Mansfield Schools Superintendent Joe Staton announced the district’s mask policy for the upcoming school year following a board meeting held on Tuesday, August 10.

The board and administration wish to continue the previous policy of recommending masks and social distancing and to follow ADH and DESE guidance. The following is our plan:

Mansfield School District Back to School COVID Tools and Guidelines

Follow the ADH Guidelines ADH/DESE Guidelines including:

  • Vaccinations are available for ages 12 and Up
  • Masks–Not Completely REQUIRED, BUT we are going to model this well and teach it to our students as correct procedures.  ADH Recommends masking up anytime we can’t get 6 ft.of space and for students any time they can’t get 3 ft of space.  Let’s do our part to NOT make this become a requirement.  Great Leadership from Tiger Staff will take care of this.  
  • Increased emphasis on masking for students age 11 and below–They haven’t had access to vaccinations.  Teach Procedures, Ask them to mask up per ADH Guidance.  We do have flexibility to work with individual students and families on the matter but the norm is for our students (Especially in this age group to be masked up when they can’t distance themselves.)
  • Ask the students to mask up when proper social distancing is impossible 
  • Ask students to wear a mask when they are on a school bus
  • Encourage Masking per ADH Guidelines
  • Physical Distancing–3 ft. students in a classroom and 6 if possible.  Within 6 ft for 15 cumulative minutes of a COVID Positive Case is still the standard for determining Quarantine.
  • Hand Washing and Sanitizer Frequently
  • Ventilation and Air Circulation–Windows, circulation fans in the rooms,  Air Purifiers
  • Screening–Parents Screen their children, Staff Screen, Visitors Screen
  • Busing-Windows Cracked or Down
  • COVID Point of Contact, Quarantine and Isolation Tina Smith MSD POC

Be ready to increase COVID Mitigation Strategies or decrease COVID Mitigation Strategies as needed by the amount of transmission at school to ensure a successful school year.

Waldron Volleyball Ready To Prove That Attitude Is Everything

With the start of volleyball season quickly approaching, the Waldron Sr Lady Bulldogs coupled with coaches Hannah Scantling and Bailey Moore, are ready to strike. Playing a big role for the Volley Dogs are returning seniors, Molly Richmond and Bianca Hinojosa along with six returning juniors and six returning sophomores. “We have had several players step up for us this year,” explained Coach Bailey Moore. “Our seniors will be big for us, undoubtedly. Only having two means they will have a lot of weight on their shoulders but we have full faith in them. They are calm leaders and work hard for us every day.”

The Lady Bulldogs also have several girls taking on new roles this year as well. “We lost five starters last year so it has been a bit of a puzzle to fill in gaps. Jasmine Nelson has stepped up to set and has taken on the roll head on. Peyton Boyd has stepped up and learned to set but has also learned to play all three front row positions to be beneficial to us wherever needed. After losing our libero, Kylee Day and Kylie Broomfield have worked hard to strengthen our back row. Sophomore Kyleigh Cook has been training as a middle and has really taken on the role with great force. Our small team is full of heart and great attitudes and it’s hard to just name a few that we think will shine because, with their work ethic, there is no limit!”

Although losing such a big portion of their team last year has left the Lady Bulldogs in a rebuilding phase, they don’t plan to stay in that phase for long. “We are really expecting to see great growth this season. Our girls are an awesome group with great attitudes and we have such high expectations for their growth because of that. We are expecting to finish the season much stronger in our new roles.”

“Our biggest strength would probably have to be the team atmosphere. Our girls work so hard and have a “Don’t give up attitude”. They grow every practice because they just won’t quit. I think that will give them the ability to really surprise some teams that count us out. Our weakness though would have to be a lack of knowledge in big positions. Since we had to replace several starters and put people in new positions, we are learning as we go.” 

With their first game only eight days away, there is much excitement surrounding the season. “The game that we are anticipating the most would have to be the Booneville game. It is always a tough fought game and a rivalry game at that. Last year we beat them to make it to State so that always brings out the competitive side of rivals!”

Things To Consider Before Moving into a Historic Home

Things To Consider Before Moving into a Historic Home

Moving into a historic home can be one of the most exciting adventures in which you can take part, as far as homeownership goes. In fact, many people get so excited about the prospect of living in one of these homes that they don’t fully consider the risks and rewards of doing so, leading to drastic consequences in the future. To help you avoid these consequences, here are the top three things to consider before moving into a historic home.

Water Quality

Water quality is one of the primary things to consider before you move into a historic home. This is because there’s often harmful mineral buildup in older homes that haven’t had their pipe systems redone recently. In some cases, significant mineral buildup can make water unpotable or harmful to one’s health. A homeowner may go with one of two options to rectify this: either replace absolutely all the pipes in the house or install a water treatment system for the home.

Foundation

The foundation is another major concern that all homeowners should be concerned about. In older historic homes especially, there’s a significant chance that the ground has shifted, often resulting in a broken or cracked foundation. This can lead to leaks and seepage as well as major plumbing issues in the future. This potential situation should highlight how important it is to get a professional contractor to evaluate the house and ensure everything about the structure is stable before you make the purchase.

Building Materials

The last major thing to consider before you move into a historic home is the building materials used to construct the house. Depending on when the house was built, harmful materials such as asbestos may have been used in its construction. These materials can cause serious health issues over time. As such, before moving into a historic house, you must check with a contractor about the construction materials used to ensure the house is safe for habitation. In some cases, a contractor will need to make a full inspection of the house to check everything out.

Before you move into a historic home, you should first consider a number of things to guarantee your safety. In most cases, a simple check from a general contractor or inspector will rectify any safety concerns you may have. In any case, ensuring that your historic home looks and functions great will let you live a happy and healthy life.

Mansfield XC Dives Into Pool To Close Pre-Season

Pictured: Mansfield cross country runners take their training to the extreme at a remote location adjacent to Booneville City Park. Afterward, the Tiger endurance athletes were treated to a swim at the local pool.

Mansfield long-distance runners enjoyed a week of much cooler temperatures. After a scorching sequence of hot days one week earlier, the Tiger cross country players produced a record number of miles in training this past week. As a reward for their hard work in preparations for the upcoming season, a large coalition of the distance runners was treated to a swim at a local pool.

On Friday, August 6 the Mansfield distance team took their third specialty trip for a change in scenery. This time the morning run was followed up with a dive into the Booneville Public Pool.

Thirteen members of the MHS cross country team arranged their schedules for the morning trip to Bearcat Country. Collectively the 13 players pounded the pavement around the nearby park for a total of 59.5 miles of road work. That’s an average of 4.58 miles per player.

“The morning was absolutely gorgeous for a good cleansing run,” said Mansfield cross country coach John Mackey. “The temperature was mild with a bit of light rain in the air. The kids really responded to the cooler morning especially after a big week of upgraded intensity.”

The coach continued describing the last day of pre-season summer training for his team.

“After their run, the clouds opened for even better weather for a nice swim. I appreciate Coach (Joshua) Brown for joining the group with supervision. I also would like to thank the Booneville parks director and the employees of the pool for their watchful attention.”

Not only did Mansfield runners produce nearly 60 miles on the morning of the swim, but the entire group also posted 353.1 miles for the week. That brought the total miles for the group’s 15 days of pre-season training to 958.5 summer miles.

“Attendance was certainly better last week,” explained the coach. “There were fewer conflicts, the temperature cooperated, and the hint of a swimming pool trip didn’t hurt either.”

Senior Darby Jones once again led the pack with a steady-paced run. The former Farm Bureau All-Star put up a six-mile non-stop aerobic run to win the week in individual running with 38 total miles. She knocked out 112.1 miles for the 4-week training period.

Senior McKenzie Griffin was a close second for the week with 37.5 miles. The former player of the year did however win the total miles for the summer. Griffin cataloged 136.25 total miles for the cycle. She was also the first Mansfield cross country player from this season to pass 100 miles for the summer.

The two seniors mentioned above also recorded perfect attendance through the summer. Likewise, both made all three destination trips for the MHS cross country team this past month.

The bus trips offered to all members of the running group centered mostly around historical landmarks. This latest return trip to Booneville was more about fun. According to the head coach, it was all about rewarding commitment to the endurance sport. 

“The chance to refresh in the cool waters of a public pool reserved only for Mansfield athletes is a pretty good reward when you put in the long miles that these kids do,” stated Mackey.

This week also saw the return of two-time All-State runner Faith Rainwater. The senior had been away for the month of June helping relatives in Pulaski County take care of a newborn baby.

Rainwater, last season’s player of the year and a member of the River Valley Best of Preps team, charted 19 miles for her short week return.

Rainwater’s twin sister Hope and All-Star junior Jadelynn Wood both recorded over 60 miles for their pre-season efforts. Wood’s little sister Laney led the junior girls in recorded miles with 42.5. All-Region freshman Trinity Triska nearly equaled that total and led the younger team in total attendance.

Eleventh grader Ashton Hinkle led all boys in total summer miles. The Tiger’s top senior high boys prospect accumulated 73.6 miles for the 4-week cycle. 

Leland Powell off the junior boys’ team posted 39.2 miles this pre-season. He was also tops in attendance for the junior high squad.

First-year player Holden Powers led all rookies with total mileage at 33.6. He posted 5 total miles with chunk runs at Friday’s Booneville trip. The seventh-grader also led in attendance among all beginners. 

Gunner Williams, also a seventh-grader, was second in attendance and mileage. Williams signed out with 31.7 miles over his nine days of training.

Mansfield’s cross country runners will turn their attention back to individual training the last week of summer break. The group rejoins on August 16 as the new school year begins.

The Tigers’ first competition run of the season will be August 31 at Perryville. All four divisions will run a reduced 1.5-mile race due to expected high temperatures.

Mansfield endurance runners worked up a sweat on their final day of pre-season training before the start of the 2021 Cross Country season.

Hartford Man Arrested for Possession of Firearms on School Property

On Wednesday, August 4, a Hartford man was arrested for being in possession of firearms on school property.

Police Chief Wayne Robb responded to the call of a suspicious person in the joint parking lot of Mercy Family Medicine and the Mansfield Elementary School, located at 100 N. Walnut Street. Upon arrival on scene, Robb made contact with a male subject and sought a consent for search. According to Robb, the subject, Daniel Harris, was cooperative and agreeable to the search. That search led to the discovery of four firearms, a set of handcuffs, and a bulletproof vest.

Harris, a Security Corporal at Choctaw Casinos and Resorts, was allegedly waiting inside the vehicle on a female he had brought to the clinic. The female reportedly alerted the staff that she was fearful because of the number of guns Harris had.

The concealed handgun carry license holder was arrested on four charges of firearms possession on school property, class D felonies. He was transported to the Scott County Detention Center and booked in at 8:09 p.m. Following a hearing on Friday, August 6, Harris was released on $35,000 bond.

Obituary – Rogers Theo Leeper (1952-2021)

Rogers Theo Leeper was born in Mena, Arkansas July 21, 1952 to Theo and Catherine Rogers Leeper. He was called by God on Thursday, August 5, 2021 in Waldron, Arkansas.

He roamed Poteau Mtn as a kid on horseback where he had many adventures. His Hon friends would usually be along. His childhood adventures were many just ask his friends. He loved horses better than dogs and he owned many. His favorite horse was named Bullet. The wilder the horse the better he liked them and the way he described Bullet he was full of fire. He was ridden by one man and that was Roger Leeper, no one else could even get close to him.

Roger left Waldron to join the US Army as a teenager and returned when he was in his 30’s. He went to AIT at Fort Polk, LA from there to Vietnam. He always said he was never in the country, just cleaned up their vehicles on board ship as they departed. His favorite duty station was Germany. His last duty station was Fort Bragg, NC, where he met his wife.

His military MOS was a Mechanic. He could work on both diesel and gas engines. Through the years he helped many people with their vehicles, which included log trucks. All a person had to do was ask for help and he was out the door. If you were broken down on the side of the highway he would usually stop to see if he could help you.

Roger retired from logging and Tyson Foods. He acquired many friends, all of them will remember him as a prankster and a great friend. At some point in life his logging buddies gave him the nickname Bur Rabbit, it was shortened to “Bur” and it stuck as his new name.

Just getting out and driving through the woods was his therapy. He knew most dirt roads in Scott County and took every opportunity to drive them. As an outdoorsman, he loved hunting and fishing. He owned many old camping trailers through the years just so he could sit on the lake bank and drown a worm. Even in his illness, he was looking forward to fishing for those elusive catfish.  He also loved going to the rodeo, but his passion was Bull Riding.

He was preceded in death by his parents “Pete” and “Cat” Leeper, his sister Cathy Leeper Payne and his beloved daughter Leanora “Lea” Leeper Rippy.

He leaves behind his wife Betty Ehrhart Leeper, his son William T Leeper and wife Maranda Miner Leeper. The joys of his life were his grandchildren, Anne Radcliff, Zoey Leeper, Victoria Leeper, and Slayde Leeper who he adopted. Three sisters Linda Robertson, Larain Smith, and Mary “Jody” McDaniel and husband Lloyd.  He also leaves behind many nieces and nephews and cousins.

He will be missed by many on this side of life, he has moved on to a new beginning.  One day we will see him again.  Love never dies, and he will not be forgotten by his family and friends. 

Rogers graveside life celebration will be 10:00 a.m. Tuesday, August 10, 2021 at the Center Point Cemetery near Waldron, Arkansas with Rev. Pat Ray Biggs and Rev. Michael Briggs officiating. Interment will follow. Arrangements are being entrusted to the Heritage Memorial Funeral Home in Waldron, Arkansas.
