January 2026 is the 10th anniversary of the 2016 Mississippi River freak winter flood. It was only the third such flood ever recorded. It flooded habitat inside the levees and along the river and caused the deer season to close early.

She is only six. . .
but she has a generous helping of common sense.
I am visiting our eldest son and his family, and the youngest granddaughter, Addie Sue, and I are playing what she calls, “Babies.”
In this playing scenario, she has about a dozen of her smaller stuffed animals enrolled in “Baby School.” She has the stuffed animal students line up, go to the rest room, get lunch, and learn different skills.

Southern Miss softball head coach Natalie Poole says for the program to take the next step, performance must improve from years past.
“We’ve taken some really good steps in the program since I’ve been here,” Poole said. “But there’s some elevation that has to happen performance-wise for us to be able to do it.”
Poole, who was named head coach in the fall of 2022, enters her fourth season with a 67–82 overall record.

A Christmas service project led by volunteers with Modern Woodmen of America took on a heartfelt meaning this year as multiple chapters came together to support the Baptist Children’s Village in Water Valley an organization that once forever changed the life of one of their own.
Volunteers donated food, essential household supplies, and even a new basketball goal for the children served by the Village. But the project became especially meaningful when Sammy Frank, a longtime member, helped deliver the donations.
