Shopping News Photos by Donald Reese Another round of heavy rain contributed to yet another round of flooded roadways across the region last week. Once again numerous water rescues were called in as motorists continue to ignore barricades and find themselves in real trouble. The two gentlemen in the upper photo were discussing the water level at Keller’s Mill covered bridge. The one man witnessed a horse, which had initially made it to safety, getting swept away after it had wandered back in to the water. The bottom photo shows several horses with very little pasture left to roam.
