Clark to run for JP

Stanley Clark has announced his candidacy as a Democrat for Justice of the Peace District Nine, the seat currently held by Democrat Doyle Johns, who is retiring.

Clark, 42, a lifelong resident of Crawford County, is employed as a captain with the Van Buren Fire Department.

"I have been with the Van Buren Fire Department for 12 years where I have had the privilege of serving the citizens of Van Buren," he said.

Clark is currently in charge of budget management, fire prevention and public relations and is learning to apply for grants.He is a charter member of Local 4078 International Association of Fire Fighters and has served on numerous boards over the years.

"It is my goal to expand my service to represent the citizens of District Nine and to be a voice for them on the issues facing one of the fastest growing counties in Arkansas," he said.

A 1979 Van Buren High School graduate, he is pursuing an associate's degree at Garland County Community College.He is a member of Zion Missionary Baptist Church in the Bond Special Community.

Clark requested a recount of the recent election after figures he tallied differed from those counted by election officials.

Preliminary results said Blount won by three votes, but the actual total was Blount, 216, and Clark, 214.

"I intend to run for the position again," said Clark, who is employed by the Van Buren Fire Department."This position is one that would provide me a great way to get back to the community where I live.I made a lot of friends and met a lot of great people along the way."

Though the election was so close, Clark said he bore no ill will toward Blount.

"I wish her well," he said.

District 9 candidates, both Democrats, seeking the position vacated by retiring JP Doyle Johns, are Sharon L. Blount and Stanley Clark.

Coleman fuel is another unacceptable home-heating fuel," said Capt. Stanley Clark of the Van Buren Fire Department.

Van Buren firefighters have been called to two residential fires this winter, Clark said.However, chimney fires are commonplace when temperatures fall below freezing.

"The best thing to do when you have a chimney fire is first call 911, then throw a small cup of water into the fireplace which creates steam which will rise into the pipe and hopefully snuff the blaze until the fire department gets there," Clark said.

Other safety measures include cleaning out the fireplace and wood stoves to avoid build-up of creosote.Opening cabinet doors under sinks and leaving water dripping should alleviate frozen pipes.

"Have a lot of batteries on hand for lighting rather than using candles for light sources which is dangerous," Clark said.
