The three-day divisional competition was held April 13-15 in Tiger Stadium on the CHS campus. Athletes from six schools were represented at the event. In the girls' competition, Charleston was victorious with a team total 137 points, just narrowly defeating second-place finisher Winona, which posted 134.

Caledonia finished third with 86, Aberdeen was fourth with 62, South Pontotoc placed fifth with 30 and Nettleton brought up the rear with 20. Charleston's boys made sure their competition was less suspenseful. Charleston racked up 214.5 points, winning by a whopping margin of 77.5 points over second-place finisher Winona. Caledonia took third with 89 points, Nettleton was fourth with 32, Aberdeen managed fifth with 30.5 and South Pontotoc was the low man on the totem pole at 12. Charleston's ladies finished first in seven of 16 events.

The CHS gentlemen captured top honors in 12 of 17 events, with Robert Moore stealing the show by winning three individual contests.

Head Start, a federally funded national program, provides preschoolers with services in education, health and social services. Charleston Elementary School Principal Elaine Venable, who attended Monday's groundbreaking, lauded the work of Head Start.

"The Head Start is a great support staff to our children as they prepare them for school," she noted. "It's wonderful to see a center like this being born here." Venable said Head Start and kindergarten teachers at CES work closely for transitioning purposes. District 2 Supervisor Johnny Goodwin commented that Head Start provides "a good foundation" for young children. ICS operates two Head Start facilities for children in Tallahatchie County. The second is located near Glendora in the brick building that formerly housed Black Bayou Elementary School.

State law since has removed that provision for convicted murderers.

Williams was sentenced by Lamar to serve five years. He also was ordered to pay a fine of $500, restitution of $1,500, court costs of $263 and a MCVCF levy of $100. Two other counts for burglary of a building and grand larceny in connection with the Gee's break-in were remanded to court files. Anthony Montrel Carson, 23, of 312 Wilson Sumner, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit burglary of a commercial building in a July 25, 2002, case. In an order of non-adjudication issued by Lamar on April 12, Carson was sentenced to five years, but if he fulfills certain requirements during that term, including staying out of trouble and paying a $500 fine, restitution of $250, court costs of $263 and $100 to the MCVCF, his record will be expunged.

Carson had four other counts two each for burglary and petit larceny of two local nightclubs remanded to court files.

After receiving consent to search from Lattimore's wife on Sept. 22, within a matter of hours officials found Prahl's 1993 Ford Mustang in dense woods and underbrush on Lattimore's property. Armed with a search warrant, investigators returned the next day and discovered Prahl's buried body shortly before noon in close proximity to the car. Positive identification was made several days later through the use of dental records. As part of Lattimore's plea, Lamar remanded to court files a second charge of receiving stolen property, a 1989 Ford Mustang, from Jennings' Auto Sales in Tutwiler.

This marks Lattimore's second murder conviction, as well as the second time a life sentence has been imposed against him. In May 1982, Lattimore was found guilty of the December 1981 shooting death of a Washington County man and was sentenced to life. He was paroled by the Mississippi Parole Board in Jackson on July 31, 2001, after serving roughly 19 years of that sentence. Parole Board officials later cited Lattimore's exemplary record while incarcerated as a factor in his parole. He had successfully completed adult basic education courses and earned Sun-Sentinel.
