SUMMARY: Walker Mim, a Mississippi high school baseball player, faced a life-altering Hodgkin’s Lymphoma diagnosis. Concerned about his son’s unusual throwing motion, Walker’s father prompted an MRI that revealed cancer instead of a shoulder injury. Despite the harsh treatments, Walker remained resilient. Make A Wish Mississippi granted him a wish to attend the World Series, marking a symbol of hope as he completed his treatment. Supported by his family and community, who wore “Walker Strong” bracelets, he found strength in his faith, particularly through Philippians 4:13. Thankfully, Walker is now feeling well and embracing life again.

SUMMARY: Local shoppers in Tupelo are hopeful for a Target store after years of anticipation. Target filed plans in September for a store in the Barnes Crossing area near North Gloster Street and Interstate 22. The Tupelo City Council recently approved an agreement to incentivize the retailer, including infrastructure improvements to alleviate traffic. While some community members express excitement about the shopping options, Target has not confirmed its plans for Tupelo, as its future store openings do not currently include the city. Despite recent mixed earnings reports, company officials remain optimistic about their long-term prospects.

The City of Tupelo is now playing the waiting game for a possible Target store.

SUMMARY: A local nonprofit, Petal Healing Garden, is collaborating with the Forest County Agricultural Extension Office on the Grow a Row program to combat food insecurity. Volunteers can participate after completing a food safety course led by Jesse Tisdale. The program not only helps with food donations but also offers a chance for the community to reconnect with gardening, filling a gap left by the loss of agricultural education in local schools. Proceeds from the initiative will benefit the Edwards Street food pantry and the Petal Children’s Task Force in Hattiesburg.

One local agricultural extension office is teaming up with a local vegetable garden owner to train others on growing produce to combat hunger in the Pine Belt.
