The pediatric orthopaedic team at Campbell Clinic knows kids from head to toe.

When my son broke his ankle during a high school soccer game, we headed straight to Campbell Clinic. They have a team of doctors fully dedicated to treating simple and complex pediatric orthopaedic problems. Campbell Clinic is great with kids – from infants to teenagers – and knows how to treat a wide range of injuries and conditions. In fact, Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital chose Campbell Clinic as their orthopaedic partner.

Today, my soccer star is feeling better, and back on the field.

Salutations and SuchYou may have noticed a new face on the page this month. My name is Casey Hilder

and I’ve been the managing editor for the past two years. You may have read my

writing or seen some of my photos published in the past, maybe you’ve even caught

me covering one of the great local events across the MidSouth. But now, I’ve been

granted the opportunity to lead our dedicated team of writers, photographers and

creative staff members to continue publishing this amazing and fun magazine.

That said, being an editor can be a tough gig. With a diverse regional publication

like ours, the staff has to dive headlong into things they know little to nothing

about and make a learning experience out of it. In my case, it’s fashion. I’ve never

been the sharpest dresser — more Don Williams than Don Draper, if you catch my

drift. Luckily, I have a team of extremely creative stylists in the dynamic duo of

Maggie Vinzant and Alexandra Nicole, and their major contributions have helped

this issue of Click be the absolute best it could ever be. Check out the fruits of their

labor in a pair of features highlighting the best local looks for fall (p. 56) and beauty

tips for readers of all sorts (p. 69).

Moreover, we’ve got some fascinating content from our monthly writers, including

a pair of features that casts a spotlight on the most moving books (p. 16) and musical

offerings (p. 22) to seek out this fall. Be sure to check out our exclusive interview

with Lisa Patton, a sweet-as-molasses Southern author who will be speaking at

this month’s Mid-South Book Fest event. Special thanks go out to the volunteers at

Literacy Mid-South for organizing this fantastic gathering for a good cause.

And by the time this issue hits stands, we’ll be hard at work on October’s annual

Southern Sportsmans’ issue, one of the more unique and popular compilations

we publish and a personal favorite of mine. But for now, enjoy the onset of cool

weather and this month’s gift of fantastic and fashionable content.

Bringing Back DixieSouthern author Lisa Patton returns home to Memphis to participate in Literacy Mid-South’s upcoming Mid-South

Book Fest, a celebration a literacy and learning for all ages

Interview by CASEY HILDER

people


up front

Click Magazine: How did you get started in your path from budding author to speaker at this month’s event?Lisa Patton: Well, my first book, Whistlin’ Dixie in a Nor’easter,

took me 14 years from idea to publication — so that was a

rather long time. Everybody in town knew I was writing a

book because I had been talking about it for so long. Until

my sister came to me one day and said, “Lisa Patton you may

not not finish this book because you’ve told everyone, and

if you don’t, it’s embarrassing!” And she was right. But, you

know, to write a book in your spare time as a single mother,

it really blows through the minutes. I would write whenever

I could — on the soccer field at halftime, waiting in the car-

pool line, whenever. I had a full-time job working as Michael

MacDonald’s assistant at the time and he encouraged me to

pull my book out from its safe little hiding place in the drawer

and so I really picked it back up. My first story was spawned

from actually being an innkeeper in Vermont. It’s the story of

a Southern girl from Memphis packing up and moving north.

CM: Let’s talk about Leelee Satterfield, the protagonist of your books. Many of her experiences, such as her big move up north, seem to mirror your own. How much of her is based upon what you’ve gone through in recent years? LP: I think the old adage “Write what you know” fits best.

I mean, you only know what you know. And so for me and

many people who write their first novel, it can take on a sort

of semi-autobiographical twist. But not all of the things in

there are true events. I really did run an inn in Vermont and

there were certain elements, like the opening with Leelee’s

little dog dying during a New Year’s Eve dinner, were based on

things I had gone through. So I took a lot of things that were

really strange or funny that happened to me and thought,

“This is it. This is my story.”

CM: How do you adapt a very personal and peculiar story like your own and make it appealing to the masses? LP: I think my strength, especially in that first book, is humor.

I used to be an actress throughout high school and college

and I think that comedic timing is the most important part.

I think that was one of the big draws of the books. Also, I try

to be really honest and the books are really fun. I think most

women like to read them to take a little time off and laugh.

CM: Who are some major influences on your work?LP: I’d definitely have to say Fannie Flagg; she’s my greatest

inspiration. She writes good, clean, fun and funny books. She

tops the list, but I also love Rebecca Wells and her Divine

Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood. I love to read people who I think

are so much better at this than me to learn and digest what

they do.

CM: There’s a lot of love for Memphis, your home city, in your books. What are some of your favorite places to visit when you’re back home?

SOUTHERN AUTHOR LISA PATTON IS THE WRITER BEHIND A TRIO OF ACCLAIMED SOUTHERN novels known as the Dixie Trilogy, comprised of Whistlin’ Dixie in a Nor’easter, Yankee Doodle Dixie and

Southern as a Second Language, all of which follow the humorous adventures of modern Southern Belle

Leelee Satterfield. This month, Patton visits Memphis as a presenting speaker at Literacy Mid-South’s upcoming

Mid-South Book Fest, which will be held from September 25-28 at various venues across the city.


LP: I set all of my books in Memphis

because I love Memphis. The city will

always own my heart, and there’s so

much heart and soul in that city. When

I’m back, I always have to go get spinach

and a barbecue pizza from Pete & Sam’s

restaurant, a rotel burger from Belmont

Grille, cheese dip from Pancho’s, barbe-

cue from somewhere – there’s so much

good food there! Of course, I always

have to visit all my old friends for a fun

get-together. We’re all childhood friends

who grew up attending Hutchinson

Academy. The four of us recently saw

Crosby, Stills and Nash at the Orpheum.

CM: Would you like to share any plans regarding your upcoming fourth book?LP: My next work won’t be part of the

Dixie series, which ended with Southern

as a Second Language. I can’t say much,

but it’ll be told in third person and set

in Memphis. It’s different from my usual

work, and I’m really excited about it. It’s

about three different girls with wildly

different personalities and how their

lives intersect, with the common thread

being a garden club that they’re all

associated with. As anybody down here

knows, garden clubs can be really funny

sometimes. You’ll probably see it in a

year or so.


FEW DISHES DIVIDE A TABLE LIKE GRITS CAN.

Southerners will debate about the best way to cook up

the sometimes savory, sometimes sweet staple until

they’re red in the face. Georgeanne Ross — the Original “Grit

Girl” of Oxford, Mississippi — levels the field, though, with

organic grits straight from the farm.

Ross, who originally hails from East Memphis, fell into

milling after her husband, Freddie, restored a 1910 Meadows

Stone Grist Mill and 1912 Fairbanks Morse flywheel engine.

She started milling corn meal as a hobby and was happy to

give it away, but when a chef got his hands on her product,

the Original Grit Girl was in business. “This was around when

people were starting to go organic,” Ross says. “He wanted us

to do something with it and gave me five names to go see, and

it took off from there.”

With her product in tow, Ross would go to the backdoors of

local restaurants. “I was real shy when I first started,” Ross

says. “I was just a bookkeeper. When they opened the door, I’d

just say ‘I’m the Grit Girl,’ leave my product and go on,” she

says with a laugh.

Word spread, and chefs all over the country were calling in

for orders. Even now, with 86 restaurants on her order sheet,

Ross says she doesn’t do any advertising. All her business

food

comes from chefs talking, people finding

her online and diners who taste a dish

made with one of her products. “It’s the

chefs that make my product dance,” Ross

says. “They’re all just super talented.”

Ross currently mills grits, polenta, corn

meal and corn flour every two weeks.

She and her husband take 5,000 pounds

of yellow corn that they get from a

Mississippi co-op and spend Sunday

morning at the gristmill. She says she’s

had to change her corn supplier a few

times, but she always vets the product

herself before using it. “I’ve had lots

of co-ops be mad at me, but if I, not a

trained chef, can taste the difference, I

won’t use it.”

The yellow corn she uses is higher in

starch than white corn, but it allows the

product to soak in more seasoning. “It

grabs the flavor so well, you can really

make it your own,” Ross says.

Everything is hand-bagged in two to

five pound bags to make sure it stays

fresh — there are no preservatives

added, so it’s all straight from the mill.

“I used to weigh everything, but I’ve

done it enough times that I know about

where I should stop,” she says.“I’d rather

be over than under.”

Ross isn’t just focused on creating

an all-natural product. And although

there’s a wealth of orders to meet, she

makes a concentrated effort to keep

up with her customers. Ross has been

known to help new restaurateurs by

supplying free product to help them

establish themselves, and she’s watched

plenty of young chefs grow with their

businesses. “I’m not a last-name girl,”

Ross says. “They’re just like my kids to

me. I’ve got some chefs who aren’t from

the South, so I’ll send them something

from the South like a can of Crisco or

fried pies so they can try it.”

When she can, she and her husband,

Freddie, like to visit restaurants she

sells to, and since she conducts most of

her business by phone and email, she

says most don’t recognize her as their

Grit Girl, which suits her just fine. “I feel

so lucky,” Ross says. “We just fell into

this at the right time.”


THE BIRTHPLACE OF ROCK ‘N’ ROLL, MEMPHIS HAS A

long history boasting musical legends across all genres.

From hill country blues to soul, there’s no shortage of

talented musicians who have made Memphis their home.

Here are the some of the best sounds from a selection of

seasoned locals.

Amy LaVere | Runaway’s Diary

Known for her poignant take on timeless truths, singer-

songwriter Amy LaVere delves deeper into her autobiographical

well with Runaway’s Diary. Inspired by the singer’s own

rebellious teenage road trip, the concept album spins a tale of

adolescent angst and winking introspection. Although LaVere

did hop on a bus from Detroit to Chicago with a friend in tow

— they lasted a few long nights before being picked up by local

authorities — Runaway’s Diary extends beyond her safe return

home and into a drifter’s imaginings.

Opening the album with a soft, steady drum beating in

sharp contrast to LaVere’s lyrical jaunt, “Rabbit” calls on the

adventures of seasoned runaway and blues musician Seasick

Steve. Caught mid-journey, LaVere’s slow-building croon

laments her naïveté while questioning her decision to leave:

“Hey Rabbit, I can’t remember why I ran, or how I got so lost,

or how to get back home now.” A feisty but telling reprise,

“Big Sister” falls prey to child-like envy and self-doubt: “But

only she could be daddy’s girl, I was the one who should’ve

been daddy’s son.” Cleverly chosen cover songs, such as

John Lennon’s “How,” call on feelings of apprehension and

defiance while filling out the 12-song storyline.

Valerie June | Pushin’ Against A Stone

Three self-released albums later, singer and multi-

instrumentalist Valerie June has made her studio debut with

Pushin’ Against A Stone. After raising nearly $16,000 through the

crowdfunding website Kickstarter, June had enough to book

studio time and collaborate with an all-star cast of producers

and musicians. Kevin Augunas, who has worked with Florence

+ the Machine, Black Keys’ front man Dan Auerbach and Peter

Sabak produced the album, blending notes from a melting

pot of artists including Booker T. Jones and Jimbo Mathus.

Recorded as close to home as Easy Eye in Nashville, and as

far as Studio H in Budapest, the album burns bridges between

genres in favor of a multi-dimensional sound.

Steeped in Southern tradition, Pushin’ Against A Stone opens

with June’s swift acoustic guitar later underscored by a

bluesy bassline and a jazzy trumpet. Minimalistic in nature,

“Workin’ Woman Blues” allows June’s raw vocals to shine

through, showcasing a richly distinctive twang. Upbeat against

a twinkling piano, “Wanna Be On Your Mind” is sweeping

in production without overtaking June’s passionate pleas.

“Tennessee Time” is a slow-moving waltz coupled with airy

vocals reminiscent of Dolly Parton. Haunting and melancholy,

“Shotgun” is a fiery testament to love gone wrong against a

skittering slide guitar. Fluctuating between bigger productions

and intimate scenes, June’s timeless tune never wavers.

Cedric Burnside | Hear Me When I Say

The Burnsides have blues in their blood. Cedric Burnside, the

grandson of blues legend R.L. Burnside, joined forces with his

younger brother, Cody, and his uncle, Garry, in 2010 to create The

Cedric Burnside Project. Now, the award-winning drummer is

keeping the music alive with the help of guitarist Trenton Ayers.

Together the duo has put a unique twist on North Mississippi

hill country blues, infusing elements of soul, funk and R&B.

Coming in at more than 40 minutes, Hear Me When I Say opens

music

with Ayers on acoustic guitar before

Burnside declares, “I was born with

the blues, and I feel she was born the

same.” Brazen at best, Burnside knows

where he stands on “Bloodstone.”

Slick prose follows on “Mean Queen,”

accentuated by Ayer’s hard-hitting

slide on the electric guitar: “People

call me a fool every day, ‘Why you let

that woman treat you that way?’ Even

though I don’t care what they say, she

ain’t got the right to do me that way.”

Burnside slows it down on “It’s Your

Life,” testifying that “Life can be clean

and smooth like a Escalade, or life can

be mean and rude like a razorblade.”

Ayers and Burnside are quick to please,

expertly weaving drums and guitar to

craft a solid set of foot-tappin’ front

porch blues.

Julian Dossett | 3 Poisons

The first artist signed to Brister Street

Records, bluesman Julian Dossett is a

jack of all trades. Brought up on blues

but gifted with a punk rock sensibility,

Dossett has crosscut multiple genres

while working to find his musical

balance. Realizing he was best suited

to sing blues, he went to work on

his debut EP 3 Poisons. Recorded at

Rocket Science Audio Studios, the

album follows the rich heritage of

the region while embracing Dossett’s

contemporary edge.

Dossett collaborated with a handful

of locals on the six-song release,

including members of the bluegrass

jam band Devil Train, reggae outfit

Chinese Connection Dub Embassy and

blues group Otis Faithful. The opening

track, “Tears In My Pockets,” carries the

weight of blues anthems past, touting

lines like “I got two left feet and not

a damn thing to call my own.” Five

minutes in length, “Mischief Blues” is a

slow tune featuring solos by a wailing

guitar and a howling harmonica

between verses. Dossett’s vocals shine

on “Black Eye Blues,” upbeat despite

the trials and tribulations of which he

sings. A concise introduction, 3 Poisons

is an easy listen with promise of what’s

to come.


WINDOW SHOPPERS AND COLLECTORS ALIKE CAN ENJOY

the contemporary style of Bartholomew Jewelers, a

tranquil boutique tucked away in the bustling Laurelwood

Collection shopping center in Memphis. Elegant pieces set with

quartz, amethyst, opal and other dazzling gems stand out in the

store’s minimalist display cases. “Customers would come in and say

it doesn’t look like it belongs in Memphis,” says Laurie Bartholomew,

referring to the ultra-modern style of the shop.

More than just the store’s owner, Bartholomew also handcrafted

each necklace, earring, bracelet and ring sparkling under the glass.

As a student at the Memphis Academy of Art, now the Memphis

College of Art, she says she found a passion for creating works of

art with metal. “As a freshman, they would have you try out a lot of

different mediums, and I totally fell in love with metals: the material

itself, the permanence of it, its utility,” Bartholomew says.

During her senior year, she worked one day a week with a master

jeweler at Endicott Custom Jewelers. “He kind of gave me the basics

of what you would need to know to repair jewelry,” Bartholomew

says.“I put that together with what I was learning, and, right before

graduation, I had a job lined up.”

She began working as the in-house jeweler for a jewelry store, where

she says she was the only person with experience repairing jewelry.

“I was a little intimidated at first, but I quickly got my confidence

together,” she says.“I had no one to ask any questions about ‘How do

I do this?’ — I could only rely on myself.”

She honed her craft for 13 years, repairing pieces and working

with precious stones, and then went out on her own, first to a

small office in Oak Hall, then to a larger retail space and eventually

opening a shop in the front half of her husband’s painting studio in

Somerville, Tennessee.

When she and her husband, Garen, looked into expanding the

jewelry store, they realized it would mean leaving the space in

Somerville. “He was going to have to decide if he could work with

me here, and so we set up his painting studio with me in this shop,”

Bartholomew says. “It’s great. Life goes by too quickly, and we just

wanted to stay together all the time.”

Now Bartholomew crafts her own beautiful works of artfor those

looking for something completely unique. “My style would be

classical, timeless but I have so many ideas that something might

look really modern, where something

else might look Victorian,” she says. “A

gemstone might lead me a certain way,

but sometimes the things I make are

things I dream up that are more narrative

and symbolic.”

Her pieces tend to have soft lines and

naturalistic elements. One necklace fea-

tures a flock of metal birds, while another

has a gold teardrop pendant with four

leaf clovers surrounding a citrine gem.

Certain works follow a similar aesthetic

narrative, such asher seasonal pendants,

which feature a tree’s silhouette in silver

over glass enamel hand-painted with

vibrant blues, greens, reds and yellows.

One of her more popular products is

the custom signature bracelet, which is

a metal bracelet featuring an exact rep-

lica of someone’s signature. Personalized

pieces like this have gotten her more than

just a thank you. “They’ll come around

the counter and hug me,” Bartholomew

says. “They’ll want to start calling me LB.”

Although diamonds are her favorite gem

to work with, she’s always on the lookout

for interesting minerals. Her shop hosts

a wide variety of minerals and gems,

including quartz, pyrite, peridot and

tourmaline. “I’m drawn to more exotic

stones, things you don’t see every day,”

she says.

Bartholomew also creates custom pieces

from materials a client brings in. “(One

customer) had a huge bag of shells from

Asia that her father brought back from

the war,” she says.“I made her a ring,

earrings and a bracelet with the shells.

She loved it so much we made her sister

a set, too.”

But she hasn’t just worked with rare

stones and sentimental materials.

One of her more interesting clients

was a Memphis Zoo employee who

worked with the big cats. He’s brought

Bartholomew snow leopard fur, the

casing of a lion claw he found in a habitat

and even a baby Bengal tiger tooth

that had fallen out. Each fascinating

fragment became the centerpiece for

a wearable work of art. “The challenge

to build something feels really good,”

Bartholomew says.

“The Grove”

in a Glass McEwen’s Grove-inspired cocktail blends

simplicity and freshness, rendering the

perfect tailgating drink for the fall

Story by M.B. SELLERS | Photo by CASEY HILDER

drinks

THERE’S NOTHING BETTER — OR MORE IMPORTANT,

come football season — than finding the perfect

tailgating cocktail. As Southerners, tailgating is an

integral part of the sporting experience, regardless of teams,

wins, or losses. Sharing food and drink with friends and family

has always been a central part of the human experience and

rightly so. A tailgating cocktail should be relatively simple to

make, as well as appeal to a wide variety of people. Luckily,

McEwen’s, located on the Square in Oxford, Mississippi, has

just the drink.

“We’ve been down here about two and a half years,” says

Burton Webb, general manager at McEwen’s.“The owners really

didn’t know if they wanted to tap into here quite yet, because

with them now coming into Oxford, they had to push their

restaurant as a chain. And literally, chains have never actually

done well in Oxford. It’s been more the mom-and-pop, and,

of course, you have John Currence at City Grocery, as well.

When they came in, there was a lot of skepticism, because if

McEwen’s was successful, then other chain restaurants would

come in.”

Memphis also lays claim to the restaurant, and Webb

explains that they did, in fact, change the menu in order to

suit Oxford better. “With McEwen’s here, we did change a little

bit from the menu in Memphis and also with our specialty

cocktails,” Webb says.“We hired a firm to come up with all of

the cocktails for us.”

However, the restaurant’s “The Grove” in a Glass was actually

crafted by one of the first bartenders at the Oxford location.

After a customer exclaimed that she would enjoy drinking the

cocktail in the Oxford Grove, the staff decided to go ahead and

make the famous tailgating spot the drink’s namesake. With

simple syrup, Grand Marnier and some fresh mint straight

from the owner’s garden, the concoction is as quick to make

as itis refreshing.

“Most of our cocktails are Southern-driven,” Webb says.“We

have three signature drinks, which are “The Grove,” “Daddy’s

Little Princess” and “Faulkner’s Spirit.” We try to, with clientele

we have coming in, to have that traditional drink that they

know, that they’re used to, but then with a little bit of a twist.

Oxford isn’t known for going way outside the box.”

Webb has been working at McEwen’s for two years and

originally started as a pastry chef, which he still continues

to do. He also has his own catering company. “I also wanted

to learn a little bit more from the front of the house, because

I would like to own restaurants as I progress in my age and

also my learning,” Webb says.“So, they were able to give me a

server position. From the server position, I’ve been moved up

to general manager.”

Webb says that in every restaurant, there are three main

factors that contribute to its success: ambiance, service and

food. “If you look at our décor, our paintings, just the way

the lighting hits — and service, that’s one thing I want to

maintain at the highest level,” Webb says. “That’s what I came

in here for, that’s my job.” He also adds that knowing their

customers on a name-to-name basis is incredibly important

and provides for a better overall feel when it comes to dining

at McEwen’s. “We just want to make the most pleasurable

experience on the Square.”

AS ANOTHER SWELTERING SUMMER WANES, THE

first glistening days of fall promise relief from the

heat as well as some noteworthy new releases in

contemporary fiction. Brimming with mystery, any of these

gems would make the perfect pick for delving into poolside

during these last golden summer afternoons.

Dollbaby by Laura Lane McNeal

Set in mysterious and captivating New

Orleans, Dollbaby is a story of loss, family

and deep secrets. After Ibby Bell’s father

dies in a car accident, her mother drops

her off to live with her eccentric grand-

mother in a neglected New Orleans

mansion. Because Ibby’s peculiar grand-

mother is hardly capable of caring for her,

there are a couple of other characters who

take Ibby under their proverbial wings.

Queenie, the house cook, has been caring for the house for

years. She and her mouthy daughter, Dollbaby, become, in

a sense, Ibby’s newfound family. Together, they are bound

to unlock both the beauty and secrets that this adventure in

New Orleans offers.

2 A.M. at The Cat’s Pajamas by Marie-Helene Bertino

A well-spun tale about Philadelphia

and its intriguing music scene, this

book’s crowning jewel is its cast of com-

plex and intricately crafted characters.

Opening in a Philadelphia apartment

just before Christmas, the reader first

meets a special little nine-year-old girl

named Madeleine Altimari. She finds

herself in downtrodden circumstances

since her mother recently died and her

father is lost in grief. A relatable character, Madeleine has

faced rejection at school and looks toward a music career

to ease her troubles. Deciding that she will find Philadel-

phia’s legendary jazz club, The Cat’s Pajamas, and make her

debut, she sets out on an exciting journey where she will

cross paths with some captivating folks who will change

her outlook forever. Charming and well-rounded, 2 A.M. at

The Cat’s Pajamas is a tale of aspirations, love and the power

of music.

The Gone Dead Train by Lisa Turner

Lovers of the ever-riveting classic

Southern gothic mystery, rejoice! This

Memphis-based novel draws readers

into a veritable whirlwind of crime, se-

crets and even voodoo on the path to

unlocking the truth for Detective Billy

Able. At the center of this ever-thick-

ening plot are the mysterious murders

of two legendary blues musicians. Al-

though Detective Able is struggling

with his own personal issues, another officer drags him

onto this particular murder case because intuition is telling

her something is not quite right. As Detective Able learns

more, he begins to see that, indeed, there is more to these

murders than meets the eye. Soon he finds himself at the

center of the scandal, all of which is connected to older

crimes and secrets from the civil rights movement. As truth

and lies collide, it becomes difficult to separate the good

guys from the bad. He eventually finds himself searching the

dirty Memphis underbelly on his quest to uncover the reality

in this web of decades old deceit. A gripping page-turner, The

Gone Dead Train is Memphis at its most captivating.

Bluff City Pawn by Stephen Schottenfeld

Exploring the bonds of brotherhood, the

complexity of family ties and troubled

economic times, Bluff City Pawn gives

an inside view of running a business

considered unscrupulous by many.

Huddy Marr runs Bluff City Pawn in

Memphis, and he knows that the neigh-

borhood is on the decline. With an empty

grocery store on one side and liquor

store with repeat robberies happening

on the other, the handwriting is on the wall in Huddy’s opinion.

He knows the time is ripe to relocate, but his situation is

complicated. His older brother, Joe, owns the building that

his shop is located in, and family tension just so happens

to be rising. With his younger brother, Harlan, newly arriving

back in Memphis under veiled circumstances, the three

brothers are reunited and, for the first time, basically

dependent on one another. Rich with deep emotions, Bluff

City Pawn explores motivation, familial love and loyalty, as

well as the ever-present undertones of class and money.

DIGNITY. RESPONSIBILITY. OBEDIENCE. THESE ARE

just a few of the things students learned during the

Art of Living Smart summer camp hosted by the B.B.

King Museum and Delta Interpretive Center in Indianola.

Reinforced through activities and workshops, these “words

of the day” served as a source of guidance and inspiration

for students and staff alike throughout the summer. “Today’s

word was promptly,” says

Verna Ransom, the muse-

um’s education coordi-

nator. “An 8-year-old girl

had to recite the word

this morning. She knew

it immediately, and I had

never even pronounced it.”

Her voice rich with pride, Ransom adds, “I was impressed.”

In tune with the museum’s mission to empower, unite and

heal through music, art and education, the Art of Living

Smart summer program uses the arts to encourage kids

to adopt healthy eating habits and enjoy active lifestyles.

During this eight-week program, 80 campers ages 8 to 17

are exposed to a variety of enriching activities: creating

works of art with watercolors and through collage, performing

music on various instruments, learning dance steps and

fitness moves and even planting and tending vegetable

and herb gardens. “We want the students to increase their

energy levels, get in better shape and be confident in their

skills,” Ransom says, reflecting on the breadth of opportu-

nities available. “If they

don’t know about it, how

can they choose it?”

A critical component of

the program is teaching

campers about how their

daily lifestyle choices can

affect their moods, energy

and academic performance. In addition to the daily classes on

fitness, nutrition and culinary arts, campers are exposed to

many health care options. Throughout the summer, Ransom

brought in health care professionals who provided campers

with medical and dental screenings. “Some students don’t go

to the dentist at all, believe it or not,” Ransom says. “I wanted

“Students are taking back what they’re learning to their parents, and we’re hoping that it will transcend the summer and

help them in their schooling.”


to give students the opportunity to

have a cleaning, or a screening, and see

where they are.”

On the whole, the arts-based program

is challenging campers’ current health

and lifestyle conditions, while engag-

ing students in fun projects meant to

improve their readiness for learning in

the Fall. “The attendance says it all,”

Ransom says, referring to the program’s

full roster. “Students are taking back

what they’re learning to their parents,

and we’re hoping that it will transcend

the summer and help them in their

schooling.”

The museum’s programming also

extends into the school year. “We want

to assist the community and the local

school district,” Director of Education

Gloria McIntosh says. “Implementing

after school programs, the spring fling

program and the summer program are

opportunities to assist students that the

schools can’t accommodate.” In 2013,

the museum took it a step further and,

through a partnership with the Institute

of Museum and Library Services, devel-

oped a curriculum that aligns with state

education standards. Consultant Althea

Jerome wrote three sets of lesson plans

connecting the museum to the state’s

core competencies.

Split into three grade sections —

fourth through fifth, sixth through

eighth and ninth through 12th — each

lesson plan outlines the content and

contains the materials needed to teach

the lesson. “She tied things B. B. King

did into Mississippi’s history,” McIntosh

says, adding that visiting the exhibit

complements the material. “Students

aren’t just coming for a field trip, they’re

coming for a lesson fitting to the school

day.” When students come in, they’re

exposed to King’s career, spanning more

than 60 years, by way of his personal

belongings and multimedia document-

ing his story in conjunction with the

Delta’s rich history. “I tell the kids that

this is the life of B.B. King, but it can be

your life as well,” McIntosh says. “Our

mission is to inspire hope, creativity

and greatness. And they can do it.”

Did you know the American Academy of Family Physicians does not recom-mend routinely prescribing antibiotics for acute mild-to-moderate sinusitis unless symptoms last for seven or more days OR symptoms worsen after initial clinical improvement. (Symptoms must include discolored nasal secretions AND facial or dental tenderness to percussion.) Most sinusitis in the ambulatory setting is due to a viral infection that will resolve on its own.

The Spears’ iconic Northwest Mississippi home is built on the cornerstones of comfort, community and compassion

Story by ELIZABETH LINK

Photography by TERRY SWEENEY

of PLACEA SENSE


S

featureat home

Top: A favorite spot of the Spears’ family, the patio is a quiet outdoor oasis.Above: The classic buffet is one of the many traditional pieces in the home. With events, showers and open houses throughout the year, it holds all the necessary serving items to show true hospitality.

Some homes are built with a specific style in mind, weaving the character of the

owners into the design and décor. Others represent a sense of place in the community,

where people gather together and bond over a shared purpose. For students and

faculty at Northwest Mississippi Community College, that home belongs to the

President Gary Lee Spears and his wife, Marilyn.

After two years of construction, the home was completed in 2009, Physical Plant

manager Mike Robison drew the plans for the home, and employees of the plant

worked on it in their spare time. The expert craftsmen were responsible for creating

the beautiful cabinets, shelving and woodwork.

The home is conveniently located on campus in Senatobia, which is where the Spears

family has spent their lives. As a Hernando native, Gary received his associate degree

from the college. He began his career at Northwest Mississippi Community College in

1975. Over the years, he has worked as an instructor and vocational counselor, before

eventually becoming the vice president of Student Affairs and Registrar. In 2005, Gary

was officially named President.

Marilyn has also devoted much of her time and life to the college. After teaching as a

faculty member for 26 years, the new Early Childhood Education Technology building

was endowedwith her namesake in 2009.

With the college campus being like a home itself to the Spears’ family, it’s only

natural that their children should grow up there, as well. Their two sons, Jared and

Daniel, learned to ride their bikes on campus and even learned how to drive there.

Nowadays, with the children grown up, the Spears family spends most of their free

time at the college, attending fine arts events, plays, concerts and sporting events.

They work diligently to attend all they can, while Gary promotes the college around

the area. The job of the President is definitely around the clock, with no summers

off. Reflecting on her sentiments, Marilyn simply says, “We’re here to serve the

community.”

Gary is also active in the community as a member of the Rotary Club, while Marilyn

is in the Magnolia Club, as well as the Cosmopolitan Club. Both are also active

members of First Baptist Church in Senatobia.


The Spears home presents a comfortable, inviting space.

at home


at home

The Spears home is a comfortable, inviting space. Local

decorator Shirley Young leant her expertise, helping to choose

the colors of the home as well as some of the furnishings. The

house exudes a traditional style, with older furnishings from

estate sales or auctions. Other items in the home have been in

the Spears family for generations and were passed down.

There are several surprises in the design that make the home

stand out, such as the decorative glass in the bathroom, the

architectural transoms in the hallways, the crown molding and

the covered back porch with large pillars.

Although the house is located on the quieter part of campus

on the east end, it is conveniently located in a prime location

for the yearly Senatobia Christmas Parade, and the floats line

up in front of the home. The open space is also perfect for the

variety of events held there. Each Christmas, there is a two-day

Open House, where employees from the school and remote

campuses can come to eat and kick off the holiday season.

Marilyn also opens her home freely throughout the year for

events, such as Board of Trustees meetings, showers, tours and

benefits for the college.

The warm style of the home and the happy gatherings make the

Spears home a true jewel on the campus and in the community.

Left: The open layout of the kitchen welcomes visitors, as does the lemonade. All of the beautiful cabinetry of the home was designed and installed by the talented employees of the Northwest Mississippi Community College. Above: A classic entry piece: an antique hall tree with a lamp and mirror.

Ladies Who Lunch

Photography by JACQUELINE CAMPBELL

Embrace the small-town charm of Steel Magnolias and host a

home-style luncheon


entertaining

THERE IS NO BETTER WAY TO SHOW SOUTHERN HOSPITALITY THAN TO

host a luncheon. We put together a Steel Magnolias-themed luncheon and

compiled some great tips that we hope will inspire you to host your own!

Invitations: To keep things simple and save on costs, we printed unique fliers

on pastel paper. Because we hosted a neighborhood luncheon, we opted to hand-

deliver the invitations. Delivery was as simple as taking an evening stroll through

the neighborhood and putting the fliers in mailboxes.

Menu: We hired a local caterer, Simply Delicious, to help with the bulk of the

food and supplemented a few items of our own to help with the budget and give

a homemade flare to the buffet. The light lunch consisted of a cold Asian chicken

noodle salad, green garden salad, fresh fruit salad, caprese salad and gourmet

deviled eggs provided by the caterer, along with mini s’more shooters and mango

panna cotta for dessert. Pimento cheese and curry tuna salad on croissants were

easy to make and added bulk to our menu. To give the buffet that extra pizzazz,

we had The Cake Lady Bakery in Olive Branch, Mississippi, create Steel Magnolias-

inspired cupcakes and petits fours. Beverages included a refreshing watermelon

lemonade and champagne.

Decor: Steel Magnolias is known for its quick-witted characters, so we decided to

utilize their sharp remarks in our décor. We printed a variety of our favorite quotes

on scrapbook paper, slipped each into a cute frame, and placed them around the

entry table, buffet and seating areas. Fleur De Lis, a local florist, provided some

Southern-style arrangements for the guest tables, as well as a large buffet piece.

We took it a step further and added our own neighborhood magnolias, which gave

it a fresh local flair. We also added tables and chairs from Classic Party Rentals and

Party and linens from Party Tables, which were shipped in from Atlanta, to accom-

modate all the guests. Utilizing your local rental company for necessities is a huge

stress reliever and is the key to party success! As a special treat, each guest took

home a pink box of homemade white chocolate popcorn tagged with the movie

quote “Pink is my signature color.”

WORKING IN A FAMILY PRACTICE SETTING, I SEE AN

array of different issues ranging from acute to

chronic illnesses. Some days, admittedly, I feel

overwhelmed and stressed, but I always remind myself

that I chose this path. I am at my happiest when I feel I am

helping others and can actually see the outcome of my care.

Lately, I have been concerned about the increase in

depression and sadness I’m seeing on a daily basis. It is

truly disturbing. In this fast-paced world of texting, tweeting

and other social media, are we so bombarded by issues and

information that we seem to be shutting down? I consider

too much information regarding what everyone else is doing

to be a weight on my brain and soul. Stress can lead to so

many issues including hypertension, increased heart rate,

body aches and anxiety, just to name a few. Most can admit

to having several of these symptoms.

In healthcare, one of our main goals is preventative care.

We want to decrease the possibility of stroke, heart attack

and cancer, among other serious conditions. I often tell my

patients that I have just a few short moments in order to

help them formulate a game plan toward the improvement

of their health. I consider myself a cheering fan on the

sideline of my patients’ well-being. I know it sounds simple

and comical, but my mission is to motivate, as well as to

care for my patients. Coaches give their players direction in

order to win the game. The players must train and memorize

the plays in order to be victorious. This concept is much like

the provider-patient relationship.

I wish a magic pill existed that would correct all our issues,

but sadly it does not. The magic lies within each individual.

I believe every person owns this magic. With that being said,

we have the ability to get back on track to finding our joy.

We often say we are sad or depressed because of our work

or someone else’s actions. Sure, there are times when

something beyond our control happens that brings us down,

but often we simply allow situations or others to dampen

our joy factor. This is when it becomes our fault: each

person’s joy and special gifts belong to them. When faced

with a difficult situation or person, step back, appreciate the

moment and use it to create a stronger structure. I often

tell my patients that I can’t solve all their problems in a few

short minutes, but when they leave the clinic, I want them

to throw back their shoulders, take hold of the wheel and

take back control of their well-being. I want them to use this

concept in every way, from healthcare promotion to overall

happiness. We have the amazing ability to make choices

that will enhance ourselves as well as those around us.

A little of that joy will start creeping back, and it will

begin pushing the unnecessary nonsense that has been

downloaded into the brain into a folder far in the back of

a personal file cabinet. Each person will find his- or herself

laughing more and walking with more spring in his or her

step. I love to laugh, and I try to incorporate a dose of humor

into my daily practice. I do believe in the old saying regarding

laughter being the best medicine.

As everyone always says, “Life is hard,” but I believe we

were built for endurance. I encourage everyone to shake

off the negativity, get active and push away that dark cloud.

Look within, find that joy and share it with someone. I have

no doubt everyone will fare better, and will as spread that

healing to others.

Question: I’ve heard about this

strange payment system called

Bitcoin. What exactly is it?

Answer: Bitcoin is a relatively new

and completely digital currency being

accepted by more and more online

and brick-and-mortar businesses.

Buyers are often enticed by two

advanced features: anonymity and

easy transactions. When using Bitcoin,

the identity of buyer and seller is never

revealed. Because the transactions

are from one person’s digital wallet

to another, the transaction can also

be made relatively easily and without

banks, credit card companies and

transaction fees.

The downside of Bitcoin is the

volatility of the new currency’s value.

One digital coin is worth close to

$600 today, but that value changes

daily. Since August 2013, the coin’s

value has been as low as $93 and as

high as $1,147. Bitcoins are created

when people use computers to solve

complex algorithms, but the algorithm

also limits the number of coins created

to prevent the market from creating

more currency than demand. Even

with inflation protection, the value is

unstable.

The safety of Bitcoin wallets is another

large concern for investors. If you store

your Bitcoins on your computer, you

can accidentally delete the wallet, or it

can be affected by a computer virus. If

they are stored in the cloud, a hacker

can take the Bitcoins. Unlike money in

the bank, the FDIC does not insure the

Bitcoins.

While Bitcoin is an exciting new

option in an increasingly digital

marketplace, the future of the currency

is still unsure. Governments are trying

to decide what to do with Bitcoins

and whether the currency is taxable.

The lack of regulations that make

Bitcoin attractive to many investors

also leaves many questions about the

sustainability of the currency’s value.

The anonymity of the currency has

also lent itself to use in illicit activities.

Q: In light of the recent Target data

breach, what should I do to monitor my

accounts and make sure my information

has not been compromised?

A: The recent data breach of Target

shoppers has caused many customers

to question the immediate and long-

term steps they should take when

their information appears to be

compromised.

The immediate steps after suspecting

your financial information has been

compromised are fairly simple. First,

alert your bank, and change all of

your online banking passwords to

prevent further online access to your

information and money. Next, contact

each of the three major credit bureaus

— Equifax, Experian and TransUnion —

and have a fraud alert placed on your

credit report. Each bureau has a toll-

free number listed on its website, and

the credit bureaus should send you

a credit report so you can check for

unusual activity.

To prevent fraud and identity theft

down the road, consider an identity

theft program. Many companies offer

identity theft insurance and credit

monitoring for as little as $10 per

month. Another way to add security

to your accounts and transactions is

through a credit card with an EMV chip.

These credit cards contain microchips

that allow for an extra level of fraud

protections. While they aren’t widely

available for debit cards yet, many

banks will be adopting the new tech-

nology in the coming months.

Q: I’m still going to my bank to make

most transactions, but I’m hearing

more and more about mobile banking.

What all can I do with my phone?

A: Just as many young people are re-

turning to school this fall to receive

their education, I often find that with

money management technology rap-

idly evolving, I also need to go back to

school, at least in the figurative sense.

Digital banking is quickly making

physical trips to the bank, and all the

hassle that goes with it, obsolete.

Although you might be hesitant to

adopt digitized banking fully, with a

simple app download you can quickly

become a mobile banking wiz. Thanks

to mobile banking applications, you

can deposit checks from your phone,

transfer funds, pay your bills, find

branch locations and even receive a

text or email any time something hap-

pens within your account. You can use

mobile banking apps to handle almost

all of your banking, or opt to use it

as an easy way to stay on top of your

account balances. At the very least,

it’s nice to have access to your bank

account with you wherever you go.
