Broadband director seeking public’s help to ensure accuracy in high-speed internet map
SUMMARY: Mississippi is investing millions to expand high-speed internet access, but corrective action is needed as some areas marked as having quality service actually experience slow internet. Sally Doty, director of the Office of Broadband Expansion and Accessibility of Mississippi (BEAM), is urging residents to report discrepancies by challenging their broadband map status. The map, which uses colored dots to indicate service levels, may contain errors during recent data updates. Doty emphasizes that residents in gray-marked areas should report issues so they can receive the federal assistance intended for unserved or underserved locations. Challenges can be filed through the designated portal.

SUMMARY: Mississippi health officials are urging residents to quit smoking to reduce their risk of developing type 2 diabetes, especially during National Diabetes Month. Smoking increases the likelihood of diabetes by 30-40% and adversely affects insulin effectiveness. The Mississippi State Department of Health offers free support programs for those quitting smoking and diabetes management, including counseling and resources for nicotine replacement. With about 1 in 7 Mississippians living with diabetes, the state ranks among the highest in the nation for diabetes rates. Health officials emphasize that diabetes is preventable and manageable through lifestyle changes and medical support.

SUMMARY: Deon Jones’s journey on season 26 of The Voice ended during the knockout rounds as he was eliminated after a captivating performance of “Nutbush City.” Dressed in an eye-catching red suit, Jones impressed coaches with his stage presence and dance moves, but lost out to fellow contestants Jose Luis and Camryn Brooks, both on Gwen Stefani’s team. Earlier in the competition, Reba McEntire had chosen another contestant over Jones, but Stefani later used her steal to keep him in the competition. Despite his strong performances, the competition proved too intense as he was sent home.
