Rebecca Karl named 2023 State Queen by TOPS
SUMMARY: Rebecca Carl of Mississippi received statewide recognition as the 2023 Topps Queen by the international weight loss program, Take Off Pounds Sensibly (TOPS), for her impressive weight loss journey. Struggling with her fitness goals, Carl turned to prayer and her sister, eventually joining the TOPS program. Initially, she faced challenges in committing to meetings, exercise, and nutrition. However, she realized her relationship with food was akin to an addiction. With spiritual guidance and motivation from fellow TOPS members, she shed over 70 pounds, reaching her goal weight of 165 pounds. Carl now aims to inspire and empower others in their weight loss journeys.
If you're looking for a true sentiment of dedication and determination, look no further than Carriere native Rebecca Karl.

Work on Beachview Bridge paused to move water, sewer lines
SUMMARY: Much-needed repairs to the Beach View Drive bridge in Gulf Park Estates are delayed until water and sewer lines are moved. The bridge is currently suitable for cars and SUVs but not for large school buses and trucks. County road crews are ready to reinforce the bridge, but a private utility company must first relocate the attached water and sewer mains. Jackson County Supervisor Randy Bosar noted challenges due to the utility's recent change in ownership. The bridge will eventually be rebuilt as part of a widening plan for Gulf View Drive, with the first phase beginning soon. The construction contract may be awarded at Monday's board meeting.
