SUMMARY: As Spring Break approaches, more boaters are expected on the Mississippi Gulf Coast’s waterways, which are popular for activities like kayaking, fishing, and jet skiing. Captain Michael Strickland of Marine Patrol emphasizes the importance of vessel safety, urging boaters to ensure their craft is sea-worthy and equipped with necessary safety gear, including personal flotation devices, a fire extinguisher, and visual distress signals. Additionally, anyone born after June 30, 1980, must possess a boat safety certificate. Strickland advises against boating under the influence and encourages familiarity with local laws to reduce accidents during the busy season.

SUMMARY: After three years apart, Bella the 17-year-old cat has reunited with the Ferrell and Speese families on Meadowview Circle. Initially thought lost forever, Bella’s disappearance led both families to assume she had passed away. Their hopes were revived when a good Samaritan brought Bella to a veterinarian, who scanned her microchip. This reunion highlights the importance of pet identification, especially after events like Hurricane Katrina when microchipping became vital. Dr. Chris Duke emphasizes updating contact information for microchips. Bella is now settling back into her home, and her families are thrilled to have her return.
