SUMMARY: Dr. Andrea Carter emphasizes the importance of annual checkups for women, highlighting the need for regular pelvic and breast exams to detect diseases like cervical and ovarian cancer. She is concerned that many women are not taking their health seriously, possibly due to misinformation and myths about the frequency of checkups. Delaying checkups could result in missed opportunities for early detection and treatment of serious health issues. Annual exams can improve overall health and potentially save lives. It is crucial for women to prioritize their health and schedule regular appointments with their healthcare provider. Visit the website for more information on Women's Health Week and resources.

SUMMARY: A woman named Bethann White received one of the longest sentences ever handed down in Hinds County for causing a deadly drunk driving collision that killed a mother and child and severely injured two other daughters. The judge cited White's lack of remorse as a factor in his decision. White's defense attorney immediately filed an appeal, arguing that the state failed to prove her blood alcohol content was above the legal limit at the time of the crash.

SUMMARY: Thalia Mara Hall, the showcase stage for international ballet performances in the capital city, received 1 million dollars in state appropriations. The funding will be used for heating and cooling improvements, as well as other cosmetic enhancements to improve visitor and performance experiences. Other projects in the capital city, such as improvements to Parkway at Jackson State and major thoroughfares around the university, Union Station, Hinds County Courthouse, and Hinds County Sheriff's Office, also received funding from the state. Despite limited resources, state lawmakers allocated funds for various infrastructure improvements in different areas, benefitting cities like Brandon that cannot afford critical projects on their own.
