August 2011 � Today in Mississippi � 3

might be biased, but in my opin-ion, Mississippi’s electric powerassociations are great places towork. And at a time when retire-

ments are on the rise, I wanted to take a mo-ment to share the advantages of working withour team.

We are here to serve our members not onlywith safe, affordable and reliable electricpower, but also with community support andprograms that help you save energy andmoney. Because we make a difference in peo-ple’s lives, those of us who work at an electricpower association in Mississippi tend to be asatisfied bunch.

In general, not-for-profit, consumer-owned electric power associations offer com-petitive salaries and benefits in a time whenmany companies are scaling back. And weoffer a stable work environment. Many em-ployees start here and stay here throughouttheir career. It’s not uncommon for one ofour employees to retire from a career span-ning 30 or even 40 years!

While our lineworkers remain our publicface, it takes many more departments to runthe myriad operations of an electric power as-sociation. On our staff we may have commu-nicators, accountants, billing clerks andkey-accounts representatives who work withour commercial and industrial members.

Some electric power associations employpublic relations professionals, who cultivaterelationships with local, state and nationalopinion leaders and keep them updated on is-sues important to us and the communities weserve.

We also employ information technologyprofessionals, warehouse staff, and stakingtechnicians and engineers, who plot wherenew power lines will be built.

In most cases, the largest group of employ-ees at an electric power association islineworkers, followed by administrative assis-

tants and engineering and operations staff.Anyone who wants a career as a lineworker

can get a good head start in Mississsippi byattending one of the lineman training pro-grams offered at some of the community col-leges.

I strongly encourage young people to con-sider career opportunities within the electricpower association network. Working at a con-sumer-owned electric power association is apleasure, and we’re looking out for our mem-bers by recruiting the best and brightest em-ployees to serve you to the best of ourabilities.

• • •Our thoughts this month are with coastal

and south Mississippi residents who are stillstruggling with their recovery from HurricaneKatrina’s strike on Aug. 29, 2005.

As first responders in natural disasters,electric power association employees standready for quick response to any type of emer-gency situation, day or night. Our emergencyplan proved effective in kick-starting the re-covery from Katrina. We are, however, con-tinually making improvements to ouremergency readiness and response, includingcommunications capabilities.

As hurricane season reaches its peak in thecoming weeks, rest assured your electricpower association is prepared for whatevermay blow our way.

Are you ready? If you don’t already have anemergency plan in place, I encourage you todiscuss it with your family now.

Is a job with an electric co-opin your employment future?

Mississippi is . . .. . . its children first knowing the joy of water and the out-doors through the state’s rivers, creeks and lakes, versus whatis found in concrete and chlorine.

—Timothy C. Lea, Wesson

One of the best things in my life is going to Mississippi tovisit. I used to live there before I moved to Texas when I was5. I often see my cousins and we have fun riding the four-wheeler, Kubota and Gator. We also enjoy hanging out in ourfort....I love going to Camp Shelby where I get to see all theArmy weapons and clothes. Going to Mississippi is so impor-tant to me. I not only get to see family members there, I alsohave many activities to do. I look forward to all the memoriesI make while I’m there.

— Campbell Anderson, age 9, Forney, Texas

Mississippi is a tall, handsome, hazel-eyed cowboy with a per-fect southern drawl that stole this Texas heart some 28 yearsago. It’s a wonderful blue-eyed baby boy that I’ve watchedgrow into a fine young man, right before my eyes. It’s greentrees and fields like you’ve never seen before. Beautiful red-or-ange sunrises reminding me to thank God for the day ahead,and breathtaking blue-violet sunsets to remind me He heardmy prayers. It’s red, white and blue through and through, the20th state in this great union. Mississippi, to this west Texasgirl, is home!

— Cherry Pruitt Head, Wesson

By Debbie StringerA leadership-development program that

has benefited more than 1,000 Mississippistudents turns 25 this year, and participantssay its lessons have had a lasting impact ontheir lives.

The Electric Power Associations of Missis-sippi Youth Leadership Program is a fun yetintensive educational experience designed forhigh school juniors. The agenda focuses onbuilding leadership skills, encouraging inter-est in governmental affairs, teaching the co-operative form of electric utility andfostering interaction among students fromcommunities throughout the state and na-tion.

The program has two main components:the three-day Youth Leadership Workshop inJackson and the week-long Washington,D.C., Youth Tour.

At the workshop each March, participantsmeet state officials and legislators, tour thestate Capitol, hear motivational speakers andengage in team-building exercises.

In June, the students fly to Washington tojoin the national Youth Tour. Their packeditinerary includes a visit to the U.S. Capitolwhere they meet their respectiveCongressmen, tours of majormemorials and museums,and social activities withmore than 1,450 other highschool juniors from 44states.

The national Youth Tourhas hosted more than 40,000high school students from acrossthe nation each June since the late1950s.

“Our Youth Leadership Program is rootedin our desire to help young people,” said RonStewart, Electric Power Associations of Mis-sissippi senior vice president and coordinatorof the program for the past 21 years.

“Yes, we want them to learn about ourunique business, but most importantly, wewant them to understand the challenges andopportunities in life that lie ahead of them,”Stewart said.

“We challenge each participant to searchhis or her own life first for strengths and

weaknesses, and thenwe work with themto enhance theirleadership skills andmotivate them tomake a difference,today and in the fu-

ture.”Students earn the

free trips through localcompetitions sponsored by

their electric power associations.During the workshop in Jackson, students

compete to become Mississippi’s delegate tothe National Rural Electric Cooperative As-sociation’s (NRECA) Youth LeadershipCouncil (YLC). The delegate serves a one-

year term, attends a summer LeadershipConference in Washington, D.C., and takespart in the annual meetings of the ElectricPower Associations of Mississippi andNRECA.

Mississippi’s delegate also competes for theopportunity to be the national spokespersonfor the YLC. Mississippi’s Youth LeadershipProgram so far has produced two nationalYLC spokespersons, Moriah Mozingo (in1998), formerly of Poplarville, and KentFord (in 2005), formerly of Lamar County.

“I think that without my experience in theprogram, I very likely would not be wheream I today, working on behalf of the UnitedNations,” said Ford, who is executive assis-tant to the vice president for Global Partner-ships at the United Nations Foundation, inWashington, D.C.

“The program helped me understand theneed to give back and to empower commu-nities through responsible practices—some-thing that lies at the heart of the co-op spirit.But also broadened my horizons to a much

larger understanding of community,” Fordsaid. “The experience is unique and truly agreat testament to [electric] co-ops’ commit-ment to youth and building communities.”

Ford continues his involvement in theprogram by speaking to current YLC mem-bers at their annual meeting in Washington.

“I know how much I valued the opportunitywhen I was first a part of the program to talkwith others who had been in the same placeand gone on to live and work in D.C. I hopethat now I am able to provide a bit of thatexperience to today’s students.”

“I think that without my experience inthe program, I very likely would not bewhere am I today, working on behalf ofthe United Nations.”

-Kent Ford

Kent Ford, national spokesperson for the Youth Leadership Council for 2005-2006, speaks at the 2006 National Rural Electric Cooperative Association AnnualMeet-ing, in Orlando, Fla. Ford, who grew up in Lamar County, nowworks inWashington, D.C. for the United Nations Foundation.


By Debbie StringerToday in Mississippi asked a few Youth Leadership

Program alumni to help commemorate the 25th an-niversary of the program by reflecting on ways theprogram has affected their lives.

Nic Lott, a 1996 participant from Taylorsville, saidthe program helped open his mind to new possibili-ties.

“I recall the program being one of the very firsttimes it occurred to me that I could do more, that alittle country boy like me could come from a humbleupbringing and still accomplish a lot of good things,”he said.

“This is an extraordinary program that allowsyouth to go beyond their familiar comfort zones andexplore new horizons,” said Lott, who once aspired tobecome a pediatrician. “The program actually helpedput me on a different path to explore my personal ca-pabilities and my interest in public service.”

Lott now serves in Gov. Haley Barbour’s adminis-tration as director of special compliance projects for

renewal recovery. Though still a young man, he has along record of leadership and achievement, includinghis election as the first African-American student bodypresident at the University of Mississippi. An alumnusof the U.S. Senate’s African-American LeadershipSummit, he was selected for Who’s Who in Black Mis-sissippi 2010.

Stevie Cantrell, a 2008 participant from Biloxi, saidthe program inspired her educational choices. “The[Washington] trip and overall program are honestlywhat sparked my interest in the fields I am now study-ing, a double major in economics and public manage-ment,” she said.

Beginning this fall atStewpot Ministries in Jack-son, Cantrell will teach aprogram she developed tohelp homeless and low-in-come adults learn basic busi-ness tasks, includingpersonal finance, and otherinformation. She is also in-volved in Students in FreeEnterprise, a campus organi-zation whose mission is

based on the idea that free enterprise is the key to solv-ing poverty.

“Without the building blocks of leadership, one cannever fully reach their potential, and without the YLprogram, I would never have received these skills,”Cantrell said.

She plans to continue her economic studies nextspring at the University of Liechtenstein. “I do nothave a specific career in mind, but I do know that Iwill strive to be a successful and independent careerwoman, an idea that the Youth Leadership Programfirst inspired me to pursue.”

Ladd Pulliam, a 1999 participant who served asMississippi’s delegate to NRECA’s Youth LeadershipCouncil, said the program motivated him not only toexcel in life, “but to try my best to make sure that

‘Anextraordinaryprogram’Youth Leadership’s lessons influence alumni’s educational, career choices

Stewart said the overall success of theYouth Leadership Program is due to thecommitment of electric power associations’staff who coordinate the program locally.“They work hard to promote leadership andencourage students to apply for the pro-gram,” he said.

Electric power association personnel con-tinue to support Youth Leadership studentslong after their participation in the programends. “We stay connected with the studentsand offer our assistance as they further their

education, choose ca-reer paths and be-come activelyinvolved in society,”Stewart said.

“The Youth Lead-ership Program is alife-changing eventfor the students whoparticipate in it,”

said Penny McAlpin, manager of marketingand communications at Southern Pine Elec-

tric Power Association, in Taylorsville.“In the 25 years Southern Pine has been

involved with the program, we’ve seen ourstudents go on to become doctors, lawyersand politicians, and many of them have toldus that this program paved the way for theirfuture. This program opened their eyes to aworld of possibilities,” McAlpin said.

Lester Carpenter of Burnsville, a state leg-islator representing Alcorn and Tishomingocounties, attended the 1987 Youth Leader-ship Program. “I feel that the Youth Leader-

ship Program did influence my decision inmy career choice,” Carpenter said. “I had al-ways wanted to work in the public sector tohelp people and make a difference in theirlives.

“Looking back, I remember having a greattime and learning more about the way oursystem of government works. I will alwayscherish those memories, especially now as Iwatch the groups attend the program inJackson as I serve in the Mississippi Houseof Representatives,” Carpenter said.

1996 Youth Leadership Pro-gramparticipant Nic Lott, pic-tured at the state Capitol, saysthe programhelped inspire hiscareer interest in public service.

were still several families, a bunch of oldhomes, the old school and a couple ofold store buildings there at that time.

I go back every now and then to seewhat’s become of Rodney. It’s sad to seehow time always winds things down.

Every time I go back, more ofthe old houses have either beenmoved away or torn down.And the Presbyterian churchbuilding keeps fading back towhat it must have looked likeprior to its restoration.

Then the 2011 MississippiRiver flood hit. Every time theMississippi River rises, it creepsback and turns Rodney into ariver town again. Only in thisflood Rodney wasn’t just on the

river, much of it was in the river.We flew over Rodney in the WLBT

helicopter a few days before the height ofthe flood, and I saw water already climb-ing up the steps of the Presbyterianchurch. My fear was that if water evergot inside and warped the floor andmildewed the walls, the building mightnever be fixed again.

Well finally, the other day Miz Jo andI got the chance to drive down to Rod-ney to see what the flood had done. Theold Rodney Baptist church building hadwater up to about the top of the door.But it was a given that the Baptist build-ing would flood because it sits in the lowarea of town. The mud line on the Pres-byterian building higher on the bluff wasa close call, judging from the outside.

Once inside the building, we were un-sure at first whether the water had comein, because of all of the decades of dirton the floor. But no boards were warpedand there was no mold on the walls. It

had barely escaped the water.So the old church is still salvageable.

Hopefully, the saving of our historicbuildings is not something else we passon to our grandchildren.

guess we have some sto-ries to tell our grandkidsnow about the recordflood on the MississippiRiver and a deep

drought going on at the same time.With the levees we have

nowadays, our stories aren’tnearly as harrowing as thetales passed along from the1927 flood. My uncle stayedin the second story of hishouse on North Broadway inGreenville in ‘27. He wasworking underneath a ModelA parked on the levee whenPresident Herbert Hooverwalked past on Hoover’s bigflood tour. My uncle said hedisliked the administration so much hedidn’t even bother to get out from underthe car to see what the man looked like.

By and large, it was only those placesnot protected by the levees that caughtwater this time. Lots of deer camps onthe river and all of those houses onUpper Lake Ferguson in Greenville, forexample. And low-lying areas aroundVicksburg and Natchez. Fort Adams.And just about the entire town of Rod-ney.

Rodney was an 1800s MississippiRiver port situated between—and aboutas important as—Natchez and Vicks-burg. But the Mississippi wandered awayto the west, and a river port without ariver isn’t much use. So the people slowlyfiltered away from Rodney, leaving itpretty much just a ghost town by the endof the 1900s.

My first experience there was whileworking on a story about the Presbyte-rian church’s 1990 refurbishing. There

“I have been trying to juggle college, asocial life and my new duty to the studentsand community of my hometown; how-ever, it seems to be working out well. I amexcited to be able to do a public service atsuch a young age,”Huffman said.

Magee nativeJoey Smith, a grad-uate of the U.S. AirForce Academy andan Air Force pilot,recalled one of theimportant lessonshe learned in theprogram: “Beforeyou can lead ateam, you must first lead yourself,” he saidin an email interview during a recent de-ployment. “You do this by intently listen-ing to other people’s ideas, having a clearand defined goal, and, most importantly,being a person of character. These are prin-ciples that the Youth Leadership Programsolidified during a formative time of mylife.”

Smith said the program helped focushim on his goal of attending the Air ForceAcademy. “It even helped me get ac-cepted,” he said, referring to a letter of rec-ommendation provided by Ron Stewart,

Youth Leadership Program coordinator forthe Electric Power Associations of Missis-

sippi.The program

also touchedSmith’s life in a farmore personal way.“The Washingtontrip was amazing,and I will alwaysremember howwonderful it was.However, the thingthat stands out

most about the Youth Leadership experi-ence is my sweet wife, Elizabeth.”

“We got to know each other over the[2002] leadership conference in Jackson,and our friendship continued to grow overthe Washington, D.C., trip,” said ElizabethSanford Smith, a stay-at-home mom livingin Bonaire, Ga.

After their meeting at the Youth Leader-ship Workshop, she and Smith kept intouch while he attended the U.S. Air ForceAcademy and she studied at the University

of Mississippi.“At the end of our senior year in college,

we knew we were meant to be somethingmore than friends,” Elizabeth Smith said.

“Joey and I are so blessed, and we are sothankful for the opportunities that wereprovided for us because of the EPAs of Mis-sissippi,” she added.

“We have a 14-month-old, Lucy, and Ican’t wait to see them both after I returnfrom my deployment,” Smith said. “So,personally and professionally, the YouthLeadership program has greatly impactedmy life!”

“It was a wonderful vacation and greatlearning experience that I still tell peopleabout over 10 years later,” said Justina Mer-win Lee, a 1998 participant from Kiln.

Victoria White, of Olive Branch, a 1997participant and a partner in a Memphis-based business, said, “To this day I use somany skills I learned from the YLP. I am sohappy to know this program is still goingstrong and providing such a blessing to myhome state’s young people.”

‘Anextraordinaryprogram’

Joey and Elizabeth Smith, with daughter Lucy, formed a friendship during the Youth Leadership Programthat eventually led to theirmarriage. A graduate of the U.S. Air Force Academy, he is an E-8 Joint STARS pilot;she is a graduate of the University ofMississippi and a stay-at-homemom.

verybody needs a gooddog! I admit there is lit-tle or no objectivitypresent in that procla-mation. It is a purely

subjective viewpoint coming from onewho can’t imagine life minus a dog. Butthen some qualifying is in order. Theremay be physical or geographic limita-tions that preclude dog ownership. Suchthings are legitimate and best heeded.Those aside, however, I hold firm:Everybody needs a good dog.

As many of you, I have had exposureto a wide assortment of good dogs.Some were mine; others belonged tofriends. Just the same, they were all gooddogs. And my life is richer from havingexperienced them. Contrary to what

may seem logical, I was always thelearner rather than the teacher. It was thedogs who possessed the greater wis-dom—perhaps in an odd canine fashion,but wisdom just the same.

I remember well those first two thatwere mine, chosen specifically for me.Beagles they were, Herman and Homer.I got them as pups when I was a pup,and they saw me through the first twoyears of college. Homer was the come-dian. Always ready to explore anythingthat resembled fun, he was not the dedi-cated rabbit hunter I had hoped hewould be. Oh, he would chase a rabbit,but he was also willing to leave a trackcompletely to check out a terrapin orwatch a squirrel scurry up an oak. Hetaught me how to see life as an adven-ture.

Herman, on the other hand, was fullydedicated to the task of rabbit hunting.He didn’t knowquit, and this ledhim to be held inhigh esteem amongmy hunting com-panions. Problemwas, he neverwanted to abandonthe woods.

One afternoonlate, Herman wasoff in the distanceand refused to come when called. Wehad to leave for home, and there was nochoice but to go without Herman. I laidmy hunting jacket on the ground andheaded in, concern for this little doghaunting me. The next morning I re-

turned tothe jacket andthere was Her-man, drawn there bymy scent on the ragged coat.It was as if he knew I would come. Hetaught me trust.

There was Barlow, a curr that be-longed to my friend Neal. Barlow was asquirrel dog, the best I have ever seen.He would hunt for anyone, but he wasdevoted to Neal. Barlow showed mewhat true loyalty was.

There was White. We rescued herfrom a road ditch, along with her sister,Honey. We raised the two on a bottleand both became truly grand compan-ions.

Once I was in a bitter episode withlife’s struggles. All seemed bleak; no endin despair could be seen. I walked intomy backyard in search of any comfort Icould find in the natural world andgazed upward. The gift White gave came

subtly. I became aware of her presenceand the gentle licking on one of myhands, hands that hung limp from a bro-ken spirit. I looked down at her and pat-ted her head. The look she gave was oneof understanding, perhaps more under-standing than I could grasp. It was as ifshe was telling me that all would be well.

And it was—all was well in time. Thedespair, though real at the moment, wasshort lived, probably even ill entertained.Patience was the lesson learned.

And let’s not forget unconditionallove. Even when we don’t deserve it, dogsgive it unconditionally. They love us intheir own unique dog ways. We woulddo well to practice such.

A sad commentary is to see dogs disre-garded and thrown away, left to an oftenmerciless world. This should not be. Noone or no thing should be treated in thatmanner. But it happens. Tragic, it is. Per-haps you should adopt one of the forgot-ten. It could change your life. Foreverybody needs a good dog.

Before you fire up that power toolfor your next do-it-yourself home proj-ect, remember that these electricaldevices must be treated with care. Eventhough many tools are equipped withsafety mechanisms, it’s still importantto heed precautions. Keep in mindthese tips from the U.S. OccupationalSafety & Health Administration(OSHA) when using power tools:• Do not carry tools by their cords.• Pull the cord out of the outlet by

the plug, not by pulling on the cord.

• Do not use in a wet or damp jobsite unless the tool is specificallyapproved for those conditions. Storethem in a dry place when not beingused.• While carrying a tool, do not touch

the switch or trigger that operates it toavoid accidental starts.• Ensure your work area is well-lit.• Unplug tools when cleaning or fix-

ing, while changing other parts of thetool such as blades or bits, and whennot in use.

• Ensure that allextension cords arenot worn or frayed.• Wear proper

clothing – no ties,jewelry or other looseitems that could getcaught.

“Whether you’reon the job or working at home, stayingsafe around power tools is a must,”said Keith Myatt, safety coordinatorfor Monroe County Electric Power

Association. “Following a few rulescould mean the difference between asuccessful project and an accident.”

Treat power toolswith extra care

It’s hot this summer. That meansyour air conditioning system isworking hard to keep you comfort-

able. Here’s a tip from MonroeElectric Power Association

that can help your cool-ing system oper-

ate more efficiently—and save youmoney.

Change your air filter regularly. Itonly takes a couple of minutes tochange the air filter in your heat-ing/cooling system. It’s simple and easy.Changing your filter every month can

save you $82 a year.But that’s not all you can save. A

dirty air filter makes your systemwork harder to keep you cool,which wastes energy. Changingyour air filter regularly helps toensure efficient operation andkeep your electricity bill in check.What’s more, a dirty air filterallows dust and dirt to build upin your system. Changing yourair filter regularly can reduce theneed for costly maintenance and

prevent damage to your system.And when winter arrives, it’s just as

important to change your air filter reg-ularly. Your heating system needs towork as efficiently as possible to keepyou warm, and a clean air filter helps itdo that.

Experts recommend turning yoursystem off before changing the air fil-ter. Make sure that the arrow on thefilter—which indicates the direction ofthe airflow—is pointing toward theblower motor. When you’ve made thechange, turn your system back on. Tosave time, it’s a good idea to keep acouple of spare filters on hand.

Change air filterto save money and energy

Facts aboutmercury in CFLsAds and packaging materials for com-

pact fluorescent lightbulbs (CFLs) statethat they use much less energy and lastmuch longer than standard incandescentbulbs. This is true, however, if you readthe fine print on the packaging or findthe notice on the base of each bulb,you’ll see that it contains mercury.

While that may raise an alarm in yourmind, there’s no need to worry. Theamount of mercury inside the glass tubesof an average CFL is miniscule—aboutthe equivalent of the tip of a ballpointpen––and it’s especially small when com-pared to other items you may havearound your home. The amount of mer-cury in a CFL runs about 4-5 milligrams(mg), while a glass fever thermometercontains 500 mg, and an old-style ther-mostat could contain up to 3,000 mg.CFLs are safe to handle and use in yourhome, and they release no mercury whenin operation. Even if you break a CFL,the amount of mercury that may becomeairborne poses a very low risk of expo-sure, says ENERGY STAR. (To preventbreakage, carefully unpack a CFL, andalways screw and unscrew the bulb by itsbase.) When CFLs burn out or break,the best course of action is to recyclethem.

CFLs fall into the U.S. EnvironmentalProtection Agency (EPA) category ofHousehold Hazardous Waste (HHW),but there’s no federal (or Mississippi)

requirement that the bulbs be recycled.There are several HHW recycling centersin our state that accept CFLs. Somehardware stores and other retailers mayhave CFL recycling buckets on hand.And you may be able to dispose of CFLsduring your community’s annual haz-ardous waste collection event.

To find out if there’s a facility or storenear you that accepts CFLs, go to theEarth 911 website at www.earth911.org,or call 800-CLEANUP. Be sure to callthe facility or store that’s listed beforeyou make the trip, to ensure that itallows homeowners or apartmentdwellers to drop off CFLs.

If one of these recycling options is notavailable to you, you may put burnedout or broken CFLs with your regulartrash—but in no case should you burnor incinerate them. Here’s what EPA saysabout properly disposing of CFLs.• Burned-out CFLs: Put the CFL in a

sealed plastic bag, and place it with yourregular trash.• Broken CFLs: If you break a CFL in

your home, open nearby windows todisperse any vapor that may escape, andcarefully sweep up the glass shards.(Don’t use your hands!) Wipe the areawith a damp paper towel to removeglass fragments; don’t use a vacuumcleaner. Put the fragments, the base ofthe bulb, and the paper towel in a sealedplastic bag, and place it with your

regular trash.CFLs are a great idea. They’ll help youcut your utility bills, and they’ll helpreduce the need for electricity produc-

tion. However, to create the maximumbenefit for the environment, recyclingburned-out and broken CFLs makessense.

Here are seven ways you cansave water in your home:• Replace your old toilets. If your toi-

let is from 1992 or earlier, it probablyuses 3.5 gallons of water for everyflush. Newer models use as little as onegallon. Those that use less than 1.28gallons per flush—60 percent less thanyour older toilet—can save a family offour more than $90 a year on the waterbill.• Fix leaky faucets. One drip per sec-

ond can waste more than 3,000 gallonsof water each year. Even if you don’t seea leak, check your water meter twiceover two hours. If the two readingsdon’t match, you probably have a leak.• Stop your toilet from running. A

leaky toilet can waste about 200 gallonsof water every day. Here’s how to tell ifit’s leaking: Place a drop of food color-ing in the tank. If the color shows upin the water in the bowl before youflush, you have a leak.• Buy a high-efficiency washing

machine. The average washing machineuses about 41 gallons of water per load,while high-efficiency models need lessthan 28 gallons. To save even more, runthe washer only when it’s full.• Take a shower. It takes 70 gallons of

water to fill a bathtub, but you’ll onlyuse 10 to 25 gallons during a five-minute shower.• Turn off the faucet while you

brush your teeth. Two gallons of water

flow out of a faucet every minute it’sturned on. That’s water down the drainif you’re letting it run while you brushyour teeth. You could save 240 gallonsof water a month if you turn off thetap while brushing your teeth in themorning and at bedtime.• Switch to “drip” irrigation. If you’re

running a sprinkler system to wateryour lawn, about half of the water itsprays is “watering” your patio, drive-way or street. A drip irrigation system,which literally drips water right on theplant that needs it, uses between 20percent and 50 percent less water. Youcould save more than 2,000 gallons ofwater over the drip irrigation system’slifetime.

Saving water can save you energy

The less water you use, the lessenergy is required to get that waterto your home. If it’s hot water you’resaving, you also could see a dent inthe water-heating portion of yourenergy bill.

want to go out and buy one? Or several?A plant with these require-

It thrives under a high heatload in the summer, in areas with west-ern exposure or between strips of con-crete around sidewalks and driveways.When agastache’s foliage is disturbed, itreleases the heady fragrance of licoricemint.

A selection that is certainly landscape-worthy is Golden Jubilee, an All-Amer-ica Selections winner in 2003. Thisplant has gorgeous, serrated, chartreuseleaves and a symmetrical branchinghabit. It is topped by dense flower spikesof deep lavender-blue from late springthrough late summer and into the fall.

Fifty-six of Mississippi’s finest highschool juniors spent part of their sum-mer vacation exploring the nation’s capi-tal and making new friends, courtesy oftheir electric power association.

As participants in the 25th annualElectric Power Associations of Missis-sippi Youth Tour, the students visitedmany of Washington’s most significanthistoric and cultural sites during theweek-long trip. They also took part inspecial events with more than 1,450other Youth Tour participants fromother states.

A highlight was a visit to the U.S.Capitol, where Rep. Gregg Harper tookthe Mississippi students to the floor ofthe U.S. House of Representatives be-fore the Congressmen convened. Eachstudent also had the opportunity tomeet his or her Congressman.

“It has been such a blessing to be apart of this amazing program,” said par-ticipant Daulton Newman of Eupora.“It has been a rewarding experience thatI will forever remember.”

Newman was selected during theYouth Leadership Workshop in Marchto represent Mississippi on the nationalYouth Leadership Council. The work-shop and Youth Tour are components ofthe Electric Power Associations of Mis-

sissippi Youth Leadership Program. Par-ticipants are chosen through a competi-tive process sponsored by their electricpower association.

“Our program encourages young peo-ple to make a positive difference in theirschools and communities. We challengethem to not wait to be leaders but usetheir skills to influence others today,”said Ron Stewart, senior vice presidentof the Electric Power Associations ofMississippi. “In order to do this, theyneed proper training. This program be-lieves the leadership process begins bystrengthening individual leadershipskills.”

Stewart, statewide coordinator for theprogram, said the program was estab-lished to transform lives and to equipyoung people to make good choices andtake advantage of opportunities.

to work off some of thepounds I’d gained. (Mykitchen is open around theclock for grandchildren. AndI’m a taster.) My workout was thefastest in history. I stepped on themachine, turned it on and—flip!—itthrew me off like a wild bronco. Theinjury wasn’t too serious. I could walknormally after three weeks.

When Hunter came back the nextbirthday we had a talk about grand-mothers who couldn’t run as fast as theirgrandsons.

During the visit he borrowed Pops’tools to construct a walkway across aditch in our woods. Actually a gully. Webragged on his construction but passedon his invitation to try it out.

After his visit, I went downstairs torun on the treadmill. The default was seton Manual. If I shoved my legs, the rub-ber runway would eventually budge afew inches. Pops’ tools had been put touse once again.

Through the years Hunter built manymodern constructions: a hideout usingyards and yards of canvas tarp, and secrethuts using a variety of materials he calleddiscarded spacecraft supplies.

The tarp construction was located inthe middle of a long row of grown crepe

hat’s what people toldus.

I’m impressed if youhave a grandson orgranddaughter who can

help you with your smartphone andcomputer.

I’m also impressed that mine, Hunterand Lealand, can handle their technolog-ical paraphernalia as if it were their per-sonal creation.

That’s why I’m reluctant to expose mygrandson’s flaws that systematically showup at our house. But you know me; mylife is an open book.

The ongoing damage began years agowith our treadmill. Hunter has alwaysvisited during his birthday week, July 5.He had just turned 7 when he discov-ered my new machine downstairs. Iknew from the sound echoing upthrough the floor that he was runninglike an Olympic track champion. Muchfaster than the treadmill’s owners daredto run. What I didn’t know was that ourmachine had a default setting.

After his visit, I visited my treadmill

Tmyrtles. A discov-ery I made too late. When one of thenurtured flowering shrubs disrupted hisarchitectural design, he sawed its sturdytrunk down. My once-beautiful crepesresembled a helicopter’s view of destruc-

tion after a majorhurricane.

Hunter didn’tbuild anything lastsummer; hebrought his girl-friend to visit usand they stayed inthe pool most ofthe time. He did-n’t fix, build orsaw.

“He’s growing up,” I told Pops.This July Hunter came in his car, and

a few days later our daughter and son-in-law arrived. Since Hunter’s a whiz on hiscomputer and iPhone, we asked for help.Pops and I wanted to learn more about

Facebook and a dozenother things. So when Babette and Treyheaded back to Tupelo, Hunter got busy.He taught us new tricks. Like scanningprice tags with the cell phone to com-pare prices. And how to find our phoneswhen we misplaced them, which is everyday.

We enjoyed his yearly visit, but did heleave unseen damage in his wake? Aboutdark, Pops decided to contact a friendon his cell phone. I’m thankful Hunterwasn’t around. My normally calm hus-band discovered that everything in hiscomputer email for the past five yearshad been downloaded into his iPhonecontact list. He scrolled through hun-dreds of regular and junk emails, but hecouldn’t find his familiar list of friends.And to make matters worse, Pops doesn’tuse email on his iPhone. Even worse, ourgrandson had installed apps that werenot free.

The next day my stressed, no-longer-calm husband drove to the Mobile storewhere he’d bought the phone.

“AT&T will fix it,” he told me as heleft.

No, they didn’t. They couldn’t!Hunter had changed all the phone’s set-tings. Only one thing to do, the expertsinformed him: “Buy a new phone, ordelete emails one at a time—but they’relikely to reappear.”

An incomprehensible task.Oh, did I mention that Hunter was

22 on his birthday? As for next year’sbirthday, we’ll insist he bring his girl-friend.
