Special to The Herald
The Yazoo Library Association will hold an open house on Jan. 24 at Ricks Memorial Library from 9:30 until 11 a.m.
The library will be featuring demonstrations conducted by John Ellzey on the new ST ViewScan. The ViewScan is an advanced digital film viewer and scanner donated to the library by the great grandchildren of Colonel Emile Schaefer and his wife Caroline Schaefer.
Goodwin Schaefer Deacon, Ginzy Schaefer, and Philip Cuthbert Schaefer established the Ricks Memorial Library Technology Improvement Endowment in 2009. This endowment not only allowed the library to purchase the ViewScanner but also eight computer carrels that provide privacy for our computer users.
Sherry Anderson, the new Interim Director of Ricks, will also be introduced to the community. Come join the Board of Directors and the library staff on Tuesday morning for a demonstration of our scanner and delicious refreshments.
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.
