WORK COULD START THIS SUMMER
Reunion interchange closer to reality
By ANTHONY WARREN
Sun Staff Writer
MADISON COUNTY officials say the
money is in place and work could begin this
summer on the interchange that will connect the
Reunion-Annandale Parkway.
District Two Supervisor Tim Johnson, one of
the project’s most enthusiastic supporters, said
the Mississippi Department of Transportation
(MDOT) and Federal Highway Administration
should sign off on the plans for the $34 million
project in the next 60 days.
Once the plans are approved, the county will
be able to file for a permit to proceed. From
there, the board can begin advertising for bids
and hire a contractor for the project. He said
work on the interchange could be finished by
the end of 2010.
“We look to turn dirt sometime this year,” said
Johnson, a former board president. The second
Children’s delight!
Habitat benefit planned
Area builders will showcase their skills to raise money
for Habitat for Humanity/Metro Jackson. From 2 until
4 p.m., May 16, Habitat for Humanity/Metro Jackson
staff and volunteers will take over the west parking
area of the Renaissance at Colony Park. During the
afternoon, one-of-a-kind playhouses will be on display,
along with space jumps, face painting, a coloring
booth, Inky the Clown’s Half Ring Circus, popcorn,
snow cones, hot dogs, cotton candy, and ice cream.
Since its inception in 2005, Habitat Hideaways has
raised more than $120,000 for Habitat for
phase of the project calls for taking the interchange
from Bozeman Road to at least
Parkway East, with plans to extend the roadway
to U.S. 51 in Madison.
The road will connect Mississippi 463 to I-55
and help alleviate traffic congestion in the area.
Johnson said it will initially be a four-lane road,
but the county has enough right-of-way and will
move utilities far enough back to expand to six
in the future.
THE PROJECT IS being paid for with
county and state dollars, as well as donations.
“We have about $30 million in the bank and $6
million from MDOT,” he said. Madison has
another $6 million in donations from businesses
who hope to develop there.
The $30 million is left over from a previous
bond issue, a portion of those funds have
already been committed to other road projects.

Office suites
A 4,861 square foot office building, divided into four suites, is
under construction on Waterford Square in Madison.
Exterior materials will be brick and mortar smear with a
slate and metal roof.
“The main purpose of this development is to
move traffic,” he said. “But we know it will
provide economic development opportunities
in the area.” There are talks of seeing as much
as $180 million invested in new retail along the
thoroughfare.
St. Dominic Hospital in North Jackson also
plans to invest in the area, a move that could
ultimately save lives for residents seeking medical
treatment.
Officials with the Northside hospital plan to
build a new acute care facility on acreage it purchased
in the area. The facility would have 75
beds and include a 173,000-square-foot medical
center and 145,000-square-foot medical
office complex.
If a certificate of need (CON) is granted by
State Health Officer Ed Thompson, the hospital
would provide an array of services, from surgery
in four operating suites to two dedicated
Humanity/Metro Jackson. The proceeds have funded
two houses for local families. Armbands for entry to
the event are $10 each, or a family of five can attend for
$40. A drawing will be held for one of the cottages.
Tickets can be purchased individually for $15, or three
for $35. Armbands and drawing tickets are available
for purchase in advance by calling 601-353-6060.
Preparing for the event are (from left) Thorne Butler,
Renee Deweese, Bridget Steed, Johnny Ray, Alison
Parr, David Welch and Harrison Young.
Christ Covenant adds two grades
SIXTH-GRADERS expecting to say
“farewell” to Christ Covenant School in
Ridgeland will now have the chance to
continue their education there for two
more years.
A desire to provide students with a
greater Christian worldview has led leaders
there to expand the middle school by
two grade levels, adding a seventh-grade
class in the 2009-10 school year and an
eighth-grade class a year later.
Headmaster Cathy Haynie explained
that teaching a Christian worldview
means teaching each subject from the per-
spective that God is the author of all
truths. “As they grow in the understanding
of science, it increases the understanding
in God,” she said.
“Our families and schools recognized
that we were not finished teaching them,
and we wanted to continue the Christian
influence through their tender middle
school years,” she said. “We’re not sheltering
them, we’re preparing them for the
world.”
The decision to expand the school
comes after completing an involved feasibility
study. “Our board looked at facilities
MDOT gives okay
to start appraising
property for project
RIDGELAND city officials
say they’re moving ahead with
plans on a project that promises
to improve traffic flow on
Lake Harbour Drive.
The Mississippi Department
of Transportation (MDOT)
recently gave the city permission
to appraise the property
needed for the $16 million
road widening project.
Once the first few appraisals
are reviewed by the transportation
department, the city will
be given the green light to
move forward with the
and finances and other determining factors
like accreditation, academics, athletics
and extracurricular activities,” she
said. Another factor also played an important
role in the decision: parental support.
“We conducted an online survey with
parents,” she explained. “Three quarters
of our parents participated, and of those,
90 percent said they’d be willing to commit
to it. That spoke strongly to us.”
Tuition will be $6,500 a year, slightly
higher than tuition in lower grades, she
said.

appraisal and acquisition
process, said Mayor Gene
McGee. He said the purchases
should be complete by summer’s
end.
To aid in the process, the
mayor and board of aldermen
voted to bring on Right-of-
Way Consultants, a firm that
will serve as the city’s right-ofway
acquisition agent. In a
previous interview, McGee
said the firm will represent the
city and make sure residents
who lose their property to the
project are treated fairly.
endoscopy suites relocated from the Lakeland
Drive campus.
While the interchange promises many benefits
for Madison residents, some leaders say the
money would be better spent maintaining the
county’s current infrastructure. Two of those
leaders are District Three Supervisor D.I. Smith
and Central District Transportation
Commissioner Dick Hall.
SMITH doesn’t want local taxpayers paying
for a project connected to a federal highway. He
said residents are already being taxed for road
projects like Reunion with ad valorem and gas
taxes.
“We are currently $6 million to $8 million
short for building the interchange,” he said. He
would support issuing bonds only if taxpayers
are given a chance to vote on it.

New report fails
to sway opinions
on LeFleur Lakes
A RECENT presentation to
the Pearl River Levee Board
hasn’t swayed the opinions of
members in favor of the much
larger Two Lakes plan.
Last week, officials with the
Washington-based ERA firm
presented an economic impact
analysis on the Lower Lake
plan, a proposal that combines
elements of the comprehensive
levee plan and LeFleur
Lakes plan to improve flood
control in the metro area.
Officials last Thursday were
also expected to hear information
on the Two Lakes plan as
well, but officials asked John
McGowan, the originator of
the project, to postpone his
presentation until the next regular
meeting on May 11.
Socrates Garrett, who represents
the Hinds County Board
of Supervisors said ERA’s
presentation was nice, but it
didn’t change his mind. In fact,
he said key issues, like flooding,
were not addressed.
The study cost the levee
board about $900,000. In all,
the body that oversees flood
control on the Pearl has spent
about $3 million on engineering
studies and fees.
“They didn’t answer my
question on whether they did a
study like this on Two Lakes,”
he said. “Until we’ve had a
chance to review it and the
other plans, it’s hard to make
INDEX

an informed decision.”
Hinds County has already
passed a resolution in support
of the Two Lakes plan. He said
he’s waiting to hear more from
McGowan on Monday.
WHILE SOME say it didn’t
mention much in the way
of flood protection, the 90minute
presentation did
address the economic benefits
the plan would provide, as
well as an estimated cost.
Molly McKay, with ERA,
said the lower lake plan would
cost an estimated $605 million
to construction, about $200
million more than the levee
board said it would cost when
it voted 5-2 in favor of the
unpopular plan in 2007.
She said the board has several
options to fund the project,
such as using the $133 million
set aside in the federal Water
Resources Development Act,
as well as $100 million in state
funds, $72 million in local
sponsors and bond money.
About $205 million would
be needed to stabilize and
expand levees; $250 million
would be needed for lake construction;
$50 million would
be needed for right-of-way
acquisition; and $100 million
would be needed to get infrastructure
to the islands.
If it’s built, the plan would

Page 2A THE NORTHSIDE SUN, JACKSON, MISSISSIPPI Thursday, May 7, 2009
Wright discusses ministry
Chris Wright was called in
September to be pastor at
North Park Presbyterian
Church in North Jackson. He
recently spoke to Northside Sun
Staff Writer Anthony Warren
about his position.
How did you become pastor
at North Park?
“I pastored a church for four
years in Linden, Ala., and I felt
the Lord was calling me to a
new ministry. I sent my
resume, which we call a data
sheet, to several churches and
North Park was one of the
churches that got it. They invited
me to come out here for an
interview. We talked, and my
wife and I thought the Lord led
us to this church.”
Tell me about the church’s
congregation. I know it’s an
older group, right?
“For the most part, it is. We
have a few younger couples
and some recent graduates
from Belhaven College, but for
the most part, the church has an
older population.”
What are some of your
goals as pastor?
“We’d like to see the church
grow and see new members
come in. But our desire is to
glorify God by being healthy in
the way we do things, meaning
that we reach out to the lost for
the right reason. We seek to
serve the poor communities in
Jackson and follow the Lord’s
leading in how we do things.
We are not willing to water
down the Gospel to attract people.”
What are some of the
church’s ministries?
“At the moment, we’re
reaching out to New Life
Ministries, a ministry to the
poor in west Jackson. Folks in
the church are working at the
camp and teaching at an innercity
after-school program once
a month. New Life also helps
needy families at Christmas
with presents and meals. The
church adopted one family, and
with the church’s generosity,
we ended up with enough
donations to help out a couple
more. We’re also involved in
Child Evangelism Fellowship,
an organization that reaches out
to what they call “Good News
Clubs,” after-school programs
for children. I and another
member go the Reservoir
YMCA and read a Bible story,
do a memory verse and teach
for half an hour to elementary
kids.”
How many members does
North Park have? Do you
plan to grow the membership,
and how?
“Our regular attendance is
between 50 and 65. Part of
growing membership is being
healthy. If we are a healthy
church and doing things for the
right reasons, just like a healthy
body will grow by nature, we
too will grow as well. We’re
doing evangelism, encouraging
folks to talk to their friends and
neighbors about Christ and the
Gospel and are seeking opportunities
to invite the public into
the church.

Chris Wright
“This summer, we’re beginning
a concert series. We’re
doing a show on one Sunday
evening a month from June to
August. In June, we’ll have a
barbershop choir. And in July,
we’ll have a couple who are
Juilliard-trained pianists who
are missionaries in Japan who
will do a concert for us. Then in
August, we’ll have an old time
hymn singing with members of
the church. We’re trying to find
ways to invite the community
into the church to serve their
needs and let people know that
we care about them and want to
share the Gospel and show
Christ to them in the way we
live.”
If people want to find out
more information about the
concert series, what do they
need to do?
“They can call the church at
(601) 362-2886. We have other
things planned for the fall and
winter as well. We’re always
trying to have something
planned for each season of the
year.”
You mentioned earlier that
you served at a church in
Linden, Ala. What’s the difference
between that area
and the metro area?
“The number of people was
the main difference. Linden is a
very small town in southwest
Alabama with a population of
about 2,000 people and maybe
a couple thousand more in the
outlying areas. My wife and I
both grew up in urban environ-
ments and we both feel very
comfortable here.”
Where are you from? How
did you go into the ministry?
“Originally, I’m from just
south of Tampa, Fla. I became
a Christian when I was 16 and
felt pretty early on that the Lord
wanted me to be in some sort of
full-time ministry. I thought I
would be a youth director, but
when I was 19, the Lord
opened my eyes to the fact that
he wanted me to be a pastor,
something that, at the time, I
didn’t want to do. I didn’t want
to go to seminary and I didn’t
want to go through the process
of learning other languages, but
the Lord convinced me otherwise.
From that point on, when
I graduated from seminary at
the age of 29, I never had any
doubt that this is what I wanted
to do. Being a pastor now for
five years, I have no doubts that
this is what the Lord wants me
to do, and this is where he
wants me to do it.”
Twenty-nine years old?
You spent a pretty long time
in school, didn’t you?
“I went to four years of college
to get my bachelor’s
degree and took some years off
to save money, because I
worked my way through
school. I took a year off for my
wife to graduate. We got married
and I spent another two
years in seminary. I wasn’t 10
years in seminary.”
So Chris, where did you go
to school?
“I went to Covenant College,
where I got my bachelor’s, and
Reformed Theological
Seminary in Charlotte, N.C.,
where I got my master’s.”
How long do you plan to
stay in Jackson?
“As long as the Lord wants
me here. That’s always a question
for pastors, how long do
you stay? We love Madison
and Jackson and we want to be
a part of the renewal we see in
Jackson over the next several
years. We could see ourselves
here until we retire, but it
depends on the leading the
Lord gives us and what direction
he wants us to go. I would
not mind at all this being my
last church, if I could pastor
here for 40 years.”

Page 4A THE NORTHSIDE SUN, JACKSON, MISSISSIPPI Thursday, May 7, 2009
Editorials I’M USUALLY a pretty calm guy,
Changing grading scale
dumbs down education
except when some big company is trying
to screw me out of a few bucks.
That’s when I get up on my moral high
horse and tell them my brother-in-law is
the biggest plaintiff’s attorney in
Mississippi (not true, just a bluff).
Not that the person on the other line
cares. They’re just hired to answer the
phone. Getting mad at them is like hitting
the wall with your fist.
Of course, you always have the option of
not paying and taking a hit on your credit
rating. A good credit rating is important.
But a perfect credit rating is just a sign of
wimpishness. Let’s face it. Sometimes
you’re right not to pay.
Here’s a classic scam. Afew months ago,
I got a letter from a book publishing company
offering to send me monthly books
on personal health. “If you do not want to
receive these monthly books, mail back
this notification declining our special
offer.”
With a stamp costing 42 cents, there’s no
way I was going to mail some company a
letter declining something I never asked
for in the first place. The books and bills
starting coming every month.
At this point, I have two options: Waste
30 minutes of my time on the phone or
ignore the bills and take a credit hit. Where
are the plaintiff’s attorneys when you need
them?
Or how about this one: I recently refinanced
my house because my friend and
mortgage banker extraordinaire Luke
Grade inflation is a pernicious academic disease in
this country, and it’s spreading throughout secondary
education.
Parents who are jockeying to get their children into
exclusive colleges or secure scholarships pressure
high school teachers to award nothing less than an
“A.” Schools, trying to increase their graduation rates
or keep some of their best athletes from being sidelined,
will give failing students a passing mark.
Awarding students higher grades than they
deserve, however, only serves to condition them
toward mediocrity. It also sets them up for a rude
awakening when they learn from college entrance
exams that they aren’t as smart as their high school
report cards have led them to believe.
In Mississippi, this dummying-down trend is manifesting
itself in the steady shift among Mississippi
public school districts toward a 10-point grading
scale.
Presently, 73 of the state’s 152 public school districts
have adopted the 10-point scale and more are
looking at it.
From top to bottom, here are illustrations of the difference
between the two grading systems.
On the traditional scale, a student has to score 93
or better to make an A. On the 10-point scale, it’s 90
or better.
On the traditional scale, a mark below 70 is an F. On
the 10-point scale, it’s below 60.
Those who argue for the change, including the
Mississippi High School Activities Association, say
that the 10-point scale has several motivational
advantages, particularly for students who might otherwise
drop out.They contend that it also helps higher
achievers to qualify for academic scholarships and
encourages them to take more difficult classes, such
as Advanced Placement courses, since they will be
less worried about the potential negative impact on
their grade point average.
The problem, though, is that lowering the bar never
serves students or society well. If higher graduation
rates were the sole end of education, why not make
50 the passing score? Or what about 30? The easier
it is to get a high school diploma, the less value that
diploma has for everyone who receives one.
Mississippi’s Department of Education, which
presently considers grade scales to be a local prerogative,
should step in and set a statewide standard.
If not, the more districts that adopt the less demanding
10-point scale, the more the rest will feel pressure
to do likewise.
The Department of Education has made it a top priority
for Mississippi to toughen its testing standards
so that what it means to pass in this state is more
comparable to national marks. Letting school districts
lower their grading scales runs completely counter to
that goal.

Pave the Jackson roads
and forget annexation
Dear Editor:
The city of Jackson has spent approximately two million
dollars to annex Byram whose citizens do not want to be part
of Jackson. That amount may not go very far for a city the size
of Jackson, but it still would repair a lot of potholes. Let the
people there think about it every time they drive over one. Do
they like enriching a law firm trying to force this shotgun wedding?
The time and effort of the city would be better spent making
Jackson a better place to work and live. They should reverse
the exodus of residents and business, especially to Rankin and
Madison counties. Then the residents might accept annexation.
Consider Gulfport, Biloxi and Hattiesburg as a contrast.

It can be hard to avoid all the scams
IN THIS IMPORTANT race for mayor
of Jackson, I support Marshand Crisler.
We need a mayor who can bring people
together and who can create bridges
between the wealthy and those in need. We
also need a mayor who is serious about his
job and who will chart a new and better
course for our city.
On the City Council, I worked closely
with Marshand Crisler. He has demonstrated
an understanding of the issues critical to
Jackson's Northsiders, our families and our
businesses.
He has supported the council's efforts to
'open up the books' so that the citizens can
make sure their tax dollars are spent wisely
and accounted for. He supports a performance
review of all city departments by the
state auditor to guarantee that city workers
are performing as required.
As a former prosecutor I recognize the
importance of electing a mayor who is intimately
familiar with the criminal justice
system in Jackson. On the issue of crime,
Marshand Crisler has special qualifica-

Billman negotiated a killer rate for me.
Then I started getting all these letters
with Luke’s company, Homefirst
Mortgage, on the envelope.
These letters come from scammers pretending
to be associated with your mortgage
company. They get the information
from the public records at the courthouse
when your new mortgage is filed. Many
times, unaware consumers buy insurance
products because they falsely believe it’s
required by their new mortgage. I’ve gotten
about five of these fake letters. There
outta be a law.
OR HOW ABOUT the weekly offers I
get from my credit card companies. “Write
yourself a check and use the money for
anything you want. Pay no interest for a
year.”
What a great way to lower my credit card
tions. He recently retired as a Marine Corps
major after 21 years of service, part of that
spent as a military policeman. Crisler has
served from dispatcher to chief of police in
Utica. He will be tough on crime and has
the experience to do it the right way.
As mayor, Marshand Crisler will work to
INCREASE the number of police officers
interest rate, I naively thought. Borrow
money at no interest and pay down my
high-interest credit card debt.
After paying a $300 fee per check, I was
informed that these checks cannot be used
to pay down your own credit card debt.
“But it says ‘Use the money for anything
you want!’ ” I screamed at the poor Indian
fellow sitting in Bangladesh. “Anything
means anything.” Well, read the fine print.
Talk about false advertising!
Last month I turned in my wife’s leased
vehicle and got a new one from the same
company. Later, I got a bill for $1,000,
including the last two months on the old
lease which the dealer said they would take
care of.
When I tried to explain, the lady on the
telephone said, “We’re the leasing company.
We have nothing to do with the dealership.
That’s another company.” Right,
even though the two companies bear the
same name and the dealer handled everything
pertaining to my lease.
Then there was the $400 extra charge for
a “scratch” on my bumper. I dug out the
lease agreement. Sure enough, scratches
on the bumper are exempt from “excessive
wear and tear charges.” As I read the lease
language, I realized I was talking to the
wall. The company made me a “goodwill”
offer to cut the fee in half, obviously standard
operating procedure. On principle, I
refused.
“That’s no problem, Mr. Emmerich,” the
pleasant lady said. “We’ll just report it to
the credit bureau.” There ought to be a law.
City bonds should be openly bid
THE JACKSON CITY Council (in a
motion proposed by Marshand Crisler)
voted recently to refinance the 2002 and
2004 public works bond issues as Finance
Director Rick Hill claimed this will save
money and pay $10 million to the city.
(Think of a cash-out refinance on a home.)
The refinancings are based on the use of a
derivative called an "interest rate swap." In
layman's terms, the refinancings are based
on adjustable rates which can move up or
down depending on market conditions.
Interest rate swap derivatives have pummeled
cities such as Houston and Erie while
bankrupting Jefferson County, Ala.
When these bonds were first issued, the
fees associated with their issue were a combined
$1.5 million. The total amount refinanced
will be $95.2 million and the fees
will be $4.071 million.
The fees are:
Deutsche Bank (the main counterparty),
$2,380,000; Rice Financial Products (the
minority counterparty), $975,000; Sterne
Agee (the council's bond "advisor"),
$476,000; Sarah O'Reilly-Evans (City attorney),
$60,000; Baker Donelson (Outside
counsel), $120,000; Anthony Simon, LLC
(private attorney employed by city),
$60,000.
Jackson will spend $4 million dollars to
get $10 million. The original transactions in
2002 and 2004 generated much lower fees
for the involved parties even though the
amount of bonds issued was $128 million.
The 2002 bond series ($50 million) had fees
of $415,733 and the 2004 series ($78 million)
had fees of $929,064.
These services were not opened up to
competitive bidding but were privately
negotiated. One of the dirty little secrets of
the municipal bond business is too often
bonds are not bid out but instead awarded to
the fat cats who are in bed with the politicians.
A party who can provide better and
cheaper service usually has no chance of
competing for such contracts unless he
plays the game. Bloomberg reported such a
lack of bidding usually costs governments
substantially more money:
"Competitive bidding is vanishing from
public finance, raising costs to taxpayers, as
underwriters such as Zurich-based UBS AG
and Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. of New
York increasingly gain exclusive rights to
handle bond sales, data compiled by
Bloomberg shows....
“No-bid sales, known as negotiated
underwriting, have grown to 81 percent of
public finance in 2004, up from 27 percent
of public finance in 1974, according to
Bloomberg and Thomson Financial data.
No-bid sales are more expensive for taxpayers,
six academic studies have shown...."
Mississippi law does not require competitive
bidding for bond sales. Such an omission
should surprise no one as bond sales are
probably one of the most lucrative forms of
government business and the least scruti-

nized. There is no law preventing "pay to
play" when it comes to Mississippi bonds.
However some cities such as Los Angeles
and Charlotte use competitive bidding and
Jefferson County, Ala., found out it overpaid
JP Morgan Chase $100 million dollars in
fees for a bond deal that bankrupted the
county as the fees were "privately negotiated."
Blinded by visions of 10 million dollars,
Rick Hill and the City Council are hitching
Jackson's bonds to derivatives using
adjustable rates. Such rates have destroyed
local government finances across the city.
Bloomberg reported Houston is in trouble
as its interest rates on these derivatives skyrocketed
to 15 percent. See if any of this
doesn't sound familiar:
"Houston’s deputy controller, James
Moncur, figured last May the fourth-largest
U.S. city escaped the unraveling credit markets
by refinancing some of its $1.8 billion of
auction-rate bonds.
“Instead, Houston wound up paying 15
percent interest on the new securities, not
the money-market rates city officials had
anticipated. The so-called variable-rate
demand notes backfired when investors fled
the market in October, forcing the bank that
had guaranteed the bonds, Brussels-based
Dexia SA, to buy them...
The $479 billion market for the securities,
whose rates are typically reset by banks
every day or week, is turning into a quagmire
for local officials who embraced a
financing strategy they didn’t fully understand....”
QUESTIONS THAT SHOULD be
asked of Melton, Hill, Crisler, Bluntson, and
Tillman:
1. Why weren't the services which were
awarded to Sterne Agee, Baker Donelson,
and Anthony Simon opened up to competitive
bidding?
2. Why doesn't Jackson have a board or
commission similar to the zoning board
where true experts are appointed who can
examine these proposals better than city
employees and politicians who too often are
pigeons for these schemes?
3. What services were provided by the
parties who were paid on this deal?
By
JEFF
WEILL
4. What is Jackson's liability when (notice
I didn't say "if") interest rates move the
wrong way?
5. As of today under the terms of the refinancings,
what would the interest rates be?
6. What would it cost Jackson to break or
refinance this contract after it's finalized?
7. Can you guarantee Jackson will not
wind up like Houston or Jefferson County if
market conditions worsen?
8. What are Deutsche Bank and Rice's
profits from these transactions?
Jackson is about to make a huge mistake
as it will surely get burned when the interest
rates for these swaps change, and they
always change. We have not been told why
these parties were chosen. We don't know if
Jackson could have received more money
than the 10 million dollars because we didn't
solicit bids from other parties. One of the
leading experts on these municipal derivatives
told me if Jackson receives 10 million
dollars, Deutsche Bank was probably going
to repackage and sell these or obtain a hedge
from the markets shortly afterward and
make a great deal more money. He also
made it clear Hill was probably approached
by Deutsche Bank and Rice Financial
Products as most finance directors are not
investment gurus. The banks track these
bonds, crunch the numbers, and then
approach the cities with their sales pitches.
The government officials don't understand
how these things work or how the banks can
screw them on these deals so they bite at the
offers only to find out later the fruit was poisonous.
What probably happened is the following
scenario: Hill is responsible for submitting a
budget to the city council. Tax revenue is
down. He probably had this proposal (and
possibly others) on his desk and saw a way
to get some money to bail him out of this
mess. The rates are low, he probably won't
be working for Jackson next year, so if he
can fix the problem now, it's someone else's
problem after this summer. However,
Jackson will be left holding the bag when
everything hits the fan one day and
Deutsche Bank and Rice come calling for
their juice. While we worry about paying
the vig to these loan sharks, O'Reilly-Evans,
Sterne, Baker, and Simon are laughing all
the way to the bank.
Jackson should say no to these swaps. Just
as millions of homeowners gambled with
adjustable rate mortgages and lost their
homes, so will Jackson fare if it uses these
"variable" rate swaps. There should be a
committee of true experts who can structure
the best deal for Jackson, as these poobahs
have no clue what they are doing when it
comes to finance. If these companies can
not provide true disclosures, including profit
estimates, then Jackson should not make
any agreements with them. It's about time
we started holding these companies and
politicians responsible for what they are
doing with our money.
James Hendrix is a Northsider.
to protect us and make sure those officers
are well paid and properly equipped, while
at the same time working to REDUCE
excess civilian employees in the Jackson
police department.
Marshand Crisler is the best qualified
candidate in the race for mayor. His long
history of public service in law enforcement
as a deputy sheriff and narcotics officer,
his military service in both the U.S.
Marine Corps and U.S. Air Force, and his
eight years on the City Council where he
has served as council president and budget
chairman have all shaped this dynamic
family man, married for more than 22
years, into a leader of the first caliber.
With a unique ability to work with people
without regard to race, class or economic
status, Marshand Crisler will make an
excellent mayor and I encourage
Northsiders to go to the polls and support
him.

Luncheon address
Duane O’Neill, president of the Greater Jackson Chamber
Partnership, addressed more than 75 members at the

the Old Capitol Inn. O’Neill enlightened members on eco-

“We want the people we buy
from to be taken care of,” he
said. “We will bend over backward
to help them.” In all,
about $4.5 million will be
spent on right-of-way and
easements. The rest of the $16
million is needed for engineering
fees and construction.
Earlier last year, the city
approved contracts from two
appraisal firms to value the
property. The first was an
$84,000 contract to Appraisal
Solutions to conduct the primary
evaluations. The second
was to Old Town Realty and
Appraisals for $35,400, to
evaluate the first estimates.
RIDGELAND will take in
about 80 properties for the
project, including 14 homes
along the heavily traveled
roadway. In addition to that,
the city also has to obtain
some front yards as well as
temporary easements to
ensure that the project is a success.
He said the city wants to
make sure residents who have
to move are put in a comparable
house in the city limits.
“If a person has a house valued
at $150,000, and we can
only find a house for
$175,000, we’ll put that person
in the house,” he said.
The project calls for widening
Lake Harbour to five lanes
along a 2.5-mile stretch of
roadway between U.S. 51 to
Northpark Drive. In some
areas, two lanes will be added,
while three lanes will be added
in others. It is one of two projects
designed to accommodate
traffic in the busy area.
In addition to that, the city
also hopes to connect the road
Airport improvements
Dirk Vanderleest, CEO of the Jackson Municipal Airport
Authority, recently spoke to the Rotary Club of Jackson. He

to Highland Colony Parkway.
According to the Ridgeland
Area Master Plan, commonly
referred to as RAMP, the project
will include taking the road
west from U.S. 51, creating a
flyover bridge at I-55 and connecting
it to the parkway.
That project will cost the city
another $20 million. “We’re
still waiting on MDOT to give
us approval on that,” McGee
said. A memorandum of
understanding on the project
has been put on the city’s
agenda, but had to be taken off
for some modifications.
“We’ve already finished the
initial design and environmental
work,” McGee said. Once
MDOT approves the plans, the
city will have to hold a public
hearing to inform residents
about the project.
LAKE HARBOUR is one
of Madison County’s busiest
east-west thoroughfares, with
a large number of residential
and commercial areas.
According to a 2007 traffic
count map on MDOT’s Web
site, about 17,000 vehicles use
Lake Harbour each day.

Plan
(Continued from Page One)
create a six-mile lake at the
lower end of the two counties
and two islands totalling 215
acres. It would create about 12
miles of developable shoreline
and open up roughly 825 acres
for new development.
According to a 30-year
buildout, McKay said the plan
would generate roughly 7,500
new detached single-family
units, townhouses, multifamily
homes for sale and multifamily
homes for lease.
Another 280,000 square feet
of commercial space would be
built out over the next 30
years, generating new tax dollars
to repay the money borrowed
for its construction.
“Revenues line up well with
costs,” said Patrick Phillips,
with ERA, adding that he
thinks the project is the right
proposal for the metro.
OTHERS AREN’T so
sure. Leland Speed, a
Northsider who represents
state lands on the board, said
the project only reduces flooding
by 79 percent, not enough
to protect all of downtown
Jackson in the event of a 200year-flood.
He previously stated that he
couldn’t vote for a plan that
would still leave such a large
portion of the two-county district
unprotected. In contrast,
the Two Lakes plan provides
much more in the way of economic
development and flood
protection for the capital.
McGowan says his plan,
which doesn’t include levees,
would only cost between $250
million and $290 million to
build, giving local taxpayers
more bang for their bucks.
It would create more than
100 miles of developable
waterfront property, making
the 12 created by the Lower
Lake seem somewhat paltry. It
would open up an additional
7,000 to 7,500 acres for development
and would generate
billions in new revenue.
And while the lower lake
plan would only reduce flood
waters by 79 percent, Two
Lakes would reduce flooding
in downtown Jackson, North
Jackson and Rankin County
by 99 percent, said McGowan,
the project’s originator.
McGowan was also in attendance
at last Thursday’s meeting.
“Frankly, I was kind of
bored,” he said, jokingly.
“They didn’t metion how
high the islands would have to
be above the water so they
wouldn’t be flooded or the
backwater flooding behind the
levees at Town and Lynch
creeks,” he told the Sun.
THE LOWER Lake and
levee plans would cause water
to collect in the two creeks and
flood downtown Jackson in
rain events. As a result, no
economic development would
be possible there, he said.
He said the lake would be
located within levees, meaning
that it would rise and fall
much like the river does now.
His plan, though, would create
two bodies of water that would
vary about eight inches.
The board did not vote on a
measure that would direct the
corps to study a plan as it
relates to NEPA, National
Environmental Policy Act.
The motion was tabled at a

Reunion
(Continued from Page One)
Hall made it clear that he
doesn’t oppose the Reunion-
Annandale interchange being
built, he just wants to see the
existing Gluckstadt interchange
improved first. “If
they want to build it, don’t ask
for state funds, because this is
not an MDOT project,” he
said.
He said the county has
already begun work on the
Gluckstadt Road project and
should continue moving forward
with it before taking on
additional construction.
Madison has built a fivelane
road on the east side of
the interstate and began work
last year to three-lane
Gluckstadt Road on the west
side in preparation of the flyover
bridge being widened.
The project has been delayed
on a number of occasions.
Johnson, though, said the
Gluckstadt project is still several
years away from getting
started, while dirt can be turning
on Reunion in 2009. “We
are still in the environmental
study of Gluckstadt,” he said.
“We’ve done all the legwork
on Reunion.”
School
(Continued from Page One)
THE SCHOOL on Old
Canton Road has no plans to
expand into high school
grades. “One reason why
we’re staying K-8, is that
when you get into high school,
campus needs change dramatically,
like the need for athletic
fields and labs,” Haynie said.
“Our goal is to meet the
needs of our current families
and not to overshadow what
we’re doing in elementary. At
the start of the 2008-09 school
year, Covenant had about 241
children enrolled, up slightly
from the previous year.
She said Covenant wants to
create a “unique middle school
environment” that will be separate
from the elementary.
He estimates that the environmental
study can be completed
in the next year. From
there, the design work and
land acquisition have to be
completed. “MDOT will have
a problem in the northwest
quadrant, because the person
doesn’t want to give up his
land.”
“That’s three years out right
there. We’ll still have to build
it and that will take at least
two construction seasons,” he
said. “We are five years out on
that project and less than two
from having Reunion-
Annandale as a functional,
working interchange.”
Reunion will give motorists
another route when
Gluckstadt is closed for construction.
MDOT EXECUTIVE
Director Larry “Butch”
Brown agrees with Johnson’s
argument. He also supports
the county’s proposal to build
the project with majority local
funds. The state
Transportation Department is
providing funding for on and
off ramps.
“The county is paying all
Sixth-graders will also have
that experience. She’s now
working to hire two full-time
teachers, as well as some additional
part-time instructors to
give students access to a variety
of teaching methods.
Although all the personnel
weren’t in place at the time of
publication, she did say most
of the course offerings that
promise to help students grow
are. Of the courses, she said
Covenant will offer classes
like art, music, computer, foreign
language, physical education
and study skills.
As far as sports go, she said
Christ Covenant will participate
in programs sanctioned
by the Mississippi Private
School Association. “We have

but the cost-benefit ratio,”
Brown said. “The community
is stepping up and funding 75
percent versus us paying for
100 percent of it.”
The state agency agreed to
allocate about $6 million for
the project several years ago
based on a 2002 cost-benefit
study. The study showed that
the interchange would have a
cost benefit of 25 percent.
Then, the project cost $24
million to construct.
Today, with the project
being more expensive and
with more roads and traffic in
the area, the board recently
authorized a new cost-benefit
study to be conducted. The
recent study shows that the
interchange has a new costbenefit
ratio of about 58 percent.
The board plans to offer
more details on the study at an
upcoming meeting. Johnson
said the board, based on that
study, might ask MDOT for
additional funding. Brown,
though, said the department is
unable to commit to more
funding at the time.
the process of finishing the
football field,” she said. The
school is adding a new scoreboard
to the facility.
She doesn’t think the school
will have enough kids enrolled
initially for a junior high football,
basketball or baseball
team, but will have enough for
participation in individual
events, such as cross country,
track, tennis and golf.
When Christ Covenant does
have enough kids for large
team sports, she said the
school will be ready. Said
Haynie: “Our elementary football

Club speaker
Paul Jones, executive director for Make-A-Wish Foundation, recently spoke to the
Rotary Club of Jackson. The foundation grants wishes to children with serious, sometimes
life-threatening, illnesses. The child’s physician writes a prescription to Make-A-
Wish and the organization’s volunteers meet with the child to determine what the child
would most like to have. Each year, more than 200 deserving children are identified,
but because of funding constraints, not every child can be accommodated. Jones
explained that anyone interested can volunteer or donate money, frequent flyer miles,
hotel points, etc., to help make more wishes come true. Shown are (from left) Ann Neal,
who introduced the speaker, Jones, and Sister Dorothea, club president.

the victim took the gun

Another crook was more
successful in his robbery
attempt on April 25 at the
Zippy Bee convenience store
in the 5800 block of
Ridgewood Road. At about 12
o’clock that day, a clerk had
just finished ringing up some
items for the unknown black
male when he pulled a gun on
her and demanded money, he
said.
The clerk put an undisclosed
amount of money in a bag and
the robber fled the scene. Huff

Heigh Ho Silver displeased
with Rebel Holler’s shape
IF YOU’RE JUST halfway
polite, I’ll give you my last bite
of food in a heartbeat - even if
it’s grits, which I love. And it
isn’t important if you’re from
above or below the Mason-
Dixon line. But if you’re rude,
no matter if my bucket’s overflowing
with milk and honey, I
wouldn’t let you lick the spoon.
That’s not a nice character trait
to own up to, but it’s a fact, and
I think it’s true of most
Southerners.
So, when the Heigh Ho
Silver Management Company
in Steamboat Springs, Colo.,
who handles our duplex Rebel
Holler, sent husband Willard,
brother Alvin, and me an email
informing us that our
house was not up to their Gold
Star Rating Standards, our ears
flapped back. Was this some
kind of joke, we asked each
other?
By the hardest, we had managed
to hold on to the place
through good times and bad,
and we were proud and protective
of Rebel Holler. It became
very apparent however, that
this management outfit meant
business. They wanted us to
remodel; indeed, old Heigh Ho
was in a rush for us to redo our
(by their definition) sub-standard
corral, or they were putting
us out to pasture.
Back here in Mississippi,
even if we disagreed with the
company’s assessment, we
realized that we were facing a
major remodeling job. It
wouldn’t involve new barn
doors, cleaning out stalls, or
adding extra wooden seats and
a new Sears catalogue to an
outhouse.
SO I SPAT the plug-ugly
wad of snuff from my cheeks
and gums, and wiped the
tobaccer juice from the cracks
in my chins with my good flour
sack apron while the men
thoughtfully waxed the tips of
their mustaches, undid their
string ties and hitched up their
galluses.
Now bear in mind that this
same company had, in only
two years of managing our
property, made more than just a
little money off of us country
folk. One of the estimates
Heigh Ho sent us, just on
repainting the inside of the
Colorado property was more
than it cost us to enclose the
back part of our house here in
Jackson some years back. We
had the gut feeling that old
Heigh Ho wanted to be a major
player in our redo at Rebel
Holler.
Sometimes the fast talking
people in resort towns can be
about half a step above the law.
Their motto seems to be, “Let
us prey.” It doesn’t take a rocket
scientist to spot a buffalo in a
herd of horses, and one of the
three of us should have thought
of that at the outset.
This became a serious situation
for us; the stock market
traveling
by
Lottie
Boggan
going off its feed had affected
everybody. We decided that it
would be necessary to make an
emergency trip out West on the
cheapest airline we could find.
We’d rent an economy car in
Denver, drive to the ‘Boat’ and
see what was going on.
BROTHER ALVIN, unfortunately,
had another commitment.
Willard and I didn’t want
to put our pet, June Cleaver in
doggie detention; here in
Jackson she likes to be fed at
4:30 p.m. Central Standard
Time. Colorado’s on Mountain
Time. At home in the backyard,
she is free to ferociously challenge
motorcycles on the street
from behind the safety of our
brick fence. She can sniff out
suspicious aromas and alert the
neighborhood to potential terrorists
(mostly of the feline
variety). Inside our house, June
Cleaver feels like she’s roughing
it unless she has a kingsized
bed to sleep in and the
thermostat set to her liking.
So, nice guy that he is,
Willard volunteered to stay
home and make sure June
Cleaver didn’t have to alter her
high standard of living. It was
for all of these reasons that I
became the Chosen One.
Luckily, I was able to entice a
friend, fellow Northsider Billie
Jean Rice, to go with me.
B’ Jean and I left the bosom
of our families and flew to
Denver. There we picked up a
rental car and drove through
the mountains to Steamboat,
arriving just before dark. We
came in to broken doors, dirty
dishes, cracked mirrors, torn
blinds, and a cattywampus
chandelier in the dining room
that was missing two globes.
The TV didn’t work; there
was no dial tone on the phone.
We had no sheets, towels, or
washrags; good ole Heigh Ho
had taken all of theirs and some
of ours to boot. I went to
unlock our owner’s closet to
get out some extra bedding, but
someone else had tried to open
it too and the lock was broken.
All of this had taken place
under the ‘watch’ of our high
end rental company. Good old
“Heigh Ho Silver.”
After a long flight from
Mississippi, and the four hour
trip through the mountains we
bathed with no soap, towels, or
washrags.
Right before I fell asleep I
heard a faint noise from the
kitchen that sounded like golf
cleats clicking on the tile floor.
Rats. I thought.
“Heigh Ho the Merry-o,” I
said to myself. “I wanna go
home.” I pulled the spread over
my head and slid as far down in
the bed as I could.
There was no toilet paper in
the house; just empty, frayed,
and frumped cardboard rollers
and I was sitting on a pitty pot.

Privet can make a beautiful
blooming hedge plant
YOUR GARDEN can give
you delightful surprises, especially
if you aren’t too diligently
neat, and have enough
room to leave some wild
spaces.
Early the other morning, I
happened to look out the big
window over the kitchen sink,
and was amazed to see midsized
slender trees, their
crowns a froth of white
blooms, arching over the pathway
to the lake. Where did
that come from?
You can work and plan,
spend money and effort, wait
years for a visual effect such as
this. But to have it just appear
one morning - mindboggling!
Coffee cup in hand, I went
immediately to investigate. It
was nothing more, or less,
than privet, a basic native
weed tree, in sudden full
bloom - a poor man’s version
of the Laburnum Walk at
Bodnant Garden in Wales
which people travel hundreds
of miles to see.
Because I had been busy
doing other things in the garden
ever since the 2001 tornado
that took out half a dozen
major oaks in that area, and
also because the deer like to
nibble on privet, they’ve had a
chance to grow and form
blooms. (I always hope the
deer will satisfy their appetites
before they begin on the azaleas.)
And such a reward!
Probably not very long-lasting,
maybe only 10 days, but
certainly this week’s wonder
in our garden. Nothing much
in the bright sunshine of midday,
but at dawn or at twilight,
pure magic. All because I did
nothing.
THE NEXT dish-washing
episode, I noticed, deep in the
woods, a very large treeshaped
privet, also fully in
bloom. This sprang up after
2001, and I’d meant to grub it
out long ago. Now I shall
mark it, and the others with
blue flagging tape, and when I
get around to it, take the loppers
to the baseline sprouts
and make them into truly
attractive trees. And, I was
reminded, there was a set of
long steps leading down to
that largest privet tree, so
gardening glimpses

maybe I’ll be inspired to clear
that out.
My history with privet is
long and diverse. In a favorite
childhood book of mine,
Elizabeth Enright’s “The Four
Story Mistake,” the Melendy
children rejoice at the billowing
foliage of a hedgerow of
privet, once it is freed from the
strangling of the ivy that had
also covered their nowrestored
house. But that privet
didn’t bloom.
My senior year at Belhaven
College, I became much too
well acquainted with the privet’s
somewhat classier relative,
the ligustrum, a stocky
shrub with larger, glossier
leaves, which was a prime
favorite of landscapers in
those post World War II years.
I was violently allergic to its
fragrance, so in bloom season,
my poor roommates sweltered
behind closed windows in that
non-air-conditioned May. I’ve
outgrown my allergies, and
someone has long since
hacked out those ligustrum
(no easy job for anything less
than a backhoe), but I still
warn everyone against planting
it.
Thalassa Cruso, one of my
very favorite garden writers,
tells of creating a sheltered
garden at her summer place on
the coast of Maine. She chose
privet, the same one that’s in
my garden now, as her hedge
plant, because of its resistance
to the winds from the sea. She
approved its fast growth, but
made sure it was kept in hand
by stern pruning and a metal
barrier between its roots and
her rows of vegetables and
perennials.
WHEN WE BOUGHT our
four acres in Madison County,
nearly 25 years ago, I remember
spending hours every
week, grubbing around at
ground level, getting out privet
saplings so that the plants I
liked, such as the wild huckleberry
and the black-haw
viburnum, would have a
chance.
Now, in these post-tornado,
post-Katrina years, I have
become more tolerant, especially
of the bank of privet that
sprang up around the stump of
a large oak, giving us a privacy
barrier to the east.
And of course it’s a feast for
the deer - as many as 13 stampede
along that east fence at a
time.
Gift plants from real gardeners
are a perennial treasure. If
they’re giving them away, you
can count on them being longlasting.
One of my most welcome
gifts came from the
Tishomingo County garden of
Weytha Nunley, who sent me
a fertilizer sack full of amaryllis
bulbs (she was into recycling
before recycling was
cool). Not of course our
Christmas houseplants, but the
true garden amaryllis. Brilliant
crimson, a delight in any late
spring garden, every year
without fail, they come up in a
border too shady for many of
the other things I planted there,
and with no feeding and no
supplemental watering, they
bloom and delight visitors
(who of course all come to the
back door) for weeks at a time.
And sometimes we can even
give ourselves a gift through
procrastination. It’s so good
when doing the wrong thing
brings about delightful results.
I somehow overlooked a big
sack, probably a dozen fat
double-nosed bulbs, of the
daffodil ‘Fragrant Rose,’ with
white petals and a pinkrimmed
cup. Discovering
them about Groundhog Day, I
stuck them in the moist fresh
soil around a couple of those
blooming shrubs I was setting
in the woodland garden. And
now, to my delight, I’ve had
fresh daffodils in the garden,
and cut blooms in vases on top
of the television set, on May l.
I think maybe I’ll plan to procrastinate
this way next year.

BRYANT GALLERIES will
present an evening with artist,
P. Sanders McNeal as she
recounts her experience as a
courtroom artist; documenting
the trial of Byron De La
Beckwith. The public is invited
Thursday, May 7 from 6 – 8
p.m.
It was 15 years ago that
Beckwith was brought back to
trial for the murder of civil
rights leader, Medgar Evers in
1963. In 1963 Beckwith was
tried twice for the crime, but
each trial resulted in a mistrial.
McNeal is well known as an
artist, and recipient of the
Governor’s Award in the Arts,
as well as a theatre set designer.
However, she was given the
opportunity to try something
new when she was hired by
ABC to be a courtroom artist,
creating sketches of key
moments in the Beckwith trial
as they actually happened.
Four years later, in 1998, she
was hired by CNN to serve as
the courtroom artist for the
Sam Bowers trial. This trial
resulted in the conviction of
Sam Bowers for the brutal
murder of Vernon Dahmer in
1966.
This evening’s event will
give the public their first
chance to see some of the actual
pastel drawings McNeal created
and that were seen on
ABC and CNN. She will share
City. A graduate of Jackson
Preparatory School, Miss
Barbour attends Millsaps
College and is a member of Chi
Omega sorority.
Virginia Nell Parsons, daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Donald
Parsons of Jackson, is the
granddaughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Roy Rodgers Brashier of
Indianola, and Mrs. Alex Ames
Hogan and the late Donald
Parsons of Jackson. Her father
will present her at the ball. Miss
Parsons is a graduate of
Jackson Preparatory School.
She attends the University of
Alabama at Tuscaloosa and is a
stories of her experiences being
a courtroom artist and of her
experience having a front row
seat to a major historical event,
not just for Mississippi, but the
nation. “I still get chills when I
remember Beckwith saying
about his bright red jacket he
wore during the trial, “Just
so…everyone can know which
one is me,” the artist recounts.
ON DISPLAY will be eight
of the more than 50 original
pastel paintings she created
during the trial. The entire collection
will be presented to the
University of Mississippi in a
formal ceremony later in June.
