JASPER — Acorn or “akern,” no matter which way you pronounce it, those little nuts falling from oaks during the 2022 Arkansas elk hunt played a pivotal role in hunters fulfilling a lifelong dream last month.

WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator John Boozman released the following statement in commemoration of Veterans Day: “As the son of a veteran, I know brave, honorable Americans have defended our freedom for generations. These men and women gave so much, in some cases their very lives, and deserve our support, respect and admiration. This Veterans Day, we once again take the opportunity to express tremendous gratitude to every former servicemember – especially those in The Natural State who are such vital parts of our families and communities. We can never fully repay them, but they will always have our appreciation for serving and sacrificing to protect our nation.”

FLIPPIN - As any aspiring writer will tell you, sometimes the words flow. I mean, like you can’t even shut them up! But there are other days that you question if you have anything... ANYTHING... that anyone wants to read. This has been one of those weeks for me. It’s also been crazy busy. One of those weeks that makes me question why I ever retired!
