HERNANDO - The Hernando Civic Center is raising funds to expand the facility's capacity to serve area youth baseball and softball teams by installing lights on three ball fields.  A unique partnership with the Mississippi RiverKings hockey team and the team's owner, Maddox Foundation, will enable the Civic Center to raise the $20,000 or more needed for the "Let There Be Lights" project in one event.

SOUTHAVEN, MS (AP) - Southaven officials have drafted a proposed ordinance to ban K2 -- a synthetic herb sold in area stores as an incense that mimics a marijuana high when smoked.

Police and city officials said they've received several complaints from parents about local stores selling their kids the fake pot, which is legal but not meant for human consumption.

At next Tuesday's board of aldermen meeting, The Commercial Appeal reports city officials plan to vote on the K2 ordinance that would prohibit the use, purchase, possession or sale of the synthetic cannabinoid.

June is National Homeownership Month, which is a month that is dedicated to increasing the awareness of programs and opportunities that are available to individuals and families to help those who do not own a home achieve the dream of owning a home with no down payment and a low interest rate.

To promote that locally the City of Southaven will be holding a Housing Opportunities Workshop, according to Mayor Greg Davis. Interest rates are very low at this time which causes monthly payments to be less and applicants may also qualify for down payment assistance. Applicants must be credit worthy and have repayment ability to quality for a mortgage loan but credit does not have to be perfect. The City of Southaven is applying for a total of $250,000 Home Buyer Assistance Grant funds from the Home Investment Partnership Grant Program from the Mississippi Development Authority.
