On Wednesday a law enforcement car was observed going over 50 m.p.h. on North Madison Street in a 25 m.p.h. zone. No emergency lights or siren was on. This car made a few turns but never signaled the turns. It was also speeding through the school zone on Harper Road.
Inconsiderate of less
fortunate
This is in response to the Sound Off, “A recession of the mind.”
I don’t know what rock this caller has been hiding under, but this recession is definitely not in my mind.
My husband was laid off eight months last year and I have now been laid off for four months. We had no insurance while he was laid off and we can barely pay our bills and put food on the table.
I wonder if this person has been reading the paper lately. Several restaurants have closed in Corinth and local businesses have been systemically laying off since early last year.
I find a remark such as this caller’s very cold. Sounds as if this person is independently wealthy since he or she is unscathed by this recession. I only hope I find a job soon before my unemployment runs out. Because, guess what, the bills still keep coming no matter what.
Maybe this person should think about that while he or she counts their fortune!
Gazebo would be nice in
Honor Garden
After viewing the pictures of the Green Market, I thought how nice and how more attractive it would make the Honor Garden if there was a big wrought iron gazebo pavilion sitting out in the center of the Square.
Corinth needs something like that for attracting attention to the museum with a place to sit and think after seeing the sights. They’ll stay longer and wind up spending more. It could also be used for music get-togethers like at the courthouse.
Just look at the gazebo in Iuka and how nice it looks being made of wood. However, how long before they have to start their repair and upkeep on the wooden structure? When iron is used, its there until it is taken down. Think about it . . .
Prisoners’ schedule
needs changing
I recently read a story in the newspaper about the escapees from the Alcorn County jail. My question to the sheriff is why were these prisoners out of their cells at that time of morning?

Im sure the deputy was headed to help some other person with their insignificant problem that did not require him to use his emergency equipment. Worry about yourself and stop criticizing the law enforcement officers that are hurrying to respond to their calls whether emergency or not in as timely a manner as possible.

It's understood that they were escaping, but it is my understanding that prisoners are in a locked cell at night. This should mean they would have had no access to whatever fence they cut through to get out. So I also wonder, how did these prisoners get out of their cells to get to the fence to cut their way out?

I'm guessing the prisoners were out of their cells at that time of morning because they were ESCAPING!
