Thanks Bruce Wark at warktimes.com - Local Reporting Stories with a Comments Section

Local indie reporter Bruce Wark has an active comment section which gives people a chance to connect and share their thoughts in the region.. and this is something that's helpful.

CHMA FM website closed their comment section during coviet-era for some unknown reason.. Erica Butler arrived at Mount Allison University reporter gig in 2020.. closing the comment section at the university's website seems senseless...  its something that is not helpful.

CHMA FM receives funding for journalism; Bruce Wark does not receive funding.  Just sayin...

   Has anyone from lower Rockport been asked for a light at our compromised bridge? Simple answer is No!
   The residents of Lower Rockport would rather have action and answers on getting our bridge replaced, so that we can have fire service, septic pumps, water delivery..etc. Ridiculous to put in a light at the bridge!
   I speak on behalf of the residents that live full time down here.

   I agree with Crow. I live in Lower Rockport and I’d much rather have a safe bridge that allows us to have basic services as she stated. Can someone please tell me the logic that went into this asinine idea?

   Crow does speak for all of us. A streetlight on a dangerously corroded bridge – our ONLY access to our homes from town – doesn’t do much to make us feel cared about. We worry whenever we go into town that we might not be able to return. That bridge should be a high priority, before someone is killed.

   Quite ridiculous to be concerned about Street lights, especially in Lower Rockport when our main concern is the bridge repair that keeps getting pushed back and back. That bridge is a necessity as it is the only means for permanent residents to get to and from town. This has been put off long enough and us residents are tired of being put on the back burner, especially when projects (like these proposed lights) are not as necessary as our bridge!

Thanks Bruce Wark for your efforts!
