District 3 Supervisor Willie “Deuce” Wright said he supports the efforts to upgrade homes for residents at Fouche Apartments, but only if the project doesn’t interfere with the baseball fields at Campanella Park.
Wright, who has volunteered as a coach and worked as an official at the park for years, said he will do everything in his power to prevent the baseball fields from being affected.
“Not every kid can go to the Wardell Leach Complex,” Wright said. “Campenella Park serves a community that needs it most.”

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.
