As a single parent of 5 (magnificent) homeschooled children ranging in age from 13 to 38, Christine oversees her media & marketing management business entirely from her home-based office in the Ozark Mountains.

Yes, that's me at right. Christine Louise Beems of Shirley, Arkansas, Editor Emeritus & Publisher of Gozarks: Everything Ozarks, graphic artist extraordinaire, master website/content developer, marketing genius, and according to my kids "Best Mom In The World."

Since the debut of Gozarks: Everything Ozarks in April of 2000, Gozarks' client list has grown to include the Conway Municipal Airport, the Booneville Municipal Airport, the City of Clinton, the Main Street Clinton program, and Holley Mountain Airpark.

As a long-time business owner, public relations specialist, non-partisan environmental activist and dedicated civic volunteer, the short list of Christine's accomplishments include co-foundering director of the Professional Speakers Association of Michigan (1976), board member and officer of the Arkansas-Oklahoma Sustainable Agriculture Network (1990-1993), recipient of an Uppity Woman Award presented by the Arkansas Public Policy Panel (1993), co-founding steering committee member of the of the Ozark Liberty Alliance (2002-2004), and co-founding member & secretary of the Holley Mountain Chapter of the United States Pilots Association (2002-2006), a track record which she believes speaks eloquently to the values she holds dear, the competency she brings to her work and the motivation which drives her professional wherewithal.

Personal Note: The close observer will be aware that for the longest time my last name was Weiss and now it is Beems. FYI: Beems is my maiden name and I have elected to reclaim my birth identity.

PS: Thank you for reading. Reading, like thinking, is good. If you'd like to know more about what I'm up to now that my darling daughter Shalom is heading-up Gozarks, come visit me at LocalEnergyMatters.INFO !!!

SPECIAL NOTE: I love this car, which I bought new for myself as a 55th b'day present back in March of 2004. My son, Josh, is now (June 2008) purchasing it from me because I got a 2008 Tiburon which is really a hoot and I shall do my best to post some pics of it soon...
