time to make sure they receive the required immunizations for school attendance. ‘‘Vaccines are critical protection for our own children and help keep other kids around them safe from many diseases,’’ said TDH Commissioner John Dreyzehner, MD, MPH. “The measles outbreak we just emerged from in Memphis should serve as a vivid wake-up call and remind us how lucky we are to have vaccines that protect us. Please make sure you and yours have the vaccines you need.â€? In Tennessee, children enrolling in school for the first time and all children going into seventh grade must provide schools with a state immunization certificate before classes start as proof they have had all the immunizations  necessary to protect them and their classmates from serious vaccinepreventable diseases. ‘‘Immunizations will keep children from getting sick and spreading infections to other students, so it’s very important that each child receives the required and recommended vaccinations now for a healthy start to the school  year,’’ said Kelly Moore, MD, MPH, director of the Tennessee Immunization Program.’’ Â
BOONEVILLE — Families with children enter-
ing kindergarten through sixth grade can get help getting their students ready for school at the Baptist Memorial Hospital Back to School Health Fair from 9 a.m. until noon on Saturday, July 23. For the fourth year, Baptist and United Way have partnered to provide backpacks and school supplies for students entering kindergarten through sixth grade. Baptist has held the Back to School Health Fair for several years, providing health screenings, activities and supplies for students in the Booneville area. When United Way wanted to expand their backpack giveaway into Prentiss County, the two organizations joined their resources, and the partnership has allowed both groups to reach more students. The Back to School Health Fair is hosted at the Baptist Memorial Hospital in Booneville. All activities and giveaways are free and offered on a first-come, first-served basis while supplies last. To receive a backpack, each student must be present and entering kindergarten through sixth grade. Students from any school district are welcome and encouraged to attend, even if they reside outside of Prentiss County. There are no requirements for income or residency and no identifying information is required. United Way is still ac-

Rankin Co. Death of prisoner probed as homicide RANKIN COUNTY — The weekend death of an inmate at Central Mississippi Correctional Facility in Rankin County is being treated as a homicide, according to The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal. Correctional officers found Michael D. Riddle, 29, of Guntown, unconscious in his cell while conducting security checks at 7:22 p.m. Saturday. The preliminary results of an autopsy completed Tuesday indicate that Riddle was the victim of foul play. His death is expected to be ruled a homicide by the medical examiner. Riddle was in prison for residential burglary larceny and armed robbery in Lee County. He received a total of 20 years to serve, with three years’ probation, to follow on the burglary conviction. He was sentenced on June 23, 2010. In the summer of 2005, just a month after he turned 18, Riddle was charged with two counts of aggravated
assault and burglary following a Sunday night incident that included two girls being doused with gasoline. “That girl punched me in the chest,â€? Riddle said as he stood before Justice Court Judge Pat Carr during his initial court appearance. “I poured gas on the little one. I didn’t set her on fire.â€? No one has been charged in Riddle’s death, and no further information is being released at this time because of the ongoing investigation. Â
