One Mississippi senator wants a state law that would crack down on students using cell phones during class.
The bill requires public school districts, public charter schools and other state high schools have a cell phone policy by next January or lose a day’s worth of their state funding provided for each day a policy is not in place.

If you have followed my writing for any length of time, there should be no doubt about my love for the outside world. Whether I’m watching the foliage slowly turn from the deep green that growing seasons dictate to the fire of crimson and gold leaves gently falling to the earth, I wholeheartedly embrace the change. During the onset of the fall migration of waterfowl, I crane my neck with an ear towards the sky listening for faint cries of geese urging their leaders southward.

I have a story to tell. The story is one of the wildest rides I’ve experienced yet. On the afternoon of January 11th Mimi dropped my mother, Rita Martinson, and me off at Jackson International airport. We were bound for the East African country of Uganda. As anyone from the Northside knows, the airport is one of the most awkward places to kiss your main squeeze goodbye. They give you about 30 seconds to get your bags out of the car, get a smooch and a hug before they start hollering about the white zone is strictly for loading and unloading and moving on quickly.

Hospitals and health facilities in Mississippi are continuing to provide critical care to patients in the wake of a treacherous winter storm, even as they endure power outages, impassable roads and no running water.
Scott Simmons, Mississippi Emergency Management Authority’s external affairs director, said his agency is working to bring 30 generators to North Mississippi hospitals, long-term care facilities, nursing homes and warming centers. He said multiple locations had generators that failed over the weekend, and only some had come back online by Monday morning.

Delta State’s nationally renowned NCAA Division II baseball team was supposed to open the 2026 season Friday against Harding (Arkansas) University in Cleveland.
That won’t happen. Boo Ferriss Field at Harvey Stadium on the DSU campus in Cleveland is covered in ice and snow. At noon Monday, the temperature was 21 degrees. The wind chill was 7. The weekend forecast is for more freezing temperatures. The DSU Statesmen are sometimes called the Fighting Okra, but they would be more like Eskimos if they played this weekend.
