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.
Read on,

Interview by CASEY HILDER

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.
Click magazine | SEPTEMBER 2014 13
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

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.”

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

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

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.

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.

Embrace the small-town charm of Steel Magnolias and host a
home-style luncheon
84 SEPTEMBER 2014 | Click magazine

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.
