Shared concerns about Old Bethel Road
I used to run along this road. I have since changed my route. It was too dangerous to run along.
… No sidewalk, no crossing guard, and chaotic traffic equals an accident waiting to happen.
Our children should be a priority. I hope improvements are made.

Crestview needs better infrastructure
This is the same problem residents of Crestview have been bringing up for years. This town is too big for the shoddy infrastructure. Yeah, it was fine when all we had was a TG&Y and the local Piggly Wiggly.
We need sidewalks and extra lanes. There are crossing guards on Highway 85 to help kids cross; why not Old Bethel?
Oh, and by the way, the buses are packed to the gills, too. I still can't believe that all these kids will be going to a high school that hasn't changed much since I graduated 20 years ago.
We need better infrastructure. Where has all the money gone?

Kids shouldn't walk to school
Personally, I don't think it's safe for any kids to walk to school. The crime rate in this county is going up. And not to mention the pedophiles we don't know about.

Shoal Creek Rehabilitation deserved excellence award
Shoal Creek is an excellent facility. The CNAs work very hard to treat your family like one of their own.
The nursing staff go above and beyond to make sure the doctors stay abreast of your loved one's condition.
The therapists there are top notch, and I would pit them against any department in the country.
The activity department keeps (residents) engaged to avoid boredom and depression.
Then there is the back-line staff — the unsung heroes.
Maintenance keeps everything working; housekeeping keeps it sparkling; administration makes sure the machine runs in tip-top shape.
The dedication and self-sacrifice all of these individuals make to care for your loved one is amazing. The staff does this because they love their residents.
