It’s deja vu all over again for more than a dozen families in the rural community of Fairbanks in northeast Gainesville who are trapped after heavy rains.
As was the case in 2017 after Hurricane Irma, their makeshift bridge on Northeast 100th Avenue that allows them to drive over Forest Creek into town for groceries and other essentials was washed out by Elsa’s rains earlier this week.
And once again, county officials say because it’s private property, they can’t invest tax money in roads or bridges unless the residents chip in through a special assessment, which would be a new tax on their property tax bills.

Smith is still pinching himself. Getting an opportunity to learn from someone like that is incredible, he said of Robshaw, who is coming back from a dislocated shoulder suffered in his MLR debut in April. Just having him as a resource to watch film with, ask questions, be friends with as well … Being able to chat with him about life beyond rugby and what it s like to be a pro and an international player, he added. There s so much you can learn from someone off the field as well. He s certainly a big part of that, too.
The 35-year-old Robshaw won 66 caps for England, captaining the side 43 times. But he isn t the only big name wearing San Diego colours.
