Beebe returns to Main Street
“I was excited when the Picayune Main Street, Inc. Board of Directors asked me to return as manager to the local Main Street program. Also, extremely grateful to Picayune City Manager Jim Luke, Mayor Ed Pinero and city council for their blessings and approval to relocate our office,” says Beebe. “One of my favorite sayings is ‘There is nothing stronger than the heart of a volunteer.’ I have to say, I had a blast working on committees, projects and events with the most dedicated staff and group of volunteers in Pearl River County from March 2005 to May 2010. I look forward to getting new committees in place and working with ‘seasoned’ volunteers as well as new volunteers who share the same passion and desire to keep Picayune moving forward.”

School stands behind family
St. Charles Borromeo Catholic School’s Principal Angela Ingram announced that the school will hold a “St. Charles Walks to defeat” ALS fundraising walk this Friday, from 1:15 to 2:45 p.m.” The disease is also known as Lou Gehrig's disease. The diagnosis has no known cure. Ingram says, “We are walking – for those who can't. But, there is one more reason we as a school family would like to include. We have a parent of two of our students who has been recently diagnosed with ALS. We want to show him and all sufferers of this disease our support.”

Arboretum Paths
Passion vine (Passiflora incarnata) is known for being a host plant for the gulf fritillary butterfly. It is not unusual to have this plant arrive from the nursery covered with scary-looking orange caterpillars that have equally frightening black spines. Although the caterpillars look like they might sting, their spines are actually quite fragile and will break off easily.
