September 2021

The Covid pandemic has brought about new challenges to the medical community and society as a whole. There have been times where we were forced to give up rights and do things we are not comfortable doing. We as Americans do not give up our rights freely and will definitely put up a fight whenever we feel our rights are being infringed. We have fights over why we would or should wear a mask. Fights over vaccines and if they should be mandated. Fights over schools and how the school year should be laid out, if the kids should wear masks, should we have full sessions, etc.

From the Village of Ada:

The Boil Advisory HAS BEEN LIFTED as of 12:00 p.m. Friday, September 17, 2021 that was issued for Liberty Street on Wednesday, September 15, 2021.
