Bill Cossar, left, presents Tallahatchie countian Zach Sanders with a ceremonial check for $20,000 as this year’s recipient of the Bill Cossar Ole Miss First Scholarship.
When he donated $125,000 a few years ago to establish an endowment funding the Bill Cossar Ole Miss First Scholarship at his alma mater, the Teasdale community resident had one thought in mind.
He noted that his purpose in establishing the scholarship fund was to help ease a financial load that weighs on so many college graduates.

Under a traditional system, rice uses 30 to 36 inches of water a year, but Mississippi State University research has shown that rice can be grown without a constant flood. (Photo by MSU Extension Service/Kevin Hudson)
STARKVILLE — When a system works, there is little reason to change and many reasons to stick with success; any change in that system is often small things to improve efficiency.
Mississippi’s rice industry is not following that pattern.
Rice has been grown around the world for about 5,000 years on flat land that is flooded with immense amounts of water and then drained at crucial times. Rice is from Asia, and its growth is limited to areas where these conditions could be met.

Every month, there are 15-20 people who miss food pantry distribution day on the next-to-last Saturday in the month, at each of the Charleston and Parchman facilities.
They often call and want food pantry volunteers to make special arrangements for them. For the protection of volunteers, such arrangements cannot be made.
