Be safe, not sorry!

To the editor:

With more talk about rural Marion County roads, I have to agree that surface road conditions due to Mother Nature this fall and winter are as poor as I’ve seen them the 40 years I’ve resided at Box 37, which is now 2876 20th Rd.

For the immediate time frame, I can only encourage and advise all people in our community to talk with our younger and less experienced drivers as well as lead by example to slow down and be safe while traveling these roads throughout the county until surface conditions improve.

Along with a few good prayers, may we all try to avoid a needless tragedy within our own communities?
