Many people have difficulty   defining integrity.
It may seem simple enough, but the majority of the population leans toward ethics, values or beliefs.
“If we cannot define integrity, then it is no wonder so few achieve it,” said Dr. William L. Jenkins.
The Yazoo City native recently published a book about the importance of integrity and how to achieve it through three easy steps.
Jenkins aims to put together a simple model that proves true integrity is not dead. Through practical examples and informative resources, he  defines integrity  through his latest book, Three Steps to Integrity: The ABC Model.
Jenkins, who grew up on Graball Hill, began his third book in 2008, shortly before the financial collapse.
“A friend of mine and I were bemoaning the lack of integrity we were seeing in just about every institution in society,” Jenkins said. “It started us on a quest to find out what integrity is and what it is not.”

The Triangle Cultural Center is making plans to adjust to a few changes that will begin with the upcoming new year.
Cary Hill, director of the Triangle, was happy to announce a variety of holiday events that will be held at the center over the next few weeks to the Board of Mayor and Aldermen at its open meeting this week.
But Hill also reminded city leaders of a few changes that will be made in January.
“As of the first of the year, the Yazoo Convention and Visitors Bureau will be moving out of the Triangle,” Hill said. “But I have rented the two spaces they now occupy, and I have a strong lead on a third space.”

He may still be a teenager, but it’s already clear that Will Guion is going places.
The 18-year-old has a drive that is quite impressive for a boy who hasn’t even graduated high school yet.
He recently earned the rank of Eagle Scout with the Boy Scouts of America. He is very active with community and civic work, particularly with his church and those less fortunate. He has made a name for himself among his peers, earning several awards and honors. And he is already making preparations to attend the United States Naval Academy.
It’s safe to say he’s on the right track.
Guion has a passion for Boy Scouts. Proudly displaying a multitude of badges, he is excited to teach the next generation of scouts the importance of the organization.
