SUMMARY: Johnny Beck, representing Community in Action from Philadelphia, is working to bring softball and baseball back to West Side Park. The park has historical significance as a place where many in the community grew up playing baseball. Currently, the fields are vacant and the Community Action group is working with park board members and the mayor to restore them. Registration for youth sports is currently ongoing in Philadelphia, offering kids a positive activity to keep them off the streets and provide a mentoring and coaching environment. Those interested can call Johnny's number to get involved. Additionally, severe storms are expected, so residents are urged to download the WT weather app for updates.

SUMMARY: Cicadas are making a lot of noise near ITA Agricultural High School in Mississippi, where they are being used as an educational tool by teachers. While some find the noise irritating, teachers are incorporating the cicadas' life cycle into their lessons. However, for residents living near wooded areas, the cicadas' loud singing can be a nuisance. Experts say the cicadas will start to clear out in early June. Despite the annoyance, the cicadas serve as a natural phenomenon that offers educational opportunities and a chance to learn more about their life cycle. Gabe Mayor from WTV A9 News reported on the noisy bugs.

The cicadas are screaming, and though it may be annoying, one school says they are a helpful tool.
