SUMMARY: A local nonprofit, Petal Healing Garden, is collaborating with the Forest County Agricultural Extension Office on the Grow a Row program to combat food insecurity. Volunteers can participate after completing a food safety course led by Jesse Tisdale. The program not only helps with food donations but also offers a chance for the community to reconnect with gardening, filling a gap left by the loss of agricultural education in local schools. Proceeds from the initiative will benefit the Edwards Street food pantry and the Petal Children’s Task Force in Hattiesburg.

One local agricultural extension office is teaming up with a local vegetable garden owner to train others on growing produce to combat hunger in the Pine Belt.

After attempting to pull over a driver, Walker collided with a tree, leading to the driver’s arrest. Allegations include Walker slamming the individual onto a car hood and kicking him in the head while he was handcuffed.

The Department of Public Safety, noting the absence of body cameras during the incident, emphasizes accountability and transparency in law enforcement.
