were kidnapped for ransom. The United Nations reported 362,000 people have had to flee from their homes and children are at too great a risk to attend school.

Most orphans who have been adopted have already left Haiti, however there are approximately 70 who are stuck in the pathway of the civil unrest. Matt and Cara Smithson, pastor and wife at Mansfield First Baptist Church, have a son they have been approved to adopt from Haiti who has not been permitted to leave. Matt and Cara worked as missionaries in Haiti.

Kelly Dempsey and Nicole Skellenger attorneys for Fox Rothschild are representing 25 families who have adoptions approved by Haitian and US governments, but have been unable to get their children home to them. The problem is they are unable to obtain the passports and travel papers needed to get them out of Haiti and into the US.

The attorneys are working alongside the adoptive families and their respective Congressional representatives to obtain emergency humanitarian parole status from the US Department of State for these orphans.

The Smithsons are the only family in Arkansas who are affected. They are joined by many others across the country waiting, praying and working to have their children come home. The adoption of their son was official on July 10, 2023. Since then, they have been waiting anxiously to welcome their son home to the United States.

Cara Smithson has been using their social media page to share updates and how others can help. They are also sharing their journey on their family blog. She urged supporters, family, and friends to contact representatives to help draw attention the dire situation her son is facing in Haiti.

On May 15, she shared that the state department was beginning to take notice of all the calls they had received on behalf of the family. Their son hasn’t received the parole status they hope for, but the family has faith it will come.

By Dr. Curtis Varnell

Thumbing through the thick sheaf of papers in my hand, I felt as if I was touching history. Old enrollment papers, pay sheets, newspaper clippings, commendations, and medical reports lay scattered across my desk, a testament to one man’s patriotism and loyalty to his country. I knew the man only as my banker; a distinguished, bespectacled older man sitting behind the counter checking accounts and making decisions on loans.

Joseph (Joe) Fritchie was born into the small community of Shoal Creek in 1924. When World War 11 broke, the young 19-year old Joe felt compelled to do his part. First trained as an airplane mechanic and then later as a turret gunner, he was eventually assigned to the 449th bomber group that were assigned to the European Theater. The 449th was consisted of large aircraft that could each carry 67.6 tons of 500 pound bombs and were commonly known as the flying fortress. An identifying feature is the large clear bubble located near the front and above the cockpit area and contains a turret gunner operating a machine gun. Joseph was assigned this position and it was his duty to assist in protecting the large mammoth from attack by the smaller German attack planes.

On Feb. 22, 1944, his craft, nicknamed the Sleepy Time Gal, was one of 31 B-24’s assigned the task of destroying a munitions plant located in Steyr, Austria. Narrative report 30 that I hold in my hand describes the horror of that date. “Apparently the attack group was attacked by 30 to 40 German Aircraft. The twin aircraft attacked from the rear, out of our range, with rockets at 1,500 yards. They then closed with machine guns at 400 yards.” Craft #31 was seen to wing over, the plane fell out of formation and control. Ten crew members were aboard.”

Bullets punched through the bubble over Joseph. Realizing the engine was on fire, he tried to push the bubble shield up to escape only to discover it was jammed and his legs were not functioning properly. Only then did he realize that he had been shot through both legs. Dropping into the main part of the ship, he rolled himself out the door and opened his parachute. As he floated downward, the German aircraft flew toward him. Fearful that the pilot would shoot him, Fritchie pretended dead and the craft passed him by. When he reached the ground below, he was quickly captured by German troops and he and others were thrown into a covered truck, one he later discovered to be a truck carrying the dead. Seven of his crew members were killed in the attack; he found later five of them were buried in a common grave in Austria.

Taken to a hospital, he was treated for extensive damage and always felt it was a miracle that he survived without the aid of penicillin and other drugs. On the home front, the family was notified that he was missing and it was months before a letter finally reached them telling them he was a POW. The letters, some in German, are in the file.

Food was scarce in the POW camps and the men survived with the aid of care packages arriving from home. As the allies advanced, the prisoners were moved from one camp to another. On one occasion, the buildings he was in was strafed by allied fire. One of his captors, Gerhard Neitz bundled himself in a blanket doused in water and carried Joe and his comrades that couldn’t walk to safety. The file contains a letter from Neitz’s brother seeking help after the war was over. On another occasion, Joe and his friend Doug Hall of Mansfield were being transported from camp to camp on a train when allied planes bombed the train. The German guards fled but Joe and his friend stayed in the car, eating the sausage and bread deserted by their captors. Joe remained a captive for eleven months before being released. He then spent two years in a Shreveport Hospital being rehabilitated.

The files are extensive, the story only half-told but enough for me to understand why the men of that era are called the greatest generation. Many when asked if they would do it again said, as did Joe Fritchie, “I would do it again if my country needed me.” Joe proved it. In my hands is his document releasing him from military service on July 17, 1946 and another file showing his reentry into the USAF reserves on July 18, 1946. He served until July of 1949. On Memorial Day, let us not forget the price paid for our freedom or the men and women that made it happen.

Lady Tigers Row, Row, Row Their Boat Past Riverside to Win 2A State Championship

The Mansfield Lady Tigers won their first softball State Championship since 2012 on Saturday, May 18^th by defeating the Riverside Lady Rebels 4-2.

To play in a State Championship game is big. To win a State Championship is even bigger. The fact that Riverside defeated the Lady Tigers 1-0 last season in the Championship game, that it’s been over a decade since Mansfield has won a softball State Championship, that the Lady Tigers had lost in the Championship game the past two consecutive seasons, and that it took extra innings to win this past Saturday, well, you’ll need to break out the ole dictionary to find more words to express how BIG of a victory it was.

The game was a pitcher’s duel for the first four innings as Mansfield’s, Alyson Edwards, faced off against Riverside’s 2023 Championship MVP, Klaire Womack. Neither top tier pitcher was going to allow their opponent’s batters to just ease their way around the bases. It seemed like a repeat of the 2023 Championship game as the game stood scoreless up until the bottom of the fifth inning. The Lady Tigers held a runner on all three bases as Trinity Triska stepped to the plate. Triska, who is known for her quiet demeanor, eyed each Riverside pitch perfectly to earn a walking trip to first base. This allowed the walk home for the Lady Tigers third base runner to set Mansfield up with a 1-0 lead. It didn’t take long for Riverside to catch up though, as the Lady Rebels tied the game on an RBI single. Riverside had a chance to walk their way in for a win in the bottom of the seventh with a runner on second and two outs. The Lady Rebels hit a speedy ground ball directly at shortstop Kynslee Ward. Ward zipped the ball to first baseman Ambria Whittaker, who edged the Riverside runner to gain the out at first base. There was very little denim left on the back pockets of fans in the stands for neither Mansfield nor Riverside in this edge of the seat thriller. But going into extra innings, the fans left their seats entirely to watch this one go down to the wire.

The Lady Tigers again sent Trinity Triska to the plate first and the payoff was huge as the silent assassin quickly scored on an error to break the tie on the scoreboard. The Lady Tigers hit a wall shortly after, though, as Riverside landed a one-two punch taking two Lady Tigers out. A one run lead isn’t anything to hang your hat on for any team, but Mansfield was “Whitty,” and it came down to being in a pinch. Ambria Whittaker headed to the batter’s box with what could have been the game on the line. Unfazed by the pressure, Whittaker popped up a single into left field which allowed two Lady Tigers to roll in for a score. If anyone thought the game was all over with a 4-1 score, then they don’t know anything about Riverside softball. With two outs in the books, the Lady Rebels cut the 4-1 lead of Mansfield down to 4-2 with an impressive RBI single. Now that Riverside was charging back, it all boiled down to the arm of Mansfield’s All-State, All-Star pitcher, Alyson Edwards. If the future University of Nebraska-Omaha pitcher could close out the game against Riverside’s final batter, then she’d forever cement herself into Mansfield softball lore. If not, then Riverside would remain a threat to defeat the Lady Tigers for the second straight year. Edwards didn’t hesitate to seize the opportunity as she downed the final batter to engrave the Lady Tigers name into the 2024 2A Arkansas Softball State Championship trophy.

While Edwards was deservingly named the game’s MVP by throwing a total of 153 pitches, 15 strikeouts and only allowing one earned run in eight innings on three hits, she’ll be the first to tell you that it wasn’t her who won the game, it was the Lady Tigers team as a whole. Over the course of 2024, the Lady Tigers replaced their entire outfield and saw new faces at first base and as catcher. Bosting only five seniors, the Lady Tigers had a relatively young team roster wise. Seniors Alyson Edwards, Kynslee Ward, Kinley Vanmeter, Harlie Fuller, and Cole Smith have made Mansfield Softball a statewide name over the past few years as the seniors have obtained a 90-18 overall record, four Conference Championships, four District Championships, three Regional Championships, two State Runner-Up trophies, and the State Championship over their four-year careers. Although these excellent seniors will no longer be on the team in 2025, the youthful Mansfield group left behind have proven that they have what it takes to continue the Mansfield Lady Tigers softball name of excellence into the future.
