Studio 9 Interview: Oxford Police offering women's defense classes
SUMMARY: In North Mississippi, the Oxford Police Department is offering self-defense classes for women to enhance their safety awareness. Lieutenant Joe Bishop and Officer McKenzie Rogers emphasize the importance of understanding one’s surroundings, particularly in a smartphone-distracted world. The self-defense program, called “The Equalizer,” covers various defensive techniques, including defenses against common attack methods identified by FBI statistics. The classes, which are free and last about an hour, are typically held on Tuesdays and do not require advance registration. Participants can learn more through the police department’s social media channels or by contacting them directly.

SUMMARY: Saint Andrew’s Episcopal School is quiet as an influenza outbreak leads to the closure of all grades on Friday. The decision was made to help students recover and minimize community spread. Following advice from school nurses, high schoolers were sent home Thursday, with elementary students following Friday, halting classes until Monday. The Mississippi Department of Health reports that flu cases in the metro area have doubled recently, likely due to post-holiday school attendance. Health officials advise getting flu shots and keeping sick children at home to protect health as case numbers are expected to decrease with warmer weather in March.

Republican bill would block illegal immigrants from receiving tax breaks | National
SUMMARY: The Safeguarding American Workers’ Benefits Act, reintroduced by Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith, aims to prevent illegal immigrants in the U.S. from receiving Child Tax Credits (CTC) and Earned Income Tax Credits (EITC). The legislation mandates that parents and children need valid Social Security numbers for employment to qualify for these tax benefits. Rep. Clay Higgins has introduced a similar bill in the House. The U.S. Joint Committee on Taxation estimates the bill could save nearly $28 billion over ten years. This initiative aligns with Republican efforts to cut federal spending while addressing immigration policies under President Trump.

SUMMARY: The city of Hattiesburg is set to revitalize North Main Street in about two years, following a recent meeting with residents and business owners for input. Local developer Chad Edmonson has spearheaded renovations, purchasing and improving over a dozen properties since 2020, leading to a renewed interest in the area. While most welcome the changes, concerns about potential displacement arise. Mark Russell from the North M Neighborhood Association emphasizes the importance of retaining the community’s diversity and ensuring inclusivity. The mayor expresses optimism for the project, hoping for earlier developments by community resources.
