‘To mask or not to mask?’ reminds columnist of questions some had about seat belts, DUI laws and smoking bans

To mask or not to mask? That is the question a lot of people are wrestling with as the coronavirus pandemic in Texas worsens. We as a culture have been here before. Americans have resisted seat belts, helmets, infant car seats, and other safety measures. They have also resented laws prohibiting driving while drunk, buzzed, or high. And for 60 years, Americans have been warned not to use tobacco. Laws now prohibit smoking in public places, but tobacco use persists in spite of overwhelming evidence that it is harmful. Most Americans go along with changes, but there is always a percentage of the population who are slow to comply. Now it’s wearing a protective face mask in a pandemic.

Move to extend filing deadline unlawful

Editor, the Tribune,I would like to address some items of interest to the community. On Monday, March 9, at 4:57 my Declaration to run for Prairie County Clerk of District Court & Clerk and Recorder was filed. I do wish to say that was a decision I made at that moment. There was no bad intentions involved in my decision, no deceit and certainly no planning ahead from 2018.
