A full-circle moment awaits Shane Beamer
SUMMARY: Before becoming the head coach of South Carolina, Shane Beamer had his first full-time coaching job at Mississippi State in 2004, under head coach Sylvester Croom. Beamer met his wife Emily while working at MSU, and their story began in the press box at Davis Wade Stadium. Now, as Beamer faces Mississippi State as the head coach of South Carolina, it is a full-circle moment for the couple. They are excited to have a reunion in Columbia, and Emily's friends from Starkville are planning on wearing colors similar to both teams. The game will take place on Saturday at Williams Brice Stadium.

Mississippi sees high number of job openings
SUMMARY: Mississippi's economy is thriving with many job openings, but not enough people to fill them. Occupations in high demand include registered nurses, fast food workers, retail sales, general managers, first-line supervisors, and physicians. The state has a low unemployment rate, with jobs available in various sectors including healthcare, manufacturing, education, retail, transportation, and public administration. The mass exodus of Baby Boomers, early retirements, and the impact of the coronavirus pandemic have contributed to the mismatch between job openings and applicants. Experts note a shortage of workers in the hospitality industry and believe that many who left the job market are now returning.

CPD sends message to parents with Operation T-B.O.N.E.
SUMMARY: The Columbus Police Department is cracking down on crime with Operation T-B.O.N.E, targeting neighborhoods to reduce violence. The recent arrest of two brothers for possession of stolen firearms and drugs prompted the involvement of their mother in the investigation. Chief Joseph Daughtry emphasized the importance of community involvement, urging people to provide tips and information to help combat crime. The CPD is increasing patrols in high-crime areas and making more traffic stops, aiming to make it uncomfortable for criminals. The slogan “Tippin' ain't snitchin'” underscores the importance of reporting criminal activity without fear of retaliation.
