James Fork Water Board Votes to Increase Water Rates

James Fork Water Board Votes to Increase Water Rates

Cities across Sebastian County recently met to discuss a letter from James Fork Regional Water, informing them of a increase in water rates. The letter was preceded by a visit from JFRW General Manager Jeff Pyles to discuss the reasoning behind the increase.

Cities within our coverage area, including, Bonanza, Milltown-Washburn, Huntington, Hackett, Greenwood, Mansfield, are Hartford, are all water suppliers with James Fork.

The rates for James Fork’s largest contract customer, the City of Greenwood, will be considered by the water commission before any recommendations will be made to the council for approval. Mayor Kinslow noted that they have received the notification from James Fork, but have had no formal meeting to date.

“We will have to increase our rates,” shared Mansfield Mayor Buddy Black. “The questions is, by how much? … We will be having a study session at Mansfield City Hall on Thursday, August 3 at 11 a.m. to discuss it. At a later date, we will need to have a rate study done.”

It will be up to the bulk water distributors to determine the rate and timeline for which customers will see an increase.

“James Fork Regional Water District has enacted rate modifications for all municipalities to which it supplies water,” shared Pyles. “This increase comes after much consideration and an intensive internal study into water rates. While the cost of producing water has steadily risen over the past twenty years, there has been a sharp rise over the past ten years as inflation and other economic factors have provided additional challenges to James Fork Regional Water District. Over the past 50 years that the James Fork Regional Water District has served the area, the bulk water rate has lagged behind after each system rate increase. James Fork has chosen to adjust the bulk water rate to align more closely to cost to produce water and the residential customer rate. The staff at James Fork Regional Water District remains committed to providing safe high-quality water to all our residential customers and to the surrounding communities that we serve.”

We will continue to follow this story and update our readership on how these increases will affect you, the customer.

Paris Football Travels to Magazine for Preseason Scrimmage on August 15

MAGAZINE- The Magazine Rattlers will host the Paris Eagles on Tuesday, August 15, in a preseason, controlled scrimmage. The scrimmage will be a formal tune-up for both teams before the start of the 2023 high school football season.

The Eagles will open their season during the Arkansas Activities Association’s “Zero Week” on August 25th when they host the Waldron Bulldogs at Eagles Stadium. Magazine will open their season on the same date when they travel to Mansfield to play the Tigers.

Both Magazine and Paris return large numbers of players from a year ago. According to Hooten’s Arkansas Football publication, Magazine is “returning 90 percent of last year’s production.” Paris, playing this year with just three seniors, will be a young team comprised of several players who received significant playing time last year combined with a talented group of players that have moved up from their junior high program a year ago.

The night’s schedule will begin with a junior high scrimmage starting at 6 p.m. with the senior high scrimmage immediately following. Both schools will want to put their players in game simulated conditions while looking to avoid any possible injuries that could affect the start of the season.

Magazine finished the season a year ago with a record of 3-7, while Paris finished at 1-8. Both programs are looking to improve on last year’s record as they continue to develop young talent from a year ago.

RNN Sports will be there for both scrimmages to bring you the action in pictures. Also, watch for our preseason football special in the RNN Logan / Franklin County weekly newspaper the week of August 18. You won’t want to miss it!

And if you have not already subscribed, it is a great time to do so with the start of high school football and volleyball seasons! To subscribe, just go to residentnewsnetwork.com/subscribe

We look forward to seeing you in Magazine on August 15th!

How To Increase the Bee Population in Your Community

How To Increase the Bee Population in Your Community

Bee populations are declining worldwide due to habitat loss, pesticides, and climate change. Because of these three troubling problems, our plants are at stake. All the pollen collected from plants helps foster the growth of fruits and vegetables; without our pollinators, our favorite foods may be scarce to the point they’re non-existent. You can learn how to improve the bee population in your community by reading this blog.

Provide Water Sources

Bees are like us in some ways, such as needing water to survive. Access to water is vital for bees, especially for colonies calling urban areas home. You can improve water access for your buzzy neighbors by filling a shallow container with water and placing pebbles around to blend it with the community garden. The stones also give bees a place to land while they drink without the risk of drowning.

Create Nesting Sites for Bees

Bees are innovative creatures; the queen bee lays eggs in honeycombs during the winter, but they also lay eggs in the ground. Over 20,000 bee species lay eggs in underground nests. However, other species nest aboveground. You can create a secure bee nesting site by building a “bee hotel” from wood blocks, arranged logs or sticks, and hollow reeds. Place these nesting pods in a sunny area with tons of flora nearby.

Educate the Community About Bees

Many in the community aren’t aware of the vitality of bees in our ecosystem and the problems they face. Educating your friends, family, and neighbors about the importance of bees and what they can do to help is essential. Consider organizing a community event like a bee-friendly garden workshop or community planting day.

Plant a Pollinator Garden

One of the easiest ways to increase the bee population in your community is by creating a pollinator garden. A pollinator garden is essential because it helps the reproduction of fruits, vegetables, and flowers throughout the year. You can create your bee-friendly garden by adding sunflowers, lavender, and bee balm. Try native plants, as they attract more bees and require less maintenance. Be sure to plant various flowers that bloom at different times of the year to provide bees with a continuous food source.

Limit Pesticide Use

Overuse of pesticides can hurt the bee population. The effects of pesticides harm the global bee population by modifying their ability to navigate, reproduce, and learn. Control how much pesticide you use, such as only using it in the morning or evening when bees aren’t active or using a different pesticide with natural ingredients. Try using other organic pest control methods, like adding ladybugs or lacewings to your garden.

We can create a richer ecosystem by focusing on rebuilding insect and animal populations, starting with the bee colonies. By utilizing these steps, you can create a bee-friendly community garden that improves the bee population and produces fresh crops of fruits, vegetables, and flowers for all to enjoy.

Hogs’ Beaux Limmer Added to Preseason Outland Trophy Watch List

Hogs’ Beaux Limmer Added to Preseason Outland Trophy Watch List

FAYETTEVILLE– Arkansas’ Beaux Limmer has landed on the preseason watch list for the Outland Trophy, which is awarded annually to the nation’s most outstanding interior lineman. 

The Tyler, Texas, product is coming off a stellar 2022 season as the team’s starting right guard in the first 12 games before getting the nod at center in the AutoZone Liberty Bowl win over Kansas on Dec. 28. Limmer, who totaled a team-leading 983 offensive snaps, only gave up four sacks and was penalized just five times all season. Limmer earned Third Team All-America honors from Pro Football Focus and was named Second Team All-SEC by PFF and the AP. 

Behind Limmer’s blocking, the 2022 Razorback offense was historically productive, paving the way for 6,128 yards – the second-most in Arkansas history. The Hog run game averaged 236.7 yards per game and crossed the 3,000-yard mark for just the 10th time in school history. Arkansas set the school record for first downs in a single season with 311. 

Limmer is vying to become the third Razorback in history to win the award. Bill “Bud” Brooks and Loyd Phillips each won the Outland Trophy as college football’s most outstanding interior lineman in 1954 and 1966, respectively. 

The Outland Trophy winner is chosen from three finalists who are a part of the annual FWAA All-America Team. The FWAA All-America Committee, after voting input from the entire membership, selects a 26-man first team and eventually the three Outland finalists. Committee members, then by individual ballot, select the winner. Only interior linemen on offense or defense are eligible for the award; ends are not eligible. 

There are 31 offensive tackles on this year’s list with 24 defensive tackles and 24 guards to go with 12 centers. Just under half of the 133 Football Bowl Subdivision schools – 65 – are represented. 

Arkansas kicks off the season at 3 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 2, against FCS foe Western Carolina at War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock, Ark. Season tickets are on sale now and can be purchased by clicking here or by calling the Razorback Ticket Center at (479) 575-5151.
