  • A Story of Vision and Persistence the Mississippi Arts & Entertainment Experience’S 20-Year Journey from Idea to Launch
    1 A Story of Vision and Persistence The Mississippi Arts & Entertainment Experience’s 20-Year Journey from Idea to Launch By Philip Shirley An idea takes root to showcase the artists, musicians and performers of Mississippi America’s contributions to the world of music—especially in the forms of blues, jazz, gospel and country music—are unquestioned. And the origins of those contributions can be traced by musicologists to Mississippi. The roots of the blues and gospel run deep in Mississippi and jazz, rock and roll, and country music owe much of their success to these early American music genres. Mississippi’s musical heritage is in many ways unmatched. It is against this backdrop of musical history that The Mississippi Arts & Entertainment Experience--fondly known as The MAX—began to explore the entire range of contributions of its artists and performers. The MAX opens its doors to showcase the amazing achievements of Mississippians that have influenced artists and performers on the world stage. Music, dance, visual arts, quilting, literature and storytelling, theatre, pottery, puppetry, folk arts and other forms of arts and entertainment help weave a rich tapestry from the arts culture in Mississippi. Mississippians recognize their writers, artists and performers with the same degree of honor they feel for their doctors and nurses, government officials, and community leaders. This is the story of The Mississippi Arts & Entertainment Experience. It’s the story of a group of people with a shared vision for how the arts make communities and a state stronger. It’s a story of persistence through adversity over two decades to bring The MAX to the public.

Nick Mungas when he saw the number 176 on the Call jet in addition to the name of Cmdr. Bryan “Betsy” Ross. At that moment he knew the jet must have a 601-679-2526 patriotic paint scheme. Mungas, commodore of Training Air Wing One onboard Naval Air Station Meridian, knew exactly who to call on to design the paint scheme, and Lt. Scott “Hooker” Hook, who holds a master’s degree in architecture, was excited to take on the challenge. “Capt. Mungas had the idea and although we repainted aircraft 101, Off Base we originally planned on painting 176 which plays on 1776 (and a nod to the mother of the first American flag design, Betsy Ross herself). That led us to Photo courtesy North Island incorporate the original 13-star flag in the design,” Hook said. “I drew up multiple Public Affairs Office Military iterations, trying to keep the design within the areas normally painted orange, until we came up with something we liked.” Appreciation =Jet, page 10 Day Meridian Community College March 30, 2 p.m. Baseball Game Scaggs Field NAS conducts Naval Security Force training Free admission for retirees, active duty and reservists with ID.

  • (Re)Building Downtown Report and Suggested Next Steps Building Blocks for Sustainable Communities Program
    Fitchburg, Massachusetts (Re)Building Downtown Report and Suggested Next Steps Building Blocks for Sustainable Communities Program To: Mayor Stephen L. DiNatale Mary Jo Bohart, Director of Economic Development Tom Skwierawski, Executive Director of Community Development From: John Robert Smith, Smart Growth America Chris Zimmerman, Smart Growth America Brian Lutenegger, Smart Growth America Date: January 16, 2017 Executive Summary Pursuant to our technical assistance award with the City of Fitchburg, this Memorandum constitutes Smart Growth America’s final report summarizing the recent (Re)Building Downtown workshop, and suggesting possible Next Steps the city could take to craft a vision for the future development of the downtown focus areas addressed during the workshop. John Robert Smith and Chris Zimmerman, representing Smart Growth America (SGA), met with local leaders and residents on September 19 and 20, 2017 to provide assistance via the (Re)Building Downtown tool, supported by a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Office of Sustainable Communities. Downtown Fitchburg, after experiencing declines typical of many former manufacturing cities, today is beginning to come back to life. With vacant downtown storefronts reopening and transit-oriented development planned around the intermodal transportation facility, downtown is coming back to life. Fitchburg State University is also participating as a partner in the revitalization by purchasing the former theater block for revitalization, including several storefronts. However, there remain concerns by some in the community that downtown’s distance from a major highway could stymie the redevelopment potential. For all of these reasons, the (Re)Building Downtown workshop was an ideal fit for Fitchburg at this time to help revitalize the “heart” of the community.
