Know your pond
goal and objectives
By Wes Neal
MSU Extension Service
STARKVILLE, Miss. -- A serious pond manager will know their pond goal and have specific objectives to achieve it.
A goal can be defined as a long-term statement of what you want the pond to become, while objectives are more specific and can be measured to determine if you are making progress towards the goal. Being measurable is key; this tells you if what you’re doing is working or if you need to change course.

Salads & Poolside Dips
By Lee Ann Flemming
I love salads. I could eat a “green salad” every single day. My carnivorous husband can take them or leave them, so I don’t have them as often as I would like.

I had a preliminary conversation with Robert Luckett, Director of the Margaret Walker Center at Jackson State University, en route to a booksigning, while preparing this piece. It was not lost on me that photographs comprising the backdrop to the event were primarily those of white authors: prominently Eudora Welty, William Faulkner and, largest of all, Ernest Hemingway, an author from elsewhere.
The omission of African American authors — Mississippians Margaret Walker, Jesmyn Ward, and Natasha Trethewey among them — is a sin of unintentional omission rather than racism.

This may be a paragraph no editorial writer ever thought he would compose. But Hunter Biden, the drug-addicted, laptop-misplacing, unqualified Ukraine energy company board member, is actually doing something good for a change.
The Washington Post website reports that Biden has found his voice on social media. In May he joined the X platform, formerly called Twitter, and has been giving his many critics as good as he gets from them. Much more importantly, he is writing in detail about his long struggle with drugs in an effort to let other addicts know that they too can clean up.
