SUMMARY: Several schools in the area, including Menen Hall and PVIS High School, went on lockdown due to fake online threats of violence. The Lamar County School District reported a post circulated using the initials “PHS,” causing panic. Meanwhile, the Simpson County Sheriff’s Department found a similar threat linked to Menen Hall, both traced back to Texas. Authorities emphasized the importance of not sharing such threats and contacting school officials or law enforcement instead. Threateners could face up to 10 years in prison, particularly if over 17 years old. George County Schools also experienced similar hoaxes recently.

SUMMARY: Don Estus, the former director of Nachas City Cemetery, passed away last week in Oxford. He became the director in 1998, driven by his passion for history, which inspired him to write “Legends of the Nachas City Cemetery” in 2009, a compilation of over 100 stories from the site. Estus also co-founded Angels on the Bluff. A graveside service was held for him, where he was laid to rest in the cemetery he cherished.
