Randy Scaggs, a student affairs professional at North Arkansas College in Harrison, said earning his doctorate in adult and lifelong learning from the U of A was very important to him both personally and professionally.
The White River in Northwest Arkansas is where my love of trout fishing was born. This world class fishery flows from the base of Bull Shoals Dam southeast to its confluence with the Mississippi. The upper 30 miles of the White is one of the greatest trout fishing destinations in the country. Anglers descend on this mecca for both numbers and the chance at a trout of a lifetime.
Arkansas offers one of the greatest fishing spots for children in the country at Dry Run Creek. This gorgeous little stream, located next to the Norfork National Fish Hatchery a few miles east of Mountain Home, is full of giant trout. It fishes for less than a mile from the hatchery outflow to its confluence with the Norfork River just below the dam. Only youths under 16 and mobility impaired anglers may fish Dry Run Creek.

Whether you’re starting 2021 with a Dryuary or toasting the New Year until the fetid smell of 2020 has worn off, January’s become a time to get thoughtful about alcohol what we love, what we hate and what role it plays in our newly pandemic-stricken social lives. It’s also the month when, in 1919, Arkansas ratified the Eighteenth Amendment, establishing prohibition in the state and ushering in a formalized relationship between booze and government. So, in January 2021, the Arkansas Times
raises a glass to all things boozy with a series we’re calling Drink/Drank/Drunk: our city’s great cocktails and mocktails, the history of temperance in the state, brews to try before you die, a boozy playlist and more.
