Prentiss grant Restaurant canisters assist spurs economic cancer patient with costs development
Today in history Today is Friday, Feb. 28, the 59th day of 2014. There are 306 days left in the year. Â
Today’s Highlight in History: On Feb. 28, 2013, Benedict XVI became the first pope in 600 years to resign, ending an eight-year pontificate shaped by struggles to move the Catholic Church past sex abuse scandals and to reawaken Christianity in an indifferent world. Â
On this date: In 1844, a 12-inch gun aboard the USS Princeton exploded as the ship was sailing on the Potomac River, killing Secretary of State Abel P. Upshur, Navy Secretary Thomas W. Gilmer and several others. In 1861, the Territory of Colorado was organized. In 1911, President William Howard Taft nominated William H. Lewis to be the first black Assistant Attorney General of the United States. In 1942, the heavy cruiser USS Houston and the Australian light cruiser HMAS Perth were attacked by Japanese forces during the World War II Battle of Sunda Strait; both were sunk shortly after midnight. In 1953, scientists James D. Watson and Francis H.C. Crick announced they had discovered the double-helix structure of DNA. In 1972, President Richard M. Nixon and Chinese Premier Zhou Enlai issued the Shanghai Communique, which called for normalizing relations between their countries, at the conclusion of Nixon’s historic visit to China. In 1993, a gun battle erupted at a religious compound near Waco, Texas, when Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms agents tried to arrest Branch Davidian leader David Koresh on weapons charges; four agents and six Davidians were killed as a 51day standoff began.
BOONEVILLE — A recent grant is the latest part of efforts by the Prentiss County Development Association to “Prepare Prentiss County for Progress�. The Mississippi Development Authority has announced the approval of an approximately $19,000 Site Development Grant for a series of studies and a small amount of site preparation work at a site in the main Prentiss County Industrial Park just off of Veterans Drive. PCDA Executive Director Leon Hays said the grant is the most recent in a series of grant approvals helping fund the continuing effort to position Prentiss County for success in recruiting industry – an effort he terms “Preparing Prentiss County for Progress�. The funds from MDA will be matched by the same amount
from PCDA for a total of $38,000 to conduct an environmental assessment, a wetland delineation study and a cultural resource study as well as performing some stump removal and grading work at the site. PCDA holds a fiveyear option to purchase on the site owned by local businessman and developer James Bethay. The property owner has already performed some work himself to prepare the site for potential industry including clearing the trees on a large segment. Hays said having this type of work already complete on a site is key to grabbing the attention of industrial developers. Industries are working on faster timetables than ever and are searching for sites that will require the minimum amount of preparation work before being ready to build on.

Ex-teacher claims discrimination Associated Press
JACKSON — A Richland High School teacher who showed an R-rated film to students and later was forced to resign has filed a federal complaint alleging discrimination. Mary Porter filed the charge against the Rankin County School District through the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. While not a lawsuit, her complaint alleges violation of law, The ClarionLedger reported.
Last week we noted that the Word of God distinguishes between works of human merit and works of God-the latter being excluded and the former being included in any human effort to “work out your own salvation with fear and trembling� (Philippians 2:12). Simply put, works of God include anything and everything that God Himself requires of us in order to be saved from our sins. These works include faith, repentance, and baptism. “But you’re teaching salvation by works if you say I have to baptized to be saved!� someone responds. Dear reader, it is the Lord’s plan of salvation, not mind. And I would remind you that even if you say that a person is saved at the very moment they believe, you are also teaching salvation by works since faith is a work of God. When Jesus was asked, “What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?� He responded, “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He Sent� (John 6:28-29). Let me be so bold to say that one has not truly “accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior� until he accepts and obeys the Lord’s terms of forgiveness, which includes more than a mental or a verbal response. Consider the following: (1) Hearing the Lord is a human response (WORK) He requires of us prior to our forgiveness (John 8:47); (2) Believing is human response (WORK) He requires of us prior to our forgiveness (Romans 10:17; John 8:24); (3) Confession is a human response (WORK) He requires of us prior to our forgiveness (Romans10:9-10; Matthew 10:32); (4) Repentance is a human response (WORK) He requires of us prior to our forgiveness (Luke 13:3,5; Acts 17:3031); (5) And yes, baptism is a human response (WORK) He requires of us prior to our forgiveness (Mark 16:16; Acts 2:38). Pardon the tedious repetition of each phrase, but these are the LORD’S TERMS - not mine, not yours, not the church’s, but the LORD’S!

Porter, an English teacher, said principal Richard Sutton gave her the choice of resigning or being fired days after she showed the movie “Dolan’s Cadillac� to her 10th-grade students. She challenges the procedure. The district, in a statement after Porter’s filing,
said it “does not discriminate on the basis of sex, race, religion, age, handicap, national origin or veteran status.� The district had said Porter resigned voluntarily while administrators were investigating after a parent of one of the students who saw the movie complained.
