Special to The Herald
Mayor McArthur Straughter will read to students at Webster Elementary School students on March 2 to help celebrate Dr. Seuss’ birthday.
This is just one of the activities to motivate children to read during NEA’s Read Across America week. Other activities for the week are Green Eggs and Ham breakfast on March 3, a book give away, character parade and local celebrities will read to our pre-kindergarten, kindergarten and first grade classes on March 4.

Dear Editor:
In the 6 April 2013 edition of The Yazoo Herald you published a letter from Cynthia Fuller, "Thanks to (Van) Foster for helping get bridge replaced."
After reading this lettter, I had the impression that the bridge was completed and traffic was moving along normally.
Wrong! Last Sunday I was on my way to homecoming at Providence Baptist Church. I turned north onto old 49 and saw the signs that the bridge was out. I assumed that they hadn't gotten around to removing the signs. I expected to cross Thompson Creek on the new bridge. When I approached the creek the road was barricaded and construction equipment was down in the creek.
Perhaps The Herald can keep us updated as to the progress being made on the new bridge.
