The Pearl River Valley Water Supply District issued the following statement.
The Pearl River Valley Water Supply District said Tuesday that it will reopen its parks and all related facilities at Barnett Reservoir beginning Thursday at 9 a.m. in accordance with Gov. Tate Reeves’ announcement on May 4.
Lakeshore Park and Pelahatchie Shore Park in Rankin County and Old Trace Park in Ridgeland will be open from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily, and visitors will be required to follow the Governor’s social-distancing guidelines. Those guidelines are currently no gatherings of more than 10 indoors, and no more than 20 for outdoor activities, plus maintaining six feet of separation.
Included in the openings are:
* dog parks at both Lakeshore and Old Trace Parks.
* disc golf courses at Old Trace and Pelahatchie Shore Parks.
* boat ramp at Pelahatchie Shore Park.
* walking trails at all parks.
* fishing piers at Rankin County Landing, and Mississippi Highways 43 and 471.
Social distancing rules apply at all facilities.
The Governor’s order did not include reopening sand bars on the upper river area of Barnett Reservoir between Highway 43 and the low head dam. Those areas remain closed until further notice.
No camping permits will be issued for sand bars.
Boaters are reminded that social distancing guidelines still apply. Boats are limited to two people, or up to half the capacity rating of the boat, whichever is greater.

Trollfest '09
Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.
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. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.
Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.
Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!
This is definitely a Beaver production.

Trollfest '07
Jackson Jambalaya is the home of Trollfest '07. Catch this great event which promises to leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Sonjay Poontang and his band headline the night with a special steel cage, no time limit "loser must leave town" bout between Alan Lange and "Big Cat"Donna Ladd following afterwards. Kamikaze will perform his new song F*** Bush, he's still a _____. Did I mention there was no referee?

Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.
There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets. Tackleberry will be on hand for an autograph session. KIM Waaaaaade will be passing out free titles and deeds to crackhouses formerly owned by The Wood Street Players.

It's bullshit that these were closed in the first place.
I have a family of four and we'll ALL be in the boat this weekend - what are they going to do, demand that one of my daughters and wife wait at the dock while we ride two at a time? Nope.
I agree with 6:55 that its wrong that outdoor spaces were closed.
I agree... it's total B.S.
However mayor ludumba is keeping Jackson parks closed until further notice. I wanted to play in my men's 40 and over league but no can do as Parham bridges is closed dispite every other city opening up. Our mayor is a complete dumb @ss... good thing he has a government job. I practiced law for 23 years... I can't imagine him cutting it in private practice.
Grand kid:
"What did you do in the great Covid War of 2020" ?
Grand Father:
"Well son, I picked up beer cans on flag Island".
7:15 if it’s immediate family, as in live together, the half capacity does not apply to you.
7:15...The order is 2 to a boat OR 1/2 the rated capacity of the boat. Very few boats have a capacity of 4 or less, but you go girl!
What is happening to the zoo and animals?
It is apsaid the virus lives 90 seconds in 75 degree air with high humidity.
Don’t we know that the bureaucrats know what’s best for us?
7:40 PM Just another reason to move out of Jackson. Some of these cities are basically telling people... "Move out of the city"
Also, before the Constitution was written, America faced another outbreak. It was killing 50% of the people that were infected. A far more deadlier virus than Covid 19.
Yet, those Rights were still written down. Our government was created with an outbreak in mind, and they still chose freedom... or as one pussy on here say "Freedumb"
We need to get the economy moving again so people can afford to pay rent. All these landlores are about to be sued by people like this guy. Sue your GRANDMOTHER
Help me understand the rationale for the 20 person rule. if you can join a gathering of 20 people, why not 40?
Oh, 9:07, you've obviously NOT read the boating capacity rules labels affixed to the inside of every vessel. Most boats are NOT pontoons or yachts. Most are 17 footers or less.
I would not be playing league tennis right now. No way. Balls carry germs.
Parks closed in Jackson...this should reduce the number of BBQ shootings, right?
And 5:41 "balls carry germs" I see what you did there...
Yes. Please keep EVERYTHING shut down until there is a 100% effective vaccine, treatment and cure with ZERO side effects. And while you're at it, make sure there is a 100% effective vaccine, treatment or cure for anything and everything a person may catch, and while you're at it - make sure you stay home until there is ZERO chance you get in a car accident, slip and fall, or are hurt by ANYTHING. Life involves risk, if you are sick or in a high-risk group STAY THE FUCK AT HOME, the rest of us should be able to go on with our lives.
We are all going broke complying with these ill conceived, draconian orders.
@7:04 The government can literally print unlimited money for nukes and submarines. They can print it for us to stay safe at home. It is not like that paper is really worth anything. There is no gold in fort knox.
@7:39, let me know when I can personally print money without a knock on my door from the Secret Service. I was having the best year ever, and I was on track to retire all of my company's debt by year's end. I've had to furlough all 5 of my employees, and I'm begging creditors for some leniency. My business has been destroyed by this bullshit and evidently I don't qualify for the "printed money" you allude to. What you fail to realize is that this whole "crisis" is being leveraged by the far left to implement universal basic income and create widespread dependency on the government.
7:04 You have absolutely no clue how money works, and if we listen to you, we'll are starve to death.
@9:55 AM
You about to starve to death anyway. No $1000 bonus is worth dying for. them food plants gonna all be shut down soon.
@9:35 AM
BOO HOO they took away yo white priviledge! How does it feel to be disenfranchised by the state?
10:11 AM You know what they say, Snitches love government checks.
7:39 is right. You know who is completely unaffected by Covid-19 or hurt by trillions of dollars with wet ink? Defense Contractors.
Yep 7:39 is right they printing now to stimulate the economy and will burn it once we see inflation.
These premature openings will result in additional and unnecessary deaths, because they assume you rednecks will have the sense to be cautious both inside and outside.
11:48, yes, let's just leave things shut down indefinitely.
How does these openings affect Long Term Care centers, where half of the deaths are derived from?
Let's just keep everything closed up until there is a vaccine and everyone is vaccinated in a couple of years to only have the virus mutate into another strain that the vaccine doesn't work for and we have to keep everything closed for a couple of more years until a vaccine for the new strain appears.
Or, how about all of the chicken littles just stay inside and let the rest of the world move on. We lowered the curve, this is not the new normal and will never be
