Hayes Gets Jersey Retired

CSENews and goracers.com

Former Humboldt High School basketball standout and Murray State University Hall of Famer (2016), Ashley Nichole Hayes had her MSU jersey retired last Saturday at halftime of the Lady Racer’s Missouri Valley Conference opener against Valparaiso.

“All I can say...I’m truly in awe,” said Hayes in a Facebook post. “I remember back in WNBA training camp, the first exhibition game, LA Sparks in Uncasville, Connecticut...my agent said, ‘don’t be out there in awe. I wasn’t in awe, but I was nervous... the moment all the basketball experiences come together and you’re “there” on the court.”

Hayes was a big part of the greatest period of Racer women’s basketball from 2005-09. She was the first Racer to win consecutive OVC Player of the Year awards in 2008 and 2009 and one of only three in P 4

COLD WEATHER CATCH: BIG CRAPPIE

Crappie fishing is always interesting during winter and is an opportune time to catch the big one. Although it requires a bit more strategy and time the results are worth it.

While most outdoor people are hunting or packed up until spring the pressure is less. Fish are more relaxed because they have not been spooked as bad. If you can brave the conditions chances are big fish will be lurking near your hook. Try minnows in deep water near structure or drop jigs close to the bottom and try to outlast the desire to catch big numbers.

New Law Mandates Black History Lessons in Tennessee Schools

By: Sabrina Parker

As we approach honoring Dr. King’s life this month, I am heartened that through education reform, Madison County and Tennessee will move closer to the vision of justice and community he embodied.

While diverse communities shaped this region, that full picture was missing from textbooks. As Martin Luther King Jr. Day approaches soon, I am encouraged by a new law strengthening requirements for Black history education that could begin filling in those gaps.

House Bill 2106, signed into effect last year, upgrades previous legislation to mandate curriculum covering African American perspectives and culture be integrated into social studies courses for students in grades 5 through 8 across Tennessee schools. Having comprehensive Black history lessons will provide invaluable context to younger generations.

I spoke with James Johnson, Chairperson for the Jackson-Madison County School Board, to understand the local impact. He believes the changes are “far reaching” and fill a “void” - around 60% of the nearly 13,000 students in the district are African American. Previously, Black history lessons were only “embedded” in other subjects.

Under the new law, each school system will be required to teach about “Black history and culture; and the contribution of black people” in America and globally. This moves beyond previous optional recommendations and ensures a well-rounded overview of our intertwined shared history. The legislation goes into effect with new standards starting in the 2025-2026 school year.

Johnson says the law is “monumental” considering the high proportion of Black students, allowing those of all races to truly understand how we all got here. Having a structured approach could counter lingering stereotypes fostered by gaps in what’s been taught. Learning full histories gives clarity to modern challenges while upholding diversity as our strength.

Historian David Hackett Fischer’s book “African Founders” brought this need for a well-rounded view

Publisher’s Point

By Bill Marable

I normally wait till Saturday to review articles in the paper, but the social media buzz centered around

Wendy Isom Mercer’s Column

into focus for me. He detailed how enslaved Africans helped develop diverse regional cultures against their will, through the creativity and resilience with which they blended traditions. Many were brought here to work plantations and farms throughout West Tennessee.

While doing research at local libraries, I was struck by how deeply musicians like Louis Armstrong and B.B. King grasped the cultural blending that took place, combining African rhythms with Christian beliefs to yield genres like blues, jazz and gospel right here. These uniquely American art forms reached the world but germinated in the Deep South, finding deepest roots in places like Madison County through the ingenuity of enslaved peoples.

The new curriculum law could help share a fuller picture of how Madison County and Jackson came to be musically, recognizing foundations laid through immense suffering and injustice. Our distinct blended heritage is about more than just cotton - it grew from human perseverance against cruel oppression into something beautiful. All children deserve to know those intertwined roots.

According to the 1830 U.S. Census, Madison County had a population of 8,841 - of those, 4,288 (48%) were enslaved. By 1860, the total grew to 21,746 and enslaved peoples made up 10,617 (49%) of the county.

These large numbers of enslaved peoples forcibly relocated from across Africa undoubtedly helped shape everything from language to cuisine here.

Enslaved people living in Madison County, Tennessee made important contributions both economically and culturally, despite facing unimaginable hardship and injustice. Some key historical contributions include: Agriculture/farming - Enslaved laborers formed the backbone of the local plantation economy, which centered around cotton and tobacco production. They worked on the land and tended crops that generated wealth for landowners.

Construction - Both rural and urban structures were often built primarily by enslaved craftsmen, including plantation houses, barns, outbuildings. In Jackson, they constructed buildings that formed the early core of the town such as private homes, warehouses to store goods, and infrastructure.

Skilled trades - Enslaved people worked as carpenters, masons, blacksmiths, coopers, mechanics and more, providing indispensable skilled labor. Their craftsmanship lives on in some surviving historic structures.

Cultural contributions - They blended African traditions with local European ones, giving rise to new hybrid Cont’d on page 17

Wendy Isom Mercer’s Column “Socially Seen” sparked my interest and enticed me to give it an early review.

I’m glad I didn’t wait. Wendy is a phenomenal writer and I really love the way she opened the door to a progressive disease that destroys memory and other important mental functions, Alzheimer’s; and invited her audience -the readers- to join her on what became for her one of the “Best Christmas Gifts This Year Not Found Under a Tree.”

I found myself holding my breath with anticipation as she described the way her aunt tasted the first morsel of the made from scratch pound cake Wendy had personally chefed for the occasion. And then, I was just as relieved as she was when her aunt gave it her seal of approval.

Wendy’s column this last week is a testament to her love and admiration for her aunt as well as a softer, pleasant peek into a ‘Good Day’ in the life of an Alzheimer’s survivor. Bravo Wendy!

Happy to have you on the CSENEWS TEAM. And speaking of the CSENews Team, I’d like to offically welcome Sabrina Parker and Morris Merriweather to the squad.

Parker is the Founder and President of Greater Horizons and the President of the Board for Helping Hands of Middle & West Tennessee.

Her insightful and thought-provoking columns lend a gentle, yet stern opinion to a variety of topics of interest to our readers.

A former Jackson Madison County School Board member and Educator, Merriweather is as refreshing and inviting as a plate full of grandma’s soul food, offering up ‘The TakeOut’ every week.

, I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention the recent passing of our Education Contributor, Don Polley. In the last sentence, it should say, Don had an infectious personality and a passion for education that made his column a must-read for many in the community. I would also look forward to daily scriptures he would send to my phone every morning and the reassuring comments he would add. Don Polley will be missed.

Replace the Words, ‘I Want’ with ‘I AM READY’

The top 5 things that grateful living taught me in 2023

#5: Keeping a Gratitude journal is a daily practice that, over time, leads to healthy lifestyle changes. It requires only a few minutes of your time each day and begins with a simple list of things you are grateful for each day. It’s a small change that leads to BIG RESULTS!

#4: There is infinite supply and infinite possibilities right here, right now. My role is to recognize and use it to do good and keep that good flowing.

#3: My attitude of gratitude keeps me in the flow of abundance. The more grateful I am for the good I experience, the more good I have to be grateful for. It’s a continuous cycle.

#2: My health is my wealth, and everything I think, say, and do is an investment in my well-being. Therefore, each day, I must invest wisely.

#1: The most powerful lesson that living grateful taught me in 2023 is to replace the words “I want” with the words “I AM READY.” There is power in the words “I am.” They are two simple words that can shape our reality, impact our thoughts and actions, and define us as individuals. The words that follow “I am” can empower us, or they can tear us down. As A.L. Kriselman puts it: “ The words “I AM” are potent words; be careful what you hitch them to. The thing you’re claiming has a way of reaching back and claiming you.”

The Takeout

By Morris Merriweather

The chef had A Dream In 2023 that these should be 2024 New Year

Resolutions:

1. We as a people will not rest until all elementary students can read on grade level.

2. We as a people will not eat at anyone’s table until everyone is served justice, regardless of the fork they gave us. Blacks will not eat at the table of racism to just be accepted.

3. We will not allow nor accept our Black kids to become thugs in our communities and do nothing so we can be accepted by Master in order to sit at the table with them.

But refusing to acknowledge the chef of the Takeout because he only serves the Truth and Master won’t let him at his table.

4. I will only attend and be a member of a Bible-based church and not tithe for the entertainment.

5. I will not socialize with a people that allow our first Black president to attend an all-white Harvard Law School, but treat him like a thirdgrade dropout.

I Have A Dream. To be continued.

READER WRITES. . .

THANK YOU

I have been sick to the point I was delirious. I had forgot that we had to surprise another Giraffe.

And here’s the clincher: when we use the word “I am” to build us up, we must be ready to move our feet, be ready when the universe serves us up what we need to live our dreams.

As I move into 2024, here are my “I AM” affirmations: I AM READY to evolve into the best version of Myrtle D. Russell that I can be.

I AM READY to continue spreading the word

I AM READY to allow the “Wings of Gratitude” to guide me every step of the way, one day and one small change at a time.

So, what are your intentions for 2024? What words are you ready to place behind the words “I AM?” Are you ready to make the small change to live your dreams? Need help getting started? Contact me at smallchange@myrtlerussell.com Catch up on my blogs at https://myrtlerussell.com/blog

Bolivar Native Jaron Lockridge Creates Feature Films in West TN

Movie Series Based in West Tennessee

By Wendy Isom Mercer

Bolivar native Jaron Lockridge is a popular independent filmmaker steadily working towards building his own film community and production empire in West Tennessee. (Lockridge said he is following “Tyler Perry’s method” when it comes to the blueprint for successful self-made filmmaker moguls.)

Lockridge’s recently released movie, “Betray” is a romantic thriller set in West Tennessee. The movie released in December was filmed between Bolivar, Jackson, and Memphis. It’s a dramatic cautionary tale about the tragic consequences that one married couple faces when honest communication between them comes to a halt, and they instead obsess over their individual pursuits and desires.

The film, “Betray” is a very stark reminder about the real dangers of making decisions prompted by lust. Since this film centers around adult themes including infidelity, it is only for adult audiences 18 and up.

I watched the film on Amazon Prime last week. Be prepared for multiple plot twists in this movie. Also, be prepared to recognize several West Tennessee landmarks and specific references to Jackson in the film. That was a special highlight for me. It was a pleasant surprise to see a movie that even referenced one of my favorite Jackson brunch places by name. The fictional husband character

SOCIALLY SEEN AROUND WEST TN

in the movie also has a connection to Lane College. (Ok. Let me stop there. I don’t want to give too much of the storyline away.)

In addition to filming his movies in and around the Hub City, the majority of Lockridge’s talented cast and crew also have roots in West Tennessee. Camille Shavon, the owner and operator of the Hair Expressions salon, served as the key hair and makeup artist for the movie cast. She was also credited as a producer on the film. In addition to that, several of the movie scenes were filmed in her salon. Kudos to Lockridge for using his media platform to help elevate talented artists from West Tennessee! Lockridge and his wife, Amber, strive to showcase quality filmmaking in West Tennessee. Amber operates as assistant director on film projects and handles scheduling. For Lockridge, the entire filmmaking process typically takes anywhere from 8 months to a year.

In 2016, Lockridge started his own production company, Misguided Perceptions Media Group, that is based in Jackson. Writing a stage play script in drama class at Bolivar Central High School is what initially lit the spark for Jaron’s filmmaking career. He is grateful for his Theater Arts teacher, Deborah Hodge.

As far back as Lockridge can remember, he said he has always had a “God-given gift, an active mind and active imagination.”

Stay tuned for more casting calls and future film projects by Lockridge by following the Jaron Lockridge Facebook page or visiting his website https://misguidedperceptions.net When you watch his films on Amazon, Lockridge encourages everyone to log on to the Amazon app or website to leave a review. Those reviews help his IMDb data and helps his movie reach more streaming platforms.

Speaking of platforms, Jaron Lockridge also has a Youtube Channel you can follow. If you Google him, you will see him on multiple social media platforms.

Also look out for his upcoming series, “The Stix” that is set to premiere in mid-February. “The Stix” is about a

group of narcotics investigators fighting drug trafficking in rural West Tennessee.

Lockridge works as a police officer for the City of Jackson.

For Lockridge, between work and everyday life, “it’s not hard to find inspiration” for film ideas.

Sincerely and Socially Seen, Wendy Isom Mercer

PRESS RELEASE FROM STEPHANIE GRAHAM, CIVILIAN PUBLIC INFORMATION OFFICER, JACKSON POLICE DEPARTMENT:

ASIA MCMILLIAN-WHITTAKER RIPS BOYFRIEND’S DREADS OUT DURING ARGUMENT OVER AMAZON FLEX

12/27/2023

By E.Z Emerson

JACKSON, Tenn. — The Jackson Police Department initiated an investigation into a series of convenience store robberies that started on December 6th, 2023. The suspects continued their criminal activities in Madison County, the City of Lexington in Henderson County, and the City of Henderson in Chester County until December 27th, 2023. On the same day, five suspects were caught in Jackson, TN around 8:45 pm, after robbing a gas station in Henderson, TN at approximately 8:00 pm. A Madison County Deputy noticed the suspect vehicle off Harts Bridge Rd and followed it into the city limits, where a coordinated traffic stop was carried out. All five suspects were apprehended without incident. Three adults and two juveniles have been charged in connection with eight out of the eleven robberies that took place.

Law enforcement agencies, including the Jackson Police Department, Madison County Sheriff’s Department, Lexington Police Department, Henderson Police Department, the 26th Judicial Drug Task Force, the West Tennessee Drug Task Force, the ATF, and the FBI conducted a collaborative investigation that led to the arrests. The investigation is ongoing, and more information will be released as soon as it concludes.

26-year-old Asia McMillan-Whitaker and her boyfriend, Henry Lee Mitchell, had a domestic scuffle at 11th Avenue North on December 23rd. Mitchell talked to the officers as they arrived and advised them that he and McMillan-Whitaker argued while working Amazon Flex. Then, she pulled him out of the vehicle by his hair, ripping several dreads out. A physical struggle ensued, and she continued to pull his hair and punch him repeatedly. Officers observed the dreads on the ground and spoke with McMillan-Whitaker, who gave a similar account of events, admitting to pulling his dreads when he refused to get out of her vehicle. She was taken into custody for two counts of domestic assault.

Asia C. McMillian-Whittaker was booked into the Metro Nashville Jail on December 23rd, charged with two counts of domestic assault. A judicial commissioner set her bond at $3,500, and the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office gave her pre-trial release from their facility.

New Law Mandates

Cont’d from page 8

American art forms like blues, spirituals, cuisine and more through their ingenuity and desire to maintain family and cultural ties.

Economic role - Beyond agriculture, enslaved artisans in towns worked in trades vital to local commerce such as tanneries, blacksmith shops, lumber mills and building maintenance that supported surrounding plantations.

Some key buildings constructed by enslaved peoples in Madison County include the Oaklands mansion and other surviving plantation houses, many of the earliest residences and commercial buildings in downtown Jackson, plus infrastructure like roads, bridges etc. that developed the county. Their involuntary labor was economically exploited but profoundly shaped the region.

Records also show many volunteered military services during the Civil War from Union occupied sections, contributing to the ultimate end of slavery despite facing reprisals. Their legacies and what they built deserve recognition.

While gaps in older curriculum cultivated misunderstandings, thankfully new laws and engaging local scholars are starting to fill them in. However, troubling disparities indicate there is still progress to be made. According to recent FBI data, Black men are incarcerated at over 5 times the rate of whites in Tennessee – one of the highest in the U.S.

With over 30% of the state prison population identifying as Black despite only comprising around 17% of the overall population, systemic inequities clearly persist. Statistics from the Tennessee Department of Correction show in 2021, Black people made 28% of prisoners but only 17% of Tennessee’s population. Here in Madison County, the problems are comparable.

These disproportionate figures show the ongoing impacts of historical disadvantages, from lack of access to wealth and quality education. Only with truth and understanding can real solutions emerge. By exposing young minds to robust Black history lessons contextualizing these challenges, hopefully compassion and change can grow.

Representative Johnny Shaw, who sponsored HB 2106, believes the updated standards can encourage young minds to celebrate our national diversity. “When we share the full spectrum of historical voices that make America, it inspires unity and counters prejudice,” Shaw said.

Studies also show teaching Black history positively impacts all students’ self-esteem and engagement, regardless of background. A richer, truthful account of Americans united through shared hopes and struggles despite divisions of the past inspires the better angels of our nature. It nurtures citizenship to strengthen community.

As we approach honoring Dr. King’s life this month, I am heartened that through education reform, Madison County and Tennessee will move closer to the vision of

justice and community he embodied. Our work is not done, but this new law strengthens foundations for an even brighter future embracing full truth and inclusion.
