Update from the MC Sheriff
It has been three months since we hit the ground running here at the Marion County Sheriff’s Office.

As I promised you transparency during my campaign, I wanted to take a moment to give you an update on what we have been up to in our first three months here: At the County level, there are some things not yet established for us. One being our 2023 budget.

I hunted wild gobblers for 50 years… but no more. The first hunt I went on was in the Ouachita Mountains in 1970 at a place called Muddy Creek WMA with an Arkansas Fish and Game biologist by the name of Gene Rush.

So, last week we talked about starting and up potting seeds. This week we will talk about getting those seedlings ready to go out in the garden. Once they start growing their true leaves and getting bigger you will want to have some air circulating and moving your starts like the wind moves plants outside.
