Serious times for all Americans
We will never forget September 11, 2001. Our country, our lives and our future will never be the same. The unthinkable became a reality, as we witnessed an attack on American shores that was horrific and terror-filled. Symbols of America’s greatest came tumbling down in flames and ashes, destroyed by our own planes and our own technology. The attack was cunning, unimaginable and pure evil. I was not very far moved from the attack that occurred in Washington.

It is absolutely amazing how just a few tragic moments can change the entire course of a life and a culture. I am referring, of course, to the September 11 terrorist attacks on New York City and Washington, D.C. Already, just a few days after the event, I have heard more than one person comment on the way things “used to be.” The same sentiment is expressed when others say things “will never be the same.” Our country has indeed been shaped by a cataclysmic incident. What do we do now?

Senator Neely Carlton: A member of the next generation of Delta leaders
As one of the youngest members in the legislature, Carlton is helping to shape the future of Mississippi

Those who think such things are the very ones who have never visited the Delta drawing their conclusions from movies and the writings of various southern authors and other sources. To know the Delta is to love the Delta and if you happen to know the Delta, you know that the region has its share of success stories of individuals and companies who have reached international success from the Delta. CNN founder, Ted Turner’s family came from here as did the founder of Federal Express, Fred Smith.

USDA approves $9.75 million loan for Delta Pride Catfish
World’s largest catfish processing plant to undergo major renovations
Special to the DBJ
Approval of a $9.75 million USDA Rural Development loan puts Indianola, Mississippi-based Delta Pride Catfish, Inc., on a fast track for plant modernization at its Indianola processing facility.
One of the world’s largest fresh fish processors, Delta Pride plans capital projects to improve the plant’s work environment, enhance product quality and lower overall processing costs.
“This financing is the key to moving Delta Pride to the next level of operations,” says Bill Allen, president and chief executive officer. “It would not have been possible without the strong support of our state USDA Rural Development office and our congressional delegation, especially Senator Cochran and his staff.”
Renovation and expansion of the Indianola facility will begin immediately and could be completed by February, with construction phases designed to allow continuous plant operations.
