Mississippi Power finishes up 2024's Renew Our Rivers program
SUMMARY: Mississippi Power is concluding its annual “Renew Our Rivers” initiative, with employees recently cleaning up the Wolf and Jordan rivers in Hancock County and the Pascagoula River near Moss Point. Environmental Affairs Director Michael Harvey highlighted the program’s role in promoting environmental stewardship while benefiting the community. This marks the 19th year of the initiative, during which over 425 tons of trash and debris have been collected across the service area. In this year’s efforts, volunteers removed unusual items, including a fridge, a deep freezer, and a small boat. Mississippi Power plans to expand the program in the coming years.
SUMMARY: The 2025 Hancock Whitney Classic’s third and final game kicks off soon at Keesler Federal Park in Biloxi, where the Southern Miss Golden Eagles face off against Nicholls. The Golden Eagles, led by Coach Christian Ostrander, aim to extend their winning streak to five games. The game also marks a homecoming for three Southern Miss players, including Carson Pedo, who returns to play at the park where his brother made a name. The first pitch is scheduled for 6:05 PM. If you can’t attend, highlights will air at 9 and 10 PM on WXXV News25 Sports.
SUMMARY: In Ocean Springs, four candidates are vying for mayor in the upcoming primary election. Current mayor Kenny Holloway seeks a second term, aiming to complete ongoing projects. John Hitchcock entered the race to give residents a stronger voice, citing concerns over city meetings. Dennis McGrevy is frustrated with how the city is growing under the current administration, while Bobby Cox, the city’s alderman at large, sees the mayor’s seat as his next step after resident requests. Each candidate has a unique vision for the city’s future, with voters making their decision on April 1st.

SUMMARY: Darien Atkinson, charged with the capital murder of Biloxi police officer Robert McKian, has been deemed not competent to stand trial. A judge’s ruling stems from evaluations indicating Atkinson’s mental health has worsened over the past two years, with psychosis and symptoms consistent with schizophrenia. He has been at a state mental hospital since March 2023, showing resistance to assessments and making bizarre claims about a supposed “Matrix” program. Despite disappointment from McKian’s loved ones, officials remain hopeful that charges will not be dismissed if Atkinson’s mental state improves, allowing for a future trial.
Atkinson will continue to be held in a maximum security building at the Mississippi State Hospital in Whitfield.
