Sitting with my daughter, my aunt and my mom last Saturday afternoon, trying to get a word in edgewise, I blurted out, “Who’s the greatest fictional character of all time?” Receiving looks and stares of bewilderment, my mom quickly shouted out, “Billy Graham!” Expecting such a response, I explained to her that the Reverend Graham could in no way be anyone’s favorite fictional character. Understanding my words, she then blurted out, “Michael Jordan!” She was so proud of herself, but again, what kind of son would I be if I allowed her to think she was correct? So, more explanations were given, and after my aunt suggested Mighty Mouse, mom finally had an answer. She smiled and said, “Wonder Girl.”
I walked onto the deck ahead of my client. She pointed out the landscaping in the back yard. I moved closer to get a good look and glanced down at the flower pot on the rail. Upon a second glance, I noticed a snake hanging out of it. As I tried to fly backwards to no avail, I took out the chair, the client and the dogs’ water bowl before being stopped by the back door. My client said “Oops!” and grabbed the rubber snake out of the pot. “I put that in there to scare off the birds. I guess it works on Real Estate Agents too.”

The service and sacrifice of Arkansans called to wear our nation’s uniform are woven into the fabric of our communities. Long after men and women leave active duty, their commitment to others continues. I’m proud to share the stories of these individuals and their desire to serve for the Library of Congress Veterans History Project (VHP).
The Arkansas Agriculture Department has completed a series of public hearings on updates to the statewide water plan, which hasn’t been modified in 10 years. For the first time, the water plan developed this year will include ways to prepare for floods and to mitigate as much damage as possible caused by flooding.
To be hopeful in the midst of corrupt times is to be brave. There are agendas being set in motion that threaten the American way of life. We know that throughout the history of the world, people can be mean, greedy, controlling and even vindictive, but we must never forget that there are people who can counterbalance and dare I say, defeat, the evil among us through great amounts of kindness, mettle, compassion and heroic efforts.
