Two large placards in support of a school bond issue are propped against the west wall of Shields’ Barber Shop, 19 N. Jefferson Ave. They’re good for starting a conversation about the April 2 vote, not that Greg Shields’ customers need the prompt.

The man in for a haircut Tuesday doesn’t support the bond issue.

“I think we’d spend way more money than what we need for a good facility,” the man, who didn’t want to be identified, told Shields.”Why can’t we build that for a lot less money?”

“But what you see here,” Shields said as he motioned to the placards, “it’s not real fancy. And our old schools cost us a lot in maintenance every year.”
