Southern Miss alum Karen Waldrup advances to finals of ‘The Voice’
SUMMARY: Karen Waldrup, a Southern Miss alumnus, has reached the finals of “The Voice.” Her journey continued after securing a spot following the audience vote, led by host Carson Daly. Waldrup shined with a rendition of Sugarland’s “Stay” and showcased her range alongside contestants Tae Lewis and Sanders with Bob Dylan’s “Forever Young.” Although familiar with the country music scene and having opened for notable artists, Waldrup is still seeking breakthrough success after her 2018 album “Justified” and her EP “Kendall Country Road” in 2023. She competes in the final stage of season 25, hoping to emulate past winner Todd Tilghman’s success and become the first Mississippi-linked victor since 2020.

‘There’s a brighter day for healthcare in Starkville’: OCH Regional Medical Center now up for sale
SUMMARY: Local officials in Oktibbeha County, Mississippi, are seeking a buyer for the OCH Regional Medical Center due to a healthcare crisis. Seven years after opting to keep the hospital under local control, leaders are shifting towards privatization after evaluations forecast a grim future for the facility. State Sen. Bart Williams confirmed that they have hired Raymond James to solicit proposals from potential buyers. Both Williams and Starkville Mayor Lynn Spruill believe a private entity could enhance healthcare quality, asserting that government should focus on public safety and infrastructure rather than running hospitals. The bidding process for the sale will commence soon.
