The Clydesdale Christmas Store volunteers headed to Smithville in Monroe County in December to help families who lost everything during the April 2011 tornado that devastated their entire town. “We thank Mayor Greg Kennedy and his assistants who provided a list of names of families to us,” said organizer Brenda Luther. Twenty Clydesdale volunteers arrived in Amory on Friday to set up the party for 60 families of Smithville. The Amory National Guard provided the facility for the big event. More than 50 volunteers with the store were there on Saturday to assist in making it a special day for more than 300 people. Portion of road renamed By SUE WATSON The children of Jeremiah and Hazel LeSueur asked the Marshall County Board of Supervisors in December to rename a portion of Rising Star Road, beginning at the city limits to the end of the road, in honor of their parents. Supervisors said it is a lot of trouble and expense to rename a road and they suggested that portion of Rising Star be dedicated to the LeSueurs, instead, as other roads are often dedicated with a sign.
