Fundraiser set to conquer MCT

| 
Johnny Staples has made his life’s mission helping others.
Now, with his latest project, Focus on the Children, Staples and other community leaders have teamed up to help local students pass the MCT2 test.
Stables says Focus on the Children has adopted 6th grade classes from across the state, which will be the class of 2017, along with several classes in the county including those at Woolfolk Middle School, McCoy Elementary School, Bentonia Gibbs Middle School and Yazoo County Middle School.
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.
