Complain about a road in your area

As student athletes return to competition, their parents likely are unaware that barely a third of America's high schools with a sports program have a full-time professional athletic trainer.
A four-month Scripps Howard News Service review found that for every high school that has one or more athletic trainers regularly assigned to the training room, two other schools rely on a patchwork of coaches trained in first aid and part-time athletic trainers, nurses, emergency medical technicians or team doctors.
Despite dramatic improvements in DNA analysis and other breakthroughs in forensic science, police fail to make an arrest in more than one-third of all homicides. National clearance rates for murder and manslaughter have fallen from about 90 percent in the 1960s to below 65 percent in recent years.
More than 100 people die every day on America's killer roads. The routine act of driving has become the riskiest thing most Americans do. Yet sometimes the deadliest roads seem disarmingly safe -- a small country lane winding gently through rolling hills or a perfectly straight superhighway stretching across a vast desert landscape.
America's wild hog population is exploding and spreading across the country, more than doubling in size and range in the past 20 years. Two decades ago, somewhere between 500,000 and 2 million wild pigs roamed the United States in 17 states. Now the population numbers between 2 million and 6 million in 44 states.

Killer Roads
The erea in front of 9370 Wilson Mill Rd. No seeing distance coming out of driveway. Road is too narrow. Hills have hanging trees that might fall. Lots of trafic now that big school started and new school built at end of road. Dangerous from 301 Hwy to Starlanding Rd. This is in Desoto co.
