It’s just that time of year.
Except for the Christmas holiday season, this is always the busiest time of year for everyone, with weddings, graduations, school field trips and so many more events to pack calendars until summer arrives. The CARE calendar is also filled with numerous events to welcome summer and even take you into the fall.
It is time to saddle up your horses again for our Kentucky Derby Watch Party on Saturday, May 2, beginning at 4 p.m. at the Charleston home of Patti and Ken Gregory.

Benjamin Franklin said, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” Bigger Pie Forum says, “Billions of prevention is worth trillions of cure.”
Franklin was talking about preventing fires. We’re talking about preventing floods. Rain causes floods. A clogged Mississippi River makes them longer and higher. Mudberg clogs the river. It’s a mound of sediments (sand and mud) below the Old River Control Complex (ORCC) upstream of Baton Rouge.

“We need a big gun for Mississippi,” said a 100-year-old supporter with a laugh at Gunn’s announcement on Tuesday in Clinton.
Former Speaker of the House Philip Gunn officially threw his hat in the ring for Governor of Mississippi on Tuesday.
Gunn, speaking at a campaign event at the Clinton Visitors Center, launched his gubernatorial run by laying out an agenda heavy on economic development, social issues, and education but also with a vision to make the Magnolia State attractive to young people where they will stay, work and raise a family.
