[Editor's Note: A major portion of the March 1962 issue of the Quarterly, Whole No. 37, was devoted to an article about the descendants of Amos and Nancy (Borough) Sparks, early settlers of Ohio and Indiana. Among their descendants mentioned in the article was Mary Pearl Sparks, a great-granddaughter who was born in 1887 in Woodford County, Illinois. The following material was taken from a story about her, written by Jane Rohrschneider, which appeared in the WOODFORD COUNTY JOURNAL on the occasion of Mary Pearl's 100th birthday on October 29, 1987.
Mary Pearl Sparks was born a farm in Palestine Township in Woodford County, Illinois, on October 29, 1887, and was a daughter of Amos and Elizabeth (Pearson) Sparks. She attended a county school called Poke Town which was located about a mile from her home. She walked to and from school daily and finished the eighth grade, but she never attended high school. When she was 20 years old, she married Ira Bilbrey. Shortly after the marriage, they moved to neighboring El Paso where Ira worked in a canning factory. He died in 1979. They had two children, Cecil Bilbrey, now 79 years old, and Gladys (Bilbrey) Punke, now 77.
In commenting on her longevity, Mrs. Bilbrey said, "Hard work is what's done it. I've worked hard all my life." She explained that her growing up was done in a much different time. "No cars, no radio, no television, no telephone. Everything was done by hand. Most things we needed were right on the farm, and that kept us busy. If we had spare time, we played games or read."
Mrs. Bilbrey has lived at the Apostolic Christian Home in Eureka, Illinois, for the past six years, and there is where her 100th birthday was celebrated by holding an open house for her family and friends.
Many "Happy Returns of the Day," to you, Mary Pearl!

Channing Tatum Confirmed as GambitMay 13, 2014
Producer Lauren Shuler Donner says Tatum will be Gambit.
Although there has been no official deal announced by Bryan Singer, the director has previously hinted at the possibilities of Gambit, telling Mexican site Cine Premiere, "I'm considering Gambit and potentially a young Nightcrawler for 'Apocalypse.'"
Now, longtime X-Men producer Lauren Shuler Donner said in an interview with Total Film that to her, Tatum is Gambit. Whether or not that means they are waiting on an official announcement to come any day now or that in her mind she sees Tatum as Gambit, we aren't sure yet.
"Well you know he's a rogue, Channing. He's a rascal, just like Remy LeBeau, and he can handle the action, we all know that. He's got a really good heart, because I know him personally, I did a movie with him. So I think he'll be great, he'll be great for Gambit, and he's a southerner too, he's not from New Orleans but he is a southerner and he understands that world, and you know Gambit loves New Orleans."
What do you think? Will Channing Tatum be able to fill the shoes of the Cajun who is a favorite for many X-Men fans? Sound off in the comments below!

CBC Identifies Strategies to Significantly Reduce Public School Crowding and Save $2.4 Billion
The Citizens Budget Commission (CBC) today released "Cut Costs, Not Ribbons: Alternatives That Reduce School Crowding," a comprehensive report demonstrating how administrative solutions can reduce school crowding and limit the need to build expensive new school buildings.
Approximately 520,000 public school students attend classes in 618 buildings the New York City Department of Education (DOE) defines as crowded. This crowding persists despite DOE's extraordinary $9.1 billion investment to build more than 98,000 seats between 2005 and September 2018. School construction is expensive—now approaching $122,000 per seat—and takes more than three years from start to finish on average.
The DOE 2020-2024 Capital Plan proposes $8.8 billion in spending for new capacity projects. The CBC report recommends DOE increase its use of more cost-effective approaches such as more flexible zoning, re-purposing available seats, and altering admissions policies, to reduce the amount of planned construction. In the 2017-2018 school year crowded buildings had approximately 96,000 fewer seats than students. Implementing CBC's recommendations could reduce this need to 36,000 seats and save $2.4 billion in planned capital spending, which translates to approximately $150 million in annual debt service costs for the City and the State.
"The City has not been able to build itself out of the school crowding problem," said Andrew S. Rein, President of the Citizens Budget Commission. "Now is the time for the DOE to maximize the use of cost-effective alternative strategies to alleviate crowding and use the savings to improve instruction or building conditions."
The CBC report details alternative strategies that could reduce the need to build elementary and middle school seats by 43 percent and eliminate the need to build seats for high school students. These include:
- Increasing flexibility in elementary school zones, which could reduce the shortage at elementary schools by 16,000 seats.
- Using available space in uncrowded middle schools to: a) accommodate 2,000 students at crowded middle schools through admissions and zoning changes; and b) provide 7,500 elementary seats through new elementary or K-8 schools.
- Capping high school enrollment through the admissions process, with considerable discretion for local officials to exceed caps. Citywide there are 33,413 more high school seats than students.
- Converting non-instructional space to classrooms, which could provide 420 seats at middle school buildings and 1,860 seats at elementary school buildings.
Savings from forgoing unnecessary school construction could be allocated to improving and enhancing existing buildings. Alternatively, operating budget debt service savings from lower capital spending on new capacity could be allocated to improving instruction.

Contrary to clichéd popular belief, not everyone comes to Ibiza for the rave. The island holds a million different pulls for those who choose to live here, but one common thread that is shared across the board is most definitely food.
Ibiza is home to a remarkable number of culinary champions ranging from the humble home cook to the mighty private chef. In the winter in particular, much bread is broken and one of the local's pastimes is most certainly eating - something we find very little time for in the summer. Think BBQs on the beach, al fresco lunches and late night dinner parties. We absolutely love spending hours gossiping over a table of fine wine and good grub!
So I thought I'd point out a couple of edible highlights on the island. Good food is a plenty, but here are a couple of the local's faves...
Located by the side of Plaza Del Parque, the all-year-round social hub in Ibiza Town, you could easily miss Pastis if you didn't know it were there. But don't be fooled by the discreet little doorway. Beyond the plush red velvet drapes, lies an incredibly chic and exclusive French gourmet restaurant which takes pride in its cuisine and wine to the nth degree. With no more than 10 tables cosily scattered on the chequered tile floor and a bustling open kitchen, this petite little bistro will transport you to the heart of decadent Paris. The attention to detail both in terms of food quality and service will leave you feeling spoilt rotten. This place is our number one choice for special occasions and luxurious treats.
Insider Info - The French Onion Soup could possibly be the best in the world. Do have a Pastis at the bar as an aperitif before you sit down for your sumptuous meal, and be sure to try the homemade caramel vodka shots as you attempt to digest at the end of the night.
La Oliva
La Oliva can be found in what is fondly known as 'Restaurant Square' in Dalt Vila. Just at the top of the ramp, lies Plaza De Vila and a plethora of tourist friendly and not-so-cheap eateries set amongst the cobbles. A popular fixture for any visitor. If you continue through the square and up the hill a little onto Calle Santa Cruz, you will find a smaller and less noticeable restaurant with just 3 or 4 tables out in the narrow street. La Oliva is a family owned restaurant that has been passed down through the generations and is now run by Lisa Salle, who will welcome you with a wide smile in just about any language. The food speaks for itself. Local Mediterranean dishes are lovingly prepared and presented as art on a plate. Massively on-point service lifts the eating experience into the higher echelons. An absolute must for a high level holiday feel, even for us locals!
Insider Info - Book ahead to make sure you get a prime people-watching spot on the paved terrace. You could even pop into La Mezcaleria (see D is for Dalt Vila) which is directly opposite for a very mischievous aperitif. Oh and the rack of lamb. The rack of lamb! It leaves us speechless...
La Bodega
Trundle back down the ramp and tucked beneath it by the Old Market is La Bodega, by far the local's favourite tapas restaurant in town. With impressive high ceilings and rustic stone walls, the venue itself is breathtaking. Run by a hardworking and fun-loving team, expect a fantastic array of superb tapas accompanied by a brisk and friendly service. There is something for everyone here on the extensive menu and the lively atmosphere makes it a brilliant all-round experience.
Insider Info - Get there early and perch at the bar and ask Edu to make you a Hendricks and tonic. Served in a huge fishbowl glass with refreshing slices of cucumber, we often pop in just for them alone! If the waiters like you, they will leave you with a selection of bottles of their homemade liquors at the end of your meal. Hierbas, limoncello and a host of other things with no names. You have been warned...
A venture out of Ibiza Town is always worth it when at the end of the rainbow lies the opulent Bambuddha. Located on the San Juan Road and set within a magnificent oriental style zen garden, Bambuddha epitomises fine Asian dining Ibiza style. An ever popular spot for the discerning local, the low lighting, immaculate service and mouthwatering modern high-end Asian cuisine makes Bambuddha the only place to go for some grown-up exotic fun with a side order of beautifully presented food. Utterly sublime.
Insider Info - Deep at the back of the restaurant lies a nightclub and Tantric Sex Shop ,which occasionally play host to some of the wildest parties the island sees. If you're around for their opening, closing or especially their legendary Halloween Party, make the effort to swing by (early though. The queues to get in can be epic) and witness the island's finest letting their hair down in the most sinful of fashions.
I must add that this is the tiniest taster (pardon the pun) of the culinary delights that our wonderful island has to offer. There are tiny kitchens in local cafés that will blow your mind (Comidas San Juan in Ibiza Town for example), agroturismos serving up fresh food from their organic gardens (La Paloma and Can Gasi spring to mind), luxurious beach restaurants (Yemanja and El Chiringuito) and a whole host of tapas and pintxo bars (El Zaguan and Can Terra are definitely worth a mention). So get your gastronomy on! In between all that clubbing, you can discover Ibiza through the power of your tastebuds.
Next week, H is for Hierbas. The island's indigenous liqueur and the taste of Ibiza.
Insider's A to Z of Ibiza

Helpful information about remodeling or building a bathroom for all the info necessary for your bath projects, big or small. Clogged drains and pipes problems will prevent the bathtub from drying and may indicate serious problems beneath the bathtub. It depends on the size you want to accomplish, otherwise try choosing mirror and frames at with the amount of cm you need, which is around one-eighth-inch to a quarter inches.
If you are planning on changing around your whole bathroom, you may be pleased enough. Freestanding poles are nice bathroom accessories, since you can store linen, towels, tissue, and more on the pole. Also, you want the tile to be square to the wall and corners, which isn't easy when the walls aren't square.
However, if you have a luxury bath, or master bath, the gold brass is the best choice. Another great time saving bathroom cleaning tip for your shower stall is to wipe away all of the water after each use. You can paint baskets and decorate just like you did your shelves.
Finisher B doesn't recommend the color red for the bathroom, but suggest a light tan leather look, also referred to as a colorwash on their estimate. The ivy has a variety of shades that go with everything in your bathroom. With several design platforms to choose from starting with the century old Victorian bathroom that were characterized by claw-footed roll top baths, sculpted pedestal basins, free standing showers enclosures and sometimes a matching bidet.
In many homes today you more often see two or three bathrooms, which all depends on the number of rooms and inhabitants. The registers are great, since it ventilates the room, and reduces mold and mildew build-up. Designing your own mirrors is the start of creating a completely new bathroom.

Web-based drugstores are among the fastest growing sectors on the web. There's an obvious reason for this fact. It's beneficial and you are able to cut corners, for there are no distinct instructions. Some of the internet drug stores are not really reliable in any case. Some of them make a huge revenue by offering forged medicines: some are outdated and inadequate, some aren't produced under right conditions. The latter makes them remarkably unhealthy to use: they're assimilated with other pills and all sorts of toxoids, or they're tainted when getting repackaged.
That is not where the questions end. Some medications are watered down and some are made using questionable ingredients. In this day and age, you can't change the way of the future. Internet pharmacies seek to top each other by the way of lowering the prices which, obviously, causes serious damage to the characteristics of their products.
You can not bet on your own well-being, so we actively suggest you examine your drugstore's legitimacy prior to making a purchase. That is the main goal of medicine-rx.com. A simple site which gives you a detailed report and information about legitimacy of an online pharmacy that you are planning to use. That is not the risk worth taking, since it's your well-being that's at stake in this situation.
With the help of our service you are able to check kingsoopers.com review and weed out all the untrustworthy web-sites and e-pharmacies. It's directed at guaranteeing that this web-site is honest by checking the reports, searching for the additional information on the net and many varied risk reduction methods.

In case you've been considering purchasing online and mail-order drugs, you just need to think twice. Firstly, you might want to explore kingsoopers.com review and go over some things that could be deemed warning signs.
If a product is too good to be true, it plausibly is. You can't offer good, high-quality pills for twelve dollars and expect to make a profit. If this web drug store is not making a profit, so what's its purpose? It makes you actually wonder if it is untrustworthy. You also need to seek its VIPPS approval authentication, which indicates that the web platform was recognized by the NABP. You also have to double-check the address to see if there is something suspicious about the URL itself. Going one step further: check to see if it is based in a country that's famous for presenting good medicine. Confirm that this online shop has a pharmacist that you can talk to. Inspect their rules of confidentiality. Do not reveal your personal information.
The most important thing, you are able to pass over all of the above by reading kingsoopers.com review. It is a simple solution that reviews an internet site's legitimacy utilizing a number of techniques. If you follow the forenamed suggestions, you can actually make your purchasing experience protected, but it is not 100%. You cannot be completely sure expect that a reputable, secure website proves that this particular web-resource is safe to shop.
You can not let yourself gamble on your personal well-being, you cannot order the medicines that are counterfeited, outdated or just completely inefficient. That will create serious aftereffects and health long-term issues.

"The best win I've ever had" – Matthew Sampson
"That is so unbelievable – the audience is extraordinary", gasped Matthew Sampson breathless. The 27-year-old Brit had moments earlier won the jump-off of the 89th German Jumping Derby, presented by J.J.Darboven, with Gloria van Zuuthoeve and with it, the second stage of the DKB Riders Tour. Similarly jubilant were the horse's owner David Mcpherson and Matt`s mother, who could hardly stop hugging her son.
Tens of thousands celebrated the Derby newcomer whose biggest achievement thus far had been winning the British Speed Derby in Hickstead. "This here was the best win of my life so far", acknowledged the overjoyed Derby winner. Sampson made a total of five laps of honour with the twelve-year-old Belgian mare, whom David Mcpherson himself rode in the Derby a few years ago. There was just as much excitement in Hamburg over second place for Gilbert Tillmann (Grevenbroich) and Claus Dieter, who achieved the first fault-free round, and over Eventing Vice Champion Sandra Auffarth from Ganderkesee with Nupafeed`s La Vista, who courageously galloped into third place.
Gilbert Tillmann was unusually melancholy, probably aware that "tomorrow the calls will start again from owners interested in Claus Dieter". And quite apart from everything else, it was already going to be a special day: His Derby hero – Hello Max – who brought him his longed-for victory in the 2013 German Jumping Derby, is exactly 23 years old today. "In honour of Max I'd have liked to have won today", laughed Tillmann, "but it's more important that he's well".
"I've had so much fun", concluded Sandra Auffarth, openly admitting that Riders Tour Director Paul Schockemöhle – purely in the spirit of empowering women in showjumping – had given her a couple of useful tips to help her on her way. "I wasn't quite pushing myself to my limits in Eventing, which is why I looked for new stimuli in Hamburg", said the World Champion with a wink.
Riders Tour Director Paul Schockemöhle was very satisfied: "We've seen very exciting and very high-quality sport, that's what matters," And Burkhard Stibbe, Regional Leader of title sponsor DKB, expressed his enthusiasm for the spectators in Hamburg: "There were so many of them who stayed. You don't get that in other sports. My compliments to the equestrian sports fans in Hamburg."
Doubles all round in the DKB Riders Tour rankings
In the DKB Riders Tour rankings, following the first two stages of the series, all the positions are now tied: Denis Nielsen, winner of the first leg, shares pole position with Matthew Sampson, Gilbert Tillmann shares his third place ranking with Austria's Christian Rhomberg, and Sandra Auffarth and Cameron Hanley (Ireland) are sharing fifth place. Matthew Simpson was excited: "Wiesbaden is too soon for us – we want to go to the Hickstead Derby – but I'd really like to ride in the tour stations in Germany. What a great chance that would be if I could…" Sandra Auffarth wants to celebrate first and then make a plan, and for Gilbert Tillmann it all depends on whether there is suitable horse available to him. The third stage in Wiesbaden at the International Whitsun Tournament kicks off on Friday 18th May in the Wiesbaden-Biebrich Palace Park.
Result Deutsches Spring-Derby, 2. Stage DKB-Riders Tour:
1. Matthew Sampson (Great Britain), Gloria van Zuuthoeve, 0/ 50,53

- Builds on UPS's Commitment to Help All Customers Grow and Succeed
- Enables Customers to Refine Holiday Shipping Plans
- Modified Over-maximum, Large and Additional Handling Peak Surcharges Announced
UPS (NYSE:UPS) today said the company will not apply additional Peak surcharges for U.S. residential deliveries during the busy 2019 holiday season, unless by contractual exception or for those requiring special handling. The company once again expects to handle a record number of holiday deliveries during peak season 2019.
"We are continuing to build momentum as our Transformation matures and we enhance the company's operating efficiency," said David Abney, UPS Chairman and CEO. "This announcement enables UPS customers to plan now for a great holiday shopping season and to satisfy their customers by utilizing UPS's industry-leading on-time delivery service, once again this year."
During 2018 and 2019, UPS has added 20 additional 747-8 and 767 aircraft, more than 700,000 additional packages per hour of automated sortation capacity in new Super Hubs, and updated processing and delivery facilities. The company continues to upgrade its air and ground capacity as part of a previously announced capital investment plan. More than 75 percent of eligible packages will be processed in the new automated facilities during the 2019 holiday season, and the company forecasts attaining 100 percent of eligible volume in 2021.
UPS today announced modifications to special peak surcharges for over-maximum, large package or additional special handling items requiring manual processes or off-line handling. From Nov. 24, 2019 to Jan. 4, 2020, packages with unusual dimensions requiring special handling will receive an additional handling surcharge. From Oct. 1, 2019 to Jan. 4, 2020, packages designated as 'Large' under UPS's Tariff or packages above the company's small package network size and weight limits, will receive an added surcharge.
Additional information is available at this shipping rates page. Over-maximum shipments are recommended to be shipped through the UPS Freight network.
UPS recently announced several new capabilities and network enhancements planned for 2019 and 2020. UPS My Choice for Business is a new service designed to help small businesses attain enhanced inbound and outbound shipping visibility and attain better control to improve planning and forecast staffing. The company is also partnering with CVS Pharmacy, Michaels Inc. and Advance Auto to add about 12,000 new UPS Access Point Locations by year-end 2019. The new locations bring the total UPS Access Point Locations to 21,000 in the U.S., providing an unrivaled number of alternate pick-up and drop-off locations.
"We delivered a record-setting 2018 peak season in terms of both on-time delivery performance and operations execution," said Abney. "We will build on the lessons learned last year and leverage our new efficient air and ground capacity to make the 2019 peak season another success for customers, investors and other stakeholders."

All good things must come to an end. Blues By Starlight, Take a Tasty Bite Out of Crime, The Zoo Party, A Taste of Mississippi, Sante South, and other charity events were held for years at Highland Village. Jacksonians enjoyed the events as the outdoor nature of the shopping center provided a nice venue for events while supporting local charities. However, Highland Village's management has decided to cease support of those events and ticketed charity functions will no longer be held at Highland Village.
Several restaurants will be moving into the courtyard. The ticketed events close off the access to the courtyard, thus preventing their customers from being able to enter those restaurants without paying to get into the actual event . A favorite venue in Jackson for the social scene will be no more.
Kingfish note: Apparently a full house means nothing to the landlords of Highland Village who indeed think they are Lords of All and have no interest in the Jackson community other than sucking out the local dollars to Boston. This was a great venue for charity events. It was nice and let's face it, people prefer outdoor parties when the weather is pleasant to being cooped up indoors. Quite a few shops stayed open because they realized that a full house meant more traffic which might actually mean.... business. Charities and non-profits will now be forced to scramble to find other venues. Hello, Renaissance. Nothing like seeing Jackson landlords run everything out to the burbs and then wonder why no one comes to Jackson. However, it's only business.

Highland Village ceases charity events.
All good things must come to an end. Blues By Starlight, Take a Tasty Bite Out of Crime, The Zoo Party, A Taste of Mississippi, Sante South, and other charity events were held for years at Highland Village. Jacksonians enjoyed the events as the outdoor nature of the shopping center provided a nice venue for events while supporting local charities. However, Highland Village's management has decided to cease support of those events and ticketed charity functions will no longer be held at Highland Village.

Aside from the "Lords of All" bit, I agree with your post. They ARE lords of their property, right? Can we agree on that? Blame the Fowlers for selling the place if you want to blame someone. Local owners support local charities. Local charities ultimately mean nothing to out-of-state owners. If anyone is upset about this, I suggest you discuss it over coffee at your local coffee house, a meal at a locally-owned restaurant (including franchises), or while shopping at locally-owned stores. Locally-owned never really matters... until it does.

I agree with you, 1:12. It is their property and it is their's to use as they see fit. I'd even defend their right to allow smoking. However, I also have the right to free speech and can voice my opinion. They can ignore it all day long.

Highland Village sold control so that the Prius crowd could get a Whole Foods. Talk about a progressive cage match. Now that they can overpay for staples at WF, they can't virtue signal on social media at the HV charity events. And frankly, a lot of folks warned about the Whole Foods deal hurting local business. If a consequence can be foreseen, it ain't unintended.
- February 20, 2017 at 1:22 PM
Where's your proof that Whole Foods is hurting local business? I've haven't seen one bit of traffic slowdown at McDades or Kroger. The amount of traffic in that area of Jackson is huge. The Whole Foods is a huge draw. It's not overpaying if you have other options and willingly walk in the door. This is from a guy who buys everything at McDades and Kroger. I rarely walk into Whole Foods but there's no denying that it's been great for Jackson.

On Wednesday, Whole Foods reported what is arguably its worst performance in a decade, announcing its sixth consecutive quarter of falling same-store sales and cutting its outlook for the year. The company is closing nine stores, the most it has ever closed at one time. A mere 16 months ago, Whole Foods predicted it would grow its 470 U.S. locations to more than 1,200.
The problem is one that CEO John Mackey probably didn't predict when he first opened Whole Foods as a neighborhood natural foods store 36 years ago: Organics, then a fringe interest, have become so thoroughly mainstream that organic chains now have to face conventional big-box competitors. Mass-market retailers were responsible for 53.3 percent of organic food sales in 2015, according to the Organic Trade Association; natural retailers clocked in just north of 37.
By volume, the largest organic retailer in the U.S. is currently believed to be Costco — which in 2015 sold $4 billion of organic produce and packaged foods. Like Walmart, Kroger and Aldi, Costco sells organic produce for considerably cheaper than do natural food stores, farmer's markets or Whole Foods. In fact, lowering prices has been one of Whole Food's primary strategies for dealing with competitors.

WF has been good for the community. Created a sort of local meeting place for NE Jackson. Can get coffee or beer. It's higher priced but all in all, it's been a plus. People from outside of Jackson actually come there to shop.

- February 20, 2017 at 1:48 PM
It sucks that these events are being "forced" out to the burbs when it appears they didn't ask to be but I will say Highland Village was just too small. I went to a Blues by Starlight one year and swore I would never go back. Parking was a nightmare and the space was so claustrophobic you couldn't move around to casually sample the food. I had always hoped it would move to Renaissance where the potential would be for more space and breathing room.
- February 20, 2017 at 2:18 PM
Whole Foods is one the few places I'd bother to shop in Jackson for, to be honest. Fresh Market is okay but WF has stuff you can't find elsewhere in the metro area.
- February 20, 2017 at 2:21 PM
I like Fresh Mkt too. Don't forget the original RAINBOW Whole Foods in Fondren.
- February 20, 2017 at 2:32 PM
How the hell can a grocery store be characterized as 'a local meeting place'? Bull Shit. It's a damned grocery store! Nobody goes to the grocery store for a 'meeting place' except six or seven old men who might meet for a cheap breakfast at Kroger or McDonalds where coffee refills are free and farts are overlooked.
Other than that, people go to the grocery store to buy groceries unless you're a warped fellow who wears sunglasses and follows women around the aisles.
- February 20, 2017 at 3:05 PM
3:05, you really should not comment when YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THE HELL YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT! Whole Foods has a 2nd level specifically designed as a meeting space, and it is utilized quite frequently. I don't have anything to do with Whole Foods and don't shop there very often, but I can't stand a negative know it all ass like yourself who actually knows nothing about the subject.
- February 20, 2017 at 3:20 PM
Oh, dear! What will the Zoo Party Unleashed do now? How about having their fundraiser at the zoo itself?
Remember when people were talking about moving the Zoo to LeFleur's Bluff and Donna Ladd called them racists, but was happy to co-sponsor a fundraiser in Highland Village where the "right people" would gladly show up and donate money?
JJ readers ate her lunch over the hypocrisy. Now that Highland Village is no longer available, will she and the other sponsors hold their party on the Zoo grounds?
My sources say no.
- February 20, 2017 at 3:25 PM
I bet 3:05 also thinks Starbucks is just a coffee store....What a moron.

Whole Foods = Whole Paycheck
- February 20, 2017 at 4:10 PM
Public events, even those ticketed, can go to the many public locations in
Jackson or wherever they are domiciled. Highland Village, with its renovation
and new business and old establishments, is a great shopping and dining
attraction for Jackson.
- February 20, 2017 at 4:37 PM
4:10 Whole Foods is not "whole paycheck" for the people (myself included) who shop there and enjoy it. It might be for the Cash Saver crowd, but that is why they don't shop there. The people who go around using cliche phrases like "whole paycheck" are the people I'm paying extra to avoid just like I pay extra to shop at Target so I don't have to be around Walmart folks.
- February 20, 2017 at 4:37 PM
4:37, your lack of self awareness is pretty awesome. Thanks for proving all the snarkier commenters correct when they say so many whole fooders are elitists.
- February 20, 2017 at 5:27 PM
Dumb move by Highland Village, but its their property. If you are going to ask people to venture into Jackson for a major fund raising event, you can have it at the Art Museum, the Convention Center or the Marriott or the King Edward or Old Capital Inn. Or 10 other places.
- February 20, 2017 at 5:32 PM
This is a real bummer and puts a bad taste in my mouth. I agree the parking was not great and it could get crowded but it sure was an established Jackson tradition. Where to now? Will start seeking.

5:27 Apparently you don't have a clue as to the difference between the average Target customer vs. the average Walmart customer.
- February 20, 2017 at 7:27 PM
3:20; I'm sure and several other men of questionable character and deviance enjoy meeting at the upper level of the local grocery retailer. Eventually you will be outed though.
- February 20, 2017 at 7:37 PM
I can't afford to shop at Whole Foods you jerk? For those of us who can only afford to shop at Dallar General Grocery, Whole Foods would be whole paycheck for my family. It takes all that my wife and I have to care for her mom and our two kids. We both are community college educated and I work two jobs. I am proud of my family and happy that I don't associate with snobs such as you.
- February 20, 2017 at 9:09 PM
I can think of at least one event that so many free tickets were given out it made it less likely paying customers would want to face the crowd....a bit counter productive I'd say...

I didn't realize the Metropolis had such a large crowd of man-boys who wear skinny leg britches and cruise at grocery stores and coffee shacks. My bad.
The same crowd that protests Mac's not selling craft beer (or any beer).
- February 21, 2017 at 5:54 AM
9:09 pm Sounds like you have a chip on your shoulder that is every bit as unattractive as snobbery.
Having struggled financially in early years and finally arrived at success, there is nothing ennobling about financial hardship nor in wealth. Life remains challenging.
It's been sad that some of my friends from early years and relatives , like you, become prideful and/or resentful. Some say can't afford to be my friend anymore and they won't let me share with them the benefits of having money. They think it " showing off" and making them feel poor. And, there are those who want me to just give them money.
I shop at Walmart and Target and Whole Foods. I shop at WF because I'm on a restricted diet for health reasons and they have what I used to have to order.
There is a buffet and dining at WF and a place to meet . It's obvious to any observer that the prices are reasonable for many items like a buffet lunch and not everyone shopping or eating there is wealthy.
The truth is that there are toxic and unhappy and resentful people in every economic strata and group in society. Fortunately, there are also positive, stable, good hearted people as well . If you find the good folks and avoid the toxic folks , you make friendships that are meaningful and last a lifetime. You also find that happiness and laughter is contagious. My friendships aren't based on the thickness of one's wallet, but on a person's character and how they treat others.
Happiness is a gift you give yourself. It's not something you can purchase. I'm like my parents pointed that out to me early on. I think it makes success more likely. Nobody wants to be around , much less promote ill tempered,negative, complaining, resentful people.
- February 21, 2017 at 6:18 AM
@9:09 : you are lashing out because of your poor life choices? WF markets to those you'll never associate with: people that like for animals they eat to be treated humanely, organic food types that are treated with DNA altering chemicals, and lactose intolerant.
It's not my cup of tea as they don't sell Barq's root beer in the bottle. But I give them marks for their seafood and meat selection.
So because you can't afford it, if you shop carefully, you find their prices are nearly inline the top tier foods at Kroger, is no reason to lash out against those that appreciate the alternate choices now available to our area.
- February 21, 2017 at 6:31 AM
coming from someone in the ag sector, 90% of the "organic" food you buy is a marketing ploy. Enjoy your over priced fruits, veggies, and meats, but don't think for a minute its 100% free range or organic. They have yall hippies falling for one of the best feel good marketing scams ever pulled off.
- February 21, 2017 at 8:27 AM
Why not just give armbands to ticket holders and let everyone in the venue? That way, you're not restricting access to existing businesses in the courtyard. How many people are at Highland Village at 8:00 at night anyway (outside of the restaurants)?
I think something else is going on here. Maybe they were having to pay extra premiums for their premises liability coverage for each event? Extra security? If it's something like that, it seems like the costs could have been passed on to organizers/attendees. I think this is pretty short sighted by the new owners. Lots of people who wouldn't normally think about Highland Village (me included) discover new businesses to patronize by attending those charity events.
- February 21, 2017 at 9:14 AM
6:18 and 6:31 am
It doesn't appear that you understand the point I believe is being made by 9:09 pm. It appears that you (same person?) believe it's fine to opine on your wonderful "life choices" that enable you to regularly shop at WHOLE FOODS. In my humble opinion however you are deplorable to suggest that hard working Americans such as 9:09 have made "poor" life choices.
Nobody seemed to be asking for a donation from you; the man was only stating his opinion in response to yours. It is you who display your ignorance if you believe the animals that you ingest are really treated any differently than those I kill, clean and eat every fall and winter.
Dead meat is dead meat and by the way all chickens sold publicly are required to be treated with antibiotics.

- February 21, 2017 at 11:32 AM
@9:14 the increase in premises liability stemming from an event like these would be incurred upon the event organizer and they would pay for it. Also would be listing the premises owner as an additional insured and most likely with a waiver of subrogation in favor or the owners of HV. It wouldn't be on the building owners policy nor much of a rating detail.
- February 21, 2017 at 12:34 PM
It sounds like 6:18 and 6:31 think that people less fortunate then them shouldn't be able to eat healthy too.
- February 21, 2017 at 1:45 PM
They're not elitists. They're new money. They were never taught that being humble and modest in attitude is what's best for everyone, including themselves. They were probably never taught that the money flow could be gone tomorrow in the blink of an eye. They will never understand that flagrantly showing off on purpose is how you become a target. They will never understand the difference between true intrinsic value and brand name corporate value. J. crew, a BMW, and Whole Foods.
Only "the sheep" save money where possible, right? The wealthy never do. 'Cuz that's how the wealthy stay wealthy; they spend all of their money on needless exotic purchases at every point along the path. 🙄
As for the Bostonians taking control of Highland Village: you need to understand your market In a broader context. I'm trying to help you out. If you keep at it like an Ayn Rand acolyte gone wrong, eventually you'll lose all of your tenants that make the place seem special.

3:05 / 7:37, you are consumed by the thought of deviants in grocery stores. Sick. Get some help.

- February 21, 2017 at 5:00 PM
I agree. So....the 'female' @ 3:15 has special knowledge of the "atrium level" at WH where the deviants meet?
Most of us have never heard of the second floor until Kingfish mentioned it. These 'meeting places' aren't well known to normal people.
I go for a jar of pickles, a couple of ribeyes and maybe six inspected, farm-raised catfish filets. Leaving the weekend follies to others.
- February 21, 2017 at 6:25 PM
I've been heavily involved with one of the events mentioned in the original post for some time, and another of the events a little less so. First, the new management of Highland Village have been downright hostile to the nonprofits who had previously used the site with no problems. Not just unwelcoming, but hostile. I spoke with committee members of a couple of the other events and they felt the same way. Worse, the new HV management would show up at the events and harass ticket-holders and participating restaurants. I am surprised they event felt they needed to make an announcement, everyone I spoke with said they were looking for a friendlier, more supportive venue.
Second, the management at Whole Foods stepped in and provided the kind of support for the organizing volunteers that we used to get from the Fowlers. If they were opposed to the event, they probably wouldn't have been as helpful. Jeff Good and Bravo also stepped up, though they had been supportive for years.
Third, the events didn't cost HV a penny. The nonprofits secured the insurance, sponsors paid for services that weren't donated, and volunteers did all the work. I spent many late nights checking the shrubs at the site for discarded food or paper products just so HV staff didn't have to worry about it.
I grew up in Jackson and spent a lot of time at Highland Village -- got my senior portraits at the fountain there. I won't shop there anymore, though -- I am not going to support people who don't support the community.
I hope the local business owners who are still there will find new locations.

Never said a word about the second floor. If you actually visited WF, you would see there are tables and chairs outside next to the cafe and plenty of them inside as well. People actually meet there for coffee or beer. They serve plenty of hot meals as well.
- February 21, 2017 at 9:50 PM
Let's revisit the timeline and posts:
At 1:45, Kingfish refers to Whole Foods as 'a local meeting place'.
Then 5:05 questions the assertion that a grocery store is 'a meeting place'.
Then 3:20 jumps in to defend the 2nd floor of Whole foods as 'A meeting space, utilized quite frequently' (although he doesn't say what for).
Next, 4:00 calls 3:05 a moron and sidetracks the conversation over to Starbucks (another well known 'meeting place utilized quite frequently', no doubt)
7:27 questions the morals of 3:20 who meets others on the 2nd floor of a Grocery Store when his wife thinks he is working her grocery list.
5:54 remarks about man-boys cruising grocery stores and coffee shacks as 'meeting places' (so he must be an obsessed moron).
3:15 jumps in to offer her clinical diagnosis of the mental illness of 3:05/7:37 who was guilty of pointing out the deviants.
5:00, who isn't paying attention worth a shit, jumps in to wonder how 3:05 knew about the 2nd floor after it had already been revealed and discussed.
Kingfish covers his bases at 9:50 by saying 'ain't nunna me - I ain't the one who told about the second floor!'
Well hell! Whatever happened to deviants simply cruising the bus stations and toilets at the Holiday Hotel? Now we have grocery stores offering not only places for men to pee with little girls...but also hosting 'meeting places' for shoppers.
And please tell me when men started meeting men upstairs in a grocery store instead of gathering on Saturday to rake ball fields, do cemetery work or build playgrounds.

Trollfest '09
Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and "Big Cat" Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).
Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.
Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".
In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The "Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless" booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word "jackass" was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.
In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear.

The Orb of Thesulah. Thesulah? No idea? Well I can tell you it's a big deal in the Buffy universe. SPOILER ALERT (for those slowly going through the BTVS series on your netflix queue). This mysterious glass sphere is the only known magic in the universe that can restore Angelus's soul after it is lost from a "moment of true happiness / shagging Buffy" thingy. The spell to activate the orb was found by the late wiccan/gypsy Jenny Calendar (one of the many Angelus casualties of season 2).

'Cockroaches and bulls': The best and worst Texas state legislators in 2019, per Texas Monthly
How do you grade the 86th Texas Legislature?
The state's two chambers (31 senators and 150 representatives) only convene for a 140-day regular legislative session every two years. Thus, the stakes are high for longtime lawmakers and those serving their first year in office.
The best way, though certainly not the only way, might just be to analyze parts of the whole.
So, Texas Monthly decided to partially answer that question by shining their own light on the aftermath in a Tuesday article titled '2019: The Best and Worst Legislators.'
New Texas laws: Read all the bills Gov. Greg Abbott confirmed into law, including those signed before last Sunday's veto deadline
Overall, just a few weeks after the session concluded, Texas Monthly described the 86th Legislature as "less juicy brisket and more rice cake—dull, tasteless, and allegedly good for you."
In that story, the authors examined the debate surrounding bills that touched on hot-button issues.
In some cases those discussions, and the ultimate successes or failures of over 1,000 bills was decided through traditional methods. At other points of the session, unique divisions, relationships and arguments produced unexpected results.
So, now that some of the proverbial dust has settled following Governor Abbott's June 16 deadline to veto bills, the Texas Monthly article really gets down to it.
Who are the best legislators in the state and who are the worst? The publication even created a special awards section which got...pretty creative in showering praise and disdain.
Above, you can where some of the prominent Texas state legislators from both parties landed on those lists, and why.
Note: All of the text quoted in the captions above comes directly from the article '2019: The Best and Worst Legislators' on TexasMonthly.com.
The order of the photos within each topic is not a ranking, but as it appears in the article.

Egyptian authorities have once again closed the Rafah border crossing, after a three-day opening in the direction of Gaza earlier this week.
The crossing, a main lifeline for Palestinians in Gaza, was previously completely shut off since early March.
According to Khalil Shaheed, the director of the economic and social rights unit at the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights, life in Gaza becomes "almost completely" paralysed when the crossing is closed. This was the first time authorities had opened the crossing since 10 March, he said.
He added that the crossing is especially important for students and people who are in dire need of medical care.
Mohammed Matter, an activist and co-founder of the group Gaza Youth Breaks Out said: "To Gazans, the Rafah crossing is the point where the future looks blurry. It is the point where patients feel double the pain and students see no further than its gate."
Shaheed added that the Erez and Kerem Shalom crossings with Israel are permanently closed, and there is therefore more dependence on the Rafah crossing. When it is closed, "there is no way for any Palestinian to get out of Gaza", he said.
Egyptian state-media reported that over 1,400 Palestinians crossed from Egypt into Gaza over the three-day period. In addition, approximately 3,000 tonnes of construction material entered the strip. The situation inside Gaza "has been catastrophic since the last Israeli attacks on the strip", Shaheed said, adding that over 100,000 Palestinians have had their homes destroyed since last August.
Israel killed over 2,000 Palestinians in "Operation Protective Edge" in the summer of 2014. It also severely damaged Gaza's infrastructure, including schools and hospitals.
With the closure of all crossings, rebuilding homes and infrastructure has been increasingly difficult, Shaheed said.
The Egyptian military has repeatedly evacuated the area of homes and destroyed tunnels to maintain a "buffer zone" between Egypt and Gaza.
"This gate isn't only a border. It's a turning point in the relations between the Palestinian and Egyptian people. Gaza is not Hamas and Hamas is not Gaza," Matter said adding that Egypt's claim that it is closing the Rafah crossing for security reasons "is not valid since the route between the Rafah crossing and Cairo is away from the conflict zone in northern Sinai".

NEW YORK, June 12 (LPC) - Mexican oil producer Petróleos Mexicanos (Pemex) is circling commitments from at least 15 banks to fill an US$8bn loan, but the state-owned company is tackling a recent downgrade that has lenders questioning how much exposure they want in the two-part credit facility.
Fitch Ratings cut Pemex's credit rating one notch to BB+ on June 6 one day after lowering sovereign parent Mexico to BBB from BBB+. A similar move from either Moody's Investors Service or S&P Global Ratings would trigger a clause in the loan facility that increases pricing on the US$8bn deal to 300bp over Libor from 235bp, banking sources said.
Pemex, which has battled declining oil production levels for a decade, now faces added external threats such as its government's trade tensions with the US, domestic policy uncertainty and fiscal constraints.
Despite Pemex's promise to issue no new debt and implement cost-cutting measures, along with the added benefit of tax cuts from the government, the company has bemused investors by favoring investment into oil refining over the profitable upstream oil and gas business, such as exploration and production (E&P).
"Investors know Mexican oil reserves are low and want to see longer-term investments like E&P, whereas a new oil refinery is being done to reduce potential oil theft and achieve shorter-term results," a Latin American credit analyst said.
Lenders in the past have overlooked Pemex's burgeoning US$106.5bn debt load, and funded the company's operations as the potential for greater ancillary business and government support compensated for its high leverage.
But Pemex's planned capital investment, which is expected to fall well-short of replacing oil reserves for 2019 and 2020, coupled with an unpredictable policy framework from Mexico's left-wing administration led by Andrés Manuel López Obrador has undermined lender confidence in the company.
"All the banks are having internal discussions and questioning whether or not to come into this deal," a loans banker at a US lender said. "This is exposure beyond just the credit so it isn't straightforward."
Banking sources are also skeptical whether Pemex can find a large enough syndicate of lenders to spread the credit risk among the US$8bn deal, which is the largest-ever financing of its type for the company.
"It's a lot of bank finance and there are only so many banks you can go to," a second source at an international lender said. "I think the deal will get done, but it is certainly no slam dunk like Pemex deals have been in the past."
Global coordinators JP Morgan, HSBC and Mizuho officially launched the two-part transaction on May 15 and underwrote the financing with US$2.3bn tickets each, sources said. The deal, which comprises a US$2.5bn five-year term loan and US$5.5bn five-year revolving credit facility, was opened to lenders in Mexico City on June 4.
BBVA, BNP Paribas, MUFG and SMBC entered the transaction as bookrunners with US$550m tickets apiece while Bank of America Merrill Lynch joined as a mandated lead arranger (MLA) with a US$375m commitment, sources said.
Pemex has opened up the loan to potential lenders at three further levels – lead arranger, arranger and manager status. Lead arrangers are required to lend at least US$250m each, arrangers must commit US$175m apiece and those joining as managers must offer US$100m.
Lenders pick up 100bp in fees as bookrunners, MLAs snare 85bp, lead arrangers gain 70bp while arrangers and managers obtain 62.5bp and 55bp in fees, respectively.
Despite the headwinds, Pemex remains a bellwether among Latin American credit markets and is bolstered by its large scale of proven oil reserves. The company has had an average daily production of roughly 2.3m barrels of oil equivalent per day for the last 12 months that ended in March, according to a June 7 report from Moody's.
Pemex also benefits from government support, its dominant position in Mexico's energy industry and as a major exporter of crude oil to the US. (Reporting by Aaron Weinman. Editing by Michelle Sierra and Leela Parker Deo)

Water service from Settlement Canyon Irrigation Company will be shut off this Friday after dropping 30 inches per week during July.
The reservoir was down to 23 inches at the beginning of the week, said Gary Bevan, irrigation company president. Despite repeated efforts to issue restrictions aimed at cutting back on water use, Bevan said the reservoir has reached the minimum level the company is required by the state to maintain fish populations.
"We're about a month ahead of where we were last year," he said. "We never reached these levels until September last year…. Last year we didn't shut down early. Restrictions got us through. This year we went on [restrictions], and it didn't make any difference. It was dropping 30 inches a week before the restriction, and it kept dropping 30 inches after the restriction.
"It's just too excessive," he said. "We don't have that kind of water."
Bevan said that when the reservoir was originally built, the irrigation company received money from the state in exchange for an agreement that it would maintain 250 acre feet of water as a conservation pool for the fish in the area. The company continues to honor that agreement, Bevan said.
"It's just a year-by-year call," he said. "When it gets down to where it looks like it is going to harm the fish, then we have to shut it off."
The irrigation company will close off its valves after the last turn on Friday night, cutting off water service to the company's 870 Tooele customers. After that, Bevan said, the plan is to leave the shutdown in place for at least two weeks. If the reservoir recovers, then the company may restore water service.
However, after service is restored, Bevan said the company plans to enforce a strict, restricted watering schedule with $50 fines for those who water out of turn.
"We don't have unlimited water," he said. "They can't use it like we do. I don't know how to get that across to them."
While the irrigation company struggles with water supplies, it is moving forward to replace an old drainage pipeline that washed out of the canyon during the floods of the 1980s. The company hopes that the restored pipeline will channel additional water into the reservoir, increasing the supply of available water.
As of this week, the irrigation company has awarded a contract for the project to Draper-based Silver Spur, Bevan said. Though the contractor has not determined when work will begin, the contract stipulates that the project must be completed in 90 days — a timeline that should have the pipe operational by the end of October.
Bevan said the company hopes the pipeline will help bring more water into the reservoir in the coming winter.
On the other side of the valley, Lynn Taylor, watermaster for Grantsville Irrigation Company, said the Grantsville Reservoir is holding up well despite this summer's ongoing drought.
"We gave out four turns and I'm 90 percent sure that's all there is going to be," he said. "We're a foot or so below last year, and that's all we gave last year."
Taylor said the Grantsville Irrigation Company operates on a slightly different system than the Tooele company. Instead of issuing watering schedules and restrictions, Grantsville Irrigation allots each user a certain amount of water up front, and then can grant additional portions of water as conditions permit. Other than that, he said, it's the customer's responsibility to decide how they want to use their water.
For those who go over their allotted portions, Taylor said the irrigation company imposes stiff fines that can double their normal water bill.
This week's rain has been a boon for residents and gardeners, he added.
"There shouldn't be anyone watering their lawns and gardens for the next couple of days," he said. "We got a half inch in town yesterday, and a quarter inch the day before, so that helped quite a bit."
While the last week's rainfall is unusual for this time of year, the National Weather Service has not attributed the increased precipitation to El Nino. The weather service has predicted a 70–80 percent chance of an El Nino, a temperature anomaly in the Pacific Ocean that brings above-normal precipitation to the western side of North and South America, this fall. However, El Nino has yet to fully develop this year.

The ingredients that make up the familiar story of the Good Samaritan are found on the pages of daily
newspapers. There is really nothing new under the sun. In this story, Christ talked about
violence—and we certainly have plenty of that today.
He talked about crime, racial discrimination, and hatred. In this parable we see neglect and unconcern,
but we also see love and mercy. The person who says the Bible is not relevant to our modern world
has never read this parable. We know what the parable says, but what does it mean?
Some ancient scholars tried to make everything in this story symbolize something, but this approach
took them on a detour. The story was given because a lawyer (an expert in Jewish law) asked Jesus,
"And who is my neighbor?"
He was really trying to rescue himself from losing an argument, but Jesus used his question as an
opportunity to teach an important truth: namely, you cannot separate your relationship with God from
your relationship with your fellowman.
One act of ministry, motivated by Christian compassion, not only pleases the Lord and helps the
needy—it also blesses the one ministering. The results go on forever.
Verse for today: "For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; thou shalt love thy neighbor as
thyself" (Galatians 5:14).
Consider: Matthew 19:19; Luke 16:15.
Action assignment: Read the parable of the Good Samaritan in Luke 10:25-37. Today, determine in
what way you can act upon Jesus' command, "Go, and do thou likewise."

Curious about a Guild I had never seen in person, let alone owned, I snagged this guitar through Craigslist for a reasonable price with the sole intention of writing it up here.
The Guild S-275 is a bit different than most of the Guilds I own while also being a typical Guild. It's a very interesting guitar in that it seems to be designed to appeal to both Strat and Les Paul buyers in the hopes of being the best of both worlds. Does it measure up? Let's see how it fares as I put it through my normal evaluation routine.
