From the desk of Bates County Corner Greg Mullinax

I know I’m not the only one in Bates County with chores to do in this heat. Most of us don’t pay enough attention to our hydration or take it slow as often as we should. 

Deaths from hyperthermia can so often be avoided with basic precautions. 

Check on your elderly friends and those with underlying health conditions. We cannot say this enough. Be safe, everyone.
