Heed the warning, Road Closed
The sign says “Road Closed,” and that’s what it means. Police Chief Monte Asher stated that the only traffic other than the workers, will be those who live in this particular section of N. Franklin Street. Residents and emergency vehicles will be permitted on North Franklin Street from Beatty Avenue to Landon Road. Also, the entrance to the Softball for Girls diamond from N. Franklin Street will be open. For the safety of the working crew, do not drive where it says road closed or you may be stopped by police officers and receive a traffic ticket.

Dump trucks ends up in ditch
A dump truck rounded a curve on State Route 37 just north of Magnetic Springs last Tuesday and ended up in the ditch. The driver of the truck was hauling shredded metal and was close to his delivery destination. When rounding the curve, the truck got pulled into the ditch and overturned. The accident took place between Hopewell and Askins roads. The road was closed approximately four hours while officials were investigating the incident. No other information was available to the press. (Photo by Sherryl Sheets)
