Continuing in the same vein, the Whippets finish with the win, 14-5.

In conjunction with the exhibition L.V. Hull: Love Is a Sensation, the Mississippi Museum of Art (MMA) will host the premiere screening of the documentary Love Is a Sensation, directed by exhibition co-curator, producer, and editor Yaphet L. Smith.

The film celebrates the life and artistic vision of Kosciusko’s own L.V. Hull, a self-described “unusual artist” known for transforming everyday items into vibrant works of art.

The screening, set for Thursday, April 9 at 6:00 pm , will be followed by a post-film conversation with Smith, offering viewers a deeper look into Hull’s creative process and legacy.

Hull, who passed away in 2008, gained recognition for turning ordinary objects — from hats and lamps to household appliances and tools — into colorful, glittering artworks. For years, her Kosciusko home drew visitors eager to see the hundreds of pieces that filled nearly every space.

Her work continues to inspire audiences today. The major exhibition L.V. Hull: Love Is a Sensation opened March 20 at the Mississippi Museum of Art, showcasing hundreds of her pieces.

Locally, Hull’s former home in Kosciusko is set to open to the public in May as the L.V. Hull Legacy Center, ensuring that her artistic vision will be preserved for future generations.

Lane Tubby, a second-year automotive student at the Kosciusko-Attala Career and Technical Center (KACTC) from Ethel High School, has earned top honors at the state level, placing second in the Motorcycle Repair competition at the SkillsUSA State Conference.

This achievement qualifies Lane to advance to the national SkillsUSA Championships.

The Motorcycle Repair competition tests students’ ability to diagnose, troubleshoot, and repair a variety of mechanical issues, requiring both technical knowledge and hands-on precision. Lane impressed judges with skill and dedication, competing against some of the state’s most talented career and technical students.

Under the guidance of instructor Alex Blanton, Lane has developed a solid foundation in automotive and small engine repair. Blanton praised the student’s work ethic and dedication to mastering the trade.

“This is a great accomplishment,” said Blanton. “Competing at the state level takes skill, focus, and determination, and placing second shows just how capable Lane is.”

SkillsUSA is a national organization that prepares students to become skilled professionals, career-ready leaders, and responsible community members. Lane’s success highlights both the strength of KACTC’s automotive program and the promise of its students on the national stage.

Mississippi Blood Services is calling on residents to roll up their sleeves this month as several community blood drives are scheduled across East Mississippi, including stops in Ackerman and Meridian.

Officials say blood donations are always in demand because blood cannot be manufactured and must come from volunteer donors. Each donation can help save up to three lives and supports hospitals caring for patients across the state.

One of the upcoming drives closest to our area will take place Thursday, April 9, at SuperValu in Ackerman from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. Organizers say this event offers a convenient opportunity for Choctaw County residents to donate without traveling far.

Another nearby opportunity is scheduled for Monday, April 13, at the City of Meridian Mayor’s Office from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m., giving Lauderdale County residents a chance to help strengthen the local blood supply.

Additional drives are planned across the region, including Friday, April 10, at Grenada Medical Complex from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m., and later that day at OCH Regional Medical Center in Starkville from 1 p.m. until 6 p.m.

Mississippi Blood Services says all blood types are needed to help ensure hospitals maintain the lifesaving supply patients depend on every day. As a token of appreciation, donors will receive a special thank-you gift at the time of donation.

Walk-ins are welcome at all locations. For more information about donation opportunities or hosting a blood drive, visit msblood.com or contact Mississippi Blood Services directly.
