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.

A new experience for me!
The cheer competition, Deep South Eras Cheer, was in New Orleans in a huge venue: spotlights, colored lights, big music, projection screens and excited announcers!
Plus, all the cheer girls of all ages from little to teens; their moms armed with hair spray, glitter and lipstick; and dads — some dressed in cheer T-shirts and carrying bags and younger children. Also, we grandmas were bringing up the rear and giving lots of encouragement to our little contestants.
