Last week felt like I should have been working in the garden, flying a kite, or wade fishing for crappie. Other than the two weeks of “seasonal” cold weather we experienced, it has been one of the mildest winters on record. Doves are already cooing, frogs are croaking, and turtles are sunning themselves on logs in ponds and creeks. I have noticed daffodils and jonquils emerging from their short winter nap, ready to show off to the world blazing white and yellow petals. In fact, trees are on the verge of bud break with some species already leafing out.

I have been to the beautiful synagogue many times for seminars and funerals. I am heartbroken by this. I am confident my sentiment is shared by almost every Northsider.

BROOKLYN — Road wins rarely come easy, and Tuesday night was no exception for PCS. Short-handed and tested late, the Bobcats stayed composed to edge Forrest County Agricultural High School 57-55 in boys’ basketball.
PCS controlled the tempo early on the road. The Bobcats weathered a rowdy home crowd by setting the tone in the opening quarter and led 13-11 after one. They executed even better in the second quarter, taking a 31-26 lead into halftime.
