Local mayor calls for civility

Within your community.

After the events in the nation's capitol yesterday ?

"* one local mayor is calling for all of us to show a spirit of togetherness.

Kimt news 3's nick kruszalnicki joins us live with the message of a mayor.

Nick?

George and katie ?

"* the call for civility came from mason city mayor bill schickel.

He posted a video message on the city's facebook page.

In the video, mayor schickel shares the thoughts of mason city's human rights commissioner.

He says hold conversations with people who you don't agree with and find three things where you are on the same page.

Also, show respect and decency to people with a different point of view ?

"* and consider what might be best for the community as opposed to your personal needs.

The mayor says he's also myself, following these guidelines is a new year's resolution for me.

I think it would be a great resolution for our community.

Mayor schickel says he thinks mason city residents are doing a good job putting those points into practice.

Thank you nick.

Psychology today also has some good pointers for tough conversations.

Always keep a sense of humor
