EMCC hosts a cooking competition for high school students
SUMMARY: East Mississippi Community College (EMCC) hosted its second annual Golden Triangle Chopped Competition, where local high school students showcased their culinary skills. Participants from Starkville, West Point, Columbus, and Lowndes County engaged in three rounds of cooking, creating appetizers, entrees, and desserts with specific ingredients, while also answering culinary knowledge questions. EMCC’s Culinary Arts Program Director, Jakiero Dismuke, emphasized the hospitality industry’s broad job opportunities beyond just cooking, including roles in sales, event planning, and catering services. He noted local job openings that allow individuals to gain skills through on-the-job training.

SUMMARY: The Jackson Zoo received a positive evaluation from a recent USDA inspection in September 2024, with no compliance issues reported, indicating its readiness for re-licensing under the Animal Welfare Act. This follows earlier citations related to sanitation and safety concerns, including a malfunctioning cooler and rodent activity. Additionally, an incident occurred where a klipspringer was killed by a zebra. The zoo has since improved its conditions and recently hosted community events like Oktoberfest and Boo at the Zoo.

SUMMARY: The KSG Hank Aaron Sports Academy has suspended plans to establish a professional soccer team in Mississippi in collaboration with the National Independent Soccer Association (NISA) due to legal issues surrounding Smith-Wills Stadium’s deed. CEO Tim Bennett has been pursuing this initiative since 2019 and expressed disappointment over the setback. He highlighted past successful ventures with state governors, but now must focus on resolving the ongoing legal complications before determining the next steps. Despite these challenges, he remains optimistic about the potential for soccer in Mississippi by 2026.
