Local law enforcement is urging residents to help keep the community clean
SUMMARY: Local law enforcement in Tishomingo County is urging residents to avoid littering to keep the community clean. Deputies shared before and after pictures of litter at the Steel Bridge, where they collected 43 bags of litter in just one week. Inmates in the area are helping pick up litter along roadways and other areas as part of a partnership with the sheriff’s department. With summer approaching, activity at lakes and recreation areas is expected to increase. Residents are encouraged to do their part by not tossing trash out of their vehicles. Similar clean-up efforts are happening in other parts of the area, with inmates from the Itawamba County Jail also participating in removing litter from various roads.
Tishomingo and Itawamba County sheriff’s offices picked up litter over the weekend.
SUMMARY: In Pike County, residents are enjoying the snow, with some experiencing it for the first time, while preparing for colder temperatures tonight. Many, like Kate Morris and Keith Smith, are making the most of the winter weather but are also getting ready for the expected freeze. Local authorities, including Pike County Sheriff Wally Jones, are monitoring road conditions as temperatures drop, with a focus on keeping highways safe. Residents are advised to stay safe, stay warm, and drive cautiously on potentially icy roads as snow begins to melt and freeze over.

SUMMARY: The Stewpot Opportunity Center in Jackson is responding to dangerously cold temperatures by extending its hours to 22 per day and providing shelter for up to 30 people. The center ensures guests receive food, clothing, hygiene items, hot meals, showers, and rest, with activities like movies to help them stay comfortable. Director Javonda Stanton emphasizes that it is inhumane for people to be left outside in the cold, which can lead to conditions like hypothermia and frostbite. The city is also reopening a temporary shelter at Champion Gym in partnership with Shower Power for those in need.
