Columbus city leaders take to streets to best decide how to fix them
SUMMARY: Columbus city leaders in Mississippi are working to determine how to allocate $7 million for street repairs. The city's engineer has been driving around the city to identify problem areas and will be meeting with City Council members to prioritize which streets to focus on. The most traveled and visible streets will likely receive special attention. There is also discussion of using some of the funds to address flooding and drainage issues in areas with fewer street concerns.

SUMMARY: Three puppies were rescued from a dumpster at a truck stop along I-55 in Hernando, dehydrated and hungry. Security guard JC Thomas found them and took them to the Tunica Humane Society. The puppies, named Cookie Monster, Oscar, and Grover, were in a bad condition but are now safe and up for adoption. The incident has sparked outrage towards the person who abandoned them and gratitude towards Thomas for rescuing them. The puppies were seen playing at the Humane Society and will soon be available for adoption at Hollywood Feed in Southaven. Thomas, a huge animal lover, is glad he was able to save them.

SUMMARY: Mississippi state employees had a day off for Confederate Memorial Day, a holiday to remember Confederate soldiers. Columbus, MS, has over 2,000 Confederate soldiers buried at Friendship Cemetery, along with Union soldiers. The holiday began in 1866 with the city's ladies honoring both Confederate and Union soldiers. This gesture of reconciliation inspired a national Memorial Day. Representative Kabir Karriem has tried to abolish Confederate Memorial Day, but his bills have not passed. The holiday's unique history in Columbus highlights the theme of reconciliation and unity in honoring all fallen soldiers.
