Entergy’s Lineman of the Game program, coordinated in collaboration with the New Orleans Saints professional football team, is one way that our linemen are recognized for their hard work and commitment. Entergy Mississippi’s Kutter McLaughlin was honored as the Lineman of the Game at the Saints game against the San Francisco 49ers, held Sunday at the Superdome.
A musician and photographer, Kutter McLaughlin was a guitarist in several bands for many years and shoots inspiring photographs, particularly on his travels with his family. He may be talented in several different arenas, but his skill as a lineman shines—so much so that he has been selected to represent Entergy Mississippi as Lineman of the Game at the Saints game on Sunday.
The Entergy Mississippi Lineman Rodeo and Family Fun Day, held recently at the Mississippi Coliseum, provided the opportunity for apprentice and journeyman linemen to showcase their skills and allowed family and friends to watch them compete.
Over the years, Entergy’s The Power to Care program has made a significant impact. All the assistance is made possible through charitable donations and fundraising events like Entergy Mississippi’s The Power to Care Golf Tournament held recently at the Country Club of Jackson.

“A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step” is an often-quoted Chinese proverb credited to philosopher Lao Tzu. For Entergy Mississippi team member Quintaurus Wright, it is more than just a quote. He is living proof that small steps can lead to incredible results.

Keeping the lights on and restoring power after outages is not for the faint of heart. Our lineworkers climb poles in the sizzling heat with the summer sun beating down on them, go up in bucket trucks in the bitter cold after an ice storm and deal with extreme devastation after tornadoes, flooding or hurricanes. In addition to being physically fit and mentally astute, lineworkers must have a heart for serving others.
More than 400 Entergy Mississippi customers from the Cleveland and Greenville areas got out of the heat to learn how to beat the heat at the Bolivar County Expo Center in Cleveland earlier this month. Entergy partnered with local community advocate organization Boss Lady Economic Planning Development, led by Pam Chatman, to hold the half-day event. The customer engagement event showcased a variety of Entergy tools and programs that help customers manage energy usage and bills.
