One Yazoo City resident agrees with Alderman Aubry Brent Jr. that pit bulls within the city need to be controlled.
Brent has been very vocal about stricter ordinances on the breed since taking office. He recently revisited his cause, urging fellow city leaders to take a proactive approach before a tragedy occurs.
Cynthia Walker, a resident of Prentiss Avenue, recently begged the Board of Mayor and Aldermen to address the growing concern of pit bulls particularly in her neighborhood.
“Some measure needs to be set as a priority related to the pit bulls running on Prentiss Avenue,” she said. -------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.
