North MS Rural Legal Services with Attorney Ben Wilkerson

Tue, 27 Aug 2024 15:00:00 +0000

The Mississippi Taxpayer Assistance Project is a project of North Mississippi Rural Legal Services. The tax laws can be confusing and hard to understand. If you are having problems with the IRS, the Mississippi Taxpayer Assistance Project provides taxpayers with free legal assistance on tax issues throughout the entire year. Low income taxpayer clinics ensure the fairness and integrity of the tax system by educating low income taxpayers about their rights and responsibilities, by providing pro bono representation to taxpayers in tax disputes with the IRS and by identifying and advocating for issues that impact low income taxpayers. Although funded by the IRS, they are completely independent from the IRS and the Mississippi Department of Revenue. The Mississippi Taxpayer Assistance Project does not prepare current year tax returns.

Started in 2007, Sharing Hearts is a free senior care day service and ministry serving the Corinth community as a daycare program for adults who have Alzheimer’s disease, Dementia, Parkinson's, and other forms of disability. The hope of the ministry is to love and care for those special adults while giving them the opportunity for socialization and to also provide a “break” for their long-term caregivers while giving the caregivers a built-in support group.

The group meets each week on Tuesdays from 10 am to 3 pm at First Baptist Church in Corinth (501 Main Street, Corinth). Activities of the program include crafts, light exercise, music, devotionals, and a rousting game of balloon volleyball which is the highlight of most days! Snacks and a noon meal are also provided.

The program is run completely through tax-deductible donations. If you would like to donate to this worthy cause, contact the director, Lanell Coln, or mail your donation to the First Baptist Church of Corinth with a memo that it is for the Sharing Hearts program. Checks should be made out to Sharing Hearts.

If you have a loved one who you believe could benefit from this ministry or if you would like to volunteer your time to serve, contact Lanell Coln (662.212.2303). For more information about the program, follow “Sharing Hearts Adult Day Care” on Facebook.

National FFA Week Projects at Pine Grove High School

Tue, 30 Jan 2024 17:00:00 +0000

This Week: In this episode, Melinda talks with Byron Lopez, a senior at Pine Grove High School as well as a team member at The Shark 102.3. Byron is multi-talented but primarily works with the social media postings and monitoring community events announced on the Community Calendar updates each Tuesday and Thursday 4 p.m. In addition to finishing his senior year, Byron is also currently serving as the FFA Officer Coordinator at Pine Grove Chapter. He credits many of the leadership opportunities and experiences he has had through FFA as great preparation for the job he is doing now, especially on the communication end of things.

National FFA Week is recognized February 18-24 and it is a time to celebrate the chapter's overall achievements as well as highlight many of the cool things they do in the school and local community. This year, the FFA annual school-wide service project is a canned food drive with all donations going to the Food Bank at the Tippah County-based Good Samaritan Center. The Pine Grove FFA Chapter Officers will also conduct a service project geared toward the residents at Diversicare, a local nursing home. The officers will create and deliver care packages for the residents and each package includes lotion, lip care products, comfy socks, and a Word Search activity book. In addition to these service projects, FFA leads many fun events and fundraisers for the school.

Students as young as 8 years old or third grade can join FFA and can continue in FFA even after graduating high school. There are many leadership opportunities for members through their school years. Because of his experience in FFA and the leadership opportunities he has gained, Byron even plans to run for a state officer position later this spring. He also plans to be a part of the collegiate chapter of FFA at Mississippi State University when he starts attending there this fall.

Any listener who would like to donate to either of this year's service projects may take Word Search puzzle books, new packages of adult-sized socks, or canned non-perishable food to Pine Grove School or drop items off at The Shark 102.3 and JC Media office on the north side of The Square in Ripley.

Aloha From Hawai'i!

Tue, 23 Jan 2024 17:00:00 +0000

This Week: Melinda sits down with Hawaiian Steel Guitarist Geri Valdriz during his visit in Ripley, MS. Listen to Geri's journey from Family Court Judge to Steel Guitarist to Radio DJ in Maui, Hawai'i. During their interview, Geri Valdriz gives his perspective of having a hard time during his initial visits to Ripley, MS because he was amazed at how much people here talked. He explains that he came to realize that the constant communication was the basis for connection to establish "ties" to each other. He says he learned to slow down and listen to what was really being said. In Hawai'i, there are also many small communities where most of the people are kin to the others or have long-term friendships so he was able to understand that need for connection. An attorney by profession, Geri also served as a Family Court Judge for over 15 years. Upon retirement, Geri began to refocus his attention on more artistic adventures and learned to play the Steel Guitar. As a Hawai'ian Steel Guitarist, Geri has had many opportunities to play with musicians in Memphis, TN as well as all over Hawai'i. Most listeners will not know that the steel guitar and the concept of playing a slide guitar actually originated in Hawai'i in the 1800's before it crossed over to America and later, the world. Geri also spends much of his time as a DJ on KMNO 91.7 FM, a non-profit radio station where he hosts a radio show every Tuesday from 5-8 p.m. called Hawai'ian Steel. The show features guests, musicians, Hawai'ian steel guitar music, and call-ins from listeners. Geri gives a fantastic interview and one listeners will enjoy. Give it a listen and then stream Geri's Tuesday night show from the following website.

To enjoy the music of the islands, go to "manaoradio.com" every Tuesday from 5-8 p.m. for the KMNO 91.7 FM show, Hawai'ian Steel with host, Geri Vadriz.

Packing Up the Holidays with Beth Benson

Tue, 26 Dec 2023 17:00:00 +0000

This Week: Packing up all the holiday decorations is always a task - and not nearly as fun as putting it all out. However, packing up all the holiday décor helps create a clean slate and a fresh start for the New Year!

In this last episode for 2023, Melinda talks with Beth Benson about tips how to decide what to keep, what needs to be repurposed, donated, or discarded, and what you might need for next year. One great tip was to use smaller boxes and maybe pack things away room by room instead of all together in large boxes. Label the boxes for ease in finding what you want to display. This episode is filled with great tips for organizing and putting away all your holiday treasures and planning next year's holiday décor. And when people ask you how you got all this helpful information, tell the you Heard It on The Shark!

Rosemary Simple Syrup

1 cup water

Cinnamon Simple Syrup

1 cup water

1 cup white sugar

4 Cinnamon Sticks

½ teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract (optional)

To the Ramparts of Infinity with Jack Elliott, Jr.

Tue, 14 Nov 2023 17:00:00 +0000

This Week: In this episode, Melinda talks with long-time friend and author, Jack Elliott, Jr. In this phone interview, Jack discusses what sparked his interest in the life of Colonel William Clark Falkner, the great grandfather of Nobel Prize winning author William Faulkner, and how Elliott's desire to know more led him to research and write his book, To the Ramparts of Infinity.

World renown author, William Faulkner, used his great-grandfather as a model for the character Colonel John Sartoris. In fact, many of William Faulkner's characters were comprised of elements pulled from people who once walked the streets of Ripley and Tippah County. Because of all those connections, Elliott felt the story of Colonel William Clark Falkner should be told.

In his book, To the Ramparts of Infinity, Elliott has created a "field guide" to the history of Ripley. The book really brings that time period alive for the reader.

To purchase the book, go to the websites of Amazon, Barnes and Noble, or University Press in Oxford to order your own copy. If you are in Ripley, there are also copies available at the Ripley Public Library.

The Food Pantry at St. Luke's in Lee County

Tue, 7 Nov 2023 17:00:00 +0000

This Week: In this episode, Melinda talks again with Jason Martin, Director of the Hunger Coalition based in Tupelo and Lee County. This conversation is focused on the work at St. Luke Food Pantry in Lee County. This food pantry was begun in a church closet over 27 years ago and initially helped 8 families a month. It now serves over 2400 Lee County families each month.

Volunteers and monetary donations are vital to the work of the Food Pantry. The best way to find out more about volunteering with this great organization is to go to "stlukefoodpantry.org" website, click on the Volunteer tab at the bottom of the page, complete the application, and someone will contact you about the when and how of volunteering. Monetary donations are very important to the organization - even more so than canned food donations. With money, the St Luke Food Pantry can purchase items in bulk. To donate once or set it up as a regular monthly donation, go to the website and click "Donate".

The Food Pantry is located at 2653 Eason Boulevard in Tupelo and is open Thursdays from 8 a.m. to 12 noon. The Food Pantry is closed on the 5th Thursday of any month. If you need help and are a first-time client, bring a photo I.D., proof of residency in Lee County such as a piece of mail or utility bill, and the names and dates of birth of the persons in the household.

If you need help - even if you do not live in Lee County, do not wait until your family is out of food. There is a listing of Food Pantries in the counties across Northeast MS at "hungercoalitionnems.org".

If you want to help your community, look for ways to volunteer your services and be a resource for others. One place to start is to check out the "stlukefoodpantry.org" website.

Get the help you need and give the help you can!

This Week: Melinda talks with Carol Colbert and Debbie Teasley, two of the three owners of Daisy's on the Square in Houston, MS.

Located just off the Tanglefoot Trail, Daisy's on the Square is a true gem of a place housing several businesses all under one roof - including a restaurant, hotel, coffee shop, diner, and print shop. Houston, a Tanglefoot Trailhead city, is home of the southern end of the Tanglefoot Trail that runs 44 miles north to New Albany. Daisy's on the Square is definitely a destination to put on your "Day Trips to Take" list! Plan to stay overnight and enjoy this unique place.

Marshall Tucker Band

Mon, 31 Jan 2022 17:15:00 +0000

This Week: The Shark 102.3 got the opportunity to talk to Marshall Tucker Band lead singer, Doug Gray about their 5oth Anniversary Tour. Doug called in from Florida to talk about how the tour is going and about their upcoming concert in Huntsville, AL. Nashville, Tenn. (Nov. 16, 2021) — In 2022, the TheMarshall Tucker Band (MTB) will celebrate five decades since its inception. To celebrate, the multi-platinum southern rock group will hit the road for its historic “50th Anniversary Tour.” The MTB today revealed over 30 live concert dates with stops in Clearwater, Fla., Atlanta, Ga., Nashville, Tenn., Detroit, Mich., Chicago, Ill., New York, N.Y., Pittsburgh, Pa., Washington D.C., Phoenix, Ariz. and more.

“Five decades of The Marshall Tucker Band … sometimes it’s still hard to understand,” says MTB lead singer Doug Gray. “We are just regular people. The fans have given us so many special moments over these 50 years. I’m so proud of our band.”

In 1972, original members Toy Caldwell,Tommy Caldwell, Doug Gray, Jerry Eubanks, George McCorkle and Paul Riddle came together in Spartanburg, S.C. to form a southern rock band. They knew they had the magic for something that could reach people well beyond the South Carolina state line. They had the sound, the look, and the camaraderie. Problem was, they didn’t have a name. One day while rehearsing in a local warehouse, they came across a key ring with the inscription, ‘Marshall Tucker.’ It belonged to a blind piano tuner who resided in Spartanburg. It was this fated discovery that inspired the band’s moniker, and in that moment, The Marshall Tucker Band was born.

Dave Mason will join the legendary group on select live concert dates. “I’m really looking forward to joining the 50th anniversary celebration of this extraordinary band,” says Mason. “I’ve been waiting to get back on the road, and this is quite the opportunity to bring great music to everybody, everywhere.”

“Our special songs, guided by the lyrics of Toy Caldwell, have given us a deep emotional connection with our fans and friends,” adds Gray. “We love you all and can’t wait to see you on the road in 2022.”

The tour officially kicks-off on Jan. 12 at the Dosey Doe in The Woodlands, TX.

In the coming weeks, the second leg of the tour will be announced via marshalltucker.com.

Speaker of the House - Philip Gunn

melinda.marsalis2012@gmail.com (Philip Gunn, Melinda Marsalis, Chris Marsalis) — Mon, 1 Nov 2021 10:00:00 +0000

Special Interview: The Shark Team was honored to interview Speaker of the Mississippi House of Representatives Philip Gunn during his tour of Tippah County. The Speaker talked at length about the proposed repeal of the State Income Tax, Medical Marijuana and the proposed expansion of Medicaid. Speaker Gunn talked about the job of being Speaker of the House of Representatives and facts about the Capitol building. He also gave some best practices for people who wish to make their opinion known to their elected officials.

We have chosen not to edit the interview at all so there are pauses, um's and speaking errors that are usually cleaned up during production. We felt that you would enjoy the conversation more in its natural state.

Founder's Day in Falkner, MS

Fri, 24 Sep 2021 05:00:00 +0000

Colonel William Clark Falkner is the great-grandfather of Nobel Prize winning author, William Falkner. Colonel Falkner was a key figure in the construction of the Railroad that began in Middleton, TN and went through Ripley on to New Albany and Pontotoc. The Colonel gave the town of Falkner its name before it was a town. It was simply a stop on the rail line. The town of Falkner grew up around it. One of the great things about the connection is the spelling of the name. Until the author decided to give his last name more of a European spelling, there was no u in Faulkner. The Colonel and the town share the original spelling of the name Falkner.

The Falkner Heritage Founder's Day theme this year is Frontier Falkner. Costumes and frontier crafts will give visitors an idea of what Falkner, MS was like in its early days. Falkner Mayor Ross Gay will be dressed as Colonel WC Falkner. Ms. McKee and Ms. Williams are part of the planning committee for the day and are part of a non-profit group called Falkner MS Heritage Group.

Preserving the past for future generations.
