Local businesses in Starkville prepare for influx of students
SUMMARY: As summer ends, K-12 students have returned to school, with college students following soon. This influx benefits Starkville businesses, which suffer from decreased traffic during the summer months when around 20,000 residents remain. Business owners like Doug Marchinkowska and Sarah Kudijaroff adjust operations for the summer lull, managing staff and resources carefully. With the new school year at Mississippi State University starting on August 21st, local businesses are eager yet anxious about the rush of students returning. Despite potential challenges, the community looks forward to increased activity and patronage as students fill the streets once again.

SUMMARY: Catastrophic flooding in Texas over the July Fourth weekend killed at least 104 people, including 28 children, mostly near Camp Mystic, a century-old girls’ summer camp in Kerr County. Search-and-rescue teams continue to search swollen rivers for dozens still missing; officials expect the death toll to rise as more rain threatens the saturated area. Many victims were swept from cabins by flash floods early Friday, some clinging to trees. Authorities will investigate warnings and evacuation delays, noting poor cellphone service hindered alerts. Despite warnings issued before the flood, some residents didn’t receive them. President Trump plans to visit the state.
