Schickel: Mason City poised for its post-Covid comeback

No doubt about it, 2020 was difficult. Many small businesses and families are taking terrible financial and emotional blows. It breaks my heart to see it.

Covid has affected all of us in a very deep and more personal way than we’ve seen in a long time. Sixty families in Cerro Gordo County have lost loved ones to whom they could not give their final goodbye. People are out of work. And some businesses have been devastated. But hang in there. Thank you for adjusting your sails. And rest assured, the community is here with you, standing with you. And Mason City is poised to come back stronger and better than ever.

MIKE McKELVEY: We ll continue to help the voiceless, the victims

Community policing is important to Mike McKelvey. A captain with the Mason City Police Department, McKelvey has been working with other members of law enforcement, as well as area health and mental health providers, to help high risk people in the community. According to McKelvey, the department received a Justice and Mental Health Collaboration Program grant in 2018 for $75,000 for development of a local plan to address and promote police and mental health collaboration. McKelvey and Mason City Police Chief Jeff Brinkley were instrumental in the decision to apply for the grant, which built on the work already done to identify mental health consumers who were high-utilizers of police services. These consumers would then be supported by the community in terms of referral, medication, treatment, or family support to avoid crisis.
