    In the hours since the devastating fire in which family and friends lost a distinguished member of the
    Clarksville community, a search for words or even a glimmer of understanding is constant with those
    who knew and loved her.  Mary Ann Allison made a profound impression on all with whom she
    associated.  She made a huge positive difference in this community.  She welcomed each individual
    person and each animal into her life with equal grace and an intense desire to care for them and to love
    them.  Mary Ann always had room for one more.

    Mary Ann and husband Butch, opened the doors of the Clarksville Antique Center and quickly provided a
    business with something of interest to most everyone, with one of the warmest welcomes to be found
    anywhere and one that generated large sales tax revenues for Clarksville.  This lady possessed amazing
    talents and abilities.  In the 40,000 square foot Antique Center she knew what was there, where it was,
    and more details about particular items than could be believed.  Working in Clarksville, managing and
    providing inventory in two other buildings in St. Louis, procuring and facilitating home demolition jobs,
    maintaining her home, her life with Butch and extended family members and the animals are but part of
    what could describe this loving woman.  Like her mother to whom she was devoted, she was a beautiful
    spirit with an enormous heart.  

    Mary Ann believed in Clarksville.  She was convinced that good and better times were on the horizon for
    the Community.  She supported activities, engaged in planning and contributed time, money and effort in
    sharing her optimism for the future of Clarksville.  The light and life that she gave to this community may
    be gone, but I can think of no better way to pay tribute to her than by maintaining and building upon her
    dedication to and optimism for this City.

            The Pike County Sheriff's Department held a ribbon cutting on Thursday,
    January 14th to celebrate the opening of a substation on Front Street in
    Clarksville.  Several county and city officials were on hand along with citizens
    and representatives of the Chamber of Commerce.  From left: Caron Quick,
    Ramsey Woodall, Eastern District Commissioner Curt Mitchell, Sheriff Stephen
    Korte, Sgt. Josh Baker, Clarksville Mayor Jo Anne Smiley, Treas Vaughn,
    Jennifer Dixon and Ralph Quick.  Sheriff Korte said the substation will allow
    deputies working in that area to work more efficiently.  They will be able to
    make calls, file paperwork, perform interviews and more from the office.

    The State Audit has begun in Clarksville.  As indicated in the announcement of the audit, an Open meeting was held on
    January 12, 2010.  Toni Crabtree, Audit Manager and Steven Re’ CPA from the Missouri’s Office of the State Auditor
    provided information as to the process. Questions by the public concerning the complaints, assertions, and accusations
    were answered with an assurance that these were confidential.  A private meeting was held with the petitioners later that
    day.  Since then, work of the audit has been on-going in City Hall.  It appears that work here will take several more weeks
    and then some months before another meeting will be held with the Board who will then be provided time to respond.  
    Those responses will be included in the final report.  The cost to the City is expected to be $15,000 - $30,000.

    Numerous customer water leaks have occurred during the extreme cold weather periods.  Each has been checked and
    water turned off as necessary.  It is important to be vigilant in observation during times of extreme low temperatures as
    water leaks can cause major damage and be expensive both for the customer and for the city.  At this time, the January
    water meter readings are complete.  

    City Clerk JoAnn Myers has presented her resignation effective January 29, 2010.  JoAnn leaves to accept a position
    which is close to her residence and one for which she had applied previous to employment in Clarksville.  JoAnn has
    proven herself to be of enormous value to the office of City Clerk.   She leaves a positive imprint that will serve well into
    the future.  The City is presently seeking applications for City Clerk.

    Although the fog has recently hindered clear observation of Eagles, Eagle Season has arrived, Eagles are here and
    Eagle Days week-end is January 30 and 31, 2010.  For more information: www.clarksvillemo.us
