City to fix problems at Glenwood Cemetery

There could be some changes at Glenwood Cemetery in the near future with the possibility of Stacey Trotter, cemetery sexton, being moved to another city department.
The local cemetery has been a hot topic around Yazoo with complaints of tall grass and unkempt gravesites. The main complaint was the fact that Trotter remained in his position, preventing state inmate labor to return.
Mayor McArthur Straughter and Ward 2 Alderman Dr. Jack Varner have pushed for Trotter to be transferred to another department, but they couldn’t get the majority support from the remainder of the board.-------for the rest of the story see The Yazoo Herald printed edition or subscribe to the Digital Edition.----------
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.
