BA students learn about helmet safety
| 
| 
Benton Academy’s 3K through sixth graders recently enjoyed a program about the importance of wearing helmets while riding bicycles. The program was sponsored by the Brain Injury Association of Mississippi. At the conclusion of the program, each child was fitted for a helmet of their very own. Pictured above is BA junior Kathryn Dooley as she fits some of the 3K children.
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.
