SUMMARY: The cameras in Ellisville are expected to be up and running by late April or early May. The city leaders allowed a daycare center that caters to special needs children to remain open while the owner works to comply with zoning ordinances. The owner, Naomi Joy Overstreet, attended a meeting to inform the board of the importance of the center and the support it has from parents and neighbors. Overstreet is hopeful that the city will consider a variance for the center to continue serving children in need. The decision will be made by the Board of Aldermen in Ellisville.

Ellisville leaders are allowing a daycare center that helps special needs children to remain open while the owner works to comply with zoning ordinances.

SUMMARY: At the University of Southern Mississippi, freshmen are required to live on campus, a mandate that some students find inconvenient due to financial concerns. Freshman Gabrielle Cox expressed frustration, arguing that students living nearby should have the option to commute without incurring extra costs. While some students dislike the requirement, others, like a fellow USM student, feel positively about the experience but acknowledge that it can lead to social challenges. Many freshmen find it difficult to make friends, leading to feelings of loneliness for those who struggle to connect with others in the dorm environment.
