Jabaries Johnson, Ivonzo Alexander, Michael Carter, Tracey Wardley, Isaiah Jones, and staff member Derrick Patton were eager to celebrate Day of Play at the Yazoo City chapter of the Boys and Girls Club. Special to The Herald
Youth members, staff, parents, and volunteers at Boys & Girls Clubs of the Mississippi Delta’s Yazoo City Unit turned off the TVs, Game Stations, and handheld electronics to celebrate Nickelodeon’s 2011 Worldwide Day of Play on Sept. 23.
Worldwide Day of Play is an annual event designed to encourage kids and parents to turn off the television and play, especially outdoors. The yearly event officially begins on all US Nickelodeon channels: Nickelodeon, Nick Jr., TeenNick, and NickToons. The event is designed as a finale for Nick's six-month long Let's Just Play campaign.

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.
