Before starting a new week of work and play, let’s take a look at good news from last week:

U.S. Attorney Dunn Lampton announced his office will re-investigate the 1960s killings of three Miss-Lou residents.

The victims included Wharlest Jackson, who died in 1967 when a bomb exploded as he started his car. They also included Charles Eddie Moore and Henry Hezekiah Dee, both of Franklin County, whose bodies were found in Louisiana weeks after they disappeared. While probing decades-old cases isn’t easy, it will be an opportunity for families and the community to gain closure and see justice done.

Larry L. &uot;Butch&uot; Brown, who directs the Department of Transportation, said Wednesday MDOT has worked on $52 million in projects in Adams County the last four years. Projects constructed, in construction or being planned include a new interchange at Liberty Road and Seargent S. Prentiss Drive, at $16 million, and an $8.4 million reworking of the U.S. 61 and John R. Junkin Drive intersection. Another will rework D’Evereaux Drive-Seargent Prentiss intersection.

MDOT is also helping rebuild a fire station, improve drainage, light the river bridge, improve the port and airport and build a helicopter pad at Natchez Regional Medical Center.

Morris White, Concordia Parish civil defense director, said Tuesday his department has presented the Ferriday Fire Department with $25,000 worth of Homeland Security-funded equipment, including equipment for the handling of hazardous materials.

Ferriday Mayor Gene Allen asked council members Tuesday to compile lists of houses in serious need of repair. That’s because state Sen. Charles Jones, D-Monroe, told him money will soon be available for repair of such houses &045; up to $25,000 per house.

Here’s to another week of good news.
