On January 26, 2026, the Attala County Board of Supervisors had an emergency meeting and approved a Warming Center to open at the Attala County Coliseum. We started off with only one guest staying the first night, due to the fact that most were already put up in motel rooms thanks to many donations collected the previous weekend. By our final night on Sunday, we had eight sleeping overnight. The community was extremely generous with donations, monetary and otherwise. Many came to us all hours of the day asking what they could do to help. People signed up for volunteer shifts.

Garden practices
By Felder Rushing
What’s the hardest thing, psychologically, for normally reasonable gardeners to do? For decades I have extolled folks to adopt some very straightforward and rewarding horticultural practices which, on first glance, seem counterintuitive.
Not talking about resisting new plants with unknown abilities to survive our climate, or raising the mower to have a thicker, fuller, less weedy lawn, or even being judgmental about how others prune their crape myrtles.
