Mississippi Academic Pathways scholarship announced to help train more social workers
SUMMARY: Mississippi’s Department of Child Protection Services (MDCPS) launched the Mississippi Academic Pathways (MAP) program, in collaboration with eight state universities to increase the number of trained social workers. The program, costing no additional state funds due to federal support, allows social work students to gain practical experience and prepares them for immediate employment after graduation. Scholarships are available for students and MDCPS employees advancing in social work education, requiring a year of service post-graduation. Since 2023, $1.5 million in scholarships have been awarded to 112 students. Participating universities include Alcorn State, Delta State, Jackson State, both Mississippi State campuses, Mississippi Valley State, Ole Miss, and Southern Miss.

SUMMARY: College basketball in Mississippi returns, providing fans of Mississippi State, Ole Miss, and Southern Miss a break from a challenging football season. Mississippi State, under coach Chris Jans, aims to improve on last season’s 21-14 record, featuring a strong returning core and several transfer additions. Ole Miss, in year two of Chris Beard’s tenure, also looks to bounce back from a 20-12 season with a mix of veteran players and new transfers. Southern Miss seeks redemption after a disappointing season, relying on veteran guards and transfers to enhance their lineup. Both teams kick off their seasons Monday night.

SUMMARY: As Election Day approaches, voters are preparing and deciding on proposed tax referendums. In George County, residents can vote on a new sales tax to fund the “Pennies for Parks” program, aimed at enhancing youth sports facilities. This initiative includes a one-cent sales tax on restaurants and a three percent tax on hotels, with plans already in place for new soccer fields. Meanwhile, Ridgeland voters will consider a sales tax increase to expand Freedom Ridge Park, adding various recreational facilities. Both referendums highlight local investment in community sports and recreational development.

SUMMARY: Magnolia Bluffs Casino in Natchez closed on Friday due to a technical issue linked to its parent company, Saratoga Holdings. As of three days later, the casino remains shut, with security barring access. The issue has also affected Saratoga’s other casinos in New York and Colorado. Amy Brannigan, the company’s marketing director, confirmed they are working to resolve the problem but did not provide a timeline for reopening. Some social media comments expressed skepticism about the nature of the closure, despite the company’s insistence that it involves only IT problems. The casino was taken over by Saratoga in October 2022.
