Starting on Sept. 15 and ending on Oct. 15, the nation honors the contributions of Hispanic Americans in the United States. Began in 1968 as Hispanic Heritage Week by Pres. Lyndon Johnson, it was expanded in 1988 by Pres. Ronald Reagan into a full month observation and was signed into law that same year.

Happenings
Seniors get in the game
Thanks to a gift from the Southern Mississippi Planning and Development District, seniors at the Moss Point senior center have become masters of the Wii.
Once or twice a week, seniors take turns playing bowling, tennis and a variety of other games using Nintendo's gaming console.
The activities keep them physically engaged and introduce them to new technology. Perhaps some seniors will soon be able to challenge their grandchildren to a game or two.
Head Start Revamp Continues
Construction is humming along on Jefferson Street's Head Start facilites.
Renovated bathroom and kitchen facilities are just some of the amenities the staff are eagerly anticipated.
JCCAC's home in the East Jackson County Services Complex has received its own renovation over throughout the spring and summer.
With a fresh, new look and better facilities, Head Start and JCCAC can continue to provide quality services to the children and families of Jackson County.
