JACKSONIAN CRAIG HENDRY

W

hen beer aficionado Craig Hendry is asked what his favorite brew is, he always hesitates.

“My favorite style is imperial stout, which is common in Belgian beers, but I don’t really have a favorite (beer),” Hendry says.

The Gilbertown, Ala., native and Jackson resident enjoys drinking locally and, until recently, some of his favorite beers couldn’t be bought at home in Mississippi.

“As I traveled, I saw a wide beer selection,” Hendry says. “I always wondered why Mississippi was lacking. I always had to buy my beer out of state and bring it home.”

So in 2007, Hendry, 41, and a few of his fellow beer lovers started Raise Your Pints, an organization committed to bringing high quality beers to Mississippi. The nonprofit has grown rapidly in recent years, partly thanks to last year’s grassroots campaign to raise the alcohol limit in beer sold in Mississippi. After that legislation passed last July, Hendry took over as president of Raise Your Pints.

Hendry, who graduated from the University of South Alabama with a degree in information science in 1997, says the beer-brewing process fascinates him even more than the array of styles and flavors. He has been a great advocate of homebrewing for many years, after getting interested in the hobby himself. “It was a case of liking beer so much that I was given a homebrewing kit for Christmas—it just snow-

CONTENTS

balled from there,” Hendry says.

In addition to actually brewing the beer, Hendry also builds many of the parts needed in the homebrewing process. A self-proclaimed craftsman, the hobby allows Hendry to display his workmanship as well as his beer—to be a part of the brewing process “from start to finish.”

Hendry’s eyes light up when he recounts his favorite brewing moment: winning Best in Show at a home-brewing competition in Hattiesburg, just one of the many competitions he’s taken part in. As he puts it, if there’s a competition, he’s probably there.

“It’s a challenge to make great homebrew,” Hendry says.

So when his home state of Mississippi was left being one of only two states that had yet to legalize homebrewing, Hendry rose to the challenge. “I spent a lot of time at the Capitol,” Hendry says. “I put on a coat and tie and shook a lot of hands. We were just amateurs going down to the capitol, trying to change a law.”

Hendry isn’t the type of guy to waltz around in a suit on a regular basis. An IT analyst by day and homebrewer by night, Hendry is more of a T-shirt and jeans type of guy, but spreading the gospel about his favorite past time was more than reason enough to pull out his Sunday best.

“Homebrewing is a safe, fun hobby,” Hendry says. “It helps build an appreciation of craft beer.”

EDITOR’S note

by Kathleen M. Mitchell Features Editor

Join the Conversation

A

s I sat down to write this column, I really struggled with what to say. I spent the last week wrapped up in thoughts of Texas Sen. Wendy Davis and the Defense of Marriage Act. Dialogue between and about race has also been on my mind, especially after we received some feedback on our last issue focusing on the subject—an anonymous sender informed us that our highly researched and well-cited statistics were “racist propaganda bullsh*t.”

I’ve thought about the media, too, based on conversations with a group of communication studies graduates from Millsaps College about what it means for the news world when CNN and all the major 24-hour news sources ran reruns about muffins and the like while one of the most important and dramatic filibusters in recent years took place in Texas.

At the same time, I’ve spent a big chunk of the last week preparing for a vacation to Pennsylvania for my brother’s wedding and to visit some friends in Philadelphia and New York City. I know it will be a thought-provoking week. I’ll have the chance to spend time with folks all the way from conservative religious adults to liberal gay 20-somethings.

But despite all these thoughts swimming around in the fishbowl of my brain, not one specific thought came through. They all just kept swirling, crashing together in new ways and coming up for air again.

While driving back to Jackson from a short trip last weekend, my husband and I listened to a couple of things that kept me thinking about Sen. Davis. The first was an NPR podcast that explored the filibuster in the national Senate. Essentially, the filibuster used to only exist in that Hollywood sense: one person

standing for hours, refusing to yield the floor—much like Davis. But now, due to several changes, clarifications and adjustments in the vast Senate rulebook, senators can “filibuster” simply by calling the Senate floor and saying they’d like to.

I’m not sure how this rule translates on a state-by-state level, but it made what

It’s not necessarily what I have to say; it’s the conversation itself that matters.

Sen. Davis did all the more inspirational.

She didn’t (quite literally) call it in—she did the work.

The second thing we listened to came on the radio shortly after we passed into Alabama. We accidentally found ourselves tuned in to a conservative Christian talk radio station, where the radio host was going on about Davis stopping a bill that would “make it illegal to kill babies.” The host’s tactics framed the conversation in such a way that closed the door for any real discussion. Obviously, the fight for reproductive rights doesn’t come from a desire to “kill babies.” Saying so is the equivalent of sticking your fingers in your ears and shouting “I can’t hear youuuu!”

Race popped up in my conversa-

tions throughout the weekend as well, helped in no small part by Paula Deen’s recent unfortunate confession. It’s a genuinely debatable topic. Some folks I know take the stand that such slurs are never OK, and her firing is warranted.

Others, though, suggest that she is being unfairly punished for being honest about something she did a while ago. Although I certainly have my point of view, neither side of the argument is particularly offensive to me. What I find interesting, though, is the truths about race as a larger subject that inadvertently come up when people talk about Deen’s situation.

For example, I got to talking about Deen’s predicament with some older born-and-raised southerners, who still use the descriptor “colored.” And while they genuinely didn’t mean anything offensive by the word, it made me stop every time I heard it. But, even though the word choice was jarring, I made an effort to listen, and I actually heard a story of racial reconciliation, even if on a small scale. It was a story of overcoming the differences in skin tone.

I guess, in the end, I took so long to figure out what to write in this space because I couldn’t decide what I wanted to bring to the conversation—what I could bring to the conversation.

As a heterosexual person in a marriage that is legitimate in all 50 states, as well as every country on earth, what can I say about my joy for my gay and lesbian friends that will even compare to the feelings they could put to words themselves?

I can’t know what it’s like to come out, to feel the weight of society’s judgment upon me. I can only feel second-hand the pain of parents that don’t understand or of the prejudice of former friends.

Similarly, the electricity I felt scroll-

ing through the tweets marked with #standwithwendy the morning after her filibuster surely can’t compare to the accounts and posts and videos and thoughts from those in attendance.

And as a white person from a background of opportunity with a college education and a steady job, how can I contribute to a conversation about racial inequality?

As I started writing out my thoughts, I realized it’s not necessarily what I have to say; it’s the conversation itself that matters. Although my specific views may not be unique or groundbreaking, they are still a valid part of the conversation.

I do add something to the discussion.

Every voice should matter (yes, even those that don’t take my side, although I certainly wish they could be a bit more polite about it).

As I pack for my trip, these thoughts still swirl. I wonder who I’ll talk to in the next week about these issues and others.

The topics can be difficult and awkward, but opening the channels of discussion is vital. It’s what we were getting at with our GOOD Ideas issue (although our dear unnamed mail responder seemed to miss that point).

It’s about talking, sure, but it’s about listening, too. After all, Wendy Davis stood and talked for 11 hours, but I believe it was tied to a hope that someone in that room or someone tuning in would take their fingers out of their ears and actually listen.

So I’m speaking my mind.

I’m standing with Wendy. I’m marching for pride. But I’m also listening. Even when I want to brush it off. Even when I disagree. Even when I vehemently disagree. The conversation is the only way we’ll ever get anywhere.

In Delbert We Trust?

by R.L. Nave

I

f there existed a university devoted to voter suppression and disenfranchisement before the passage of the 1965 Voting Rights Act, Mississippi would have graduated with Latin honors.

Tactics ranged from the relatively humdrum Jim Crow instruments of the time, such as poll taxes and impossible-to-pass oral tests, to the famously violent practice of murdering voting-rights workers in cold blood. Those practices, commonplace in Mississippi and throughout the South, help usher in the VRA and its primary enforcement mechanism, a federal oversight process called preclearance.

On June 25, the U.S. Supreme Court nullified the formula outlined in Section 4 of the act that determines TRIP BURNS

Mississippi Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann expects the state’s voterID law top be in effect by the 2014 midterm elections.

the cities, counties and states that must receive federal permission to change even minor election procedures.

Mississippi’s top elections official, Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann, applauded the decision, saying Mississippi has worked to cross beyond government-sanctioned policies that excluded blacks from the voting process until relatively recently. “Those achievements are made by the fact that we trust each other. We trust each other to conduct our elections and to conduct our legislative affairs and that trust was confirmed by the Supreme Court,�

Hosemann told reporters in his Capitol office the day the Supreme Court handed down its 5-4 ruling.

The ruling in the VRA case, Shelby County, Ala., v. Eric Holder, wasn’t terribly

surprising given the court’s composition.

The jurisdictions covered under preclearance—Section 5 of the act—include mostly southern states with a history of racial discrimination affecting elections, but also applies to some northern cities such as New York City and the state of Alaska, with its record of Native American discrimination. The court did not address the constitutionality of Section 5, which means that Congress could develop a new formula that meets constitutional muster.

Civil-rights advocates nationwide let out a collective moan of disapproval believing the ruling will open the floodgates on renewal of voter suppression. That includes voter-identification laws, many of which were held up for preclearance but now can be implemented.

Hosemann, one of the key backers of Mississippi’s voter-ID law, is not running a victory lap, yet. In a May interview with the Jackson Free Press, he said that even without preclearance, Mississippi would still have to comply with Section 2 of the act, which bars the state from implementing discriminatory voting laws. “For example, you couldn’t say that Catholics can’t vote, which we tried to do in Mississippi, or that women can’t vote, which we tried to do—or the Jim Crow laws, which we also did. “There’s a whole series of things that have impeded people’s right to vote and that comes under the constitutionality portion (of the Voting Rights Act). So the preclearance would go away, but individuals who may challenge voter ID would still have the ability to question the constitutionality of it,� Hosemann said.

State Sen. John Horhn, D-Jackson, and a member of the state’s Legislative Black Caucus, called the ruling “a sad day in the United States� and said he would eat his hat if anyone could prove that voter discrimination is indeed a thing of the past. He dismissed Hosemann’s statement that Mississippians trust each other to no longer need the federal check-and-balance of preclearance. “This will have a chilling effect,�

Horhn told the Jackson Free Press.

Sen. Kenneth Wayne Jones, D-Canton, who chairs the Legislative Black Caucus, views the VRA ruling another way: “It seems like America is going backwards.�

nity whose taxpayers can afford taxes, but … (they collect taxes) on 95 percent of their property. Then you’ve got a community with a high poverty rate but also a high rate of taxexempt property, which puts more burden on those poor people. It’s crazy.

I’ve heard people say, “Jackson needs to take care of its own,” but we’re the state capital.

In half the state capitals in this country, state government actually writes a check to the local government to offset some of these disparities.

That would be payment in lieu of taxes?

Right. That’s what it’s typically called.

Have you made attempts to make that happen?

Yeah, we’ve talked about it with the Legislature. It hasn’t gone anywhere. We were receiving $200,000 as a fire fee from the University of Mississippi Medical Center on an annual basis, but they stopped that last year. It started when I was in office before, and it stopped. Then, when I came back in, we had it for two or three years, then it stopped again. But that’s a handshake deal, that’s not any legislation or any requirement.

Hattiesburg, Starkville, Oxford, all the cities with state schools within their borders (get payments in lieu of taxes), and we have two—Jackson State and UMMC. I know that the whole issue of tax base has been an issue for decades.

It’s not uncommon to see the central city, the tax base of the central city, being impacted by increases in opportunities in the suburban areas. That happens all over. People don’t want to hear it, but it’s driven by transportation. So it may seem like a great idea to six-lane Lakeland Drive, trying to get to and from Rankin County. You’ve got Dogwood Festival and different developments popping up, residential development along Highway 25, all driven by transportation. We have a tax base that’s dwindling, but the overall metropolitan area is increasing 2 or 3 percent, something like that. It’s not increasing a lot because it’s just moving people around, moving businesses around in the metropolitan area.

Mr. Lumumba didn’t get much support from the business community during the campaign. Do you think it will be harder for him than it was for you to further economic development?

I don’t know. My crystal ball isn’t that clear. What I do know is that the city of Jackson is capital of Mississippi, and this whole notion that people are just going to pick up and leave is not realistic. We have a lot of things going for us in the city of

Certainly, the whole issue of race has come up strongly.

Well, yeah. I guess “come up” may be a way of looking at it. I’m not sure it was ever buried that deeply. And I’m speaking from the perspective of being the first African American mayor of Jackson. To say that it’s come up just because of this …

I posed that badly, but I think you know what I’m talking about.Where ever that spotlight was before, if it was diffused, it got very pinpointed as far as racial differences in the city.

It may create an opportunity for us to come to grips with that issue. When you start asking yourself questions like, “Why is it that there’s never a Republican primary?” and what does that mean?

Why is it that the Republican candidate from Ward 1 never has a challenger? How does that happen? And how do you get 95 percent of a segment of the city voting for one candidate, and that’s OK, but when 80 percent of another segment of the city vote for one candidate, it’s racial?

This is going to require some deep discussion and soul searching on the part of the city of Jackson. Perhaps we’ll get some of the things that were not so transparent previously when it comes to race relations, maybe now they’re going to have to be dealt with.

I think that would be a good thing, personally.

Well, you know, I do, too.

Sex Trafficking: The Portable Crime

by Ronni Mott

“Y

our toes will definitely curl,” screams the ad’s headline on Backpage. com. “I get the job done.”

Backpage is one of several online classified-ad sites—similar to Craigslist—that filters ads based on locations. The online ad appeared on the site’s Jackson adult escort service ads category, although the contact phone number has a Tampa, Fla., area code.

The ad’s text is accompanied by mostly neck-down shots of a scantily clad young woman. The one photo that displays anything from the neck up shows a woman with her long brown hair obscuring her facial features. It’s impossible to tell whether the half-dozen photos are of the same woman, and if they are, how old she is. The ad claims she is 25.

“Perfection at its best,” claims another ad with similar, neck-down photos of a woman who claims to be 23. “Super thick, hourglass curves, stunning beauty.”

The contact phone number begins with 214, a Dallas, Texas, area code.

“These are girls that are getting moved around,” said Heather Wagner, director of the domestic-violence office in the state attorney general’s office. Traffickers—pimps or madams—frequently move from major event to major event to capture the prevailing market, or move to stay at least one step ahead of law enforcement.

“They all put their ages out there.

Right. Really?” Wagner asked as she picked a Backpage ad at random. The girl—one could hardly have called her a woman— could have been anywhere from 13 to 16 years old. “Does she look 21 to you?”

Wagner related one case where authorities tracked one of the girls brought into Louisiana for the Super Bowl through a contact number on her ads.

“They tracked her from (Washington) D.C., right after the inaugural ball.

Sex traffickers frequently move girls around.

in 2010. The case has yet to be solved.

In a June 29 New York Times editorial titled “The New Prostitutes,” Kolker wrote: “It had seemed enough, at first, for some to say that the victims were all prostitutes, practically interchangeable—lost souls who were gone, in a sense, long before they actually disappeared. That is a story our culture tells about people like them, a conventional way of thinking about how young girls fall into a life of prostitution: unstable family lives, addiction, neglect.

“But in the two years I’ve spent learning about the lives of all five women, I have found that they all defied expectations.

They were not human-trafficking victims in the classic sense. They stayed close to their families. They all came to New York to take advantage of a growing black market—an underground economy that offered them life-changing money, and with a remarkably low barrier to entry. The real

temptation wasn’t drugs or alcohol, but the promise of social mobility.”

In the editorial, Kolker outlined how ads on Craigslist helped one of the women, Maureen Brainard-Barnes, make up to $2,000 a day offering her services. The Internet is, “transforming the way people shop for everything, and commercial sex has been no exception,” he wrote.

Craigslist stopped posting adult ads in 2010 after considerable public pressure and at least one lawsuit—despite reportedly earning $44.4 million that year from such ads. Backpage, though, continues to run “escort” ads. An attorney for the site has said that sex shoppers would simply go elsewhere. Backpage is one of many sites that law enforcement agencies—including the Mississippi Attorney General’s office—keep an eye on for evidence of sex trafficking.

In September 2012, Arizona State University researchers monitored the site for a week. Out of 1,145 postings, the study found that more 900 advertisements offered sex or prostitution in Phoenix, and the authors believe many of the girls were younger than 18.

In May of this year, authorities in central Florida busted three sex-trafficking rings operating there in three days. They implicated Backpage in all three cases.

“It’s abundantly clear to us that they are facilitating organized prostitution.” Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd told reporters.

“They are facilitating human trafficking.”

Jackson, good things, a lot of assets—assets for the business community. They’ve taken note of that; they know that. I think that there’s going to be a way for all of the interests here in the city of Jackson to work together. Finding it may be a challenge, but I’m sure there’s a way for it to happen.

Bryant Ranks 14th in Job Creation Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant ranks 14th out of 45 governors in total number of jobs created in the private sector, according to The Business Journals “On Numbers.”

“On Numbers” analyzed private-sector employment levels for the 45 governors who were in office before this year using seasonally adjusted data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor. The list, published June 27, scored each governor based on a comparison of the annual job growth rate for his or her respective state, and the corresponding figure for the other 44 states.

Bryant came in behind 10 other Republicans and three Democrats. Republicans Jack Dalrymple (North Dakota), Rick Perry (Texas), Gary Herbert (Utah), Bill Haslam (Tennessee) and Bobby Jindal (Louisiana) topped the list. Democrat John Hickenlooper (Colorado), was ranked sixth.

Mississippi ranked just behind South Dakota and just ahead of Minnesota. Matthew Mead (R-Wyoming) was ranked last.

The list did not include governors Steve Bullock (D-Montana), Maggie Hassan (D-New Hampshire), Jay Inslee (D-Washington), Pat McCrory (R-North Carolina) and Mike Pence (R-Indiana) because they entered office earlier this year.

Shirley Sherrod: “Yes, Ms. Deen. I had a similar experience in 2010; however, I just viewed a 2012 video interview you did where you defended your attitude toward race. My first response was: ‘Okay, that’s Ms. Deen’s opinion.’ But what really surprised me was after defending your view, you mentioned a special friendship with a ‘dark as a black board’ African American friend. Then, in an unknowing and condescending manner, you said something like this: ‘Come out here my good ole’ friend.

Why it stinks: The estimated costs of Southern Company’s largely experimental coal gasification plant in Mississippi seems to have no ceiling. Including the associated pipeline and the mine for the low-grade lignite coal that the plant will burn, the plant’s costs are now in the stratospheric range of $4.5 billion, nearly double the cost of the plant alone, and $1.1 billion more than the estimate for the whole project.

Bentz, a Republican whose district includes Kemper County, has been a strong proponent of the plant since its inception. Much of the development costs fall to Mississippi Power ratepayers (Southern is MP’s parent company), which is substantially increasing their electric bills long before the plant is finished.

Plans for the plant barreled along despite environmental concerns and potential issues with the as-yet-untested technology. Spending $4.5 billion on a shiny new coal plant in the 21st century is difficult, at best, to justify in light of the myriad of sustainable clean-energy options available. We can imagine a world where such astronomical amounts of money could work to power the entire country instead of one little corner of Mississippi.

ne of the most interesting things in Mayor Chokwe Lumumba’s administration of Jackson will be how he manages the Jackson Police Department.

Forty years ago, as a young man and member of the Republic of New Afrika, Lumumba was engaged in armed resistance against what was then a racist and oppressive police force. Lumumba went on to build a practice as a defense attorney for criminal defendants accused of running afoul of the law.

In the immediate offing, a big test for Lumumba and other municipal commanders-inchief around Mississippi looms as state courts figure out what to do about the new open-carry gun law. The law has touched off a firestorm of fear and confusion among both private citizens and law enforcement officials.

A recent opinion from Attorney General Jim Hood in support of the law makes it clear that private business owners have the right to prohibit guns on their property. Hood also said that open carry would not be allowed in such sensitive areas as schools, stadiums, airports and events. Sheriffs also have the discretion to bar guns from courthouses. Which pretty much just leaves city streets and sidewalks as the most logical places where we are likely to see Mississippians packing heat in plain sight.

That’s disconcerting, if not downright terrifying, not just because the law could put more

armed people in contact with one another, but also because it could put more people in contact with the police.

Hood’s opinion contains an appendix on so-called “Terry stops� in which police can stop, question and frisk citizens. The term originated from a 1968 U.S. Supreme Court decision, Terry v. Ohio, where the court held that police could briefly detain someone whom they reasonably suspect may be involved in criminal activity. Such suspicion falls short of the police burden for making an immediate arrest. The AG’s opinion states that carrying a non-concealed weapon is not enough to create reasonable suspicion of criminal activity.

The same opinion states: “However, there could be circumstances in which in which the carrying of such a weapon could be a factor which, when taken together with other factors, could give rise to a reasonable suspicion of criminal activity.

What does that mean? That’s a question that the courts will have to sort out. In the meantime, a Hinds County judge’s restraining order temporarily halted the open-carry law from taking effect, but a challenge from Hood seeks to lift that order immediately.

Whatever happens with the implementation of the law, we hope that the Jackson Police Department under Lumumba’s leadership will be judicious in enforcing the law in a way that does not feed Mississippi’s already necessarily overcrowded

bout eight years ago, Jonas Outlaw’s now-father in-law introduced him to the hobby of homebrewing. Outlaw remembers his first batch of home-brewed beer, an American pale ale.

“At the time, I thought it was great. But, looking back, it probably had a lot of flaws,” said Outlaw, now the president of the Home Brewers Association of Middle Mississippi.

Back in those days, the malt, hops, yeast and other ingredients needed to brew beer at home were relatively scarce in the state.

Part of the reason for this was Mississippi’s less-than-sophisticated beer culture; another reason were laws that limited the amount of alcohol in beers sold in the state and made homebrewing questionably legal.

Over time, as Mississippi’s beer culture has improved and state officials loosened beer restrictions, home brewers like Outlaw have also improved their craft. Today, Outlaw has graduated to more complex beer recipes, such as rye double India Pale Ale, containing a variety of malts and hops.

Outlaw hopes that another change in the law will improve the state’s beer culture even more. Starting July 1, following legislative action to clarify the existing muddled home-brewing laws, the hobby will officially become legal in Mississippi.

Before the change, anyone making beer in the state needed a $1,000 permit from

2013 Summer Food & Beer Issue

1.

Soak malted barley or malted wheat in hot water to release the malt sugars. Some homebrewers start with a malt extract to skip the step of creating their own mash (boiling the grains in water until the starches turn to sugar).

A basic homebrew kit usually contains: • A fermentation jug or bucket with cap and airlock • Auto-siphon and tubing • Bottle fillerg • Bottle capper and caps

5.

You'll also need a large pot, clean water, malt, hops and yeast.

Remember to sanitize all your equipment thoroughly before you use it!

You only need four ingredients to make beer: malt, hops, yeast and water.

How much of each ingredient, where they come from and what you do with them are what create the vast array of different beers out there. Many brews these days contain other ingredients as well to add flavor—often fruits like strawberries or lemon, but also additions such as bacon or maple syrup.

The brewing process isn't long, but the waiting period is. Brewing typically takes a couple of hours, fermentation a couple of weeks and bottling another hour or so. Then, the beer must rest in the bottle to finish the fermentation and carbonation process.

The basic steps for brewing beer are:

After the main fermentation is complete, bottle the beer with a sugar solution to finish fermentation and provide carbonation.

2.

Boil the malt sugar solution, and add hops and, if desired, other flavoring ingredients.

omebrewing is on the rise in the United States and, now that it is legal in Mississippi, expect the chatter among your beerloving friends to rise even more. Unsurprisingly, homebrewing follows much of the same principles as industrial breweries, just on a smaller scale. The entire process isn’t a complicated one, but dozens, if not hundreds, of how-to guides exist, each with its own advice on what is vital and what isn’t.

Confused about what goes into making beer at home? We’ve got you covered.

3.

Cool the solution, strain it, pour it into a sanitized container and add yeast to begin fermentation.

The yeast ferments the sugars, releasing CO2 and ethyl alcohol.

Spicy Balsamic Beer Marinade for Beef

W

hen the weather turns hot, most cooks enjoy cooling off with a favorite beverage while taking the heat outdoors and firing up the grill. You won’t need to wait to light the coals to break out the brews, though, with these recipes featuring Mississippi beer.

Beer can add rich, smoky caramel tones, a lively floral essence, or a note of bright citrus to food. Not only does it provide a wide range of taste opportunities, but beer is a great tenderizer, with enzymes that help to break down tough, sinewy fibers. One of the most effective ways to tenderize and flavor meat is using beer in a marinade or brine. The best part: Beers from Mississippi’s own breweries flavor these recipes.

This is a bold, zesty marinade that makes all taste buds snap to attention.

Balsamic vinegar and soy sauce pack extra punch for tenderizing cheaper cuts of meat. You can also use light beer or lager.

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar 1/4 cup soy sauce 1 12-ounce bottle Lazy Magnolia Deep South Pale Ale 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard 1 tablespoon Worcestershire 1 teaspoon hot sauce 4 garlic cloves, minced 1 tablespoon onion, grated 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon pepper

Combine ingredients and mix well. Pour over meat and marinate overnight. This marinade works well with chuck steak, flank steak, flatiron steak, top round steak and sirloin steak. Makes two-and-a-half to three cups.

See more of Dawn Macke’s recipes using local beer on page 26 and throughout this month.

I MELANIE BOYD

remember my father giving me sips of beer when I was a child as most men probably do. I hated it. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t drink in high school, and it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t until my mid-20s that I started drinking beer on my own, and usually only in social settings. When I lived in Austin, Texas, and was working an internship at a local Italian trattoria, the cooks and I would go to a bar down the street and order up a pitcher of Lone Star. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t particularly good, but it was cold and cheap and led to good conversation while talking shop about the nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

Bottle shares and beer tastings among friends are great ways to explore beers you might not discover on your own.

Austin had several local breweries, and I enjoyed trying their offerings but still wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t much of a beer drinker.

When I moved back to Dallas, I landed a job as the opening sous chef for a fun gastro pub where we had 40 beers on tap and countless more by the bottle. The policy for the restaurant was that everyone was entitled to a free â&#x20AC;&#x153;shift beerâ&#x20AC;? and could purchase anything else at 50 percent off, so letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just say I made my way through the extensive list fairly quickly.

The beer that was my â&#x20AC;&#x153;gatewayâ&#x20AC;? beer, the one that hit my lips and made me say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wow! Beer can be like this?â&#x20AC;? was Delirium Nocturnum from Belgium. Not available in Jackson (hopefully soon!), this beer has flavors of fruit and caramely malts with a brilliant carbonation and mouthfeel.

From that point forward, I tried as many different va-

rieties as I could. Being a chef, my favorite beers were those four years before it made its way to our beer tasting. Everyone brewed with interesting culinary ingredientsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;fruits, herbs, eyeballed the beautiful label of the beer with anticipation.

rom the Civil War to civil rights and beyond, the Old Capitol Museum offers Mississippians a rare visual retrospect on the complex past of the capital city with “Jackson: A Photographic History.” The exhibit, which launched March 12 and will run until July 7, contains a comprehensive collection of pictures from the Mississippi Department of Archives and History, covering more than a century of Jackson’s greatest achievements and gravest hardships.

“I think this reminds us of where we’ve been, how far we’ve come, and what we can still become,” says Mike Stoll, the education historian for the Old Capitol Museum and the person responsible for the collection. “Jackson is a city that always had a lot of potential. It had a solid past in terms of the prosperity of its people, but it also had a dark side.”

Jackson’s darkest days can be found in some of the photos in the collection, depicting the most dangerous and turbulent times for the state capital, including photos of massive civil-rights demonstrations, devastating natural disasters and the early demise of Mississippi landmarks.

“The aerial shots that we have are interesting because they show just how extensive the damage was to Jackson, like in the Easter Flood in 1979,” Stoll says. One of the single most destructive occurrences in Mississippi history, the flooding of the Pearl River, left much of Jackson underwater and resulted in around $500 million in damage and nearly 15,000 displaced citizens.

Another example of the few haunting historical disasters that the exhibit presents is the destruction of the Bowman House, a four-story, hundred-room hotel destroyed in the Civil War, not by enemy bombardment or a hail of bullets, but by a simple fire.

“The Bowman House would have been on the corner of Amite Street and State Street and was used as a headquarters for both the northern and southern officers at times during the Civil War until it

was burned down by accident in 1863,” Stoll says. The photograph, taken in 1869, shows the Bowman in utter ruins. “For photos like these, it’s not always what’s in the picture; it’s about the story and people behind it.”

What “A Photographic History” accomplishes best, Stoll says, is providing visitors with a sense of the incredible differences in form that Jackson has adopted throughout the years. “There are obvious differences, of course, like the dirt roads that the city was built around in 1800,” Stoll says, “but more than anything, it shows how we’ve grown. We see features of the city’s historic sites and familiar landmarks change. Then, you find a modernized Jackson, with paved roads and electricity, and places like the Lamar Life Building skyscraper, which, at the time of its creation in 1929, was one of the largest reinforced concrete structures in the world.”

“Jackson: A Photographic History” is peppered with such century-long transformations and for Stoll, this element makes the collection most interesting. “We have early photos from the University of Mississippi Medical Center with only around 300 beds,” he says. “Now, they have over 9,000 employees and represent 10 percent of the economy for the Jackson metro area.

We also have photographs from the building of the Mississippi Coliseum, which actually sits 2,000 feet above Jackson’s extinct volcano.”

This is the last weekend Stoll says that visitors to the Old to catch “Jackson: A Capitol Museum’s newest attraction can Photographic History” at the Old Capitol Museum. expect “a better appreciation of what has happened and what our city has. Jackson is more than a small, southern state capital.

The Old Capitol Museum (100 S. State St., 601-576-6920) and “Jackson: A Photographic You get an underHistory” are free to visitors of all ages and open Tuesday to Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and standing that our city Sundays from 1 to 5 p.m. was once extremely prosperous, and with the knowledge that comes from considering our past, we can be prosperous again.”

Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy are at the top of their game in “The Heat.”

“T

he Heat” isn’t for people who are disturbed by four-letter words or candid discussions on the pros and cons of Spanx. If Spanx is a five-letter word you never heard of before, then you will definitely be squeezed into a new direction in this film directed by Paul Fieg (“Bridesmaids”), starring the bosom-buddy cop team of Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy.

In an impromptu undercover operation, Boston cop Mullins (McCarthy) tries to get Special Agent Ashburn (Bullock) dressed for the part by reworking her conservative pinstriped suit into something appropriately fetching for the lackey of a drug lord. The jacket gets removed. The shirtsleeves get ripped. After sheering the slacks into hot pants, Mullins points to the fleshcolored underwear that Ashburn is wearing and demands clarification. Ashburn’s chokes out: “They’re Spanx. … They hold everything together.” A bit mystified, Mullins bursts out: “Why? What’s gonna come popping out?”

In this film, you never know what’s going to come popping out of Mullins’ foulmouth, and frankly, it’s hysterical. It’s raunchy, rude, crude and not for all moviegoers, but gut-bustingly funny, because McCarthy’s Mullins lacks a filter, and Bullock’s Ashburn lobs back the jokes with the ease of a master straight man.

Except for the opening scene, where Ashburn engages in obvious and unsubtle brown-nosing techniques in New York, the core action takes place in Boston, which is strictly Mullins’ territory. Mullins scares her co-workers, shames her boss on the size of his manly parts and doesn’t play well with others. Ashburn is the perfect partner for Mullins, because she’s alienated all members of the FBI teams except the boss, who has a soft spot for her old fashioned charm.

“The Heat” is a movie without fuss.

The movie formula is blatant, and the con-

clusion is obvious. But Fieg’s fluid direction accounts, in part, for the warmth and likeableness of the performances of McCarthy and Bullock. These two ladies are at the top of their comedic game.

This film has the matter-of-fact, one-thing-after-another pitter patter of an R-rated Abbott and Costello movie, but this time we have a feminized version.

Well, it’s half feminized, because one of the running jokes is Mullins and her doppelganger at the local bar. The tension that keeps the movie spinning forward is that we have a nice cop, who’s not really all that likeable, and mean cop, who is really pretty sweet under all the bravado.

While, at times, the comedy drains away and leaves only tawdriness, these two actors are better than the material. Many parts of this film have a shocking comic power because of the chemistry between Bullock and McCarthy. These two have the conversational rhythm of best friends. It’s good, at times bad and definitely ugly when Mullins’ opts for the ball-busting approach to interrogation.

The story takes shape after the bonding bender at the local dive bar. The ladies chug. They hug. They dance, and they get to know each other’s weaknesses. Ashburn’s weakness is obvious; no one likes a prissy, self-serving braggart. She lugs around her trophies for support. Mullins snitched on her brother and had him imprisoned for dealing drugs. Her family wants nothing to do with her, but she’s a family girl at heart.

The film maintains a quick tempo.

The dialogue lifts the filter from the banal into curses of fun. It is the best-bosom buddy flick of an epic popcorn movie summer.

(Admittedly, there hasn’t been another “bosom” buddy flick this summer). Moviegoers agree. It stomped out the competition at the box office this weekend. It took “White House Down” … down.

You go girls!

reflecting on this darker time, Turner stays optimistic in knowing that with a bit of effort, things will inevitably be better.

COURTESY JASON TURNER

Non-profits, churches, sports teams – Pushlocal is FREE for you to use!

eleasing a new album is always a funny thing to Jason Turner because he writes so much. By the time his albums come out, he has usually written dozens more songs. His fifth and latest album “Apology on Repeat,” released June 18, features songs he wrote over the course of several years that producer Steve Blaze handpicked from about a hundred. With a theme of hope, “Apology on Repeat” is an album that has confused (and perhaps delighted) music classifiers.

Many peg “Apology on Repeat” as a country album, but Turner doesn’t even listen to country music. He’s more of a ’90s rock and ’80s new-wave guy. Although he was listening to a lot of Ryan Adams and Jason Isbell while recording this album, he says that he listens to Soundgarden and Pearl Jam all the time. Perhaps it’s those influences —and the southern drawl—that help Turner’s music sound like a mix between ’90s rock and country. Short melodies from classic ’90s rock songs such as “Closing Time”

by Semisonic and “Everything Falls Apart”

by Dogs Eye View come to mind throughout the album.

In “Apology on Repeat,” Turner uses the ups and downs of romantic relationships to represent other hardships in his life that he has overcome. One listen reveals the top layer, but listen closer, and the deeper message of hope and perseverance shines through.

“I hate to say that it’s a hopeful record because there’s a lot of dark stuff on there, but for me it really is,” Turner says, acknowledging that some of the tracks may be misleadingly solemn. “This album is me dealing with a rough part of my life.”

Journaling almost every day and reading keep Turner’s songwriting gears turning, even through hard times. He uses writing as a coping mechanism to bring closure to situations. “I could have an argument today and sit down tonight and write about it,” Turner says. “When I’m writing down the story, it’s almost like I’m closing a chapter.”

“Call Me When You’re Lonely” reflects on one closed chapter of Turner’s life. In it, he openly admits to drinking too much.

Looking back, it all seems like a waste. “So vague and meaningless,” he sings. “I can’t remember what was fun about all of this.” Like most of the songs on the album, this one has an element of outward love or longing for someone else. For the chorus, he sings, “Call me when you’re lonely/I’ll be home.”

On the previous track, “Can’t Let Go,” Turner muses more on the process of getting out of the slump that he was once in.

“I get kind of hermity and stay in my house when I get in a bad spot,” he says. The song is about getting out of that habit, realizing that it’s pointless and that life goes on. While

Jason Turner used writing the songs for his newest album, “Apology on Repeat,” as a therapeutic process.

Another hopeful-despite-the-circumstances track on “Apology on Repeat” is “No Substitute.” It seems to be one of the more confessional and personal tracks, opening with the lines, “Well there ain’t no satisfaction/In the way the tears fall from my eyes.”

In some ways, “Apology on Repeat” seems to chronicle a broken relationship that a newer, healthier one eventually replaces.

During the chorus of “No Substitute,” Turner sings, “I know one day I’ll find someone to treat me better than you.” On the other hand, he uses the accessible language of love and loss to address personal and deeper hardships that he has had to overcome. “They aren’t so much about one person as they are about actions,” Turner says.

Two of the album’s gems, “Lose You” and “Summertime,” act as admissions of being a flawed man. Turner says they are two of his favorite tracks. “Lose You” is a prediction of the end of a relationship because of his faults. One of the more country-leaning tracks of the album, “Lose You” still sounds contemporary—reminiscent of Jason Mraz and his fast-paced delivery. “Summertime” may also evoke the country label for some listeners, if only due to the conspicuous harmonica playing in the foreground.

When approaching such personal topics some artists opt to hide behind cryptic metaphorical language. In contrast, Turner, actively tries to be open and honest in a simple way. He has created an album which can serve hopeful purposes, from releasing oneself of self-doubt to feeling comfortable in moving on from a hard breakup.

Jason Turner’s album, “Apology on Repeat,” is available to download at itunes.com and amazon.com and is available for streaming on Spotify. Visit jasonturnerband.com, or find Jason Turner Band on Facebook.

Confetti Tumblers

by Amber Helsel

I

July 3 - 9, 2013

have Champagne taste on a beer budget.

At least, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what my dad always says. It translates to a need for me to have nice things in my houseâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;nice things, not expensive ones. When I lived in my apartment in Oxford, Miss., I had a few plastic cups (mostly plastic margarita glasses), but I also had an eight-count set of tumblers, glasses, what have you. That was my go-to for when I had company because, to me, you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be a hostess without the proper tools. I kept them in a special cabinet, and even now, living with my parents, I keep them on display in a glass cabinet.

The prospect of a new place to live is always on my mind, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be a while before my beer budget can afford it. Meanwhile, I love looking at fun DIYs to make my future house a home. And because I spend a lot of my time in the kitchen (mostly eating), I especially love kitchen projects.

â&#x20AC;˘ Enamel acrylic paints in whatever colors youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d likeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;I used red, white, yellow and blue â&#x20AC;˘ Stemless wineglass tumblers â&#x20AC;˘ Paper towels â&#x20AC;˘ Newspaper â&#x20AC;˘ Cotton swabs â&#x20AC;˘ Parchment paper â&#x20AC;˘ Baking sheet

The other day, I found one on savvysugar.com that piqued my interestâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;making confetti tumblers. I loved it because not only would it provide me with new dishes, but it would also ignite my artistic side that hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come out much since high school.

This is an easy project, although a lengthy one, but it was relaxing to listen to The Lumineers while dotting glasses. I mostly just painted, ignoring the instructions to wait until the first layer dried. My four glasses were each pretty uniqueâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;there was a primary color glass (my favorite color scheme), a random color one, a green one, and one that ended up looking similar to Van â&#x20AC;&#x153;Starry Night.â&#x20AC;?

I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t keep these because I just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the space, so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m giving them to someone else. When my beer budget can finally afford an apartment, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll revisit this idea for a quirky way to make a house a home.
