Local leaders exhibiting covid stupidity
To the Editor: And here, all along, we thought covid stupidity was restricted to state and national Republican leaders like Madison Cawthorn.
We see now it extends to local leaders like the Henderson County Board who are sending a letter to the Governor asking that the indoor mask requirements be dropped, because our individual liberties are being violated by having to wear masks inside public buildings.
May we assume they also will request that wearing pants will no longer be required and that smoking will be allowed everywhere? Are these also not matters of individual rights as well?
The Pope Family Farm, a six-generation operation in Horse Shoe, is going retail. Steelie Runion and her husband, Sam, are now expanding the beefalo business. “We both lost our jobs to Covid and had to figure out something else to do,” Steelie said. “Expanding the beefalo market looked promising.” Sam Runion said the refitted metal cargo containers will be for retail sales, one for beefalo meat and the other for fresh produce and cut flowers. Pumpkins and Frasier firs will follow. The Pope farm has raised beefalo for years on its 32-acre farm on US 64 West. “Barley’s Tap Room in Asheville has been one of our biggest beefalo customers,” said Steve Pope, a retired professional baseball scout but now involved with the family business.
