Officers would like the public’s assistance again this year to keep an eye out in their neighborhoods this Christmas season.
Chief Eric Snow said the burglary rate was low last year in comparison to years before. He credits such a low rate to concerned citizens.
“I would like that rate even lower this year,” he said. “Last year, we had great public participation. Citizens were calling in and watching their neighbors’ houses. If we could get that participation again, it would be a big help.” -------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.
