The Ozark Observer

Note from Jean Merritt:
Well, it’s really happening–we’re ba-a-ack! The former Patriots’ Herald is set to re-open under the name The Ozark Observer, with our first issue to be published June 26.
“Our plan is to be more of a regional paper than we were before, so there will be some changes.”

Planning Commission Meeting Implodes

The Planning Commission meeting on Thursday, June 13, was short-lived as matters broke down over whether or not the Basin Park parking lot should be added to the agenda. The meeting lasted little more than 6 minutes.

In Honor of Herroner

One of our favorite ballads is both funny and insightful, The Ballad of Orange and Grape, by Muriel Rukeyser.
The hot-dog-man in this ballad so closely resembles Herroner Mayor Joy and her confusions of governance on what is right/wrong, and legal/illegal, that we reprint and record it here for your enjoyment. Recording
