Chief Sehorn Retires After Three Decades of Service

Chief Master Sgt. Ricky D. Sehorn, 188th Logistics Readiness Squadron (LRS) chief of transportation, retired in a formal ceremony held here September 11, 2021.

Sehorn closed out a military career spanning over 36 years and two service branches with family, friends, and current and former coworkers. The event was presided over by Lt. Col. James T. Garvey, 188th LRS commander.

Sehorn’s military career began in 1985 when he enlisted in the 188th Fighter Wing as a life support specialist while attending the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville. Upon graduation, he joined the Army’s 95th Infantry Division. Serving as the platoon leader, Sehorn deployed to Europe in response to Operation Decisive Endeavor.

In 1990, Sehorn returned to the 188th and joined the security forces squadron before transferring to vehicle maintenance. As the 188th chief of transportation, he was responsible for 12 vehicle maintainers and 220 assigned vehicles and equipment pieces.

In addition to his official papers of retirement, Sehorn was presented with numerous awards, citations, and accolades earned during his distinguished years of service including an Arkansas  Exceptional Service Medal for his leadership while Chief of Transportation.

Sehorn spoke of what the Guard means to him, especially since the events of 9/11. “To me, the Guard is a people. I believe the Guard is still young men and women who join this organization for education, adventure, and to defend their nation and their communities against enemies and catastrophes. But most importantly, they join to be a part of something bigger than their self. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of something bigger than myself.”

He will continue to manage his 150 acres of farmland near Waldron, Arkansas, of which about 5 acres is farmed by horse and mule.

AGFC Proposing Fishing Regulation Change at Sugar Loaf Lake

MIDLAND — The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission is taking public comments on a proposal to remove the 13- to 16-inch length limit on largemouth bass at Sugar Loaf Lake in Sebastian County.

Currently, any largemouth bass caught from Sugar Loaf Lake measuring from 13 inches to 16 inches (measured from the tip of the tail to the tip of the lower jaw) must be immediately released into the water. The slot limit has been in place since 1996. Recent electrofishing efforts indicate that the lake is becoming overpopulated with young largemouth bass, which can stunt the growth of fish in the lake.

The AGFC is seeking public comments on the proposal now to present with the recommendation to the Commission during its regulations-setting process in 2022. If passed, it would become effective Jan. 1, 2023.

A video presentation of the proposal and its justification is available at the following YouTube link:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FsOOpDVzaMU. A questionnaire for public comments is available in the description below the video on YouTube.

The Pros and Cons of Keeping Your Own Chickens

Homesteading is in. More people are trying to be as self-sufficient on their property as they can when it comes to food, and chickens—and their eggs—are no exception. For your consideration, here are a few of the pros and cons of keeping your own chickens.

Pro: Back-to-the-Land Satisfaction

Something about cooking with produce you grew yourself feels great. The same goes for the breakfasts and desserts you’ll make with your homegrown eggs. You’ll feel a sense of pride and self-reliance with these ingredients. Just make sure to take pride in your coop, too, for reasons we’ll explore later.

Con: High Upfront Expenses

It’s hard to do the math to determine whether you’ll come out ahead by keeping your own chickens rather than buying them from the grocery store or the farmers market. Whatever the costs or benefits in the long run, know that the upfront expenses will be high either way. If you would struggle to shoulder those costs right now, it’s best to wait.

Pro: Compost Products

In addition to laying eggs, chickens have another way of giving back. We’ll warn you right now that chicken manure is going to be a very plentiful “resource.” However, this waste product is more than mere waste—its nitrogen and mineral content make it an ideal fertilizer, one that can add a great deal to your compost heap. With time to further decompose, chicken manure will supplement your compost and help your garden grow. Cracked eggshells, another organic material, can also provide more minerals to your heap.

Con: Potential Salmonellosis Cases

Having eggs close at hand would seem like a healthy alternative to grabbing cartons from the grocery store. However, the quality of homegrown eggs isn’t always everything it’s cracked up to be. You don’t have the quality-control measures in place that major egg producers do, and if you don’t enforce stringent sanitation practices around your coop, it’s possible for Salmonella bacteria to infiltrate your eggs, causing dangerous or even deadly cases of food poisoning. Indeed, salmonellosis outbreaks because of tainted backyard chicken eggs have been on the rise lately, with well-meaning poultry hobbyists coming down with nausea, diarrhea, and vomiting.

Pro and Con: No Need for Alarm Clocks

Clichés are rooted in truth. Your rooster is indeed going to let out a “cock-a-doodle-doo” at the crack of dawn. Even your hens can get in on the action, making a great deal of noise as they rise and shine each morning. The pros and cons of keeping your own chickens overlap with this noise. Some keepers of chickens may relish the sounds of their birds, especially if they, like their chickens, need to be early risers. Neighbors in proximity to your coop, however, may disagree. Your municipality may have reservations about residents keeping chickens due to the noise. Make sure you’re complying with local ordinances before you throw out your alarm clock—and be ready for strongly worded letters from the neighbors.

Having Defeated Pottsville, Charleston Travels to Ozark on Friday Seeking 4A-4 Sweep in Non-conference Play

The Charleston Tigers played their second non-conference game of the 2021 season last Friday at Pottsville. When the night was over, Charleston came away with their second victory over a 4A-4 team, defeating the Apaches, 35-14. The 3A Tigers go to 2-0 on the season and will travel to Ozark this Friday night to play the Hillbillies in the “Battle of Franklin County.”

Ozark finished the 2020 regular season at 7-3, including a 54-21 win at Charleston. In 2021, the Hillbillies are 1-1, having defeated Clarksville and losing to Booneville. Ozark returns seven starters on offense and six on defense.

The battle at Ozark will be the final non-conference test for Charleston before they return home on September 24 to host the Greenland Pirates in the opening weekend of 3A-1 conference play. In fact, the Charleston schedule resembles a gauntlet of five games to start the season that could determine not only the Tigers overall record, but their playoff berth and seeding within their own conference. The Tigers host Greenland at Alumni Field next week, and will go on the road to Cedarville for a tough showdown game with huge conference implications. But first things first. This week, it is the perennial 4A power Ozark Hillbillies that are on the radar of head coach Ricky May and the Charleston coaching staff.

Coach May had significant concerns about his defense following the preseason scrimmage against Booneville. The Bearcats are tough this year, and have had big success against both Dardanelle and Ozark. Since that night of the preseason scrimmage, Coach May and the Charleston coaching staff emphasized toughness and getting off the field after third downs and not giving up big plays for first downs. Coach May has been pleased with the start of the defense since their opening game, and the Tigers have allowed an average of just 10 points per game so far. For Coach May, the biggest thing on his mind is, “we haven’t beat them in a while.”

Resident Press Photo / Ronni Tate Young

Coach May elaborated, “We haven’t beaten them since I’ve been a head coach. I have been close once, but did not win.” In the Booneville win over Ozark, the Hillbillies were missing their quarterback. That is not to take anything away fro a Bearcats team that handled Ozark that night, but the Hillbillies’ back-up quarterback (Ryker Martin), according to May, “is more of a runner, so, Booneville had eight in the box (on defense to play against the run).” The Tigers expect the Ozark starting quarterback (Landon Wright) to return this Friday. In short, Charleston expects all of the injured Ozark starters to return in this rivalry game on Friday. The Hillbillies run the spread offense, and Wright is the better passer of the two Ozark quarterbacks. His return would mean that Ozark would be able to run their offense more efficiently than was possible against Booneville.

Coach May has been pleased with his team’s play, including his defense that he expressed concern with earlier in the year. “We have played with a lot of excitement and enthusiasm. Our physicality has been really good, and I feel like we have matched our opponents’ physicality. But we still turned it over three times (against Pottsville). We can’t continue to do that and be successful.” The Tigers turned the ball over to Pottsville on one interception and two fumbles. “On the two fumbles, we were going in (for a score on each drive). The interception was down about on our 20 yard line. We have been real fortunate to win (against the 4A non-conference teams) when we have turned the ball over. We have to fix us (correct the turnovers and mistakes).

Resident Press will have a recap on this game next week in its online edition. Friday’s game in Ozark should be another great edition of this cross county rivalry between two great football programs. You will want to get there early to get a seat at this one!

Good luck to the Charleston Tigers who look to go to 3-0 on the 2021 season!

Paris Has Bye Week to Prepare for Conference Opener Sept 24 at Mayflower

After a 3-0 start to the 2021 football season, the Paris Eagles have now completed the non-conference portion of their schedule and will enjoy a bye week this Friday. The Eagles will open conference play on the road at Mayflower next Friday, September 24. The Mayflower Eagles were a five seed in last year’s state playoffs, losing in the first round at Charleston.

In last year’s game played in Paris, the Eagles decisively defeated Mayflower in last year’s conference opener. But Mayflower has a tradition of athleticism in not only football but all sports that they play, and the return match-up in Mayflower next week should be a highly competitive football game. The opening game in conference play is very important to all teams. Winners of week one conference games quickly vault to the top half of the conference standings and reduce the number of teams that they must overcome in the standings by half of the number of conference teams. That sounds simplistic, but in the month of October when teams play the tougher portions of their schedules, it becomes a very important factor as teams jockey for playoff positions and seedings.

Resident Press File Photo

Mayflower returns a talented and experienced team, and in next Friday’s game, the team speed for both teams will be on display on the artificial turf at Mayflower. And now that the conference portion of the schedule has begun, the Paris Eagles will be led by a big, talented, and experienced senior class that is hungry to go to the state playoffs as a high seed and beyond.

So far, that senior class has not played a complete game. Games have been decided early by amassing big leads early in the game, and the sportsmanship rule of running a continuous clock and shortening games has been in effect for all three Paris football games. But, those seniors have been able to exit early in games to protect themselves from exposure to possible injury, and, the Eagles have had the opportunity to get reserve players on the field and develop them further for possible crucial back-up roles, and for future development. One such player that has benefited from playing time is Maddox Watts. Watts plays on defense, but, may be relied upon to succeed his brother, Chase, next year as the Eagles’ starting quarterback. If that becomes the case, his playing time this year is critical for the continued success at that position next year after the graduation of his brother.

Enjoy your bye week!

What To Consider When Installing Insulation in Your Home

When you’re preparing an insulation project, you must follow the proper steps to ensure your project goes smoothly. It can be a big project to tackle on your own, so make sure you know what to consider when installing insulation in your home. Follow these tips for a successful installation and results you can be proud of.

Your Insulation Type

The first step to planning your home insulation project is choosing what type of insulation you want to use. Some of the most popular options for home insulation include fiberglass, spray foam (open-cell and closed-cell), cellulose, and reflective insulation. Spray foam is one of the most energy-efficient varieties, and it has a high R-value, which makes it a great option for homeowners who experience cold and warm weather alike. It can keep indoor heat from escaping as well as prevent outdoor heat from entering.

Where To Insulate

You should also have an idea of exactly where you need to install insulation in your home. Most homes will need insulation from the roof to the foundation to maintain maximum energy-efficiency. Map out the areas of your home that need special attention, such as in between interior walls and basement crawl spaces.

Don’t overlook any areas when it comes to insulation. You may save a quick buck during the initial installation process, but you could lose these savings in the long run through lack of energy-efficiency.

Safety Guidelines

Whether you’re preparing a personal insulation project or working on a jobsite, you have to follow the proper safety procedures. If you’re using spray foam, follow the essential spray foam safety tips that the professionals use to make sure your own project is as safe and secure as possible. This includes investing in the right safety gear and knowing the right steps and practices for your insulation method ahead of time.

Taking Your Time

You may be eager to complete your home renovations, but take your time during this process. A rushed installation job could lead to issues that you’ll have to fix later, such as blockages to your vents and other airflow systems throughout your home. Take care to complete the installation process right the first time, and you won’t have to go through the trouble of fixing mistakes later.

Installing your own insulation is no easy task. With these tips, you now know what to consider when installing insulation in your home so that you can complete your renovations with confidence.

Home Repairs to Tackle Before the Cold Weather Arrives

Colder weather means more time spent indoors getting cozy. It’s time to check a few things off the list with these home repairs to tackle before the cold weather arrives.

Repair Roof Damage

Rain, ice, and snow don’t belong in your home. Any leaks in your roof can cause costly damage to the inside of your house, along with increased utility bills from keeping your home warm. While the weather is still comfortable, get outside and visually inspect your roof for any cracks or gaps, missing shingles, or visible signs of damage. Don’t forget about the inside as well. Check the attic for any signs of water damage along the ceiling or cracked plaster.

While you’re up in the attic, check the insulation. Insulation protects your home from cold temperatures and keeps the warmth inside. You may need to get it replaced. There are different types of insulation, so figure out which is the best fit for your home.

Clean and Inspect Gutters

While you’re up on the roof checking for damages, inspect the gutters and downspouts. Clear away any debris hiding in them and ensure that everything is attached and properly draining. If a gutter isn’t draining correctly and the temperatures reach below freezing, they will become weighed down and break away from their supports.

You may want to consider gutter guards. These guards will stop branches, leaves, and other debris from piling up and disrupting the flow.

Painting Interior Rooms

While you can paint the inside of your home any time of year, it’s best when you’re able to have a properly ventilated home. You can best achieve this ventilation with open doors and windows. Colder weather makes it difficult. Fall is a great time to tackle painting because you can take advantage of the weather and still have natural lighting.

Check the HVAC System

Fall is the perfect time to have the HVAC system professionally inspected. Take time to check if your home’s heating system is working before you have to use it for the first time. Then, if there are any issues, you can schedule an appointment and get any problems fixed.

You can walk around the house to ensure all the vents are clean and swap out your furnace filter. It’s also the perfect opportunity to check your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and change batteries if needed.

Tip

Consider changing out your thermostat for a smart one if you haven’t already. These devices will help save you money and are a quick and easy eco-friendly update for your home.

Inspect the Deck and Patio

Another home repair to tackle before the cold weather arrives is sweeping off your deck or patio to remove loose branches, leaves, or other debris that may sit there. Check around for any cracks or splits in the wood or railing of the deck. If something appears broken, fix it up, and think about resealing the deck too. The colder temperatures will dry out the wood and can potentially lead to more damage. Keep an eye out for any signs of water damage and mold as well. This harm will get worse over the colder months.

8th Grade Improves To 2-0

In what could be described as a David vs Goliath match-up, the Pocola Indians made the trek across state lines to face the Greenwood Bulldog 8th grade team. Pocola found themselves in a similar situation over the Labor Day weekend, their next opponent canceled due to Covid. This became common place in the 2020 season and even saw this class of Bulldogs missing out on two weeks of their season due to quarantine. A few calls later between Coaches and the game was set for September 9 at Smith-Robinson Stadium.

Jakson Overton would get the start on Thursday night as bounce back from the game against Russellville the week before. “He looked a lot more relaxed and he made some good plays.” Head Coach Shannon Rhea said after the game. “He ran the ball when he should, and he made a good pass throwing the deep ball down in the corner.”

Jakson Overton looking for more yards against Pocola

Greenwood would start the game from their own 30 yard line, Wesley Raggio would get the call on the first place but would be tackled for a loss on the play. Jakson Overton would find Lawyer Thornsberry on the next play for a 9 yard gain, but the drive would stall on 4th down pass attempt to Benton Hossley resulting in a turnover on downs. Pocola would start their drive from the Greenwood 37. Pocola would drive down the field but stall on the 24 yard line. Going on 4th Down, Braden Hardwick would throw it to a Pocola receiver, Blaze McDaniel would break up the pass at the 4 yard line. Greenwood would take over at the 24. A 13 yard run by Wesley Raggio and a 11 yard run by Jakson Overton set up a 52 yard pitch and catch from Overton to Raggio for a touchdown. The two point conversion pass from Overton to Cooper Bland was caught putting the score at 8-0.

Pocola would take the ball at the 30 yard line to start there drive with Hardwick attempting a deep pass to Jackson Parker that would be incomplete. With some great passing the Indians would make it down the field capped off by a 2 yard run for the touchdown by Hardwick. Two point conversion would be good pushing the score to 8-8 in the 2nd quarter. Greenwood would answer back with a 66 yard run from Wesley Raggio. A leaping Cooper Bland at the back of the end zone would tack on another 2 points.

Pocola QB Braden Hardwick looks to roll out against Greenwood.

Pocola’s next drive would come to a stop on their own 26 with the Indians punting on 4th down. Jakson Overton would find Lawyer Thornsberry for a 32 yard catch putting the Dogs on the 25. Facing 4th and 11, Overton would toss it to Andrew Burton for the TD on a 26 yard strike. Pocola would take a knee to the game to halftime with the Dogs on top 22-8.

Pocola would start the 2nd half with a first down pass, they would not be able to convert on the next set of downs electing to punt. Some quick plays would find Brayden Shepard taking it into the end zone for 26 yards out, another Overton pass to Bland would put the dogs up 30-8. Middle of the fourth quarter Pocola would get another TD and two point putting the score at 30-16. From there the Dogs would drive down the field ending the game.

Jakson Overton came into the game looking for some positives and gained some by going 10 for 11 with 139 yards and two touchdowns through the air. The biggest one being the 26 yard pass to Andrew Burton. Rushing wise, Wesley Raggio would get 76 yards rushing on 6 carries and a touchdown. Brayden Shepard would get the ball two times and rush for 43 yards with one touchdown. Raggio would also lead in receiving yards off of the 52 yard touchdown. Lawyer Thornsberry would get 50 yards off of 3 catches, and Andrew Burton with 2 catches and 30 yards.

The offensive line opened up holes all night for the running game.

With this group we have got to be able to run the ball, I think that’s our strength. We have got good size, and we got better.” Head Coach Shannon Rhea said. Next game is against the Darby Rangers out of Fort Smith. They feature an explosive running back in Demonie Brock and a transfer from Greenwood, Sean Durham. Coach Rhea went on to say, “We’ve got a really good opponent next week, we’ll find out what we got.”

“We’re happy to come over and play a big school like this and compete” said Pocola Coach Jason Parker. “Outside of a couple big plays we’re in that game.” Coach Parker had high praise for the Arkansas school, “This is a great program, everybody knows this is the cream of the crop program around here. I appreciate Coach Young letting us come over here and play and getting reps in. Ya know, this doesn’t do anything but make our boys better. We play a team like this that can roll in three different strings, then we go play next week it just makes our kids better.”

It was a reunion of sorts for some of the Greenwood 8th graders as they were coached by Jason Parker in the Spring Impact Youth Football League in 2018. Lineman, Landon Billy, Akira Fujibayashi, Running Back Wesley Raggio, and QB Kane Archer played for the Pocola coach on the now-defunct Fort Smith Cowboys. They would finish 3rd in the League that year and would springboard Archer into the National spotlight. Jason Parker’s son Jackson was also on the team and they met up after the game to get a photo with their former Coach. Parker was also the Defensive Coordinator on the Poteau Bandit Bi-State League team that nearly all of the 8th Grade Bulldogs played against as Pittbulls.

7th Grade Bulldogs Bounce Back Against Kimmons

After a tough loss against Shiloh Christian, the seventh grade Bulldogs found their footing and win against Kimmons 26-16.

It had been August 26 since the 7th grade Bulldogs had taken the field and they showed no signs of rust as they got after the Kimmons Red Raiders this past Tuesday. The Bulldog defense had Kimmons stopped on a 4th and 2 on the first drive, a few missed tackles had Kimmons’ QB run 59 yards for the first TD of the game. A two point conversion would be good, putting the score at 8-0. Ty Holt would take the ensuing kickoff across the midfield stripe and the Dogs would start from the Kimmons 41 yard line. Holt would find Braden Brewer three times on the ensuing drive to get the Dogs within striking distance of the end zone. A 25 yard run by Rhett Holloway would be negated by a holding penalty, but the Bulldogs responded. Holloway would get the call and scamper 14 yards for the the TD. A two point conversion from Holt to Brewer would be good for two, tying the score 8-8.

A fumble by Kimmons on the snap would be recovered by Jacob Berry, this would get the offense back on the field at the 50 yard line. Rhett Holloway would get the drive started with a 14 yard run. Two plays later, Ty Holt would keep it around the right side escaping attempted tackles for a 31 yard TD run. The two point conversion would fail, and the quarter ended 14-8, Dogs on top.

Rhett Holloway looks for running room early in the game against Kimmons

Kimmons would get a good drive going getting down to the Greenwood 24. A Bailey Thibodeaux interception on the the 12 yard line would put a stop to the driving Red Raiders. Several good runs by Holt and Holloway would get the offense down to the Kimmons 37. A 28 yard pass as time expired from Holt to Brewer would get the Dogs down the Kimmons 9 yard line. Halftime score 14-8.

Braden Brewer snags a Ty Holt pass as the first half expires and gets down to the 9 yard line.

A short kick by Kimmons to start the 2nd half had the Bulldogs starting at their own 38. A couple runs by Ty Holt and Rhett Holloway would once again get them in scoring position. Getting down to the 21 yard line, a false start penalty would push the Bulldogs back to the 26. The next play Holt would find Braden Rennick again on the drive, this one for 26 yards to put the Dogs ahead 26-8. The two-point conversion would be no good. The Red Raider offense would stall out on their own 25. On 4th down, Kimmons would go for it. A fumbled snap was scooped up and tossed to Jayden Thomas, who gets through the Greenwood defense and his own offense for the 75 yard TD. The two point conversion is good with the score 20-16.

A Bailey Thibodeaux kickoff return would get the Bulldogs down to the Kimmons 29 yard line. A 20 yard run by Ty Holt would be canceled out by a holding call, putting the Dogs at the 40 yard line. A short run by Holloway set up a big gain through the air as Holt would find Rennick again, this time for 31 yards. Holt would take it in from 6 yards out giving Greenwood a 26-16 lead. The next drive Kimmons would not be as lucky as they faced 4th and 32 at their own 22. A run to the right would be stopped at the 20 yard line. Greenwood’s drive would stall at the Kimmons 25 giving the ball back to the Red Raiders.

Jace Brown would break up the pass on first down, but a 25 yard Kimmons run would give them momentum on the drive. A fumbled snap on on 2nd down would result in a Jacob Berry sack, leaving the Raiders facing 3rd and 15. Another fumbled snap was scooped up by Kimmons and almost became a wild play again, but was stopped by the Greenwood defense. With time ticking away, a swing pass to the left became a big gain with Jax Sharum pushing the Kimmons receiver out of bounds with one second left on the clock. Kimmons would attempt a hook and ladder on the play, but threw the ball forward twice, ending regulation play. Dogs on top 26-16.

Cooper Webb and Thomas Newcity bring down a Kimmons Running back.

The game would then go into a 5th quarter to get some more field time for Kimmons and Greenwood. There was not a score kept for the quarter and it was under a 15 minute running clock. Jace Brown and Kyler Scott would both find the end zone in the 5th, with Brown getting 2 TD’s.

Ty Holt would finish with nine completions off of 13 attempts for 116 yards one touchdown, he would also rush for 92 yards on nine attempts with two touchdowns, Rhett Holloway would rush nine times as well for 68 yards and one touchdown. Braden Brewer would snag five receptions for 57 yards and Braden Rennick would get three receptions for 67 yards and one touchdown.

7th Grade will be in action against Darby on Tuesday, games start at 5:30.
