Letter: Lighting and Speed are issues George Rice writes: Would like to echo every word of Vonda Derman's comment about the bypass wrecks and put extra emphases about the lighting. I have always had difficulty seeing my next lane when turning at night, there has been times when I almost run off the road searching for my lane. As for speed, after the many wrecks at the cross roads it is simple to slow to about 40mph when approaching the lights at either cross roads. --George RiceComments re article 99659 Commentary Bypass Wrecks 2018-09-21 18:29:39 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback

Commentary: Bypass /Wrecks By Vonda Derman It's sad that it's come to this. I've even lost count of how many accidents have happened at both bypasses. One thing to me we all can agree on is, something has got to be done and done quickly, before someone else loses another life--a child, father, mother. No one deserves that because someone wasn't paying attention or was on a phone or couldn't see a light or was texting. One thing is for sure lighting is a Big factor there at night if it would save a life. Lord help put some lighting up, drop the speed limit, and put some slow strips down; all of them if it helps enforce the speed limits, helps save lives. I care, do you????? 2018-09-21 09:06:45 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback
Commentary: On the use of By Joyce M. Coomer When I was a child, my grandmother was called Mrs. Walter and her sister-in-law up the road was called Mrs. Oscar. As both ladies' first name was Cora, this was how people in the neighborhood knew which one was the topic of the conversation. Other ladies in the neighborhood were Mrs. and their first name. About the only exception to this was family members and children (no matter their age) were supposed to address their aunts as Aunt So-And-So, never just by their first name. There were always a few ladies who were so proper that no one was to use their first name -- even with Mrs. in front of it -- except close family members and life-long friends. 2018-09-21 09:01:50 | Comments | Printable version
