— Thanks for clean up help

A special thank you to Benton County Road Department for the ditch clean out on East Harris Street. I now can have water in our pond.

Also, a special thanks to Jeremy and Tyler Anderson for the cleaning out ditch west of house.

The city’s Street Department has too much to do and not enough time for us.

I’d like to clean up our entire city if I was able. It needs it so bad.

CHARLES AND HELEN ROBBINS Pea Ridge, Ark.

Thanks to police

I just want to say “thank you” to the Pea Ridge Police Department for their quick response on Sunday afternoon, May 23. We hadsomeone come into our garage and steal my son’s two bikes. The police were at our house within minutes of my call.

They immediately set out searching following a lead they had. They brought in two additional officers to assist. They searched continuously until they found the bikes and the two boys who stole them.

Not only did they recover our bikes, but found two other bikes that had been stolen as well.

From the time I reported it to the time they delivered us the bikes, it had only been about two and a half hours. I was very pleased with their persistence.

Once again, thank you and great job!

JANI SMITH Pea Ridge, Ark.
