PICAYUNE —
Picayune Memorial High School recently held PMHS Night at Scooters Chicken as a fundraiser for the school. Manager, Ed David, presented a check to Picayune School Superintendent Dean Shaw and Coach Kristi Mitchell. The amount of the sizeable check, which both parties wish to remain unnamed, will be used to benefit students across the board and not earmarked for a particular department or program.
David said, “Coach Kristi and I have decided to collaborate on things for the school. Scooters wants to be involved in the community. We are family owned and operated; my wife and I were raised to be responsible contributers to the community in which we live. We have raised our son, Aaron, who owns this location the same as we were brought up. We all agree that the best way of doing this is through collaboration with the schools.”
Mitchell said, “Scooters is one of the community collaborators that we at Picayune Memorial High School are working with and are extremely thankful for. We will be having a student of the month for each grade. Students will be taken to Scooters, by Principal Kirkland and Shaw during the school day, for a free meal and we are working with M&M Printing to have a yard-sign for their lawn. We will do the same for sports programs. Students will receive recognition across the board.”
Shaw praised both Scooters and Picayune faculty and staff for the support they showed as they served food and waited tables. Shaw was present in the Scooters’ chicken suit which was not revealed until the very end of the event.
“According to reports, in the three-hour event there were approximately 120 in-store diners and the parking lot stayed packed. This did not include the drive-thru customers. We were very blessed to have a support system of local businesses like Scooters, faculty, students and their families,” said Shaw.

- Vocability Words can be both familiar and extremely confusing when taken from their usual context. Ask any wine enthusiast about legs, fat or bricks and they may assume you are speaking “Vinonese.” Ok — I made that word up; but the language of wine does indeed include legs, fat and brix which have entirely different meanings from what you might assume. Working with definitions from http://www.wineschool.com/vocabulary.html, try your basic knowledge of “Vinonese.”

City and PRC school work together for flower power
The City of Picayune began a partnership with Pearl River Central High School this past year in a pilot program to supply its own flowers and greenery for flower beds throughout the city. The program, which has been in the works for two years, became a reality as plants were put in the ground in the median area by Exit 6 on Mississippi Highway 43.

- Precautions for pet evacuation during natural disasters: Part 2 RedRover.org has put together a list of needs for reptiles and amphibian owners to use in the event of an evacuation. But they advise, “There are greatly varied needs which come with different species of reptiles and amphibians, owners should be familiar with their particular species to know which of the items listed apply to them.”
- Vocability Words can set a tone for a situation, alter someone’s perception of an individual or group — in short, there is power in them. The Bible cautions, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue...” — Proverbs in 18:21, ASB. With that in mind, I will be focusing on words, some recently used and some obscure, to test the readers and build on what you already know. There will be theme weeks, for instance next week will focus on words involving wine — for no particular reason! So try your vocabulary skills with the following and see how you score. I’m always open to suggestions for material.

Arboretum Paths
The deck outside our Visitor Center has been the location for many wildlife sightings over the years. In addition to the regular scurrying of well-fed squirrels, we’ve encountered chickadees and woodpeckers, skinks with electric blue tails, newly emerged luna moths, and fledgling cardinals trying out their new wings and developing lungs.
