Causing problems

A downed telephone pole dropped two major phone lines across SR-155 near the Star Newspaper office early Monday morning about 7:15 a.m., stopping traffic until evening. Police officers manned the traffic problem, turning traffic around and diverting it around the affected area. A new pole was placed by Century-Liink and the wires re-strung Monday. The pole had rotted out at the bottom allowing it to fall dropping the lines.
