NFL star helps unveil vending machine with free opioid-fighting medicine
SUMMARY: Tennessee Titans defensive end Jeffery Simmons is supporting Mississippi through youth football camps and public health efforts. After hosting a free camp in Starkville, Simmons helped unveil a naloxone vending machine at Jackson Medical Mall, providing free opioid overdose medication to combat rising overdose cases in the capital. Naloxone rapidly reverses opioid overdoses and saves lives by bridging time until medical help arrives. Simmons, featured in Fund Recovery’s “Tackle Overdose Now” campaign, chose Jackson for its high overdose rates. Mississippi saw a drop in suspected overdose deaths from over 200 in 2023 to 146 in 2024, partly credited to naloxone distribution. Simmons emphasizes youth support as key to the future.

AMR equipping ambulances with AI technology aimed at curbing accidents
SUMMARY: American Medical Response (AMR) ambulances in central Mississippi have started using AI-powered dash cameras to enhance safety. These cameras act as always-alert co-pilots, scanning roads and vehicle cabins to detect risks like sudden lane intrusions. When a hazard is detected, the system gives an audio alert, helping drivers react faster. This technology improves situational awareness amid heavy traffic, distracted drivers, and bad weather. Early tests show it eliminated 100% of near-collisions and reduced on-road risks by 60% in three months. Installation on all AMR vehicles in the region is ongoing and expected to finish this summer.

‘No red flags’: Chris Beard remains hopeful French guard can soon arrive at Ole Miss
SUMMARY: The Ole Miss basketball team has been active with team-building and workouts, but new French guard Ilias Kamardine has yet to arrive due to visa and eligibility delays. Coach Chris Beard explained that processing of I-20 forms, necessary for nonimmigrant student status, has been slow following a temporary pause on visa appointments affecting international students. Beard remains optimistic that these issues will be resolved well before the 2026-27 season starts. Kamardine, a 6-foot-5 athletic guard who starred in France and led his team to a U20 Eurobasket title, will undergo a catch-up process once he joins the team. Meanwhile, the roster is being revamped with numerous transfers and newcomers alongside returning players Malik Dia and Eduardo Klafke.
