SUMMARY: Magnolia Beverage has been serving the community for 90 years, founded in 1934 by Mike John as one of the first beer distributors in the state. The company’s history dates back even further, starting as John’s Beverages before Prohibition. Mike John migrated from Lebanon and started the company as two grocery stores bottling soft drinks and eventually beer. Magnolia Beverage has been a big part of local events, providing support through donations. The company is grateful for the support of customers and staff, celebrating their 90 years in business. There are no big celebration plans, as they celebrate every day with a cold Miller High Life.

SUMMARY: Bevelyn Batty Williams faces 41 months in prison for violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act during a pro-life protest outside Planned Parenthood in Manhattan in June 2020. Convicted in February 2023, she was accused of intimidating and obstructing individuals seeking reproductive health services, including physically blocking access and making threats. Her husband claims her comments were misunderstood as spiritual warfare rather than actual threats. Despite being found not guilty of conspiracy related to different clinics nationwide, her actions led to a harsher sentence, with prosecutors labeling her a “ring leader” in the protests.
