About five years after the board decided to privatize garbage pickup, District Two Super- visor Tim Johnson said the county is taking SPECIAL EVENING over the task once again to provide residents with better service. “I had no issues in the area I represent, be- cause Ridgeland and Madison already provide service,” he said. “But two supervisors had real concerns about garbage not being picked up in their districts.” Johnson was referring to Paul Griffin and Karl Banks. He said each has a large portion of unincorporated territory in their districts. He said residents that will likely be affected by the switch reside north of Gluckstadt Road. Comptroller Mark Houston said the county has about 14,000 customers who receive pick- up once a week, a number that’s dropped since the city of Madison’s annexation last summer. The annexation, which was made of- ficial by the Mississippi Supreme Court on Ju- ly 13, 2008, brought roughly 2,000 residences into the city.

THE BOARD signed a five-year, multimil- lion-dollar contract with Red River in 2004 to provide service to residents at approximately $9.64 per house, per month. In all, Houston said the county doles out about $134,900 a month for the service. Recycling is far less ex- pensive, about $2.15 per house, but only 5,000 households participate.

Speaks to Rotary Northsider Joel Fyke (left) spoke to the Rotary Club of North Jackson about his upcoming year-long scholar- ship to be a Rotary ambassador in Madrid, Spain, starting this September. Fyke was recently graduated from Ole Miss in international law and studied in Guatemala where he met his wife Gabby. He said the Rotary scholarship is the best kept secret in overseas study grants even though it does not have the reputa- tion of a Rhodes or Fullbright scholarship. He noted that the Rotary scholarship stresses the ambassadorial role as much as academics. “World peace and under- standing is a loftier goal than a degree,”Fyke told the club members. He specializes in “rule of law issues,” something very relevant to his experience in Guatemala. “They dream about having a system like we have in which the people actually follow the law,” he said. “I look forward to being an ambassador for my city, distict and state.”He is shown with his wife Gabby and his parents Dr. and Mrs. Joel Fyke. business selected for Best Lawyers included Charles P. notes Adams Jr., Holmes S.

Chris Bounds with Brandon’s 113th Military Police Unit explained the functions and duties of the military Humvee which was driven on campus for the children to see. “This particular Humvee is used for civilian tactics during events such as hurricanes, tornadoes and other dis- asters that affect the state,” said Bounds, a veteran of the Iraq war. In addition the children and adolescents participated in an interactive lecture with Randy Newell, Nick Brown and Ben McCurdy, conservation officers with the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks. The officers discussed various wild animals and natural resources, answered questions from the audience, and dis- played alligator skulls and a giant turtle shell for the chil- dren to see and hold.

MEMBERS OF THE club served catfish, chicken, coleslaw, baked beans, corn nuggets, French fries, hush- puppies, cake and iced tea. “The kids asked for and were allowed seconds and thirds,” said Billy Beard, “something they don’t get at their daily meals.” Rosenblatt

Is there an oversatura- tion of attorneys in the Jackson market? “Most practicing attorneys in any jurisdiction would say there are too many lawyers. The economy has reduced the workload in certain areas and has caused some attor- neys to expand the work they do or shift practice areas.
