The president of the Yazoo County Board of Supervisors says there’s a major health risk at Shady Lane Apartments, and the complex’s manager is trying to hide the problem.
But Shady Lane manager Robin Smith disputes those claims and says that an upcoming inspection will reveal that the problem is being exaggerated.
Cobie Collins said he visited the complex after a family was displaced by a fire around 2:30 a.m. Saturday. Collins said he was frustrated because Smith seemed uninterested in helping the tenants move into a vacant apartment.
While he was at the complex, Collins said he discovered what could be a serious health issue affecting many tenants. Many Shady Lane residents may be exposed to toxic black mold inside their apartments.

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.
