    As I write to you this week, I am reminded of so many words I hear each time someone passes from this life. He or she was such a wonderful person. Maybe we should just tell one another how wonderful or what a good cook they are or just thank them for being a friend. Too many times we wait and then it is too late. As the old song goes, "Wonderful things of folks are said after they have passed away. Give them the roses while they live trying to cheer them on, useless the flowers that you give after the soul is gone." Call someone today.

    Several missed our Valentine banquet. Maybe the cold night had something to do with our crowd. The fellowship was good, the food too and our entertainment. Randy Dunnam was supposed to sing but was only able to do one number because of a cold. His daughters filled in for him and were well received. Sela Smith, one of our own also sang and Brother Bobby brought a short devotional.

  • Gardening with Tim

    Now that you have most of your heavy pruning done, it’s time to spray. A good dormant oil will help take care of pests that have made it through the winter. Be sure to spray the underside of the foliage as well as the ground around the plant. You want to make sure that when you spray with a dormant oil that the temperature will not drop below freezing for a 24-hour period. I recommend spraying with a good fungicide at this time to try to keep diseases and fungus under control. If you have roses, ARS Judge and Master Rosarian, Jimmy Moser recommends spraying with a lime sulfur spray.

  • Homestead and voter ID issues die without fanfare

         Much to the dismay of elderly and disabled Mississippians, legislation designed to alleviate some of their tax burdens died a quick death in the Ways and Means Committee of the House of Representatives. The Chairman of that committee said he had too many questions about what he referred to as a complex local tax issue, despite the fact it the legislation has already been passed by the State Senate.

  • Lady Falcons down DeSoto Central, WU wins three

    Coach Richard Byrd was hoping to have a good showing during the Tupelo Softball Association Jamboree.  He got that and then some as the Lady Falcons picked up a wave of momentum heading into division play with a 2-1 win over 5A DeSoto Central Lady Jaguars on Saturday.

    Ingomar got on the board in the bottom of the second when Shelly Grisham smashed a RBI double to the fence in left to score Maggie Cobb from first, but the sophomore wasn’t done with her big-game heroics.

    That same defense could not be found against East Webster, as they mounted 21 hits in the game to the Urchins 3. East Union also fell to Ackerman on Saturday, 15-1.

    "We've been playing good, we're just not swinging the bats like we should right now. We're lucky to be 6-4 right now," Urchins head coach Chris Basil said.
