| Teacher of the week: Kay Shelton
Kay Shelton teaches P.E. at DeSoto Central Elementary for grades K-5. She is also the soccer coordinator for the intramural soccer program for grades K-6. She lives in Southaven with her husband, Billy, and their two sons, Josh and Jesse. When did you know you wanted to become a teacher? When I was younger, I worked a lot with children either in church or day care, and I loved it. One day, our preacher's wife told me that she thought I would make a good teacher. I guess she started the thought process. What do you still hope to accomplish as an educator that you haven't done yet? As a P.E. teacher, I would love to get all children involved in some sort of extracurricular activity. They all need to have some sort of activity that gets them up and moving instead of watching TV or playing video games.

The 2004-06 postings are purportedly to Richard Roberts from his political adviser and sister-in-law.
ORU President Richard Roberts is urged to use the ''voters and influence'' he controls to reap favors for Oral Roberts University in two years of weekly e-mails purportedly sent to him by his political adviser and sister-in-law, Stephanie Cantees.
''You intend to make ORU a political powerhouse where candidates will recognize that they will be expected to be asked questions and if elected when they come back for re-election they had better have some thing to show for the votes the students gave them,'' states one e-mail from ''Stef'' to Roberts' ORU e-mail address on Dec.
Historic cruise ship rendezvous
It was the first and only time the three ships will ever meet. The Queen Victoria was launched in December and the QE2 will be retired later this year and turned into a floating five-star hotel in Dubai. Thousands of New Yorkers stood along the waterfront of Lower Manhattan to watch the three grand vessels twinkling in the winter darkness as they lined in front of the Statue of Liberty amid fireworks. "They are big!" said Brammy Sturley, 8, who watched from aboard a Circle Line boat nearby in the harbor. Brammy's dad Steve described the boy as a "Cunard fanatic." A cold rain began to fall on the crowd on shore before the fireworks were over, but Manhattan resident Nadine Ellman, who sailed twice on the QE2, wasn't about to leave early. "This is for the die-hards," she said.
