Dove hunters reminded to avoid shooting power lines
SUMMARY: As dove season approaches in Mississippi, power cooperatives are warning hunters about the dangers of hunting near power and fiber lines. Shooting doves while perched on these lines may seem like an easy shot, but it can lead to damage that interrupts power service and is expensive to fix. In the past, a hunting season cost over $100,000 in damages in just one night, with repairs costing over $25,000. The cooperatives are urging hunters to be mindful of where they are shooting, as it not only affects the power system but also the safety of their friends and neighbors. Shooting at these lines is also against the law and could result in vandalism charges and repair costs.
Hunters are getting ready for dove season in Mississippi, and local power cooperatives are reminding them about safe shooting around power and fiber lines.
SUMMARY: Governor Tate Reeves announced Mississippi’s “Power Play” initiative, aiming to lead the nation in energy production. The plan seeks to address the state’s energy deficit, as it consumes nearly four times more energy than it produces. Reeves outlined three goals: cut red tape, attract investment, and establish Mississippi as a national energy model. The initiative emphasizes faster permit approvals, investments in traditional and renewable energy, and exploring small modular nuclear reactors. Reeves hopes to lay the foundation for sustainable growth, even after his tenure, positioning Mississippi as a key player in the energy sector.

SUMMARY: The Catholic Diocese of Jackson reflects on Pope Francis’ impactful legacy, highlighting his message of joy and simplicity. Mary Woodward, Chancellor of the Diocese, admired the dignity and simplicity of the Pope’s funeral, which exemplified his approach to life and leadership. Francis’ focus on marginalized communities and his efforts to build bridges rather than walls earned him respect across faiths, even among non-believers. His funeral was a significant moment, marked by images of the Pope at the Cathedral of Saint Peter in Jackson, with a red cloth symbolizing his connection to the Apostle Peter.
