Fond Farewells

Those of us at Marshall Mountain Wave want to wish Charity Rolen, the former editor of the paper, a fond farewell and good luck in her future endeavors. She will be truly missed. Along with personnel changes, Marshall Mountain Wave will be enduring some hourly and conduct changes. The Marshall Mountain Wave office will be closed Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and open 12:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays. The new hours will allow new reporter Victoria Kroeker to engage with the county and its citizens more often. We at the Marshall Mountain Wave newspaper hope to welcome these changes in the new year. Happy New Year!

Turn Christmas leftovers into ‘Habitat for the Holidays’

Little Rock — When the eggnog is finished and the last of the holiday feasts are over, many live Christmas trees are destined to sit next to the road until the sanitation department picks them up. Instead of tossing your festive fir to the curb, donate it to the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission’s Habitat for the Holidays program.
