It’s going to be their day. When the soldiers of C Company 201st Engineering Battalion wake up Saturday morning, it will be a day designated to their honor.

Harrison County Judge Executive Alex Barnett has declared May 16 as 201st Day to honor the men and women who served a nine-month tour in Afghanistan.

They returned home in March and will receive their hero’s parade Saturday at 8:30 a.m.

Retired Sgt. Allen Fryman said he is anxious for the community to focus on the parade and the sacrifices of the soldiers.

Recently I was granted Drug Court instead of incarceration by the court system.

Drug Court is an alternative program for alcohol and drug offenders that have committed crimes to feed their addiction.

This program is a recovery program that I feel is set up to help you free your addiction and better yourself, as well as become an asset to yourself, your family and your community.

My name is Elizabeth Barron. I am writing on behalf of my teacher. His name is Jim Fuller. I would like for all of you to know that if there is a teacher who needs to be noticed, he would be the one. This teacher is not just any teacher. Mr. Fuller goes out of his way, and then some to help his students.
