The Big Sandy Mountaineer -

Sheri Roth, Big Sandy's Post Master, says mail route carriers must make an attempt to deliver mail. An attempt, but at no time are they to put themselves at risk. Safety is the number one point at every training conference. Having said that the three Big Sandy Mail Carriers have had quite a year this winter. Tina Cook, Barbie Martin and Dennis Young either smiled or laughed out loud when asked about this year's attempts.

Tina Cook has worked for the post office for nine years but has only been delivering mail on Rural Route 1, or the Prairie Route for 3 1/2 years. She travels 140 miles a day....
