Area’s largest blood donation center makes emergency appeal for donors
SUMMARY: Vitalant South, the largest blood donation center in the Tupelo area, is making an emergency appeal for blood donors, particularly those with O blood types and platelets. The supply of blood has dropped by 25% since May, and the organization aims to keep at least a four-day supply on the shelves. With many regular donors out of town during the summer months and a decrease in blood drives due to schools being out of session, the need for blood increases. Donors who donate between July 24 and August 31 will have a chance to win one of five $2,000 gift cards.

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.

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.
