Oliver Appointed to Women’s Leadership Committee

The women of the Farm Bureau Leadership Committee serve the community and educate the younger generation on farming and agriculture.

Regina Oliver, along with seven other women, will serve on the 2020-2021 State Women’s Leadership Committee.

Members of the committee are:
Chair- Magen Allen, Hot Spring and Clark County
Vice Chair- Kerry Stiles, District 1, Lee County
District 2- Amy Young, Jackson County
District 3- Nita Cooper, Boone County
District 4- Regina Oliver, Scott County
District 5- Divella Gray, Yell and Cleburne County
District 6- Susan Bitely, Jefferson and Lincoln County
District 7- Doreen Antley, Hempstead County

Oliver, and her husband Mike, own and operate Double O Farm, a beef cattle, hay and timber farm. She is a third generation farmer and resides in Scott County.

“My husband, Mike and I live in Waldron. We live on Lake Hinkle, formally the Oliver family land, where the lake was built and where Mike’s family farmed. We also farm some of the same land and additional family owned and homesteaded land west of us, where we raise beef cattle. The farm is my favorite place to hang out, working cattle or just watching the calves being born or as they run and play. We have two sons, Aaron and Tyler, their wives and four grandsons, Keyton (11), Brady (6), Dawson (3) and Rhys (3). We all spend many hours together on the farm hunting, fishing, working cattle or just skipping a rock on the creek.
I was not raised on a farm, but had family members that were, and have been around cattle and lived a country life always. I married Mike in the early 1980s and was introduced in beef cattle farming and then later to the timber industry. We are still involved in both. I love anything to do with the farm from cutting hay (which has become my job) to feeding on the coldest winter days while everyone else is snugged up by a fire.
I have worked for the city of Waldron for 25 years as a secretary and have been involved in many projects and events. I am a member of the Waldron school board and have served as secretary. I was introduced to Scott County Farm Bureau WLC in 2013 and have been deeply involved ever since. I now serve as its committee chair. I enjoy anything that involves our local students and when you add farming to the equation, it’s even more rewarding. My main goal is to educate students in agriculture and to keep small farms alive within our county.
In my down time, my passion is my grandkids. I also love taking pictures, gardening, canning and just sitting on the porch watching the sunrise or sunset. Farming with my husband and kids is my joy. There is no better way of life that I want nor chose to live, but this one.”

Congratulations to Oliver on being named to this committee, we appreciate the time and effort she contributes to our community and schools.

Sr Hornets Put Up Good Fight But Fall Short To Pirates

In last Friday nights Hackett Sr High Hornets game versus the Cedarville Pirates, the Hornets were a prime example of what determination looks like. Although they didn’t take the 28-20 win, they did take the second half butt-kicker trophy. Down 12-0 by halftime, Hackett shot back on the field to deliver three towering touchdowns before ending the game.

QB, Ethan “Superman” Slavens completed 13/26 passes for 176 yards, 3 TDs, and 1 interception. Weston Winters had 21 carries for 85 yards. Fischer Shipman earned 7 catches for 129 yards and 3 TDs. And Peyton Hester snagged 3 catches for 51 yards. Defensively, Isaiah Carter and Mason Oelke each made 1 pancake with Carter also making 3 solo tackles and 1 sack. Weston Winters had 14 solo tackles and 9 assists. Peyton Hester scored 11 solos and 8 assists. Fischer Shipman got 7 solos and 2 assists. Logan Slavens delivered 6 solos and 1 assist. And Jesse Esparza gained 4 solos and 1 assist.

“We did not execute good enough to win,” explained head coach, Michael Meador. “We had our chances and came up short. I am most impressed by our players’ effort in the whole game. We didn’t give up. We were down by 14 in the fourth quarter and came back and tied it.” This game puts the Hornets at 1-1 in conference play.

This Friday, October 16, the Hackett Hornets will have an exciting away game with the Charleston Tigers who sit 3-0 in conference. “Friday should be another hard-fought game. Charleston is well-coached and has some good players. We need to execute better and play our game. That will give us the best chance to win. Our O-line has a big week as well as the D-Line. This game will be won in the trenches!”

Paris Remains Undefeated in Conference Play With 3-0 Win Over Booneville in Final Home Match

Paris Remains Undefeated in Conference Play With 3-0 Win Over Booneville in Final Home Match

In the most unusual of high school volleyball seasons, the Paris Lady Eagles completed a perfect home record for the 2020 season with a 3-0 win over Booneville Monday night. The Lady Eagles will travel to West Fork on Thursday for their final conference match of the regular season. Paris will play a non-conference, varsity only match at Hot Springs Fountain Lake on Saturday.

Although the Lady Eagles are undefeated, including a 3-2 win at Hackett earlier in the season, Paris will likely be denied the top seed going into next week’s district tournament. The reason is a loophole in the Arkansas Activities Association’s (AAA) policy on make-up games and the determination of seeding for the state tournament due to COVID reasons. Absent from the AAA policy is an element that requires that all missed games due to COVID reasons be made up. Simply put, if a team, such as Paris, misses a game due to COVID quarantine, and finishes the season with fewer conference wins, the loss of conference games played will lower the team’s seeding to a team that has played more conference games. In short, if a team refuses to schedule a make-up game, even though there is ample opportunity to make-up the missed game, there is no penalty from the AAA for refusing to play. Paris will likely go into next week’s district tournament as a number two seed to Hackett, who will likely go as the top seed in the tournament. This, in spite that the Lady Eagles have a head-to-head win against Hackett, and have not lost a conference match. Paris lost the opportunity to play conference matches for reasons beyond their control, yet teams have the opportunity to take control and not agree to schedule the missed matches. Due to COVID, Paris lost the opportunity to play Charleston on September 22, Green Forest on September 28, Elkins on September 29, Lincoln on October 1, and Hackett on October 6. The Lady Eagles quarantine was lifted on Saturday, October 3 for most of their players, and the full Paris roster was out of quarantine on Wednesday, October 7. Dates such as Wednesday, October 7, Saturday October 10, Wednesday, October 14, and Saturday, October 17 were all available dates for make-up games. Add to this; if all of the conference games throughout the 3A West had been made-up prior to October 17, there would have been no district tournament held the week of October 19. So, just for illustration purposes, the opportunity was present from the AAA policy to not play a make-up game, gain a higher seed, and take your chances in the district tournament by playing fewer games to reach the championship by using a higher seed. As I pointed out, that scenario is also possibly unfolding in football, and it will be very interesting to see, if for example, if Booneville now having lost the opportunity to play two conference football games, will actually look at the possibility of losing a top one or two seed due to the loss of opportunities to play due to the AAA policy. Will there be more noise made by the football powers than what has happened in volleyball? We will see.

It is a tragedy that this loophole exist. Kids pay for the absence of the requirement to play the missed matches, and their parents and fans who support them all year are left wondering what has happened…how can this be? This is not the fault of any school or schools; the blame lies with the AAA for allowing it to happen.

But more on that later. Resident Press will have a preview of next week’s district tournament as soon as the tournament bracket and match-ups are known.

In Monday night’s game with Booneville, the Lady Eagles were pushed in the first two sets. Although Paris once again defeated Booneville 3-0, the Lady Bearcats competed hard in the make-up game with Paris. Booneville is to be commended for playing the make-up game, and for the progress the Lady Bearcats have made throughout the season. In fact, Booneville may be the most improved team in the 3A West conference, much like Waldron from a year ago. Booneville could be a dangerous team that could fight its way into the state tournament with the district tournament being held on their home floor next week.

Paris has struggled with good teams throughout the season. No doubt, the Lady Eagles are feeling the effects of unexpectedly having to suspend all activities for two weeks in the middle of the season. But at this point, it will be critical for Paris to continue working hard and to re-establish the momentum it had before the layoff. West Fork and Fountain Lake will provide opportunities for Paris to play its way back into the rhythm it had before the required quarantine and suspension of play. The district tournament, that was not previously scheduled, but now will be played according to AAA policy to determine state seeds from the 3A West conference, will provide another week for the Lady Eagles to get more games in before the state tournament. So, the goal for Paris is to hit their peak in two weeks so that they are again at the top of their game entering the all important week of state tournament play.

And in light of what has happened at the end of the conference season, the Lady Eagles should have plenty of motivation going into next week.

Resident Press will be in West Fork on Thursday to cover the Lady Eagles final conference match against the Lady Tigers. Watch for a recap of the match with West Fork on Friday afternoon in Resident Press.

UAEX: Don’t let Misconceptions Deter You, Get a Flu Shot

Arkansans shouldn’t let the COVID-19 pandemic distract them from a more familiar fall and winter foe: Influenza.

Last winter, Arkansas reported about 40,000 cases of flu, according to the Arkansas Department of Health. There were 118 flu-related deaths, three of which were children.

“Getting vaccinated against flu is more important now, than ever,” Bryan Mader, assistant professor for the University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture and an extension nutrition specialist, said. “The flu vaccine can keep you from getting the flu, make the flu less severe if you do get it, and keep you from spreading flu to your family and friends.”

Mader says there are two misconceptions that sometimes prevent people from taking the flu vaccine.

“One common misconception about the flu vaccine is that it can actually give you the flu,” he said. “This is not true, and in fact, flu shots are made with inactivated viruses that will not cause illness.

“A second myth is that getting a flu vaccine will increase your risk of getting COVID-19,” Mader said. “This is also not true, and there is no evidence that getting a flu vaccination increases your risk of becoming ill from a coronavirus, like the one that causes COVID-19.”

Flu vaccines are available at the local Arkansas Department of Health office (search for your local office https://www.healthy.arkansas.gov/local-health-units).

The state Department of Health also holds mass flu clinics at various locations throughout the state. The Arkansas Department of Health does not charge out-of-pocket costs for a flu shot and does not require insurance for receiving a flu shot, but you are encouraged to bring insurance information if you have it, Mader said.

Arkansans may obtain a flu vaccine through their employer’s health insurance program, doctor’s office or local pharmacy, which may be located within a grocery or supermarket. Public schools may also offer mass flu clinics (see the schedule https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1X1DhzVQl1jEZ6OEwq0FbCEZhJBSh1qYkNXeSqAJ0JIo/edit?usp=sharing).

Sr Bulldogs Raided As Warriors Go On Warpath

Pictured is QB Braden Williams and Trenton Hunt

On Friday, October 9th, the Waldron Sr High Bulldogs hosted conference foes the Lamar Warriors. The first three-quarters of the game was evenly matched with each team nipping on the other’s heels. The fourth quarter started with a score of 26-21 Lamar. Fans were anxiously waiting to see how the next few minutes were going to pan out. But unfortunately, that is where the bus stopped for the Bulldogs as they would fail to put any more points on the board ending the game with a final score of 40-21 Lamar. Waldron now sits 0-2 in conference play. “The game Friday was disappointing,” explained head coach, Doug Powell. “I feel the guys played hard, but failure to do the small things kept us from being successful.”

The Bulldogs brought in 258 yards offensively Friday night. “Not being able to execute what we practiced and mental mistakes put us in bad positions. When that happened, we needed big plays. Although we made some of the big plays, logic says you will not make them all.” Leo Lopez ended the night successfully making 3/3 PATs. Trenton Hunt ran the ball in from 11-yards out to deliver the first Bulldog TD. Waldron’s second TD came from a Braden Williams to Isaac “The Real” Villarreal 47-yard pass. And definitely the play of the game was when Gabino Grano knocked the Warriors ball loose allowing Matthew Tegtmeyer to zoom in for a scoop and score.

The Bulldogs defense getting the job done

“We continue to battle when faced with adversity. But we need to minimize how much adversity we face by executing more consistently.” For the next conference royal, Waldron will travel to Pottsville on Friday, October 16 to take on the Apaches. “Pottsville will be like the last two games. It should be hard-fought and highly contested. We do not have to shake anything up in terms of how we play. We just have to improve our consistency of execution on the offensive and defensive fronts.”

Fall Fishing Heating Up in the Natural State

Fall Fishing Heating Up in the Natural State

By Chuck Long AGFC Northeast Regional Educator, Jonesboro

JONESBORO — As the temperatures drop and the leaves change color, the thoughts of most Arkansans turn to the pursuit of deer, ducks, squirrels and other game. Fishing is put on the back burner, but the changing seasons and dropping temperatures will spur the fish of Arkansas into a feeding frenzy that can lead to some of the best angling days of the year.

As waters warm in the early months of the year, fish are spurred to the shallows looking to spawn. Initiated by water temperature, this move to the shallows can occur at different times for different species, thus providing target species at different times. But during the fall months, all these species are driven to congregate by the need to feed before winter sets in. This provides anglers with a possible mixed bag on any given day. Fall fish are there to feed and their voracious appetites make them great targets for a day on the water.

The fall feed occurs on lakes, rivers, streams and creeks and each one provides an angler with great opportunities. These fish will also fall for a wide variety of baits, thus allowing an angler to be successful with their favorite style of fishing.

Fish in large, clear-water upland impoundments often follow large schools of shad. These shad are also trying to feed before winter sets in and can be found on long points, drop-offs and brush piles. Small crankbaits can be good, but the fish might also hit spoons or even topwaters. Perhaps one of the most overlooked lures for fall fishing is a 3-inch paddletail grub. Fished on a ⅛-ounce jighead, a smoke or pearl grub will catch most any fish in the lake, including bass, crappie, white bass, stripers and even an occasional catfish.

In smaller lowland lakes, the fish tend to venture toward shoreline cover. Cypress trees and brush piles, especially those that might be in a little deeper water are often used as ambush points by hungry fish. Smaller lakes provide a little more targeted fishing, so lures like a jig and pig and spinnerbaits can produce bass. Crappie in these lakes will fall for the standard crappie jigs in a color appropriate for the water. In clearer water, natural colors like smoke and pearl will produce, while dirtier water may call for a red or black with chartreuse. A 1/16-ounce jighead with a jig in the 2- to 3-inch range will be very appealing to a crappie trying to beef up for the winter.

Flowing waters offer their most interesting fishing of the year as the leaves change and begin to fall. Many species of fish that inhabit rivers and streams will begin to feed aggressively and often stack in large numbers in the same general locations in search of food. A very important tool in fishing a river is being able to read the river and its current flow. Falling leaves can provide a great clue of likely locations to cast a line. As the leaves fall and settle on the water’s surface, they will flow downstream with the current and these flowing leaves will tell an observant angler exactly where to cast. Eddies, backflows and current breaks will be evident by the actions of the leaves on the surface, thus indicating likely locations a fish could be using as an ambush point.

A white or white/chartreuse spinnerbait is a tried and true lure for river bass in the fall. Targeting eddies and backflows with a jig and pig or a creature bait can also be very effective. Once again, the traditional crappie jigs will catch papermouths and a variety of other species, but a step up to a slightly heavier jighead and a slightly larger profile jig can be very productive. A black-and-chartreuse jig fished slowly in an eddy or behind a current break can fill a cooler with river crappie.

Whether it be a river or lake, fall is a great time to be on the water. Not only are the fish actively feeding, the crowds have dwindled and the scenery can be spectacular. Check out agfc.com under the “Fishing” tab for some ideas of where to go and a weekly fishing report.
