I ended up staying with relatives while I dealt with my kidney issues. After a couple of months I was able to get a job and keep my payments on my home. My health has stabalized and I made plans to move to Yellville. I contacted a local man that does the yard work for me and asked him to straighten up the yard. He did and emailed me and stated my cabin no longer had my many boxes in it, nor my water tank in the back yard , nor my mail box. I was robbed. Most of my worldly possession were contained in boxes in my cabin. The cabin is located on the outskirts of town, next to a church/graveyard. I called the local sherriff and spoke with th lady dispatcher. She was insensitive and stated I should have expected to be robbed since the cabin was unoccupied. That was expected in that area. I then tried to phone th mayor to speak to him about my troubles and the lady that answered the phone would not take my name or number and said I would just have to drop in and try to catch him to speak to him. He doesnt keep regular hours. I felt victimized by the criminals and further victimized by the insensitive police and local government. I also emailed the local chamber of commerence and still havent gotten a reply. The problem is that I cant sell the property because it being land contract. If I backed out of the deal I would loose thousands of dollars. I dont think Yellville deserves a nurse with over 15 years experience. All of what I have researched online about Yellville is an ongoing horror story. In the next few days I will be driving to Yellville to see about a nursing position and to inspect my empty cabin. I do not have the money to replace the items stolen. Most of which I need to survive the winter. I am between a rock and a hard spot. I need to move and yet I feel as though I dont have anywhere to go.
I am very sorry to hear of your unfortunate troubles, yes you deserve better . 1. Go on yahoo free cycle groups type in Marion county, Baxter, Boone also, ask for what you need and why, keep it short and sweet not bitter, and end with G-d Bless you, hoping this will loosen up some help.
2.Get to know any neighbors to watch out for you, there are many nice folks up here, we found out 4yrs ago when we moved here from a Big City.
3. If you have a Church Faith you find one here to match up and ask for help.
4.there is a Food Bank in Flippin ,(i believe thats correct,or its Yellville,both towns next to each other,you probably know that already.
5. We will meet with you for a coffee and bring you eggs when we come to town for free-the best part is we raise them well and range fed-our neighbors fight over them they are so good.
Ok, so where are you getting your Nursing Job at ?We wish you well. Thiefs are the same all over the world ,the crime here is very low, and people stop to help you when your car breaks down, in Snow or summer.I am not the welcoming comitee for yellville or in Politics- We are on a limited income but help in any way we can. direct message us here with your email address or phone, Oh dont buy ALLtel its service is not the best up here-actually track phones work fine and ATT on Cell. Best Wishes.

Glenwood is wonderful! It's small and could use a movie theater but other than that, it has all the amenities you need. There's a grocery store, gas stations, dollar stores, restaurants, video rental places, barbers, everything. The people are friendly and the scenery is outstanding. If you want good Chinese food though, you have to drive to Hot Springs so make sure that you do any other shopping you need to do if you go so that you get it all done at once. The wife and I have a chance to get an acre from the in laws and we are considering moving the family there in a year or two. The drive to Hot Springs is no more than we currently drive between La Crosse, Wisconsin and Winona, Minnesota. Can't beat that!
