SUMMARY: Holocaust survivor Irene Skolnick shared her harrowing story in Gulfport, reflecting on her life after Nazi Germany invaded Poland when she was just two. Skolnick expressed deep gratitude to the United States for saving her family, recounting how her mother pretended to be Catholic to protect them. About 80 attendees listened attentively, recognizing the importance of remembering such narratives as Holocaust survivors become scarce. Rabbi Akiva Hall emphasized the resilience of the Jewish people despite historical persecutions. Skolnick urged the audience to be mindful of propaganda and to seek diverse sources of information to shape informed conclusions.

Irene Skolnick was just two years old when Nazi Germany invaded Poland in 1939.

SUMMARY: A special election has been scheduled for April in Pearl River County following the discovery of two illegal votes in the recent tax assessor and collector race. Governor Tate Reeves announced the election date after court documents revealed that illegal votes affected the runoff results between Sandy Cain Smith and Joe Lynn Houston. The runoff was originally decided by just three votes in Picayune’s south side precincts. Due to the narrow margin and the invalid ballots, voters in two precincts will return to the polls to ensure a fair and accurate outcome for the county tax assessor and collector position.

The special election for the Tax Collector/Assessor in Pearl River County will also be held on November 4, 2025.
