PICAYUNE — On Feb. 17, the Mississippi Office of Highway Safety Planning held a “Buckle for Life” Luncheon to recognize and award the following police officers; Lt. James Bolton, Officer Chris Wagner, and Officer Matt Roberts for their diligent work towards saving lives in 2009, by actively enforcing the Mississippi Child Restraint Law and the Mississippi Seat Belt Law. These police officers know that children are priceless, and they work hard to bring the attention of how the sound of one click can mean the difference in the sound of a child’s laughter or the silence of a parents tear drops. The officers also work to ensure that the driving public, within the City of Picayune, are safe as possible by requiring the use of their seat belts, according to Mississippi State Law. Please join us in saluting these officers for a job well done.

Back home in high school with memories of the summer
By Dr. Stanley Watson/Syndicated columnist
Before I hardly realized it the summer was ending and school would be starting soon. It never occurred to me to attend school any place besides Randlett. I was impatient to get back with the gang - my kind of people. I left California with a somewhat slanted view of that state. I was no doubt biased because of my limited social contacts. Also, on a few occasions I had been exposed to the bias of Californians against "Okies". -
