Artists have until Tuesday, Nov. 1, 2022 to submit sculpture proposals to the Jackson Public Arts Commission (JPAC) for the MLK Drive Roundabout. The roundabout at S. MLK Drive and E. Morrell Street was completed in 2020 and is a gateway to Jackson’s south side neighborhood and MLK Corridor. JPAC is commissioning a full-size sculpture that represents the vibrant future and vitality of the City of Jackson and its south side neighborhood, as well as Martin Luther King Jr’s legacy. This new initiative for MLK Drive is the latest roundabout sculpture project for JPAC. The commission previously facilitated sculpture installations in the Fourth Street and Kibby Road roundabouts, along with the eastern gateway to Downtown Jackson on Cooper Street.

Rogers Joins 2,000 Assist Club at Western

By Jeff Steers JTV Sports (September 18, 2022 8:00 AM) Western High School volleyball player Brynn Rogers did not know why her teammates were congratulating her after a point during the Lumen Christi/Western match at home on Wednesday. Then the sign went up. Rogers had just eclipsed the 2,000 assist club at Western – an exclusive club with only Rogers and Hayden Fortress. The Panthers went on to win the match 3-0 against their rivals for Jackson.  “My teammates just started running up to me and I am like what is going on,” Rogers said. “I didn’t know what was happening.” To make the accomplishment more amazing, Rogers and her classmates are part of the COVID kids who lost a number of games during their sophomore season due to COVID 19. She has started as the setter at Western since her sophomore season. The senior plays the sport all year, participating in the MICA League out of Concord during the winter. “I love the friends I have been able to make through volleyball,” Rogers said. “They all act like a family.” Rogers is responsible for getting to the second shot of a rally in an attempt to set up a…
