Tupelo teacher to help save life of 5-year-old student with liver donation
SUMMARY: Holly Allgood, a teacher at Tupelo Early Childhood Education Center, is set to donate a portion of her liver to save her 5-year-old student, Bowen Dorr, who has a rare metabolic disorder. After Bowen’s health deteriorated, his parents sought a donor, and Allgood felt an instant connection, believing she would be a match. Following tests confirming her suitability, she and Bowen’s surgeries will take place in Pittsburgh on Tuesday. Both families are grateful for the support they’ve received, and Allgood encourages others to consider being living donors. Bowen loves musical cards, and well-wishers can send them to the school.

SUMMARY: Mississippi Secretary of State Michael Watson is reminding eligible voters about absentee voting ahead of the judicial runoffs on November 26, two days before Thanksgiving. Voters who will be away on Election Day can cast absentee ballots in person or by mail if they meet specific qualifications. Circuit clerk offices will be open for absentee voting from November 16 to 23, with Saturday hours from 8 a.m. to noon. Watson emphasizes the need for voters to plan ahead, as turnout is typically low for runoffs. Voting will occur in 33 counties, with key races for the Supreme Court and Court of Appeals.

SUMMARY: The IRS announces special tax benefits for U.S. Armed Forces members and their families. Key benefits include tax-free combat pay, extensions for filing taxes for those in combat zones, and excludable Armed Forces dependency allotments. Low to moderate-income service members may qualify for the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), which could be up to $7,830 for 2024. Additionally, active-duty members can deduct unreimbursed relocation expenses from military orders and permanent changes of station. The IRS aims to provide comprehensive support to simplify the tax filing process for military personnel. More information is available on their website.

SUMMARY: Tyler Selby, a former worship leader and real estate agent from the Mississippi Gulf Coast, faces up to 30 years in prison for producing child pornography. He was identified after U.K. authorities recovered a video sent from a U.S. social media account, which depicted sexually explicit conduct involving a minor. Selby reportedly recorded the video using a young boy in his custody at a Jackson County home and acknowledged knowing it would be transmitted online. He has served as a music minister at several Baptist churches. Sentencing is set for March 6, 2025, with the case investigated by Homeland Security.
