Fort Smith Times Record
Food insecurity is a major issue in the Fort Smith region. Because of its importance, the Times Record will soon have a reporter to focus on it.
Catherine Nolte, a 2021 honors graduate of John Brown University s communications department, will join our reporting staff on June 7 and work alongside reporters Alex Gladden, and Ty Thompson, and photographer Jamie Mitchell.
Nolte s position is in partnership with The Ground Truth Project s Report For America. The Times Record was chosen in December to become a host newsroom beginning this year. While her position is funded in part by Report For America, Nolte will be a Times Record journalist. Her work will help shed more light on this crucial issue of food insecurity and hopefully help the Fort Smith region find solutions to a problem that impacts all levels of society.

His neck was broken; his brain, scrambled.
“The real problem was, which I found out later, that all the concussions I had before added up, and this one was the straw that broke the camel’s back,” said Dollar, a two-time world record holder for biggest wave ever surfed (one at Maverick’s, another at Cortes Bank). “When I went up to the Amen Clinic, the results from the scans looked like I had played high school, college, and pro football. I had the brain of a pro football playe
