Dear Editor,
As we have settled back into our new normal following the winter storm several weeks ago, I continue to reflect on what those days revealed about our hospital and our community. What stands out most is not the ice or the uncertainty—it is the extraordinary strength of our people.
At Highland Hills Medical Center, what I witnessed during those days was nothing short of remarkable. Employees walked to work when they could not drive. Others were transported by friends, family, and first responders.

There is a photo and story on Page One of today’s Tate Record that shows part of a building being torn down in downtown Senatobia.
That portion of the building had a long history and some of you reading that story will have long memories of that building. But time marches on and while the memories remain the building had seen better days.
That leads your Tate Record to point out that nothing lasts forever and property that is not maintained or made useful to the community needs to be torn down for something new.

Ever since Donald Trump returned to the presidency last year, it became increasingly worrisome whether anyone in the government would hold his authoritarian impulses in check.
The Republican majorities in Congress, more concerned about keeping their jobs than performing their constitutional duties, have mostly sat back and let Trump do as he pleases, even if it meant stepping on their turf.

Mississippi’s lone Democrat serving in Congress, Bennie Thompson in the 2nd District, voted against the SAVE Act last week, which is intended to implement Voter ID across the U.S.
“I did not vote in support of the SAVE America Act because it would make it harder for Black and rural citizens to exercise their right to register to vote and cast their ballot,” Thompson wrote on Facebook. “It creates new barriers for people who already face enough challenges, including affording and accessing the proper documents needed to vote.”
