SUMMARY: Twenty-nine young women from across Mississippi have arrived in Meridian for the Distinguished Young Woman of Mississippi program. Throughout the week, they will engage in daily practices, social events, and community service projects. Competitions will take place from Thursday to Saturday, with one participant earning the chance to represent Mississippi in Mobile next summer. Current titleholder, Satie Perkins, advised the participants to cherish the experience and focus on making friends rather than just the competition outcome. The public is encouraged to attend an autograph party on Tuesday at 4:30. Perkins emphasized living in the moment and valuing the friendships made.

Each young lady will compete on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday for the opportunity to represent Mississippi next summer in Mobile.

SUMMARY: In a recent “Wellness Wednesday” segment, Dr. Quinn discusses the impact of technology on health. He highlights both benefits, such as increased access to health information, and drawbacks, including reduced physical activity and disrupted sleep patterns due to screen exposure. Dr. Quinn observes that technology often distracts users, leading to time loss and decreased engagement in daily activities. He suggests a technology detox, advocating for 24-hour breaks from social media to foster mental well-being. Additionally, he notes that prolonged screen time can cause eye strain and reduce active learning opportunities, particularly among students using AI for schoolwork.

SUMMARY: Election results are beginning to emerge from municipal primary elections across the region. In Brandon, early results indicate a close race between incumbent Mayor Butch Lee and State Representative Fred Shanks. Voting machines are speeding up the tallying process. In Flowood, the mayoral contest between Kathy Smith and Greg Wilcox requires hand counting, leading to a longer wait for results. Meanwhile, in Jackson, votes are being counted for significant races, including a crowded mayoral election with 12 Democratic and 3 Republican candidates. Updates will continue throughout the night as results come in.
