The William Winter Institute for Racial Reconciliation celebrates its 15th anniversary this week.

Founded in 1999, the institute focuses on supporting racial equity in communities and classrooms to provide a pathway to ending all discrimination based on differences.

Susan Glisson, executive director of the William Winter Institute, said the program continues to work to be as efficient as possible. “We hope to kick off a minor

in civic and community engagement, as well as certificate program in healing and equity for practitioners around the country,” she said. Glisson explained that the insti-

tute is starting its anniversary off by cosponsoring the 2014 Racial Reconciliation Week with UM Athletics, the Center for Inclusion and Cross Cultural Engagement.

Precautionary boil water advisory issued for West Oxford

COURTESY; CITY OF OXFORD

Tuesday afternoon the City of Oxford issued a precautionary boil water advisory for limited areas of the western part of the city following a water main break near Highway 6. A statement released by Assistant City Engineer Reanna Mayoral said the advisory is limited to areas west of the Jackson Avenue-Highway 6 interchange and south of Woodlawn Drive. Areas included in the advisory are Thacker Heights (Garden Terrace, Eagle Point, etc.), the Links apartments, Tommie Collie Jane Road and portions of Anderson Road near County Road 165. Preliminary samples taken Tuesday afternoon indicate

that the water is fully disinfected, however, the City wants to use every precaution for its citizens on the west side of town. Official results are expected on Thursday afternoon. Until the precautionary notice is lifted, Mayoral advises residents of West Oxford to boil all water for one minute before using for drinking, cooking, brushing teeth and washing dishes or fruits and vegetables. Residents should also abstain from using ice made from recent tap water. For a updates on this notice, visit the City’s website, Facebook or Twitter.
