Mississippi River levels in Vicksburg remain low
SUMMARY: The Mississippi River is currently experiencing low water levels in Vicksburg, Mississippi. As of 10:00 a.m., the water levels are less than a foot above the gage. Despite rain on October 11, the water levels in Vicksburg are not expected to change. Cody Eckhardt, deputy chief of operations with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, explains that sustained rain is needed throughout the valley in order to see significant changes in the river’s water levels. Dredges are currently being used along the Mississippi River to prevent it from falling below nine-feet deep and hindering barge transportation.

SUMMARY: Calhoun City, Mississippi, has voted for the first time to permit the sale of alcohol, with a 4-to-1 decision influenced by House Bill 776. Mayor Marshall W. Coleman believes this will enhance local safety by reducing the need to travel for alcohol and could provide economic benefits, keeping tax revenues within the town. The decision reflects a push from citizens and business owners, despite controversy. Coleman has consulted with other towns that have seen growth after allowing alcohol sales. Local businesses are eager to start, aiming for sales by November, following the successful example set by nearby Bruce in 2022.

SUMMARY: Isaac Smith, a safety for Mississippi State, emerged as a football standout at Itawamba Agricultural High School, attracting Division I offers. Coming from an athletic family, with his father playing at Ole Miss, Isaac’s first offer also came from there. However, he felt a strong connection with Mississippi State and its late coach Mike Leach, who he admired for his kindness, including attending a game when Isaac wasn’t playing. Following Leach’s unexpected passing, Isaac sought guidance through prayer and ultimately chose Mississippi State, feeling called to be there. Today, he remains committed, regardless of coaching changes.
