“Just Roll with It” Serving up Recipes and Humor

By Sheri Hopkins
Lifestyle Contributor

Hello everyone! We have had a little cold snap this week and plenty of rain. Everyone’s garden needed the rain.

This week, I am going to talk about my sweet momma. If you knew her, you knew that she would give you the shirt off her back. When you went to visit, you never left empty handed. She had to send something home with you. Could be a box of cereal, Little Debs, package of meat, something had to come home with you. She always had ample supply of new towels and sheets. If you didn’t want any of that then she would try to send you home with some of her knick knacks. Face the fact, you were leaving there with something. That all being said, she also was always helping someone in need by taking them food or taking them somewhere if they didn’t have a car. After my dad passed, my granny Morgan (my dad’s mom) would come and stay with us weeks at a time. Between her and my mom, I’m surprised they didn’t give away the kitchen sink.

One time I came home from work and granny was there for one of her visits and there is a strange young man there. To keep this story short, this is what happened. He was walking down Highway 71 in front of our house and I’m sure my mom was outside and started talking to him and before ya know it, he’s in the house being fed and ends up staying three days there with us and then they sent him on his way with a little cash and a full belly. I’m not making this up, it’s a true story. They didn’t know him from Adam, he could have knocked us all in the head, or worse. He didn’t and I’m sure at the end of third day he was ready to head out because they also made sure he knew all about the Lord.

That is not the only time we had visitors. This particular story is where mom gets me involved. We had a neighbor that lived up the road and she came down one night and asked mom to ride with her to Fort Smith to a beer joint, a.k.a Melody Lounge. Her husband hadn’t come home, and she needed help finding him. My mom wasn’t about to go, so she says, “sis ride with her to town to help her find him.” Me?? I said “mom, I don’t want to go.” She was persistent, yes you need to go with her so she won’t be by herself. So, I load up and we head to the Melody Lounge. I flat refuse to go inside. I told her I would sit in the car and wait for her to find her man. Keep in mind, she parks in the alley, so I’m in the car with the doors locked waiting for her to find her man. We didn’t find her husband, and we sent half the night looking in all the local beer joins. We finally make it home and I’m mad at my mom for making me endure all that nonsense.

That’s not the only time she did something crazy to me. One time a young couple was walking down Highway 71 and they needed a ride to Waldron, so here we go again. I’m loading them up and taking two complete strangers to Waldron that I have never laid eyes on before. Yes, they turned out to be a little crazy. I dumped them out and took off like a scalded dog and headed home. It’s a wonder I wasn’t murdered back in the 80’s from all the crazy things she got me into. I laugh about it now, but at the time it wasn’t funny. I lived to tell about it all and so you get to hear it now.

This week’s recipe is Ranch Potato Salad. This is delicious if you want to cook some burgers and dogs on the grill. It makes a good side dish.

RANCH POTATO SALAD
2 pounds red potatoes (cut into 1-inch pieces) You can leave the peeling on if you like it like that.
2 cups sour cream
1 1 oz. package of dry Ranch dressing mix (I use Hidden Valley, but you can use any kind)
Pepper to taste
1 1/2 cups of shredded sharp cheddar cheese
14-16 slices of bacon cooked and crumbled (I use the real bacon pieces already cooked)
1 cup thinly sliced green onions
Cook the potatoes until they are tender. You can check those with a fork. Drain the potatoes and run under cool water. Make sure they are all drained and let sit to dry for a minute or so. Meanwhile, mix the ranch dressing with the sour cream. Whisk until smooth. Cook the bacon and chop coarsely or use the real bacon pieces. Place the cooled potatoes in a large bowl, add the chopped bacon, shredded cheese and sliced green onions. Pour the dressing over everything and gently stir to combine. Add pepper to taste. You can add your favorites also, like a few chopped olives or a red pepper for some color. Keep in the refrigerator. Enjoy with your burgers and dogs. Have a great week everyone!

Timepiece: Fads

Timepiece: Fads

By Dr. Curtis Varnell

Clackers, hula hoops, pet rocks, and the rubric cubes. What do they have in common? They are all a part of Americana we call fads or crazes. Crazes might be the best term for it since the term is closest to crazy which best explains why we continually get pulled into these off-beat activities that have little to do with ever-day life. A fad is a type of group behavior which people enthusiastically follow on impulse, usually for a short period of time.

Most of us deny being affected by these impulses, that is until we take time to recall our childhood. How many of us danced (or tried to) the Macarena, bruised our arms trying to rattle the clackers, or spent hours trying to solve the rubric cube. Some of my generation paid ten dollars for a pet rock that contained a genuine birth certificate, poured ice cold water over our head during the ice bucket challenge, or donned our heads with a coonskin Davy Crocket hat.

The one fad we probably don’t want to explain to our kids or grandkids is probably the streaking fad of the 1970’s. Running around naked and in public was one of the biggest and strangest fads to ever hit America. The peak years were 1973 and 1974 as the fad caught on among college students across the nation. Not surprising since it started during the winter months, it first became popular in the South. A small event at the University of Georgia ended up attracting over fifteen hundred people in a mass streak. Streaking during sporting events continued through the summer of 1973 with police chasing unrobed individuals across baseball and football fields throughout America.

Always a little behind times, streaking hit the Arkansas campuses in 1974. Ray Stephens had just came out with his wildly successful hit, “The Streak.” Springtime was arriving on the campuses across the state and the fad was in full swing. Married while still a college student, my wife and I obtained tickets to the Anne Murray concert held at old Stroupe Hall at ATU. Murray was an up and coming country star with her hits, Snow Bird and Danny’s Song and she put on a classic performance. During the show, she made jokes about streaking and mentioned that UCA students had recently held a “streak.”

“What’s going on exclaimed my wife, noticing hundreds of students lined up along the main street of ATU’s campus as we exited the building. All I could answer was the lines from Stephens hit, “Don’t look Ethel.” Just like in the song, it was too late! Several boys, most very obviously overweight, were running down the middle of the street wearing nothing but a smile and a pair of tennis shoes. With hundreds of gawkers cheering them on, dozens more joined the escapade. Police cars could be heard in the distance but they were having a difficult time getting through the crowded streets. Tugging my wife behind me, we soon had the blue lights, campus, and Russellville in my rear-view mirror.

The following day, friends told me the rest of the story. Police arrested several but, given the numbers involved, soon surrendered and let the streak continue as long as they stayed on campus. The 1974 annual catalogues some of the events; photos of young students running to escape capture, young men with hastily thrown towels around their waists after arrest, and various other shots. A group of young men decided to by-pass the dorm mom and build a human pyramid and enter the second floor of the building. Whether by accident or on purpose, my young friend who was topping the pyramid was dumped unceremoniously from the top of the pyramid. Grabbing the only support nearby, he grasped a large holly bush and proceeded to

tumble through its various branches and sharp prickly leaves. Adorned with the thorns and leaves and nothing else, his streaking days were over.

Streaking, on campus and country-wide gradually subsided leaving only some embarrassed participants and funny memories. Telling your kids, “don’t do something just because everyone else is,” may be good advice but every generation leaves memories of when we did just that!

Main Street Paris Receives 2023 Main Street America Accreditation

Main Street Paris has been designated as an Accredited Main Street America™ program for meeting rigorous performance standards. Each year, Main Street America and its partners announce the list of Accredited programs to recognize their exceptional commitment to
preservation-based economic development and community revitalization through the Main Street
Approach™.

“We are very proud to acknowledge this year’s 862 Accredited Main Street America programs, and their steadfast dedication to nurture economically and culturally vibrant downtown districts,” said Hannah White, Interim President & CEO of Main Street America. “The increase in the size and impact of our network speaks volumes to the power of the Main Street movement to respond to the needs of local communities and drive innovative solutions.”

In 2022, Main Street America programs generated $6.2 billion in local reinvestment, helped open 7,657 net new businesses, facilitated the creation of 29,174 net new jobs, catalyzed the rehabilitation of 10,688 historic buildings, and leveraged 1,528,535 volunteer hours. On average, for every dollar that a Main Street program spent to support their operations, it generated $24.07 of new investment back into their downtown communities.

Collectively, 2 million people live or work within the boundaries of designated Main Street America
districts. An estimated workforce of 1.1 million people contribute their skills and expertise to advancing the missions of these historic downtowns and commercial corridors.

The performance of Main Street Paris is annually evaluated by Main Street Arkansas, which works in partnership with Main Street America to identify the local programs that meet rigorous national
performance standards. To qualify for Accreditation status, communities must meet a set of rigorous standards that include commitments to building grassroots revitalization programs, fostering strong public-private partnerships, nurturing economic opportunity for small businesses and entrepreneurs, and actively preserving historic places, spaces, and cultural assets.

Ten new businesses moved into the Paris Main Street District during 2022. The organization offered grants for facade improvements, free design services and a business forum for owners, in addition to updating the information kiosk and upgrading street signs throughout downtown. Main Street Paris created a brand, built a website (mainstreetparis.com) and significantly increased its social media reach.

The organization would not be possible without its volunteer Board of Directors and others performing 579 hours of unpaid work valued at $14,000.

“Accreditation through Main Street America affords Main Street Paris grant money, as well as a myriad of educational opportunities to help us support the prosperity of downtown Paris. It’s an honor to be part of the national movement to nurture downtown districts.” -Heather Mayes, Executive Director, Main Street Paris

Attracting Pollinators to your Yard

Attracting Pollinators to your Yard

A garden will be nothing without pollinators’ help. Getting them into your garden is an important part of gardening.

Pollinators are namely several bugs, birds, and beyond! Bees, hummingbirds, butterflies, beetles, dragonflies, moths, bats, and birds may all act as pollinators. The wide variety of species that can help your garden is a good thing! Pollinators play a very important role in the reproduction of plants. When pollinators move between plants they carry the pollen with them which contain genetic materials necessary for fruits and vegetables. 

There are several ways to attract these helpful creatures to your garden.

Start buy choosing native plants to place in your garden. These are going to grow best in your area as well as give the pollinators a source of food they need. Sometimes non-native species don’t provide as adequate of a food source.

Plant in large batches, the more similar plants there are in a space allows the pollen to be spread easily to the plants that need that genetic material.

It’s also a good idea to provide other food and water sources for these little helpful friends. A hummingbird feeder may be visited by a bee or butterfly on its way to or from the garden. A bird bath can provide the necessary water for the pollinators.

Gardening season is such an exciting time of year! Attracting the helpful bugs and birds who aid in the process is important. 

Ways Beekeepers Can Protect Themselves From Bee Stings

Ways Beekeepers Can Protect Themselves From Bee Stings

Beekeeping is a fascinating and rewarding hobby, but it also comes with some risks. One of the main dangers of beekeeping is getting stung by bees. While most beekeepers accept that bee stings are an inevitable part of the job, there are steps that they can take to protect themselves from the discomfort and potential danger they create. In this blog, we’ll discuss some of the ways beekeepers can protect themselves from bee stings.

Wear Protective Clothing

Here’s one of the most important beekeeping safety tips every keeper needs to know: wear protective gear at all times! Whenever you’re working around or handling your hive, you should wear a beekeeping suit, gloves, and a hat with a veil. A beekeeping suit has a thick mesh material that prevents bees from stinging through the fabric. Gloves and a hat with a veil provide additional protection for the hands, face, and neck.

Use Smoke

Smoke is a useful tool that beekeepers use to calm bees and reduce the likelihood of stings. Smoke disrupts the communication system between bees, making them less aggressive. When working with a hive, you can use a smoker to blow smoke around the hive entrance and into the hive to calm the bees.

Work During the Daytime

It’s best to work with bees during the day when they’re less aggressive and less likely to sting. You should also avoid working with bees during the hottest part of the day since this is when they’re most active.

Maintain a Calm Demeanor

You should remain calm and avoid sudden movements when working with bees. Sudden movements or loud noises can startle bees and cause them to become aggressive. Move slowly and deliberately when working with your hives to avoid agitating the bees.

Use Essential Oils

Some beekeepers use essential oils, such as eucalyptus, lavender, and lemon balm, to repel bees. You can apply these oils to your skin or clothing to keep bees away. However, it’s important to note that some essential oils can also attract bees, so test a small amount of the oil before using it.

Properly Handle Beehives

When handling beehives, you should take care to avoid crushing or injuring the bees. Squished or injured bees release pheromones that can attract other bees and increase the likelihood of stings. Use proper lifting techniques and avoid placing hives in areas where things can disrupt them to keep your bees safe and happy.

Don’t let persistent stingers keep you from doing your job! By following these tips for protecting yourself from bee stings, you can enjoy your hobby without fear of getting jabbed.

Kentucky Escapes Series Sweep with 3-1 Win Over Arkansas on Sunday

LEXINGTON, KY – No. 12 Arkansas’ (34-13) six-game win streak was snapped Sunday afternoon as No. 20 Kentucky (27-15-1) won the series finale, 3-1, at John Cropp Stadium. The Razorbacks swept Saturday’s doubleheader to win their 11th straight SEC road series and their first in Lexington since 2008. 

Arkansas moves to 34-13 overall and 11-7 in league play. 

The Razorbacks remained in striking distance throughout the ballgame but couldn’t put together a timely hit to trim Kentucky’s miniscule lead.  

Arkansas did not give up a run over the last four innings. Both teams scattered six hits on the day. 

Raigan Kramer and Rylin Hedgecock singled in the top of the first but were left stranded on first and second. The Wildcats then claimed a 2-0 lead in the bottom frame on a two-run home run. 

Kentucky scored its final run in the bottom of the second on an RBI single for a 3-0 lead. 

Cylie Halvorson and Rylin Hedgecock began the fourth with back-to-back singles but the ‘Cats retired three in a row to calm the threat. 

Redshirt senior RHP Chenise Delce (17-5) provided a spark for Arkansas after entering the circle in the bottom of the fourth. In addition to retiring all nine batters she faced, Delce struck out seven of nine to raise her season punchout count to 152. 

Launching the fifth home run of her sophomore campaign, Kacie Hoffmann cut the deficit to 3-1 in the fifth. 

Hoffmann did not back down again in the seventh. With two outs, Hoffmann cracked an infield single to keep Arkansas’ comeback bid alive. 

Kentucky then forced a ground out to avoid the sweep. 

Rylin Hedgecock and Kacie Hoffmann paced Arkansas offensively with two hits each. Hoffmann was responsible for Arkansas’ lone run – a solo home run in the fifth. Cylie Halvorson and Raigan Kramer both finished 1-for-3.  

Junior LHP Callie Turner (6-2) suffered the loss. In her 11th start, Turner spun 1.1 frames and gave up three runs on four hits while striking out one.  

Freshman LHP Robyn Herron (8-4) relieved Turner and went 1.2 innings. Herron limited Kentucky to two hits and did not give up a run. 

Taking over in the fourth, Chenise Delce was efficient and retired all nine batters she faced, striking out seven of nine.  

Notes 

  • Arkansas leaves Lexington with its 11th straight SEC road series win. 
  • The Hogs have won three consecutive series vs. Kentucky.  
  • The Razorbacks picked up their first series victory vs. Kentucky in Lexington since 2008.

Obituary – Raymond Leon Self (1942-2023)

Raymond Leon Self Sr., 81, of Waldron, Arkansas went to be with his Lord and Savior, Friday, April 21, 2023 in Hot Springs, Arkansas surrounded by his loving family. Raymond was born February 6, 1942 to Roy and Sadie (Kopf) Self in Waldron, Arkansas. He was a member of the Waldron Church of Christ for 44 years.

Raymond was married to Gwenda for 44 loving years. Together they raised seven amazing children and played a huge role in the lives of their grandchildren and great grandchildren. Raymond enjoyed all things outdoors – riding his beloved horses and hunting were among his favorites, but his kids would say hunting was just an excuse to be outside, leaning against a tree and eating peanuts. He loved working with his hands and often doing carpentry, tinkering around the farm or planting in his garden. Raymond was quite the jokester; always playing pranks, telling jokes or being silly just to make others smile. He loved his family more than anything and those special memories made will forever be a treasure to every life he’s touched.

Raymond leaves behind to cherish his memory, his wife Gwenda; seven children: Lisa McEntire of Greenwood, Arkansas; Melinda Hutchens of Waldron, Arkansas; Carrie Rose and husband Stuart of Fort Smith, Arkansas; Ninna Chapel and husband Bobby of Benton, Arkansas; Amanda Holland of Mobile, Alabama; RL Self and wife Tasha of Waldron, Arkansas and Hala Evans and husband Travis of Parks, Arkansas. Papa will forever remain in the hearts of his 21 grandchildren: Bradley Rhyne, Chelsea Slate, Taylor McEntire, Daniel McEntire, Maggie Hutchens, Shauna White, Casey O`Mara, Allison Rose, Sydney Hudgens, Kristin BeLue, Tori Chapel, Spencer Chapel, Savannah Holland, Logan Holland, Kolton Holland, Avery Self, Adysen Self, Hunter Evans, Gage Evans, Karlie Evans and Gunner Evans and he was blessed with many great grandchildren and a host of nieces and nephews. 

Raymond was preceded in death by his parents Roy and Sadie Self; grandchildren: Emily Hutchens, Zachary McEntire and Christopher Zimmer; siblings: RD Self, Evaleta Thomas, Pauline Mitchell, Athadean Weir and Robbie Marie.
