Malik Heath always carries his brother with him
SUMMARY: Arop will represent Team Canada in his second Olympic Games and enters favored to win. Meanwhile, I spoke with Callaway High alumnus and Green Bay Packers wide receiver Malik Heath this month. Heath's energy was infectious as he engaged with young athletes in the Jackson Metro area. Heath excelled at Callaway High, Mississippi State, and Ole Miss before making the Packers' 53-man roster as an undrafted player in 2023, catching his first touchdown in his rookie year. During our conversation, Heath poignantly remembered his late brother Jamaal, who was killed in a drive-by shooting, describing him as his guardian angel.

Fencing around City Hall was removed after months of renovation
SUMMARY: In Meridian, the temporary fencing around City Hall has been removed. Precision Fencing employees took down the galvanized fences on Tuesday afternoon. Initially, mesh fencing was installed early in 2023 for an exterior repair project involving the building's windows, walls, and roof. The galvanized fencing replaced the mesh in February to allow workers to complete the repairs. Now that the project is finished, the front entrance of City Hall will reopen to the public starting Wednesday.
On Tuesday afternoon, employees from Precision Fencing removed the fence from the front of the entrances after months of renovating the building.
