SUMMARY: John highlights the importance of the heart and CPR in saving lives. Al Wright from North Mississippi Emergency Services explains that sudden cardiac arrest causes death every 90 seconds, and hands-only CPR can help by circulating oxygenated blood to the brain and organs. CPR classes last 15-20 minutes and teach chest compressions without mouth-to-mouth breathing, emphasizing the importance of rhythm and practice on mannequins. North Mississippi EMS offers free CPR and first aid workshops. CPR can mean the difference between life and death, since EMS response typically takes 5-10 minutes, but brain damage starts within 4 minutes. Classes can be scheduled by calling 662-844-5870.

SUMMARY: Governor Tate Reeves announced Mississippi’s “Power Play” initiative, aiming to lead the nation in energy production. The plan seeks to address the state’s energy deficit, as it consumes nearly four times more energy than it produces. Reeves outlined three goals: cut red tape, attract investment, and establish Mississippi as a national energy model. The initiative emphasizes faster permit approvals, investments in traditional and renewable energy, and exploring small modular nuclear reactors. Reeves hopes to lay the foundation for sustainable growth, even after his tenure, positioning Mississippi as a key player in the energy sector.
