Message from MC Sheriff

We have had another busy week at the Marion County Sheriff’s Department. We are working on developing systems and procedures for inmate medical care. As our current medical provider for the inmates has resigned, we are seeking to find a new medical provider. This is no small task and a very expensive endeavor.

HB’s Homestyle Cooking

Welcome back to my kitchen y’all. I sure hope everyone is having a great week! Since the weather has been so pretty and nice most of this last week, I figured we needed to have a potluck/grill season recipe. We’ve been spending more and more time outside and with the daylight lasting longer we have been grilling more throughout the week. So, this week’s recipe is Heather’s Smoked Cheesy Taters. This is a huge hit at any family get together or potluck we take it to and there is never enough. I usually triple this recipe for large get togethers and it never goes to waste.

The Lowe Down

In the coming weeks, high school seniors across the country will don caps and gowns and proudly walk across a stage to receive a diploma in the culmination of a 13-year goal that has taken the support of many people along the way in order to achieve it. Seniors, your family has been with you every step of the way and I hope you thank them.

Grabbing Buffaloes

I love the outdoor life I live because all day long when I am on the river or exploring the woods, I see spectacular things that remind me that God is still in charge somewhere, though those places grow fewer nowadays.

Crooked Creek

With the recent cold weather and freezing temperatures, and sure to follow in the coming months, have you thought about ways for your livestock to get water with limited work from you. If you are like a lot of farmers in the area, we have to have a second job to help make ends meet, we go out in the dark, put some hay out, do a quick count and off to work.
