LOUISVILLE, Miss.–A mother who called 911 early Saturday gave Attala County emergency workers a bit of a mystery that was never solved. She said her son had been in a wreck on Hwy. 14 east, and that he needed medical attention.
But, she didn’t know where the wreck had happened, saying she believed it was in Attala County.
Just after 3 a.m. deputies, firefighters and an ambulance were all dispatched with a mission to find the brown Chevy Equinox, with a Holmes County tag, and the injured man.
Shortly after 3:30 a dispatcher could be heard saying someone had found the man on the side of the road and had taken him to the hospital in Louisville. That gave deputies who were searching for his Equinox an idea that the wreck may have actually been in Winston County.
After searching up and down the highway for the wrecked SUV, they could not find it and concluded that wreck must’ve happened across the county line.

NEW ALBANY, MS (June 28, 2024) – The Mississippi Public Service Commission has approved a new area code, 471, which will overlay the existing 662 area code.
It will not replace the 662- area code, but it will exist alongside it. This change is necessary because the numbering resources for the 662-area code are expected to be exhausted by the third quarter of 2026.
• Who is affected: Existing customers with the 662-area code will retain their current phone numbers. However, new customers or those requesting additional lines may be assigned the new 471 area code once it becomes active.
• Dialing requirements: All customers will continue to use 10-digit dialing (area code + seven-digit phone number) for local calls.
• Coverage area: The 471-area code will cover the same geographic region currently served by the 662-area codem which includes all of the Public Service Commission Northern District counties:
Alcorn, Attala, Benton, Calhoun, Carroll, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Clay, Coahoma, Desoto, Grenada, Itawamba, Lafayette, Lee, Leflore, Lowndes, Marshall, Montgomery, Monroe, Oktibbeha, Panola, Pontotoc, Prentiss, Quitman, Tallahatchie, Tate, Tippah, Tishomingo, Tunica, Union, Webster, Winston and Yalobusha counties.
In addition, the 471 area code will serve a large area of the Public Service Commission Central District including Holmes, Humphreys, Issaquena, parts of Kemper, Noxubee, Sharkey, Sunflower, Washington and Yazoo counties
• Implementation timeline: The new area code is expected to be implemented in late 2025 or early 2026. Customers do not need to make any changes currently.
Further updates will be provided as the implementation process progresses

LEAKE COUNTY, Miss.–Leake County deputies arrested two people following a high-speed chase Friday night.
The chase began on Hwy. 35 north, near Singleton Rd., at 11:26 p.m. A deputy radioed in that he was chasing a Black Dodge Challenger. He did not say why the chase started.
About two minutes later the deputy reported that speeds had reached 124 mph, and that the Challenger was passing in no passing zones, but that traffic was light. Other deputies joined the pursuit.
Anticipating the chase would continue, he asked that Attala County deputies be notified. Attala County deputies were on their way to assist in stopping the car when the chase ended still in Leake County, on Hwy. 35 near Ridge Rd.
Deputies reported back that two people were in custody. It was unclear what charges the two would face besides charges related to the chase.

KOSCIUSKO, Miss.–A car chase started Friday afternoon near Hestrville when an Attala County deputy saw a gold Toyota Corolla cross a double yellow line in a construction zone on a bridge on Hwy. 35.
At one point before they left Attala County speeds reached 110 mph.
The chase started just after 5 p.m. The deputy backed off and let the perpetrator have some room as they crossed into Carrol County. The suspect persisted through Vaiden and into Montgomery County.
The chase then ended up on I-55.
Spike strips were deployed on the bridge over Hwy. 82 at the Winona exit as the Mississippi Hwy. Patrol and Montgomery County deputies joined the chase. It was unclear how from radio communication, but the suspect either evaded the strips or kept going despite their damage.
About 40 minutes after the chase began, and with help from the other agencies, the suspect was caught in Grenada County.

KOSCIUSKO, Miss.–If you have bought anything online, you’ve helped pay for paving work in Kosciusko, and the contractor that just finished up last year’s project is sticking around to do more.
Mayor Tim Kyle told Breck Riley on the Breckfast Show that you’ll be seeing more work done because the contractor contacted City Hall and said his equipment was still in town. He offered to tackled a few more streets at the same rate quoted for last year’s job.
Kyle said they’re using a special fund to pay for paving that comes from internet sales tax revenue and goes to the state coffers.
“That money has to be spent on infrastructure and we had some money left over,” he said.
So, it made sense to say yes and get the work done.
“So, we went ahead and added a few streets,” he said.
Golf Course Rd. and James Meredith Dr. are two of them.
“We’re trying to fix streets that lead in and out of neighborhoods. So, hopefully in town now nobody will have to drive more than a block or two to a decent street.”

CARTHAGE, Miss.–Damaging winds, lightning and possible tornadoes came through Mississippi Thursday night. Though most of the damage was confined to the Jackson Metro area, Leake County was under a severe thunderstorm warning about 10:30 when someone reported their house had been struck by lightning.
That was at the intersection of Storm Rd. and Hwy. 487. The person who called 911 said his utility room was filling up with smoke. Carthage volunteer firefighters responded.
“As that moved across we did receive widespread reports of tress, power lines down, damage,” said National Weather Service Forecaster David Cox.
More than 30,000 Entergy customers lost power across several counties, mostly Madison, Rankin and Hinds.
There were also several possible tornadoes.
“There were some areas of circulation that did do some damage in the Bolton, Edwards area (Hinds County) also in Lauderdale and Clarke counties and we’ll be assessing that over the coming days,” he said.

Update: Lauren Fancher has made it to the Wildcard round and will need our continued support to advance to the quarter finals. Voting resumes on Friday at 4 pm and will end on Sunday afternoon. Lauren says that she is humbled by everyone’s support and since she has gathered such a following, she is more determined to win this for her school and students.
Previous Story: Lauren Fancher is the 6th Grade Math and Science teacher at Greenlee Elementary in the Attala School District. She submitted an entry into the Reader’s Digest competition titled “America’s Favorite Teacher.” Posting on Social Media, and getting recognition by her students, their parents, friends and relatives, Fancher has crept up to be in 3rd place in her category. Fancher has been a teacher for nine years, with the last 3 being at Greenlee. Her students like her style of teaching as it is not your traditional classroom. When asked what she would like to do with the $25,000 prize she says, “I’d use the money to purchase new desks and flexible seating for my classroom. I would also purchase beginning of the year school supplies for my students, and make sure none of my students left school on Friday without a “blessing bag” of meals and snacks to eat over the weekend. Any money left over would be put aside to help with class community service projects and rewards throughout the year.” The competition has different levels and she has to place each time the voting starts over.

It’s 20 years in prison for a former Leake County sheriff’s deputy who was arrested last year in an evidence tampering investigation that led to dozens of drug cases being dismissed. Justin Moore admitted his guilt in court yesterday. He had been indicted on 31 counts of evidence tampering over a two-year period. The Mississippi Forensics Lab had raised questions about some of the drug evidence submissions that came from the sheriff’s office and conducted an internal investigation. Sheriff Randy Atkinson says, when he was notified, he asked the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation to get involved and do an audit of the sheriff’s department’s evidence vault confirming the source of the altered and tampered evidence. Atkinson says steps have been taken to prevent something like this from happening again—including revising the department’s policy on the intake of narcotics. The sheriff says the case should serve as a warning to those involved in drugs in Leake County that nobody is above the law.

WM encourages residents to review safety tips with their children regarding waste collection trucks, especially now that local schools are on summer break. Safety precautions are important now more than ever when children are spending the most time outside.
“Safety is our top priority, and WM cares about the residents and neighbors in the areas we serve,” said Mark Noel, WM Director – Environmental, Health and Safety. “Now that children are out of school and out and about in the neighborhood, we want to make sure their curiosity or interest in garbage trucks does not lead to harm. WM highly recommends that parents or adult guardians accompany small children who want to get a closer look at garbage trucks they see on the street.”
SUMMER SAFETY TIPS
- Keep at least 15 feet from the truck. Never climb on the truck. Do not play or stand in or around waste and recycling bins or cans, since you may not know when the truck is coming to empty them.
- Learn the schedule of when service vehicles are in the area. Waste and recycling trucks, postal vehicles and other package delivery services keep regular schedules within each neighborhood.
- Always keep a safe distance from a truck. It takes service vehicles about twice as long to stop as a passenger car, so never cut in front of or stop suddenly in front of one.
- Do not allow children to help with loading any materials into the truck, and do not stand behind the truck while it is being loaded. Be cautious of debris that may be dislodged during compacting.
- Vehicles like WM trucks make frequent stops and wide turns, so do not follow the truck closely or try to go around a moving truck while walking, running, biking, skating or driving.
- Be aware of blind spots. There are several areas where visibility can be restricted for the driver. If you cannot see the driver’s eyes, they may not see you.
- Every WM truck is equipped with a back-up alarm. Stay alert and listen for the “beep-beep-beep” sound, an indication that the truck is backing up. Whether you’re walking or driving near one of our trucks, if you hear this sound or see its white back-up lights, be sure to move out of the way.

COVID-19 is being blamed for two more deaths in this part of central Mississippi. The State Health Department says the reports from Attala and Leake counties are among 23 deaths included in the latest update, with some of those dating back to January.
The total number of COVID cases in Mississippi is expected to reach one million when the Health Department releases its next update this week. So what happens now with this virus? Do we start dealing with it like the flu? Here’s what State Epidemiologist Dr. Paul Byers says…
“There’s still a lot of unknowns about why a disease may be seasonal versus constant. But I think it’s certainly a possibility that we will see some level of seasonality shake out with COVID. Whether it exactly coincides with the flu season or not is yet to be determined.”

JACKSON, Miss. (May 5, 2023) – The following Main Street communities in Mississippi have been designated as Accredited Main Street America™ programs for meeting rigorous performance standards. Each year, Main Street America and the Mississippi Main Street Association (MMSA) announce the list of Accredited programs to recognize their exceptional commitment to preservation-based economic development and community revitalization through the Main Street Approach™.
The 2023 Accredited Main Street Communities in Mississippi include:
Amory, Baldwyn, Batesville, Biloxi, Booneville, Byhalia, Cleveland, Clinton, Columbus, Greenville, Greenwood, Hattiesburg, Hernando, Holly Springs, Kosciusko, Laurel, Leake County, Louisville, Nettleton, New Albany, Ocean Springs, Pascagoula, Pearl, Philadelphia, Picayune, Pontotoc County, Ripley, Saltillo, Senatobia, Starkville, Sumrall, Tunica, Tupelo, Vicksburg, Water Valley, West Point, and Woodville.
“We are very proud to acknowledge this year’s 862 Accredited Main Street America programs, and their steadfast dedication to nurture economically and culturally vibrant downtown districts,” said Hannah White, Interim President & CEO of Main Street America. “The increase in the size and impact of our network speaks volumes to the power of the Main Street movement to respond to the needs of local communities and drive innovative solutions.”
In 2022, Main Street America programs generated $6.2 billion in local reinvestment, helped open 7,657 net new businesses, facilitated the creation of 29,174 net new jobs, catalyzed the rehabilitation of 10,688 historic buildings, and leveraged 1,528,535 volunteer hours.
On average, for every dollar that a Main Street program spent to support their operations, it generated $24.07 of new investment back into their downtown communities.
Collectively, 2 million people live or work within the boundaries of designated Main Street America districts. An estimated workforce of 1.1 million people contribute their skills and expertise to advancing the missions of these historic downtowns and commercial corridors.
“Receiving National Main Street Accreditation is a prestigious designation and we congratulate each of these communities in Mississippi for this significant achievement,” said Michelle Jones, MMSA Board President. “Main Street programs play a strategic role in making Mississippi more competitive by being a catalyst for economic development.”
In addition, several Mississippi communities were recognized among the Main Street America Affiliate programs in recognition of their commitment to creating meaningful improvements in downtowns and commercial districts across the country using the Main Street Approach™, including Aberdeen, Columbia, Corinth, Crystal Springs, Indianola, Itawamba County, Gulfport, Meridian, Moss Point, Natchez, and Okolona.
The MMSA staff evaluate each local Main Street organization’s performance annually and work in partnership with Main Street America to identify the local programs that meet rigorous national performance standards.
To quality for Accreditation status, communities must meet a set of rigorous standards that include commitments to building grassroots revitalization programs, fostering strong public-private partnerships, nurturing economic opportunity for small businesses and entrepreneurs, and actively preserving historic places, spaces, and cultural assets.
In 2022, Mississippi Main Street’s Designated communities generated 495 new businesses, 56 business expansions to existing businesses, 841 new jobs, 183 building rehabilitations, and 1,817 downtown living spaces. In addition, 79 public improvement projects were completed as well as 24 new construction projects in historic downtown business districts. More than $242 million was invested by the public and private sectors in 2022, and more than 42,255 volunteer hours were recorded.
MMSA currently has 48 Designated Main Street communities, one Network community, and 25 Associate members.
“MMSA evaluates each of our local Main Street program’s performance annually, and we work in partnership with Main Street America to identify the local programs that are committed to comprehensive revitalization and achieving meaningful community outcomes,” said Thomas Gregory, MMSA Executive Director. “We congratulate all of our nationally accredited and affiliate programs and remain committed to assisting every community to achieve the highest recognition.”

Need financial advice? Your top financial advisor just may be at your local school. These students took learning to the next level by taking top honors in the Mississippi Stock Market Game (SMG). Students from E.P.I.C. ACADEMY, coached by _Kenneth Nelson Jr_, were named Region 4 1st place winners in the spring 2023 High School Division of the Mississippi Stock Market Game (SMG).

The program enables teams of students to invest a hypothetical $100,000 in the stock market over a 13-week period. Winners are determined on the percentage return above or below S&P 500 growth. The team outperformed the S&P by __3.8___%.
“The Stock Market Game has always been a virtual program and has been implemented by teachers across the state in their classrooms. Now that students are back in the classroom, this virtual program continues to be a valuable tool in innovative learning. We are proud of the teachers for thinking outside of the box when it comes to engaging their students. As it is a STEM program, it fits well inside many subjects, stated MCEE president, Selena Swartzfager.”
MCEE will award prizes to each first and second place team in each region from each division during a Stock Market Game awards ceremony.
The curriculum used in the SMG is correlated with Mississippi College and Career Ready Standards and meets the criteria of a STEM program. Teachers report that math scores increase when the SMG is used in the classroom.
SMG is an online education program used in thousands of classrooms nationwide to help teach math, social studies, business, economics, and language skills. Students in grades four through twelve participate in teams and manage a simulated investment portfolio during the school year. The MS Council on Economic Education (MCEE) is doing what we can to support educators in this new environment.
SMG is made possible by the support of more than 600 securities firms, combined with grass-roots support in schools and communities. It is the only stock market simulation supported by the New York Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq Stock Market.

The director of the National Hurricane Center says it’s important for everyone in Mississippi to be prepared for tropical weather– even those of us who live a long way from the coast. Michael Brennan was in Jackson Wednesday as part of the Hurricane Awareness Tour which is traveling through the Gulf Coast states this week. Brennan says people understand the dangers of a hurricane’s winds and storm surge but he calls rainfall flooding from a tropical system “an underrated hazard which can occur not just at the coast but well inland across the entire state of Mississippi, hundreds of miles away from where a storm might hit the coast.”
Brennan says it doesn’t take a strong hurricane to cause a lot of inland flooding.
“It has a lot more to do with how fast a storm is moving, how long it rains in a given location, how saturated the ground is ahead of time. And you can have both flash flooding which develops very quickly or you can have prolonged river flooding that happens and can last days or weeks after a storm.”
Brennan says during tropical storms and hurricanes in the last ten years, more Americans have died because of rainfall flooding than from anything else.
The NHC director visited Jackson along with Air Force Reserve and NOAA crews who fly into hurricanes to gather information. Hurricane season begins June 1.

On April 24, Gov. Tate Reeves signed Senate Bill 2359 that creates the Mississippi Main Street Revitalization Grant program. This program will provide funds for downtown revitalization projects in Mississippi’s designated Main Street communities.
Each year, the Mississippi Legislature will be provided a list of prioritized projects from designated Main Street communities. Grant funds will be available on a competitive basis for eligible projects up to $500,000 per community.
“Main Street is Mississippi’s leader in downtown revitalization, and we are truly grateful for the recognition of our efforts and the confidence of the Mississippi Legislature by entrusting our organization with this grant program that is unique to our state,” said Thomas Gregory, MMSA Executive Director.
Communities with populations above 10,000 will be required to provide a 20 percent local match, and communities with populations less than 10,000 will be required to provide a 10 percent local match on the first $100,000 and 20 percent local match on amounts more than $100,000.
In addition to establishing the new Main Street Revitalization Grant program, the Legislature passed House Bill 1719 that allocates $3 million in ARPA funding for eligible projects in MMSA designated communities. Main Street communities with populations less than 25,000 will receive $61,400; communities over 25,000 will receive $68,000. These funds are in addition to the $5 million in ARPA funding that was allocated to Main Street communities last year.
Designated communities of the Mississippi Main Street Association include: Aberdeen, Amory, Baldwyn, Batesville, Biloxi, Booneville, Byhalia, Cleveland, Clinton, Columbia, Columbus, Corinth, Crystal Springs, Greenville, Greenwood, Gulfport, Hattiesburg, Hernando, Holly Springs, Indianola, Itawamba County, Kosciusko, Laurel, Leake County, Louisville, Meridian, Moss Point, Natchez, Nettleton, New Albany, Ocean Springs, Okolona, Pascagoula, Pearl, Philadelphia, Picayune, Pontotoc County, Ripley, Saltillo, Senatobia, Starkville, Sumrall, Tunica, Tupelo, Vicksburg, Water Valley, West Point and Woodville.
“This year’s legislative success belongs to everyone in the Main Street family, and we look forward to working with all of our communities to prioritize and implement these projects in Mississippi’s historic downtowns and districts,” said Michelle Jones, MMSA Board President. “Hopefully, this program will also inspire communities to become members of the organization so that they can eventually become designated Main Street communities and benefit from this ongoing program in the future.”

Peeler continued his studies at Mississippi State University, adding a Master of Science in kinesiology to his resume in 2008.
Peeler and his wife, Tori, live in Columbia, Missouri with their three children where he is the wide receiver coach at the University of Missouri. Prior to his current coaching job, he served two seasons as offensive coordinator at Texas State (2020–21), three seasons at Ole Miss (2017– 19) and four seasons at California (2013– 16).
In Peeler’s two seasons at Texas State, the Bobcats produced eight offensive All-Sun Belt Conference honorees. The Bobcat offense increased its rushing output by nearly 65 percent from the previous season and averaged 369.7 total yards and 27.7 points per game in 2020. It was the most yards gained for the Bobcats since 2015 and the most points scored since 2014.
While at Ole Miss, Peeler coached two of the NFL’s best 2019 rookie wide receivers. He spent two seasons as receivers coach (2017,2018) and was promoted to co-offensive coordinator. In 2018, Peeler was inducted into the Holmes Sports Hall of Fame.
At Cal, he was a graduate assistant in 2013-14 before being promoted to assistant coach for inside receivers in 2015. Peeler helped turn Cal’s offense into one of the nation’s best, as the Golden Bears ranked in the NCAA’s top 10 in passing offense, top 15 in total offense and top 25 in scoring offense for three-straight seasons. Peeler’s coaching stops also include Louisiana Tech (2009– 12) and Itawamba C.C. (2008).

UPDATED 10:30AM WEDNESDAY
An escapee from the Hinds County Detention Center is believed to have died in a fire this morning after a shootout with law enforcement that left a Leake County deputy wounded. A citizen had reported seeing Dylan Arrington on his property in the Conway community on Tuesday and Sheriff Randy Atkinson says he and one of his investigators went back early today to talk to the witness again.
“I spoke with him briefly. The homeowner went in the house and came running out saying ‘he’s in the house, he’s in the house’.” We got the house covered and he started shooting out of the front of the house and struck my deputy,” Atkinson says. The deputy is said to be in stable condition with a leg wound.
During the shootout, the sheriff says smoke began pouring out of the house, which eventually burned to the ground. It’s believed that Arrington didn’t escape but his body has not yet been recovered. Atkinson says they don’t know how the fire started.
He was one of four inmates who broke out of the jail in Raymond last weekend. He’s suspected of killing a minister from D’Lo who had stopped to help him after Arrington apparently wrecked a stolen motorcycle in Jackson Monday night. He drove off in the victim’s truck.
Atkinson says he has no idea of why Arrington wound up in Leake County.

UPDATED 5:00AM WEDNESDAY:
A manhunt overnight in Leake County for a jail escapee suspected of killing a man in Jackson this week. Someone in the Conway community east of Thomastown reported seeing a man who fits the description of Dylan Arrington. He’s one of four men who escaped from the Hinds County Detention Center in Raymond last weekend. And police say he’s believed to have wrecked a stolen motorcycle in Jackson Monday night, shooting and killing a minister from D’Lo who had stopped to help him. Police say he drove off in the victim’s truck.
Sheriff Randy Atkinson says the search continues this morning. “As of now, we haven’t found anything. We’ll continue to look to make sure he’s not still in that area.”
The sheriff’s office has been joined by MBI, the U-S marshals and other law enforcement agencies in the search. The man was said to be wearing dark sweatpants and a dark hooded sweatshirt. The citizen who reported seeing Arrington on his property told investigators he recognized him from his mug shot. And the sheriff says there’s some evidence he might have been there…
“It was some things we believe that was his that he had left inside of a little small trailer.”
And the sheriff says they haven’t seen the stolen truck that Arrington may be traveling in…
“We combed the area pretty good. We did not see the vehicle that was described that he might possibly be in. Somebody might have picked him up and got him out of here. That’s what we’re thinking.”
But Atkinson is asking county residents to keep their doors locked, remove keys and weapons from parked vehicles and if they see a trespasser on their property, to call the sheriff’s office instead of taking matters into their own hands.

Some uncertainty about how storms in the Delta beginning late Thursday night may affect what happens in other parts of Mississippi on Friday has prompted the National Weather Service to reduce the threat of severe weather across the state. What had been a Level-2 “slight” risk in the local area has been downgraded to a Level-1 “marginal” risk for most of Mississippi Friday afternoon and Friday night. NWS says damaging winds, hail and a few brief tornadoes will still be possible. And there’s a continued threat of flash flooding, although eastern Mississippi may escape the heaviest rainfall.

The men and women who serve on Mississippi’s volunteer fire departments aren’t in it for the money. Because there isn’t any. They aren’t paid for what they do. But soon, those firefighters will have a retirement benefit. Gov. Reeves on Monday signed legislation that’ll put up to $500 a year into a volunteer firefighter’s retirement account.
Tommy Malone, the fire coordinator in Leake County, says it’ll be an incentive that the fire departments can use to shore up their ranks.
“We’ve seen a lot of change in the demographics of our fire departments. A lot of what we have now as far as volunteers is going to be our older guys. But we’re hoping this is going to encourage some younger guys to maybe get in and stay with it, protecting our communities from fires and emergencies.”
Malone says those volunteer departments need as many members as they can get because on any given call, only a certain number of firefighters will be available.
“A lot of our people, instead of like it used to be, working at local factories to where they could get off work to go help on fires– a lot of these guys now are working offshore or out of town and things like that. They’re not accessible during the day. And so it really puts a crunch on daytime response.”
The retirement benefit will be based on an individual firefighter’s record.
“It’ll be a criteria-type of program of where they have to meet so many calls and they have to attend so many meetings and get certain training and things like that.”
The law takes effect in July.

We’ve gone two weeks without a tornado in Mississippi. And that’s pretty impressive considering that April is historically the busiest month for tornadoes in the state. We had six during the first three days of April and nothing since. But it looks like we’re in for another round of possibly severe storms later in the week. Right now, the local area is under a Level-2 “slight” risk for Friday. The storms could also produce some flash flooding.

Matthew 6:34
Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
First day struggle
Next day pain
Third day reaching for the light of the fame
Looking out at the world feeling all this aggression
I got the lord on my side sending all right directions
All this depression
All I feel is hate and rejection
I’m learning these lessons
Tell me how to fix my discretion
All these goals and these dreams that I cannot deny
But it’s okay because I’ll only take it one step at a time
(Chorus)
You been on yo’ grind tryna make it out the struggle
Taking one day at a time try’na get it off the muscle
They look at you and say you blessed but don’t know sometimes that you suffer
All the challenges you face, you feel that life is just a puzzle
(Verse 2)
You look in the mirror and see no reflection
Asking the Lord can He send you a blessing
Tragedies got you hurtin’ and you stressin’
No pain, no gain, gotta learn yo’ lesson.
You feel so lost and abuse
Been walking all through the rain
You hate the choices you choose
Still caught up in yo’ ways
You ain’t got no time to lose
You try’na better yo’ days
You got a point to prove
Show ‘em all that a beast can’t be tamed
Take it one step at a time day by day
God keep them demons away
Don’t let ‘em get in yo’ way
I know you come from the bottom
You try’na climb up this mountain
Know in due time you gon’ make it.
So much on your mind
You can leave it all behind
No matter what you try
You can never say goodbye
You’re feeling all this hassle
Feel like life is just a crime
Just try to keep it calm and take it one day at a time
(Chorus)
(Repeat Chorus
(Outro)
Step by step, day by day
We’re gonna rebuild what was taken away
Step by step, day by day
Give it to the Lord and let Him lead the way
Step by step, day by day
We’re gonna rebuild what was taken away
Step by step, day by day
Give it to the Lord and let Him lead the way

A couple of Attala County natives will play in the Mississippi State spring football game Saturday.
Antonio Harmon and Percy Lewis are both expected to get playing time in the annual Maroon-White Game.
During the spring season, Harmon, the former Kosciusko Whippet, has made the transition to tight end under new offensive coordinator Kevin Barbay.
As a redshirt-sophmore last season, Harmon saw playing time at wide-receiver in five games, with most of his receptions coming in the season opener against Memphis.
While the rosters for the squads haven’t been announced, former McAdams Bulldog Lewis is expected to be a starter on the offensive line.
Kickoff for the Maroon-White Game is set for noon Saturday.
The radio broadcast of the game can be heard on the Bulldogs Sports Network.

The National Scenic Byway Foundation congratulates the Natchez Trace Parkway as the winner of our 2023 Byway Organization Award for Communication. This is one of the Foundation’s eight national awards presented annually.
The Natchez Trace Compact (NTC) represents the Parkway across three states. NTC is responsible for implementing the 2021-2022 Marketing Plan with an aggressive advertising, marketing, and public relations program. As part of its overall strategy for attracting visitors to the byway and adjacent communities, one goal is to communicate the message – “Explore the Trace, Discover America.”
The NTC is made up of three state tourism offices and 18 community DMOs who work together to encourage travelers to experience the “Unique Journey from Natchez to Nashville.” The NTC knew the approach to reach travelers post-pandemic had to look different than previous marketing efforts. The new tactics complemented existing efforts to reinforce the message that the Parkway and local communities were open and safe for exploration.
The website’s enhanced interactive map and itinerary builder has gained traffic, so we highlighted it more over the past year on social media and in digital advertising to assist travelers in their planning. We updated community information to double-check hours and what venues were open (no small task on a byway of this size). Our social media posts also featured these venues as travel inspiration, and our scenic photography was greatly enhanced due to our partnership with digital influencers and the local DMOs. A real publicity plus was Colleen Creamer’s New York Times, article, “From Nashville to Tupelo on the Natchez Trace Parkway.” The 444-mile Trace secured an extensive feature about her personal trek down the Byway from Nashville to Tupelo in a hybrid vehicle.
The Natchez Trace Parkway was designated an All-American Road in 1996, part of the America’s Byways collection. Visit their website at www.scenictrace.com or www.travelbyways.com.
The National Scenic Byway Foundation is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization serving as The National Voice of Scenic Byways and Roads, dedicated to strengthening Byways through education, training and shared expertise. It is the vision of the National Scenic Byway Foundation that our nation’s designated Byways will be recognized and valued worldwide for their distinctive experiences, stories, and treasured places. For more information visit www.travelbyways.com; www.nsbfoundation.com; or email: info@nsbfoundation.com.

Choctaw Resort Development Enterprise (CRDE) held a groundbreaking ceremony today on a new travel plaza to be located on South Church Street in Louisville, MS. The 18,000-square-foot facility will have 150 slot machines, a Sportsbook lounge, 3,000 square feet of retail space, a family-friendly restaurant, and fueling stations for commercial and passenger vehicles.
“This project has been discussed for some time and today it is great to see it come to fruition as we break ground,” said Tribal Chief Cyrus Ben. “This is a new project for CRDE that represents business growth for our Tribe. I am excited for both the Crystal Ridge community nearby and for the Winston County/City of Louisville community. We have a wonderful working relationship and as Tribal Chief for the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians, it is a great moment for me that we can work together to collectively better provide for our people.”
In addition to Tribal dignitaries, representatives from the City of Louisville, Governor Tate Reeves’ office, and Congressman Michael Guest’s office were in attendance.
The Louisville Travel Plaza is a preliminary project name only. Chief Ben announced a Tribal-wide contest to give a permanent name to the new facility.
The 24/7 travel plaza will be set on 18 acres of Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians reservation land, the Crystal Ridge Community, located in the city limits of Louisville. The $25 million dollar project is expected to employ approximately 100 people and the target opening is the Summer of 2024.

You see a lot of them these days when you’re driving in Mississippi– those customized black and white car tags which help to raise money for the families of fallen law enforcement officers and firefighters. And there could be more of the tags on the roads soon thanks to a new state law which makes it easier to get one. The “blackout” design will be available with regular tag numbers, no customization required.
The executive director of the Mississippi Association of Chiefs of Police, Ken Winter, says when the tags first came out, he wasn’t sure they’d be popular with the public. But he says they’ve been a hit and have already raised over $1 million for the Mississippi Law Enforcement Officers and Firefighters Death Benefit Trust Fund. Each tag generates $36.25 for the Trust Fund.
Winter says some people who buy a blackout tag may not even realize where the money goes. But he says those in law enforcement and the fire service appreciate the donations.

AAA says the statewide average price has been climbing for the last nine days, now at around $3.14. The auto club says higher oil prices and a strong demand for gas have been driving up pump prices.

A program which could save Mississippians’ lives during a tornado is on hold. The Mississippi Emergency Management Agency launched the Individual Safe Room Program last summer to use federal money to help people in certain counties build shelters, either in their homes or underground. Three of the eligible counties were Sharkey, Humphreys and Monroe, all of which have been hit by deadly tornadoes in the last few weeks. MEMA says a total of 491 applications have been received from those three counties but all of them are still awaiting approval by FEMA, which is asking some of the applicants for more information.
Even though this is a reimbursement program to cover a large part of the costs, anyone who’s impatient and starts work on a safe room before being approved won’t receive the money. MEMA is hoping to speed things up and eventually to expand the program to all 82 counties.
MEMA received almost 2,000 applications for the safe room program last year but only 853 were from eligible counties. The rest of the applicants will have to reapply once their counties become eligible.

A storm that pushed through Simpson County Monday morning produced an EF-1 tornado. The National Weather Service says the storm with top winds of 95 miles an hour was on the ground for 4.6 miles just south of Mendenhall. Most of the damage was to trees. And another EF-1 has been confirmed in Jones County, also with winds of around 95 miles an hour. The storm track southeast of Moss was three and a half miles and the tornado knocked down trees and damaged one home early Monday.
NWS has also confirmed a March 31st tornado touchdown in DeSoto County. The EF-1 storm hit near the Eudora community west of Hernando. And a survey has been completed on the tornado that killed two people in Monroe County on March 24. The EF-3 storm was on the ground for almost 37 miles through Chickasaw, Monroe and Itawamba counties with winds reaching an estimated 155 mph. It was the widest of all the deadly storms on that day– just under a mile wide.
The local area remains remains under a Level-1 “marginal” risk of isolated severe storms through this afternoon. A similar threat will cover most of Mississippi late Tuesday through early Wednesday.
The storms this week are not expected to produce another significant tornado outbreak like Mississippi has experienced the last two weeks. But as we saw with the storm in Simpson County Monday morning, tornadoes can’t be ruled out.

It’s shaping up as a rainy and stormy week in Mississippi. But– at least at this point– the chance of another widespread outbreak of tornadoes appears unlikely. A few severe storms could push into western Mississippi tonight but should weaken as they track into the central part of the state. The National Weather Service says the local area could see some flash flooding tonight with one to three inches of rain possible. Then, on Monday, there’s a Level-1 “marginal” risk of isolated severe storms which includes most of this area followed by a Level-2 “slight” risk in the Delta and a marginal risk as far south as Attala County late Tuesday into early Wednesday. NWS says the tornado threat with any of these storms will be low but can’t be ruled out.

More Mississippians are coming down with the flu. The numbers aren’t nearly as high as they were back during the fall, but the State Health Department says a steady downward trend in flu cases has suddenly turned around with the latest report for the week ending March 4 showing the highest flu rate in three weeks. About three and a half per cent of patients seeing their doctors had flu-like symptoms, up from about two and a half per cent the week before. The flu rate in the public health district which includes Attala County is back up to 25 per cent, still the highest in Mississippi, while it’s above four and a half per cent in the district which includes Leake and Neshoba counties, the third-highest flu rate in the state. The CDC still considers the overall level of flu activity in Mississippi to be low– but it’s higher than any of our neighboring states.

A Louisiana sheriff says the rocky beach where the bodies of an Ethel woman and her two daughters were found is not a popular spot for swimming. Autopsies are being done to confirm that the 28-year-old mother and the girls, seven and eight years old, drowned. A nine-year-old boy who was rescued is recovering, at last report listed in stable condition.
Cameron Parish Sheriff Ron Johnson says the surf at Long Beach was very rough Sunday with waves crashing against the rocks. He says his investigators have not been able to talk to the boy and they’re not sure how the victims wound up in the water. The family, which also included a 3-year-old boy, was seen together on the beach earlier in the day– but later the younger child was spotted wandering the beach alone.
“We surmise that the three (older) kids may have gone out swimming past the rocks,” Johnson says. “Momma wouldn’t have gone swimming and left the three-year-old. She must have realized they were in trouble and went out to get them.”
The sheriff says Cameron residents favor some of the bigger and safer beaches in the parish and tend to stay away from Long Beach. “There’s not a lot of beach right there. It’s not a good place to go,” Johnson says. “Most of the time when we have drownings down here, it’s not local people. It’s people that are from away from here who maybe don’t understand. I don’t know of any locals who’ve ever drowned here.”

SANDERSVILLE, Miss. (AP) The Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians is expanding a casino in southeast Mississippi.
The band will expand its Bok Homa Casino, which opened 12 years ago just northeast of Laurel.
Tribal officials say the expansion will include a 60-seat restaurant and a larger sports betting area. That will allow for more slot machines and more office space.
The new restaurant will be called Red Creek, which is the English translation of Bok Homa.
Director of Resort Operations Michelle York says the tribe hopes to complete construction by December.
The tribe also operates the twin Silver Star and Golden Moon casinos at Pearl River in Neshoba County.
Unlike those two, Bok Homa does not have an onsite hotel.

A class at Holmes Community College has released a song completely written and produced by students.
The song is called “Watch Over Me” and it was written by students in Mike Yates’ Computer Recording I class.
“At the beginning of our Computer Recording I class, the plan was to begin individual projects,” said Yates. “However, some of the students were struggling due to recent deaths of their loved ones and other life conflicts.”
To help deal with these conflicts and emotions, Yates made a change and had the team work on a group project.
“Just in conversation before class started I could tell a few of them were struggling and the discussion started about what was going on in their life and we used it to write this song. It was a healing process in itself to let it all out in song.”
Yates said the discussion led the group to a verse in the Bible: Psalm 121: 5-8, which is where the song got its title.
“Teaching and instruction isn’t always about just lecture and application. Relating to them and walking them through life is part of my job where I get to help the students succeed while pursuing an education.”
Students involved in the project are Cray Cairncross, Dy’lan Roberson, JaMarcus Brown, and Cameron Weatherby.
The complete song and lyrics can be found below.

Lyrics:
Watch Over Me
Written and produced by
Cray Cairncross, Dy’lan Roberson
JaMarcus Brown, Cameron Weatherby
Mike Yates
Intro
Psalm 121: 5-8 states
The Lord watches over you
The Lord is your shade at your right hand
The sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night.
The Lord will keep you from all harm
He will watch over your life
The Lord will watch over your coming and going
Both now and forevermore.
Verse 1
Had some goals, felt ambitious
Went downhill, saw some weakness
Loads of debt, tough decisions
Loved one passed away now I’m in a tough position
Lot’s of family drama I can’t handle all the stress
Man, I’m upset,
I am not getting no rest
Mind going east and the west
Feels like a test,
Can’t put no trust in nobody
Man now I’m just feeling depressed
I go to church and
I went to go talk to the Lord
And now I be feeling so blessed
Thoughts in my brain
From all this pain
Man, I’m just trying to stay in my lane
Chorus
(Watch over me)
I got a long road that I’m taking
I am success up in the making
I know that one day I’m destined for greatness (Watch over me)
Living fast I get way too impatient
So much pain I really can’t take it
Got the feeling you’ve been watching me lately
(Watch over me)All of the problem gotta face it
A broken heart, hard to replace it
I got a vision I need to embrace it
(Watch over me)
Watching me so I know you a witness
So you can help me and handle the business
All of these people by testing my limitsVerse 2
Oh yeah testing my limits
Have you ever did something you know it wasn’t right
But you had to go eat so you did it?
I got some things on my mind like the cap of my head
But some things get way too explicit
I gotta get to the bag,
Gotta run up some cash right now because I’m on a mission
God keep holding me, and watch over me,
And don’t let ‘em blur up my vision
Tired of the fake love
People been sleeping on me
I’mma make ‘em wake up
Late nights I stay up
Thinking of a few ways I can get my cake up
Feel like they hate us
I been feeling down, still holding my face up
Tired of the fake friends
People keep switching up
They don’t keep it ten-ten
Think I’m going blind
I got day one’s people I’ll never see again
Chorus
(Watch over me)
I got a long road that I’m taking
I am success up in the making
I know that one day I’m destined for greatness (Watch over me)
Living fast I get way too impatient
So much pain I really can’t take it
Got the feeling you’ve been watching me lately
(Watch over me)
All of the problems gotta face it
A broken heart, hard to replace it
I got a vision I need to embrace it
(Watch over me)Watching me so I know you a witness
So you can help me and handle the business
All of these people by testing my limits
Bridge
I hope you watch over me
I hope you know I miss you G
I wish I had a time machine
So you could take a ride with me
I hope you watch over me
I hope you know I miss you T
I wish I had a time machine
So you could take a ride with me

Some damage in this part of central Mississippi after severe storms swept across the area early Sunday morning. In Leake County, several homes were damaged.
“We had some trees down on some roads,” said Emergency Management Director Tommy Malone. “And then we had some trees that fell on three houses and one car shed.” Malone said the wind blew the tin roof off another house. He said the damage was scattered across the county. “Highway 43 had some trees (down), (Highway) 429, some on 35 North, then we had some up around the Remus community (north of Edinburg). That’s where we had the trees on the houses and some damage to the structures.” Other communities affected included Marydell, Thomastown, Singleton and Tuscola.
In Neshoba County, some of the damage was around the Arlington community northwest of Philadelphia. Trees fell on a couple of houses, a carport roof was blown onto a car and a trailer was damaged—and a tree damaged a house near the Spring Creek community northeast of Philadelphia. And in Attala County, trees were blown down east of Kosciusko along Highway 14, southeast of Kosciusko along Williamsville Road and northeast of Kosciusko on Highway 43– also southwest of Hesterville on Highway 19 and on a county road southeast of Possumneck.
In the wake of the storms, much colder weather is settling in across Mississippi. A freeze warning will be in effect tonight with temperatures dropping as low as 30 degrees.

The first wave of thunderstorms to move into Mississippi overnight fizzled out. But a secondary line of storms is now pushing to the east and there’s still a chance of some severe weather. The National Weather Service says, with the line moving more slowly than forecast, the eastern part of Mississippi could have a chance to heat up some before the storms arrive this morning, possibly helping to intensify the storms. Most of the state is under a Level-2 “slight” risk of damaging thunderstorm winds and possible tornadoes this morning. But non-thunderstorm winds could cause problems too, both ahead of the storms and behind the front. There’s a high wind warning posted as far east as Holmes and Carroll counties with wind gusts up to 55 miles an hour possible this morning. A wind advisory is in effect for the entire state this afternoon with gusts up to 40 miles an hour possible.

An online scheme that’s become an increasing concern for parents across the country has already hit home in the worst possible way for one family in Mississippi. A Starkville father says his teenage son killed himself after getting caught up in a sextortion scheme involving a video chat with some people in Nigeria who threatened to share the explicit images online if he didn’t pay them $1,000. And it’s apparently more widespread than you may realize. A similar scheme was attempted in Kosciusko. And John O’Hara with the Better Business Bureau of Mississippi says he mentioned sextortion during a talk at a school in south Mississippi recently and several students told him they had been asked to send explicit photos to someone they met online.
But O’Hara says it’s not just kids who become victims. He says it sometimes happens to older people who fall for romance scams which take advantage of lonely adults on the internet. And he says for those who get lured into one of these sextortion schemes, paying the money isn’t the answer. O’Hara says the initial demand will be “only the tip of the iceberg” and the extortionists will continue to ask for more money.
He’s encouraging parents to talk to their children about online dangers. And O’Hara says kids should be encouraged to tell their parents if they fall victim to a scheme.
Attorney General Lynn Fitch offers educational resources on internet safety for both parents and young people. Fitch says sextortion schemes should be reported to:
www.cybertipline.org
The information will be forwarded to the attorney general’s office for investigation.

The inaugural Keath Killebrew Memorial Rodeo, presented by the Killebrew Ag Foundation to benefit scholarships for aspiring young farmers, will be held July 28-29 at the Mississippi Coliseum in Jackson.
The Keath Killebrew Memorial Rodeo will feature rodeo favorites like bull riding, bareback bronc, saddle bronc, ranch broncs, calf roping, breakaway roping, steer wrestling, team roping, barrel racing, bullfighting and bull poker – with over 500 cowboys and cowgirls from around the globe.
In addition, country music sensations and Mississippi natives Chapel Hart will perform as part of the festivities on opening night, while Drake Milligan will entertain on the closing night. Weekend passes are available for purchase now.
The Mississippi AG and Outdoor Expo put on by the Mississippi Wildlife Fisheries and Parks Foundation will also be set up at the Fairgrounds July 28 and 29.
Proceeds from the event—established in honor of Keath Killebrew, a Delta farmer, father, artist and entrepreneur who tragically died in a plane crash while exploring new farming opportunities in Paraguay—will benefit the Keath Killebrew Charisma Award Fund, which awards scholarships to young men and women interested in working in the agricultural field.
A lifelong Mississippian, Keath Killebrew farmed cotton, soybeans, rice, peanuts, wheat and watermelon across six counties throughout the Delta and surrounding hills from Senatobia to Flora. A true Renaissance man, Keath also raised cattle, tended bees and taught welding at the Mississippi State Penitentiary at Parchman. At age 40, he expanded his passion for capturing the magic of Delta landscapes from photography to painting, a hobby he shared with his wife, licensed clinical psychologist Dr. Alyssa Killebrew.
“Keath truly lived his life like he was preparing for a bull ride,” Alyssa says. “He was always creating new ventures with his businesses and always excited to work hard, and that’s what bull riding and preparing for rodeos is all about. You know you’re gonna get bucked off, and he did many times as he was trying to build a farm operation, but he always got back on and always kept trying.”
Tickets for the event can be purchased HERE.

Police Chief Sean Holdiness says, once the investigation is complete, security video taken during the shooting will be released in the interest of transparency.

St. Matthew’s Episcopal Church will host its annual Shrove Tuesday pancake supper beginning at 6:00 PM on Tuesday, Feb. 21.
This meal, prepared by the men of the church, has been a tradition at St. Matthew’s for most of the church’s history.
Shrove Tuesday, often called Pancake Day, is the traditional feast day before the start of Lent on Ash Wednesday. Lent, the 40 days leading up to Easter, was traditionally a time of fasting and on the Tuesday preceding its beginning, early Christians went to confession and were “shriven” (absolved of their sins).
Shrove Tuesday was also deemed the last opportunity to use up eggs and fats before beginning the Lenten fast.
Pancakes were a good way of using up these ingredients.
While confessions are not a part of Protestant Shrove Tuesday meals, St. Matthew’s has found its annual supper to be a meaningful way to begin the Lenten season.
Visitors are very welcome to share this special meal with the congregation of St. Matthew’s. The church is located at 205 St. Matthew Street, Kosciusko, across the street from Jason Niles Park.
The public is also invited to attend the church’s Ash Wednesday service on the following day at 5:30 PM.

One suspect is in custody and Louisville police are looking for several others after a Sunday shooting outside a convenience store left one person dead and five wounded. Police Chief Sean Holdiness says one of the victims, Devonta McMillian, 23, died at the University of Mississippi Medical Center Sunday night. McMillian, Richard Vaughn, 62, and an unidentified minor had been airlifted to UMMC and three others were treated and released at Winston Medical Center. It’s believed that Vaughn was a bystander who was shot in the back as the suspects opened fire on another group of people. The chief says the Sunday shooting is linked to the recent death of Montevious Goss, 16, whose body was found near a railroad track about two weeks ago. An autopsy shows Goss died of a gunshot wound.

Leaders from Attala County and the City of Kosciusko gathered Friday to honor a war hero.
During a ceremony at Kosciusko City Hall, a proclamation was presented to name Feb. 18, 2023 “James W. (Bill) Bailey Day.”
That day marks the 50th anniversary of Operation Homecoming, which saw Attala County native Bill Bailey rescued after spending over 5 years as a prisoner of war.
Kosciusko Mayor Tim Kyle presented a resolution to Rita Brown, Bailey’s sister, on behalf of the City of Kosciusko and Attala County. Joining were Kosciusko aldermen Robert Ellis, Henry Daniel, Earl Price and James Culpepper and Attala County Supervisors Tim Pinkard, Bobby Lindsay and Willie Perteet.
Bailey was shot down and taken prisoner during the Vietnam War on June 28, 1967. He spent five years and eight months as a prisoner of war in the Hoa Lo Prison, which came to be known as the “Hanoi Hilton.”
Bailey grew up in Attala County, but attended school in the Barnes community. After finishing high school, he went to Holmes Community College on a basketball scholarship. After Holmes, Bailey enlisted in the military.
After returning home from the war, Bailey returned to school and earned a Bachelor’s Degree from Ole Miss and a Master’s Degree from Georgetown University before becoming a teacher and an assistant principal.
He currently lives in South Carolina.

After several incidents involving dangerous animals, the City of Kosciusko is working on a new dog ordinance.
Mayor Tim Kyle says, in order to keep the community safe, the updated regulations are necessary.
The new ordinance incorporates parts of the previous ordinance along with some recent changes to regulate dogs like pit bulls which, Kyle says, are the subject of frequent complaints.
The mayor says there are a lot of streets in Kosciusko where it’s not safe to walk because of vicious dogs.
The ordinance will be considered at the next Board of Aldermen meeting.
It lays out the responsibilities of dog owners and the consequences if someone is attacked.
Violations will result in a minimum fine of $500 and up to $1,000 and/or six months in jail.
The complete ordinance can be viewed here.
Kyle discusses the ordinance during Minute with the Mayor:

TUPELO, MS—National Park Service park rangers made 8,557 traffic stops on Natchez Trace Parkway last year. The traffic stops resulted in 6,428 citations and 266 arrests.
The majority of arrests were for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. The second most common reason was for warrants issued by other agencies and third was for drug possession charges.
“These numbers reflect the hard work and dedication of the parkway’s rangers to keep the public and park employees safe,” said Chief Ranger Prashant Lotwala. “Drivers are reminded to observe posted speed limits, watch for employees at work and cyclists, and avoid distraction.”
Additionally, park rangers responded to 260 motor vehicle crashes along the 444-mile parkway. While most crashes involved little or no injuries, two resulted in loss of human life.
Money generated from fines for tickets and arrests made by National Park Service rangers go to the Federal Crime Victim Compensation fund, not the Natchez Trace Parkway.

Flu levels are lower than low in Mississippi now. A report from the Centers for Disease Control is classifying the state in the “minimal” category with the State Health Department saying only about three per cent of patients seeing their doctors during the week ending Jan. 21 had flu-like symptoms. That’s down from three and a half per cent the previous week. That represents the statewide average but there are some places in Mississippi where flu cases are increasing. The public health district which includes Leake and Neshoba counties reported a flu rate of seven per cent. But the part of the state that’s had the highest flu rate– a district which includes Attala County– has seen a significant drop from 22 per cent to 11 per cent in a week’s time.

The threat of severe weather Tuesday night has been extended to the north, now including Leake and Neshoba counties and about half of Attala County. Those areas are under a Level 1 “marginal” risk of damaging winds and hail and the National Weather Service isn’t ruling out the possibility of a tornado. There’s a Level 2 “slight” risk of severe storms in a small part of southeast Mississippi and a Level 3 “enhanced” risk from the Hattiesburg area to the coast.
Ahead of the storms Tuesday, NWS is forecasting strong winds gusting up to 45 miles an hour across much of Mississippi including most of the local area. And there’s a “limited” threat of flooding as the storms come through with two to three inches of rain possible.

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — Mississippi legislators had a light workload the first two weeks of their three-month session.
But they are about to get busy debating proposals on health care, voting rights and other issues.
Monday was the deadline to file general bills. Committees face a Jan. 31 deadline.
Bills that survive will face a Feb. 9 deadline for consideration in the full House or Senate.
Then the two chambers will exchange bills for more work.
Among the bills filed are those to help financially struggling hospitals, expand Medicaid, allow early voting and penalize parents who allow children to have gender reassignment procedures.
Here’s a look at some of the general bills:
HOSPITALS — Multiple bills seek to help financially struggling hospitals by creating grant programs or tax credits.
MEDICAID — Multiple bills seek expansion of Medicaid to people who work low-wage jobs that don’t provide private health insurance. A 2010 federal health care law allowed expansion, and Mississippi is among 11 states that have not taken the option. Other bills — including House Bill 426, which has bipartisan support — would allow extension of Medicaid coverage from 60 days to one year after a woman has given birth.
EARLY VOTING — Multiple bills would allow people to cast ballots before Election Day. Mississippi currently allows early voting for people who will be out of town on Election Day and for those who have a disability or are 65 or older.

STARKVILLE, Miss.—Mississippi State University President Mark E. Keenum today [Jan. 13] announced Zac Selmon — the scion of a legendary college football family and a rising star in athletics administration — as MSU’s new Director of Athletics. The appointment follows a national search.
“In seeking a new Director of Athletics, we talked with some of the nation’s very best athletics department administrators,” said Keenum. “After an extensive review of those outstanding candidates, I am convinced that in Zac Selmon we found an outstanding leader with a servant’s heart – a leader who has extensive experience at two Power Five universities and who understands and shares our relentless commitment to achieving and maintaining excellence in our Bulldog athletics programs – all of them.”
As a son and nephew of the famed “Selmon Brothers” (University of Oklahoma’s Lucious, Lee Roy, and Dewey Selmon of Eufaula, Oklahoma), Keenum said Zac Selmon “grew up with powerful examples of winning at the highest levels and doing so with a deep commitment to sportsmanship and scholarship. Winning and winning the right way is in Zac Selmon’s DNA.”
Keenum said Selmon’s “servant’s heart” and his relevant Power Five athletics administration experience were “key components” in the appointment of Selmon.
“We’ve talked about the Selmons and their great football legacy. Zac’s experience as a successful student-athlete at Wake Forest is an important component as is his relevant athletics administration experience,” Keenum said. “But I think my focus during the interview process was how seamlessly Zac’s values of family, faith and character align with those of Mississippi State University.”
With his extended family, Selmon has been an active part of a multi-generational effort to bring help and healing to those at home and abroad who struggle with poverty, homelessness, lack of education, and for many, a lack of hope. He and his sister Shannon are co-founders of the Shine Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to serving those in need, especially children, at home and abroad.
Selmon accepted the position as MSU’s 18th athletics director after having an accomplished career at the University of Oklahoma on the executive leadership team. As deputy athletics director for external engagement and advancement, he led OU Athletics’ stakeholder relations including the Sooner Club and annual giving. Selmon provided sport oversight for football and led strategic communications, marketing, licensing, multi-media rights, brand management and fan engagement.
In his previous five-year position as senior associate athletics director for administration and development, Selmon led the fundraising strategy for OU Athletics’ $200 million capital campaign, setting annual giving records in 2018 and 2019. In 2020, philanthropic giving reached its highest in university athletics history.
“This is an incredibly exciting opportunity and a professional journey that I’m ready to begin,” said Selmon. “I want to thank Dr. Keenum for his confidence in me. I’m grateful to my family for preparing me from an early age to work hard and trust in God. I have a deep and abiding respect for Mississippi State’s traditions and the role this university plays in taking care of what matters in this state and nation. My family and I are eager to join the Bulldog family.”
Along with his celebrated family, Zac Selmon has learned from and worked for two well-known and respected university athletics directors—North Carolina’s Bubba Cunningham and OU’s Joe Castiglione. He served as associate athletics director and special assistant to Cunningham at UNC before heading west to OU to join Castiglione as senior associate athletics director, chief of operations, in 2015.
At Wake Forest University, Selmon not only became a four-year starter at tight end for the Demon Devils, but a dean’s list scholar graduating in 2007 with a degree in religion and international studies. He also holds a 2010 OU master’s degree in education with an emphasis in intercollegiate athletics administration.
Selmon and his wife Rachel have two daughters, Shayne and Rylee.
Keenum thanked Interim Athletics Director, and Kosciusko native, Bracky Brett for his service: “The continued success MSU has enjoyed during the search would not have been possible without the steady hand, hard work and wisdom of Bracky Brett. Our university, our fan base, owes you a tremendous debt of gratitude.” Brett, a 20-year veteran administrator at MSU, serves as executive senior athletics director for compliance.

No more TikTok on state-issued cellphones. Or laptops. Governor Reeves has told agency and department heads he’s banning the video-sharing mobile app on those devices and ordering access to TikTok blocked on the state’s network because of its ties to the Chinese government. Reeves says it’s no secret that the Chinese are trying to steal intellectual property and personal information in the U-S. And he says banning TikTok will help protect the state’s sensitive information and critical infrastructure. State employees have until the end of the month to remove the app from their state-issued devices.

Mississippi House Speaker pro tem, and Kosciusko native, Jason White told Breezy News he expects surplus funds and infrastructure to dominate this year’s session of the Mississippi Legislature.
“This 2023 Legislative Session on the eve of elections this coming Fall will center around the surplus of funds in state coffers and how that money should be spent,” said White. “There will also be further discussion on infrastructure improvements with both American Rescue Plan dollars as well as State monies.
White and other Mississippi legislators returned to the Capitol Tuesday to begin the 2023 session.
Other topics of debate according to White will be healthcare and the state’s ballot initiative.
“Also, [legislators will be] addressing the healthcare situation as it relates to hospitals, specifically rural hospitals, as well as health insurance for uninsured working folks that don’t qualify for Medicaid. Another issue I expect that will produce legislation will be restoring our ballot initiative process.”
Additionally, Emily Wagster Pettus with the Associated Press reports that the session could have a large focus on tax debates as Speaker of the House Phillip Gunn wants lawmakers to follow through on eliminating the state’s income tax, while Lt. Gov. Delbert Hoseman is pushing for an income tax rebate.

Check your tree to ensure their is no faulty wiring in the lights and also keep your tree well watered daily to avoided dryness, which might possibly cause a fire and burn the presents. We have had quite a year so don’t concern yourself about the carb count or amount of icing on the cookies, just don’t tell Ms Claus. And one more thing my children, no matter what your age old or young, adult or not, remember my boy Rudolph. Don’t bully someone over differences, seek common ground, work together.

TVA and CENTRAL ELECTRIC POWER ASSOCIATION MEDIA ADVISORY
Public Power Team Working to Keep Consumers Warm
Cold temperatures across the area are placing additional demands on the power system, and
CENTRAL EPA team members are working hard to ensure you remain safe and warm.
Until the temperature moderates, residents can help reduce their future power bills – and help
ensure continued reliable power for the area – by taking a few simple actions:
• Turning thermostats down just a degree or two makes a big difference. For every degree
below 68 degrees, the savings could be as much as three percent of your future power
bills. CENTRAL EPA is taking its own advice and has lowered the thermostats in its own
facilities.
• Delay using large appliances like dishwashers, washing machines and electric dryers
during peak demand periods – typically between 6 and 9 o’clock in the evening and
morning hours.
• If the weather is sunny, open your window coverings on the sunny side of the house to let
nature’s heat help keep you comfortable. Keep the window coverings closed on shaded
sides to help add insulation to keep the heat indoors.
During temperature extremes, don’t forget to check on relatives, friends and neighbors to
ensure their safety. Pets and livestock will also need a helping hand to remain safe.
For any questions, please contact your local Central Electric Power Association office.

(The blimp pictured above is similar to the one which made an emergency landing in Kosciusko during World War II)
It was early on a late fall day in Kosciusko. Bing Crosby may have been playing on the radio. Dec. 6, 1943. Exactly 79 years ago today.
Ellis Boswell was 10 years old, asleep in his bed, unaware of what was about to happen. “What woke me up was my mother’s chickens in the backyard,” Boswell said. “They were cuttin’ up. We didn’t know what in the world had happened unless it was a hawk out there or something.”
But what was flying low over his house was no bird. It was a 250-foot blimp– the kind the Navy used at the height of World War Two.
NEWSREEL NARRATOR: “Designed for offshore patrol duty, these non-rigid ships can cruise at great heights over coastal areas maintaining constant watch for hostile vessels above or below the surface.”
And that’s what Lt. Commander Clayton Janecky and his ten-member crew had been doing. “We were flying anti-submarine patrol in the Gulf,” Janecky said.
But they were blown way off course in a storm and were running low on fuel. “The engineer said ‘It’s on empty. You’re just flying on the fumes in the tank’,” Janecky said. “So we knew we had to do something really fast.”
By a stroke of luck, the blimp wound up over a small town. And not just any small town.
“We happened to be just fairly close to Kosciusko.”
Janecky flew low enough for one of the sailors to jump to the ground and start rounding up people to help bring the blimp in for a safe landing. “We roused the townspeople and the town responded.”
Ellis Boswell, who’s now 89, said it’s something he’ll never forget. “Everybody just ran from the schoolroom, started running out to it. The whole school emptied out.” Boswell rode his bike toward the cow pasture known as Strayhorn Field where a crowd of men had already gathered to grab hold of the heavy ropes that were dropped to the ground. And even though he was only a fifth-grader, Boswell was allowed to join in.
“It was right over there, between here and that tree,” Boswell said during a visit to the field, pointing out the spot where the blimp landed almost eight decades ago. “Most of the people that were there were holding down the blimp. I know there were about 300 there holding down the blimp. There were a lot of other people walking around there too. I guess it was a total of 500 people out there. It would have been a good day to pull a bank robbery in Kosciusko ’cause all the cops were out here too, I think.”
Once the blimp was safely secured and more fuel was on the way, Boswell said a trailer was brought in as a makeshift stage complete with a PA system. “And we got all of the pilots and the crew members off that ship (to speak). I think there was four or five of ’em. They thanked everybody for everything.” They told the crowd they couldn’t have stayed in the air much longer– maybe five minutes.
The blimp was in Kosciusko for about two hours. And then the crew gave instructions on when to let go of the ropes and the engines were started, the blimp lifting off, heading back to its base in Houma, Louisiana.
This special chapter in Kosciusko’s history is largely forgotten. Except for those who lived it. Like Ellis Boswell.
“That was an exciting day.”
When a group of men and schoolboys literally pulled together to save a dozen sailors who were in desperate need of some helping hands.

Kosciusko High School is one of 70 Mississippi high schools that received a prestigious 2021 College Success Award recognition from GreatSchools.org for excelling at preparing students to enroll and succeed in college as determined by available data in each state.
That was announced Tuesday by the Mississippi Department of Education.
GreatSchools.org is the nation’s leading nonprofit providing school information to parents and families and has conducted the College Success Award annually since 2018.
Mississippi schools recognized for 2021 are among 1,838 high schools from 25 states that demonstrated a successful track record of graduating students who enroll in two- or four-year college, are ready for college-level coursework, and persist on to their second year. School, district and state education leaders in these 25 states were undeterred by the pandemic’s challenges and provided the critical data transparency needed to help communities understand paths to success from high school to college.
Kosciusko High School ranked above the state average in college and career readiness.
“We applaud Mississippi schools for prioritizing high-quality public education, putting students on the path to bright futures,” said Jon Deane, CEO of GreatSchools.org. “Over the past two years, students, parents, teachers and communities have relied on one another like never before. We congratulate and thank everyone for their unwavering pursuit of college success for all students.”

Mississippi legislators are working to set a new way for people to petition to put issues on statewide ballots, months after the state Supreme Court tossed out the old initiative process.
