BRIEF
Carry the Cross
event still slated
for Good Friday
During a time in which
the area is facing the ef-
fects of a pandemic, some
area residents are looking
to provide some hope on
Good Friday, which this
year is April 10. On that
day, area residents will
begin the annual “Carry
the Cross” at 8 a.m. at
the Casey’s, just north
of Cabool. The 40-pound
wooden cross will be
carried west on Highway
60 for 12 miles before
arriving at the square in
Mountain Grove around
noon. “We’re super excit-
ed about this year, right
in middle of the storm
and all the chaos around
us,” said Ken Polm, who
has been part of the event
for a few years and is
associated with Street
Church (A Church With-
out Walls). “I think it
will bring joy to all the
people who are out there
watching.”
The event will begin
with a prayer and there
will be around 15-20 peo-
ple who may take part
in carrying the cross.
Polm said the event will
be held, but the plan is
for participants to main-
tain a 6’ distance with a
couple of folks carrying
the cross. “We will keep
the distancing thing the
very best that we can,”
Polm noted. “We’re obvi-
ously going to keep the
numbers down and do
our very best to do what
officials asked us to do in
keeping people very safe.
We’re going to do our
mission and that is pick
up our cross and carry it.”
Polm went on to say that
there is a willingness to
still allow as many peo-
ple to participate who
want to be a part of this,
but there will be a need
to meet along the path
for swapping out so new
people can participate.
Some of t he g roups
working with the event
are folks involved with
the Street Church Minis-
try, The Mountain Mov-
ing Ministry and Promise
Road (a sober living facil-
ity for women in Texas
County.)

Gov. Parson issues
stay-at-home order
Runs from Monday, April 6-Friday, April 24
BY RON SCHOTT
EDITOR@OZARKMEDIA.COM
With a growing number of
positive tests for coronavirus
(COVID-19) daily in Missouri,
Gov. Mike Parson officially
issued a statewide “Stay Home
Missouri”(stay-at-home) order
that went into effect at 12:01
a.m. Monday, April 6. This or-
der will extend through 11:59
p.m. on Friday, April 24.
As the order went into ef-
fect, the Missouri Depart-
ment of Health & Senior Ser-
vices reported 2,113 positive
COVID-19 cases out of 24,727
tested in a total population of 6
million Missourians. This data
shows that 8.5 percent of those
tested have been positive. Data
also shows that 22 percent of
those tested have required
hospitalization. This means
the remaining 78 percent are
recovering at home or have
already recovered. Missouri
has at least one positive case in
76 of Missouri’s 114 counties.
Missouri also has 19 COVID-19
related deaths.

everyone to know that I love
Wright County at seven confirmed cases
BY RON SCHOTT
EDITOR@OZARKMEDIA.COM
Another week has gone
by during the coronavirus
(COVID-19) pandemic and
another three cases have been
confirmed in Wright County.
The breakdown now includes
three confirmed COVID-19
cases in the Mansfield area, two
in the Hartville area and two in
the Mountain Grove area.
The WCHD also said there
was a minimal risk to contact
with a positive case at Walmart
in Mountain Grove from 11-
11:40 a.m. on Friday, April 3.
In an update first received
on Wednesday, April 1 from
Wright County Health De-
partment Administrator Tracy
Hardcastle, she noted the in-
crease in two cases at that time.
“The disease investigations
are still ongoing at this time,”

TEXAS COUNTY MEMORIAL HOSPITAL
Texas County Memorial Hos-
pital is proud to announce that
Jessica (VanBibber) King, MD,
a board-certified family medi-
cine physician is returning to
the community that helped
raise her to practice medicine.
King, a graduate of Moun-
tain Grove High School and
oldest daughter of Fred Van-
Bibber, Mayor for the City of
Mountain Grove, and Kathy,
a much-loved, retired school
teacher for the community,
has inked a four-year contract
with Texas County Memorial
Hospital that will officially
begin on April 23. King will

this state and the people of this
state,” Gov. Parson said. “The
people of this great state clearly
define who we are in Missou-
ri, and as governor, I have no
greater responsibility than to
protect the health, well-being,
and safety of all Missourians.”
The stay-at-home order indi-
cates Missouri residents shall
avoid leaving their homes
unless they are going to work
or getting food, prescriptions,
health care and other necessi-
ties. Folks can enjoy the out-
doors as long as there is six feet
between them and others.
Hardcastle said. “If/when
contacts to the two new cases
are identified, those contacts
will be notified. Treat every
place you must visit in public
with caution and maintain
social distancing, good hand
hygiene, stay home as much as
possible.” The American Red
Cross issued some steps recent-
ly on how to help in slowing
the spread of COVID-19.
• Stay home: If you can and
avoid any non-essential trav-
el. Avoid social gatherings of
more than 10 people.
• Practice social distancing by
keeping at least 6 feet, about

During this time, schools will
remain closed, but child cares
can remain open. All residents
are also to avoid eating or
drinking at restaurants, bars
or food courts; however, they
can use drive thru, pick-up and
delivery options.
A big change will be seen at
retail outlets as places must
limit the number of customers
their location to 25-percent or
less of their authorized fire or
building code occupancy for a
retail location less than 10,000
square feet. That number goes
down to 10-percent for loca-
two arm lengths, away from
others if you must go out in
public. Stay connected with
loved ones through video and
phone calls, texts and social
media. Avoid close contact
with people who are sick.
• Wash your hands often with
soap and water for at least 20
seconds, especially after be-
ing in a public place, or after
blowing your nose, coughing
or sneezing. If soap and water
are not readily available, use
a hand sanitizer with at least
60% alcohol.
• Avoid touching your eyes,
nose and mouth with un-

events are to not be planned

people and residents would
maintain a distance of at least
six feet apart in public.

• Clean and disinfect house-

touch surfaces frequently
throughout the day. High-
touch surfaces include phones,
remote controls, counters, ta-

fixtures, toilets, keyboards,
tablets and bedside tables.
• Cover your coughs and
sneezes. Use a tissue to cover
your nose and mouth, and
throw used tissues in a lined
trash can. If a tissue isn’t avail-
able, cough or sneeze into your
elbow — not your hands. Wash

we’re finally going to be the
people we’ve always been,”
King said, when she explained
what moving back to Mountain
Grove meant to her. “We are
looking forward to slowing
down a bit and getting to enjoy
a different pace of life than we
have been used to,” King said.
“It means a lot to be welcomed
back to this community, but in
a different role.”
King explained that “good

employment offices are
swamped right now, so
folks may need to be pa-

do so online.
Slash Your Expenses
This seems obvious, but

Surfeiting is hung over or

cannot keep his mind
on Christ and His ways
if we are in a fog. Verse

pray always that we may
be accounted worthy to
escape the things to come.
