SUMMARY: As Mississippians embrace the warmer weather and summer approaches, the tradition of swimming becomes a focal point for many, including children eagerly awaiting to fill their break with water activities. For grandparents and parents alike, the safety of their little ones during these aquatic adventures becomes paramount. A significant insight comes from an online study by ALIVE Solutions, which emphasizes the importance of swimsuit color in enhancing the visibility of children in water. National statistics alarmingly highlight drowning as the leading cause of death in American children ages 1-4. The study suggests that neon colors, particularly neon orange and neon pink, significantly improve the visibility of children in various water environments, compared to light or dark-colored swimsuits. This knowledge serves as a crucial tool for guardians to ensure their children’s safety, urging them to opt for neon-colored swimsuits for safer swimming experiences. Information on water safety and the color visibility tests can be found on ALIVE Solutions’ website and Facebook page.

SUMMARY: Craving an Italian sub, I decided to make one at home since the nearest restaurants are far. The key is finding good bread with a crunchy crust, and local options like Henry’s Café, Le Bakery, and Rouses provide decent choices, though I prefer to hollow them out slightly. For the filling, classic ingredients include lettuce, tomato, onions, mayo, pepperoni, capocollo, genoa salami, and cheeses like provolone or taleggio. For a budget-friendly sub, I’d recommend veggies, pepperoni, and seared mortadella with a drizzle of olive oil and a quick oven warm-up to melt the cheese. Don’t skimp on the meat!
