I feel bad for the one dead tree, but the tree and shrub problem in Natchez is about to get worse. No, not that they are dying, but that many are planted in 4 lane medians or too close to intersections that obstruct the view of drivers trying to crossover or enter lanes of traffic. In addition, when these beautiful Magnolias start shedding their huge leaves, the roadway is going to be a mess. Several of these traffic hazzards need to be removed immediately.

Finally! Nothing like a little one on one conversation to work things out. Now if they will just keep on talking.

It has already been determined by Phillips and others that the hospital should be sold. This study is evidently a legal requirement of the overall plan to get the hospital into private hands. I don't think it will take any consultant very long to see the need to sell the hospital, hopefully to a competent national firm. It's now, just a matter of how much a consultant will cost. Legal hoops. Time will tell.

Several of our churches had very positive recognitions of our service men and women on Sunday. Every family has been affected in some way. The list of servicemen in my family is long. Thank you all for your service to our country and for the freedom we enjoy today. I will never forget and always respect those who have given their lives or served America for us. Count your blessings. Thank God and thank those who serve today.

Well, that's good news. Our prayers were answered for all.

If we really care. Prosecute every adult that supports or encourages under age drinking including parents and coaches. Report, prosecute and publicize names of adults who give our kids alcohol, buys or sells it to teenagers. Blow the whistle on teen drinking parties. Provide special classes and deterents for teen violaters. Support your local PD when they stop your child for underage drinking. Shut down all the drive through alcohol sales. Take cold beer out of every convenience store. For some, you may think I am trying to take the fun out of life. I just want to see our kids live long enough to enjoy they life they have. So, what will we do? Speak up, or continue to look the other way? Kids do what their parents do, and they do what their friends do. Help educate both as to the destruction alcohol can cause and how to avoid it. We still have the problem because our society still condones it and we have not implemented a strong enough deterent to the crime. Somebody needs to write a new book to cover it all, "Drinking and Driving for Dummies". Thanks Julie

Phillips has been hired to fix the problem and his firm has done this many times over in other areas. They have already completed their study our our situation and are addressing much needed change. I know there are many different opinions, but we need to let them finish their job and the supervisors need to let it go. The county has already proven they cannot run a efficient hospital by the financial shape it is in now. I don't fault them, since I don't know how to run a hospital either. I care for the employees and appreciate their hard work, but it's time to get the hospital finances in the black before we lose it completely. Whoever buys the hospital must be competetive with other facilites in our area, or they too will go out of business. The patient still has the right to shop around.

The Ministerial Alliance did a good job reorganizing the food pantry, but the United Way who started paying the bills, took it over. Before the United Way and the Ministerial Alliance, a local church kept the food pantry going, and were doing fine on a smaller scale. We tend to go for the big and wind up with the bust, as in this case. It can be done, but it will take a much lower overhead for our churches to take it back or for the Ministerial Alliance to reconsider. I was supprised that the United Way wanted to take this on in the first place, since they have made a lot of cuts to Red Cross and other service agencies. There is a genuine need. Hopefully we can find a positive solution and enough volunteers and funds to make it work.
