Happy Easter. In the gardening world that means a lot. We have always used Easter as the magic date to make your next move in the garden. This year Easter is unusually early so we can only hope that the old wives’ tale will hold true. I don’t remember a year in my life that we had a frost after Easter. I may be forgetting one, but it has always astounded me that somehow Mother Nature knows to call it quits on all this funny business after Easter.

The bonding company acting as guarantor for three former Indianola aldermen has agreed to pay nearly $44,000 owed to the city for a 2023 improper payout to a local contractor.
State Auditor Shad White’s office confirmed to The Enterprise-Tocsin this week that it has received a check from Western Surety Bonding Co. in the amount of $43,600. This payment will make the city whole and will likely end a two-and-a-half-year saga that dominated the final two years of the last board’s term.

The pace of modern life is so packed and structured, sometimes it’s great to have an open afternoon with nothing planned.
That’s how it was last Friday when, out of the blue, I got a text from my long-time friend Scott Coopwood from Cleveland.
“Headed to Jackson for Morgan Freeman’s Blues symphonic deal tonight. Do you have any interest in joining us? I’ve got two extra VIP tickets.” A quick call to Ginny and we were in.

A federal judge ruled last year that Mississippi’s Supreme Court districts violated the Voting Rights Act. Instead of redrawing the districts, lawmakers will wait and see what comes of an appeal and a case before the U.S. Supreme Court.
Mississippi lawmakers will not take up redistricting of the state’s Supreme Court districts, choosing instead to wait and see what comes of an appeal as well as how the U.S. Supreme Court rules on a case involving the Voting Rights Act.
