Local News: NAEC Community Connections: Castleberry Building receives historic designation (2/24/21)

Wednesday, February 24, 2021 Kim Break, Editor As stated last month, the historic Castleberry building, located at 102 S. Main Street in Salem, on the square, is now officially listed on the Arkansas Register of Historic Places. Dr. John and Leslie Scribner purchased the property in January 2020 with the purpose of restoring as much history to the building as possible. They are sharing the journey with their four children: Glendon (12), Phoebe (10), Marshall (9) and Jewell (5). The family knew they wanted the official historic designation for the Castleberry, so research began as to what needed to take place. Leslie was very appreciative of the knowledge and helpful hands of the Arkansas Department of Parks, Heritage & Tourism’s Arkansas Historic Preservation Program (AHHP). The team helped her prepare the proper documentation which captures nearly every detail of the unique historical property.

(2010) Sixteen players from Faulkner County teams, the most in recent history, have earned all-state recognition in football by the Arkansas Activities Association. The honors were voted upon by the coaches in each conference. Conway High had five players named all-state, while Greenbrier had four, Vilonia had three, and Mayflower and Conway Christian had two each. Almost 750 children will have a better Christmas because of the efforts of the Conway Optimist Club’s Angel Tree project. Bicycles, skateboards and clothing were among the items given to the families of “angels” during a distribution at Hendrix College. The Optimists have been sponsoring the Angel Tree effort for 25 years, making sure that every child on the list provided by the Community Action Program for Central Arkansas (CAPCA) will get a present. Giving exceeded last year’s effort by 100 more families and 150 more children.
