“Just Roll with It” Serving up Recipes and Humor

By Sheri Hopkins
Lifestyle Contributor

Hello everyone! Sorry I missed last week, I had a wedding to cater. My great-neice got married. I cooked all the food and enjoyed every minute of it. She was a beautiful bride!

The article about my funeral was a big hit, but I failed to mention one thing. Curtis Feimster is singing at my funeral. I hope he can hold it together long enough to sing. I know he will be so torn up.

Fall is in the air. The mornings and nights are cool and crips. I love this time of year.

I have been getting ready for my big Halloween bash. Everyone knows I give out full-size candy and have tons of trick-or-treaters. I love seeing all the kids dressed up.

My son, Jacob, y’all know the one that I was in 15 hours of labor with? He never wanted to dress up for Halloween. I literally had to make him. He would throw fits, try to refuse and I would make him. Mean mom! The last time I got him to dress up, he was Danny Zuko from Grease. I hope his children, if he ever has any, want to dress to the nines for Halloween, just to drive him crazy.

Do ya’ll remember the talking furbies? If anyone knew my mother, they knew she loved toys of all kinds, stuffed animals and dolls. When Cabbage Patch Dolls came out, land sake! My sister-in-law had to fight tooth and nail at JCPenney to get Cabbage Patch dolls for all the family for mom.

Back to those talking Furbies, mom had to have one. Those things were possessed or something. They would just start talking and scare the daylights out of you. One time mom had put Furby in the closet and needless to say he decided to start talking in the middle of the night. If my mom wasn’t prayed up, after that, she sure was. Scared her to death. Furby had to go. She tried giving him to me and I said “I don’t want that crazy thing.” I don’t know what happened to Furby, but he disappeared from her house.

Back to Halloween, we always watched scary movies. We would even talk my mom into watching them with us when we were teenagers. Friday the 13th was one we always watched and Nightmare on Elm Street. Today you couldn’t pay me to watch a scary movie. As teenagers that was always so fun.

Someone asked on Facebook if you could sleep in a funeral home for a million dollars and I said “I would sleep on Elm Street for that.”

I’ve dressed up as clowns, old ladies, and my favorite, Little Debbie. In my case, it was Big Debbie. Fun times taking my nephews and nieces trick or treating.

I know it’s been a while, so I need to tell y’all about the time we went trick or treating and went to this lady’s house and she left us standing on the porch and told us to wait. She comes back with these treats wrapped in foil. Back then you could hand out homemade treats. We were so excited, and we all just knew it was a brownie in that foil. When we got home to eat it, guess what it was? Cornbread!! Now mind ya if I had a bowl of beans, that wouldn’t have been half bad, but we were sure looking forward to that homemade brownie. Good memories to have!

This week’s recipe is something I found because I was craving something apple. This bread recipe is so simple but so good. Don’t let the word “bread” scare you young cooks. Anyone can make this!
QUICK APPLE PIE BREAD
1 21-ounce can apple pie filling
1 cup butter (I used one stick of butter and one margarine)
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon of cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon of salt
3/4 cup of raisins (I left out the raisins)
3/4 cup chopped nuts
Preheat oven to 350 degrees, I used three medium size load pans. It is too much batter for one.
Put the apple pie filling in a bowl and use your potato masher to chop them up. In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter, white sugar, and brown sugar, stir in eggs, apples and vanilla until well blended. Stir together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt and add to the apple mixture. Then add the raisins and nuts. Pour into your greased pans and bake for 30 minutes or more. I started with 30 minutes and had to cook a little longer. It is so good and moist. Enjoy!

Amenities That Can Improve Your Home’s Safety

Your home is your castle in many ways. Not only is it your retreat from the stressors of the outside world, but it also provides shelter and security from threats in your environment. Because of this, it’s crucial that you’re sufficiently prepared for anything that could happen. There are several key ways to better protect yourself from danger, and installing a few extra amenities in your home is a great place to start. These are some top amenities that can improve your home’s safety and what makes them so effective.

Video Doorbell and Alarm Systems

Proper home security often starts with your front door. As the part of the home that sees the most activity, it’s also the area with the most potential for break-ins and theft. Video doorbells and alarm systems are great for keeping you informed of what’s happening at your front door, even if you aren’t at home. This way, you have time to assess the situation and respond accordingly. Certain security systems like these will also contact the authorities for you in the event of a break-in. So you can rest assured that police will be on their way immediately.

Outdoor Sensor Lighting

Make sure you consider installing outdoor sensor lighting around your home too. Automatic floodlights are for more than just scaring off a scavenging animal or two after hours. They’re also very effective at startling potential thieves and discouraging them from stepping closer. It’s common for thieves to work under the cover of night because they don’t want to be visible to you or a neighbor. Because of this, shedding some sudden light on them and drawing extra attention to your home will make it a less desirable target.

Aboveground Storm Shelter

Heavy storms can strike anywhere and at any time, making it vital that you’re able to find a secure shelter quickly. This is why an aboveground storm shelter is another crucial amenity that can improve your home’s safety. While there are both pros and cons to owning an aboveground shelter, the advantages far outweigh the negatives. They’re easy to access in a crisis, incredibly secure, and very flexible in terms of how and where you place them. As such, installing one on your property can make a large difference during inclement weather or even a break-in.

Non-Penetrable Landscaping

Even your landscaping can help with bulking up security around your home. Intruders are less likely to climb through a window if there’s a series of prickly bushes in front of them. Likewise, there’s also a reduced chance of them seeing something they want if you have a row of tall bordering foliage. There are plenty of ways to landscape your property for optimal security while keeping things looking neat and organized.

Bringing some of these amenities into your home can do a lot to keep you and your family safe. So while some of them might seem minor, it never hurts to give them a try.

Top 5 Home Repairs You Shouldn’t Attempt Yourself

There are plenty of house projects that are both interesting and easy to do yourself. You can fix leaky faucets, paint bedrooms, and unclog garbage disposals without calling a pro. But for the big stuff, you’re better off leaving it to the industry professionals. Read on for five home repairs you shouldn’t try to DIY.

Roofs

Whether you want to fix a leak or lay down new shingles, don’t climb up there and do it yourself. This task is remarkably dangerous, and you can worsen the problem if you’re unsure what you’re doing. For example, haphazard shingle placement can interfere with the way rainwater flows off your roof.

HVAC Systems

While many heating and air conditioning units make it easy to replace something like an air filter, stop and call a contractor before attempting any actual repairs. Hiring an HVAC contractor offers homeowners many benefits because they have the skills and equipment necessary to fix leaks and other bigger problems before they grow catastrophic.

Electrical Wiring

Any home repair involving electricity is, by its very nature, going to be more dangerous. Don’t fiddle with circuitry unless you are a licensed electrician! Messing up your wiring could cause a house fire or even a deadly electrical shock.

Gas Appliance Work

When you buy a new hot water heater, you may look at it and think, “I can install this myself. It looks pretty intuitive.” Stop right there and call a professional! An improper repair or installation can lead to gas leaks. Call an expert to avoid accidentally poisoning your household with carbon monoxide.

Major Plumbing

While many people can handle minor repairs like leaky faucets, messing with your sewage system or hot water piping is an entirely different ballpark. While DIY plumbing mishaps are less likely to cause bodily harm than fiddling with electricity, they can damage your home with flooding and water damage.

As a homeowner, it’s wise to know your limits regarding what you can and can’t fix yourself. Be familiar with which home repairs you shouldn’t attempt yourself, and remember to contact local professionals who can help when something breaks down.

Tips To Help Hide Your Outdoor Garbage Cans

Whether due to lack of space or interest in smelling them, some family homes can’t store their outdoor garbage cans indoors. How do you keep your outdoor garbage can out of sight and prevent it from becoming an eyesore? Here are a few tips to help you hide your outdoor garbage cans and preserve your curb appeal.

Use a Storage Shed

If you already have a storage shed on your property that has some extra space, consider moving your outdoor garbage can into the shed. Alternatively, you can build an additional shed to house your garbage cans. This construction will allow you to store your garbage can out of sight and store any related materials, such as trash bags, lids, carts, and more. Storage sheds can take up a decent amount of yard space, but you can customize their outdoor appearance to fit your personal aesthetic.

Invest in a Garbage Can Cover

Garbage can covers function similarly to storage sheds, but they suit garbage cans exclusively. Garbage can covers are usually smaller and more precise to fit your receptacle’s size than storage sheds and other storage methods.

You can find trash receptacle covers in a wide variety of sizes, colors, and materials to fit the design of your home and overall landscaping. These customization factors help a garbage can cover flow seamlessly with your property. Another added benefit of this storage option is that it can help prevent animals and pests from accessing your garbage cans. A cover will also help keep your garbage cans clean and dry, which can help prevent bad smells from your trash cans.

Get Creative With Your Landscaping

Finally, if you’re looking for a more subtle way to hide your garbage cans, you can always rely on the natural landscaping of your property. Choose the spot that is most convenient for storing your outdoor garbage can and plant some tall grasses or shrubbery alongside them. This method works best for the side of a home or structure, where you can plant some greenery to help the receptacle blend in better.

These tips to help hide your outdoor garbage cans will help you preserve your curb appeal and better utilize outdoor trash receptacles. Stop staring at your garbage cans every time you step outside—instead, use these methods to help unify your property.

World Rabies Day reminds Arkansans about prevention, control

Randy Zellers Assistant Chief of Communications

LITTLE ROCK — Each year since 2007, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention joins with many agencies throughout the United States to increase awareness of rabies prevention and control. Rabies is rarely a source of concern for people in the United States thanks to vaccinations of domestic animals, but the disease still persists in wildlife populations and is occasionally reported in Arkansas.

As of Sept. 9, 2022, 17 cases of rabies have been confirmed in The Natural State this year. Skunks made up the largest component of animal carriers reported, with 13 animals testing positive. Three bats and one domestic dog have been reported with the disease so far this year. Between 24 and 46 cases have been confirmed each year in the last five years, and skunks are the primary animal found with the disease in Arkansas. Any mammal, including humans, can contract rabies but skunks and bats are the primary reservoirs for the disease in Arkansas. Domestic animal cases of rabies in Arkansas have not exceeded single digits per year in the last decade, thanks to vigilant surveillance and vaccination protocols.

Worldwide, more than 55,000 humans die of rabies each year, primarily in developing countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America. Ninety-nine percent (99%) of such cases result from bites inflicted by rabid dogs. In the United States, transmission from dogs is becoming a rarity due to successful dog vaccination programs. 

Vaccinations are required for all dogs and cats in Arkansas, which helps prevent spillover from wildlife populations to humans. Any dog or cat 4 months or older must be vaccinated by a licensed veterinarian, and those vaccinations must be kept up to date to remain effective.  

Dr. Jenn Ballard, state wildlife veterinarian with the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission, says prevalence of rabies virus in wildlife populations is extremely low, but it does still occur at a high enough rate to remain vigilant.

“Our likelihood of detecting the disease in bats and skunks that are behaving abnormally is significantly higher than with other wildlife,” Ballard said. “Skunks being seen out during the daytime and bats found crawling on the ground tend to get attention quickly, so they are often reported.” 

Ballard says many positive cases are not accompanied by the excessive salivation or aggressive nature people commonly associate with the virus. 

“More often, infected animals appear lethargic or unaware of their surroundings,” Ballard said. “Or they may not be as fearful of humans or pets as they should be. The best practice is to always keep your domestic animals vaccinated and enjoy wildlife from a distance.”

Rabies in humans is preventable as long as treatment is started before symptoms develop, so it is important for people to seek medical attention quickly after potential exposures. Anyone who is bitten by or comes into contact with an animal acting abnormally should contact their healthcare provider.

Bearcats Win Wild Scoring Fest at Hackett

Note to Our Readers: The following story was sourced in its entirety from Mr. Glenn Parrish, Director of Communications, Booneville School District. Mr. Parrish is a RNN Sports contributor, and we thank him for bringing this story to our readers!

There has already been much said and written about the Bearcat offensive performance on Friday, and there could, maybe should be even more forthcoming, but there may be a few defensive notes being lost in translation.

Yes, from a defense that surrendered 473 yards and 46 points.

It was the actually the defense that set the tone early. Leading 7-0 after a 39-yard Dax Goff touchdown run, the defense forced a three-and-out with Goff and Dunn Daniel combining twice for negative yardage plays.

Daniel had 10 total stops on the night with three for a loss.

After Trace Hall ran 23 yards for a touchdown it was 14-0 and the Bearcats had Chase Plymale make a backfield stop, Jace Washburn (shown) broke up a pass, and Daniel made a third down stop.

Hackett did score on a fourth down pass, but they were 0–of-2 on third at that point and finished 2-of-10.

Plymale recovered an onside kick — he did that three times — and a short field led to Hall’s second touchdown, on a 19-yard run and it was 21-6 with 3:43 left in the opening quarter.

Hall was on his way to 222 yards and five touchdowns on 14 carries.

Cody Elliott disrupted a fourth down pass — the Hornets were 3-of-6 on fourth down — then carried three times for 48 yards and scored from 28 yards out and it was 27-6.

Elliott had a career high 116 yards on 13 Carrie’s and also had 10 tackles.

Aided by a pass interference flag the Hornets cut it to 27-12 on a 6-yard touchdown pass.

After that score Hackett pooch kicked with Elliott recovering at the 20 for the worst starting position for the Bearcats.

It did not matter as Goff went 80 for a touchdown to make it 34-12.

Goff would run for 226 yards and four touchdowns on 13 carries.

A David Hicks sack and Goff batting down a pass got the Bearcats the ball back and Hall would score a third touchdown of the half on a run of 36 yards to make it 40-12 4:14 before halftime.

Two plays later it was 41-18 with the touchdown coming on a 67-yard pass play.

Dakota Mattson recovered an onside kick and, after Hall got 10 on a fourth down, Mattson was later on the receiving end of a halfback pass from Goff and it was 47-18 with 16 seconds left in the half.

Marcos Mullor, who was 9-of-11 on PAT tries, sent the kickoff straight at a Hornet up-man and it caromed off him and was recovered by Washburn.

Another second or two and the Bearcats could have possibly tried a field goal. After a time out with :06 to go Washburn threw Hall a pass that went for 23 to the 13 but the clock expired.

It was the only possession on which the Bearcats did not score.

Hackett went to a more deliberate pace to start the second half but marched to a 5-yard scoring run with 8:20 to go in the third quarter and it was 47-24.

A holding penalty — the first such of the game — took away a Hall 51-yard touchdown run but the Bearcats needed just seven plays to score anyway.

Goff got the touchdown from the 15 and it was 54-24 with 4:45 left in the quarter.

Plymale forced a fumble on the next Hackett possession that Goff appeared to recover but the Hornets were given the ball back plus 15 yards when the Bearcat sideline erupted.

Another flag — there would be 10 for 90 yards before it ended — moved the Hornets inside the 10 and a touchdown pass made it 54-30 with 2:28 left in the third quarter.

That score lasted one snap as Hall went 50 yards to make it 61-30 13 seconds later.

That score lasted 24 seconds because Hackett got a 68-yard TD pass to make it 61-38.

Overcoming another holding flag the Bearcats would drive to another score by Hall — his fifth — from the 8 and it was 68-38 with 10:46 to play.

A Demari Pool sack and a holding flag — Hackett drew four flags for 31 yards — led to a failed fourth down by Hackett from their 30.

Goff got his fourth touchdown the next play to make it 75-38 and start the sportsmanship clock about the seven minute mark of the final quarter.

That wrapped up a 586 rushing yard and 616 total offense night behind a Bearcat line that included, at various times, Matt O’Bar, Mat Crosby, Johnny Barnes, Clayton Wingfield, Cam Osborne, and Brett Welling.

Hackett used the remaining time and an interference flag to tack on another score on a run and two-point pass to make it 75-46.

The Bearcats are back at Bearcat Stadium this week to face West Fork for homecoming.

Watch D.O.G.S. Program Brings Male Role Models to the Classroom

By Brandy Young

From the car line to the classroom, Magazine Elementary School is calling on fathers to become more active in their students’ education. Earlier this semester, the Watch D.O.G.S. program was initiated, and has gotten off to a great start. 

Watch D.O.G.S (Dads Of Great Students) is a nationally recognized, one-of-a-kind program that brings dads, step-dads, grandfathers, uncles, or other father figures into the schools. Started in 1998, the program has grown to more than 6,800 schools across the county, with Magazine joining that list this year. The program has 2 primary goals: to provide positive male role models for the students, and to provide extra sets of eyes and ears to enhance school security and reduce bullying.

On August 30, the school held a Pizza Night to introduce the program to potential volunteers.  The event was well attended, with many signing up that night. Volunteers are asked to commit to at least one day each year. On the day of their participation,they are given a review of their involvement and wear an official WATCH D.O.G.S t-shirt to identify them as WatchDOGS. 

What exactly do the WatchDOGS do? During the school day, WatchDOGS may read and work on flash cards with students, play at recess, eat lunch with students, watch school entrances, walk hallways and perimeters to ensure that interior and exterior doors are locked, assist with the car line, or any number of other assigned activities. They have the opportunity to engage with not only their own students, but other students as well.  Many school administrators have reported that the mere presence of a WatchDOG dramatically reduces reports of bullying. 

“Our students are excited everyday when the come to school and meet the WatchDOG of the day,” says Elementary Principal Jared Higginbotham. Mr. Higginbotham first brought the program to the school board in the spring of 2022 where it was met with great excitement. “We are confident that this will bring more parent investment into their children’s education,” says board member Steven Schlinker. He also is encouraged that more parents will be able to see first-hand what happens from day to day in the school. 

This year, the program is overseen by Joshua Scott, who is serving as the “Top Dog.” Scott is partnering with school administrators to coordinate scheduling and identify opportunities for WatchDOGS to assist at the school. 

Everyone involved benefits in some way.  The school gains an extra set of eyes and ears, the students gain positive male role models, and fathers gain greater awareness of the administrators’ and students’ challenges. Fourth-grader Colton Fox said that the best part of having the WatchDOGS on campus is, “You feel safe.” He also enjoys playing kickball with them at recess.

If you are interested in volunteering as a WatchDOG, contact the elementary office at 866-900-2001 or Joshua School via Facebook Messenger.
