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.www.jc.media662-837-1023theshark1023@gmail.com Welcome to HEARD IT ON THE SHARK with your show host Melinda Marsalis and show sponsor, Mississippi Hills National Heritage Area.

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. www.jc.media662-837-1023theshark1023@gmail.com Welcome to HEARD IT ON THE SHARK with your show host Melinda Marsalis and show sponsor, Mississippi Hills National Heritage Area.

Chris and Melinda have a passion for community development and love all of the amazing things that are going on in North Mississippi. 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. www.jc.media662-837-1023theshark1023@gmail.com

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!www.jc.media662-837-1023theshark1023@gmail.com
