Mississippi Groups Receive Grants from Entergy Charitable Foundation
Expansion of Teach For America initiative included in first cycle of grants for 2010

Jackson, Miss. – Education efforts in many of Mississippi’s poorest counties are getting a boost, thanks to a $50,000 grant from the Entergy Charitable Foundation.
The money will be used to help establish a Teach for America Training institute at Delta State University in Cleveland. In turn, the institute will increase the number of qualified teachers in the Delta region.
The grant is the first installment of a $200,000 total commitment to Teach for America.
Grants benefiting Hinds Community College and the Public Education Forum of Mississippi were also included in the first cycle of grant announcements this year from the Entergy Charitable Foundation. The awards total $56,660 in Mississippi.
“These grants emphasize Entergy’s continued focus on improving education as a strategy to strengthen communities and help build a better future for Mississippi,” said Haley Fisackerly, president and chief executive officer of Entergy Mississippi, Inc. “We make a point to support organizations that work to help Mississippi’s children reach their fullest potential and channel educational resources where they’re needed most.”
The Teach For America Delta Training Institute will open its doors this summer at Delta State to provide training to TFA teachers, who will then be sent into more than 40 high-needs districts in the Arkansas and Mississippi Delta. The goal is to triple the number of teachers in the field from 160 to more than 600 in a two-year period.
Hosting the institute in Mississippi will produce short- and long-term economic, social and educational benefits for the state, noted Liz Brister, manager of external affairs for Entergy Mississippi, Inc.
Entergy Mississippi, Inc. provides electricity to more than 435,000 customers in 45 counties. It is a subsidiary of Entergy Corporation, an integrated energy company engaged primarily in electric power production and retail distribution operations. Entergy owns and operates power plants with approximately 30,000 megawatts of electric generating capacity, and it is the second-largest nuclear generator in the United States. Entergy delivers electricity to 2.7 million utility customers in Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas.

RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, the Mississippi Division, Sons of Confederate Veterans, has, over the years, watched in disbelief as Ole Miss has gradually, systematically, and without the approval of either the student body or the alumni dismantled most of the Confederate symbols of a university which had to close its door when most of its student body enlisted in the Confederate Army — those stolen symbols including Dixie Week, Johnny Reb, Battle flags at sporting events, “Dixie” as a fight song, and now, perhaps, even Colonel Reb (a mascot clearly based on famed Black Ole Miss fan “Blind” Jim Ivy); and
WHEREAS, Ole Miss intentionally allowed the One Mississippi organization to design a so-called university mascot “vote” by the Associated Student Body which specifically excluded legendary and current symbol Col. Reb from among the choices; and
WHEREAS, Ole Miss has refused to publicly divulge the source of the private money currently being used to gradually excise all Confederate symbols and Southern traditions from the university, even in light of the public’s and the Ole Miss community’s right to know who is funding this outlandish desecration of our heritage and slander of our noble Confederate ancestors; and
WHEREAS, Ole Miss, has, by virtue of its anti-Confederate and anti-Southern “ethnic cleansing” program, proven that it is not worthy of the use of symbols associated with either giants among men like Robert E. Lee, “Stonewall” Jackson, and Jefferson Davis — men of honor, integrity, bravery, devotion to principle, and love of state, region, family, friends, and God — or with the ordinary, typical young Southerners who went out to defend their new and legitimate nation when it was illegally invaded by the United States — young Southerners like Ole Miss’ very own, storied University Greys;
NOW, THEREFORE , BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MISSISSIPPI DIVISION, SONS OF CONFEDERATE VETERANS, IN CONVENTION ASSEMBLED AT GRENADA, MISSISSIPPI: That, should the University of Mississippi eliminate Col. Reb, we call upon said institution to concomitantly, immediately, and publicly eliminate all other Confederate symbols, statues, names (including ‘Ole Miss’ and ‘Rebels’), and references from the university and its campus, having, by such shameful action, proven itself unworthy to continue to use and/or exhibit same; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that this token of outrage and disgust be spread across the minutes of this 2010 Reunion Meeting held in Grenada, Mississippi, by the Mississippi Division, Sons of Confederate Veterans, and that the Recording Secretary present enrolled copies of this resolution to the Chancellor of the University of Mississippi at Oxford, Mississippi.
Done this 5th day of June, 2010, at Grenada, Mississippi.

Extension of Key State Fiscal Relief Measure Vital to Moving Mississippi Towards
Economic Recovery
Over $95 million for the Education of Mississippi’s Children and Workforce Hangs in the Balance
JACKSON – When Congress resumes today, the United States Senate will pick up work on a bill recently
passed by the U.S. House of Representatives that includes a number of items to stimulate job growth and
to support families experiencing job loss. Noticeably absent from the House Bill is a six month extension
of the temporary increase in federal matching funds for state Medicaid (enhanced FMAP) costs made
available through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
The extension of enhanced FMAP is critical for moving Mississippi towards economic recovery:
Recovery Act Funding has preserved nearly 7,000 jobs in Mississippi and prevented much deeper
budget and service cuts for K-12 education and health care;
Mississippi’s revenue collections continue to lag as May revenue came in $51 million below
projections - suggesting that a recovery of state finances is not yet underway;
A federal extension of the enhanced FMAP would bring in a projected $187 million;
Of the $187 million, $110 million has been appropriated contingent upon the extension of the
enhanced FMAP – with over $95 million for the education of Mississippi’s children and
workforce.
Opposition to the extension largely stems from misguided fears about the federal deficit:
The six month extension of enhanced FMAP is temporary and does not significantly add to the
long term deficits – which pose the biggest threats to the economy – due mainly to federal tax
cuts in the early part of the decade and rising health care costs;
Along with unemployment insurance benefits, aid to state governments is one of the most
effective way to use federal dollars to create demand and preserve jobs;
While the economy grew by 3% in the first quarter of 2010, the effects of budget cuts at the state
and local level stunted its growth.
“With over $95 million hanging in the balance for the education of Mississippi’s children and workforce,
Congress needs to include temporary provisions to extend the increased federal match for Medicaid costs,
said Ed Sivak, Director of the Mississippi Economic Policy Center. “Misguided opposition revolving
around federal deficits threatens jobs in Mississippi and the quality of education that children will receive
when school resumes this fall.”

Michael J. McGrevey, Former Mississippi State University Finance VP, is
Named President, Chief Operating Officer of JBHM Education Group
JACKSON, MISSISSIPPI – JBHM Education Group, a Jackson-based school-improvement company serving
public schools from New Mexico to South Carolina, has named Michael J. McGrevey as president, chief operating
officer, effective June 1, 2010.
Mike Walters, Ed.D., founder and former president, becomes chairman and chief executive officer of JBHM
Education Group. Walters said that rapid growth of the 10-year-old company led to the selection of McGrevey, who
resigned as vice president of finance and administration at Mississippi State University to accept the position. “Mike
McGrevey is a highly accomplished leader in developing and managing the organizational systems and procedures
that ensure exceptional service and efficiency,” Walters said. “We sought him because of the knowledge, skills, and
experience he can bring to JBHM Education Group as we scale our operations for additional school-improvement
opportunities throughout the nation.”
Walters will focus on strategies for JBHM Education Group’s continued growth, including the development
of new partnerships and service applications that benefit more students. He projects that the company will expand its
team of 250 school-improvement specialists by up to 60 percent in the 2010-2011 school year, representing a
growth rate of 122 percent over the past three years.
At Mississippi State, McGrevey managed or oversaw financial operations, institutional and campus
planning, investments, procurement, human resources, facilities, and business services. Prior to joining the
university in 2006, he was president of The Montgomery Institute, a regional strategic think tank in Meridian, and
was a former executive director of the Kemper County Economic Development Authority. The Ocean Springs native
returned to Mississippi in 2000 following retirement from the U.S. Air Force as a lieutenant colonel. As a financial
officer for the military, he developed and implemented policies, systems, and controls for budgets up to $24 billion.
Walters noted that JBHM Education Group was impressed by McGrevey’s “heart for service.” “When he
came home to Mississippi, he immediately went to work in economic development and followed the natural
migration to education. We all know that education is the answer for our communities and our nation. Mike
McGrevey shares our values and belief that all children should have the opportunity to attend a great school,”
Walters said.
McGrevey acknowledged the decision to leave MSU was a difficult one but said he was drawn to JBHM
Education Group because of the caliber of its work in public schools. “I can think of no area of service more
important to our country than improving our schools to provide every student an education second to none. JBHM
Education Group is a top-notch company with instructional and school-improvement specialists who are passionate
about helping teachers, principals, and students succeed. I am excited about using my expertise to complement their
work and continuing the company’s growth.” He and his wife, Ada, will reside on their farm in Decatur,
Mississippi.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

UCMLink.com Launches First Web-Based Network for Used Car Managers

Ridgeland, MS – June 2, 2010 – UCMLink is launching the first and only website – UCMLink.com – that allows Used Car Managers and dealers to find, list, trade, request, and communicate about inventory, all in one place.

“UCMLink.com combines aspects of Facebook, Craigslist, and Autotrader in a unique dealer-to-dealer wholesale environment.” says Robert Benoit, founder of UCMLink, “Managers are able to broadcast their needs, requests, and inventory, instantly through a comprehensive network”.

The goal of UCMLink is to enhance the everyday activities of Used Car Managers by using the network to vastly increase audience size. “With a few clicks of a mouse, UCMLink.com can almost instantly give managers the exposure that would otherwise take weeks to establish by phone”, says Benoit.

How UCMLink.com Works

When a member registers with UCMLink.com, they first set “preferences” for what they want to be informed about (i.e. make & distance), then, how they want to be informed (email, text, or both). After that, members can broadcast vehicles that they already have in inventory and want to sell, request vehicles they need, request bids on vehicles they are trying to trade for, and view vehicles being offered by other dealers. A host of tools are also provided to keep track of bids, appraisals, and contacts.

UCMLink.com Site Features

UCMLink.com is not a retail site. Access is only available to automobile dealers and wholesalers throughout the United States. Dealers have to register in order to view or post vehicles. An added feature, however, is a retail “view” that dealers can switch to if they have a customer in front of them and want to show the vehicle, but not details like wholesale pricing, location, or competitor contact information.

UCMLink.com is not a third party, or bidding site. Members are simply sent an email and/or text message with the vehicle description and contact information. That vehicle is then posted to the website for review. When a manager or dealer joins, they are given the privilege of using the database for themselves.

UCMLink.com Security

Trust is also taken into account during the development of the network, so, features like an advanced VIN decoder and integration with a dealer’s external accounts such as Carfax, Autocheck, and OVE provide peace of mind when doing business with other members.

UCMLink.com subscriptions

As part of the rollout process and to promote maximum membership, UCM Link is being offered free of charge for a limited time. Managers and Dealers can simply click on the register button, provide some simple information and they are ready to go. “Several of our members have sold cars on their very first day.” Says Jeff Richardson, Operations Manager for UCMLink.com.

About UCMLink.com

UCMLink.com is the ultimate networking site exclusively built for Used Car Managers. All the tools you need to communicate, list, locate, and search for inventory critical to your dealership can be found within the UCMLink.com community. To learn more, please visit www.UCMLink.com.

The Citizens Bank Named A Top Bank In Nation

PHILADELPHIA - In documents released earlier this week, The Citizens Bank was named a Top 200 Bank in
the United States by U.S. BankerMagazine. The rating was based on the past three years’ average Return On Equity,
an industry standard which measures an institutions ability to create profitability based on its corporate net worth.
The Citizens Bank was the top-rated bank inMississippi, coming in at number 99 nationally. The performance review
included all community banks and thrift institutions in the nation.
U.S. Banker’sEditor-In-Chief Alan Kline, who summarized the findings, noted “a couple of years ago, a threeyear
average return on equity of 10 percent would have been seen as subpar. By today’s standards, though, a 10 percent
ROE is more than respectable.” The article detailed The Citizens Bank’s performance by reflecting a three-year
return on average equity exceeding 10.5 percent. The bank manages more than $840 million in total assets and generated
more than $7 million in net income for the year concluding December 31, 2009.
“We consider it an honor to be named in the Top 100 community banks in America,” said GregMcKee, President
and CEO of Citizens Bank. “But of greater importance in today’s economy, it’s important for our customers to take
great confidence in our bank and the manner in which we operate.” In addition to The Citizens Bank’s rating in U.S.
Banker, it is also rated a 5-Star Bank by Bauer Financial Services, a leading bank ratings firm located in Coral Gables,
Florida. Bauer Financial pores through the financial reports of all banks across the country, with only a small percentage
earning its highest 5-Star rating, placing these elite banks among the strongest, most secure banks in the United
States.
“We take fiscal integrity very seriously,” McKee explained. “The economic problems facing our nation began as
the isolated problems of a few Wall Street institutions, but the trickle-down effect touched the lives of virtually all
families and businesses from coast to coast, but we have continued to maintain time-honored principles in our lending efforts, and as a result we’ve weathered the storm in a strong and secure way.”
“We have been affected to the degree that our customers have been affected, certainly,” he continued. “But our
guiding mission is to provide each person who relies on us with a bank that is financially strong and safe. Being
named a Top 100 bank in America is a testament to that, and we’re grateful to our customers for the opportunity to
have earned this recognition.”
The next-highest Mississippi-based bank named in the list was Merchants & Marines Bancorp, Inc., of
Pascagoula, which came in at number 109 of the Top 200. The entire list of the Top 200 Banks is available online at
the U.S. Bankers magazine website at www.americanbanker.com/usb_issues.

COMMISSIONERS’ FLIP FLOP ON KEMPER COSTS HARMS RATEPAYERS

Jackson, MS – In an unprecedented flip flop, two members of the Mississippi Public Service Commission voted today to shift the financial risk of Mississippi Power Company’s Kemper coal plant from investors to Coastal ratepayers by overturning their own one month-old decision. Commissioners Leonard Bentz and Lynn Posey adopted language proposed by Mississippi Power that allows up to $480 million in cost overruns to be passed through to ratepayers, and forces customers to begin paying for the plant immediately, even if it never produces electricity.

Just one month before, the same two commissioners had found that the project was in the public interest only if it cost no more than $2.4 billion, and that much more information was required before customers could be charged for the costs of the plant during construction.

“This is outrageous,” said Louie Miller, state representative for the Sierra Club. “This is really a betrayal of ratepayers on a scale no one has ever seen before. They are not even making Mississippi Power say what their customers are going to wind up paying for electricity.”

Robert Wiygul of Ocean Springs, the attorney who represented the Sierra Club through the year long proceeding, noted that the two commissioners seemed to have thrown out the factual basis for their original decision just because Mississippi Power complained. “It is astonishing to see a year’s worth of hearings and investigation thrown out because the power company got upset,” Wiygul said. “The public deserves better than this.”

Northern District Commissioner Brandon Presley, who dissented from the original approval of Kemper, also dissented from the changes in the order. Commissioner Presley noted that the proposed rate impacts resulting from construction of the Kemper plant had been kept secret by Mississippi Power and Commissioners Bentz and Posey.

If Kemper goes forward, it will stand in stark contrast to current trends in the electric sector. No new coal plants have started construction in the last 18 months because of opposition to high costs, declining energy needs, and concerns about global warming pollution.

Mississippi’s vanished sacred places resurrected in photos and history
JACKSON—Lost Churches of Mississippi (University Press of Mississippi, $35, hardback) is a collection of archival photographs, postcards, and drawings of more than one hundred notable churches and synagogues fallen to fire, disaster, development, or neglect. Constructed primarily from the mid-1800s through the early 1900s, these places of worship were often among the most visually prominent and architecturally striking buildings in Mississippi. Storms, floods, tornadoes, flames, bulldozers, or the disbandment of congregations razed what once was hallowed.
In Lost Churches of Mississippi, architectural historian Richard J. Cawthon reclaims such noteworthy temples as the old St. Paul’s Catholic Church in Vicksburg, Bethel Presbyterian Church near Columbus, the old Trinity Episcopal Church in Pass Christian, and the old First Presbyterian Church in Yazoo City.
The book includes 180 distinctive black-and-white illustrations from several historical archives and other collections that represent over fifty towns and cities throughout the state. Cawthon discusses the architectural features and historical background of each house of worship and provides a brief introduction that illuminates the study of lost buildings.
Lost Churches of Mississippi rescues a cardinal legacy and recognizes a portion of the state’s rich architectural and religious heritage. The book also features a glossary of architectural terms and an annotated bibliography.
Richard Cawthon will talk about and sign copies of his new book at the time and location below
