JACKSONIAN BRANDON BLACKLIDGE

O

ne fateful night, a college-age Brandon Blacklidge tasted his first craft beer—an admittedly cliché Sierra Nevada Pale Ale—and a love affair began. But he had no idea that his infatuation with quality beverages would inspire him and three friends to spearhead a craft-beer movement in his hometown of Jackson, Miss., years later.

Blacklidge, 29, calls craft beer his “labor of love,” working for a printing company by day and serving as Lucky Town Brewing Co.’s researcher and developer by night.

His Lucky Town duties include working closely with Brewmaster Lucas Simmons on brewing, recipe formulation and quality assurance. The University of Southern Mississippi graduate has a bachelor’s degree in American studies with an emphasis in political science and a background in computers and graphic design.

Blacklidge says that the growing craft-beer market was the missing puzzle piece to Jackson’s vibrant economy.

“There’s so much to do, such a wide variety—you’ve got food, entertainment. Everything that a person could want, you could find in Jackson,” he says. “I’d like to see it become more of the tourist hub it wants to be.”

Lucky Town Brewing Co. wants to be part of the transformation. What began with Blacklidge and Simmons brewing in their homes—before it was even legal—led to winning the Outlaw Homebrewing Compe-

tition at Keg and Barrel in Hattiesburg and will become a fully functional brewery in Midtown this summer.

The recent push for a creative economy has been instrumental in the business’s growth.

Lucky Town relies on the movement toward local products. “Especially with groups like Raise Your Pints that lobbied for a number of years trying to raise the alcohol cap and legalize home brewing, that whole movement has spawned a huge growth in not only Jackson, but the entire state,” Blacklidge says.

“Prior to those changes, there was only one brewery in the state. After those changes, we’ve gone from one to eight.”

Along the way, they added two other colleagues. First was Chip Jones, director of sales, marketing and distribution, who initially presented the idea of turning their hobby into a business. Special Events Coordinator Angela Blackburn joined the group later when she moved to Mississippi for a job.

She had gone to The Bulldog to have a drink when she spotted the guys. “We were the only guys drinking good beer and not wearing Affliction,” Blacklidge says.

When Blacklidge isn’t working, he likes to enjoy live music and travel, stopping at breweries along the way to sample their offerings.

Wherever he wanders, he always returns to Jackson. He has beer to brew and a hometown economy to support.

12 Abortion Clinics in the Balance

Mississippi may be a unique case when it comes to the legality of strict abortion regulations. The fact that it has only one abortion may be what keeps it open.

26 A Hopeful Solution

With the recent passing of “Harper Grace’s Law,” which allows marijuana to be used for research purposes at the University of Mississippi, children who suffer from medical issues such as Dravet’s Syndrome, a rare form of epilepsy, may finally receive the help they need.

29 That’s ‘Nunsense’

“I grew up Catholic so I was quite familiar with (that) angle of (‘Nunsense’), but it’s not at all intended for just a Catholic audience. I think that everyone can appreciate the humor of nuns.” —Tom Lestrade, “Five Nuns Walk Into a Bar…”

PUBLISHER’S note

by Todd Stauffer, Publisher

On Beer, Progress and Summer

T

his past Friday I stopped by McDade’s Market in Maywood after work (by which I mean “after dark”—I’d had an interesting week of Donna and me doing most of the bookkeeping for the JFP) and got a growler refill of one of my favorite pale ales; 64-ounces is a little over 5 bottles worth of beer, freshly poured from the cold tap and priced nicely.

With summer dawning, it’s time to head out to the farmers markets, roadside stands, local pubs, restaurants and, yes, locally owned groceries and co-ops. Now is a perfect time—and this is a perfect issue—to remind ourselves that of each $100 spent with a local business, $45 of it is returned to the local community; $100 spent at a chain generally means only $13 is returned to the local community.

Local business owners who do well invest in the local economy; they work with local banks and credit unions, they hire local accountants and attorneys, they put more money into local charities, local schools, and local real estate. They buy cars and trucks from local dealers. The list goes on and on.

Of course, you’ll find yourself in national businesses every once in a while— the only one I absolutely refuse to step foot in is Walmart/Sam’s Club, and that’s going on at least 15 years now. (There’s one exception—one time in Natchez about eight years ago when Donna had left me stranded in a hotel room to chase an old Klansman and I had to buy a frozen pizza from Walmart.) But every time we choose a local business—Barefield Workspace Solutions instead of Office Depot, McDade’s over Kroger, Montgomery Hardware over Home Depot—we’re making a choice to help enrich our local area and keep the money flowing in the local economy at least as well as the beer does these days.

A recent conversation turned to our

local dining economy, and I noted that, in Jackson, eating out has nearly become a “fine art” all its own. Wonderful restaurants keep upping the game in the metro area, with new flavors appearing all the time.

The 2014 JFP Chef Week (with the winners celebrated in this issue on Page 13) had

Every time we choose a local business, we’re making a choice to help enrich our local area.

26 participating chefs and head cooks, all with their own stories, backgrounds, charity choices—and all with a passion for what they’re doing.

It’s that passionate approach that makes the food good, the beer good (especially the local stuff, which we celebrate in this week’s annual JFP Taste-Off with Raise Your Pints) and the company so good—it’s the local folks who are working like crazy to make a difference in Jackson and surrounding communities so that the area continues to have an authentic sense of place.

How can you help? The best plan is just to try—shift some spending from chains to local places where possible, and think of every opportunity you can to “Go Local First” before you head out to a chain.

Is it more “convenient” to shop a superstore?

It might be—but you might also be enticed into buying stuff you don’t need. Give a try

to shopping a local place and see if you don’t enjoy the experience a little more.

Meanwhile, I mentioned “passion”—I need to call out some new names on the JFP masthead who had already exhibited a great deal of passion for the work they’re doing at the JFP, and who have moved into permanent or new spots because of it; our updated team is fully operational with this issue. This week, Amber Helsel takes the helm as assistant editor, moving to management over JFP and BOOM Jackson production and features. Amber started as an intern, was hired as editorial assistant and has consistently proven her worth, drive and dedication repeatedly, earning the promotion.

Taking Amber’s old assistant spot is Micah Smith, who already writes a music column for the JFP. Put it this way: He is already indispensible to all of us.

Haley Ferretti has lost the “interim” in front of her name and is now our city reporter, working closely with News Editor R.L. Nave and our newly hired investigative reporter Anna Wolfe; Haley managed to swim strongly when we threw her into the deep end during our recent surprise mayoral election, and she’s dug into some key city issues with strong reporting on her beat. Anna, a recent Mississippi State grad, joins the JFP from the Starkville Free Press (SFP), where she’s already made a name for herself with her in-depth reporting and ability to write long-form stories that tell the truth about difficult issues—from suicide to abortion.

Anna isn’t the only new addition— joining her from Misssisippi State is Carmen Cristo as our features writer; Carmen was also with the SFP, where she showed great talent in interviewing real people and writing their stories in compelling narratives.

She’s a trendsetter with terrific style and an avowed foodie, so she’ll work closely with

Amber on our fashion and food coverage, as well as write compelling features.

I also mentioned bookkeeping—this week Melanie Collins joins us as numbersperson-in-chief and already has her hands ink-stained with invoices, statements and credit-card vouchers. We’re extremely excited she’s here, and we look forward to our local business customers getting to know her well!

It wouldn’t be a Donna Ladd Production without summer interns—we’ve got a gaggle of them gathered around the big table, interviewing, filing stories, attending workshops, packing into meetings at City Hall and the Old Capitol. This is a talented lot from a multitude of schools, from Mississippi State, Ole Miss to Alcorn State, Murrah High School and Jackson Prep, St. Andrew’s and St. Joe’s. There are at least two school editors-in-chief among the lot. The JFP’s new space has never felt more collaborative than with this “new” team in place— not to mention a group of teen Girl Scouts who start this week, helping with Donna’s latest youth media project plan. Stay tuned.

We’re also thrilled for Operations Manager David Joseph who is starting a new restaurant management gig this week—we’ll let him tell you where—but is staying on Team JFP as our operations consultant and cheerleader-in-chief. We also wish departing features editor Kathleen Mitchell and bookkeeper Aprile Smith great success as they move to new positions. We appreciate their work here.

So be sure to put all these great folks on your summer reading list by picking up the JFP each week, checking us out at jfp.ms on desktop or mobile, or subscribe to the JFP at Issuu.com/jacksonfreepress. And, as always, remember to Shop Local!

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

A Response to “The Stigma of Mental Health� by Amber Helsel

T

his was a timely article. Mental illness is no more a character flaw than a broken leg is. Public awareness of mental health services can be promoted through informational programs in churches and schools.

EMTs and police may benefit from enhanced training to recognize mental illness symptoms when they answer calls. Community mental health services can be publicized with brochures placed in shopping centers, stores and beauty parlors.

One-fifth of our population suffers from some form of mental illness. They don’t need to suffer alone. A mind is indeed a terrible thing to waste, but so is a family and its posterity.

ace. Color. Religion. National origin. Sex. Age. Marital, familial and veteran’s status. Disability. Source of income. Gender identification and expression. Sexual orientation. The city of Jackson officially affirms “the inherent worth� of ever person, thanks to action from the city council this week.

The Jackson City Council, before a packed audience, members voted 3-1 in favor of the resolution. Ward 3 Councilwoman LaRita Cooper-Stokes was the lone dissenting vote, but did not speak against the measure. Ward 1 Councilman Quentin Whitwell and Ward 4 Councilman De’Keither Stamps were absent.

The sponsors of the resolution—the eighth in a series passed in cities around the state—were Ward 5 Councilman Charles Tillman, a council veteran who also acts as president, and Melvin Priester Jr., of Ward 2, one of the younger councilmen, who serves as vice president.

Tillman said he was “honored� to coauthor the resolution because elected officials should ensure that they behave as “our brothers’ keepers.� Priester said he believed it was important for Jackson to pass a resolution because “discrimination against one person is discrimination against all of us.� “I know there is more good in Jackson than bad. I want to make sure when the history books are written there was no question where the City of Jackson

was,� Priester, a local attorney, added.

The issue came to the fore recently as a so-called “religious freedom� bill in the Legislature, SB 2681, created fervent backlash from civil-rights groups, as well as local businesses, who worry that the measure would open the door to discrimination against certain groups, including the LGBT community. In response, the Human Rights Campaign launched a statewide initiative to promote LGBT equality, and several cities around the state passed non-binding resolutions supporting LGBT rights.

Locally, these events took place against the backdrop of the Jackson mayor’s race, in which three sitting council members sought the seat vacated with the

death of human-rights activist and attorney Chokwe Lumumba.

One of the top questions asked at debates and forums during the recent special election for mayor was if the candidates would support an LGBT resolution for the city of Jackson. Priester, who ran for mayor, said during his campaign that he opposed discrimination of any kind. He also said he was working to create a human-rights commission that would help protect a variety of people. “I am opposed to discrimination, whether it’s against black people, whether it’s against women, whether it’s against gay or lesbian or transgendered people,� Priester said at the time.

Jenni Smith, Unity vice chair and co-founder, called the resolution a “remarkable first step in the movement to establish full equality under the law for the people of Jackson.�

She added: “We, as a community and as an organization, strongly encourage the Council to continue this important work by now considering and passing into law an ordinance that codifies the sentiment declared in this resolution.�

Mississippi NAACP President Derrick Johnson also spoke for the resolution.

t about 11 p.m. on the evening of May 20, Tolu Olorunda was walking back to his west Jackson residence from a late dinner when a Jackson police officer stopped him and started asking questions. Olorunda said the officer asked for his name and address, which he was hesitant to provide.

The officer said there had been a “rash of robberies� in the neighborhood and that Jackson Police Department policy requires officers to stop people in crime hotspots.

When Olorunda continued to question the officer about his motive for making the stop, he said the officer also made put him put his hands on the hood of the police cruiser and searched Olorunda’s pockets.

Olorunda, a Jackson State University graduate student who came to Mississippi earlier this year to do community organizing work with late Mayor Chokwe Lumumba, said he’d walked the same neighborhood for months with no problems. “I don’t think it’s right to stop me just for walking,� Olorunda, 24, told the Jackson Free Press about the incident.

Although the stop could be dismissed as an isolated incident or even as justified if the neighborhood is indeed experiencing a crime wave, the incident could represent a new era of heavy-handed policing in the

Ward 7 Councilwoman Margaret Barrett-Simon stood out from the rest of the candidates with her strong opposition to SB 2681, which many fear will allow discrimination of LGBT Mississippians, and support of an LGBT protective ordinance.

At this week’s council meeting, she said she planned to sponsor a resolution but wanted to wait until the Ward 6 seat, vacated upon the election of Mayor Tony Yarber, was filled.

Yarber said early on in his campaign that he did not believe a resolution was the solution to anti-LGBT discrimination; however, near the end of his campaign, he said that he supported human rights for all human beings, leading some to wonder if his opinion about a resolution could change.

gusted” by the spate of homicides that has Jackson reeling and looking for solutions.

One solution Yarber has floated includes creating a special unit for narcotics, which he said is at the root of most violent crime in Jackson. Yarber said citizens could also expect to see more of JPD “policing the little things.”

Oversight for the strategy would fall to Marshand Crisler, deputy chief administrative officer and public-safety commissioner, who now coordinates public-safety divisions, include JPD and the Jackson Fire Department.

A similar tactic was implemented in New York City under Mayor Rudolph Giuliani and his police commissioner, William

Bratton. Bratton, who left the NYPD to become chief of the Los Angeles Police Department, is a self-described adherent of the “broken windows” theory of policing.

“My objective as commissioner was to focus on improving life in NYC by focusing on all details of crime, from graffiti to the high rate of murder, methodically using data and statistics to track patterns and to place police where they could be most effective,” Bratton writes on his own LinkedIn profile.

The rationale of focusing on petty crimes is that people are less likely to commit violent crimes if they know something as simple as jaywalking could attract the attention of the cops.

An outgrowth of NYC’s quality-oflife campaign, which New York Times magazine writer James Traub described in 2001 as designed to make New York “fit

for corporate habitation” was the NYPD’s stop-and-frisk policy. Stop-and-frisk involves officers stopping people ostensibly at random and searching them from weapons and other contraband.

Also used in Detroit, the policy was heavily panned as a means of racial profiling and eventually drew a lawsuit from civil-liberties groups who said blacks and Latinos were being stopped and frisked with greater frequency than whites. It also led to several shootings of innocent search targets by jittery police officers.

JPD Assistant Chief Lee Vance was unfamiliar with the incident involving Tolu Olorunda, but said although stop-and-frisk may employed under certain circumstances, it is not being used as a blanket strategy in response to the homicides.

Rather, Vance said the police depart-

ment will allow officers to work overtime so that the patrol division can increase visibility in areas where shootings have taken place.

“Mayor Yarber and Chief (Lindsey) Horton have allowed us to use an extra bit of overtime to have extra visibility in these neighborhoods for safety reasons,” Vance said.

“I think it’s commendable,” Vance said.

“We are going to be as fiscally responsible as we can be with the use of that extra overtime, but at the same time, to me, it is a clear illustration to me that this mayor and this chief are putting safety over finance, which is something I admire. “ Olorunda is also being cautious. Because he does not own a car, he moved out of state for the summer partly to avoid further run-ins with JPD, he said.

The businesses involved spread their funds and knowledge to help students explore different fields through interactional experiences, especially at the Career Exploration Fair and through the freshman academies. Pharr said the response from business regarding Alignment Jackson has been positive so far.

JPS ninth graders will begin “academies” during the fall. The learning communities will be comprised of students with similar interests in concentrations such as law, business, communication and finance.

Businesses can help the academies through donating money, equipment and time including tutoring opportunities.

Alignment Jackson is also involved in literacy initiatives for elementary students during the summer using community resources such as publicity promoting literacy throughout the city, parent workshops that provide instruction for how to teach children to read and how read with children, book donations and community and corporate volunteer hosted family literacy events.

Robert Lesley, public affairs director for Atmos Energy, said it makes good business sense to join with Alignment Jackson because the program will better educate students and improve the school district, which will help attract families to Jackson.

Museum in downtown Jackson. The first in the new Medgar Wiley Evers Lecture Series coincided with the opening of “Stand Up!: Mississippi Freedom Summer of 1964,” which will be housed in the William F. Winter Archives and History Building. Moses spoke in the old House of Representatives Chamber of the Old Capitol—where Mississippi voted to secede from the union in support of slavery on Jan. 9, 1861.

During the lecture, Moses, 79, led the diverse audience through a short history of black disenfranchisement in the United States and what he called a partial evolution of just who qualified in the U.S. as a “constitutional citizen.” His timeline began with the Constitutional Convention in 1787 and ended with the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s. Along the way, Moses compared the “guerilla struggle” he and other civilrights leaders shared from gaining rights for black voters in the 1960s to the mission of The Algebra Project, a nonprofit group he

the key to doing better in the future is education.”

Based in the state’s most populous city and the largest urban school district, the effects of Alignment Jackson could ripple throughout Mississippi, which has a chronically underfunded and low-performing public-education system that makes some businesses think twice before investing here.

we didn’t get it out of education.”

Moses spoke of white Democrats fighting to keep slavery and then Jim Crow in place, especially in the South, and when Republicans, then black, were “annihilated” when they tried to serve public office and bring equality to non-whites after the Civil War. Their efforts ended in Reconstruction and a compromise that allowed white Dems to force segregation until the 1960s—when Fannie Lou Hamer and the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party pressured Democrats at their national convention to reject Dixiecrat ways and embrace federal civil-rights and voting-rights legislation. (That political shift also resulted in a Republican shift into a mostly white party that opposes equality legislation such as the Voting Rights Act.) Hamer, he said, was “incapable of being inauthentic … she spoke from the whole history, not just of herself but the state she loved so much.”

Moses also pointed out the irony of un-

Alignment Jackson might also curb the brain drain that has long plagued the state’s economy—with bright young people leaving. “(W)e have so many educated people here in the state. However, at the time when they graduate, they’ll leave the state for other job opportunities,” Garrett said.

She said that Garrett ECI is helping organize Alignment Jackson’s Career Exploration Fair, which will be in the fall and expose ninth graders to options for continued education and careers.

Garrett said the fair will be interactive and hands-on, and she hopes this will increase their interest in higher education while

derfunding and restricting access of African Americans to a quality education for years— and then trying to use illiteracy as a way to keep them from voting and participating in the political process.

“When we began, white male property owners were the constitutional people.

Do young people deserve constitutional status—for purposes of their education?” he said, adding, “How (do we) get young children to demand their education—that everyone says they don’t want?”

“Young people who are 10 to 40 years old now, 30 years from now will be running the country,” Moses added, directing his message to a new generation of change makers in America. “You can think that, ‘I am a part of this We-the-people; I take personal responsibility for constitutional personhood.’”

Dr. Leslie Burl McLemore, a civil-rights veteran, founding director of the Fannie Lou Hamer National Institute on Citizenship and Democracy and a former Jackson councilman, introduced Moses. “All of these people changed my life,” McLemore said, speaking of Moses and other prominent veterans, such as Jackson NAACP leader Medgar Evers and SNCC founder Ella Baker.

Byron de la Beckwith Jr., son of the man eventually convicted of the murder of Medgar Evers at his home in Jackson in 1963, sat on the second row listening to Moses speak. “(I am here) for the knowledge and to learn,” Beckwith said after the event.

“I got so much information. I am not disputing anything (Moses) said, but I couldn’t hear all of it—my hearing is bad.” Beckwith was the subject of a recent documentary by Canadian filmmaker Paul Saltzman called “The Last White Knight.”

The “Stand Up!: Mississippi Freedom Summer of 1964” exhibit is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on Saturday from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. until November. It is free to the public.

giving them a taste of different careers while still in high school. Johnson said the Jackson Convention Complex will host the fair.

Johnson said he thinks collaboration in the community will transform the schools and contribute to student success beyond education.

Helping education is a moral imperative for the greater good, Johnson said. “It’s the citizenship piece of ‘I’m a good citizen if I don’t create a mess. I’m a good citizen if I love my neighbor. You know, make the world that much of a better place for somebody else,’” he said.

Miss. a Unique Legal Test for Abortion Regs

by Anna Wolfe

T

he fate of abortion clinics in four southern states falls in the hands of federal appeals courts that are currently hearing cases and deciding on the constitutionality of laws that increase requirements for abortion providers.

In Mississippi, the law threatens to close the last standing clinic, effectively banning abortion in the state, making it unique among the laws now under consideration in two federal appellate courts.

The tactic of requiring admitting privileges, pushed by anti-abortion activists with the intent to abolish abortion, has moved throughout the southeast region of the country, from Texas to Mississippi, Alabama and, most recently, Louisiana. In each case, the state Legislature has passed laws requiring abortion providers to gain

decisions on abortion rights expansively.

Those combinations of factors tell me that the people challenging the law, while I think their challenges may have a lot of merit, may ultimately face an uphill battle,” Steffey said.

Jackson Women’s Health Organization, Mississippi’s only abortion clinic, has been unable to meet the admitting privileges standards.

In 2012, the clinic was rejected at seven local hospitals. University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson said they only accepted patients from physicians who are employed faculty at the teaching hospital. Officials at Baptist Medical Center, also in Jackson, refused to even send JWHO an application for admitting privileges. Five other hospiTRIP BURNS

Dr. Freda Bush, an OB-GYN in Flowood who is strongly against abortion rights, believes admitting privileges are medically necessary. Without those privileges, patients may have to be seen by a doctor who unfamiliar with their medical history, she said.

admitting privileges to nearby hospitals— privileges that, in many cases, can be difficult to acquire.

The U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals already upheld a Texas admitting-privileges law that closed virtually half the abortion clinics in that state. The same court will decide the fate of a similar law in Mississippi that would shut off access to abortion in the state, even though it’s been protected as a constitutional right since the 1973 Roe v.

Wade decision.

Matt Steffey, Mississippi College law professor, said arguments regarding abortion can be especially hard to make in the 5th Circuit in New Orleans.

“The 5th Circuit is perhaps the most conservative circuit in the country. It’s disinclined to read the U.S. Supreme Court’s

tals owned by Naples, Fla.-based Health Management Associates Inc. cited potential for “internal and external disruption of the hospital’s function and business within this community” as reason for rejecting JWHO’s applications.

Diane Derzis, JWHO’s owner, believes another reason is because her clinic does not perform enough abortions— 2,104 in 2013—to make granting privileges worth it for the hospitals.

To obtain those privileges, JWHO would have to perform more abortions and have more complications, Derzis said.

This is because and admitting privilege constitutes a financial relationship between a clinic and a hospital—the clinic must provide patients to the hospital.

Diane Derzis, JWHO operator, said

the clinic’s inability to meet hospital standards for admitting privileges, which is a higher requirement than most physicians must meet, was not cited as the reason the hospitals denied the clinic privileges.

“Each of the responses of those hospitals had nothing to do with my doctors.

Each one said they were not in the abortion business,” Derzis said.

JWHO has a backup doctor with admitting privileges, as well as a transfer agreement with a local hospital, both which ensure the safety of the clinic’s patients. “We have jumped through every hoop the legislature has passed, even when it was ridiculous,” Derzis said.

The requirement is more of an attack on the lone clinic after a string of attempts to close it with other regulations including classification of the clinic as a surgery center. “It’s just a constant battle with them, and anything we meet, they think up something else,” Derzis said.

Freda Bush, a Flowood OB-GYN who hopes to see abortion ended in the U.S., believes the purpose of admitting privileges requirements is for women’s health and safety.

“It is expected that if you do enough surgeries that complications will occur,” Bush said. Without hospital admitting privileges, Bush said, the patient is left to go to an emergency room or hospital to be cared by someone who may not know what her medical situation is and what injuries occurred.

“The doctor is putting that patient at risk by not being able to follow through with her care,” Bush said.

Admitting privileges allow the surgeon to remain responsible for the patients care from beginning to end, improving communication between physicians and ensuring the patient gets the care she needs.

“The way the system is now, they (surgeons) don’t take responsibility beyond the procedure they do in the office. That’s irresponsible, and it is not appropriate for the woman who has entrusted them with her care,” Bush said.

Bush said that hospitals adhere to national standards when granting admitting privileges, but she does not know why JWHO has been unable to receive them.

This is likely because the clinic is not being denied privileges because of unmet standards, but because hospitals do not consider abortion aligned with their political ideology.

Gov. Phil Bryant has made it clear that his goal is to shut down the abortion clinic, which, according to Steffey, could make the “so-called health measures” unconstitutional. Steffey said the 5th Circuit could rule in

favor of JWHO if the judges thought shutting down the last clinic “goes too far.”

“Whether that will persuade the court or not, we’ll have to wait and see,” Steffey said. “If these matters were cut and dry, we wouldn’t constantly be bouncing in and out of federal court.”

Jonathan Will, a Mississippi College associate professor of law who specializes in health-care law, said the law could be struck down for two reasons: because the law places an “undue burden” on women, or because the law’s purpose is to create obstacles for women trying to receive an abortion. In the Texas case, the law was found to have the legitimate purpose of ensuring women’s health, and was not ruled as creating an undue burden because other clinics in the state would remain open.

These two tests of constitutionality were established in Planned Parenthood v. Casey, a case that addressed abortion restriction laws. Besides the possibility that closing the last Mississippi abortion clinic could be ruled as an undue burden for women, Will said the court could strike down the law under the “rational basis review,” which determines if the law has a legitimate purpose, because public figures including the governor have admitted that the goal of the law is to close the clinic.

Will addresses a domino effect that could occur if surrounding southern states pass and the court upholds similar laws that would eventually create undue burden, but Steffey does not believe a domino effect will have that outcome. Instead, he said, the ramifications of these restrictive laws affect the same group of people no matter what state in which they occur: the poor.

For members of Mississippi’s Legislature, as Steffey points out, the cost of an abortion would be a plane ticket to another state or country, for that matter—a cost the well-to-do can afford. “What we’re really talking about here is restricting access for abortion for poor people,” Steffey said.

The fact that legislators and other wealthy anti-abortion activists have the means to travel out of state is only the first hypocrisy in attempted abortion bans, he added.

“The second hypocrisy is that the very people who would ban abortion are also especially unlikely to provide help to the poor women—health care, food, and the like— who will now, as a matter of fact, be required to carry the baby to term,” Steffey said.

If the appeals court upholds the law, Derzis plans to take the case to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Why it stinks: Pollutants that coal-fired power plants emit include: hydrogen chloride, hydrogen fluoride, benzene, formaldehyde, lead, arsenic and mercury, radium and uranium. Health researchers have determined that these toxic chemicals can exacerbate asthma, pulmonary disease and bronchitis.

The pollutants can also lead to heart attacks, strokes, various cancers and birth defects. Rep. Rahallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own state is one of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heaviest coal producers and consistently ranks at the bottom of national health rankings.

Now whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wreaking havoc on whom?

Under Tougher Policing, Know Your Rights

T

he Jackson Police Department and office of Mayor Tony Yarber are making no bones about the fact that the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s posture toward fighting crime will be increased police visibility, more police contact and, subsequently, more citations and arrests. The goal, it seems, is clear: Make people worry enough about running afoul of the law, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll think twice about dealing drugs or walking around with goals.

Around the country, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen several cities employ similar methods. In New York City, the police force of Republican Mayor Rudy Giuliani stressed â&#x20AC;&#x153;quality of lifeâ&#x20AC;? policingâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;coming down hard on people for committing little crimes like littering and jaywalking.

That led the NYPD and other big cities to reason that stopping, questioning and sometimes patting down people in supposed high-crime areas, would also deter crime. Whether those programs have been successful depends on who you ask and their philosophy on the role of police.

Some experts credit stop-and-frisk with a marked decline in major crime in New York City.

Others, who understand that desperate people with limited employment prospects are most likely to participate in crime, say it was an improved economy that helped lower the crime rate. Adding more doubt to the practice, similar crime drops occurred in cities that didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use the policy.

Still, others point to the disparate impact of stop-and-frisk on young men of colorâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;emblematic of a form of discrimination that the U.S. Constitution prohibitsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;as the most worrisome part of

the policy. Those worries are still being sorted out by the courts, and may wind up before the U.S. Supreme Court before long.

In the meantime, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s apparent that citizens of Jackson will be stopped and questioned with more frequency and see more police roadblocks around town. But citizens still have rights.

Here are some things people should know in case they encounter law enforcement, from the American Civil Liberties Union. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;You have the right to remain silent. If you wish to exercise that right, say so out loud. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;You have the right to refuse to consent to a search of yourself, your car or your home. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;If you are not under arrest, you have the right to calmly leave. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;You have the right to a lawyer if you are arrested. Ask for one immediately. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Regardless of your immigration or citizenship status, you have constitutional rights.

The ACLU also stresses that individuals should remain calm and polite, be truthful and not interfere with police activities. When stopped, people can ask if they are free to leave and, if so, they should walk away calmly.

If the police arrest you, you have a right to know why. Although you are not required to consent to a search, an officer may pat you down if they suspect a weapon. Even then, you have the right to refuse any further searches.

XFORD—Haley Barbour’s “Port of the Future” has taken another hit. Chiquita, known as the United Fruit Company before that name became synonymous with political bullying and corruption in Latin America, announced recently that it was moving its operation at the Port of Gulfport to New Orleans.

This was sad news indeed to the scores of International Longshoremen’s Association members who worked for Chiquita in Gulfport and accounted for one-third of the work hours by unionized longshoremen at the port in 2013. Within days, port officials announced that the Houston, Texas-based piping and energy services company McDermott Inc. would be moving operations to Gulfport and bringing as many as 100 non-union jobs with it. Still, losing Chiquita was a bitter pill. Chiquita’s 635,000 tons of shipped cargo in 2013 was 30.5 percent of the total tonnage shipped through Gulfport that year.

The Port of Gulfport was to be a shining star in the constellation of Haley Barbour’s accomplishments as governor. Now back to his old job as a high-powered lobbyist in Washington, Barbour negotiated the redirection of $570 million in federal funds to the port’s expansion and away from their original purpose: the building of affordable housing in the Hurricane Katrina-ravaged Gulf Coast. The funding was in addition to $90 million the port expected in insurance payments for damage repair.

An outcry from advocacy groups and a lawsuit by the Mississippi Center for Justice and the NAACP failed to deter Barbour, who claimed the “Port of the Future” would create as many as 6,000 jobs. U.S. Sen. Thad Cochran, R-Miss., even bought into Barbour’s vision and helped get federal approval of the diversion. Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant later did his part by signing a bill limiting state oversight of how the money would be spent. In the world of Republican politics, the best and only real use for taxpayer money is corporate welfare. Barbour envisioned a world-class port for tenants like Chiquita and the Dole Food Company, as well as for the new casinos and hotels that would be built nearby.

Yet the rebuilding has proceeded at a desultory pace, while the Port of Gulfport has lost its once-crucial chicken-exporting business to neighboring ports and now Chiquita, one of its most important tenants.

No one talks any more about 6,000 jobs.

The promise has been trimmed down to

1,300 jobs, and even that may be pie in the sky.

Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal was so determined to get Chiquita that he offered a $15.5 million taxpayer-funded incentives package to lure it from Gulfport, where the company had been operating for 40 years.

Chiquita must be lapping up all the love. This is a company used to enjoying taxpayers’ largesse. The city of Charlotte, N.C., spent $23 million to get Chiquita to move its headquarters from Cincinnati to Charlotte in 2011. Chiquita now plans to merge with the Irish firm Fyffes, and the new ChiquitaFyffes company’s headquarters will be abroad in Dublin. Chiquita says some operations will stay in Charlotte, but its promise of a high-paid workforce of 400-plus there may be a pipe dream.

Few major corporations have a darker history than Chiquita. In 2007, the company agreed to pay a $25 million fine as penalty for dealing with terrorists in Colombia. Chiquita paid an estimated $1.7 million in protection money between 1997 and 2004 to the United Self-Defense Forces, also known as the A.U.C., a paramilitary group designated by the U.S. State Department as a Colombian terrorist group that targeted unions, workers and civilians.

Chiquita and the Dole Food Company, another Gulfport tenant, were involved in an international scandal as a result of their use of the dangerous chemical pesticide nemagon on their plantations in Central America even after the chemical was determined to be dangerous and potentially cause sterility and other health problems. The Dole Food Company, which has signed a lease to stay in Gulfport at least through 2017, continued to use nemagon in Central America even after it was banned in the United States.

Dole Food Company founder and owner David Murdock’s personal history makes him a perfect fit for his company.

When the billionaire sold textile giant Cannon Mills in Kannapolis, N.C., to Fieldcrest Mills in 1986, he returned to his home in California with millions of dollars in pension funds from Cannon Mills workers.

It took a lawsuit and legal battle with the Amalgamated Clothing and Textile Workers Union of America to force Murdock into an out-of-court settlement to return $1 million of the funds. Murdock had spent an estimated $37 of the $102 million pension fund to finance another company takeover.

riving to Canada to attend an experimental music festival with a guy who looks like a drug dealer will teach you a thing or two.

First, at the border, don’t let your companion say the two of you are going to a music festival in Victoriaville, Quebec; the border police will not believe him. Second, if you give them the festival director’s phone number, they will call to confirm your attendance after which they will search your car. Finally, and most importantly, when you arrive at the festival—hungry, tired and exasperated because the throat-singing woman from Tuva sounds like an amplified kazoo—at least you will be met with delicious beer to make it all better.

In 1995, the year I attended the Festival de Musique Actuelle, it was still illegal in the U.S. to list alcohol content on beer labels. Most of the beer I’d enjoyed up until that time had an ABV of around 4 to 5 percent. I lived in New York state, so Canadian beer was widely available, but you had to cross the border to find beer higher than 6 percent. I’d heard tell of the mysterious, boozy, draughts from the North but had never gone to Canada for more than sightseeing at Niagara Falls. Some of my adventurous friends had risked problems at the border by smuggling six-packs of

Cooking sausage in liquid that’s part beer deepens the flavors and makes for a perfect food-drink pairing.

My brother-in-law, David, provided me with this recipe. He is an incredible cook and griller and, yearly, helps cook sausages for the autumn Germanfest at his church in Gluckstadt.

Parboil one pound raw sausages in liquid—a half beer and half water mixture—until skin tightens, about 20 minutes. Be careful not to boil on high—keep temperature to a low boil.

Transfer sausages to a grill on indirect heat, turning once, and cook until a thermometer inserted reads 160 degrees Fahrenheit (about 20 minutes).

Meanwhile, on the stovetop, sauté one medium sliced onion in the olive oil for five minutes. Add sliced green bell pepper and sauté for three minutes. Add the fennel seeds, one crushed garlic clove and a splash of beer. Cover a cook for another two minutes.

Top pepper and onion mixture with the grilled sausages. You can also make it a sandwich by placing the ingredients inside heated rolls.

he favorite smartphone app of many a beer aficionado, Untappd is useful for logging the beers you try, finding out more detail about them and seeing what your friends are drinking. Craig Hendry, Raise Your Pints president, says the app has its own social-media world, and Jackson has a big presence on Untappd. If you allow it to see your location, Untappd will also show you popular venues and highly ranked beers nearby.

Another useful app is called BJCP Styles. BJCP stands for Beer Judge Certification Program, and the app is helpful for learning about a beer style or a particular brew’s defining details while you sip.

hen putting together suggestions of food and beer pairings, I decided to go with seasonal beers, specifically those best for warm weather. Truth be told, I am only an occasional beer drinker, so I was pleasantly surprised to learn so much about the different styles and tastes available.

The first beer I chose is a hefeweizen (pronounced “HEH-feh-vite-zehn”). It is a topfermented, light-colored beer with very low hop bitterness due to the fact it is a mix of barley malt and wheat (usually 50 percent each, although some can be 70 percent wheat). This produces a crisp, sweet, fruity but full-bodied beer.

The hefeweizen that I chose to sample—Magic Hat Brewery’s Circus Boy Hefeweizen—is an American-style beer—refreshing, light and non-cloudy. Circus Boy is brewed with a note of organic lemon grass. Any wheat beer of your preference would work with this menu—pair it with grilled sausages served on a bed of onions and sweet peppers.

Hard cider is also a happy revelation for me, and I discovered that Woodchuck Hard Cider has a variety of summer brews. For a food pairing, I gravitated toward their Pear and Raspberry Ciders. Serve these, or a similar cider of your choice, with a roast chicken, topped with a matching fruit salsa or chutney.

These recipes make for easy-to-prepare warm-weather fare. The simplicity of the dishes and crispness of the beers make even a weekday night’s cooking easy, special and bright.

onnaise and mustard, or even ranch dressing and mustard to taste, and season with paprika. If you choose flavors like these, I suggest going local—Lazy Magnolia is a Mississippi brewery based out of Kiln, and it brews a Southern Pecan beer. The saying “if it grows together it goes together” is just as true for beer-food pairings as it is

choice. Kristallweizens are filtered versions of hefeweizens. They have a bit less body, but similar fruity and spicy notes, and will complement vegan snacks well.

eing a vegetarian or vegan means you have to get accustomed to all kinds of awkward situations.

It doesn’t have to be complicated, though. The truth is that some meals people prepare are already vegetarian to begin with, and meat eaters hardly ever notice. But during a potluck, barbecue or gathering, you often have make that you eat—especially if beer or other alcohols are involved. When in social situations with carnivores, I try to take delicious vegetarian snacks that I can eat and share with friends.

Here are some quick vegetarian and vegan snacks that pair great with beer.

Pale lagers are very popular in the spring and summer. They’re refreshing, light, and appropriate for the weather. If you’re vegan, and you know you’re going to a party, or are hosting one yourself, you can make a killer guacamole—all you need are avocados, tomatoes, onions, lime and salt. You just have to put everything in a bowl and crush it, but you’ll get the best results if you use a mortar and pestle.

Add jalapeños if you’d like, some tortilla chips, or some kale chips if you want to be adventurous, and voilá! Now all you have to do is take some pale lager along, and perhaps some lime and salt as garnishes for your beer, and you have a perfect appetizer for any get-together.

But what if you’re attending an indoor event where traditional southern foods are being served? Contrary to what people may believe, you can make vegetarian versions of your favorite southern foods. Some things, such as deep fried okra or macaroni and cheese are already vegetarian. Deviled eggs aren’t strictly southern, but they are popular and easy to make. Just hard-boil eggs, separate the yolks and mix them with may-

Homemade guacamole is a crowd-friendly but vegetarian option that goes great with your beer-fueled summer cookouts.

for other gastronomic food combinations.

I can’t think of any other beer in the world that uses pecans to flavor its beer.

If you prefer to try something else, hefeweizens are another good choice. They’re light in color, but full-bodied, with fruity notes. Many popular German dishes are heavy, just like southern food, so I find hefeweizens pair well with vegetarian versions of southern dishes. If you’re vegan, perhaps a kristallweizen would be a better

you can expect to eat a picada and can make a quick version using cherry tomatoes, bocconcini cheese, marinated artichokes, green olives, hearts of palm and pickled eggplants. There are no rules for what kind of beer goes with these snacks.

Though it may seem weird to your friends that you eat such healthy things while you drink, people will appreciate your efforts to share a few recipes and snack ideas with them.

arper Grace Durval was 6 months old when her parents saw her first seizure. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She was in the bed with us,â&#x20AC;? said Ashley Durval, Harperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not sure if it was her babyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first seizure. â&#x20AC;&#x153;God knows how long she was seizing before we woke up.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a terrifying thing.â&#x20AC;?

That was 18 months ago. Harper, now 2, has a rare form of epilepsy, Dravet Syndrome. Her daily grand mal seizures include unconsciousness, severe muscle contractions, and loss of bladder and bowel control. The seizures can also cause brain damage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very severe,â&#x20AC;? Ashley says of Harperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seizures. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They last two to three hours at a time (and are) very hard to control.â&#x20AC;?

Harperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doctors have resuscitated her to keep her alive, and the toddler takes five medications twice a day. But the seizures continue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For her age, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not really any more medications that we can do,â&#x20AC;? Ashley says, and the medicines also take a toll. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She has speech delay. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very temperamental, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s restless, has insomnia.â&#x20AC;?

One morning, during one of Harperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s many emergency-room visits, Ashley saw a CNN segment about cannabidiol, or CBD, derived from marijuana. CBD, which can be ingested in a liquid form, contains almost no THC, the ingredient that gets pot-smokers high.

The story featured Charlotte Figi and her mom, Paige.

Charlotte also has Dravet Syndrome, and had suffered 300 seizures a week, sometimes 60 a day. She had â&#x20AC;&#x153;significant cognitive and motor delays, brain damage, a surgically-placed feeding tube for water and food, struggles to talk and walk, and needs full care in all areas of life,â&#x20AC;? Paige wrote on the Realm of Caring website. The Colorado Springs-based nonprofit was â&#x20AC;&#x153;formed to provide a better quality of lifeâ&#x20AC;? with CBD for Coloradoans â&#x20AC;&#x153;affected by various debilitating conditions,â&#x20AC;? the website says.

Anecdotal evidence of CBDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s benefits is widespread. The scientific research is thinner, but studies have shown the oil to alleviate chronic pain, psychotic behavior, depression, nausea, and diabetic symptoms, in addition to epilepsy and other ailments.

For Charlotte, CBD reduced her seizures to one per week. She is eating on her own again, sleeping soundly and even riding horses. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She is clearheaded, focused, has no attention deficit,â&#x20AC;? Paige continues. â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;Ś Her brain is healing.â&#x20AC;?

Ashley contacted Paige, who told her to move to Colorado, where CBD is legal.

That wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a viable option for Ashley. She told Harperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s godmother, Jennifer Beard, about CBD, and Beard took action. She called Josh Harkins, a former classmate and a state senator for Dis-

But that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t listen to music at all. Here are some of my favorite songs to listen to when Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m fencing.

Beard wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really joking. She urged Harkins to watch â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weed,â&#x20AC;? a documentary featuring CNNâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Chief Medical Correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta, about the many uses of marijuana and the medical applications for CBD.

Cannabidiol, derived from the cannabis plant, may help with diseases such as Dravet Syndrome, a rare form of epilepsy.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I listened and watched and started asking questions,â&#x20AC;?

Harkins says.

He reached out to the University of Mississippiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s National Center for Natural Products Research. Since 1968, the center has studied marijuana as the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only federally sanctioned marijuana grower. Harkins consulted the Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics, and he spoke with Paige Figi. What he learned led him to sponsor a bill to legalize CBD. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got kids, and if it were one of my daughters that was having this problem, I would go to the ends of the earth to do whatever I could do to help treat them,â&#x20AC;? Harkins says.

Nervous that he would get resistance to the bill, he approached Sen. Phillip Gandy, a Baptist pastor and a fellow Republican from Hickory. His response was unexpected. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Josh, this is a great bill,â&#x20AC;? Gandy told him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to do this.â&#x20AC;?

The bill moved rapidly through the Legislature, with only six lawmakers voting against it. On April 17, Gov. Phil Bryant signed â&#x20AC;&#x153;Harper Graceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Law.â&#x20AC;?

The law decriminalizes marijuana for research purposes at Ole Miss, making Mississippi the 23rd state to do so. The university also requires approvals from the federal National Institutes of Drug Abuse and the Drug Enforcement Agency.

Harper Grace is about a year away from getting CBD. It will take that long to complete the growing and research. But Ashley 5. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Shut Up and Let Me Goâ&#x20AC;? by The and the many parents of epileptic children Ting Tings in Mississippi now have hope, even though 6. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Go!â&#x20AC;? by Santigold Harper may get worse, or CBD may not work for her.

Five Nuns Walk into a Bar …

by ShaWanda Jacome

COURTESY BLACK ROSE THEATRE

F

rom Sally Field as the “Flying Nun” to Whoopi Goldberg in the “Sister Act” franchise, nuns hold a special place in our collective hearts.

Black Rose Theatre will tap into that place with its production of “Nunsense” this summer.

The show, created by Dan Goggin, started off as a series of quirky tongue-and-cheek greeting cards that featured nuns doing silly things. After they became popular, Goggin wrote the two-act play, and it has been running since 1985.

The play takes place in New Jersey at the convent of the Little Sisters of Hoboken. After Sister Julia, Child of God, accidentally kills 52 residents of the convent with her tainted vichyssoise, the remaining sisters must find a way to bury the last four fallen nuns, being that the convent spent the last of its money on a new plasma TV. The sisters decide to stage a variety show at the Mount Saint Helen’s School auditorium to raise the necessary funds.

The nuns involved in the fundraising show are an eclectic bunch. Reverend Mother Regina is a former circus performer; Sister Mary Hubert is the Mistress of Novices.

Sister Robert Anne is a streetwise nun from Brooklyn; Sister Mary Leo is a wannabe ballerina and a newbie to the

convent; and zany Sister Mary Amnesia lost her memory when a crucifix fell on her head.

“It’s supposed to be an amateur production for the fundraiser, so that’s what makes it really fun,” says Tom Lestrade, the director of the play. “These are just regular nuns, as quirky as they are, trying to do good work with this fundraiser.”

Lestrade started in community theater after graduating from Mississippi State University with a degree in electrical engineering. With his newfound passion, he attended a two-year program at the American Musical and Dramatic Academy. He then moved to the Jackson area in 1998, where he participates in all aspects of theater production, including acting, writing, directing and producing. Lestrade is also the owner of Mississippi Murder Mysteries.

“I saw a production of ‘Nunsense’ back in the earliest ’90s when I lived down on the coast, and it had several very, very talented actresses that I worked with in other productions,” he says.

“It was absolutely hilarious. Of course, I grew up Catholic so I was familiar with (that) angle of the show, but it’s not at all intended for just a Catholic audience. I

think everyone can appreciate the humor of nuns.”

For “Nunsense,” Lestrade has brought together a great cast of local talent including Tommy Hoffman as Sister Mary Regina, or Mother Superior, Lynn Gibbs as Sister Mary Hubert, the Mistress of Novices, Paula Ishee as Sister Robert Anne, Lauri Gregory-Trott as Sister Mary Amnesia, Samantha Gregory as Sister Mary Leo and Sunny Adoll as Sister Mary Annette.

The show is done in a musical revue style and features whimsical songs such as “Nunsense Is Habit-Forming,” “Just a Coupl’a Sisters” and “Holier Than Thou.”

“It’s got some great memorable songs, and it has different styles,” Lestrade says. “There’s some operatic, lots of comical stuff, a little country-music song and a few nice ballads. “It’s a good mix of comedy and music. It’s nothing very complicated; I’d say it’s almost like a sitcom.”

Black Rose Theatre (103 Black St.) in Brandon will present “Nunsense” June 5-7 and 12-14 at 7:30 p.m. and June 8 and 15 at 2 p.m. Tickets for all performances are $15 for adults and $10 for students, military and seniors. Season memberships for the rest of the season are still available. Reservations for the show are not required, but highly encouraged. For more information, visit blackrosetheatre.org or call 601-825-1293.

“We can write a song any number of ways,” Feinberg says. “If we’re jamming, and we come up with something on the spot, that’s one way everyone contributes. If someone has an instrumental hook, they’ll bring it to the table, and we work it out. We’ll take a good song any way it comes.”

With Shaw, Campinelli and Feinberg penning the majority of the lyrics, The Revivalists has a growing and diverse collection of original songs, released on one EP and two LPs to date. In January, the group re-released “City of Sound,” originally released in 2012, after signing with Wind-Up Records.

The re-release includes eight live tracks, adding an hour of the band in full-out jam mode. The music is reminiscent of acts such as Dave Matthews, Phish, Bruce Springsteen and shirts-off favorite, Red Hot Chili Peppers. With passion, dedication and youthful energy, The Revivalists owns the live show and sound of the moment.

“We didn’t want to put out the same LP just because we’re under a label,” Feinberg says. “People have been asking us for a live record, so we pretty much gave them a live album for free with the repackaging.”

The Revivalists performs at 8 p.m. June 6 at Duling Hall (622 Duling Ave.). The Black Cadillacs and Cardinal Sons also perform. Doors open at 7 p.m. The all-ages show is $15 in advance and $20 at the door. Those under 18 must be accompanied by an adult. Visit ardenland.net and therevivalists.com.

SLATE

by Bryan Flynn

Last week, Canada’s Stanley Cup drought continued. The last time a Canadian team won the Stanley Cup was the Montreal Canadiens in 1993.

THURSDAY, JUNE 5 NBA (8-11 p.m., ABC) The 2014 NBA Finals is a rematch of last year’s final, featuring the San Antonio Spurs and the Miami Heat.

FRIDAY, JUNE 6 Baseball (12-6 p.m., ESPN2) A tripleheader of the 2014 Super Regionals as teams battle for a spot in the 2014 College World Series.

SATURDAY, JUNE 7 Horse racing (3:30-6 p.m., NBC) California Chrome looks to become the first horse in 36 years to win the Triple Crown by winning the 146th Belmont Stakes.

SUNDAY, JUNE 8 NBA (7-10 p.m., ABC) Game two of the 2014 NBA Finals as the San Antonio Spurs host the Miami Heat in the second game of their rematch championship series.

MONDAY, JUNE 9 NHL (7-10p.m., NBCSN) Game three of the 2014 Stanley Cup Finals features the New York Rangers and the LA Kings in a cross country battle.

TUESDAY, JUNE 10 NBA (8-11 p.m., ABC) The San Antonio Spurs take their talents to South Beach to face the Miami Heat in game three of the 2014 NBA Finals.

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 11 NHL (7-10p.m., NBCSN) It could be a series clinching game four in the 2014 Stanley Cup Finals as the New York Rangers host the LA Kings.

This week another drought could end if California Chrome can win the 146th Belmont Stakes. He could be the first horse to win the Triple Crown in 36 years, a feat last accomplished by Affirmed.

bryan’s rant #HANGES FOR THE ."!

T

he 2014 NBA Playoffs has all the makings of another classic like last year, when the Miami Heat beat the San Antonio Spurs in seven games. One big difference is that the Spurs have the home-court advantage this year.

The most interesting part of this series, however, might be what happens after it’s over.

No two teams could look completely different next season than the two playing for the title. Win or defeat, the San Antonio Spurs could lose Tim Duncan in the offseason to retirement. Duncan is 38 years old and has to be feeling the wear and tear of years in the league since being the first pick in 1997.

The Spurs’ other stars, Tony Parker, 32, and Manu Ginobili, 36, have sustained many injuries over the last few seasons. Ginobili could retire or, if the Spurs had to, they could trade him and Parker for younger talent.

It seems a good bet that one of the Spurs’ big three won’t be back for the 2014-2015 season. Father Time is the only undefeated entity in sports, and he has been catching up with Duncan, Ginobili and Parker for some time now.

Winning the finals could be the perfect exit for Duncan. On the plus side for Spurs fans, they are a deep team, and all three could be back for one last run if management feels they could pull it off.

The danger for the Spurs is hanging on to core pieces too long and facing major rebuilding efforts down the road.

Miami’s big three—LeBron James, Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade—could bring major change to the Heat in a different way. All three have the ability to opt out of their contracts after this season.

LeBron could win a third straight title and then decide to bring it back to his adoptive hometown of Cleveland. The title-starved city would welcome its prodigal son with open arms if he returned.

Winning a title for Cleveland would also lend a special point to LeBron’s legacy and wipe away the hurt left by his “decision” when he left the city.

Wade, like Parker, is only 32 years old and has had injury problems. He could follow LeBron and become a strong force off the bench for another team. That would cut his minutes and make his impact on the court much bigger.

Bosh could stay in Miami or make his own path; it seems likely that he will make his decision after LeBron and Wade make theirs.

Again, it wouldn’t be a surprise if all three stayed in Miami next season, either. Winning a title could make the decision for both teams as they bring back their stars to defend the title.

As the series reaches it dramatic conclusion, more speculation will arise on where both team’s big three will be around next season. It will be almost as interesting as the finals to watch this offseason unfold and see six great players make decisions that shape the future of the NBA for the next few years.
