“I acted more like a tomboy, and my mom wanted me to be more of a ‘girlie’ girl.”
That’s how Erica Crimm first got involved in pageants as a child, but it turned out that her mother had nothing to worry about.
Crimm went on to win numerous pageants and even competed for Miss Mississippi in 2007. Along the way, the recent Mississippi State graduate earned enough money to pay for her college.
“Many people don’t understand that pageants are a lot more than beauty contests,” Crimm said. “You have to be prepared for interviews, do community service and work to get sponsors. It has been very good for me over the years.”
Community service is Crimm’s favorite part. She enjoys visiting nursing homes and Blair Batson Children’s Hospital. -------for the rest of the story see The Yazoo Herald printed edition or subscribe to the Digital Edition.----------

Dear Editor:
In the 6 April 2013 edition of The Yazoo Herald you published a letter from Cynthia Fuller, "Thanks to (Van) Foster for helping get bridge replaced."
After reading this lettter, I had the impression that the bridge was completed and traffic was moving along normally.
Wrong! Last Sunday I was on my way to homecoming at Providence Baptist Church. I turned north onto old 49 and saw the signs that the bridge was out. I assumed that they hadn't gotten around to removing the signs. I expected to cross Thompson Creek on the new bridge. When I approached the creek the road was barricaded and construction equipment was down in the creek.
Perhaps The Herald can keep us updated as to the progress being made on the new bridge.
