Mounts told city aldermen he had received an anonymous letter of complaint from a 32-year resident of the city who worried that properties in town had begun to look “trashie” (sic). “I’m embarrassed when people that come to Dierks say how bad it looks,” the citizen wrote. “You’d think a lot of the people here think their yards are the City Dump.” Mounts said he agreed with the letter, but cau- tioned that condemning properties is an expensive business. “If we start condemning properties, it’s gonna See CITY on Page 6 Concession woes dominate discussion among park commissioners Charles Goodin | Managing Editor NASHVILLE - For the second time since the Miss Arkansas Alyse Eady addressed Nashville Rotarians Wednesday with her friends Molly and Rocky. project began, the contracting company working Photo by Dewayne Holloway on the city park’s new concession stand has failed to pay a subcontractor, Park Director Nikki Cherry SHOWSTOPPER told park commissioners Tuesday.

  • Counting Cars
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE HISTORY® Revs Up for More Wheeling and Dealing When Danny ‘The Count’ Koker Returns to the Driver’s Seat for an All-New Season of… COUNTING CARS New York, NY – His name is The Count, and his game is one-of-a-kind, customized classic cars and motorcycles. Danny “The Count” Koker doesn’t just love hot rods and choppers. He lives for them. Whether it’s a ’63 Corvette, a classic Thunderbird, a muscle-bound Trans Am, or a yacht-sized Caddy, he knows these high-performance beauties inside and out. What’s more, he’ll do anything it takes to get his hands on those he likes – he’s known for pulling over cars he passes on the road and offering cash for them on the spot, or for using a retailer’s PA system to lure a car owner back to the parking lot to make a deal – and then “flip” them for a profit. Danny and the crew from Count’s Kustoms, his Vegas-based auto repair business, are behind the wheel again for a new season of COUNTING CARS, premiering Tuesday, April 9 at 9pm ET on HISTORY. The heat is on as the boys buy, trick out and re-sell classic cars, bikes and more. Danny is obsessed, so the more rides he buys, the faster they have to move to keep Count’s Kustoms in business. This season’s projects span all eras of cars, trucks, bikes and trikes. They’ll be working with Ziggy Marley to restore and customize Bob Marley’s last car, a 1980 Mercedes 500SL Euro; and customizing a soap box derby car for a youngster.

  • Genre Bending Narrative, VALHALLA Tells the Tale of One Man’S Search for Satisfaction, Understanding, and Love in Some of the Deepest Snows on Earth
    62 Years The last time Ken Brower traveled down the Yampa River in Northwest Colorado was with his father, David Brower, in 1952. This was the year his father became the first executive director of the Sierra Club and joined the fight against a pair of proposed dams on the Green River in Northwest Colorado. The dams would have flooded the canyons of the Green and its tributary, Yampa, inundating the heart of Dinosaur National Monument. With a conservation campaign that included a book, magazine articles, a film, a traveling slideshow, grassroots organizing, river trips and lobbying, David Brower and the Sierra Club ultimately won the fight ushering in a period many consider the dawn of modern environmentalism. 62 years later, Ken revisited the Yampa & Green Rivers to reflect on his father's work, their 1952 river trip, and how we will confront the looming water crisis in the American West. 9 Minutes.
