SHE CHOSE TEAM JUBAL

This week, both viewers and judges of popular show “The Voice” were shocked when one of its contestants proposed on air. Contestant Jubal Lee Young got down on one knee and proposed to his girlfriend and singing partner Amanda Preslar. The event has hit Mississippi headlines in support of Hattiesburg native Preslar. According to the Hattiesburg American, the country-rock duo might be sharing a possible record contract as well as a house and finances. The couple has only been performing for 18 months but they are turning into this season’s favorites. The couple is moving forward on “Team Pharrell.”

LENDING A HAND

First-grader Braden McCay has lived for six years without his left hand. His life was changed when Jackson Prep senior Matthew Clay constructed a hand for him on Wednesday. Clay worked alongside his teacher, Marsha Hobbs, for five weeks to fashion the hand. It was created using a 3-D printer. According to the Clarion-Ledger, Clay started out by printing retainers for his uncle, an orthodontist, as practice for the prosthetic hand. Printing prosthetics from 3-D printers are exceptionally less expensive than other kinds, so as McCay grows the hand will be easy to replicate. McCay has requested that his future hands be printed in blue, green and orange.
