October is Manufactured Housing Month in Mississippi, according to a recent press release from the Manufactured Housing Association in Flowood. The release went on to say that one out of every three Mississippi housing starts in the first six months of the year was a manufactured home. With so many manufactured homes sold in the state, there is no doubt the industry fills a need. But the volume of manufactured homes sold may help explain why so many people confuse them with modular construction. Emily Austill said she got a permit and financing for her modular home in Perkinston. But after the home was delivered and while finishing work was taking place, a neighbor protested her right to have the home, believing it to be manufactured. Austill said work has stopped on the home until the misunderstanding can be rectified.
It's bad enough when a team starts losing football players due to injuries that happen during the normal course of games and practice, but when injuries start happening because of the field on which the team practices, that's quite another story. Because of some injuries that happened earlier in the season, the field behind the Memorial Park School the Rockland High School football uses to practice on has now been closed by the Rockland Park Commission, and the Bulldogs are now practicing in the outfield portion of the baseball stadium at Memorial Stadium. The Bulldogs will play their first game at Memorial Stadium Friday afternoon against Duxbury. That field needed to be repaired at the start of the season, and the first Rockland home game against East Bridgewater had to be played at Whitman-Hanson.

OAK RIDGE - If terrorists were to gain access to nuclear materials stored at vulnerable Oak Ridge sites and detonate an improvised bomb, thousands of people would likely die, a watchdog group claims in a new report.

(ARA) - With the home improvement season upon us, there is no better time than now to review your homeowners insurance to make sure you have the coverage you need. While Americans spent more than $198 billion in 2004 for home improvements and repairs, only 31 percent said they changed their homeowners coverage to reflect the increased value, according to a recent, national survey of 1,000 people by Farmers Insurance Group.Not reporting major home improvements - such as updating a kitchen or bathroom, enclosing a porch, or making an addition - to your insurance company puts you at risk of being underinsured. "Many homeowners are not adequately adjusting their policy to cover the new value of their home," says Jeff Beyer, senior vice-president & chief communications officer for Farmers Insurance Group.
