Celebration of Hope: Regional Rehabilitation Center is helping Jarred Grimes find his new normal
SUMMARY: Jared Grimes, a Tupelo man, experienced a life-altering event when a tree fell on him while playing golf with his wife, Hannah, during a tournament. Initially fearing he might become quadriplegic due to severe injuries, including a broken neck, he underwent multiple surgeries. After limited rehabilitation at another facility, he found help at Regional Rehab, a nonprofit providing weekly physical and occupational therapy at no cost. Grateful for their support, Jared is regaining his independence, participating in activities like teaching tennis and managing household chores, illustrating the transformative impact of accessible rehabilitation services.
The Regional Rehabilitation Center is helping Jarred Grimes find his new normal. Our Celebration of Hope telethon is happening on Sunday, Nov. 10.
SUMMARY: Mississippi lawmakers have approved a gas tax increase to generate funds for the Department of Transportation (MDOT). This marks the first gas tax increase since 1987, set to rise by 3 cents annually over the next three years. MDOT Executive Director Brad White emphasizes the need for additional funding as rising costs have hindered road and bridge projects. The increase is expected to provide approximately $300 million more for state and county agencies to enhance infrastructure, including widening projects on I-55 and Highway 25. The legislation awaits the governor’s signature to initiate the tax hikes.
