Another love lost

Tracy files for divorce tomorrow. For three years i tried. She quit trying after her mother passed away. The first year she spent on the couch talking on the phone to her kids. She got her hair back, her teeth fixed, and her surgery past. She lost weight and now is really pretty. I guess it's time to move on. I wish her the best. I still want to meet this man that she is looking for that is better than me. six months from now she better be happy.

Clarksville-Johnson County Chamber of Commerce


I have been accused by some of being overly harsh on the C-JCCC. They deserve most of my words but today they did a good thing. The Spring Master Gardener sale was held on the train depot patio. Daylilies and annuals, roses and ferns, and indoor houseplants were on sale. These volunteers support their hobby with this sale. The Chamber allows them to use the train depot. I wonder did the Chamber charge this group 25$ membership fee and 5$ a day each to sell their plants like they want the farmers to at the Farmer's market? The City needs to provide local farmers a seperate place to market our produce away from the Chamber. preferably away from downtown Clarksville as the Chamber seems to want to kill downtown Calrksville. I tried

21 country Market, Clarksville,Ar. local shopping



21 country Market is my most recent find in my search for local shopping experiences. Locally owned and operated, front door parking, and competitive prices. The Wal-mart butcher buys his family's meat here. Dozens of flavors of ice cream and 80 photos of historical Johnson county on the walls. pictures of how life was before Wal-mart and the interstate ruined downtowns and small businesses. The food is fresh and folks are friendly, the prices are low. Shop local, support local folks trying to make a living.

Arkansas Gov. Mike Beebe, Congressman Mike Bozeman

You are looking at a picture of Gov. Mike Beebe speaking at the University of the Ozarks. I wasn't there that afternoon but if I were I would have taken the opportunity to ask a question. I want to know when or if he has any plans or desire to re-open the rest stops on I-40. I want to know why we can't re-open the many small local parks closed in Arkansas. The rest stops were closed due to queers and drug addicts gathering there were a "public safety hazard". The small parks were closed due to lack of funding. Our state budget has had a surplus for several years now. Did we also run out of many to fund state troopers? Couldn't we re-open the rest stops and put a state trooper there, parked in a car? If he needs to leave for a wreck, he would be closer than he would be at HG. The public image of Arkansas took a hit when we closed our parks and rest stops. Do the gays and druggies run this state or do the law-abiding citizens? Can we not manage our money? My proposal is this: All government agencies will produce a budget showing how we cut costs by 10% or increased public service by 10%. Then we can re-open the parks and rest stops. If you know either of these men or their staffs, e-mail them and ask , Why?

Clarksville,Arkansas El Palenque Restaurant


This is best place to eat in Jonhson County. Just off Cherry Street in Clarksville, this small place combines a restaurant and market. Taco Bell is a cheap imitation of this place. 10 tables, kitchen in view of customers, cheap food quick. Maybe there's a better place to eat in Arkansas but I doubt it.

Clarksville Arkansas Downtown


In the wasteland known as downtown Clarksville, the new Joco Java is a breathtaking beautiful place to relax. Inside is an eclectic decor with books to read and chairs to listen to music in. You can order coffee and tea and sandwiches. The outside patio continues to enhance the dining experience. There are three places to go downtown Clarksville: the Joco Java, the El Palnque mexican restaurant and CJ's Garden. There are over two dozen empty storefronts downtown but these three are ample reason to go downtown. Forget eating at the corporate and plastic places to eat. These three are real and personal. Soon there will be other people realize the opportunities downtown Clarksville offers.

Jimmy Stephens for Sheriff Johnson County,Arkansas


I am going to vote for Jimmy Stephens for Sheriff of Johnson County,Arkansas. Never voted for a Democrat but if he can start to go after the drugs here I will give him a chance. We need to be aggressive in fighting drugs, not passive. Let's humiliate their families by publishing their pictures in the Graphic. Make them wear pink uniforms at the jail. Make them work for the Road Dept picking up trash off the roads. Start a Snitches Fund by selling off their homes and cars. Charge criminals in the jail a daily fee and put that money in the Fund. Get criminals to rat out each other for money. Do Something! Vote for Jimmy Stephens.

Clarksville,arkansas Farmer's Market


This is opening day of most farmer's markets in America. Not In Clarksville,Arkansas. Despite running as devout Democrats, these phony liberals oppose any effort to develop and grow a quality farmer's market in Johnson County. They charge annual membership and daily fees but give little in return. Instead of Buy Local their motto is Buy at Wal-mart. Most food is trucked in for over 150 miles. We have local farmers able to provide fresh fruit and vegetables, fish and flowers etc. but instead we are harassed by the local Chamber of Commerce. We have people that want to have a poultry sell and swap . Eight weeks to planting starts here in the River Valley.
