The pumpkins were a generous donation from the BTC Grocery on Main Street. Pictured here are Jason Perkins, Amaurie Benson, and Damarious Weekley.

“This week the Law and Public Safety 2nd year students were taken to a wooded area to complete their Homeland Security certification in Overland Search and Rescue. The day before, students were given a map with different points that they were required to navigate and each student was assigned a certain route to take. Using a grid reader, they calculated the distance between each of the points, how many paces would be required to cover each set distance, and the different degrees of travel (based on magnetic north) required to navigate from one point to the next. Using a compass, they successfully navigated from a known starting point to three separate locations and then back to the starting point. We would like a thank the Water Valley fire department and especially Chief Mark McGavock, Layth Terry, Joe Duncan and Ken Gunter for coming out and helping to ensure the students safety while they were in the woods.”
