SUMMARY: The Jackson Zoo is working to regain its certification after receiving citations from the USDA in April for issues like improper food storage, contaminated surfaces, and rodent problems. The city’s Parks and Recreation Department has since made improvements and nearly completed necessary renovations. However, the zoo still needs community support to grow and eventually receive more funding as an accredited zoo. Visitors have suggested improvements like better landscaping and renovations. Upcoming events such as the 30th Annual Ice Cream Safari aim to attract more visitors and raise funds for continued renovations. For more event details, visit WBTW.com.

SUMMARY: In downtown Jackson, a special art piece commemorates veterans, particularly highlighting a returning World War I soldier. The War Memorial building serves as a tribute to soldiers rather than war itself, featuring the Mississippi Unknown Soldiers Monument alongside sculptures by George Albert Rer. These bar reliefs, modeled after Ray Scott, depict the same soldier in various life stages, from combat to homecoming. Completed just before World War II, the building primarily honors earlier battles, with World War II references limited to the elevator panels. On Veterans Day, the Daily Sip expresses gratitude to veterans for their service.
