At the last city board meeting, three citizens expressed concerns and frustrations with the local municipal school district.
This week Alderman Aubry Brent Jr. took the time to show some positive accomplishments by recognizing Yazoo City senior Johnny Rucker.
“Mr. Ward, Mr. Brown and Mr. Fouche came in and were pretty tough on our public schools,” Brent said. “With this recognition today, I would like to remind the community...that some adults in the community need to step up to the plate. We have a lot of kids who are diamonds in the rough.”

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.
