Over 430 wildfires reported as Mississippi’s burn ban continues
SUMMARY: Nearly one month ago, a burn ban was issued in 40 counties in Mississippi due to dry conditions. Since then, several more counties have been added to the ban, bringing the total to 45. The Mississippi Forestry Commission has responded to over 431 wildfires, burning over 8,700 acres statewide. The most susceptible areas to wildfire are currently on the coast and some areas in central Mississippi. The MFC has mobilized an Incident Management Team to coordinate efforts to mitigate the risk of wildfires. Outdoor burning is strictly prohibited in the affected counties, and violators will face fines. The MFC encourages residents to take precautions to protect their homes from wildfires.

SUMMARY: Brandon Williams and Miranda Trulove from Mississippi have been arrested for conspiring to defraud the state by claiming unemployment benefits for Williams while he was incarcerated. Williams would call Trulove from prison to apply for benefits on his behalf, which he then received through a debit card that she used. It's illegal in the state to obtain unemployment benefits while in prison. State Auditor Shad White emphasized the use of technology to uncover such fraud. If convicted, the couple could face up to five years in prison and $1,000 in fines each.

SUMMARY: Noah Curtis Lee and Iris Jiani Xue from Southaven, students at the Mississippi School for Mathematics and Science in Columbus, have been named 2024 U.S. Presidential Scholars. Out of the 3.7 million high school graduates this year, only 161 were recognized for their academic, artistic, or technical excellence alongside leadership and community service. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona announced the scholars, who were selected through evaluations, essays, and standardized tests. The program, since 1964, has commendably expanded to include arts and technical fields. The Class of 2024 will be celebrated with an online recognition program this summer.
