Joyce Coomer: Please care for your animals Two small kittens lost their lives on Jamestown Street this morning . . . I didn't know these kittens.

What happened to impressive roadside maintenance? Writer asks 'For years maintenance on roads here was always very impressive, without spraying; what happened?' - Marie Freeman Personal commentary Marie Freeman writes: Not all of us can afford or have good health to maintain our road frontage. Why have I paid property taxes for decades and need to maintain my road frontage? Have no children paid school tax for decades! My frontage is a jungle! Not been maintained at all this year. I asked for no spraying after my mulberry tree turned brown, my pecan tree, walnut tree, and my peach trees I cut down this month! Blackberries on road frontage had no fruit, however the briars weren't even affected. I have a spring not 75 ft from road to, old timers use to tell me the wagon train gathered water from. They mowed once down my road this year, skipped my frontage! Guess because of the red flags. Side boom mowing not done at all. For years maintenance on roads here was always very impressive, without spraying; what happened? --Marie FreemanComments re article 92152 James Getchell on roadside spraying Stop the insanity 2017-08-14 09:16:21 | Comments | Printable version
