Clogged arteries cause heart attacks. Clogged rivers cause floods.
If plaque clogs your widowmaker artery and you don’t get a stent, you may have a serious heart attack. The Mississippi River is the country’s main transportation artery. It’s vital to our economy and national security. It is clogged with plaque. It needs a stent.

Providing cooked meals to warming shelters and distributing food to those in need in their communities were two of several ways that personnel with the Mississippi State University Extension Service responded during and after the Jan. 23-27 extreme winter weather event.

STARKVILLE During weather-related emergencies, Mississippi State University Extension locations often serve as warming stations, distribution sites for basic supplies and bases of operation for first responders, but for the state’s community-based educational agency, its people remain the most important resource.
As communities across north Mississippi continue recovering from the Jan. 23-27 winter storm, MSU Extension coordinators and agents have been assisting local officials, county emergency managers and first responders since before the storm to help those in need.

The recent cold weather made me melancholy as I sat and pondered yesteryears. It made me remember the days of cold winter that I spent with my grandmother and grandaddy in Montgomery County.
You hear people talk about living in the country; well, this was living in the country. The property sat right on the Montgomery County and Attala County line. The old barn, housing the old Guernsey milk cow, sat straddle the two county lines.

Warm and pleasant greetings to all. We hope you are having a good week and you and your family are doing well.
There have been some challenging times these past several days, and weeks. It was Wednesday, Feb. 4, around 2:45 p.m. when we first saw the lights again. At this writing, several residents are waiting for Wi-Fi and/or TV reconnections. The lights being restored sent shouts of gladness, yet we are remembering and continuing in prayer for others who are yet experiencing the ice storm devastation.

I hope everyone has power back on. I know there are still some with specific issues that are waiting, but, hopefully, most are now enjoying all those creature comforts we sometimes take for granted until they are gone. My mom, Margaret Ross, and sister Carol had gotten so used to not having power that they didn’t even realize the power was back on for almost an hour! I can’t tell you the number of people who have said they continued to flip switches (especially in the bathroom) even when they had a flashlight in hand. We are creatures of habit, aren’t we?

Before near-record crop yields were harvested by U.S. farmers, the seed, plants and soil had received major scientific attention in laboratories located on an obscure country road in rural Washington County, Mississippi.
In the hamlet of Stoneville, one mile west of the town of Leland, research by federal and state agricultural scientists has provided the spark for successful farming and a leading-edge mechanization of harvest across the U.S. farm belt, and in nations that are major competition for our farm commodities on the world market.

Young Americans for Liberty at Ole Miss advocates for one core principle above all others: individualism.
While many think of civil liberties in terms of speech, privacy or economic autonomy, one of the most overlooked liberties is the freedom of parents to direct their children’s education.

It didn’t take long for the bickering to start after the Senate Education Committee on Feb. 3 unanimously killed House Bill 2, the wide-ranging school choice proposal, with only two minutes of consideration.
Gov. Tate Reeves said he’s never been more disappointed in elected officials than he was in Lt. Gov. Delbert Hosemann and Sen. Dennis DeBar, R-Leakesville, the chairman of the Education Committee. The governor claimed the two worked closely with Democrats to kill the school choice bill, and accused them of hiding their efforts from conservatives.

One of the strange things about mass media is that you deal in masses of people. Every week we have multiple obituaries in our newspapers. Each of the deceased leaves behind a wake in the water of humanity, touching other lives in innumerable and profound ways.
Our God creates so many people and yet each person is unique and precious. It is mind boggling, but that’s simply the way it is. Our job at the newspaper is to chronicle their passing. We cannot begin to fully express the magnitude of their journey.
