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.

SUMMARY: Officials in Mississippi’s Pine Belt warn parents about “764,” an international child exploitation cult targeting youth, especially those with mental health issues. Founded by Bradley Chance Cadenhead, a Texas native serving 80 years for child pornography, the group promotes self-harm, animal abuse, sextortion, and suicidal coercion. Despite arrests of key members, the decentralized Satanist, neo-Nazi cult remains active online, infiltrating platforms like Minecraft and Roblox. Authorities urge parents to monitor their children’s online activities closely, emphasizing daily conversations and vigilance. Perry County investigator James Burch stresses parental involvement as crucial since law enforcement cannot protect every child alone.

SUMMARY: After more than 83 years, major funding has been allocated for Mississippi’s Yazoo Backwater Area Water Management Project, aimed at flood protection.

SUMMARY: For six years, McComb has faced controversy over its finances due to failure to conduct required annual audits. The Mississippi state auditor’s office notified city officials it will take over McComb’s internal audit process, citing non-compliance with state code. The city missed audits for fiscal years 2021-2024, though audits were completed for 2019 and 2020 after Mayor Lockley took office in 2018. Two CPA firms tried to resolve the issue, but progress is hindered by unkept records, despite over $80,000 spent. The state will engage auditors to complete audits, and cooperation is expected amid McComb’s uncertain financial status.
