SUMMARY: The Jackson Zoo is at risk of being shut down due to budget cuts, as city council president, Aaron Banks, believes it is not cost-effective. However, residents are against the idea of closing the zoo. As city leaders search for additional revenue for next year's budget, tough decisions need to be made. Council members are unhappy to learn that the city's property insurance is increasing by $2 million, adding to the financial burden. Additionally, they must find revenue to fund a pay raise. The city's mayor's communications director appreciates thoughtful analysis on budget matters.

SUMMARY: Chef Katie Dixon from Birdy's Cafe in Mississippi shares her recipe for a favorite Farm to Table dish featuring local vegetables. The dish includes cabbage steaks, butterbean puree, and chimichurri salsa. She starts by slicing and seasoning purple cabbage, then grilling it on medium heat. Meanwhile, she blends butterbeans with pepper, salt, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, and reserved butterbean liquid to make a puree, which forms the dish's base. To finalize, she creates a salsa with parsley, red wine vinegar, onions, pepper, salt, lime juice, red pepper, and garlic. The grilled cabbage steaks are topped with the salsa and served over the puree.

SUMMARY: Recent cemetery vandalism in West Point, Yabish County, and Amory has drawn attention, with Sergeant Dylan Pickle's grave being notably affected. Sgt. Pickle, who served with the Monroe County Sheriff's Department, died in a traffic incident nearly four years ago. Visitors would leave coins on his grave, which held deep personal significance for his mother, Debbie Pearson. Recently, nearly $10 in coins was stolen, leaving only 4 cents. Other graves in the area have also been targeted. Pearson's cameras previously caught someone stealing solar lights from the site. Authorities urge the public to report any such vandalism to prevent future incidents.
