SUMMARY: The Mississippi Department of Transportation and Governor Tate Reeves have designated April 15th through 19th as National Work Zone Awareness Week. This marks the start of construction season, with crews focusing on making roads safe for drivers. Many crew members have lost their lives due to high-speed vehicles and distracted drivers. Drivers are urged to be cautious and slow down when approaching work zones, as worker safety is paramount. The goal is for workers to return home safely each night, and for drivers to avoid distractions while passing through work zones. Wearing orange on Wednesdays shows support for work zone safety.

SUMMARY: Ellisville State School provided an update on their Cemetery preservation project, where interns from USM helped locate buried remains of families. The interns created a digital map of the cemetery to locate sunken headstones. A professor from USM used ground penetrating radar with a 400 megahertz antenna to locate unmarked or mismarked graves. The radar sends a signal into the ground and maps where it returns to identify anomalies indicating burials. The cemetery was active from the 1920s to the 1980s, with approximately 150 people buried there. The process takes 3 to 4 hours and will result in a three-dimensional model of the area.
