Good Morning. I’ve contacted local sheriffs office and our local game warden. Sheriffs office was zero help and I’m still awaiting a call back from the AGFC.
We’ve put up a gate, posted signage per the state regulations and purple paint and verbally told him he does not have permission to be on the private property.
We have an attorney that will serve him with a cease to trespass notice tomorrow but just wondering if anyone has experience with this and advice on how to proceed. His UTV is currently parked just outside our gate, can I put a written notice on his UTV.
County sheriff’s office story is they “can’t do anything as it’s a civil issue and we can’t prove who’s property it is” which is complete BS, we can absolutely prove who owns the property but what do you do when the dispatch supervisor won’t send out a deputy?
Any cool places to hunt for rocks or buy plants or thrift store junk really close by? We have been to some of the mines closer to hot springs. Little too far away.

I can't seem to find the answer anywhere. In May, I got certified to teach high school math. You can not be licensed without obtaining a job, which I have yet to do. Does anyone know how long I have to find one??
Everything I've seen is about the 5 yr license.
[Updated] Harrison, Arkansas recorded a hefty 7.83 inches of rain yesterday, a record for November 4. This amount is close to the entire monthly record of 10.75 inches in November 1968. It's also the second daily rainfall record in less than a week for the Harrison station.
The 7.83 inch total shattered the previous November daily rainfall record of 3.32 inches for November 3, 1974. Also, the previous 24-hour rainfall record for November was 4.72 inches in 2006.
Without using data from a different calendar day, the 7.83 inch total is also enough to beat the 24-hour maximum rainfall ever recorded at Harrison, the 6.39 inches reported on December 2-3, 1982. The official record may be higher once the hourly totals are analyzed.
And finally, this is the most rain ever recorded in a calendar day at Harrison, with records going back to 1891. The previous daily record was 5.70 inches on August 19, 1915. This will be the first day in the 21st century to appear in the top 10 wettest calendar days.
When you combine yesterday's record with the rainfall from earlier in the month and with the additional rain falling today, Harrison will easily surpass the November monthly rainfall record from 1968 by the end of the day.
Harrison hasn't had a top 10 wettest month recorded since May 1990. It's looking like November 2024 may soon join that list. The Number 10 wettest month is currently 12.86 inches.
Harrison is also set to tie a record for Longest Period of Consecutive Days, Measurable Rainfall (at or above 2.00 inch). The previous record is three days from April 23 to 25, 2021. The tying days will be November 3 to 5, 2024.
I will try to update as a few more records become official.
UPDATE: Harrison recorded 2.09 inches, another daily record, on November 6, 2024, bringing the monthly total to 12.38 inches, which means that November 2024 will be the wettest November on record. This is not enough to become a top ten wettest month yet, but some more rain is expected this week that will bring it close to the May 1990 record of 12.86. That brings the 3-day total to 12.37 inches - quite the downpour - roughly a quarter of the average annual rainfall in Harrison.
And finally, last month was nearly in the record book for the driest month on record! However, on October 31, 2024, the first rain fell on Harrison for the month of October, saving it from tying the "Trace" of rain record set in January 1931 and August 2007. Instead of a dry record for the month, October 31, 2024 set a daily rainfall record of 2.56 inches.
I’m 31 M and my fiancée 28 F lived in Arkansas most of her childhood. I’m from Maine, but honestly the cost of living is vastly different. Even in the “outside” towns from my current living area Bangor have rentals at 1,000+ for a 2 bedroom apartment. Looking online I see the price difference is about +/- 500 dollars, pitiful I know.
How much trouble would I have finding work? I’m certified in a couple different technology courses, and I’m finishing my Network+, cloud computing, and object oriented programming. I don’t need a tech job right off the bat, but I would be building toward that. Honestly, the time I’ve spent in Arkansas I’ve met nothing but good, hardworking people and that’s my type of community.
I’ve been employed full time as a clerk, foreman of a commercial lobster fishing pier, a stern man on a lobster boat, and I’ve done direct support for adults with intellectual disabilities. 16+ years of work experience and I just want a fresh start in a place that feels more home to me. I’ve been in Dardanelle with my fiancée and her family for about two weeks now vacationing, sure the tornado warning scared my little Yankee soul, but there’s something to be said for taking the leap.
Any suggestions would be awesome, thank you in advance.
Needing the best probate attorney in Arkansas I can find. Someone who specifically does probate please. The other side is shady so looking for someone who is aggressive in court. Who do you recommend?
I’ve been notified that I am the chosen candidate for a GS06 position with the state of Arkansas. The pay grade ranges from 36,115- 57,668, and I am scheduled to meet with HR to discuss the offer and (presumably) discuss salary as an official offer has not been extended to me.
This is the first state job I have taken, and I am unfamiliar with how the Payscale operates. Am I likely to start at the beginning of the pay scale (36,115), or do I have room for negotiation? I meet the education and work experience necessary for the role, and surpass the educational requirements with a postgraduate degree.
If I do have to start on the low end of the pay scale, when could I anticipate a step up to level two?
Thank you in advance for your knowledge and guidance!
We’re dealing with a labor issue regarding a nurse for my elderly relative. The company that contracts with us is not paying the nurse fully on her designated payday. They pay half and they will cover the rest at some unknown future date within the next week.
Does Arkansas DOL have any laws that stipulate when you must be paid and if it must be in full?
