Independent investigation underway into perpetual power outages in Holly Springs area
SUMMARY: Residents of Holly Springs have endured frequent power outages for five years without adequate explanation. Northern District Public Service Commissioner Chris Brown alerted the public to the issues, which include an unreplaced transformer and safety concerns that discourage outside help. In response, Mississippi lawmakers enacted Senate Bill 2453, allowing the Public Service Commission to investigate utility providers. An independent firm, Silverpoint Consulting, has been hired to assess the Holly Springs Utility Department. Brown is optimistic about potential solutions as local leaders collaborate with regulators to address the ongoing power issues affecting over 80% of customers outside city limits.

SUMMARY: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will not open the Bonnet Carré Spillway amid Louisiana flood concerns, providing relief to south Mississippians. Lt. Gov. Delbert Hosemann urged the agency to seek alternatives, as past openings harmed marine life and the local economy. Experts confirmed river levels won’t require the spillway’s opening, averting a potential crisis. Meanwhile, in Vicksburg, the Mississippi River crested above flood stage, causing some road flooding. Despite this, water levels remain in moderate flood warning and are expected to recede soon. Flood control efforts continue, with conditions improving by mid-May.

SUMMARY: Edgar Vasquez Silva was born in Mexico and brought to the U.S. at age three. Now a sheriff’s deputy in Mississippi, he is not a naturalized citizen but holds pride in his community. Limited work options led him to construction until the 2012 DACA program enabled him lawful employment and a path to law enforcement. Despite restrictions barring him from patrol duties, he serves helping bridge communication with Hispanic residents. Silva remains hopeful for a permanent DACA solution amid ongoing legal challenges. He expresses gratitude for America and desires citizenship, viewing himself as a valued community member contributing to public safety.

SUMMARY: Mississippi College in Clinton fosters musical talent through its Department of Music and beyond. Students like Nate Brock, who formed the band Broken Halos during the COVID-19 pandemic, combine indie rock with Southern influences. The Institute for Southern Storytelling, originally focused on literature, now supports student musicians by offering unique opportunities like live recordings. Students like Gabe Williams, a Christian solo artist, use the institute’s resources to create music with spiritual themes. These “dorm-room producers” are proving that creativity and community are key to launching successful musical careers, even without formal training or access to professional studios.
