Palestine
& Israel: Monday, September 9th, 7:30pm at DSU
Residents of the Delta will have an opportunity
to get a first hand report on the crisis in the Middle East
from Dr. James W. Fleming, founder and Director of the Biblical
Resources Study Center, Jerusalem, Israel. DSU Prof. Garry
Jennings, Director of The Madison Center, notes that "Dr.
Fleming has been working in the Middle East for well over
three decades. His observations on the crisis will be a valuable
education for the campus and regional communities." Dr.
Fleming's talk is the first in The Madison Forum Series
that will bring noted scholars and public officials to the
campus during the academic year to speak on politics, law,
and policy. It all starts at 7:30pm at the Delta Room in Ewing. |

Holiday
Inn Express Hotel and Suites to open
Set to open in the Spring of 2002, construction
for the new Holiday Inn Express Hotel and Suites is well underway.
With both the Comfort and Hampton Inns under his belt, owner
Dinesh Chawla says he was ready to try another chain. The
new facility is set to have a total of 66 rooms, 18 of which
will be suites. Chawla says he entered the hotel industry
13 years ago, when he stepped in to help out his father. When
asked about the complexities of running a hotel, Chawla says
it is simple!"Focus on one guest at a time." |

| Cleveland
welcomes
first urologist
Dr.
Derek Miles, originally from Kansas City, Missouri, now calls Cleveland
home. On July 29th, the Bolivar Urology Clinic opened its doors,
and expanded health care for Bolivar County Residents. Dr. Miles
received both his undergraduate and medical degrees from the University
of Missouri in Kansas City, and acquired surgical training in St.
Louis at Barnes Jewish Hospital. During his residency at the University
of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson, Miles says he began considering
opening a practice in the Delta. Having lived here only a short
while, Dr. Miles says he enjoys life in Cleveland and is very enthusiastic
about his practice. Dr. Miles' clinic is located at 907 E. Sunflower
Road, suite 103 in the Physicians Fourplex next door to Bolivar
Medical Center.

Gumbo
Music finds
new home
Gumbo Music, formerly on North Chrisman Avenue,
has settled into a new location at 101 5th Avenue, next door to
Doublequick. Owner, Brian Ware, says the move provided the easygoing
atmosphere he was looking for, and placed the shop in much closer
proximity to Delta State. Ware, a musician himself, describes his
shop as a specialty music store that features a diverse selection
of hard-to-find albums and box sets. Ware also says a good portion
of his business is dedicated to tracking down special orders for
his customers. In addition, Gumbo Music offers a selection of independent
music publications. Gumbo Music is open Monday through Saturday
from 10am to 6pm. |

State receives funding for blues band
Through
the recent restructuring of a grant from the Hearin Foundation,
Delta State has been allotted funds to form the first ever Delta
State blues band. Dr. Luther Brown, head of the Delta Center for
Culture and Learning, says a major portion of the money will go
to scholarships while the remainder will be used to purchase equipment
and provide publicity. Barry Bays, a professional musician and instructor
at Delta State, will act as the band coordinator. Brown says, "we
want the band to have a flexible composition with the core comprised
of students." In addition, Brown hopes to have local talent
and members of the community sit in with the group. The band's first
"gig" is scheduled for October. |
