OXFORD — A recent grant from the Mississippi Forestry Commission will help replace trees lost at the University of Mississippi due to recent storms, including those damaged during the January ice storm.
Although 95% of trees survived the historic winter storm, many were damaged and may need to be replaced. The grant will help fund the planting of 29 new trees across the Ole Miss campus, said Sophie Kline, arborist and superintendent of Department of Landscape Services.

As the years of our lives rush by in such urgency, I feel as if I am on a fast train to places that I sometimes want to go, and, at other times, to places I would really never like to travel.
I’ve lost so many of my family and so many close friends over the years that it seems as if I have hurried through some of my years.
Of course, I’ve lost my mother and daddy, three of my “in-loves-law,” and a host of friends. It just seems as if things are upside down when we lose family so young.

A tip of the hat to all who write weekly community news columns. Pat Deck, who I have read for years, and all you other columnists, this is hard work! I was co-editor of a weekly newspaper (Aberdeen) and then moved to The Memphis Commercial Appeal serving as bureau chief for northwest Mississippi and had daily deadlines for years. But, somehow, this weekly column comes around more often than the daily deadlines did. I understand that is impossible, but ... that’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
