Hello friends and readers of the Mountaineer Echo, I hope this week finds everyone in good health and happy spirits. Here on the home front things are going well.
My name is Mike Savu I am announcing my Candidacy for Mayor of Bull Shoals. I have lived here for more than 4 years, after retiring from a Thirty-year career building and operating a Tool and Manufacturing Company west of St. Louis, Missouri. I was fortunate to have worked with a great group of folks that enable me to grow my business to the point where I was able to sell it and retire early. This allowed me to move to the City of Bull Shoals and make this community my home.

As we continue to discuss conservation practices in our backyard that will add beauty and diversity, we continue from last week with more about wildlife habitat in our yards. We mentioned trees and shrubs that produce nuts and berries, which, we as humans might also get some benefit from, but how about the butterflies, hummingbirds and bees.
