In order to be an effective leader, you have to be willing toaccept change while knowing when to stand up for what is right,Sen. Chris McDaniel told 70 of Mississippi’s top high school juniorsat the 26th annual Electric Power Associations of Mississippi YouthLeadershipWorkshop Feb. 29 - March 2, in Jackson.McDaniel’s speech was part of an intensive workshop experience

that included meetings with state legislators, tours of the stateCapitol, team-building exercises and fun activities.“It is our goal to encourage and challenge students to be active

in leadership roles,” said Ron Stewart, senior vice president of Elec-tric Power Associations of Mississippi and host of the three-dayevent.Stewart praised the students for their many accomplishments

and challenged them to make a difference in their school and com-munity. “Now is the time to put your skills to work!”he told them.Stewart said he is proud of this year’s group of students and can

truly see their amazing potential. “This has been an exceptionalgroup of young people this year, and it’s inspiring to see them asthey step into leadership roles. I’m excited to see what great thingsthey will do in the future.”This year’s participants, who represented schools throughout the

state, earned the expense-paid trip to the workshop in a competi-tive selection process sponsored by their electric power association.

Students accept andprepare for challenge to lead

pring is a mixed blessing in theSouth. Nature invigorates uswith fresh color, new life andlonger, warmer days.Yet nature turns nasty when

severe thunderstorms fire up, hammering uswith lightning and hail and life-threatening tor-nadoes.We remember with sadness the loss of life

and property caused by tornadoes in recentyears, the most destructive occurring this timelast year. De historic 2011 Super Outbreakoccurred April 25-28, when more than 300 tor-nadoes claimed nearly 350 lives and injuredthousands in several southeastern states, includ-ing Mississippi. Smithville, in Monroe County,was destroyed by a rare EF-5 tornado—the firstto hit Mississippi since 1966.We can’t prevent severe weather but we can

plan our response. Reacting quickly and deci-sively to a severe weather alert can save lives, butfirst you need to have a plan.Your plan should start with a reliable way to

receive severe weather warnings the instant theyare issued. Severe weather warnings come in var-ious forms: text messaging, emails, TV andradio broadcasts, weather radio alerts and evenpersonal phone calls. In this age of instant com-munications, it’s easier than ever to receive offi-cial storm warnings at any time or place. (Don’twait for a siren, which may not exist in yourarea.)Severe weather can knock out satellite TV

service and cause power outages, so have somebattery-operated means of communication.Keep spare batteries handy and your cell phonecharged. An inexpensive weather radio is essen-tial.Broadcasters can pinpoint storm cells and

predict their paths to some extent. But to makesense of the geography, you need to know thenames of the counties and communities sur-rounding your location. Keep a state map in

your emergency kit for this reason.Next, make a plan for seeking shelter wherev-

er you and your family may be at any time ofday or night. Identify a safe shelter at your workplace or school, as well as the home.Your first choice for shelter should be a base-

ment, storm shelter or safe room, according tothe National Weather Service. Lacking those,choose an interior bathroom or closet.If you live in a mobile home, you must plan

to take shelter in a safer location when theweather turns severe. Many of the fatalities inthe April 2011 tornadoes occurred when resi-dents remained in mobile homes.Does your community have a public shelter?

Now is the time to ask.Above all, don’t wait around to see a tornado

before you take shelter. You may not realize thatthe big, dark cloud heading your way is actuallya tornado—until debris starts hitting you.Once you have a weather disaster plan in

place, explain it to your entire household.Knowing what to do in an emergency situationcan not only save a life but help reduce confu-sion and ease stress for everyone.Even after the storm passes, danger persists.

Downed power lines are deadly—and difficultto see. Don’t approach a damaged or downedline for any reason! Report it immediately toyour electric power association.

Heads-up: Springweatherlikely to include severe storms

Mississippi is . . .. . . a place young folks are proud to call home, judging fromthese comments from Boy Scouts working to earn a Communi-cation merit badge with help from instructor Janet Domas:

I am proud to be a Mississippian because the people here aredecent. Dey actually care if you are in pain and try to help youin any way they can. People here are nice and respectful to everyone no matter what age.

— Matt Shine, Troop 7, Meridian

Mississippi has the best kind of people: strong and independentbut also kind and helpful. We always show good ol’ southernhospitality.

— Pearson Kelly, Troop 9, Meridian

De state is full of nature, mainly warm climates, and has a lot ofhistory from Indian to the Civil War. It also isn’t that high-pricedof a place to live, and the main reason I like to live here isbecause of the food!

— Dustin Kelly, Troop 71, Hickory

One of things I enjoy about Mississippi is that it’s not crowded.You can live in the country and be quiet.

Trees

How old is that tree?A tree must be approximately 100 years old or

older to qualify for the Société Des Arbres registry.Different tree species grow at different rates, butthe registry uses this simple formula to estimatethe age of any tree:

1.Measure the circumference in inches at a levelof 4 1/2 feet above the ground.

2. Determine the diameter in inches by dividingthe circumference by pi (3.1416). To convertto feet, divide the result by 12.

3. Determine the age by dividing the diameterin inches by 0.36. The result is theapproximate age of the tree.

Volunteer effort documents, promotes preservation of

Mississippi’s old-growth trees

By Debbie StringerNo one can pinpoint the exact age of the Ruskin

Oak in Ocean Springs.But the live oak’s 28-foot circumference, as meas-

ured in 1974, suggests the tree is about 333 years old.If that estimate is accurate, the evergreen tree

sprouted from the sandy soil around 1692, beforethe original French settlers arrived in the region.

Named for Englishman John Ruskin, a 19th cen-tury author and art critic who espoused paintingfrom nature, the Ruskin Oak stands on private prop-erty in a quiet residential neighborhood next toBiloxi Bay.

/e Ruskin Oak has withstood hurricanes, popu-lation growth, road building, residential develop-ment, climbing kids and at least one rope swing.

Some of its massive serpentine limbs droop to theground, disappear into the soil and emerge a short

distance away. His growth habit may brace the treeagainst hurricanes—but not chain saws.

Protection from destruction by humans will help theRuskin and other old-growth trees in Mississippi con-tinue to grow for generations to come.

Such is the goal of the Société Des Arbres (Society ofTrees), based in Ocean Springs. He nonprofit organiza-tion promotes the identification and preservation of anirreplaceable aspect of Mississippi’s natural heritage,and records the historic trees in a permanent registry.

He distress of losing old-growth trees to bulldozersin her hometown motivated Ocean Springs GardenClub member Ethelyn Conner to form the Société DesArbres in 1971.

“Lo and behold, the developers started taking downall these trees. Hey moved everything out—every tree,every weed. And that just about killed me,” Connersaid.

When she bemoaned the loss to Valney Cissna Jr.,then director of the Gulf Coast Regional PlanningCommission, he suggested she start a tree society.

Conner found a local sponsor for the project in theOcean Springs Garden Club. He first certificate of reg-istration was granted to the City of Ocean Springs forall qualifying trees on municipal land. Certificate No. 2went to the owner of the Ruskin Oak.

He registry grew to become a statewide effort uponits affiliation with He Garden Clubs of MississippiInc., the current sponsoring organization.

At age 96, Conner remains active in the Société DesArbres, serving as co-chair with Beverly Watson, amember of the Gautier Garden Club.

So far, the registry comprises 1,181 trees, all but 16of them located in Mississippi. He organization relieson the public to identify and register trees, which mustbe at least 100 years old to qualify.

Moss Point tops the list with 211 registered trees,due largely to a door-to-door tree-measuring campaignled by local Boy Scouts. Pass Christian is close behindwith 198, and Biloxi has a respectable 138.

Fourteen tree species are currently represented in thestatewide registry: live oak (the most prominent, with1,116 listed), water oak, white oak, red oak, willow

oak, pin oak, magnolia, pecan, cedar, American elm,red (or silver) maple, birch, red cedar andsugar maple.

Donna Smith, director of the NatchezTrace District of He Garden Clubs of Mis-sissippi, and her husband, Darrell, registeredtheir 134-year-old water oak last year. Heynamed it the Smith Solomon Oak, a nod tothe past property owners who built the homethey share in McComb.

Heir tree measures 12 feet 6 inches in circum-ference and has a limb spread of 97 feet. HeSmiths enjoy a view of the old oak from theirkitchen window. In 2010, they spied a pair of Mis-sissippi kites nesting among its branches.

“I’ve often wondered if, 134 years ago, someoneactually took the time to plant the seedling. Or, if anacorn sprouted and the seedling was nurtured by some-one who had the foresight to know that it would oneday grow into the majestic oak it is today,” DonnaSmith said.

Anyone can register any species of tree at least 36inches in diameter, an indication of 100 or more yearsof age. He registry’s noninvasive method used to esti-mate age follows a simple formula based on the circum-ference of the tree (see box on page 4), thus avoidingthe need to bore into the tree to count rings.

He tree owner or sponsor measures the tree, gives ita name and submits a tree registration form, along witha small fee to cover expenses. He Société Des Arbresissues an official certificate of registration to the ownerand files information about the tree in its permanentregistry.

“People are thrilled when they get their trees regis-tered, and they have little family ceremonies to dedi-cate their tree,” said Watson, a member ofSinging River Electric Power Associa-tion.What motivates people to

register a tree? “I think it’sa matter of pride,” Wat-son said. “You namethe tree, you investin the tree andyou’re proud ofit. And I believeit enhances thevalue of theproperty. Plus,if anything hap-pens that threat-ens the tree, youhave (the registry)as a leverage point,for the city or countynot to cut down thetree.”

He registry is archived atthe Ocean Springs MunicipalLibrary, but it is not accessible to thepublic. Watson, a retired nurse, is preparing

the registry forposting on the Garden Clubs of

Mississippi website for all to see.“I’m not a tree hugger,” Watson said, laughing. “But

you have to have a respect for the trees and their envi-ronment. Otherwise, we won’t have anything to leaveour generations to follow. And there’s so much historyto these trees.”

For more information or to register a tree, contact Bev-erly Watson, Société Des Arbres co-chair and registrar, at228-497-5679 or bsmwatson@bellsouth.net.

Old-growth trees support a wide range of plant, insect, bird and animallife, such as this resurrection fern sprouting from the Ruskin Oak’s limbs.

This centuries-old live oak is one of a group of three known as Faith, Hopeand Charity, located on the grounds of Twelve Oaks in Ocean Springs. Allthree are registered with the Société Des Arbres. The Land Trust for theMississippi Coastal Plain acquired the property in 2005 and is exploringideas for public use. The 30-acre site includes native plants, walkingtrails, marshes, an observation deck and a historic home, part of which isbelieved to be an original 1800s African American church.

admit to a keen proclivitytoward nostalgia. And Iknow that is shared bymany of you; responses tovarious columns and mag-

azine articles verify this conclusion. “Ifonly this old house—or car or farm toolor desk or any number of variousobjects—could talk, I’m sure it wouldhave some interesting stories,” we oftensay. Without question, we hold a deepfascination for the past.In the last 30-plus years of cranking

out words related to the outdoors, I havedone much wondering about the pastand attempting to recapture some of theelements of days now long gone. I havetalked to and written about crumblingbuildings, neglected tombstones, agingoak trees and winding streams. All haveresponded in some haunting, surrealfashion. The journey has been fullyintriguing.A few days back Jerry Thomas

stopped by. He and I have been friendssince middle school, and that qualifies asancient by the measurements of many.Jerry recently retired from Central Elec-tric Power Association, where he spent40 years. After the usual country greet-ings, Jerry extracted a stiff-paper packetfrom his shirt pocket. The packet wasone of those old units with a finishthat appeared to be made of wax orparaffin to maintain its protectivequalities. And itwas pristine. Myimaginationbegan to soar.Closer

examinationrevealed thatthe containerwas from alocal hardwarestore that Inever knew existed. Printed there wasthe name and address. There was also aphone number—69! I can not envisionphone numbers being as simple as twodigits. And there were promotionalwords highlighting products carried,among them “shot gun [sic] shells ofevery brand.” Open the flap and thereprinted was first-aid advice for brokenbones, burns, insect stings, wounds,severe cramps, carbon monoxide gas poi-soning, sun stroke and heat exhaustion.It was, however, what the packet con-

tained that was of greater import. Folded

inside, and in a similar condition of per-fection as its container, was a Mississippihunting license. It was issued to a Mr. E.B. Scott and dated July 1, 1929 – June30, 1930. The cost was $3!I know nothing of the purchaser, but

the dates suggest that those were thedays of hunting in a simple form. There

were no deer orturkeys in the areaat that time, andhunting then basi-cally meant squir-rels and rabbits. Anoccasional duckwould figure intothe equation, aswould the thenubiquitous quail.All would ultimate-

ly be cooked and put on the table. AndMr. Scott’s shotgun would likely havebeen, like those of his comrades, a sin-gle-barrel 12-gauge. Maybe a NitroHunter in the configuration commonlycalled a Long Tom.Clothes? Certainly not modern cam-ouflage. Those men probably wore

denim overalls and a greenor plaid cotton

shirt.

And if the weather was particularly brisk,a loose denim jacket would have com-plemented the outfit. There would havebeen a tattered game vest and floppy felthat as well. And black rubber boots.And they hunted close to home—

along the banks of a local creek or river.No distant travel for the majority ofthese gentlemen. Most probably wentafoot on any given morning beforereturning to the farm for that daily rou-tine. If, however, they did travel and staya day or two, it was to a quiet camp spotbeside a nearby stream. Housing was

t was one of those coin-cidences that happensin order to help youalong from time totime. This coincidencecame to me in the mail.

It was a letter from the EnterpriseWoman’s Club announcing their dedica-tion of a marker at the Enterprise Con-federate Cemetery on the 21st of thismonth. The marker lists the previouslyunknown names of 219 of the soldiersburied there.I don’t know if it’s a coincidence on

the part of the club or if they carefullyplanned it this way, but April of 1862,exactly 150 years ago this year, wouldhave been about the time the first ofthose soldiers was buried in that ceme-tery.This letter coming in when it did was

a coincidence for me. I was planning towrite this column about the arrival ofthe actual fighting of the Civil War inMississippi 150 years ago this month.And the cemetery at Enterprise is abyproduct of the beginning of those bat-tles.The sesquicentennial of the Civil War

is being marked right now, starting withthe firing on Fort Sumter, S.C., in 1861

and pretty much ending with GeneralLee’s surrender in 1865.Mississippi seceded from the Union

right behind South Carolina in Januaryof 1861. And it had been a quiet yearand a few months here since then. Mostof the fighting had been in Virginia withsome exceptions. But in April, 150 yearsago, the war came to Mississippi’sdoorstep with the Battles of Pittsburg

Landing on April 6and Shiloh onApril 7 just acrossthe Tennessee linefrom Corinth. OnApril 8 the Con-federates movedinto Corinth andimmediately startedsending thewounded farthersouth on the

Mobile and Ohio railroad for care andcomfort.Ironically, it was the Mobile and Ohio

Railroad that attracted the Union Armyto that part of the country in the firstplace. The railroad was a strategicweapon in the Civil War. For the firsttime in the history of warfare, entirearmies could be transported from placeto place at the speed of a train instead ofat the speed of marching. The telegraphwas also used extensively during the war.

So destroy-ing telegraphlines anddestroying railroadswas a goal of the oppos-ing forces to impede reinforce-ments from being brought up to join abattle.Corinth was a prized target because

not only did the Mobile and Ohio rail-road run north-south through the town,but it intersected with the Memphis andCharleston railroad in Corinth that raneast-west. Take Corinth and all sorts ofrail traffic could be interrupted in alldirections.But the rails played another role in

troop transport after Shiloh, the removalof the wounded to safe places south-ward. Every town along the tracks as farsouth as Columbus, Meridian andEnterprise took in as many of thewounded as they thought they could.And these weren’t just Confederatewounded but Union, too. All piled intotrains to get help somewhere away fromthe battle to either recover or die. Andmost of them died. As a result, there is astring of Confederate Cemeteries allalong the old railroad route in east Mis-sissippi.

At first, Union soldiers were buriedthere, too. But after the war, the Uniondead were removed to National Ceme-teries like Shiloh and Vicksburg and else-where.So, 150 years ago this month the

anticipated fighting finally made it toMississippi. And at the Battle of Shilohthe dead, wounded and missing discov-ered first hand that war is serious stuff.And Confederate cemeteries came intoexistence in Mississippi.

A monument listing the names of 219 of the dead willbe dedicated April 21 at the Confederate Cemetery atEnterprise. The wounded from the Battle of Shiloh inApril 1862, 150 years ago this year, populate many ofthese kinds of cemeteries in east Mississippi. Photo:Walt Grayson

NEWS BRIEFSWaits receives national honorHobson Waits, long-time CEO of the Electric Power Associations of Mississippi, was recently rec-

ognized for his 37-year career of dedicated service to the association. The National Rural ElectricCooperative Association (NRECA) honored Waits with its 2012 President’s Award.Waits’ leadership was essential to uniting Mississippi’s independent electric power associations, an

effort that took large-scale cooperation and resulted in benefits for the state’s cooperative consumers.He also played a critical role in leading the state’s co-ops’ restoration efforts in the wake of HurricaneKatrina in 2005, which affected service to more than 70 percent of their 740,000 electric meters.“Hobson was a champion for Mississippi’s 26 electric cooperatives throughout his long career. His

work in uniting the state’s electric power associations helped give co-ops political strength, and hiswork led co-ops to overcome many challenges,” said NRECA CEO Glenn English.“Hobson provided strong leadership and was instrumental in educating government leaders on the

important issues facing our cooperative members,” said Michael Callahan, who succeeded Waits asCEO. “His advice was solid and, most of all, trusted. Under his leadership, the statewide associationbecame a strong voice and is recognized as one of the strongest grassroot organizations for the peopleof our state.”Hobson and his wife, Mary Louise, reside

in Brandon.The President’s Award is one of the high-

est honors presented by NRECA, a nationalservice organization that represents morethan 900 private, not-for-profit, consumer-owned electric cooperatives, which provideservice to 42 million people in 47 states.

One out of four people in Mississippi has money on the Unclaimed Property listat the state treasurer’s office. Businesses, organizations and other groups also havemoney in unclaimed property.Treasurer Lynn Fitch says thousands of people phoned in to a special call center

in February, allowing another $1.8 million to go back to taxpayers—in addition tothe more than $3 million Fitch identified and returned her first 45 days in office.Why would you have unclaimed money? The Unclaimed Property Law requires

“holders” such as financial institutions, utility companies, government agencies,retail businesses and insurance companies to deliver money and stock to the statetreasurer’s office after there has been no customer contact for five years. Often theowner moves or forgets the account exists. In some cases, the owner dies and theheirs have no knowledge of the money.There are two ways to see if your name is on the list. Go to

www.treasury.ms.gov/unclaimed or call the treasurer’s office at 601-359-3600.

In this setting, these vigorous andaggressive vines seem to be out of reachfor the ordinary home landscape. Butwisteria vines can actually be used in amore confined space, assuming you arecommitted to keeping the vine in placethrough training and pruning.

Never allow wisteria vines to growrandomly. Consistent pruning will helpcontrol this vine’s vigorous growth andactually promote more flowering eachspring.

Wisterias make great landscape plantsbecause they are hardy and can beextremely long-lived.

If you provide a sturdy trellis or per-gola, this climbing vine can provide ben-eficial summer shade. But be carefulwhere you grow it. The plant climbsusing twining stems that grab hold ofany structure available.

Wisterias can be trained into shrub

Purple and white are the most common wisteria colors, butnurseries also offer selections in pink and blue. Wisterias canbe trained to grow in shrub form or in tree form. Photo: GaryBachman

Also, once planted, wisterias do not liketo have their roots disturbed. They willnot tolerate transplanting, especially iftransplanted after several years in onelocation.

QUESTIONS

ANSWERS

Thismonth’s questionis answered by

our Hancock CountyResidential EnergyRepresentativeClay Sweet.

A:

By Magen HowardNo matter the age of your home, it

could benefit from a private energyinvestigation — also known as an ener-gy audit. Coast Electric offers free homeenergy audits conducted by our energyefficiency experts, but you can get start-ed on your own search to find low-costsolutions that could save money everymonth on your electric bill.To be an energy “private-eye,” ask

yourself a simple question: Does myhome feel drafty and cold in the winter,or stuffy and hot in the summer? If youranswer is yes, then your home probablyexperiences air leakage.To track down where those spots are,

round up the usual suspects — culpritslike damaged seals around doors andwindows. If you see daylight or feel air,then apply caulk and weather strippingto keep outdoor air where it’s supposedto be.But don’t forget spots you might not

immediately think of, like recessed can-ister lights and electrical outlets. Outletinsulation kits can be purchased for aslittle as $2, and you can fix up yourcanister lights with some caulk aroundthe edges.Also look where walls meet the ceil-

ing. Cobwebs mean you’ve got drafts.Next, poke your head into the attic andinspect the crawl space for sufficientinsulation. How much you needdepends on your climate. Check out the

insulation calculator from the OakRidge National Laboratory atwww.ornl.gov/~roofs/Zip/ZipHome.htm.It’s important to remember insulation

won’t do its job well if there’s not aproper air barrier working in tandem.That means all joints and cracks mustbe sealed between your living space andinsulation.Finally, look to your light fixtures.

Compact fluorescent lightbulbs (CFLs)are up to 75 percent more efficient thantraditional incandescent bulbs, andthey’ve come a long way in light quality,design and affordability. You can pur-chase CFLs in a variety of shapes andhues. They cost more upfront, but you’llmake your money back in less than ninemonths and after that, they start savingmoney. Make sure to purchase a CFLthat’s rated by ENERGY STAR, theU.S. Environmental Protection Agency’sprogram that denotes products meetingspecific energy efficiency criteria.ENERGY STAR-rated CFLs will typi-cally last 10 times longer than a tradi-tional incandescent bulb producing thesame amount of light.To learn more about ways to reduce

your electric bill, visitwww.togetherwesave.com or call CoastElectric at 877-769-2372 and ask aboutour free home energy audit program.Sources: EnergySavers.gov, Eastern Ill.Electric Cooperative, EnergyStar.gov

Smart home landscaping can lower your electricbills. Trees on the east and west sides of your homeprovide shade – and reduce your cooling costs –during hot summer months. Shade for your airconditioner can save 10 percent of your coolingcosts. And by adding vegetation to the north side ofyour home, you can reduce winterwinds that trigger high heating costs.Find more ways to save atTogetherWeSave.com.Source: U.S. Department of Energy

The 2012 Electric Power Associations of MississippiYouth Leadership Workshop brought together futureleaders from across Mississippi in an educational andenjoyable atmosphere. At this workshop, some ofMississippi’s brightest high school juniors learn about

leadership develop-ment, future opportu-nities and the impor-tance of making gooddecisions. A total of70 students attendedthe 26th annualthree-day workshop.Teddi Brown of

Gulfport, RayganNecaise of Kiln andJessica Smith ofPicayune attended theworkshop and weresponsored by CoastElectric PowerAssociation.The workshop took

place Feb. 29-March 2in downtown Jackson.The students partici-pated in variousteam-building activi-ties, heard speechesfrom motivationalspeakers, enjoyed abreakfast with their

state legislators and toured the state Capitol. The pur-pose of the workshop is to recognize outstandingyoung people and provide a hands-on, learning expe-rience to better prepare them for a lifetime of leader-ship.Before touring the state Capitol, Senator Chris

McDaniel of Ellisville spoke to the students. Heinformed the youth of the many issues facing stategovernment and the affect it can have on young peo-ple. In addition, he challenged the students andexplained that in order to be an effective leader, youhave to accept change and know when to stand upfor what is right.At the Capitol, the students were able to take a

closer look at state government while visiting theSenate and House Galleries. Students listened tomembers of the House of Representatives discussHouse Bill 888, dealing with charter schools. This wasa unique opportunity for the students to witness leg-islation that could directly affect them.At a leadership luncheon, Commissioner of

Agriculture Cindy Hyde-Smith addressed the students.She congratulated them on being selected to partici-pate in the program and encouraged them to strivefor greatness.“I was so honored to participate in this Youth

Leadership Workshop. I met some of Mississippi’sfinest young people and they are truly the leaders oftomorrow,” said Commissioner Hyde-Smith. “Thisworkshop is a great tool for networking and lettingthese young people determine what their interestsare that will shape their lives. I know these three dayswill be a benchmark in their minds forever.”Hyde-Smith reminded the students the important

role agriculture plays in our state’s economy. “It’simportant that we excite our young people about themany opportunities involved with agriculture and itsrelated activities.”Students participated in activities that pushed

them to work together as a team. “We use the coop-erative business model to demonstrate the impor-tance of working together to accomplish your goals,”said Ron Stewart, statewide program coordinator. Thestudents were divided into small groups and given

assignments. They quickly realized the importance oflistening to others and working together. The smallgroups allowed the students to interact on a morepersonal level while getting to know students fromacross the state.During workshop activities, students were encour-

aged to exercise criticalthinking skills. A Town HallMeeting allowed them todivide into groups and dis-cuss problems and issuesthat are affecting their dailylives. The students alsodeveloped solutions thatcould be implemented tobetter their schools andcommunities.Coast Electric is a proud

sponsor of the program. “Weare very proud to be a partof this youth leadership pro-gram. We know the impor-tance of instilling importantleadership qualities in ouryoung people,” said RobertOcchi, President and CEO ofCoast Electric. “They are ourfuture leaders.”In June, Teddi, Raygan and

Jessica will travel with theyouth group to Washington,D.C. The seven-day trip willinclude visits to all of thepopular monuments andmemorials, as well as meet-ings with Mississippi’s con-gressional delegation duringa visit to Capitol Hill.

Celebrating 75 yearsof Coast Electric

This year, Coast Electric is proud to becelebrating our 75th Anniversary and wewant to take you on a trip down memorylane. Our anniversary isn’t just a celebra-tion for employees – it’s a celebration foryou, our members. Our members are thereason we exist and the reason we striveto meet our mission of providing superiorand reliable service at the lowest possibleprice. From the day the first lines werestrung to today, we want to celebratewhere we began and where we are going.Each month, we will be featuring pho-

tos that highlight our history. Lastmonth, we showed photos that illustrated

what life was like before F.D.R. createdthe Rural Electrification Administration.This month, we are focusing on the

early days of Coast Electric. In 1937,Hancock Electric was busy signing upmembers in Hancock County while GulfCoast Electric was beginning to meet theneeds of members in Harrison County. Amerger in 1939 formed what we knowtoday as Coast Electric, which servesHancock, Harrison and Pearl River coun-ties. The photos featured in this issue arefrom the 1940s, right after themerger.

A display in one of Coast Electric’s offices shows members the benefit ofhaving a modern kitchen.

One of Coast Electric’s first crews. Then and now, safety and providing reliable service for membersare top priority.

A sign in the lobby remindsmembers that Coast Electric isowned by the members itserves. The cooperative busi-ness model is one of the thingsthat has been special aboutCoast Electric for the past 75years. The cooperative doesn’texist to make a profit but toprovide exceptional service tomember-owners.

By Kelly TrapnellNothing has the charm of an

older home on a family farm or acute cottage in a historical down-town district. But cosmetic andstructural upgrades are oftenpackged with the cozy charm.When upgrading your home, a

fresh coat of paint and updated fix-tures may come to mind. But whatabout hiring a professional toupdate the wiring behind a switchplate or outlet? Do you know thehidden dangers of aged wiring inyour home? Don’t take on wiringproblems yourself — electricalupgrades often require a profession-al who knows whatinspections and permits are needed. Hereare a few clues to find out if your home’selectric network needs a professionalswitch.

1. Type of wiring.Modern wiring isinsulated, meaning it is covered in plastic.Older homes may have copper or alu-minum wiring. Copper wiring can work

just as well as modernwiring if it is still in goodcondition and has not beenaltered or improperlyinstalled. However, fire riskincreases in homes withboth cooper and aluminumwiring. Corrosion to alu-minum from copper canlead to loose connectionscausing fires. Use only alu-minum-approved switches,outlets, and other acces-sories if your home has alu-minum wiring.2. Plugs fall out of outlets

easily. Loose plugs are ahigh fire danger. Older out-

lets that have lost their grip need to bereplaced. Luckily this upgrade is afford-able.3. Not enough outlets. The increasing

use of chargers for phones and manyother electronic devices means outlets arein high demand, especially in older homeswhere outlets are not as plentiful. A lackof outlets can result in overuse of exten-sion cords and power strips. Be sure touse quality, 14-gauge or thicker cords thatare approved by UnderwritersLaboratories (UL). Never overload anoutlet. Overloading can cause heat, lead-ing to fire risk. Consider hiring a licensedelectrician to add outlets to your home.4. Danger in wet areas. GFCI (groundfault circuit interrupter) outlets are nowrequired in areas around water like near akitchen or bathroom sink or outdoors.But in older homes, GFCIs may not havebeen installed. It is fairly simple to replaceold receptacles with GFCIs; hire a profes-sional to upgrade outlets near water.Source: This Old House, UnderwritersLaboratories

set that stayed on.I looked at him amazed. “Wow, you

must really be old.”“What’s age got to do with buying a

new TV? Other than the fact that theyhave improved with age. And by theway, there’s not but five years differencein our ages. If I’m old, so are you!”

We walked into Best Buy and wentback to the TV section. I circled the setsand looked at them carefully. When thesalesman came up, I asked him wherethe attractive sets were located.

“Ma’am, this is all we have.”“What about dark oak consoles? Do

those have to be ordered?” I asked.He looked at Mr. Roy and my hus-

band just shook his head.“These look alike. They’re all

trimmed in black,” I said.“Yes, that’s right,” the salesman said.Mr. Roy walked over to a collection

of ugly, blacked-trimmed TVs andmotioned for me to come. “One of thesewill fit in our bedroom,” he said.

“It’s not pretty, nor does it even havea stand to set it on,” I groaned.

The salesman spoke up. “These hangon the wall.”

I looked at him like he was crazy.“You mean like a picture?”

“Yes, see how thin it is. These fit flatagainst the wall.”

I cleared my throat. “I’ll tell you onething, sir, I wouldn’t put that monstrosi-ty on the wall next to my beautiful art-work. It took years for us to collect nicepaintings, and now we’re suppose tohang a black, shiny, flat ‘thing’ right nextto them? Roy, tell him to show us some-thing else.”

Mr. Roy gave me a half grin.“Honey, it’s either this one or nothing.”

I folded.In my once picturesque bedroom,

hanging on the wall next to my favoritePatty Bannister painting, is a thin, black-trimmed television. And one night whenI don’t want to use my brain, I mightturn it on.

re you really sure you wanta TV in our bedroom?”Mr. Roy asked me. He’salso my husband of long-standing.

“It’s been over 20 years since I madethe decision that a TV was a waste oftime in the bed-room, since itwould only beused at night. Iwas probablyright. I’ve readmy Bible muchmore and readoodles of bookssince we banishedthe TV.”

“Then whyhave you changedyour mind?” he said.

“When I was sick in bed for a weekafter our trip to Israel, I didn’t feel likereading, but I felt like listening andopening my eyes occasionally. I didn’tknow what was happening in our area orthe latest on the Republican race for thenomination. I decided then that a televi-sion could entertain me and I wouldn’thave to use my brain.”

That’s when he said, “You’re goingshopping with me this time. Over theyears when we needed a TV you sentme—except for the time you wanted tomatch a console with the furniture inour den.”

“Not true,” I said. “When we gotmarried and you were in the Army, wewent together to buy our first TV. Thetable model cost $160, which in today’smoney would be over a thousand dollars.It was a black-and-white 16-inch. Wepaid it off monthly.”

He laughed. “Yep. We paid $10 amonth. We were thrilled to have a televi-sion set. OK, grab your coat and let’sgo,” he said.

“I sure will. This time we’ll get apretty one for a change.”

As we drove to Mobile, Mr. Roy toldme that when he was growing up veryfew people owned TV sets in Lucedale,so on Saturday nights folks would gatheraround Payne’s Furniture store—it had alarge showcase window with a television
