Newspapers Aren’t Just for Reading…Read On
SUMMARY: Last weekend, while using old newspapers to wash windows, I considered their many purposes beyond reading. My mother taught me to use vinegar, water, and newspapers to prevent streaks; a tip likely passed down from her mother or Heloise's Hints. Newspapers, better than rags or paper towels, leave windows squeaky-clean. Besides cleaning, newspapers are excellent fire starters, wrapping fragile items, and protecting surfaces during messy projects. They also serve as barriers, liners, and wrapping materials. Clippings of obituaries, sports photos, and wedding announcements found in old newspapers make sentimental keepsakes. Newspapers, whether read or repurposed, remain valuable in various household tasks.

SUMMARY: As summer reaches its midpoint, the Fourth of July is a time to celebrate with flags, remember our heritage, and enjoy food with loved ones. Initially, I considered writing about flag displays or the historic July 2, 1776, independence declaration. Instead, I focused on sharing food tips, including a burger tip with chopped onions and peppers from Bess Robbins. For your Independence Day meal, I recommend a Sour Cream Flag Cake and a Watermelon Feta Flag Salad, both featuring patriotic colors. The cake includes layers of strawberries and blueberries, while the salad combines arugula, watermelon, and feta, dressed with a lemony vinaigrette. Bon Appetit!

SUMMARY: The University of Southern Mississippi (USM) and the Science Center for Marine Fisheries (SCEMFIS) collaborate to enhance the Mississippi Gulf Coast's blue economy through research and internships. USM graduate students, Molly Spencer and Catherine Wilhelm, gained hands-on experiences via the NSF Internship Program, focusing on climate change and fishery management. Spencer researched the impact of climate-induced warming on Atlantic surfclam and ocean quahog, fostering her passion for fisheries. Wilhelm developed a data portal for Gulf menhaden management, securing a position at the Virginia Marine Resources Commission. SCEMFIS supports research, internships, and career development in marine science.
