Surprising Uses for Paper Shreddings

It’s essential that we protect our information. Shredder machines are great at providing us with a quick and easy way to destroy documents we no longer need. From there, there are many ways that shredded paper can be used to help with other areas of our lives. Exploring alternate ways to using our paper shreddings can save money and be safer for the air and our environment. Here are some surprising uses for paper shreddings that you can apply to your daily tasks.

Fire Starting

Shredded paper is an excellent way to build a flame to start a fire. It offers you an option of using something more natural than accelerants such as lighter fluid, and it has the benefit of disintegrating to ash for an easy clean up. You may want to place shreddings in a cardboard egg carton or paper envelope in order to contain them as you build your fire.

Homemade Paper

Looking for a new and fun craft you can do that gives back to the environment? Consider recycling your shreddings to make your own paper. This is a fun activity that can be done outside when the weather permits. With a tutorial video and the right supplies, you can make your own paper in no time.

Craftwork

Papier-mâché may be something you associate with school projects. But it can be fun after school, too. With papier-mâché, you can make household items such as baskets, bowls, or lamps. For best results, let each layer dry as you add to it. After projects dry, they can be sealed and used! This is a unique way to use your shreddings.

Composting

Recycled and shredded paper is incredibly useful for composting. Mix grass clippings and paper shreddings into a compost bin or garden where there are other carbon materials. As the shredded paper is thoroughly mixed and saturated, it will harden and help suppress oxygen.

Hamster Bedding

Pets in general can get expensive, especially the ones who don’t go to the bathroom outside. A hamster or gerbil cage can stink in a hurry. The use of paper shreddings for bedding inside cages not only can save you loads of money on pet supplies but also offer comfort for the pet. Additionally, it’ll allow you to change out the shreddings more regularly.

Basket Filler

Gift-giving seems like an endless purchasing of tissue paper, doesn’t it? Paper shreddings are a great “filler” for baskets and bags. This way, the negative space is taken up and the gift items are showcased. No one’s going to notice that the basket filler is actually your old documents as long as you use a micro-cut or cross-cut shredder. Strips may be too obvious.

These are simply a few surprising uses for paper shreddings. When purging old paperwork, it’s worth exploring the many ways to repurpose shredded paper. This is a material that’s definitely not worth filling a landfill with since it can benefit us and the Earth in many ways.

Council Gives Approval to Proceed with Civil Litigation

The Greenwood City Council met in regular session on Monday evening, April 5, at 7 p.m. Council members present were Ralph Meeker, Daniel McDaniel, Lance Terry, and Tim Terry. Councilmen A.C. Brown and Rod Powell were absent. Also present, Mayor Doug Kinslow, City Clerk/Treasurer Sharla Derry, and City Attorney Mike Hamby.

As the meeting opened with prayer, Mayor Kinslow asked that those in attendance remember the family of Megan Whitson. Whitson passed away on Friday, April 2. Kinslow also asked everyone to remember former police officer Josh Mourton in prayer.

After approving the minutes of the March meeting, the council heard from Kenny Sunde, Executive Director of the South Sebastian County Boys and Girls Club. He thanked the council for approving the $24,000 allocation and reported on the work that had been done.

Joel Goldstein, Parks Commission Chairman, reported on the status of the drainage project at the city lake, and the completion of the curbing on the town square.

Finance Director Tom Marsh presented the financial reports, noting the increase in percentage of sales. Marsh stated he was “cautiously optimistic” about next quarter.

In items of old business, a budget amendment resolution to remove council raises from the 2021 budget. The motion was made, seconded and passed unanimously.

In matters of new business, a discussion regarding Freedom Fest. The council approved the plans for that event.

Next, Councilman McDaniel presented his concerns about Ordinance 19-01, regarding erosion control. McDaniel stated that he has heard a lot of complaints regarding the level of excavation and digging into the hillside. Planning Director Sonny Bell responded stating, “Do I like the way it looks, no…Construction does not look pretty when it starts. This is a long frame project, we have to monitor according to our ordinance.”

The construction project, according to Bell, has been ongoing since 2018, and that the dirtwork is estimated to be completed by August of 2020. Mayor Kinslow interjected, stating that it would be a good idea to have engineering plans attached to the building permit. Bell responded that the city does have a conceptual plan, and that is “all you can ask for.”

McDaniel stated “we cannot unring the bell,” and noted that the ordinance needs to be reviewed. Bell stated that although he doesn’t like it, he feels comfortable with it. The council went on to discuss adding an amendment to the ordinance, regarding grading and contouring.

Next, Kinslow recommended the council go into executive session to discuss the hiring of a new Street Department Director. Upon reconvening, Kinslow stated that no action was taken.

Next, City Attorney Mike Hamby gave an update regarding the pending litigation concerning the tree issue at Greenwood City Lake. (See related story) Hamby stated that a survey had been completed. He added that there are two statutes that will be applicable. He sought the blessing of the council to move forward with the civil litigation, which according to Hamby, could take “years.”

A member of the council asked if the homeowner was remorseful. Mayor Kinslow invited Parks Director Tammy Briley up to address the council regarding the matter. An audience member asked if this was a criminal act. Hamby responded that it would be criminal trespass, punishable by a fine. “I highly doubt it would be considered destruction of property,” Hamby added.

Kinslow asked if the council wanted to acknowledge the Park Commissions’ vote to proceed with civil litigation against the landowner. The council voted unanimously to move forward with the lawsuit. Hamby concluded that they would be seeking the maximum dollar amount.

Next, Briley reported on the ARDOT grant application to restore the old iron bridge at the city lake. She stated that she had been turned down. The council approved the motion for Briley to reapply for that grant.

The mayor then asked that the resolution amendment to adjust the salary schedule for the Street Director position be tabled. The motion was made, seconded, and passed unanimously.

With no other items on the agenda, the motion was made to adjourn the meeting.

Paris Defeats Cedarville 13-0; Sets up Big Rematch at Charleston on Friday

After scoring twelve runs and a shutout against Lamar on Monday, the Lady Eagles continued their torrid streak of getting base runners on and scoring them with timely hits to defeat the Cedarville Lady Pirates, 13-0. Paris was again led in the circle by the dominant pitching of senior Jadyn Hart who went the distance in the run-shortened game that ended in the fifth inning. Hart is putting up all-state honors numbers this year as she has already eclipse 100 strike outs on the year at the approximate halfway point of the high school softball season. Hart is also a threat to go deep every time she steps to the plate as the Lady Eagles’ lead-off hitter. Hart pitched both victories on Monday and Tuesday, and will now get some much needed rest before the Lady Eagles travel to Charleston on Friday for a huge conference game. Charleston is coming off a big 5-4 victory on Tuesday over the Hackett Lady Hornetts. Paris could find themselves in first place in the northern division with a win over the Lady Tigers on Friday.

Resident Press Photo

The Lady Eagles jumped on Cedarville early and never let up in their game on Tuesday. The combination of “small ball”, bunting runners into scoring position, and the timely deep hits of both Jadyn Hart and sophomore Jadyn Wells has made the Lady Eagles offense lethal with its combined speed on the base paths. Junior Karsyn Tencleve is hitting the ball extremely well and has made great plays in the outfield.

Resident Press Photo

After taking time off for the spring break and the Easter holiday, Paris is starting to hit its mid-season stride by playing consecutive games and gaining the consistency that it needs to make a conference title run. The team’s hopes are pinned to senior Jadyn Hart and her ability to pitch a lot of innings this season. Her coach, and father, Donald Hart, will have to use her judiciously throughout the remainder of the season to protect her availability in the stretch run and in the playoffs. With the Charleston win over Hackett, the time off over the next few days comes at a great time for Hart. Having pitched the last two consecutive days, she should be ready on Friday after two days rest.

Resident Press will be in Charleston on Friday to cover the baseball Eagles and their rematch with the Tigers. Paris won the first meeting in dramatic, come-from-behind fashion, and Friday’s game should be a good one in Charleston. The softball and baseball games at Charleston are scheduled to start Friday at 4:30 p.m. The baseball Eagles will step out of conference on Thursday and will travel to Fort Smith to play the Southside Mavericks. First pitch for that game on Thursday is scheduled for 5 p.m.

Charleston’s Ricky May Named to West All Star Football Coaching Staff

Charleston head football coach Ricky May was named last week to the 2021 Arkansas high school all star west team coaching staff. May, finishing his second year at Charleston as head football coach, led the Tigers to an undefeated conference championship in 3A-1 last fall.

Resident Press File Photo

In the 2019 season, May coached a Charleston team that was decimated by injury and lost its first three non-conference games of the season against a very tough Class 4A schedule. He and his staff were able to hold the team together in conference play and qualify for the playoffs. In 2020, May’s team defeated Class 4A Pottsville and proceeded to go undefeated in Class 3A-1 during the COVID season of uncertainty that saw players lose playing time due to contact tracing and illness. The Tigers finished first in their conference and defeated Mayflower in the first round of the state tournament. Charleston was eliminated from the playoffs by losing at home to eventual quarterfinalist Glen Rose. Charleston played with a very young roster in 2020, and the Tigers will return several players from the conference championship team and should be the preseason pick to win the conference again in 2021.

Resident Press File Photo

I asked Coach May what being selected to the all-star staff meant to him and the Charleston program. Coach May responded by saying, “It is a great privilege, honor, and blessing to be voted by my peers to be on the all star staff. I feel like this is a staff / community award because it takes all of us pulling together and that’s why we had a good year and won the conference. It’s even more special because we had a player, Dalton Curtis, voted onto the team along with my wife, who coaches cheer at Booneville, was voted on the all star staff, as well.”

Congratulations to coach Ricky May and the Charleston football program. Tigers fans should have a great season in 2021 to look forward to as Charleston will again be in the conversation for yet another championship.

Diamond Dog Bats Hit Air Versus Pottsville

When it comes to life, you win some you lose some. On March 31, the Waldron Bulldogs baseball battle against Cossatot was anything but easy. Although every Diamond Dog reached a base somehow, it still took six pitchers to grind out the 19-15 win. Pitching for the Bulldogs was Matt Brigance, Braden Williams, Jaden Hutchens, Noah Patrick, Kaden Rogers, and Blake Owens. “We did not play a clean game but we hit the ball well,” stated Coach Mark Brigance. “Offensively we did the things to be good, for instance, getting a hit after an error or walk. These were the goals which we are looking for. Highlights on offense were a bases-clearing triple by Braden Williams and highlights on defense were some nifty plays by Jaden Hutchens.”

The next night, on April 1, Waldron went bats down in a 9-15 loss against the Booneville Bearcats. “Ending the night offensively was Matthew Brigance with 1 hit and scored twice. Braden Williams with 1 hit, 2 stolen bases, and a score. Caden Fuller with 2 Doubles, 1 RBI, and a score. Blake Owens with 2 singles,1 RBI, and a score. Payton Justice with 1 single, bb, and scored twice. Kaden Rogers with 1 hit and a score. And Jaden Hutchens with a single, sac fly, 2 rbi, and a score.” Starting pitcher for this match-up was Caden Fuller who worked a couple of innings along with Blake Owens who pitched 4 innings only giving up three hits. “Defensively, we had some nice catches in the outfield made by Bryson Bailey and Caden Fuller as well as a Drake Carnley to Hutchens to Jesse Dees double play. We are still struggling on defense by not playing the ball well but we can work on that. Very proud of the fight we had. We got down early and started putting some good offensive innings together. But the guys kept scoring no matter what the score was.”

The Diamond Dogs kicked off the week Monday, April 5 with an away game against the Pottsville Apaches and although it didn’t turn out quite as planned with a 5-15 loss, Waldron still remained calm and played hard all the way through. Leading the hitting was Drake Carnley with 2 hits and Matthew Brigance with 3. “We had trouble in the first inning. We struggled to throw strikes and then we didn’t field the ball well. That led us into more trouble. We bounced back on the mound with Noah Patrick throwing 4.1 innings of almost shut put ball. We had opportunities at the plate to score more runs. Take that away and we would have been much better.” With another battle tonight, The Diamond Dogs will turn their focus toward the top-ranked Danville Little Johns. “They are leading our side of the conference so they will be tough,” Coach Brigance concluded.

Lady Rattlers Snatch The Arrows For Big Win

Pictured is Liz Greek

It doesn’t get much closer than this! When it came down to which packed a bigger punch, a snake bite or an arrow, the Magazine Lady Rattlers proved last night that it most definitely is a snake bite. Magazine hosted the Lavaca Lady Golden Arrows and after seven intense innings, the Lady Rattlers coiled up with a 9-8 win. The Lady Arrows were first on the board as they led 1-0 at the end of the first inning. But after failing to score in the top of the second, the Lady Rattlers cashed in on Lavaca’s stumble. Destiny Corley scored first for Magazine while Gracen Thompson earned a run on a Kylie Robinson fly ball to left field sending the score to 2-1 Magazine.

As the Lady Rattlers were finding their groove, the Lady Arrows shot into the top of the third smashing out five runs jumping the score to 6-2 Lavaca. Magazine started to slightly sweat as they could only knock out 2 runs in the bottom of the third as Destiny and Gracen each stole home upgrading the board to 6-4 Lavaca. The Lady Arrows then went stale in the top of the fourth only bringing in one run which then enabled the Lady Rattlers to make their move. Destiny Corley tripled on a fly ball to left field granting permission for Hope Cox and Kiara Vasquez to each score. Destiny and Gracen next earned a misdemeanor as they both stole home base highlighting the board to 8-7 Magazine.

#12 Gracen Thompson

With each team only capitalizing on one more run apiece (Robinson snagged the final run for the Lady Rattlers) the dust bowl was over with Magazine taking the 9-8 victory. Elizabeth Greek pitched all seven innings propelling 109 pitches to 32 batters striking out 12. With a total of 21 putouts in the Lady Rattlers field events, Vasquez led with 13. “It was a tough game last night but it put us in a three-way tie with Lavaca and Westside for the third seed in conference play,” explained Coach Buck Chappell. “We turned a 1-6-3 double play in the top of the 7th with no outs which was huge! We just stayed positive yesterday and when we got down I told the girls it’s never over and to keep plugging. Had a good inning when Lavaca’s pitcher walked bases loaded and got a couple of runs at a crucial time. Had a big inning with freshman, Destiny Corley, who burnt their left fielder with a bases-loaded triple. It lifted their spirits and a double play with no outs and a runner on in the top of the 7th pretty much sealed the game.”

Coach Chappell with the Lady Rattlers

With no plans of slowing down just yet, the Lady Rattlers still have three more games ahead of them this week. “Softball is such a short season and to get enough games in to determine our caliber for post-season play it’s crucial to get as many games as we can in order to work on the things we need to improve on during the limited practice times. I try to make it fun for the girls because this is a game and it’s supposed to be fun but the girls know when it’s crunch time they have to put out a little more effort in order to be successful.” Tonight, Magazine will host the Mulberry Lady Yellowjackets. “The game with Mulberry should be a good win for us. I’m hoping to save Liz and pitch my JV pitcher to help with this long week. We will need to be able to score runs today against a slower pitcher.”

Senior, Kiara Vasquez, is the first Lady Rattler to hit a homerun in an official home game

As for the remainder of the week, “We will be on the road, going to Acorn, Russellville and we are also playing in the Tyson Classic at Pottsville, Saturday where we will play Pottsville and Morriltons JV teams. I like to stop and let the girls eat before games and if we do well we usually stop after the game for ice cream or something like that if it is a further away game. It is also getting closer to the end of school especially for seniors so they have to stay focused on their studies. I had two that needed to leave after the varsity game Monday to work on an assignment due Friday and the team was fine with that. Hopefully, we can have a good week and compete against Acorn Thursday. The second round of conference games will be exciting and detrimental to seeding for the tournament.”

Paris Defeats Lamar 12-2; Hosts Cedarville Lady Pirates Today in Conference Play

Around the state, high school softball teams are going into April and the accelerated portions of their conference schedules. From this point forward, the season will move along quickly, and before we know it, the district, regional, and state tournaments will be upon us. The Paris Lady Eagles went into Monday’s non-conference game with Class 4A Lamar with a 6-6 record following two close losses last weekend in the Logan County tournament. Lamar defeated Hackett in the same tournament, just a few days after Hackett handily defeated Paris just before the Easter break.

Resident Press Photo

So Monday’s sound defeat of Lamar by Paris was not expected by anyone. The two schools have a long history of being 3A conference rivals, and most expected a highly competitive game between the two proud programs. But the day belonged to Paris who could seemingly do no wrong, and for Lamar who couldn’t handle another dominating pitching performance by the Lady Eagles’ Jadyn Hart.

Resident Press Photo

The Lady Eagles will return to their home field again this afternoon to resume conference play against the Cedarville Lady Pirates. The game is critical to both schools who are trying to keep pace with Hackett in divisional play. Paris will need some of the run production that it showed on Monday in today’s game with the Lady Pirates. Paris will travel to Charleston on Friday for a return match against the Lady Tigers that could have gone either way in their first meeting that resulted in a win for Paris. The loss to Hackett and the future game with Charleston on Friday makes today’s game extremely important for the Lady Eagles.

Resident Press Photo

Today’s first pitch is scheduled for 5 p.m. Get your lawn chairs and come out to the ballpark to enjoy great high school softball! You can also listen to today’s baseball game at 4:30 p.m. on thesportsbrew.net when the Eagles host Cedarville across campus.

Resident Press Photo

Resident Press will bring you complete coverage of today’s softball game with Cedarville in tomorrow evening’s online edition.

Additional photos from Monday’s softball game with Lamar are available on Facebook at Paris Eagles Sports. Fans from both schools are welcomed to view and / or copy the photos at no charge.

Today’s games are huge for both the Paris baseball and softball teams, and I hope to see all of you Paris fans out at the ballpark today!

Lady Bulldogs Tame The Outlaws

Pictured is Ashton Young

The Waldron Lady Bulldogs have suffered a few mishaps since Spring Break but as I always say, “Slow and steady wins the race”! Although progress may be slow, the Lady Bulldogs are still a fairly young team with four seniors, two juniors, a sophomore, and three freshmen in the starting lineup. But the softball tide is already shifting in Waldron’s favor as the girls picked up their first win last night since March 18. The Lady Bulldogs were able to break the Lady Outlaws and walk away with an 11-3 victory.

“We have committed entirely too many defensive errors this season,” explained Coach Bailey Moore. “Pair that with a struggling offense and it’s tough to win games. Our bats have been cold so we can’t recover from our defensive errors. I have four seniors but two are having to play a new position this year. We have three juniors, one sophomore, and the rest are freshmen.”

When it came to wrangling the Lady Outlaws, Rheagan Sanford led the offense with 3/4 at the plate and 4/4 on base. She had two RBIs and three stolen bases. Kyleigh Coker and Emily Powell both went for .500 at the plate and on the bases. Kyleigh Coker stepped up as a freshman in center and made some value plays for Waldron and came up with two RBIs. Pitcher, Ashton Young, had an OBP of .600 with a triple and struck out nine batters from the rubber, and didn’t allow a single walk.

Next up, the Lady Bulldogs will host Danville tonight, April 6 where they plan to clean the Lady Little Johns. “I’m hoping we continue to find our bats tonight. We have been cleaning up our defense slowly but our bats have to come alive to keep us in the game. Hoping we can work some of that out tonight against Danville.”

Mansfield Tigers “Steal” The Rebels Thunder

After coming off of two huge league wins against Magazine, the Mansfield Tigers picked right back up where they left off as they took JC Westside to the cleaners in Monday night’s 15-4 victory. Mansfield immediately took control of the game in the first inning with a 9-0 run and although the Rebels were able to secure three runs at the top of the fifth, it just wasn’t enough to overthrow the Tigers.

Braxton Byers got the party started for Mansfield in the bottom of the first as he doubled on a ground ball to left field bringing Nate Brewer, Aaron Brewer, and Fisher Willsey home. Next, it was nothin’ but steals for the Tigers as both Trenton Leroy and Cody Fudge stole home to bring the score to 5-0 Mansfield. After stealing second and third base, Drew Elmore was able to score on a Peyton Martin line drive to center field upgrading the board to 6-0. But wait there’s more! With feet as quick as a hiccup, the Tigers continued their stealing streak and ended the inning with three more stolen home scores from Trey Vaughan, Martin, and Nate Brewer.

#13 Randy Claude

JC Westside was able to get on the board in the top of the second inning but Mansfield quickly responded back when Willsey scored on a Byers line drive to left field keeping the Tigers on top 10-1. The Rebels struggled to make anything happen in the third inning so Mansfield unleashed their Tigers and hammered out four more runs. Nate Brewer singled on a ground ball to shortstop allowing Vaughan to score moving the cards 11-1. Then Martin, Aaron Brewer, and Randy Claude turned around and stole home ending the third inning 14-1 Mansfield. With all quiet on the Rebels front in the top of the fourth, Vaughan secured the Tiger’s final score of the game and after three runs by JC Westside in the top of the fifth, Mansfield took the “Dub” 15-4.

Pitching for the Tigers was Braxton Byers for three innings where he catapulted 35 throws to 12 batters earning 3 strikeouts and Fisher Willsey who worked two innings facing 11 batters with 43 pitches striking out 5. Mansfield also refused to commit a single error in the field and earned a total of 15 putouts with Cody Fudge scooping up 9 followed by Claude with 3, Aaron Brewer with 2, and Elmore with 1. After an away JV game tonight against Magazine, the Tigers will host the Lavaca Golden Arrows on Thursday, April 8.
