SUMMARY: The Hattiesburg Zoo has welcomed a new member to its giraffe family – a two and a half-year-old giraffe named Grace. Grace was brought from the Audubon Species Survival Center in New Orleans. She joins two other giraffes, Sue Ellen and Alberta, who have the same father. The zoo’s curator Kristen Moore says that Grace is already calm and chill, just like the other giraffes. They expect her to fit in well once she completes a mandatory 30-day quarantine period.

SUMMARY: Maddie Anderson, former Mississippi State goalkeeper, recently signed with Racing Louisville FC, marking the realization of her lifelong dream. Over five seasons at MSU, Anderson earned numerous accolades and helped lead her team to an SEC Championship. She was drafted as a trialist, a stressful process that required proving herself without knowing her future. Anderson, who set several Bulldog records, credits her improvement to her coach, Cat Stratton, and her Christian faith. Now a rookie, she is focused on learning from her more experienced teammates, Katie Lond and Jordan Bloomer, while remaining motivated by her faith.

SUMMARY: Mississippi has made significant strides in addressing the opioid crisis, with opioid deaths declining for two consecutive years. The state’s efforts include stricter prescribing regulations and enhanced access to treatment for opioid use disorder. The opioid epidemic worsened during the COVID-19 pandemic, with isolation and limited treatment access exacerbating the issue. The introduction of fentanyl further complicated the crisis, leading to many deaths from counterfeit pills. Mississippi has focused on education and distributing Narcan kits to reverse overdoses. The Department of Health also provides free treatment options through its program for those without insurance or local providers.
