Hi everyone. Im sure you have heard about our “water problem”.

At 10:15, Saturday morning, MLive received a phone call from a non-city source, very familiar with local water resources, reporting that the City of Monticello is currently searching for a major water leak, that is causing water resources to be seriously depleted. (more…)

Around 4 PM, Friday the driver of this big-rig flatbed was attempting a turn on Cherry Street, in Monticello, and partially due to the slick roads, had traffic blocked for around an hour.

Many sidestreets in Monticello/Drew County are extremely slick. Please use extreme caution.

Sydney is missing from Cherry Street in Hamburg AR. She went out Monday, and we haven’t seen her since. She’s traveling with one of her pups named Sid.

Call 224-1331.

Minutes after 7 AM, Thursday, the driver of this 18-wheeler was traveling north in Drew County on Highway 65, north of Tillar.

He lost control of his tractor – trailer in the ice and snow, causing it to roll over.

DCSO and AHP responded. The driver was reportedly uninjured.

Driving conditions are basically the same today as they were yesterday, please use caution or stay home.

I want to be very careful how I word this, because there are many people and organizations who are doing a wonderful job of helping with lost and abandoned pets.

With that being said, MLive will gladly list, at no charge, lost and found pets on our website, which averages between 10 and 15,000 page views, daily.

Not saying don’t use the other organizations, but why not use both?

Simply send a photo, a contact number, and the area where your pet was last seen, to joe@MonticelloLive.com or text 870-367-0000.
