SUMMARY: Tonight, Cedric Burnside performed at an event aimed at growing annually. The Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks hosted a historical program about Enid Lake, presented by Mike Robinson, a former US Army Corps of Engineers resource manager. Robinson discussed the lake’s history, including a significant flood that led to dam construction in the state, and added personal stories from his family who also worked on the lake. One poignant tale highlighted the dangers faced by early workers. Robinson hopes attendees appreciate the efforts and sacrifices made to build Enid Lake. More details are available on their website.

The history of a north Mississippi vacation spot for at least two generations got a highlight on Saturday.

SUMMARY: In a recent “Wellness Wednesday” segment, Dr. Quinn discusses the impact of technology on health. He highlights both benefits, such as increased access to health information, and drawbacks, including reduced physical activity and disrupted sleep patterns due to screen exposure. Dr. Quinn observes that technology often distracts users, leading to time loss and decreased engagement in daily activities. He suggests a technology detox, advocating for 24-hour breaks from social media to foster mental well-being. Additionally, he notes that prolonged screen time can cause eye strain and reduce active learning opportunities, particularly among students using AI for schoolwork.
