Benton, Arkansas
What's your relationship with Saline County? Live here, work here, family, friends, something else? Please elaborate.
I am a "lifer" since 1964 - born at Saline Memorial Hospital (Dr. Hogue) graduated from Benton High School in 1982. I have deep roots in Saline County. My great-great grandfather, Charles Franklin Moore, was a Confederate hero who lost a portion of one arm while being held in a Yankee prison. In 1861, he served as Treasurer of Saline County and after returning from the war was the 2nd pastor of First Baptist Church of Benton. His son, Alfonso Moore, worked as the janitor/maintenance man of the Saline County Courthouse when it opened in 1902. Another responsibility for Alfonso was winding the clock at the courthouse. He died on a Sunday morning (after winding the clock) in front of Benton State Bank (currently Regions Bank). My grandfather, Lee Moore, worked at Alcoa and served as President of the local chapter of the "CIO" labor union before it merged with the "AFL".

From my mother's side, my Papaw Lefty worked at Reynolds for 30+ years. Funny thing, he would talk about working the "Graveyard Shift" and I took that quite literally (I pictured him in his hard hat and work boots performing some type of maintenance work at a graveyard). My Mamaw Ruby's family (The Fosters) originated in Montgomery County (Lake Ouachita) and worked in the timber industry. They lived in an elaborate "covered wagon" - similar to a mobile home. It was a huge flatbed trailer with heavy canvas walls that were "modularized". They migrated with the timber industry during its season. When I was a youngster, Mamaw Ruby opened "Ruby's Cafe" on Edison Avenue - around the corner from Garry's Drive In. That is where I spent the majority of my childhood. She was famous for fried chicken and "Tall Pies".

In 2002, I married the most beautiful girl in the world. She's a real looker!
City in Saline County of particular interest & why (ex: Benton, because I live there):
My family and I have lived in Benton our entire lives. With the exception of short stays in Denver, CO and Dayton, OH while my dad trained with NCR (National Cash Register).

Currently, I serve the citizens of Benton on the City Council as an alderman for Ward 4, Position 1. Also, I was elected by my fellow aldermen to serve on the Benton Advertising and Promotion Commission.
What would you like to share with other members of this site?
We are at a critical time in the history of Benton and Saline County. Critical decisions have been made and are being considered as we speak. I am proud to say that most folks that are involved are working very hard to get those decisions "right".

I encourage you to get more involved in your local government and make yourself available for service. Your local elected officials need to hear from you!

These are exciting times. The winds of change are blowing in a positive direction. God has placed us in this exact time in history to capture that wind in an effort to make a positive impact for our community(s) for generations to come. There are exciting opportunities bubbling beneath the surface for Benton, Bryant and Saline County.

I hope to use this venue as an outlet to share information that affects our daily lives and quality of life. Also, please feel free to contact me to share your excitement and concerns.

Climate Science/Fed Govt. @ 1975: "Prepare For The Coming Ice Age"...

Environment
The Fiction Of Climate Science
Gary Sutton, 12.04.09, 10:00 AM EST
Why the climatologists get it wrong.

Many of you are too young to remember, but in 1975 our government pushed "the coming ice age."

Random House dutifully printed "THE WEATHER CONSPIRACY … coming of the New Ice Age." This may be the only book ever written by 18 authors. All 18 lived just a short sled ride from Washington, D.C. Newsweek fell in line and did a cover issue warning us of global cooling on April 28, 1975… Continue

Let's not let UALR forget about the possibility of establishing a new nursing school in or near Benton. It only cost $1.5 million for the new nursing school at Henderson State University.

It's a nice looking building in a good location. I'm surprised it is still vacant for so long. Benton needs a seafood place. We need more than a Captain D's. And for all you country folk.. NO, a catfish joint isn't Seafood :-) :-)

By the way, nowhere in this sermon did he said "God damn America." I'm not sure which sermon that came from. Well, it didn't come from this one. If someone were to search Wright's idiotic ramblings and choose the most benign... this one might be it.
