Chronic wasting disease detected in Harrison County
SUMMARY: The Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks has announced the first positive detection of chronic wasting disease (CWD) in a hunter-harvested buck from Harrison County. This is the first confirmed case of CWD in the county. The buck was initially identified as suspect positive through testing and the results were confirmed on November 29th. CWD is a fatal neurological disease that affects deer, elk, and moose, and the discovery of this case has prompted concerns for the local wildlife population. The department is urging hunters to have harvested deer tested for CWD to help prevent further spread of the disease.
SUMMARY: Northwest Rankin High School has hired former Provine head coach, Sir Dante Washington, to lead their boys basketball program. Washington led Provine to two state semifinals in his 11 years as head coach. He brings his competitive style of play and work ethic to NWR, emphasizing the importance of hard work and daily grind. Washington replaces Josh Luckett, who is now at Clinton High School. The two coaches are good friends and will compete against each other in the upcoming season. Washington's appointment signals a new era for NWR basketball, with a focus on competitiveness and hard work.
Longtime Provine basketball coach Sirdonta Washington is now at Northwest Rankin as he takes over the Cougars boys basketball program.

SUMMARY: Gordon's Creek in Hattisburg is set to undergo significant improvements to boost ecotourism with a grant of over $2 million from the Mississippi outdoor stewardship trust fund. The project will include an 8ft pathway and pedestrian bridge connecting the Gordon's Creek linear trail with other nearby parks, an outdoor classroom, and picturesque views of the Leaf River. The goal is to change the perception of Gordon's Creek and the Leaf River from merely bodies of water to valuable assets that attract more visitors. Hattisburg's project received the most funding in this round of grants, with the hope for construction to begin next year.
Hattiesburg Mayor Toby Barker announced a significant grant from the Mississippi Outdoor Stewardship Trust Fund (MOSTF).
