s the founder and executive director of the Mississippi Ridability Therapeutic Riding Center, Christy Henderson lives to enrich the lives of special-needs individuals through horseback riding. The North Hollywood, Calif., native founded the nonprofit center in 2007 on her ranch in Brandon after discovering Mississippi had no member Ridability center.

Henderson, 54, became interested in horseback riding about 10 years ago when her she and her family spent a week horseback riding in the Colorado Rocky Mountains.

“It just did something to me,” Henderson says. “I just really fell in love with the whole process, and wanted to come back to take lessons and learn how to ride a horse well. In the process, I was doing a lot of reading about horses and horseback riding, and I came across information about PATH, which was then known as NARHA.” PATH, or the Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship International, was known as the North American Riding for the Handicapped Association when established in 1969. It is a nonprofit organization that promotes equine-assisted activities and therapies for individuals with special needs. Nationally each year, PATH members help more than 54,000 children and adults with physical and mental disabilities find strength and independence through horseback riding.

Henderson visited and volunteered at sev-

eral PATH centers before she established her own. “It kind of just planted a seed,” Henderson says. “When I started looking, there wasn’t one to volunteer at in the Jackson area, so I decided to start one.”

While volunteering, Henderson connected with others involved in therapeutic horseback riding. “The people were very nice and also very motivated,” Henderson says. “They all had this fearless ‘can-do’ attitude, which is the kind of attitude you have to have when working with horses. (You can’t) be afraid of hard work.

I just like that combination of people working hard and giving back to their communities.”

Working with the riders is fulfilling for Henderson as well. “See how happy and excited the students were—you just can’t beat that,” she says.

The center trains individuals age 4 and older with a wide range of physical and mental disabilities, including cerebral palsy, partial paralysis, stroke, down syndrome, traumatic brain injury and multiple sclerosis.

Henderson says seeing her students transform is the best aspect of her job.

“Watching them over time as they get more balanced, more confident and develop some self- esteem because of the horseback riding lessons is very, very rewarding,” she says.

Henderson resides in Pearl with her husband, Harold Henderson. They have one son, Jonathan Harold, 22.

EDITOR’S note

by Kathleen M. Mitchell Features Editor

Finding Sheroes

L

ast week, I finally started reading Sheryl Sandberg’s “Lean In” after purchasing it months ago. The book chronicles Sandberg’s path in bigbusiness leadership while examining why the ratio of women to men in major leadership roles is so dismal. The second chapter put a name to something I’ve experienced many times in my life: the imposter syndrome.

Sandberg describes the imposter syndrome as a “phenomenon of capable people being plagued by self-doubt.” She first heard the term in a speech at an all-female Phi Beta Kappa induction. She recalls: “At last, someone was articulating exactly how I felt.

Every time I was called on in class, I was sure that I was about to embarrass myself. Every time I took a test, I was sure that it had gone badly. And every time I didn’t embarrass myself—or even excelled—I believed that I had fooled everyone yet again. One day soon, the jig would be up.”

As I read those words, a lightbulb went off in my head. Yes. This feeling that I have been racked with throughout the years—this feeling has a name? And it’s something the COO of Facebook felt growing up?

For the most part, men don’t have this issue. It, like so many forms of low self-confidence, is overwhelmingly something women suffer. It is only one of the many psychological factors holding women back.

It’s fairly common knowledge that the vast majority of leaders in politics, finance, business, etc., are men. Sandberg explores why. It’s a complicated, interconnected web of learned behaviors and societal traditions.

Despite proving over and over that women are just as capable as men, they remain behind and apart. Men are still writing our history—men are still framing our story.

Then, Sunday night, I watched a documentary called “Miss Representation.” It’s available on Netflix; please watch it. The film focuses on the effect the sudden explosion of

media is having on females in their most vulnerable, impressionable years. In the last decade, reality TV, Facebook, gossip websites and YouTube have grown exponentially, to the point where they push more content than could ever possibly be consumed.

And because smartphones are becoming increasingly the norm for younger and younger users, that content is largely avail-

Think about the women you see in films and TV shows, on magazine covers and runways.

They are pornified, photoshopped, plastic. able 24/7, with no filter.

The idea of men framing the conversation really hits home with “Miss Representation.” The film shares that women hold only 3 percent of clout positions in telecommunications, entertainment, publishing and advertising. That means 97 percent of the stories we consume—whether they be feature-length films or a single magazine ad or something in between—come from an overwhelmingly male perspective.

Think about the women you see in films and TV shows, on magazine covers and runways. They are pornified, photoshopped, plastic. Female characters are mostly a joke.

If a female character is intelligent or strong, she is either a shrew, written for laughs, or an

anomaly—the one smart woman in a roomful of ditzes.

The way media handle our female leaders in real life is even worse. Condoleeza Rice is a dominatrix. Hillary Clinton is a bitch.

Sarah Palin is only good for masturbation material. These are all descriptors various— even legitimate—media used to describe educated, passionate political leaders. Because they are female, they are put down and pornified, just like their fictional counterparts.

The worst part is, it’s not just the men putting women down. Women put themselves down. We put each other down.

We need more media literacy of gender issues. We have to realize how the stories, images and sounds we consume affect us and future generations. We have to challenge our own perspectives, and those media try to push on us.

I have to challenge my perspectives.

I have to learn to believe in myself so that someday, other girls and women can look at me and believe in themselves.

A group of friends and I share a board on Pinterest called Sheroes, where we pin images of inspiring women: Hillary Clinton, Sally Ride, Martha Graham, Frida Kahlo, Margaret Cho, Susan Orlean, Assata Shakur, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are just a few of the faces you’ll find.

Many of these women are beautiful in traditional or unconventional ways, but we didn’t choose them for their beauty. Rather, it is their strength, determination, intelligence, bravery, wit and their “I don’t give a rat’s ass what you think of me” attitude that earns them a spot on the board.

These are the women I strive to embody, not the magazine cover girl with washboard abs and long, bouncy locks. I wish more little girls knew about our Sheroes.

Media can be—and are—harmful. But media can also be inspiring, if and only if we band together and work to make it that way.

Even social media can be beneficial. Besides our Shero shrine, I have found in the last year that, through social media, I’ve built realworld relationships with women that I’ve known for several years and can only now admit that I’ve kept at arms length because I was intimidated by their beauty. I almost missed out on supporting and lifting up these smart, sharp women because I nearly let a petty jealousy keep me from pursuing their friendship.

This happens way too often with our gender. Both “Lean In” and “Miss Representation” discuss the importance of mentors and peers. We can’t do it alone. Other women—and men—need to help women climb up to the top tiers of success. Sometimes we need an outside reminder that we are better than we think we are.

Personally, I’m dedicating myself to breaking my imposter syndrome. I’m working on taking a seat at the table (another of Sandberg’s vital maxims for women in leadership).

I ask, I beg, I demand that you consume media consciously. Consume critically. Men and women, ask yourself: Would I think the same if gender was reversed? Would I find this joke funny? Would this ad be as effective if the female was more fully dressed? Whose perspectives are framing this story?

Spend your money on what aligns with your values, with the person you want to be—or, better yet, the people you want your daughters and sons to grow up to be. When you watch a TV show, buy a magazine, rent a film or click on a webpage, you are voting with your money. Even with free content, you are paying with your attention, usually through advertising. Choose not to put money in the pockets of those who degrade women, who make it that much harder for us to assume the leadership I know we are capable of. If women don’t stand up for each other, who will?

Gators: A Conservation Love Story

by R.L. Nave

B

y now, the stories of Mississippiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s three record-breaking alligators have traveled around the world.

Lesser known or discussed, however, is how federal and state conservation programs rescued alligators from near-extinction in Mississippi and the southeast and made the historic catches possible.

Charles Knight, the director of the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science in Jackson, explained that the American alligator (scientific name: alligator mississippiensis) was hunted to near extinction until 1969, when the federal government banned hunting the animal.

In the early 1970s, with passage of the U.S. Endangered Species Act and state laws in Mississippi, the alligator had even stronger protections. The program was so successful that in 1987, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, which enforces the Endangered Species Act, reclassified the alligator from threatened to â&#x20AC;&#x153;threatened due to a similarity of appearanceâ&#x20AC;? with the American crocodile. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re common,â&#x20AC;? Knight said of alligators.

Conservationists count the alligator as one of the great species comeback stories of the 20th century, even though the whole story is not without controversy. When Congress first passed it, the Endangered Species Act met bitter opposition from hunters and commercial trappers who sold the valuable hides for shoes, handbags and wristwatch bands to tanneries around the world. Gator prohibition enticed hunters to engage in widespread poaching at times.

In the early 1990s, one of the most famous wildlife vs. human controversies pitted

protectors of the Northern spotted owl against the Pacific Northwest timber industry and the thousands of logging jobs it supported. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is time we worried not only about endangered species, but about endangered jobs,â&#x20AC;? then-President George H.W. Bush told The Oregonian newspaper at the time.

Despite cries that listing the spotted owl as endangered would wreak havoc on the economies of Northern California, Oregon and Washington state, the logging industry did not collapse.

The Mississippi Department of Fisheries, Wildlife and Parks issued 920 licenses from a lottery pool of approximately 27,000 applications. Hunters pay $100 for the permit, which allows them to catch up to two alligators.

The record only applies to alligators that hunters have caught. The state has harbored even bigger gators.

The Natural Science Museum recently put a 12-foot, 800-pounder on display caught on Eagle Lake in Warren County in 2009. Knight, the museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s director, said TRIP BURNS

Friday, Sept. 6 Leaders of the 20 largest world economies commit to cracking down on crossborder companies that use tax havens.

¹7HEN PERCENT OF YOUR STUDENTS AREN´T GRADUATING THAT LEADS TO CRIME ²

Thanks to wildlife-conservation laws, small alligators like this one can grow up to be big alligators like the three record-shattering gators caught recently in Mississippi waters.

Even after the federal government reclassified the alligator when its numbers rebounded, Mississippi continued to manage the reptileâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s numbers. After reclassification, the state Legislature established regulations to allow alligator hunting to resume for the first time in two decades.

state officials had to remove the nuisance animal. People often fed the beast, and therefore, it had lost its natural fear of humans. â&#x20AC;&#x153;An 800-pound (alligator) thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not afraid of people is not a good thing,â&#x20AC;?

Knight said.

Comment at www.jfp.ms.

Whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Threatening?

With alligator hunting legal and organized, what better time to review animals in Hinds County that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service lists as â&#x20AC;&#x153;threatenedâ&#x20AC;?? We wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be seeing any hunters licensed to kill these species any time soon.

Williams: Hustle and Fight

by R.L. Nave

September 11 - 17, 2013

What are you passionate about?

10

I’m passionate about helping every area of Hinds County and District 2. I think the rural areas have been neglected for too long.

Not that Jackson doesn’t have some of the same needs, but I think those areas I know have been shorthanded. …

Edwards has got a water problem.

In Utica, we need to get some jobs there. Right away, we could do some

things that wouldn’t cost a lot of money.

I say we do a whole lot of grantwriting.

TRIP BURNS

T

ed Williams, 63, wants to lean on the intellectual resources of Hinds County’s colleges and universities to solve the county’s leadership and financial problems. An electrician by trade, Williams, who attended Hinds Community College, believes county supervisors should ask trades people and other subject-matter experts to serve as apprentices and tutors for young people as a means to keep them off the streets and out of trouble.

Williams, who has been married to his wife, Mary, for 45 years, recently spoke with the Jackson Free Press about the philanthropic approach he would take to running Hinds County if he is elected the next District 2 supervisor.

Where would you apply for grants?

Everyone we can. I’m not going to name a specific person or place. I think we go after every grant that’s available that will help Jackson, too. ...

If these are your passions, what are the passions of your constituents?

When I talk to them about that, that’s some of what they want because they think it will keep our young people from hanging on corners and breaking in people’s houses. Not saying it will stop all that, but it would be a big plus. The other thing I talk to them about is: Why is it that we can’t get some swimming pools in this area? We need to have a system set up where they can come in and have trained lifeguards to teach them how to swim.

We’re talking about building facilities that the county doesn’t have, but do we have money for this?

I don’t know what they’ve got money for. But I’m not just going to look at the budget. I’m going after grant money as much as possible. We need to get the peo-

Are there economic-development opportunities on the horizon?

Right now, they have a building in

Utica—you can put a Subway (sandwich restaurant) in it right now. There’s not a Subway, there’s not a McDonald’s or anything like that. We’ve got to be willing to give them all the help we can to help them get to that point.

CRASSOCIATES, INC. IS HIRING FOR THE FOLLOWING POSITIONS AT THE US DEPARTMENT OF VETERAN AFFAIRS

by Tyler Cleveland

FLICKR/WOODLEYWONDERWORKS

Parents in Jackson are likely to have one more reason to make sure their children regularly attend school.

J

ackson Councilman Tony Yarber, Ward 6, doesn’t split hairs on state truancy laws at Jackson Public Schools: He doesn’t believe they are being enforced.

That’s why he put forth a new ordinance late last month that would apply fines and penalties for parents of students who were regularly caught playing hooky.

“When you look at a graduation rate that isn’t even 70 percent, and you look at the fact that many of the people we are talking about, truancy has to be factored in,” Yarber said. “When 30 percent of your students aren’t graduating, that leads to crime.

In south Jackson, we have a property-crime problem, and the crimes are taking place during the daytime.”

Section 37-13-91 of the Mississippi Code outlines truancy laws, and allows for 12 unexcused absences per student during the course of a 180-day school year. An unexcused absence for any student 17 and younger is defined as missing part of or an entire school day while not in the company of his or her legal guardian or attending an associational meeting, such as a religious or school meeting, theater or athletic event.

Under the state statute, a parent or guardian who has been notified of their child’s excessive absences “shall be guilty of contributing to the neglect of a child.” Section 97-5-39 lays out the penalty for that crime: A fine not to exceed $1,000 or up to a year of imprisonment.

“We have a state law that mandates compulsory school attendance,” Yarber said.

“But what we don’t have is a mechanism to enforce that. It isn’t (happening) anywhere.”

Superintendent Cedric Gray could not be reached for comment to confirm or deny Yarber’s claim by press time.

Under the proposed ordinance, JPS officials would designate a site to transport any minor truancy offenders. At that site, JPS staffers would determine the proper school and placement of the student, and notify the parents.

For a first offense, the parents of the

minor will receive a warning. A second offense merits a fine of up to $150 and attendance at responsible parenting classes if the municipal court deems it appropriate. For a third or subsequent offense, a parent would face a fine not to exceed $250 and additional parenting classes.

Yarber, who holds an elementary education degree from the University of Southern Mississippi and a master’s degree in education administration and supervision from Jackson State University, served as principal at Marshall Elementary in south Jackson before he ran for city council in 2009. He is quick to rattle off JPS’ 2011 graduation rate of 61.8 percent and its dropout rate of 22.8 percent.

JPS’ numbers show the average daily attendance rate for last year was 93.4 percent.

Yarber is not suggesting we start enforcing state law; he wants the new ordinance to be the standard for Jackson. “(It’s not being enforced) in Jackson (and) not in any other school district I’ve worked in,” Yarber said of the state’s truancy law.

“For anyone to (put up the) facade that it is being enforced or working is negligent, and it’s taking advantage of misinformation and making ignorance bliss.”

The difference in his ordinance and the state law, he says, is the ease with which authorities can enforce it and because it brings JPS to the table. Under current law, the police would have to drag a delinquent child through the legal process instead of simply taking them to a JPS-chosen location that Yarber’s ordinance would establish.

“Also, I think this starts a conversation about the problems we’re having in communities.” Yarber said. “It’s already done more than I thought it would, and it’s not even law.

It’s started conversation and dialogue about how we help the school system.”

The ordinance would become law 30 days after a majority of the city council votes to approve it.

The Money is Right

R

udy McBride: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Greetings to potential, new and existing customers of the Let Me Hold Five Dollars National Bank. Last week, I had an interesting conversation with Harris â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Stotleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Jenkins, resident philosopher of the Ghetto Science Team Think Tank.

After I approved his $50 L.M.H.F.D Financial Crisis Loan, he shared this interesting thought: The financial, physical, spiritual and emotional condition of the common people is a reflection of a crisisridden word. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Harris â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Stotleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Jenkinsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; deep, philosophical statement inspired me to create a way to help people in crisis. Starting next week, the Let Me Hold Five Dollars National Bank will conduct a random act of kindness for each customerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s financial crisis with the $50 Financial Crisis Loan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Random Act of Kindness During Financial Crisis Loanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; will help an under-paid wage earner with some cash to purchase fuel for his or her gas-guzzling hoopty. When a mother is short on money to pay for her childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s day care, the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Instant Random Act Loanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; will come to the rescue. And pay that utility bill with a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Just in Time Random Act Loanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; from your friendly L.M.H.F.D. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Also, Harris â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Stotleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Jenkins expressed another profound sentiment: When the money is right, your burdens are light. I totally agree with Mr. Jenkins. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With that said, hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to creating a new world that reflects compassion instead of crisis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And remember our new L.M.H.F.D. slogan: Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll let you hold five dollars, but you got to pay us back when you can.â&#x20AC;?

Why it stinks: Same old, same old conservative responseâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;reduce the size of government regardless of what the issue is.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve said it before, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll say it again: Mississippiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s roads are in bad shape. Without funding to repair and maintain the roads we have, those highways and by-ways will simply continue to deteriorate, making them damaging to vehicles and dangerous to those who drive on them.

So far, the state Legislature has been terrifically one-sided in its funding for Mississippiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s road network. It funded expansion but not maintenance. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an oversight that lawmakers must address, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unlikely that they can simply â&#x20AC;&#x153;rob Peter to pay Paul,â&#x20AC;? shifting money from one agency to another.

If Mississippians want roads they can safely drive on, they will need to pay for their upkeep.

Time to Show Up

N

ext week, the Mississippi Legislature takes up hearings on the fiscal year 2015 budget. Beginning Monday, Sept. 16, the 14-member Joint Legislative Committee will hear how much money various state agencies need and why. The full Legislature will hammer out the details when it reconvenes in January.

That may sound like itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a long way off, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not.

And letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s be clear: The conservatives in the Mississippi Legislature will do everything in their power to continue down a path laid out decades ago. Just in case youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not aware of what that path is, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll repeat it: The goal is to limit the role of government everywhere, making it small enough to â&#x20AC;&#x153;drown it in the bathtub,â&#x20AC;? in the immortal words of Grover Norquist, regardless of the human toll.

On the other hand, progressives seem continuously on the defensive. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the â&#x20AC;&#x153;tax and spendâ&#x20AC;? liberalsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;even for supporting common-sense legislation, such as fully funding public schools and maintaining Mississippiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s roads. Funding for the arts is lower in the United States that most developed countries and has barely budged in more than a decade.

All of us should step away from partisan talking points to honestly consider what kind of a Mississippi we want. Do we want a state where people have influence and opportunity? Do we want

children who are well educated and good critical thinkers? Do we want our kids to understand and appreciate their culture? Should our families have enough to eat? Should Mississippians be healthy?

How about this: Do we want a government that is accountable and transparent? (Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you find it curious that most of the people promoting the idea that government doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work and canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be trustedâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;that it is the problem and not the solutionâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;are paid and elected government officials?)

The beauty of the American democratic process is that all of us have an opportunity to have our voices heard. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to become cynical. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard, but necessary, is to stand up for what we believe in. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tough in politicsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;at least as tough as any other part of life.

The closer an elected official is to home, the more impact citizen involvement can have. While it may be difficult, even impossible, to sway public policy decisions in Washington, D.C., the chances are high that your state senator or House of Representative memberâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;just as your mayor, county tax collector and even the dog catcherâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;lives just down the street. In theory, that means those people must be responsive to their constituents if they want to be re-elected. It takes our voices as well as our votes to make the system work.

Never forget: Local politics influence state politics, which, in turn, influence national politics. To make a difference, we must show up and demand accountability.

But she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know her. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Grandma, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know this beautiful little girl?â&#x20AC;? I called to her.

Without seeing me, she said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Funmi.

Funmi, is that you?â&#x20AC;?

I felt a relief that I pray I never forget.

Growing up, one of my favorite places was my grandmotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home, nestled in her arms. She had the best hugs, and she still does. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m almost 39 now, and I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help but prepare myself for a time when that place is no longer an option. Since Mama and Daddy are both gone, my grandmother is a precious jewel to me.

I want to place her in a locked chest forever. I know thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s impossible, so I try to prepare myself for a day when Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to unlock memories to be close to her. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yes, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s me!â&#x20AC;? I looked into the eyes of a woman who has traced lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s winding road in a way I know the creator would marvel upon. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s witnessed her siblingsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; transitions, and favorite cousins have gone on before her. She has lived through the death of a childâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a son, her first.

I sat outside alone with her caregiver for our catch-up session, which Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d come to cherish. Ms. Pat has all the goods on how Gâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ma is really doing, and I wanted to know the truth. Dementia is coming as she ages.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard for me to see the bad days, but I know they are there. I wanted to hear Ms. Pat tell me what happens when she slips. She explained to me that my grandmother, on bad days, forgets how to answer the phone. I remember when I lived with her: She was always on the phone chatting with her friends.

Now, the phone gets on her nerves. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She often speaks of her siblings and her mother,â&#x20AC;? Ms. Pat explained. I never heard my grandmother speak about her mother. Dementia often takes its victims back to memories of early life. I find comfort in the idea that sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s remembering being a daughter. I wish I could have a glimpse of a younger Evelyn prancing around with

her beautiful smile and curves galore. That makes me smile.

Then, Ms. Pat started to explain how she listens to stories about my daddy. I began to feel a little sad, but it was nothing compared to hearing her discuss how much she hears about me. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Funmi, she talks about you all the time,â&#x20AC;? Ms. Pat said.

I knew what that meant, but I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t respond.

It was a great visit with my grandmother this time. It always is. She is, finally, after all these years, starting to look like a grandmother. Although still beautiful and happyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; at least when I am aroundâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;she is beginning to show signs of being an elder. I never really thought about that. I sort of just thought sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d always look the same, act the same and be the same grandma sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always been.

On the ride back home, my tears began. I know why she talks about me all the time. I know why our bond is so strong, and why there is such a connection between us.

When she looks at me, she sees her child.

She sees whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s left of her son. In me, she sees the child that has gone before her. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure, now, that she has always seen him in me.

I believe that when I was born, the universe knew my fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life would be brief, so it breathed relief for her in me. She can find solace for his departure in my voice; in my eyes, she sees his face.

I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t imagine what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like to say goodbye to a life that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve given birth to. My fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother has existed in the pain of missing him daily. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve watched her cry when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too much to look at me. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve cried with her. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve called her on his birthday because I know sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the only person in the world who could possibly understand the stinging pain of not having him with us.

The bond that rests in family bloodlines should never be crossed. It is our foundation, and it is to be valued and cherished.

Our time here is short and, if we spend time on things that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter, we wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give time to the things that do matter.

You can make money, receive accolades and accomplish great things, but what really matters are the lives that touch you and those that you touch. Family is where that starts. While itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s often hurtful to speak to her, I know how much my voice, my presence means to my grandma. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m thankful to be such a gift.

Funmi â&#x20AC;&#x153;Queenâ&#x20AC;? Franklin is a word lover, poet and advocate for sisterhood. She has a weakness for reality shows.

She had the best hugs, and she still does.

JOSH HAILEY

In their 20s, artists (from left) William Goodman, Josh Hailey, Ginger WilliamsCook and Jason “Twiggy” Lott fed off the creative energy of Fondren’s revitalization.

Half-Life

his summer, a couple of Walker’s Drive-In employees painted a mural on the iconic eatery’s patio wall in Fondren. It replaced a pockmarked and aging piece The Projectors, a trio of artists who still live and work in Jackson, did a decade ago.

In case you haven’t heard, folks dig Fondren. The oftheralded oasis that the neighborhood has become adds another layer of gloss to Jackson’s collective memory of the artists who helped spur that momentum forward—folks such as Josh Hailey, Ginger Williams-Cook, William Goodman and Jason “Twiggy” Lott.

People remember Williams-Cook, Goodman and Lott as muralists The Projectors. They were also The Dirty Lipsticks (no gloss necessary), a band they founded just for fun.

They performed only for each other and friends in their loft studio spaces in the building.

“We never actually played any shows or really even any instruments,” Goodman says. “But we played in front of the camera. I think the idea of being in a band was wonderful to think about.”

With tongue-in-cheek monikers, the artists, then all in their early 20s, were literally making names for themselves.

The renovation on the Fondren Corner building, which would become their hub, wasn’t finished when Josh Hailey moved into a studio there in 2005 and joined the others, including artist Jason Marlow, who has since moved away to work in New York City and Austin, Texas.

“William lived right off the elevator, and some of the letters had been scraped off the sign, so it just said ‘evato,’” Hailey says. “There were five of us, so we were like, ‘That’s our name for our art making.’ Twiggy was a graphic designer dabbling in

painting, Ginger and William were painters, Jason Marlow was a multimedia artist, and I was a photographer. We all got together and made a hotspot for collective art.”

That mixed-use building was the nucleus of the neighborhood’s creative vibe. Fondren Corner residents bartered and exchanged energy. “It was like New York,” Williams-Cook says. “‘Loft living—this is so cool!’”

Warm as those memories are, nostalgic like Technicolor (many of them were archived and time-stamped by Hailey’s lens), these four are still at work creating art that is more layered, mature and compelling than ever.

“We’re here still. We exist, and we’re still doing things,” Lott says.

But they aren’t in their 20s anymore, Toto.

In this story, the canine companion is Minerva, Lott’s neurotic and irresistible Chihuahua. Their youthful personas have waned; not discarded, just outgrown. But the radioactive energy these harbingers of Fondren’s artistic vibe created during the mid 2000s—running down hallways, keeping watch over the neighborhood for break-ins from high atop the roof, collaborating at insane hours, and donning props and costumes (and yes, dirty lipstick) for impromptu photo shoots—has not disappeared. The elements of their creativity have realigned and reformed, through all the learning and life

and travel of a decade.

“Probably from the outside, a lot of people looked at us as these rebellious, crazy artists, which we were in a lot of ways,” Goodman says. “But it started feeling good, at least for myself, when people started taking us seriously. It wasn’t just some game.”

Ginger Williams-Cook is now married and a mother of a little girl named Eloise. Goodman has grown and advanced in his art making. Lott has a dedicated studio space and workshop where he paints, assembles, builds furniture and creates full time. And Hailey, a self-described wanderluster, is on the highways in his van (heading toward Amherst, Mass., when we spoke) on the tail end of a two-year documentary project, Photamerica, in which he has interviewed countless subjects from all walks and explored the folds and complexities of the nation.

The presence of Williams-Cook’s daughter, Eloise, is one of the most drastic life changes for any of the four (although Lott’s paternal instincts showed as little Minerva sat on his lap and licked at his chin). “I’m incredibly focused and driven now,” she says.

Even as we talked, her husband, Justin Cook, was back home taking care of Eloise, who is now about a year and a half old, making sure she didn’t try to eat a paintbrush like she did during her first art session. “I want to be authentic

JOSH HAILEY

Although they live in different areas of the city (and all around the country, in Josh Hailey’s case), the artists remain close.

With Josh Hailey behind the camera, Goodman, Williams-Cook and Lott often had impromptu photo shoots while living in Fondren Corner.

finding that creative pulse and energy and being authentic to that,” Williams-Cook says. “Not feeling like you have to live in New York.”

“To this day, I feel I can’t live in another major metropolitan city and do my art full time,” Goodman adds.

“We’re blessed that we have this place. Jackson’s never given up on us. I remember that, and I know that.”

Meanwhile, Josh Hailey was somewhere five, 10, 15 states away. But even his absence from Jackson for the better part of two years is in service to his artistic vision with the goal of bringing back what he learns to the state. In 2011, Hailey took a job art directing a photography project for the Mississippi Development Authority documenting workers throughout the state, which he calls “the best damn job I’ve had in my life.” After that, he looked at the American landscape and saw the Occupy movement in full swing and a presidential election around the corner.

“I was watching 10,000 kick starters happening, and I was like, ‘I’m not going to stand still,’” he says. “I can spend the same amount of money in my van and travel, do a documentary, make art and invest in trying to make the world a better place by talking to people.”

Hailey made it through 35 of 50 states in 2012, supported by a successful crowd-funding campaign, and returned to Mississippi briefly to raise money for the final leg of his nationwide sojourn.

“Here I am, about to finish up,” he tells me. “I’m bringing it back to Jackson in October, hopefully getting a storefront in Fondren, and putting a lot of effort into putting a showcase together for December to show all of this stuff from the good, the bad and the ugly in America.”

These four artists are strangely in tune with one another despite the distance of separate lives and projects.

Without prompting, they speak of the same themes and philosophies and express fondness for the place where they started. “Jackson’s been good to the three of us,” Goodman says, sitting with the other two Projectors in Lott’s studio.

Speaking later from his van, rumbling down the road, it is as if Hailey had been listening in. “I love my state,” he says. “And I always will.”

Those years together in Fondren were central for all four artists. It wasn’t about the physical place, necessarily, though they found the perfect arena for creative experimentation.

Their relationships with each other bond them together as they pursue individual endeavors. They became intertwined back then, like tributaries colliding, making waves. That will be part of their narratives even if they leave Jackson. But for now, it looks like they’ll be home for a while.

Paint fades, photographs yellow, and pieces peel off our stories. Details drop out, and we replace them with new shades, making confabulated compounds of recollection.

The mythology to those early Fondren Corner artists will always be around, though it may continue to change forms as they grow professionally.

At roughly the same time as The Projectors’ mural at Walker’s vanished beneath fresh designs this summer, Goodman painted a mural downtown at Steve’s Downtown Deli & Bakery, the first he’d done in two years, as if to prove that energy is never made nor destroyed.

when I tell Eloise she can be anything she wants to be,” Williams-Cook says. “I want her to see art as part of her life.”

Looking around the studio of Twiggy Lott, you’ll see furniture he created with another collaborator, Josh Bishop, out of salvaged industrial materials and discarded bits of metal and wood. These beaten-down scraps and structures have outlived their intended uses and find new purpose as polished artworks. Similarly, the subject matter of Lott’s paintings draws from that sensibility.

“My art now is influenced by the very incessant decay of the South. When I think of my home, it’s junk cars sitting around rusting and old buildings,” Lott says.

The inspiration that these four now find is heavily tied to home, but exploring new places invigorates it. Goodman references a recent trip and the sights that have seeped into his paintings.

“I spent a couple weeks in Miami this summer. Visual stimulation everywhere,” he says. “Somebody had spent so much time doing a mural on one of the streets, and then someone rolled over some of it. Someone else had painted something else on top, and then that was rolled over. I’m looking at the paintings I’m doing right now as old walls that maybe somebody has written something on, and I’m trying to bring new life to it.”

“I’ll find I’m influenced by what I’ve seen when I travel but not even really know it,” Lott says. “I’ll come back, and the way I see that influence is through my work. It’s a mirror for what I’ve experienced.”

It isn’t about getting out of Mississippi. Rather, discovery of other cultures and climes becomes additive to the art scene in Jackson when the artists return. “It’s really about

Lisa Marie Grows Up L

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve worked with several different people, but everything really started coming together when I was working with Richard Hawley (of Pulp) in Harcourt.

Most of the songs are written with that collaboration. We started getting into a groove writing together.

This album is complete departure from your previous work. Was that a conscious decision?

It came really naturally. It was not con-

How is the new material translating to live audiences?

It goes well live. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a little more rocking live, a little more energized. The first half of the show is mostly acoustic and very mellow.

Toward the end, we ramp it up, and the last

can donate $35 a month and basically save a childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life. They really allow people to get involved with these children and their families. I decided to use this tour as a way to encourage people to get involved so there will be a table set up at each show.

Lisa Marie Presley performs at Duling Hall Sept. 18.

What was it like to work with T-Bone?

I had 30-something songs, and he had them all in his computer. We would come in every day, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d listen, and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d decide to do a particular one. The room was all set up, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d record everything live. He would come out and play, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be so thrilled. We never knew what he might do because heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very last-minute, and you couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pin him down. He also has this aura about him, so nobody wanted to mess with him, but heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the sweetest teddy bear that ever walked the planet. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so sweet. I had this paternal thing with him. He really took me under his wing and really believed in me. I was so grateful.

four or five songs are very high energy. This record is so different for me because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a rock record, so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not running all over the stage like a crazy person the entire time trying to compete with all the instruments. The newer material is more laid back, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve noticed that people really sit and listen.

Tell me about the song â&#x20AC;&#x153;How Do You Fly This Plane?â&#x20AC;?

Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re working with World Vision for this tour. How did you get involved with them?

That was written for a friend of mine that had lost their child. It was hard for me to watch them going through that, and I was kind of part of that process. It was really scary because once Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d recorded it, I sent it to them, and they asked me if I would make sure it gets put on the record. They wanted to make sure it got on there in case it might help someone else going through something like that.

Anyone that knows me knows that I have always been involved with charities involving children. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always been active in that department. Somehow, through mutual connections, we got introduced.

I was really impressed with everything they do.

No one really knows how big they are and how they help children all over the world in these third-world countries. You

As a new mother of twins, what is like to be on tour and to be a parent?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of those things. We get up, we have a nice hotel room, I give them a bath.

If thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a pool, they play. Otherwise, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on the bus. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll do sound check and go back and make sure theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re safe in time for the show. After the show, I make sure they have pajamas on and ready for bed.

They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really care about the whole â&#x20AC;&#x153;show businessâ&#x20AC;? part of it. The other day we had a gig where we were outside, so it was kind of like we were camping and they were having fun just running around. The main thing is that I make sure theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re always safe.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s definitely a juggle, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun.

Lisa Marie Presley will bring her tour to Duling Hall in Jackson Sept. 18 at 7:30 p.m.

Tickets are $25 in advance and $30 at the door. VIP packages are available for $100. Visit 37 ardenland.net for more info. jacksonfreepress.com

How did the songwriting for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Storm and Graceâ&#x20AC;? happen?

trived. It started to really come on its own. I started with the song â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weary.â&#x20AC;? It was really hard for me, because it was broken down and stripped back, and I was used to all this production on my first two albums. This was very naked for me. I was very uncomfortable with that in the past. It started with the demos, and I sent them to T-Bone. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think he would have responded to the harder material. He seemed to like the more natural, organic stuff. He came in and put all the icing on the cake.

isa Marie Presley really doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need an introduction. Most people know sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the only daughter of Elvis and Priscilla Presley. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also been releasing music of her own since 2002. Grammy award winner T-Bone Burnett (â&#x20AC;&#x153;O Brother, Where Art Thou,â&#x20AC;? Elvis Costello and others) produced her third album, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Storm and Grace.â&#x20AC;? Those who think they are familiar with her brand of pop/rock may want to rethink their position when they hear this stark, rootsy collection.

I spoke by phone with Presley, 45, about her new music, her current tour and, of course, family.

Spirit of Dante

by Anita Modak-Truran

Furya (that’s Riddick’s home), Riddick will relinquish his grand pooh bah position to Vaako. Softened by power and position, Riddick fails to acknowledge the ruthlessness of his opponent. Vaako’s escort team leaves Riddick for dead on a forlorn planet.

Riddick measures his days in degrees of bad. His eyes glow like laser beams at night and, without his tinted shades, he sees the planet in shades of purple.

Like Prometheus bound to a rock, Riddick withstands physical punishment. He defends himself with his wits, brawn and an all-purpose knife set. He rescues a dingo-doghyena pup that provides a playful nip from all the dreary darkness of endless torture.

Sensing things are going to get even worse, Riddick activates the emergency beacon at the intergalactic way station. Bounty hunters, led by the loud-mouth Santana (Jordi Molla), arrive first. Santana and his men want Riddick’s head, because Riddick is worth more dead than alive.

Boss Johns (Matt Nable) and his team of trained mercenaries also respond to the beacon, but for different reasons. Johns wants information about his son.

The bounty hunters and mercenaries

As the title character, Vin Diesel endures hell in “Riddick.”

don’t get along. Dahl (Katee Sackoff), Johns’ second in command, delivers a walloping knockout punch to the mouthy Santana.

This movie mythologizes Riddick. He’s an elusive, mysterious legend, but he hasn’t done anything particularly heroic. He kills people—lots of them. He’s a murderer and, if anything, an anti-hero. No actor but Vin Diesel could pull off this role. He brings in his trademark good humor, and his fans will enjoy the movie. Others will find it ponderous and joyless.

“Riddick” is a phony genre picture.

Genre pictures are meant to be entertaining,

but this one wants to be much more. I’m not exactly sure what Twohy wants it to be, but I found it to be masochistic fantasizing. It fuses “Pitch Black,” the first film in the franchise, with “Aliens.” The effects are good, and you can count on a video game. I felt that I sat through one long agonizing game where plot inconsistencies are part of the landscape.

At one point in the film, a young priest babbles out prayers while creatures attack.

“God had no place here,” Riddick says.

This is hell, baby. Not everyone may be up for the rough and tumble journey with laser eyes.

“R

iddick,” the third feature film collaboration between writer-director David Twohy and Vin Diesel, grips us in the masochistic cuffs of eternal damnation with the fire and brimstone spirit of Dante’s “Inferno.” Like a testosterone-spiked Virgil, Riddick (Vin Diesel) guides us through the various circles of movie hell with grunts, groans and witty one-liners. Abandon hope all ye who enter Riddick’s world.

The movie burns in sickly, yellowed tones of hostile alien life forms on a sunscorched planet. Dying vegetation scatters a barren landscape of cliffs, rocks and sand.

Bubbling pools of vile liquids emit thick vapors. Carnal malefactors, such as dingodog-hyenas and slippery serpentine scorpions hunt, chase and maul Riddick, the only human-esque form on the entire planet.

In a muddle of flashbacks, Twohy fortifies Riddick with a hero’s back story. Before becoming stranded on this cursed planet, Riddick reigned as the Lord Marshall of the Necromongers. He ruled from a thorny throne, but secretly longed for home. Riddick strikes a deal with Commander Vaako (Karl Urban). If Vaako takes Riddick to

Crow spoke Brown as his friends know him, with close friends DJ Young Venom and struggled through an incredible Garrad Lee, show promoter and former hardship—one that no amount of talent, Jackson Free Press columnist, and they dedication or hard work could overcome. Crow’s wife, Helena Walker Brown, was in desperate need of a heart transplant, which would cost the Brown family dearly in both finances and grief.

After she was added to a waiting list for a donor and multiple “false alarms,” Helena finally received a new heart in April 2013.

While their health insurance would cover most of the hospital stay, Crow and his wife were 7even Thirty will perform at the Blender, Volume still in dire straits due to the cost Four, Sept. 13. of traveling back and forth from the hospital in New Orleans and months of staying in hotel rooms, as Hel- quickly came up with a plan. ena Brown couldn’t stay in the hospital Enter Jackson’s genre-jumping conduring her recovery. cert series, the Blender, a series of shows Where some men would see a wall, that Lee originally put together with

Cody Cox of Furrows.

“What inspired the Blender was the idea to have a comprehensive music scene.

We have an incredible hip-hop scene and an incredible rock ‘n’ roll scene, and there were certain venues where these things happened,” Lee says. “With the first one, we just tried not to force it, and it felt very natural, like with the first time that James Crow was on stage with Furrows. There was no disconnect.”

One of the things that Lee most enjoys about the Blender series is the sense of community it brings to Jackson. “Each one has been very successful and builds upon the success of the previous one. These shows have become great for artist collaboration,” he says. “It’s all about helping to foster an energy and environment (that) can happen.”

Southern Komfort Brass Band. The dream team of rappers Vintage Noize Crew— which includes 7evenThirty, 5th Child, Jaxx City and James Crow—will also perform.

Other community members including local artists donated items for a silent auction and a raffle drawing.

The location was just as significant as choosing the musical acts, and Lee only had one venue in mind. “Soul (Stacey Winters, owner of Soul Wired Café) has been on me to do a show there, so when we decided to do this Blender show for Helena, I immediately knew we wanted it at Soul Wired,” he says. “Helping support her small business was incredibly important to everyone involved.”

The Blender, Volume Four, is Sept.

13 at Soul Wired Café (111 Millsaps Ave.) Doors open at 8 p.m., and the show starts at 9 p.m. All proceeds from the $5 cover charge go to help James Crow and Helena Brown.
