Rural road to close

A bridge repair project on East 843 Road will force closure of a part of the road in the Carter’s Landing area, starting July 14.

The road will be closed until the work is complete, which is expected to be in two or three weeks. A wooden bridge will be replaced with a concrete bridge.

Those needing access to the area will need to use the Peaceful Valley Road.

Poll

The use of cell phones while driving is increasingly becoming an issue. What do you think about cell phone use by emergency personnel, like law enforcement officers, EMTs, firemen, etc.?

• If the law allows the common citizen to use cell phones while driving, emergency personnel should be able to also.
• Emergency personnel should be held to a higher standard. Since they are often driving faster than normal, they should not be allowed to use cell phones while driving, even if other citizens can.
• They should be allowed to use them like anyone else, but their host entities (hospitals, fire departments, cities, etc.) should carry extra insurance for this reason.
• Don't know.
