Well there you have it. Some good news and some bad news. Bad news first - I won't be adding anymore (beyond this entry) to BentOnBenton.com. Jim has kicked my butt a few times with the idea of expanding to Saline County. I always told him that I eventually would, but that I didn't have time for two websites. I actually have a few more than that if you count Shketches, I See Faces and Shelli's

I'm proud to announce some great news about SalineCounty.ning.com…Firstly, there is a new, easier way to get to the page...MySaline.com...is the new web address, effective as of much too late Wednesday night when I finally got it configured. If you don't want to change your bookmark, don't worry, you can still get there with the old web address too. Look for a new logo and a shop full of goodies

I just don't know where to start! Van Halen's "might as well jump," The Pointer Sisters with "jump for my love... jump in!!" and the ever-popular Criss-Cross assuring us that "Daddy Mac will make you JUMP JUMP."

Guys, I saw an article on the Today's THV website about a boy in Benton. Zachary Hester's story really impressed me. It was not only that he had been nominated for a program that chaperones kids to Europe, but it was also that Zachary has been raising the money himself to pay the $5,000 tab. I decided to call the Hester household and find out more about this boy. His mom agreed that she and

I called to tell the folks about the Farmer's Market being by the Saline County Courthouse Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday until around lunch. It was 30 minutes from "around lunch" so they drove on over there to have a look. My dad said they ended up with some sorghum (blech, I can't stand that stuff) and some "corn on the half shell." I heard what he meant: still in the shucks. The following

There is a "store" in Bryant on Highway 5 North that has a sign out front. The owner puts some seriously wacky messages on the sign. Note that the sign is directly across the street from a church and an elementary school.As opposed to poor syntax, I'm assuming thisfirst sign refers to some type of plant.I didn't know trees had armpits.Since the subject this time wasn't exactly located in

Refer to the previous article on Christopher Grady and Rebecca Burrier having eluded Arkansas State Police whilst shooting at them. That is, Grady and/or Burrier were shooting at the fuzz.
