SUMMARY: Fred Wicker Boulevard, a newly named stretch of Highway 15 in Ponto, honors the legacy of Fred Wicker, a former circuit court judge and state senator. His son, U.S. Senator Roger Wicker, highlighted his father’s efforts to improve Mississippi’s highways in the late 1960s. As college football season begins, traffic is expected to rise around towns like Oxford and Starkville, prompting the Mississippi Department of Transportation to launch their “Road to Game Day” campaign for safer travel. Additionally, local businesses near Northeast Mississippi Community College anticipate increased patronage as the community supports the football season.

Local businesses in Booneville say they see an increase in sales when football season starts.

SUMMARY: In a recent “Wellness Wednesday” segment, Dr. Quinn discusses the impact of technology on health. He highlights both benefits, such as increased access to health information, and drawbacks, including reduced physical activity and disrupted sleep patterns due to screen exposure. Dr. Quinn observes that technology often distracts users, leading to time loss and decreased engagement in daily activities. He suggests a technology detox, advocating for 24-hour breaks from social media to foster mental well-being. Additionally, he notes that prolonged screen time can cause eye strain and reduce active learning opportunities, particularly among students using AI for schoolwork.
