FROM THE MAYOR'S CORNER WITH OZARK MAYOR RICK GARDNER
From The Mayor's Corner:
I'll bet you've heard all you want about the virus and wearing masks, and probably more. Yeah, me too. However, it's like the national debt and not going away soon. So, what do we do? Here's some light hearted advice from Springfield's masking video contest winner, linked at the bottom of this note.
Springfield's contest winner says, "It's your duty to cover your snooty." It's time for more rhyme. You're just doing what's right in the fight. Just a hand to lend to protect a friend. Think of others and your sisters and brothers. It's not just about you but others, too. Slow the spread and put this virus to bed.
Okay, some of you agree and some don't. I get it. There are many opinions about this and I respect them all. Although not a cure to the COVID-19 virus epidemic, masking has been proven to be an effective deterrent to slow the spread. So, if we can't stop it, why not try to slow it?
Please think about the entire community, your family and friends, our businesses and churches and wear a mask. It's just the right thing to do. Thank you.
A message to Nick Sibley - The Ozark Mountain Daredevils original band member.
I love your Love of Truth. Yes you're right mask-wearing is all about obedience and and teaching people to comply like sheep. Thank you for speaking up. ~ BH

JEFF HARRIS Conservation Agent, Thanks for the quick response time. I was giving his phone number and I personally had to call him to get this setup. Yes you heard me correctly, none of the agencies that I talked to we're going to make the phone call to get it done.
