Perhaps I heard the phrase “can’t see the forest for the trees” prior to “Different Drum” (1967) by the Stone Poneys (which song launched Linda Ronstadt to superstardom) —
“But honey child I’ve got my doubts
You can’t see the forest for the trees”

Clogged arteries cause heart attacks. Clogged rivers cause floods.
If plaque clogs your widowmaker artery and you don’t get a stent, you may have a serious heart attack. The Mississippi River is the country’s main transportation artery. It’s vital to our economy and national security. It is clogged with plaque. It needs a stent.

Providing cooked meals to warming shelters and distributing food to those in need in their communities were two of several ways that personnel with the Mississippi State University Extension Service responded during and after the Jan. 23-27 extreme winter weather event.

STARKVILLE During weather-related emergencies, Mississippi State University Extension locations often serve as warming stations, distribution sites for basic supplies and bases of operation for first responders, but for the state’s community-based educational agency, its people remain the most important resource.
As communities across north Mississippi continue recovering from the Jan. 23-27 winter storm, MSU Extension coordinators and agents have been assisting local officials, county emergency managers and first responders since before the storm to help those in need.

The recent cold weather made me melancholy as I sat and pondered yesteryears. It made me remember the days of cold winter that I spent with my grandmother and grandaddy in Montgomery County.
You hear people talk about living in the country; well, this was living in the country. The property sat right on the Montgomery County and Attala County line. The old barn, housing the old Guernsey milk cow, sat straddle the two county lines.

You may be still waiting for electricity or water; I hope both are restored soon and you can begin to get things back to normal.
We had water the entire time of the ice storm, but lost electricity. Thank goodness for our fireplace and the wood that Gary and Andrew had piled up. Thank goodness for help getting it split.

Young Americans for Liberty at Ole Miss advocates for one core principle above all others: individualism.
While many think of civil liberties in terms of speech, privacy or economic autonomy, one of the most overlooked liberties is the freedom of parents to direct their children’s education.

Coral Depot has grown through word of mouth, social media, and the oldest marketing strategy of all: people telling people.
Some places in Mississippi rest on more than land—they rest on layers: memory, people, purpose. When you visit, you feel it. These places quiet you, draw you in, and remind you that this land holds a legacy.
Arriving at Coral Depot, you sense it—a feeling as distinctive as the beautiful longleaf pines that surround Sumrall.

One of the strange things about mass media is that you deal in masses of people. Every week we have multiple obituaries in our newspapers. Each of the deceased leaves behind a wake in the water of humanity, touching other lives in innumerable and profound ways.
Our God creates so many people and yet each person is unique and precious. It is mind boggling, but that’s simply the way it is. Our job at the newspaper is to chronicle their passing. We cannot begin to fully express the magnitude of their journey.
