On an extremely cold day, Mayor Elliott changed from his overhauls to go meet with the Marshall Rotary Club. He had been up since dawn looking for water leaks. He provided the Rotarians an overview of the administrative accompl i shment s made for the citizens of Marshall in the past year and the progress of current projects that are moving the city in the right direction. He also identified areas that need to be addressed in the coming year. That briefing was all before he rushed out to put his overhauls on again to help crews get ready for the impending weather. Thus, he is a really good juggler of his time schedule and work commitments and city responsibilities.

The Searcy County Humane Society is a local shelter for stray and dumped dogs. When dogs are brought to the shelter’s attention, whether that be someone calling it in; another shelter in need; or a dog being left at the shelter, it is Tina Oliver’s job to complete health checks. Tina Oliver is the current manager of the Searcy County Humane Society. Health checks consist of getting the dogs their required shots including rabies, heart worm tests, the medications that they need, as well getting spayed or neutered. The dogs are then able to be adopted or they are sent up north to Massachusetts.
