SUMMARY: The University of Southern Mississippi (USM) has joined a $22 million, five-year sustainability project called the Mississippi River Delta Transition Initiative (MissDelta) alongside LSU and Tulane University. The initiative addresses the land loss at the Louisiana Bird's Foot Delta and aims to predict and manage upcoming coastal changes by evaluating the implications for marine ecosystems. USM Associate Professor Kim De Mutsert leads the university's representation, with a team examining water quality and organism responses to environmental changes, specifically the impact on valuable fisheries.

SUMMARY: The Lucedale Christmas Parade, a much-anticipated annual event, has been delighting the community since 1955, with Santa Claus as the centerpiece. The first parade featured 14 themed floats, including ones inspired by Mother Goose characters, sponsored by local clubs and organizations. Originally, in 1950, Santa would arrive escorted by the sheriff and high school band. The parade has evolved, with the Jaycees and later the Rotary Club taking over as sponsors, and the addition of a Grand Marshal started in 1990. The parade now boasts over 70 entries and is considered one of South Mississippi's best, with this year's Grand Marshals being the state champion high school girls' softball team.
