Price of Progress – Part One
SUMMARY: Cara Shirley sat down with residents of the Barnett community to hear more about a solar farm that was discovered a year ago. A tiny community south of Pachuta on Highway 11 discovered a solar farm was being built in their backyard. One year later, the company, Cane Creek Solar, and the people are sharing how life is now. Anderson says they don’t understand the magnitude of the stress they are under, and they claim the company has not cleaned up the debris from around a pond. Rosie Bumpers believes the solar farm is just another example of a big business putting profit before people. Pine Gate Renewable sent an email to address questions about destroyed plum trees. They welcome a conversation with the landowner and want to remedy any concerns. Tomorrow, on News 11, more from the Barnett community.

SUMMARY: Walker Mim, a Mississippi high school baseball player, faced a life-altering Hodgkin’s Lymphoma diagnosis. Concerned about his son’s unusual throwing motion, Walker’s father prompted an MRI that revealed cancer instead of a shoulder injury. Despite the harsh treatments, Walker remained resilient. Make A Wish Mississippi granted him a wish to attend the World Series, marking a symbol of hope as he completed his treatment. Supported by his family and community, who wore “Walker Strong” bracelets, he found strength in his faith, particularly through Philippians 4:13. Thankfully, Walker is now feeling well and embracing life again.
