The people made the headlines in the Miss-Lou this week, and that&8217;s how it should be.

Let&8217;s review the stories that were worth telling this week:

4No one can begin to even guesstimate the number of lives Mamie Mazique has touched in Natchez. She&8217;s helped raise generations of children, instilling in them early values they passed on to countless others.

Forty years after AJFC Community Action Agency really got going, Mazique is stepping down for some time of her own, but she won&8217;t easily be forgotten and her legacy will live on for years to come.

4Natchez resident Johnny Junkin was picked by the governor to serve on the state Workers Compensation Commission as an attorney. Junkin will fill a six-year term, bringing 30 years of law experience with him.

Having local names and faces in Jackson always bodes well for Natchez.

4Burnley Cook has been leading a team of volunteers since spring in hopes of bringing a little of the Christmas past into the future.

The group is creating replicas of the wooden Christmas decorations International Paper made famous years ago.

The display will be open to the public, free of charge, on the Vidalia Riverfront starting Nov. 4.

Our community is only as good as its residents make it; this week, these three made us look great.
