One state funded scholarship program focuses on traditional students, while the second is geared toward older, returning students.
Bills passed out of the Mississippi Senate Universities and Colleges Committee this week that seek to ensure the financial literacy of students, amend a current state funded financial aid assistance program, and address workforce shortages across the state by offering aid to non-traditional students.

In finding portions of Mississippi’s home health agency “Certificate of Need” laws unconstitutional, U.S. District Court judge Carlton Reeves said, “the Court cannot escape the absurdity in maintaining an out-right moratorium for over forty years.”
A federal judge on Wednesday struck down Mississippi’s decades-old moratorium on new home health agencies, ruling the state’s blanket ban on new licenses violates the Fourteenth Amendment.

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.

Robert St. John says some drinks come and go. Trends pass through fast and leave just as quickly. Iced tea never left.
Iced tea has been called the house wine of the South. Rick Bragg once wrote that a glass of iced tea can tell you just about everything you need to know about where you are and who you’re with, and he wasn’t wrong. Around here, iced tea is just part of how things are done. It shows up early and sticks around.

Below is a religion column by Matt Friedeman:
May we follow Paul’s example, cherishing and celebrating older men or women who have spent their lives in faithful service to God and others.
In a recent discipleship group meeting, as we were reading in 1 Timothy, one of the guys pointed out a verse on “widows” and commented, “Man, that is a perfect picture of the abundant life…a life well-lived.” It was. It is!

Pearl River's Jaycee Holifield (Laurel; Stringer) touches home after belting a walk-off home run against Bishop State. It was her second long ball of the doubleheader.
Patience and speed were the recipe for success Wednesday afternoon in Pearl River softball's season opener against Bishop State. The Wildcats used 16 walks and 13 stolen bases to secure a sweep, winning the games 11-2 and 10-1 in five innings each.
"We were really aggressive today — a little too aggressive at times," head coach Christie Meeks said. "That's something we can continue to work on and learn from. I'm so proud of our team — especially our pitching staff. These girls all care for each other and root for each other so much."
