Hot spot
By ANTHONY WARREN
Sun Staff Writer
ABOUT 14 YEARS after the district
was created by the city of
Ridgeland to give the area a 19th
century feel, the West Jackson Street
Overlay District has become a hot spot
for local businesses, as well as a hub for
special events.
And despite the current recession, Ron
Blaylock, who serves as an informal director
for the Jackson Street District Asso-
The fall art show at The Cedars will be September 10 and
will feature the works of Jack Garner, William Goodman and
Richard McKey. This show will mark the fifth anniversary of
the Four Seasons of The Cedars visual and performing arts
series. McKey and Goodman were the featured artists of
the first art show held at The Cedars. Garner joins this duo
ciation, said exciting things are continuing
to happen. Since last year’s fall festival,
seven new businesses have moved to the
area, and developers have made plans to
add additional shopping centers.
Blaylock, owner of Blaylock Fine Art
Photography, said he’s surprised that the
area has caught on so fast. “Of course, we
hoped things would grow, but we’re
amazed at how things have progressed,”
he said. He pointed to the Dog Days of
Summer event as an example of the corridor’s
growing popularity.
HEAD COACH Ted Taylor
cracked a few jokes between
discussing plays.
“You haven’t had anyone
this good-looking in the paper
have you?” he asked, with the
players gathered around a
white dry-erase board laughing.
“I don’t want to shock
anybody.”
Even with a few chuckles,
The event was held on June 13 to benefit
the Madison Ark animal shelter. “We
thought it would be a smaller event, but it
snowballed into one of our biggest,” he
said. It featured 20 bands, a barbecue
competition at a local restaurant, and hotdogs
and hamburgers for those in attendance.
Donations were accepted for the
shelter.

knowing the challenges
ahead of them.
With a small class of returning
seniors and a new head
coach in Taylor, the Saints
would have to make a few adjustments
to say the least. But
those changes, coupled with a
move from Class 2A to 3A
with the Mississippi High
School Activities Association
(MHSAA), means the team
that once dominated its division
will now be one of the
smallest in its class.

but you can only put 11 guys
out there at a time and battle
the best you can,” Taylor said.

Smoother
roads coming
to Madison
residents
ABOUT A year after taking in the territory,
the city of Madison is keeping its promise to
provide residents in the recently annexed area
with smoother roads.
At their regular meeting last week, the mayor
and board of aldermen voted to issue $15
million in bonds for road repair and resurfacing.
Mayor Mary Hawkins Butler said $10 million
will go toward road work in Annandale,
Ingleside and Sundial, three neighborhoods located
in the territory annexed by Madison in
July 2008. The other $5 million will be spent
in the rest of the city.
“This was one of my promises,” she said in
a telephone interview. “I told them they would
see a return for the taxes they paid.” Butler
said taxes will not go up to cover the bonds,
which will be repaid by the municipality over
the next 20 years.
City Attorney John Hedglin said the city
will officially sell the $10 million bond in August
and the $5 million in September. He didn’t
know what interest rate the city would be
paying.
Public Works Director Denson Robinson
said work on the project should begin in the
spring, and take about a year and a half to
complete.
“These are large neighborhoods,” he said.
“Some streets will allow us to mill down an
inch and a half and add new asphalt, but a lot
were built on Yazoo clay and will have to be
completely rebuilt.”
AN ENGINEERING study conducted in
2006 for Madison County by Burns, Cooley
and Dennis showed that it would cost between
$6 million and $7 million to repair roads in
Annandale, numbers city officials say have increased
in recent years.
The neighborhood was built about 20 years
ago as one of Madison County’s first upscale
subdivisions outside the city limits. When it
was built, the county didn’t have the standards
that are now in place for developing residential
streets.
That factor, coupled with Yazoo clay, has
led to numerous problems, including damage
to sidewalks and curbs, base failures and potholes.
Ward Six Alderman Guy Bowering
knows the problem all too well. Earlier this
year, he gave the Northside Sun a tour of the

Police do not suspect
recent Belhaven home
invasion linked to others
By ANTHONY WARREN
Sun Staff Writer
JACKSON POLICE say a recent home
invasion in Belhaven is likely not related to
a string of robbery invasions that have
occurred recently on the Northside, despite
their similarities.
The incident occurred on the morning of
August 10, in the 1000 block of Poplar
Boulevard. Another home invasion was
reported in the 1000 block of Poplar weeks
ago, on July 12.
“There’s nothing to suggest that it was
related, but we’re not ruling anything out,”
said police spokesman Lt. Jeffrey Scott in a
phone interview. The invasion is one of
nine that have been reported since last
December.
At approximately 6:20 a.m., the complainant
was in her kitchen when an
unidentified man entered the kitchen,
grabbed a knife off the counter and
demanded her money and jewelry. Precinct
Four Officer Robby Huff said the woman
gave the suspect her money and was told to
go upstairs. While she was upstairs, the
man fled the scene on foot.
The suspect was described as a black
male with a medium build and a “low haircut.”
The victim told police that he was
wearing a black shirt.
Huff said no injuries were reported during
the incident.

business notes
POLICE ARE investigating at least
eight other invasions that have been reported
since December 2008, when the first
one occurred in the 3900 block of Nassau
Street. The crimes have also been reported
in the 1400 block of Robert Drive, the
2000 block of East Northside Drive, the
2000 block of Meadowbrook Road and the
4000 block of Brookdale Street.
In all but one case, the man has targeted
women who appear to be home alone.
Once the suspect gains entry to the home,
he asks for money and jewelry. No women
have been injured in any incident.
In most cases, the suspect is either armed
with a lead object or grabs a knife or other
item from the scene to use as a weapon.
The suspect is described as a stocky
black male with a light complexion who is
in his mid to late 20s or early 30s. He
stands between 5’8” and 5’10” tall and
weighs between 180 and 240 pounds. He is
believed to drive a white, 1990s model
Pontiac Grand Prix or Grand Am.
Earlier this summer, Deputy Chief
Gerald Jones formed an ad hoc committee
to investigate the crimes. At the time of
publication no suspect had been arrested in
the case.
Jones couldn’t be reached for comment.

THREE ARMED robberies were reported
recently on the Northside, including one
at an area hotel and two others outside a
well-known drugstore.
On August 6, the America’s Best Suites
at 5411 I-55 North was apparently in the
sights of one crook looking for some quick
cash. At 2:39 that morning, an unidentified
black male entered the lobby with a handgun
and demanded money.
Precinct Four Officer Robby Huff said
the employee refused and the suspect
jumped behind the counter and demanded
cash again, this time, pointing the gun in
the complainant’s face. He said the clerk
handed over an undisclosed amount of
cash and the suspect fled the scene on foot.
He said no additional information was

University of Oklahoma to a trip to Israel

he won an Emmy reporting on Hurricane
Katrina. McMullan (center) is shown with

Three armed robberies reported
available in the case.
Then on August 10, two armed robberies
were reported in the parking lot of Brent’s
Drug Store at 655 Duling Ave. Huff said
two men were standing in the parking lot
when they were approached by two
unidentified black males.
One of the suspects was armed with a
handgun. Huff said the crook took a wallet
from one of the victims and a wallet and
cell phone from the other. The incident
occurred at approximately 11:50 that night,
he said.
The suspects were described as black
males wearing dark clothing. The first was
approximately 5’9” tall, weighing 120
pounds. The other was 5’9” and weighed
in at 140 pounds.

Mike Kent is superintendent of the
Madison County School District. He
recently took a few minutes to talk with
Northside Sun Staff Writer Anthony
Warren about the first day of school and
the upcoming bond issue that will fund
new school construction.
First things first, I understand school
started today (August 12). How did the
first day go?
“Things went great. We have 11,500
kids at 22 schools, run 125 buses and
employ 950 teachers. By 11 o’clock this
morning, we only had five phone calls to
Central Office, and all of those had to do
with buses running late. I think that’s simply
a result of first day traffic congestion
and MDOT (Mississippi Department of
Transportation) road work that’s going on
along Mississippi 463. We had a great
first day.”
Two new schools also opened, didn’t
they?
“We opened Mannsdale Elementary as
a K-5 school, with 599 students enrolled
in kindergarten through fifth grade and
Germantown Middle in the Gluckstadt
area, with 456 sixth, seventh and eighthgraders.”
I want to switch gears and talk about
the upcoming bond issue. Tell me a little
about that.
“There’s no way to say just a little bit
about it. The shortest way to introduce it
is by saying that if we don’t do anything,
Madison Central’s enrollment will hit
2,000-plus in a couple of years. We have
accelerated some debt service and aggressively
paid off existing debt to put ourselves
in a position to float a bond issue
that doesn’t require a tax increase.”
The district is completely debt free?
“We have not paid off our debt completely;
bonds are typically issued in 15
and 20 year durations. But what we have
done is paid down our most recent bonds
significantly and paid off remaining debt
from 1994. The bottom line is, we are
positioned to run a $61 million bond issue
without increasing taxes by one red cent.
“We issued a bond in 2004 for $40 million
and a bond in 1998 for $66 million.
Now, we call it the 98-2000 bond,
because it was held up in federal court for

two years over a desegregation debate.
When I came to office, I was elected
because I made a campaign promise to
get the bond out of federal court and get it
moving, and that’s what I did.”
I attended a recent work session for
the city of Ridgeland, and I understand
the district has been pushing for support
on the bond issue. Tell me about
that.
“Legally, school districts cannot spend
one penny of public money to promote a
bond issue. It has to be promoted by parents
and leaders in the business community.
That’s what’s happening here. We’re
organizing our parents and support groups
to help us get it to pass, because we can’t
print fliers and posters and distribute
them. Primarily, the parent-teacher organizations
of each school have a bond election
team, and what they’re doing is printing
fliers and organizing groups to work
car rider lines, phone banks, and e-mail
lists. A great deal is also being done at
back to school night.”
What about the resolutions being
passed?
“The school board has sent me to various
political and quasi-political groups
asking for their verbal support. We have
received resolutions, or votes of confidence,
from the Madison County Board
of Supervisors, the mayors and boards for
the cities of Madison and Ridgeland, the
Madison County Foundation, the
Madison County Chamber of Commerce,
the Federation of Madison County
Homeowners Associations (FMCHA), the
Madison Organization of Neighborhood
Associations, the Madison County
Business League and the Madison County
Economic Development Authority.”
If the bond passes, every student in
the district will benefit, won’t they?
“We will touch every school in some
shape, form or fashion. The centerpiece is
the new high school in the Gluckstadt
area. Again, that goes back to population
growth. There are 600 high school kids in
the area today. By the time the school
opens in 2011, there will be 800. That is
the most expensive project; it will have an
academic core, a football stadium and athletic
complex, and will run close to $40
million.
“In addition that that, we are adding
new classrooms at Ann Smith
Elementary, Highland Elementary,
Ridgeland High School, Madison Avenue
Upper Elementary, Madison Middle
School, and Northeast Madison Middle
School. We are also doing fifth-grade science
labs at every upper elementary
school; additional technology at all middle
schools; and athletic upgrades at all
the high schools.”
How many upper elementary schools
does the district have?
“We have nine elementaries that will
receive science labs. We have three high
schools, one ninth-grade school, five middle
schools.”
At a recent Ridgeland work session,
one speaker commented on the condition
of Ann Smith Elementary. What
will the district do to rehab that facility?
“First of all, it’s not in poor condition.
It’s in great shape, but it has a dated
appearance. The building opened in 1965
and has been remodeled a few times.
We’re going to do a facelift on that building,
along with the Luther Branson school
in the north end of the county, which is of
similar age.”
What will the facelift at Ann Smith
include?
“We will relocate the administration
area and create a new façade, which will
update the view from the street. I think it
will be very pleasing to the folks in the
neighborhood.”
Are you confident that the bond referendum
will pass? And why?
“I think so. Here’s the deal: there’s no
tax increase attached to this and we’re
touching every school in the district. If it
fails, nobody gets anything. And here’s
the real kicker: taxes will go up.”
Why will taxes have to go up? What
is the district’s millage rate?
“If we’re not authorized to borrow the
money, then where are we going to put
these students? In trailers; that’s standard
operating procedure. And where are the
trailers going to come from? We’ll have
to buy them. Since we can’t borrow

NEVILLE
The Shoes
THERE ARE LOTS of special stories about
the Neville/Alford family friendship, yet here
is truly one of the best.
He was my mentor of sorts, my dad’s best
friend, this 6 foot 10 imposing figure of a
man, who set the standard for “the good guy,”
with apparent little concern in caring much for
himself most of the time, always thinking of
the other person and their well-being, all of the
time.
Father, merchant, mayor, churchman (my
mom always joked with him that he really
should have been the bishop of the Methodist
Church), best friend...there are few complimentary
remarks that can’t be used to aptly
describe this giant of an individual; he was
truly bigger than life, and shaking his hand
must have been much like shaking the hand of
God himself; there he was, towering over the
rest of the world in physical size, and when he
shook your hand, it was as if your small hand
was dwarfed in his, or so it seemed.
Also bigger than life were his other extremities...
head, feet...and getting a pair of really
comfortable shoes that fit, was a major task at
best. There were times when I’ve heard him
remark that shoe companies simply did not
make shoes for men with big feet, yet what he
seemed to forget was that there just were not
too many men who wore size 14s.
So you can imagine why, when the local
shoe store representative, Larry Smith, called
to announce the arrival of the traveling
Bostonian shoe salesman, with a special invitation
to come inspect the new shoes for special
order (and a guaranteed fit, regardless of
size), the calendar was marked, and the day
finally arrived when J.W. went to the “trunk
show,” for his guaranteed pair of good fitting
shoes. Additionally, finding a smart pair of
authentic Bostonians in a size 14 was just too
good to be true, and the opportunity too good
to pass.
At the same time, the same invitation was
also extended to J.W.’s friend and banker, Bill,
the second half of the Denman-Alford partnership
store name, where since 1900, it had been
heralded as “the best place to shop,” and it
was. Bill’s shoe size was a rather ordinary size
9, yet he too made the date, and selected his
distinctive pair of Bostonians, and the two
good friends were pleased.
Time rushed by, and both pairs of shoes
arrived the day before the two individuals
were scheduled to travel by train, the crack
express of the day, the Panama Limited liner,
to Kentucky to watch the former’s son play
against the University of Kentucky in a most
anticipated early season college football game
opener.
All went well; the two men boarded the
train, enjoyed a sumptuous night-time, chefcooked
meal, prepared on a stainless steel,
woodburning stove aboard the crack express,
then retired to their individual Pullman sleeper
rooms for a much deserved night’s sleep, in
anticipation of the next day’s big game.
Those who traveled by train during those
glorious days remember that one could place
their shoes outside their roomette in a shoesized
compartment over night, and the next
morning find those same shoes right there, yet
spit-shined and looking like new; the Pullman
porter, in addition to his many other well performed
duties, also made certain that every
traveler’s shoes were in perfect condition if
they were travelers in his car.
The big day came and went, Ole Miss handily
defeated the Kentucky football team, and
the only downer of the day was an unexpected
drenching rain storm that soaked the fans, and
left all clothing and shoes equally soaked.
Appropriate goodbyes given, the two
friends boarded the train for the return trip
back to McComb, and the routine of work, as
they continued to savor the memories of their
good time for many weeks to follow.
Coincidentally however, J.W. on more than

I Love Tennis
“HOW’S IT COMING?” Jill Strickland
asked, as she sat by the pool at the
Doubletree Inn in Memphis, right next to
the Racquet Club of Memphis.” It’s not,” I
answered. “Haven’t even started,” I replied.
“What are you writing about?” she continued.
“Oh, I don’t know, medical reform,” I
said.
“Too bad. Everybody prefers your personal
columns.”
On that note, I will abandon medical
reform and tell you about why Lawrence is
missing his first day of class at St.
Andrew’s. And how the young Mississippi
tennis players are whipping up on the bigcity
Tennessee boys.
Last year, Lawrence lost 17 tennis
matches in a row, but never lost hope. I had
to admire his determination, so I started hitting
with him regularly and sprang for tennis
lessons with Casey Ragsdale at River
Hills. Now he’s just won four matches at
the big regional tennis tournament in
Memphis, requiring that he play on
Monday. You talk about a happy boy.
Not only that, but we saw a big improvement
in school. He was able to transfer his
lessons on the court to the classroom. He
learned how concentration and hard work
can turn a dismal situation into success. It’s
the kind of turnaround that brings tears to a
parent’s eyes.
Last night, we were at the $40 Ramada
and playing on suburban health club courts.
Now it’s big time, baby. His next match is
at the Racquet Club of Memphis, where the
pros themselves play. And we’re spending
the night in the fancy Doubletree across the
street.
As we checked in at the Doubletree,
Lawrence had his tennis racket under his
arm. Just this February at the big Memphis
pro Cellular South tournament, we watched
the pros wandering around the Doubletree
lobby with their tennis clothes and rac-
one occasion complained to Bill that he had
never purchased a pair of shoes that failed to
perform to expectations quite as poorly as
these did; these shoes had apparently shrunk,
he thought from the rain, and he really was
having a difficult time even getting his feet
into the shoes; to even wear.
Bill, on the other hand, also complained to
J.W. that his Bostonians too, were less than
satisfactory; his however, seemed to have
stretched, and to even keep them on his feet,
he had packed tissue in the toe of the shoe.
Neither realized that each had selected the
identical same shoe style from the traveling
salesman, and that the porter had inadvertently
switched sizes after shining; they had been
wearing each other’s shoes for weeks, a full
five sizes different.
Perhaps this gives new meaning to the old
phrase, if the shoe fits, wear it...yet what does
one do if it doesn’t?
(Yet, no story about the venerable Denman
Alford Company would be complete without
this:)
J.W. Alford, being the consummate gentleman
that he was, took several store buyers,
twice a year, to the old RiceStix Company in
St. Louis, Mo., a general wholesale mercantile
house, for two half yearly markets.
And while the crack Panama Limited made
a number of stops after departing from New
Orleans, headed north, it finally arrived in
McComb City... that behemoth of a crack
express train, which staked its pride on
‘always being on time.’
One thing J.W. did not do was understand
about being punctual...he was perpetually late,
and this occasion was no exception.
I DO NOT TAKE missing the first day
of school lightly. I’m not sure Lawrence
has ever missed more than two days when
we went to Disney World. But there is no
way in the world I could deny this child his
hard-earned day in the sun.
Northside parents know the sports weekend
drill. Be it baseball, soccer, football,
basketball, swimming or a dozen other
sports, parents should be proud of the sacrifice
they make to engage their children in
athletics. Since Greek days, successful
societies have learned that mental and
physical excellence go hand in hand. I pity
the millions of children whose parents
aren’t willing to go the extra mile.
The junior tennis circuit is its own
unique world. First you play novice tournaments.
Then you move up to statewide
tournaments. After that comes the hard part
- the southern level tournaments, such as
this one in Memphis - where you travel
many hours to cities across the South in
pursuit of a southern ranking. After awhile,
you start to see the same parents and same
children. It becomes its own community.
Northsiders Jill and John Strickland are
part of that community. This weekend, it’s
Jill’s turn so I’ve gotten to hang out with
her, her tennis playing son Stedman, and
their cute daughter Eliza.
We call Stedman “Steddy,” which also
describes his tennis stroke. Stedman is one
of the top-ranked players in the South and
always used to beat Lawrence. Now they
have a chance to play in the consolation
finals.
THE MAIN DRAW finals will feature
another Northsider, young Darius Kent,
who barely beat Stedman earlier in the
tournament, and Phillipe Nino, another
Mississippian from Long Beach, who beat
Lawrence earlier in the tournament. If
Lawrence and Stedman win tomorrow
morning (I’m writing Sunday), then it will
be an all-Mississippi finals both in the main
draw and the consolation. Quite an accomplishment
out of a 23-boy draw in a city
and state much bigger than Jackson and
Mississippi. Hats off to the Jackson teaching
pros. Two other Northsiders, Russell
Roberts the number four seed, and Larry
Qu, also a top-ranked player in the South,
won matches in the tournament.
Many of the parents are old hands, having
gone through the tennis experience with
several children. Northsider Todd Roberts’
daughter Chris is the number one seed in
her age group. The Qus have three children
playing tennis all at once, making the road
My mom gave him a difficult time for
years.... that he’d be late for his own funeral.
Yet, while both families were gathered there
at the depot on one Sunday night to see all off
to market, in plenty of time for everyone
going to St. Louis to board the train, J.W., still
on the platform beneath the train, began his
inspection for each of the buyers, to make certain
that all were accounted for and on
board...slowly walking from one car into
another.
All the remaining families and children,
now a part of what was developing, began to
get into somewhat of a panic, all beginning to
shout... hurry, the train is going to leave
you...and it did.
Yet I’m not sure he ever got in a hurry for
anything of consequence, this included.
We all then heard the train conductor
exclaim... all aboard, as he signaled the engineer
to proceed north.
Enormous diesel motors revved up, we all
began to realize just what was taking place.

trips a family affair with some serious
logistical challenges.
I admit the road trips can have some fun
moments. We took the whole family to
Birmingham and made a vacation out of it.
Two road trips were just Lawrence and me,
with some real father-son bonding time.
Between matches we toured the outstanding
Memphis Zoo and strolled down Beale
Street where Lawrence was awed by the
street gymnasts. I love Beale Street, but
you realize how hard it will be for Jackson
to try to invent something like that from
scratch without real historical roots.
IT’S ENTERTAINING to watch how
the tennis parents act. Some are laid back
and some are intense. Some parents can
barely stand to watch and leave when it
gets tense. Lawrence and I spent so many
matches losing that we’re just happy to be
there.
I love tennis. I cannot imagine life without
it, but Lawrence loves it even more. He
lives and breathes tennis, and watches the
tennis channel and knows what is in every
pro’s tennis bag. His style is pedal to the
metal. He just kept hitting hard and one day
the balls started landing in. He is so
intense, so enthusiastic and has so much
heart, it’s hard not to like him, even though
he makes way too much noise out there.
Every match is the Wimbledon final to
Lawrence.
In tennis, they have to deal with defeat.
There are no teammates to blame. It’s a
tough lesson to learn, but a good one to
learn early. The youngsters call their own
lines, so they must learn to be honorable,
even when every bone in their body wants
to call their opponent’s ball out when it
lands on the outside of the line on match
point. They must learn composure. An
angry or discouraged player cannot win.
They must learn strategy, patience and guts.
Plus they get to run like crazy. A tired child
is a happy child.
In his last big match, it was a third-set
10-point tiebreaker. Lawrence was up 5-2
and started pushing the ball, trying to coast
to victory. Russell Roberts immediately
took the offensive and punished
Lawrence’s wimpiness with five straight
points to go up 7-5.
I turned to Todd. “It doesn’t get any better
than this. Best friends at the big tournament,
down to the wire, gutting it out, neither
boy giving an inch.” They were playing
unbelievably. It took a perfect shot to
win a point.
This day, it was Lawrence’s turn. He
realized there was no way Russell was
going to hand it to him. Blasting away with
all his might, Lawrence won five points in
a row to take the match. Did I mention that
I love tennis?
And the behemoth train lunged forward
(without J.W. on board), headed north to its
next stop, Brookhaven.
Not to be outdone, and still not in a hurry,
J.W. and my dad jumped into their car, raced
by car to Brookhaven, with the hope that J.W.
could board the Panama Limited, and join his
buyers already on board.
Frequently during the ensuing time of pursuit,
both train and car were running side by
side, as in an old time comic movie.
Arriving just seconds too late in
Brookhaven, only to miss the train the second
time in the same day, Dad and J.W. jumped
back into their car for the short ride to
Hazlehurst, the next stop on the trip.
And as luck would have it, the train arrived
a number of minutes late in Hazlehurst, and
J.W. was finally able to join his buyers on
board, for the continuing St. Louis run.
What you’ve just read is a true story, yet
one cannot imagine a funnier scenario taking
place.

ObamaCare II: Cost
Containment: Options
“OBAMACARE: Opaque Transparency”
was addressed in my piece last week, regretting
the superficial presentation of the legislation
the public was getting, and the vagueness
of the language in innumerable sections where
clear and explicit explanation was needed. This
piece addresses some options and implications
of cost containment - not requiring federal
expenditures.
Thomas Jefferson wrote, “Governments are
instituted among men, deriving their just powers
from the consent of the governed.” Yet we
have not been asked. It is Washington’s agenda,
not ours. And we will not like what they
are forcing. They are rushing to pass an enormous
bill that most haven’t read. We can all go
to the Internet and pull up HR 3200. It will
immediately be apparent that what is proposed
is a massive bureaucracy and a government
takeover of every aspect of medicine. This is
not “healthcare reform,” this is “healthcare
transformation.” Our current healthcare system
will, in time, disappear completely. They are
burning down the barn, rather than addressing
specific issues.
So before we bankrupt our nation and
destroy our present system, shouldn’t we first
try to address a few issues with some inexpensive
alternatives? Doesn’t that sound like common
sense?
I OFFER OPTIONS in three areas involving
no federal expenditures.
Number 1. Health Insurance Cost.
Traditional plans with more comprehensive
coverage and lower deductibles could remain.
‘Pre-existing’ clauses should be abolished but
competitive free markets would resolve cost
issues rather than federal intervention. A major
new option would involve restructuring coverage
- for major events along the lines of motor
vehicle insurance. Imagine what our auto
insurance would cost if it covered gas, oil,
lube, tires, etc.? We need to rethink our mindset
of wanting medical coverage for everything.
Yes, “healthcare collision insurance.”
Obviously this should bring down the cost of
health insurance significantly. Also obviously,
“out-of-pocket” expenses would go up, but
Congress could give us a major break with:
Number 2. Tax Reform.
Health insurance should be tax deductible
for all, not just for businesses. And it should be
portable and ‘in state’ limitations should be
abolished. Health savings accounts/medical
savings accounts should be tax deductible. So
should every and all medically related expenses.
That should include office visits to any and
all health professionals, and any uncovered
hospital expense, inpatient or outpatient, the
costs of professionally recommended drugs,
prescription and over the counter, all other
health related expenditures such as disability
insurance and long term care insurance, etc.
And ‘wellness’ expenditures should be tax
deductible. This could include smoking cessation
programs, weight reduction programs,
nutrition courses, membership in fitness centers,
YMCA, etc. These types of endeavors
will help reduce America’s disease burden, and
as such should be encouraged and rewarded.
Our responsibility would be, of course, to keep
accurate records.
Number 3. The Truly Needy.
For these uninsured, we should resurrect
ways physicians and hospitals dealt with this
during my training years. We had charity clinics
and services, staffed (with no fees) in rotation
by all members of all hospital staffs, public
and private. Where available, young physicians
in training participated. Surgical and
obstetrical needs were met. And for the occasional
study or procedure that was beyond the
capabilities of the local hospital, referral and
transfer was arranged, usually to the hospital of
the nearest medical school in the particular
state. Some private hospital rooms were converted
from private to semi-private, and there
were even small wards...true, not necessarily
‘first class,’ but most of us fly coach anyway,
and both sections of the plane reach the same
destination.
and Implications THE UNITED STATES flag, a red, white
IMPLICATIONS. Finally, a couple of
warnings: our government plans to legislate
the cost of payments to providers. In reality,
there are only two ways these costs can go
down. And these things will happen:
1. Further reduction of reimbursement
across the board - physicians, hospitals, pharmaceuticals
etc., etc. Price fixing used to be
illegal. Destroying manufacturers’ profits will
put an end to vitally essential research and
development in the pharmaceutical and technology
industries that have kept this country in
the lead worldwide, and have benefited millions.
A disaster in the making. And it will cost
many, many lives. And further provider reductions
will impact significantly on recruiting the
best candidates for medical schools. Who will
go further in debt for four extra years of training
and education, beyond college, and then at
least three more after medical school, when
they may not earn enough to live and save for
retirement, let alone pay back their student
loans and pay the overhead of running their
medical practice? And even today, physicians
whose practice is exclusively Medicare and
Medicaid just barely stay afloat financially. In
the future many of the brightest will choose
other fields to pursue and achieve success.
Many will want a medical career, but realize
they just cannot afford it. Professional quality
will suffer.

The Banner of
Hope and Freedom
and blue piece of cloth with a blue field containing
50 white stars, is used as a national
symbol. Flag Day is in June, but at our house,
it is every day.
With only 31 words, the Pledge of
Allegiance reminds us of our nation, the
many benefits and the God who oversees all.
The words “Under God” were added to the
pledge by Congress in 1954.
For only a few, the U.S. flag is a passion of
hate - street demonstrations, setting fire to the
flag in public view, and acts of desecration.
The U.S. flag is a passion for patriotism.
There are many who love and many who
zealously support our country and many who
are willing to die for it.
The American war dead - the ultimate sacrifice
in defending our flag, were brought to
reality as Annette and I visited the Normandy
American Cemetery in Collierville - Sur-Mer,
France - a few years ago. Some 9,386
Americans are buried in the cemetery. “These
endured all, gave all, that justice among
nations might prevail and that mankind might
enjoy freedom and inherit peace.” This
inscription is in plain view as you enter the
cemetery.
From the overlook, a visitor can walk to the
beach and get a better idea of perils of those
who stormed ashore on June 4, 1944. To view
these 100-foot cliffs is somewhat amazing
and simply breathtaking. The 2nd Ranger
Battalion, commanded by Lt. Col. James E.
Rudder, climbed and seized this enemy position.
The U.S. flag is more than a piece of
2. Limit services. This means rationing. It is
inevitable; it exists worldwide in every “single
payer” country. And it will exist here.
Bureaucracy will make the rules. It will no
longer be between you and your doctor.
“Your mother is too old to justify the operation.”
“Your complaints do not justify a CAT
scan.”
“The prognosis of your cancer is unfavorable;
we cannot approve your doctor’s order
for chemotherapy.”
cloth.
At Pointe du Hoc, Annette and I sat in a
German machine gun nest. As we looked
down the barrel of the gun, a humorous hand
painted sign was positioned on the end of the
weapon: “Kilroy was here!!!” Though it was
a cold windy day, we had a laugh that
warmed our day - so grateful to be
Americans. My silent thought was “Blessed
is the nation whose God is the Lord.” (Psalm
33, v 12).
Flag Day is every day at our house.
MARINE MASTER Sergeant Percy
Webb - (1875 - 1945) wrote the following
essay:
“I am Old Glory: For more than 50 years, I
have been the banner of hope and freedom
for generation after generation of Americans.
Born amid the first flames of America’s fight
for freedom, I am a symbol of a country that
has grown from a little group of 13 colonies
to a united nation of 50 sovereign states.
Planted firmly on the high pinnacle of
American faith, my gently fluttering folds
have proved an inspiration to untold millions.
Men have followed me into battle with unwavering
courage. They have looked on me as a
symbol of natural unity. They have prayed
that they and their fellow citizens might continue
to enjoy the life, liberty and pursuit of
happiness which has been granted to every
American as the heritage of free man. So long
as men love liberty more than life itself; so
long as they treasure the principles of truth,
justice and charity for all remain deeply rooted
in human hearts, I shall continue to be the
enduring banner for the United States of
America.”
A few years ago at an awards banquet,
dean of the faculty at Susquehanna
University, Dr. Joel Cunningham, addressed
the crowd:
“People are unreasonable, illogical and
self-centered. Love them anyway. If you do
good, people will accuse you of self ulterior
motives. Do good anyway. Honesty and
frankness will get you nowhere. Be honest
and frank anyway. What you spend years
building may be destroyed overnight. Keep
building anyway.”
President Woodrow Wilson said, “The
things that our flag stands for were created by
experience of a great people.”
If you have an American flag, I strongly
suggest you proudly unfurl her each day.
Long may she wave.
Christ claimed three things only God can
do:
1) Forgive sin; 2) Raise the dead;
3) Judge all men.
Walter Redden is a Northsider.
And the list goes on... and on...and on.
PLEASE, AMERICA, think on these
things. Be careful what you wish for. And
demand that Congress exercise responsibility:
slow down and listen. Our system is not perfect.
But this radical and overreaching legislation
should be killed, not modified; do not
“seek compromise.” Start from scratch, not
with an agenda, as they have, but with honesty.
Identify and deal with issues individually.

“Our operational mills are at 39.77. We and Rankin
County go back and forth over who has the lowest rate,

I want to switch gears one more time and ask about
the 16th section land lease issue. Tell me about the
opinion the district received from the attorney general.
“Let me back up for a minute. Statewide, 16th section
land generates about a million dollars in revenue for public
schools, with $260,000 coming from one section in the
middle of the city of Madison. There are 600,000 square
miles of 16th section land in the state and one square mile
produces 25 percent of the state’s revenue. The secretary
of state, earlier this year, proposed a change in the
methodology of how leases were calculated. The proposed
change would have increased leases in Madison
tenfold. The school district, the city, and the Madison
County Board of Supervisors disagreed with the proposed
methodology and asked the Mississippi attorney general
to reconsider the option on a broader basis.
“When the secretary of state (Delbert Hosemann) proposed
the change, he had an opinion that supported his
basis. It was a narrowly worded request, but he did have
it in his favor. When the district challenged it, they asked
for a broader interpretation and the AG ruled in favor of

season. The school moved to 3A this year
based on its previous year’s enrollment.
MHSAA does not take into account the size
of athletic teams.
TAYLOR REPLACES Dave Bradberry,
who took a position with MHSAA. He said
one of the biggest challenges this year will
be keeping the main players rested so they
don’t fall apart during the fourth quarter.
“Our biggest problem is depth,” he said.
“We’ll be playing teams that can platoon a
lot more kids than we can.”
Taylor will rely on the team’s seven returning
seniors, including standout wide receiver/defensive
back Michael Taucher, who
was second on the team in receptions and
touchdowns in the 2008 season.
As a junior, Taucher had 15 catches and
313 yards for four touchdowns.
Wide receiver/defensive back Davis
Woodall, running back/offensive lineman
Alexander McRae, offensive lineman/defensive
lineman Cameron McRae, wide receiver/defensive
back John Sullivan and place
kicker/punter Conner Buechler are also key
to the team’s success, he said.
Several juniors will also be key players, as
well as sophomore quarterback Drew Rowell.
Woodall believes the step up will make
the team better in the long run. “This will be
a measuring stick to see what we can handle,”
he said, standing outside the weight

room. “But when you get down to it, football
is just football.”
THE SAINTS went 8-3 last year, losing
two regular season games and the first
round of the playoffs. “It was the first time
in five years we lost in the first round,” said
offensive coach Joe Ray. “We’ve been pretty
successful the last six or seven years.”
The two regular season losses came at the
hands of Forest High School, which went on
to the MHSAA Class 3A state championship
game, and in-county rival Madison-
Ridgeland Academy (MRA). In that game,
the Patriots outscored St. Andrew’s 31-14,
allowing only 272 yards in total offense.
Against Forest, the Saints were outscored
39-20 and were held to 134 yards rushing
and 147 yards passing.
THE SAINTS will again face Forest this
year, as well as Class 3A powerhouse
Magee High. St. Andrew’s will still take on
their other in-county rival, the Bruins at St.
Joseph Catholic School.
Alexander McRae said Forest will be a
challenging match. “We played them last
year and a player got hurt,” he said. He believes
Velma Jackson High will be a tough
game as well and might lead to another incounty
rivalry.
Ray said keeping players rested might be
easier than expected with such a large freshman
and junior class. The team’s roster is

dozen juniors, many of whom have already
had a good bit of playing time. “Last year,
nine kids had catches,” he said. “That helps
us going into this season, because we can
rotate a good number of players in and out
of the ballgame.”
TAYLOR previously coached at Gulfport
High and retired from Madison Central in
2005. “I retired a year and a half, and then I
went to Gulfport. Then this position opened
up in December,” he said, referring to the
job at St. Andrew’s. “I started here in mid-
February.”
Among the coach’s achievements, Taylor
has built teams at several struggling schools
and served as athletic director and head
coach at Madison the year it split with
Ridgeland. “We went from 90 to 60 kids
like that,” he said. Four years after the split,
he led Madison Central to a nine or 10-win
season and took the district title.
His first head job was at Harrison Central
High 20 years ago. By his third year, the
team posted an 8-2 record and took the district
title. “I left because they wouldn’t establish
a program,” he said.
Taylor hopes to have the same success at
St. Andrew’s, but believes his most important
task is teaching his players to be contributing
adults. “Very few people make the
journey to the pros,” he said. “And for the
ones that do, it doesn’t last long.”

“Of course, we hoped things would grow, but we’re amazed
at how things have progressed.”
Continued from Page One
(The association now has about 30 members.),
leaders in the corridor say much
work remains to be done to ensure the
area’s future growth and success.
The association is in the middle of a
membership drive to grow participation.
And when that’s done, some say that the
group will need to focus on transitioning
from a limited liability corporation (LLC)
to a nonprofit entity.
“This is not where we need to be,” said
Cleve Barham, association member and
owner of Fine Eyes, an upscale optical
store that located to the Jackson Street district
in December. “Prior to the fall festival
last year, we didn’t have time to form a
nonprofit. We need to get that done so the
association won’t have to pay taxes.”
Last year, the district was considering
joining the Mississippi Main Street Association.
One of the requirements for obtaining
Main Street status was forming an
association to implement the organization’s
recommendations.
Another was having city officials agree
to financially back the district’s projects, a
costly undertaking for any municipality.
The city decided to hold off on joining
Main Street, but Barham said becoming a
nonprofit will have other benefits, such as
increasing fund-raising opportunities.
“Some companies won’t participate until

neighborhood off of Mississippi 463, pointing out many
problem areas.
In addition to potholes, some portions of the paved roadway
had begun turning back to gravel, and in other spots,
water seeps through the surface from underground. Small
culverts have also made drainage along the streets a nightmare.
“It’s a joyous day for Annandale, Ingleside and Sundial,”
he said. “We’re excited to say the least, because within a
short period of time, we’re going to drive on smooth, safe
roads. It’s something that should have happened a long time
ago.”
Shortly after the annexation was official, Madison quickly
we have nonprofit status,” he said, adding
that the group has approached larger corporations
for donations, but have been
turned away because company policy only
allows them to give to nonprofit organizations.
ALAN HART, the city’s director of
community development, pointed out several
reasons for not joining Main Street.
“Jackson Street has created its own association
that serves a very similar purpose,”
he said. He also noted that city and business
leaders have already conducted most
of the planning that Main Street brings to
the table.
Additionally, he said one of the requirements
on the city’s part would be to hire a
manager to oversee projects in the area,
something Ridgeland can’t afford during
the recession.
The municipality has multiple commercial
districts, including Reniassance,
Northpark, Lake Harbour Drive and Old
Canton Road. “It would be hard to justify
hiring a manager for one area and not doing
it for others,” he added.
The Jackson Street District Association
hosts an annual fall festival, the second of
which is slated for October 3, and a Bunny
Hunt Easter Egg hunt, which will be held
in the spring. Betsy Liles, owner of B.
Liles Studio, said that event is co-spon-
Roads in the Annandale Subdivision will be included in ones marked for improvement
sored by two churches in the area, First
Baptist Church of Ridgeland and the First
United Methodist Church.
Liles was one of the first business owners
to move to the overlay district about
four years ago and has watched as the area
around her business has sprung to life. In
recent months, Fine Eyes, Libby Story and
Co., Chandeliers, Amy Head Cosmetics
and Kincade’s Fine Clothing have all
opened their doors.
KEITH KINCADE, owner of Kincade’s,
was attracted to the area for several
reasons, ranging from its location between
the capital city and Madison, to the number
of independent businesses located in
the area, something that adds to the district’s
charm.
He said business owners along Jackson
Street have a “we’re all in this together”
attitude, and will often refer their clients to
other shops in the corridor to increase
sales. They will also pitch in to make larger
projects like Dog Days a success.
“We all did our part. Everyone in the
shopping center helped to pay for it and
numerous people jumped in to help out,”
he said. “We sold 700 hotdogs and hamburgers.”
The Jackson Street overlay district was
adopted by the city on December 19,
1995, in part, to spur economic develop-
got to work filling potholes and fixing minor problems. City
officials also updated the engineering study that was conducted
for the county years ago.
A LARGE percentage of Annandale’s nine miles of roadway
will have to be dug up and replaced. While roads in the
newest part of the city will be repaired, Robinson said funding
will also be used in the older portion of Madison as well.
At the time of publication, Robinson didn’t have the exact
figures available. He said part of the other $5 million will go
for repaving projects in the Post Oak, Trace Vineyard and
Highland Ridge subdivisions.
“There are numerous areas around town that will be affected,”
he noted.

ment and to create a pedestrian-friendly
town center for Ridgeland.
Much of the parking is located behind
shopping centers and along the railroad
tracks to reduce tie-ups on the heavily
traveled Jackson Street. And the area is
characterized by late 19th century architecture
and large sidewalks.
The district is home to a mix of locally
owned shops and restaurants, as well as
two churches.
BLAYLOCK told the Sun that several
developers have purchased lots for additional
building, including Bobby Moorehead
and Steve Kennedy.
Kennedy owns Olde Towne Square, a
23,000-square-foot center with two, twostory
buildings and a courtyard. Most of
the businesses located to the center between
October and December 2008.
He has about 4,000 square feet left for
lease, enough room for two or three retailers.
Kennedy believes the area will grow
into a corridor similar to Highland Village
in Jackson, complete with specialty shops
“where the person waiting on you is actually
the owner.”
However, he wouldn’t object if a national
retailer wanted to locate there. “I wouldn’t
turn it down, but most of my space is
between 4,000 and 5,000 square feet. National
chains want more space.”

not fail thee, nor forsake thee.

“WHEN PIGS FLY” has been
described as a whimsical step
back in time. It has also been
called a “memory store,”
because as our customers
browse, we hear “I remember
seeing that when I was a child,”
or, “My grandmother had one
just like that.” We are surrounded
by wonderful antique shops,
a truly inviting bookstore, a
favorite art gallery, a specialty
coffee shop, and unique restaurants.
This week’s featured treasure
is an original Myra Green
(mother of Lynn Green Root)
watercolor dated 1952. For
more information - give Larry a
call at 601-750-9552. Visit us at
202 W. Leake St., in Olde Towne
Clinton. We are open Tuesday -
Saturday from 10 a.m. - 5 p.m.
Have a specialty soft drink, sit
and visit, and if something
strikes your fancy, we’ll make a
deal with you, wrap it up, and
even carry it to your car for you!

Daughter’s
memories
of the golden
days at
Brent’s Drugs
B ACK
WHEN Brent’s Drugs first
opened, it was a full service pharmacy,
and my daddy’s philosophy
(the customer is always right) was
meant for everyone who worked there.
Down through time, that same principle
has stayed with the drugstore.
For many years Brent’s has been a popular
northeast Jackson meeting place.
Some of the friends, loyal customers, and
members of my daddy’s old poker club
are: Dr. Bill Smithson, Dr. Bill
Lotterhoss, Fred Sullins, who was editor
of the Clarion Ledger for many years,
Johnnie Cleveland, John Hand, Johnnie
Sellers, who had a monopoly on
Jackson’s Cadillac dealership after World
War II, Dr. Frank Collette, a man with a
wooden leg who kept his poker winnings
in the leg, Mayor Allen C. Thompson,
Tiny Sampson, Bagby Hall, Dr. Joe
Melvin, Jack Schultz, Bill Montgomery,
Leon Burton. Other regulars were Mrs.
Westbrooke, Martha Maher, Mr. and Mrs.
Jasper Lowe, Colonel Birdsong, Dr.
Cooprey Shands, Tom Crockett, Tom
Abernathy, Mrs. Vera Davis, Edith
Hamilton, Jessie Mallette, Dr. Blair
Batson, Tim Leonard and Nick Greener.
Through the years, numerous governors
and other local, state, and national politicians
were customers. Probably one of
the most well-known figures was Miss
Irene Breland, who had dedicated her life
to teaching in the public schools and was
beloved by all her students. She finally
succumbed to death at age 99, not from
old age, but after being robbed and beaten
in her carport.
All of these people are old Northeast
Jacksonians, too many of whom are now
gone. I’ve left out so many people, but
there simply isn’t room in this column for
me to list them all and, truth to tell, my
brain isn’t what it used to be.
And to further illustrate this age thing, I
Stay in style...
must apologize to Dolly Burt. The Doll
House is still very much in business. I
knew this, but when I listed in another
article the shops and businesses that have
come and gone at Woodland Hills, I
worded it incorrectly.
HOWEVER, THERE IS another person
I do remember correctly - the man
who was my daddy’s wonderful business
partner for many years and who always
called me ‘little sister,’ Doc Noble.
Shortly after the store opened, a pair of
young twins came to work for the soda
fountain, Ed and Ned Sweeney. Their
daddy told my daddy, “Mr. Brent, if these
boys give you any trouble, you just let me
know.” And they never did. Just 15 when
they started working for the drugstore, the
two of them were always perfect gentlemen.
Keep in mind that my daddy was from
the old school. Back in the early ’60s,
when Jackson’s lunch counters and
restaurants were integrated, he threatened
to take out the bar stools. But that didn’t
happen. Instead, he changed his mind and
everyone was welcome at our store, as
they needed to be. And when openings
came up for black policemen in Jackson,
my father recommended those two nice
young men, Ned and Ed Sweeney, to his
friend, Mayor Allen C. Thompson. They
were hired. To the best of my knowledge,
they were the first black policemen the
city of Jackson ever had. We were so
proud of and for them.
WHEN MY FATHER was barely 60
years old, he had the beginnings of
Alzheimers. None of us knew what it
was, or recognized it back then, and without
consulting anyone he sold the store to
two of his faithful employees, Paul Heflin
and Bob Grantham. The sale surprised his
family, but it was time for him to step

down and let them take over.
And, as it has a way of doing, time
moved on. My father passed away quietly
at Lakeland Nursing Home April 28,
l986. When he died, Ned and Ed
Sweeney asked to ride their motorcycles
and escort him on his final journey from
Wright and Ferguson, the funeral home
my grandfather Warren Ferguson, cofounded.
My soul was thrilled to see
those two loyal friends stand with their
hands over their hearts at the red lights
and crossroads, then zoom ahead of us to
prepare the way at the next stop. Ned and
Ed led the Brents, the Boggans and our
family and friends to Lakewood
Cemetery. After all these years, I still cannot
tell of this without crying.
Sadly, Ed has since died. Ned is still
alive. We see him on television every
now and then. Some years ago, the last
time we saw each other, he said, “I carry
that writeup you did about me and Ed
leading your daddy’s funeral procession
in my billfold.”
What lovely gentlemen they were! And
what good friends.
On down the line, Bob Grantham and
Paul Heflin sold Brent’s to Randy
Calvert. Although he never met my
daddy, on through the years, Randy kept
my daddy’s name and tradition alive.
BRENT’S HAS BEEN a northeast
Jackson landmark since l946 and it will
still be a soda fountain. And hopefully, its
many loyal customers will continue to
support it as they have done in the past.
I am proud to say that I was a Brent,
that my Daddy was Alvin Brent, and that
he built Brent’s Drugs. All through the
years, everyone who worked in the store
stayed true to his way of thinking. Even
now, some 63 years later in 2009, my
daddy’s philosophy that the customer is
always right has been kept alive.

Anniversary
Stuarts celebrate 60 years of marriage
MR. AND MRS. James Burnham
Stuart Jr. celebrated their 60th wedding
anniversary at the Country Club
of Jackson May 28. Joyce and Jim
were married on May 28, 1949 at
Central Presbyterian Church in
Jackson by Dr. Marc Weersing.
The couple met at Mississippi State
College where both were students.
Jim attended State on a football scholarship
after graduating from Central
High School in the class of 1945.
Joyce was born and raised in Biloxi,
and was graduated from Biloxi High
School in the class of 1945.
After graduating from MSU in
Lottie and Willard Boggan
1949, Jim taught and coached football
at Forest Hill High for one season. He
was then employed by General
Motors Acceptance Corp. He worked
for GMAC for 34 years and took early
retirement to become senior vice president
at Mid South Insurance
Company. (Later the company name
changed to MSD Corporation.) Jim
was named president, vice chairman
and CEO of MSD Corporation in
1995, after the death of Harold W.
Busching.

JUNIOR
Auxiliary of
Madison-
Ridgeland’s 2008 provisional
class facilitated an
Internet safety seminar
for Madison Middle
School parents and students.
The class demographics
range in a 25
year age span and vary in
ethnicity. Among the provisionals’
professions are
a teacher, a stay-home
mom, a pharmaceutical
representative, a human
resources representative, a
retiree, and a television station
representative.
The group of 10 chose to
plan the evening event after
seeing a need for getting
important tips and precautionary
suggestions for
Internet safety out to the
community.
Planning and implementing
the program spanned
approximately three months, and hours spent on the project
reached approximately 200. The class divided into
three preparation groups to plan for the event: curriculum,
audience outreach, and event logistics.
Professionally trained speakers for the event included
Investigator Jay Houston with the Mississippi Attorney
Donna Kaye Byrd, Kelly Waldrop, Shelby Trusty, Nicole Irwin, Tina Leung; (front) Brenda Senn,
Diane Sullivan, Tara Cote, Sangeeta Purohit, Anna Brown

General’s Office Cyber Crimes Division; Chris Webb,
associate minister of education, from First Baptist
Church of Jackson; and Investigator Shannon Beaver
from the Madison Police Department. Webb spoke on
social networking sites, such as Facebook, and Houston
covered a more technical aspect along with the national
statistics.
THE CLASS designed
mouse pads with Internet
safety tips and the JAMR
logo imprinted on them.
The mouse pads were
among the items passed
out at the event. The
class also compiled and
distributed a brochure
with Internet safety tips
and information about
the chapter.
Approximately 50 parents
and students attended
the seminar.
Following the event, 200
mouse pads and brochures
were distributed at other
area middle schools to
reach even more students.
Active JAMR members
also attended the seminar,
which was integrated as an
education hour for the chapter.
Crown Club members
joined the group to assist
with greeting the participants.
Funding for the project was provided by the sales of
cheesecakes. The class raised $1,300 by selling the
cheesecakes. The group also secured a national business
willing to donate items for the project.

Gardening Glimpses
IN EVERY GARDEN, there should be
something every day that makes you
happy. Happy to be a gardener, happy
with the piece of land on which you live,
just happy to be alive. Ideally, it ought to
be something that makes you happy both
looking out a window and happy when you
go out to visit this particular plant, be it
perennial border, bulb bed, rose hedge,
shrub or tree. If you don’t have such a destination,
try to plan for one.
I have been exceedingly happy all this
week, and anticipate many more such
weeks in the normal course of gardening in
Mississippi in the heat of summer. The reason:
a pair of crepe myrtles which were
late coming into bloom, a couple of weeks
past their normal time, but which are now
full in stature and full of color.
One of them is a ‘Tuscarora’ crepe myrtle.
It belongs to the group of
Lagerstroemia hybrids, crosses of L. indica
and L. fauriei, bred at the National
Arboretum in Washington, D.C., in an
effort to capture the vigor and beauty of
the old-fashioned crepe mytle, L. indica,
but provide mildew resistance and, on
some selections, the beautiful mottled cinnamon-brown
bark so beautiful in the winter.
I bought my first Tuscarora (all of the
National Arboretum crosses bear names of
Indian tribes) because of curiosity, and
friendship with many members of the
Tuscarora Daffodil Society in
Pennsylvania, named for a famed Indian
tribe of the area. But when I realized that
the deep rose-colored blooms were so very
close to the old-fashioned “watermelon
red” crepe myrtles that were beset by
mildew every year, I bought more of them.
This particular Tuscarora can be seen
from the bay window of the keeping room
and from the large window over the
kitchen sink. It must be 30 feet tall, at least,
and since I’ve not pruned so diligently, it’s
not ice-cream-coned shaped, but more of a
half-opened umbrella. It is growing up
more than out, trying to reach open sunshine.
I think another secret is that it gets
run-off when we are watering the adjoining
lawn. And it just looks beautiful! It must
be showing its appreciation for my efforts
on its behalf. Right after the Thanksgiving
weekend of 2001 and its category three
tornado, this small tree was snapped off
about 12 inches high. My husband built a
four-sided scaffolding to protect it from the
chain saws of the cleanup crew, and I also
gave a stern lecture to all the workers.
THE OTHER crepe myrtle that delights
me at the present time can be seen from
the study window, but it also greets every-

Grandparents are Thomas
one who arrives by car. I do not always
remember why I plant small trees where I
do, but for both of these, I made the right
choices. This one has no official name, but
I call it ‘Cemetery Pink,’ because my gardening
friend from Tishomingo County
rooted it from a cutting or a side piece of a
tree in a local graveyard. It has been a victim
of mildew in the past, and I just took
the can of Lysol spray out and attacked the
powdery white stuff. It seems, however, to
have outgrown this tendency, as children
outgrow allergies. It, too, was snapped off
in 2001, and seems to be saying, “Thank
you” for my preservation efforts of scaffolding
and persistent reminders.
I have gradually accepted the fact that I
must provide crepe myrtles with at least a
chance of full sunshine, or the opportunity
to grow toward it. You can’t fight the laws
of botany with much success.
A good question to ponder: Do you take
more pleasure in gardening successes that
you imagine, plan, and work for, or from
those that just happen? I don’t know.
OUR MOST successful venture in the
kitchen garden, by far, is our row of blueberry
bushes. Yes, I know I write about
them at least once every summer, but they
are a pleasure every year. We accidentally
did everything just right, which is a wonder
in itself. We moved most of these out
here in late November, the year we sold
our house in town and moved into little
more than four walls, a roof, and doors that
lock. We planted them where we could,
and where we thought we’d eventually
have a vegetable garden. This is south-facing
land sloping to the pond, probably very
acid soil, which is good for blueberries. We
dug the holes a little larger than the root
ball so we could fill in with pure peat
moss, watered some when we remembered,
and went on to more pressing matters,
like putting in insulation and painting
sheetrock.
That has been 23 growing seasons ago,
and each year they make us happy. We
have never ever fertilized those blueberries.
Nor have we given them any extra
water, in any kind of season. We rarely get
around to pruning, and if we do, it’s more
cosmetics and convenience, at the base of
the plant so we can mow, rather than lowering
the height of the plants. I do thin out
all the dead twiggy growth before summer’s
over. That’s it.
We did a good job of plant selection.
These are all rabbit-eye blueberries, of
course, for this climate. One, the largest, is
‘Tif-Blue,’ a great pollinator. I try to keep
these berries separate when we pick,

because they are not so sweet; their tartness
makes them better for jelly and sauce
than eating on cereal. The others were
reputed, in the mid-1980s, to be good cultivars.
And they have been. I can’t remember
the names (rather, I can’t remember
where I put the planting map - I happen
upon it every three or four years). But I
know the location of the two with the
sweetest berries, for eating out of hand.
They open over a period of two weeks,
starting right after Memorial Day, and this
year we were picking on July 18, two
weeks longer than usual.
And, you might ask, as others do, what
about the birds? Do you net them? Do you
have a scarecrow, or hang flashing aluminum
strips? We do nothing. We come
early in the morning, from early June until
By Mrs. Herman McKenzie
mid-July, and pick, at least every other day.
Or sometimes at evening. And often the
bluejays fuss at us for (temporarily) interfering
with their snacks. But although we
pick diligently and give some away and let
others come pick, there’s always enough
for us and for the birds.
Now that’s gardening success, by anybody’s
definition.

FROM THE MOMENT A visitor enters the home
of Juliet Johnston, it is evident that she is an artist
and an art lover. Johnston is a potter and a member
of the Craftsmen’s Guild of Mississippi. Her own
pottery as well as pottery and artwork of her friends are
everywhere in her home. “I love art,” she says, “and I
swap out art with friends. Often I give away pieces that
people see at my home and admire. I am glad to encourage
anyone who is interested in art.”
Johnston was reared in Cleveland, and was graduated
from Oxford’s University High School. From there she
attended Delta State University where she received a
degree in accounting, then to Mississippi College for a
master’s degree in business. Until Delta State, Johnston
had no particular interest in art, though she grew up in a
home that smelled of artists’ turpentine. “My grandmother
and aunts painted with oils. I thought a home was
supposed to smell of turpentine.” On a whim, she took
art and ceramics as electives while at Delta State. “I
enjoyed those two classes so much I took all the art
courses I could as electives.”
But marriage, motherhood and full-time employment
with the federal government took over her life for the
next years, though she now says, “It was always in my
mind to do ceramics. I think I knew the first time I
touched clay that this was what I wanted to do.”
After 21 years at Small Business Administration she
retired, and looking for a change of pace, Johnston
moved for one year to Oregon where one of her daughters
lived. There she took more classes which only confirmed
in her mind that pottery was to be in her future.
“I came home, bought a wheel and kiln, and worked
hard. I realized I was good, but not as good as I wanted
to be. I saw I needed more art study, a better understanding
of art generally, before I could be better with clay,”
she comments. So she signed up for art classes at
Jackson State University. “Those classes — painting,
drawing, theory, design and color — blew my mind.
JSU has an excellent art department, and I learned so
much there.”
JOHNSTON HAS TURNED a generous part of
her Northside home into a well-equipped working studio
and display and sales area. The process of creation
is slow and tedious, she explains. First Johnston cuts
off a piece of clay from its 25-pound block. She then
kneads it like bread to get the air out of it. For a bowl
or vase she forms the clay into a ball and throws it on
the wheel, putting just the right amount of pressure
on it until it is centered on the wheel. Next she places
her thumbs into the center of the ball, opens it out
and pulls up the sides. This process takes 10 or 15
minutes. The shaped piece is set aside for a day to air
dry until the clay firms.
At the proper point, the bowl is put back on the
wheel for trimming and final shaping. Any design is
placed on it at that time. Another two-day air-drying
by GLENDA WADSWORTH | photography by BETH BUCKLEY
period follows before the piece is put in the kiln and
baked for two days. She next applies a glaze and bakes
the bowl in the kiln for two more days before it is pronounced
finished. “I make my own glazes. I constantly
test and experiment, always trying new and different
things.”
She continues, “When I sit down, I know what I
want to make. But sometimes the clay just takes
over and tells me what it wants to be. That’s
always fun. It doesn’t bother me when the bowl
or pot doesn’t turn out to be perfect, because I
generally have learned something from the
process.”
BRUCE O’HARA, PROFESSOR of
fine arts at Tougaloo College, has worked
with Johnston and says of her work, “Her
ceramics are beautiful, well crafted and
elegant. They have a certain simplicity
that speaks quietly - a little
touch of special color here, a line
there. They reflect her quiet personality
and generous nature.”
Her most popular works include
serving pieces, bowls, cups and mugs,
angels, ceramic flowers and small
vases. Her showy pieces are colorful
and flamboyant. Unusual pieces are
asymmetrical bowls, and
ceramic paintings, large flat
pieces of clay on which
whimsical scenes are
painted.
“I love to create yard
art,” she says, and her
own yard is an eye
feast of her yard
art: turtles, frogs,
bird feeders, tall
ceramic flowers
and planters.
She has also
fashioned
sculptures,
masks, tiles
for use in
the home,
and other
architectural
ceramics. “My ideas never stop. I make one thing and
think of 10 more.”
When she finished with classes at Jackson State,
Johnston knew that she wanted to make a living with her
pottery. “You need a lot of
drive. Pottery is hard
work, and ceramics
tend to dictate your
life. I started out
doing many little
craft shows. I
made about 200
craft shows
those first
eight years,
but then I
narrowed

my participation to those in Vicksburg, Clinton, Chapel
of the Cross Day in the Country, the Chimneyville Craft
Show and Peter Anderson in Ocean Springs. Sometimes
I show at the Saturday farmers market on High Street.”
Her work is also shown at Artichoke, Southern Breeze
Gallery, Craftsmen’s Guild and The Attic in Vicksburg,
as well as other galleries in south Mississippi and
Alabama. And she sells regularly out of her home.
Her learning is ongoing. She continues to study with
Robert Pickenpaugh of Madison. Pickenpaugh recalls,
“Johnston was instrumental in getting pottery classes

“ When
I sit

started at Tougaloo. When
I was asked to teach those
classes, I agreed provided
they could get me a good
assistant. And Johnston
became my assistant at
that time. And she was an
assistant’s dream. She was concerned about the students
and always went the extra mile.”
Pickenpaugh praises Johnston’s pioneering spirit. “It is
important in pottery - in any art - to strive for new

expressions. Juliet has a real love for the clay and an
appreciation of the earth. She has a sensitive touch with
pottery and creates unique pieces that people love.”
