Thanks, Sam, for the reminder. The "Main Street" project is really an upper. Becky Hale is the Honcho, and doing a super job. Any alums visiting Clarksville will be glad they stopped by her "shop" on the north side of the square. Unfortunately, Clarksville's economy won't turn around until they build Marvin Nichols lake, but that is some years in the future -- some folks oppose the lake anyway. But we can hope that the county's economy has already "bottomed out." ----- Original Message ----- From: "sam embrey" <sembrey@cox-internet.com> To: <TXREDRIV-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, March 26, 2003 3:03 AM Subject: [TXREDRIV] just talk > I feel sure that many of you know already, but in case you don't, pull up the Paris News on your computer, and you will find it full of Clarksville happenings.

Is this new lake the one that will be over on the Bowie/Red River county line? I have spoken with Lawrence about a new lake that is going to cause some serious cemetery problems. It appears in present plans that there will be a few cememteries that will be UNDER water. Anyone have any information on this? I will dig up the last email I got my Lawrence on it and maybe that will help. If I remember correctly it will in the SE area of the county.

I don't have time now, but this will get into politics which may should be discussed privately. I know we have different views on this board and both need to be respected. But yes, that is the lake. It has been put on hold. I do not know what the future holds for it. I still wish they would go back to the drawing board for the lake on the north Red River Co north of the Dimple area. But these are two separate issues (lakes).
