Each year the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission hosts the annual Free Fishing Weekend and Fishing Derby in order for families to enjoy the outdoors and the sport of fishing. The activity encourages angling and spending time with friends and family. Recruiting new anglers isn’t just about getting the kids interested but starting new family adventures.

TUSCALOOSA, AL - Caroline Goodman was named to The University of Alabama Presidents List for Spring Semester 2022. A total of 11,224 students enrolled during Spring Semester 2022 at The University of Alabama were named to the dean’s list with an academic record of 3.5 (or above) or the president’s list with an academic record of 4.0 (all A’s).

Stephen M. Long’s barn, the largest one in or near Corning, caught fire from some unknown cause last Wednesday night about ten o’clock and burned completely, the fire having gained such headway that the interior was a roaring mass of flames before scarcely anyone knew there was a fire in town. This is the third barn burned in Corning within the past year. Willis Heaton’s about a year ago and W.D. Polk’s last Summer.

The other day I read a quote that made me stop and take pause. It read, “Don’t ever work for someone you don’t want to become.” Now at first glance, it makes perfect sense. Some might read that and say to themselves, “Well, of course. That’s a no-brainer. I would never do that.” At closer inspection though, how many people do we all know who work for bosses or companies who exhibit qualities that are unbecoming or downright negative?

Each year some friends and I have been joining my sister and her daughter and some friends from Michigan in the home of a niece in St. Charles, Missouri in mid-August and we have had a great time together...eight women in a mobile home! Since some of them had never seen the mountains of Arkansas we decided to change locations of the get-together this year and have them all come here, then on to Eureka Springs and Mountain View.
