Pictured above are some of the members of Vibrant Church, located in Columbus, who recently paired up with First Presbyterian Church in Charleston to clear, cut and move ice storm tree debris from around the driveways and yards of more than 10 homes in the Charleston area. The Vibrant Church workers arrived with equipment, chain saws and “a willingness to share their love of Christ to our community and to serve and provide much needed help to these homeowners,” according to Charleston First Presbyterian Church member Elaine Venable, one of the local volunteers for the project.

Warm and pleasant greetings to all. We hope you are enjoying a good week.
The beginning of last week, workers were nearby and in our community cutting and piling limbs and digging out ditches. This improvement project is, of course, the result of the recent ice storm. Individual residents are still cleaning personal property while the lawn mowers begin with the first cuttings and trimmings.
It’s the mud-nesting barn swallow that comes before spring officially starts and christens the garage with pellets mixed to build nests in queer places!

JACKSON — Spring, which began March 20, serves as a good reminder to maintain your home to avoid an insurance claim.
“Your homeowners or renters’ policy can protect you against any damage you may find, so check your policy and talk to your insurance agent. Cleaning out gutters, checking for dead trees, and looking for fire hazards are just some of the tasks to be done inside and outside of your home,” said Insurance Commissioner Mike Chaney.
Outside your home:
• Check your roof for broken or missing shingles. Replace shingles to avoid leaks.

I have been a Southern Baptist for as many years as I am old, and it’s just way too late to change my road now.
My mother and daddy were Baptist, but she called herself a “hard-shelled” Baptist. I was raised in one of these churches and they were somewhat of different beliefs and actions than what I have grown accustomed to now.

RAYMOND — Mississippi State University Extension Service forestry specialists are encouraging timberland owners to keep a watchful eye on their property for signs of bark beetles and disease after January’s ice storm.
Of Mississippi’s five species of bark beetles, the three species of Ips engraver beetles and southern pine beetles, or SPB, raise the most concern. Black turpentine beetles are not as common or as deadly and are of least concern.
