It has been an exciting couple of months for all of us here at the Mountain Home News. With the process of outsourcing the printing of the Mountain Home News and the Patriot, we have had some big changes in a short amount of time. What I am most proud of is the fact that we did not have any external disruptions caused by this and it did not in any way affect our publication times.

Dear Editor, We want to wish Rick Vallard a hearty congratulations and a huge thank you from all the citizens on his upcoming retirement. After many years of observing Rick taking care of many properties in our park department, but especially the "pool park" we will truly miss seeing him every Monday and Thursday and in between on other park projects.
