Harrison County signs contract with Acadian Ambulance Service, ousting AMR after 50 years
SUMMARY: One month after deciding to switch emergency services providers, Harrison County officials have unanimously contracted Acadian Ambulance Service, replacing the previously used American Medical Response (AMR) after issues with the latter's response times. Acadian, which owns a sizable fleet of ambulances and aircraft for medical transport, was highly recommended by a county committee. The service will begin on April 30, excluding Gulfport and Biloxi, which have chosen Pafford EMS. Pafford is setting up facilities in the region, though Gulfport is not allowing docking stations. Pafford currently has no facilities south of Jackson.

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).

Damages were reported in Jefferson Davis (5 homes), Lincoln (3 homes), and Smith (1 home, 5 businesses) Counties.

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.
