Down with the Good Ol’ Boys Liquor Store Law
It’s Time to Repeal Clarksville’s Good Ol’ Boys’ Liquor Store Permit Law
Clarksville, TN – The Tennessean recently reported that certain folks in Clarksville are questioning the merit of having a limit of only a dozen liquor stores that can be allowed to legally operate in Clarksville at any one time.
The out-dated fifty-year-old city ordinance has created an artificial market for “certificates of compliance,” not to mention creating in the local liquor market an oligopoly (the market condition that exists when there are few sellers, as a result of which they can greatly influence price and other market factors).
Both the local liquor oligopoly and the market for “certificates of compliance” hurt Clarksville’s local economy. «Read the rest of this article»
Book Review: “Grace Among the Leavings” by Beverly Fisher
Clarksville, TN – “Ms. Grace, you ask hard questions.”
The little girl living on a farm in rural Sumner County, Tennessee does ask hard questions. Innocent and inquisitive, Grace lives in a world where the Civil War has just ended and the devastated South is entering Reconstruction. Grace directly questions why she is surrounded by death and suffering.
Her grandmother tells Grace, “I want you to not think of the evil in this world, honey, because there is plenty of that. You don’t have to look too hard or far for that. Look for the good. Be the good.”

Kris Wolfe: A Tough Love Letter from a Friend
Here is a letter I got from a friend this week. I thought I would share it in hopes it might help others.
Dear Kris,
Since we go way back, I feel I have earned the right to say this. You probably won’t like everything I write, but I feel you need to hear it, and since no one else will give it to you straight, I will.
Today is a great day. Today you can trust God to do His job. Of course you can trust Him everyday but some reason, you lay down your concerns and pick them back up before giving God a chance to reveal His plan. You can’t solve everything; you can’t fix everything. You are not a miracle worker. You are not a super hero. You are a person, with human expectations, human impatience and an inherent lack of the ability to see the big picture (even though you pride yourself on just that.) «Read the rest of this article»
My Two Cents: Animal Control still overwhelmed
Clarksville, TN – The most recent news concerning the Montgomery County Animal Control Department is still sad. Nothing seems to have changed since the termination of previous director, Karen Josephson. This department continues to be a “no-win” situation for everybody, and animals die everyday because of it.
Montgomery County Animal Shelter is still overrun with unwanted animals.

Don’t sacrifice your Liver and Kidneys with weight loss drugs
Written by Dr. Dale Brown
Clarksville TN – A University of Rhode Island study funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), found the weight loss drug Orlistat, which goes by the prescription brand name Xenical and the over-the-counter name Alli, can cause “severe toxicity” to major internal organs.
Because the drug has been approved since 1999, we have to wonder how many people lost their lives during that time and were treated for liver and kidney disease because of this medication? «Read the rest of this article»

This should be fun. «Read the rest of this article»
Political attack unfortunate for Clarksville
This week, the campaign for the Tennessee State Senate turned ugly when the Tennessee Democratic Party and Senator Tim Barnes used Clarksville’s Gateway Medical Center to attack Republican Dr. Mark Green.
It made our entire community look ugly.
In a direct mail advertisement sent to voters in the 22nd district, the mailer “implies” that Dr. Green, during his tenure there, was contributing to Gateway’s performance, as reported in a Consumer Reports article listing the Clarksville hospital as “ranked 37th, lowest in the state.” «Read the rest of this article»
