Former governor inducted into Mississippi Gaming Hall of Fame
SUMMARY: Former Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour and former state representative Bobby Moak have been inducted into the Mississippi Gaming Hall of Fame. They were recognized for their role in helping the state's casino industry rebuild after Hurricane Katrina. Chevis Swetman, president of People's Bank, was also honored for his contributions in launching Mississippi's gaming industry in the 1990s and keeping the casinos afloat during crises such as Katrina, the housing market collapse, and the BP oil spill. The Engelstad Family Foundation, which previously owned the IP Casino Resort Spa, was also recognized for its support of the Mississippi Coast community after Katrina.

SUMMARY: Mississippi State University is launching the Dr. Elton Mac Huddleston Rural Veterinarians Scholarship to address a shortage of large animal veterinarians in rural Mississippi. Supported by House Bill 1210, the program will provide scholarships to veterinary students who commit to practicing in underserved rural areas, with a focus on food supply animals. The incentive includes loan repayment assistance for current veterinarians seeking further large animal training. The university has received $18 million to upgrade its veterinary facilities in support of the initiative starting this fall, with penalties for recipients who don't fulfill their practice obligations.

SUMMARY: Severe weather in Mississippi on May 12-13 caused one fatality and property damage, according to the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency (MEMA). Patricia Williamson, 68, from Sicily Island, LA, died when the vehicle she was in hit a tree in Wilkinson County. Another individual was injured in Lawrence County. Damages were reported in Jefferson Davis (5 homes), Lincoln (3 homes), and Smith (1 home, 5 businesses) Counties. With roads still blocked by fallen trees, MEMA advises residents to submit insurance claims and report damage through their online tool. More updates on assessments are expected as counties continue their evaluations.

SUMMARY: Doug Barron, a golf journeyman, claimed his first PGA Tour Champions major by winning the Regions Tradition in Birmingham, Alabama, after a subdued career following his 1992 graduation from Mississippi State. He finished at 17-under 271, outpacing Steven Alker and legends like Ernie Els and Padraig Harrington. Barron, who also runs a golf academy, faced a low point in 2009 when the PGA suspended him for doping—a ban lifted in 2010 after a legal dispute. Since joining the senior circuit in 2019, Barron, 54, has surpassed his career PGA Tour earnings, totaling over $4.2 million.
