Helen SummerfordWhen Helen Louis first saw Clay Summerford, the 19-year-old whis-

pered to her best friend, “I am going to marry that guy,” and she did.

The rest is history. The two went out on their first date the following

weekend, with Clay taking Helen to participate in his favorite activity:

waterskiing. The two were inseparable the rest of the summer. There

was a problem though. Helen was a Rebel and Clay was a Bulldog.

Roxanne Hilsman“My children think I’m some crazy dog lady,” confesses Roxanne

Hilsman. “Maybe I am.” She certainly is crazy about French bulldogs,

or “Boule-douges Francaises,” crazy enough to have won numerous

trophies, ribbons, and “Best in Show” and “Grand Champion” desig-

nations for the French bulldogs she has raised at both all-breed

shows, specialties, and larger shows such as Westminster or the

Eukanuba Invitational. Quite a feat for the little girl who wasn’t partic-

ularly fond of the Scottish terriers she grew up with. “I’m not a terrier

person.”

Allison and Haley FisackerlySurely, you think, the president and CEO of Entergy Mississippi is a

middle-aged, graying and somewhat stuffy businessman. On the con-

trary, Haley Fisackerly is youthful, energetic and full of the fun of life,

in addition to being an excellent and forward-looking executive offi-

cer. He gamely helped to raise money for the Mississippi Opera by

performing in their “Dance with the Stars” gala, and appeared with his

wife, Allison, and their two sons, Reeves and Ryan, in the 2011 pro-

duction of “The Nutcracker” ballet.

The Debutante Club of Mississippi Inc.The Debutante Club of Mississippi Inc., is announcing the 27 young

ladies who are the Debutantes of 2012. The presentation will be held

November 23 at the Hilton Jackson. The announcement is made by

Miss Michelle Lynne Morris, chairman of the board of directors.

am going to marry that guy,” and she did.The rest is history. The two went out on their first date the

following weekend, with Clay taking Helento participate in his favorite activity: water-skiing. The two were inseparable the restof the summer. There was a problem though. Helen was a

Rebel and Clay was a Bulldog.

Helen Louis Summerford, Lea Easley

“He went off to Mississippi State that August and Iback to Ole Miss,” she said. “We went back and forthbetween the two schools until Clay finally got up thenerve to ask his Bulldog parents if he could transfer.”They agreed and Helen converted him into a Rebelfan.

Helen, who was born and raised in Jackson, attend-ed elementary school at St. Richard’s Catholic Schooland then transferred to Jackson Prep where she wasgraduated in 1994. She is the youngest of four chil-dren, her oldest sister is 17 years older, her brother is15 years older and her other sister is 11 years older.After Prep, Helen went to the only school she knewexisted: the University of Mississippi. “All of my oldersiblings attended there and I had been going toOxford and to Ole Miss games since I was two,” shesaid. She was graduated with a bachelor’s degree,majoring in psychology and minoring in English in1998.

Clay was born in Memphis but moved to Jacksonwhen he was just an infant. He attended JacksonAcademy from pre-primer until he was graduated in1994. He went to Mississippi State for two years andtransferred to Ole Miss, where he was graduated in1998 with a bachelor’s degree in business administra-tion with a marketing major.

Jennifer Thompson Walker met Helen the day theymoved into the dorm their freshman year at Ole Miss.The two pledged Chi Omega social soririty together,became roommates, and spent the next four years oftheir lives together. “I will never forget a call fromsweet Mrs. Louis (Helen's mom) telling me aboutClay and that I needed to come from Hazlehurst toJackson and talk to Helen because he was a truejewel,” she said. “Mrs. Louis was absolutely right.”Jennifer said Clay was the perfect fit, not only forHelen but all of their friends. “He quickly became oneof us,” she said.

Clay and Helen continued to date all through col-lege. Their senior year, Clay took Helen to eat at theirfavorite Chinese place (Hunan) and then drove herout to Rowan Oak. He made her get out of the car

and sit on a bench. Then he got down on one kneeand asked her to marry him.

They were just 21. The two finished school and got married the fol-

lowing July 25 at St. Peter's Cathedral CatholicChurch and had their reception at the Country Clubof Jackson. They have lived in Jackson ever since.

Helen’s first job out of college was working retailfor Fridges in Highland Village while Clay took a jobwith Wallace Computer Services. At age 25, they hadtheir firstborn, Alex. Sixteen short months later, theyhad their second child, Louis.

Today Clay works for Intuitive Surgical as theirclinical sales manager for Mississippi and Tennessee.Clay sells the daVinci surgical robot to various doc-tors. He enjoys what he does and believes that withhis product, he is making a difference in patients’lives.

Helen currently owns a store in Highland Villagecalled Dancing Divas and recently opened anotherone named D Squared. Alex, nine, and Louis, seven,attend Jackson Academy. “We chose JA for a numberof reasons,” she said. “It is a Christian based atmos-phere and it is such a well-rounded school. Theexperience Clay had there was amazing, and we feltat home when we first went to visit. The teachersand faculty are amazing and it has such a huge senseof family and we love that.” However, it was and con-tinues to still be a bit of a joke between Clay, Helenand their friends as to how Helen would allow theirchildren to go to JA since as she was a huge JacksonPrep fan.

Helen decided to open a store after she had been astay at home mom for seven and a half years. “Iwanted to do something on my own and I havealways loved retail,” she said. “I casually talked to myfriend (and now business partner) Lea Easley oneday on the soccer field about opening a store - neverthinking it would really come to fruition. Well if yougive Lea an idea, you better be prepared to follow upwith it.” Lea called Helen a few days later with aproposition to open a dance, cheer and gymnastic

store in Highland Village. “She and her husband, Cal,had done some research and talked to Guy Boyll(owner of Highland Village) about it and they hadcome up with this idea,” Helen said. “I was in.”

The two opened Dancing Divas in November 2009and have both loved every minute of it. “I get askedabout a hundred times a day how I opened such agirly store with two boys, and I simply laugh and say Iam very girly and this helps me get my little girl fix.”At first, Helen had a hard time juggling the boys andthe store and said she felt so torn about where sheneeded to be. “I worried about my boys adjusting andabout my husband adjusting, but it all worked out,”she said. “Having a partner really has helped with thatpart too. We do a pretty good job of not allowing ourstore to ever interfere with our children’s activities. Ifit is busy, we have to rely on each other to help outwith the other person’s kids, and our husbands aregood at helping too. Lea and I laugh that Clay and Callove the store as much as we do.”

For the past two years, the Summerfords haveattended Bellewether Church. “We love all the peoplewe have met there and feel very blessed to have John

Hugh as our pastor,” she said.Last year, the Summerfords chaired Jammin’ for

Joints, a major fund-raiser for the ArthritisFoundation of Mississippi. “We worked alongsideCynthia Baker and put on a ‘Day at the Derby’

“I wanted todo somethingon my ownand I havealways loved

retail.” Helen Summerford

themed party with the Molly Ringwalds,” she said.“We loved doing that.”

Two other charities that are dear to them includethe Mississippi Children’s Home and the McCleanFletcher Center. “We love doing anything that helpschildren,” she said. “That is probably our biggest pas-sion in life.”

Dancing Divas alone donates to more than 35organizations around town. “I feel if you ask thecommunity to support your business, you have togive back to the community in return,” Helen said.“It is a give and take relationship.”

As a couple, the two try to stay connected eventhough it can be somewhat challenging. WithHelen’s two stores, Clay’s demanding job and travelschedule, and two boys with very active schedules,staying close as a couple can be a challenge. “Clay isvery good about giving us his undivided attention onthe weekends,” Helen said. “If he does anything extra

such as hunting or golfing, he takes the kids andspends time with them and gives me a break andvice versa,” she said. The two have a pact to dosomething just us as a family once on the weekendsand they try to go on a date at least two to threetimes a month.

“We also have an unbelievable circle of friends,”she said. “We are all very close and cook out at leastevery weekend if not every other.”

Helen believes the neighborhood (Sheffield area)they live in has brought them close together with alot of families who have the same values as they do.

“We are blessed to be surrounded with friends andfamily,” she said. “I am extremely close to my twosisters, Pam and Cathy, and my sister-in-law, Addie,and my brother, Tommy, and we all live about fivemiles apart,” she said. “My mother is no longer ableto communicate with us via words due to twostrokes she had, but we all still gather at Mom andDad’s house for dinner at least once or twice amonth.”

Helen says she is sure she could not do it withoutthe help of her sisters, her mother-in-law and herfriends. “I feel God has blessed us immensely and Itry to show His love in all that we do.”

“I feel like if you ask the community to support your business, you have to give back

to the community in return.” Helen Summerford

Some of Roxanne’s “Frenchies” are owned by celebrities like Irving

Azoff, former chairman and CEO of Ticketmaster Entertainment, actor

Jason Bateman, and director Josh Gordon. She and Patty Hearst co-

own Hilsman Bandog Holy Moses! who is currently being campaigned.

Hearst is the primary owner and in charge of Moses’ career, along with

Jodi Longmire of Baltimore who is his handler, and Hilsman is his

breeder and co-owner.

Roxanne grew up in upstate New York near theVermont border. She attended Bennington Collegeand Southern Vermont College in Vermont andDominican University in California, and earned abachelor’s degree in human services/art. She alsoearned a master’s of art education at MississippiCollege. She is now married to Dr. Gray Hilsman,a psychiatrist who is board certified in addiction,psychiatry and geriatrics, a former professor at theUniversity of Mississippi Medical Center, andowner of Three Oaks Behavioral Health ofRidgeland, an addiction recovery and behavioralhealth center. They have four children: Kristian,Gamble, Evan and Ryan.

Roxanne came south in 1987 to teach art at St.Andrew’s Episcopal School. She has a realistic styleand paints primarily still lifes and pet “icon” por-traits. Locally she has studied with Wyatt Waters,Sammy Britt and Bob Tompkins to name a few.Her paintings are exhibited at Nunnery’s at Gallery119. She is an award-winning artist and member ofOil Painters of America and the American ArtistsProfessional League. Mike Nunnery says,“Roxanne’s work is absolutely exquisite and ele-gant. In her still lifes she uses a lot of fruit and pat-tern fabric - very sensual. She was a marvelousteacher as well. Many of her students from herteaching days have gone on to become profession-

al artists.” Roxanne acknowledges that it is difficultto find enough hours to paint these days. HerFrenchies consume most of her painting hours.French bulldogs are not easy to raise. First, they

cannot conceive naturally, but must be artificiallyinseminated. This involves progesterone testinguntil it is determined that the time is right forinsemination. Then when time for the birth comesaround a C-section is required, as the dogs areunable to deliver naturally. Left to nature, the pupswill die in the birth canal. Again, constant moni-toring is required. “Dr. Troy Majure is truly a saint.He has agreed to come in the middle of the night ifnecessary to deliver the pups. And Dr. William

Rumbavage is our faithful substitute when Dr.Majure is not available.” A litter of three is average. As with all parents of

new babies, sleep is intermittent for MamaRoxanne. “Sometimes I barely sleep for weeks.”The new pups are often tube-fed. “The mother dogis groggy after surgery and that can be a very dan-gerous situation.” Roxanne always sleeps beside thepuppy play pen with the newborns.The Hilsmans usually have several Frenchies in

their spacious back yard. Roxanne notes, “OurFrenchies live in our home. They are well-social-ized, happy, good-natured little guys and girls(although somewhat spoiled).” The pups cause noproblem in the neighborhood. Then there was thatone exception. Neighbors Gov. and Elise Winterenjoy regular walks in the area, and Bella, one ofthe Frenchies, got out and was chased down and

saved by them. “It all ended happily,” says Roxanne.In training for competition the dogs must learn

to stand still on a table, walk on a leash, tolerate amouth examination, and stack or pose their body

just so. The physical characteristics, “the standard,”are strictly adhered to. Head, neck, ears, throat,back, legs, coat, color and gait, each componenthas its requirements. Proper temperament isdescribed as “well-behaved, adaptable and com-fortable companion with an affectionate natureand even disposition.”Raising French bulldogs is not an inexpensive or

one-person project. Hilsman calls it “a seriousinvestment of time and money.” She has the assis-tance and cooperation of a friend in Clinton, JaynePalmer, herself a breeder, who aids in the whelpingor breeding process. The pups then spend manymonths with Hiram Stewart of New Orleans whotrains them to perform for the judges, evaluatesand often shows them for Hilsman. Then there arethe advertising costs connected with showingthese dogs. Husband Gray has no involvement

with Roxanne’s passion. “He just pats the dogs on the head and writes thechecks.”Roxanne became addicted to French bulldogs 14 years ago when she walked

into Animal Arts Antiques in New Orleans where the owners allowed theirbeloved pets to lounge around the store. She calls the pups her obsession, anobsession which increases yearly. Son Evan, a student at Mississippi StateUniversity, tells the story, “One of her first French bulldogs was namedBeetlejuice. After Beetlejuice she just went crazy for Frenchies. We always havea number of them running around in our back yard. We have a studio backthere, and for as long as I can remember my friends and I have just beenswarmed when we tried to get from the back door to the studio.” Stepson Gamble remembers his childhood this way. “Roxanne has been rais-

ing, breeding and showing the Frenchies since Evan, Ryan and I were all little.Over the first few years it grew from a couple of house pets to more of anextended family. When we were younger we thought the pack mentality of allthe less-than-petite charismatic pups to be pretty annoying. Randomly onewould find its way into the house and chew up remotes, videogame controllers,basically anything we carelessly left on the floor. Now, though, it would beweird for me not to see the tribe all laid out in the shade during summer orhuddled together inside or outside at winter, ready to chase any of us down.”Roxanne’s French bulldogs now live from coast to coast, and many overseas

(one of her boys was the number one Frenchie in Thailand last year). Althoughshe rarely has dogs for sale, when she does sell one within the United States,various sons are called in to deliver the pup straight to the hands of the pur-chaser. Gamble has been a principal player in the puppy delivery end of things.“When I turned 18, I decided to attend the University of New Orleans, the

only important part that plays in this story is as a leg to transport dogs up anddown from a trainer outside of New Orleans and back up to Jackson whenev-er it was convenient for me. Usually around holidays,” he recalls. “I got used tothe very basic care of the dogs and their compressed personalities started togrow on me. In 2009 I brought a dog down to deliver to a buyer in NewOrleans, very simple, very quick, asked a couple questions, explained every-thing I knew about the pup, and snapped a couple of pictures. Pretty muchbusiness. It wasn’t until 2010 that Roxanne asked me to deliver dogs outside ofmy normal route between Jackson and NOLA. It was hard to turn down theopportunity to jet off to Los Angeles to sell a couple of puppies, especially uponhearing to whom. For the sake of not sounding like I am name dropping, I hadthe opportunity to visit a few incredible homes in LA, speak with some peopleI never thought I would have access to, and be treated very kindly throughoutthe process - to the point of getting to sit in a family’s private box for an NBALakers vs. Suns final that was a complete nail-biter. I was able to get a real expe-rience of LA on the side you don’t think of growing up in the suburbs most ofyour life.” Roxanne’s dedication and hard work has not been without rewards. She is

well-recognized as an expert in her field. She is on the board and past presidentof the Mississippi State Kennel Club, American Kennel Club delegate and showchairperson, and a member of the French Bulldog Club of America. JaynePalmer says of Hilsman, “I’ve been raising Frenchies for 25 years and knownRoxanne for about 15 years. I call myself her ‘puppy nanny.’ I know her to bevery knowledgeable, conscientious and well-respected by her peers. She hassingle-handedly done a lot for the breed.”

The son of a farmer andFarm Bureau insuranceagent, Haley Fisackerlybegan his life in Colum-bus. Working on thefamily farm kept Haley

and his two brothers out of trouble.He was a 4-H member, showed cattle,and developed a healthy appreciationfor farming and the work farming re-quires to feed the nation. “One of myfavorite sayings is, ‘If you are going to

complain about farmers, don’t talkwith your mouth full.’” The hard workof farming also convinced the boythere must be a better way to make aliving.He held his first paying job at Smith

and Byars clothing store in Colum-bus, where he worked to earn moneyfor his senior trip to Europe. And, ac-cording to Allison, there he learnedto wrap gifts - a great boon to thefamily. “I tell my boys that if their dadcan wrap gifts, they must learn too.”Politics interested Fisackerly

throughout high school at HeritageAcademy, where he was student bodypresident and played football andbasketball. He was active in the First

United Methodist Church youthgroup and choir. Family summers in-cluded trips to Gulf Shores, wherethe teenager went fishing and swim-ming. At home he water skied on theTombigbee River.

Haley Fisackerly is youthful, energetic and

full of the fun of life, in addition to being an

excellent and forward-lookingexecutive officer

Haley was graduatedwith a bachelor’s de-gree in business ad-ministration fromMississippi State Uni-versity and was

named vice president of the studentbody and Mr. MSU. Politics was stillon his mind. “At one time I thoughthard about running for Sonny Mont-gomery’s position, but decidedagainst it, feeling I needed more realworld experience.” He also toyed withthe idea of making a career of sportsmedicine while working as an athletictrainer at State and later with the In-dianapolis Colts. Before joining Entergy, Fisackerly

served on the staff of U.S. Sen. ThadCochran. Modestly he says, “I startedin the mail room, I didn’t know any-thing. Within four months I began tosit in on meetings with local govern-ment officials and became involved ineconomic development.” Before longhe managed Cochran’s Washingtonoffice and assisted the senator witheconomic development projects inMississippi as well as legislative mat-ters related to energy policy, the envi-ronment and interior appropriations. “Bill Laforge, Cochran’s administra-

tive assistant (AA), resigned in 1990,and I became the youngest AA onCapitol Hill. Laforge gave me somegreat advice. He said I should find myissue, become an expert on that issue– that issue could become my career.”Fisackerly took on energy issues forthe next five years. At the same timehe earned a master’s degree in publicpolicy administration with an empha-sis in executive, legislative and regu-latory management from GeorgeWashington University.With that rich background, Fisack-

erly in 1995 joined Entergy’s Wash-ington, D.C., office. In 1999 he movedto Little Rock where he became di-rector of system regulatory strategy, amove up. “After six months I called

Allison and told her I felt so over-whelmed with the technicalities andthe various complex regulations infour states and on the federal levelthat I thought I might quit. I had somuch studying to do – it was likegrad school all over.” Instead he stud-ied intensely, worked hard and mar-ried Allison in November 2000. SonReeves was born in Little Rock beforethey moved to Jackson in September2002, where son Ryan was born twoyears later.Allison, a third generation Wash-

ingtonian, was born in D.C. andreared in Maryland, the daughter of aJewish mother and Catholic father.She was groomed to become a balle-rina. Allison says, “I started ballet les-sons at three and later took en pointelessons five days a week.” While inhigh school in Frederick County, Md.,Allison created a family stir when shedecided to give up ballet classes tobecome a cheerleader. Lynn Lewis,Allison’s mother, who calls herself“The president of Allison’s fan club,”says, “I cried and then Allison cried. Iwas so disappointed when she quitballet, because I loved to see her per-form. But I knew it had to be her de-cision, that it was her life.”Allison also took up softball (“She

was terrible,” exclaims her mom.) andbecame involved in student govern-ment. Other creative juices flowed.Allison recalls, “In high school, Iwanted to be a clothing designer. Itook sewing and fashion merchandis-ing classes and dreamed of going toFashion Institute of Technology. I ac-tually wore a green knit dress I madein high school during my first job outof college. That was in the early ’90sand of course, I remember the multi-colored flats and wide belt I pairedwith the dress.” Her mom notes thatAllison was an early reader, a goodstudent, and somewhat shy as a child,but had many good friends withwhom she remains close to this day.

HALEY AND ALLISON FISACKERLY


Allison carried an interestin politics and her cre-ative gifts to theCatholic University ofAmerica in D.C. “I wentto college (1988-1992)

as an ‘undecided’ freshman, but mydreams included becoming CEO of amajor corporation, and I also thoughtabout pursuing law. It was calculusthat ultimately changed my businessdepartment path and led me to Eng-lish and speech communications. Formy minor in speech communications,I took acting classes and received anA++ for ‘Most Improved Student’ inmy acting class at the end of my senioryear. With the encouragement of myprofessor, I briefly considered study-ing that summer at the ShakespeareTheater in London. In my 20s, whileworking in politics (managing a grass-roots program and political actioncommittee and doing some lobbyingfor associations) I toyed with the ideaof going into broadcast journalism.”Marriage to a Southerner curtailedthose ideas.The birth of Reeves when the Fi-

sackerlys were living in Little Rockbrought Allison to her next career:wife and mother. “My dreams,” saysAllison, “always included being amother and a wife. Due to some child-hood health issues, my chances ofhaving children were reduced, butmotherhood remained a big dream ofmine. I remember being overcomewith emotion while rocking our firstbaby and my mom coming into thenursery panicking when she saw me.When she asked me what was wrong,I said, I just can’t believe I have ababy… that we made him.” A re-awakening of Allison’s longtime

love of ballet caused her in 2009 tobegin lessons at Ballet Mississippi,where she studies three days a week.In 2010 the director of “The Nut-cracker” sought adults to appear in theparty scene, and Allison and Haley

agreed to be a part of the production.Reeves and Ryan were in the audience.Afterward, “The boys said theywanted to be in ‘The Nutcracker’ thenext year,” says Allison. “I told themthey had to take class and audition.They couldn’t just show up and be in‘The Nutcracker.’ “They started taking a boys class in

August, understanding that they maynot be in ‘The Nutcracker’ their firstyear of class. After their audition,Ryan who is very much the ‘cool’younger brother asked me if he andReeves ‘made it’ (were asked to be in

the ballet), if Daddy and I would be init. I said maybe not since we had doneit in 2010. Ryan surprised us by ex-pressing that he wanted all four of usto be in it. That’s all it took for Haleyand me to hope to be invited again.“The whole experience was such a

gift. We will never forget watching ouroldest, Reeves ‘find his voice’ (if youwill) performing in the middle of thestage in the role of the Nutcracker inthe battle scene (Act I) and as the Nut-cracker Prince (Act II). He was so con-fident and happy. It was the boys’ ideato participate, and both took theirroles very seriously. We will alwaystreasure the memories of teachers andfriends, some of whom have knownReeves since Pre-K, see him come outof his shell and of course, the preciousmemories of family who joined us in

celebrating.” Like their father, both Reeves and

Ryan are sportsmen, actively involvedin recreational soccer and baseball aswell as basketball and football at St.Andrew’s Episcopal School. Accordingto their grandmother, Doris Fisackerly,“We always taught Haley that if hestarted something like football, he hadto finish out the season, but he did nothave to continue the next year if he didnot want to. Haley and Allison havethat same philosophy with their boys,and I believe that is what has madeReeves and Ryan focused.” The family attends St. James Episco-

pal Church. “It’s a good place for us,”says Allison, “lots of young families,close by. We have friends there.” Haleyand Allison strive to create an envi-ronment where kids can talk withtheir parents. “We first and foremostwish them a happy life, a passionateand honest life. If they can grow up tomake a difference in one person’s life,theirs will be successful.” “Right now,” says Allison, “this is ex-

actly where I want to be, and I feel so

fortunate. In whatever it may be - a ca-reer or other, it’s not over until we die.When I was growing up, a poster of abeautiful ballerina hung prominentlyin my room. From memory, I can tellyou the William Arthur Ward quoteon it read, ‘If you can imagine it, youcan achieve it; if you can dream it, youcan become it.’ As an adult, Haley hasshown me that there’s always opportu-nity to stretch - to try something new- even something that scares us a little.He thinks outside of the box and indoing so, provides such a great bal-ance for me and for our family.”Reeves and Ryan enjoy going to their

dad’s office. From experience hecoaches them on walking the road tosuccess. “I tell them they will neverknow success unless they are willing towork hard, to take the difficult assign-ment.” As for himself, Haley says, “If Ifeel that I have done everything I cando to be a good husband, father andboss. If in business my company meetsits goals and leadership is in place tosustain that growth, I am successful.”

“If you canimagine it, youcan achieve it;

if you candream it, you

can become it.”William Authur Ward

Same location…new ownership and name…that might be the first thing you notice

when approaching The Racquet Club at Cypress Lake (RCCL). When longtime

USPTA tennis professional Bill Johnson realized there was an opportunity to own

and operate his own facility, he jumped at the chance. “Being very familiar with

the Madison area, and understanding the tremendous potential of this facility was

extremely appealing,” says Johnson. “We want to be a family-oriented tennis club with a

strong emphasis on fitness and summer swim programs,” he continues.

Agnes Gee is no stranger to tennis across the Northside and she has joined the staff as

head tennis professional. Russ Gianaris is the fitness director along with Natalie Tatum as

the head swimming coach and Jennifer Higginbotham and Heather Jenkins as swim les-

son coordinators.” Johnson adds, “Not only does this group bring tons of expertise to the

table, but all our tennis, fitness and swimming instructors are without question some of

the friendliest and most knowledgeable around – that is what sets us apart. You know

you’re going to get quality help when you come here. That’s what we want – to build rela-

tionships with our membership and students and let them understand we truly care about

them, their improvement and their well-being.”

Plans are on the drawing board to build a new tennis pavilion where people can gather

for tennis events, check in for matches, and provide a place for players and spectators to

hang out. This facility has never had any areas to view a tennis match or relax before or

after playing.

RCCL offers a comprehensive recreational program including professional tennis

instruction, inner club and USTA League competition, USTA sanctioned tournaments,

year-round junior tennis development, fun social events, certified personal training, cardio,

weight training and group exercise classes, summer swimming team and outdoor swim-

ming activities for the whole family, nursery services while you work out or play tennis, a

well-stocked pro shop and certified racquet stringing services.

The 11-acre facility has eight professionally-lit hard courts, 1,800 square feet of workout

and cardio equipment, group exercise area, swimming pool with six lanes, and a very

impressive nursery.

For more information about RCCL, go to www.theracquetclubatcypresslake.com.

River Hills Club hosted an exhibition match featuring former ATP world number 12 David

Wheaton, winner of the 2004 Wimbledon 35s. Wheaton and River Hills pro T.J. Middleton

matched up against Tennis Director Dave Randall and Brett Garnet. Wheaton reached the

singles semifinals at Wimbledon and won the singles Grand Slam Cup in 1991. He also

reached the Australian Open doubles finals with Patrick McEnroe the same year. Randall

is a quarter-finalist at the US Open in doubles, holds three ATP Tour doubles titles, and is

an NCAA All-American at Ole Miss. Middleton, director of tennis development at River

Hills Club, is a quarter-finalist at the Australian Open in doubles, finalist at Wimbledon in

mixed doubles, Wimbledon 35 champion and member of NCAA champion team from the

University of Georgia. Bret Garnett, tennis director at Lake Hickory Country Club, is a

quarter-finalist at the Australian Open in doubles, holds one ATP Tour doubles title, and is

an NCAA All-American at University of Southwest Louisiana.

Sponsors were treated to an indoor party before the match started. More than 250 ten-

nis enthusiasts from the Northside came out to watch some fantastic tennis.

During the recent 2012 Southern Junior Cup in Chattanooga, Darius Kent from the

Jackson area was on the winning team, and Megan Humphreys of Madison received a

sportsmanship award. Chelsea Bond was the 12s coach. In the 14, 16 and 18 divisions,

Team Mississippi plays other teams from the Southern Section states. Meredith Roberts

from the tri-county played four singles matches and won all four.

Justyn Shelver and Courtney Ulrich were the coaches for the older players.

Congratulations to all 2012 Team Mississippi Southern Junior Cup players.

qbkkfp ^as^kq̂ dbTennis players love Oxford. For the third year in a row, the USTA League Adult Mixed

Doubles Championships were held in Oxford and the players had a blast. The weather

couldn’t have been better if it had been special ordered. Cool temperatures, great player

party at The Library, and fabulous tennis were enjoyed by all. Coming out as state cham-

pions from the tri-county area were Jimmie Coin’s 2.5 team and Jessica Langley’s 7.0

team. They traveled to Macon, Ga., to compete at the USTA League Mixed Doubles

Sectional Championships.

Southern Combo Doubles State Championships will be held in the Jackson area

November 8-11. The tournament committee has been working for close to a year planning

this championship and are excited about the weekend events. “Southern Combo

Doubles continues to grow in Mississippi,” says Lindsey Sartain, director of adult pro-

grams for USTA Mississippi. “We will have over 1,200 players coming to the Northside to

compete during the four-day event,” continues Sartain.

The player party will be held at Reservoir Pointe in Ridgeland. Volunteer members of

the committee have worked hand in hand with Greer and Thorgeson as well as Lindsey

Sartain. Chairman of the committee is Carrie Starks and committee members are Terry

Overcash, Mitch Peters, Jean Tonnar-Seale, Georgia Spencer, Anita Stamps and Susan

Toler. Jake Greer with Jackson Convention and Visitors Bureau and Mena Thorgeson

with Ridgeland Tourism Commission have put in countless hours assisting the committee

during the year as well.

Host hotels are Cabot Lodge Ridgeland and Jackson Hilton Hotel. Lori Reed with Cabot

Lodge and Megan Elder with Hilton have worked with Starks in getting the best rates for

traveling players.

Play will be at Bridges Tennis Center, Ridgeland Tennis Center, Castlewood’s Country

Club, Country Club of Jackson, Jackson State University and The Racquet Club at

Cypress Lakes. All facilities are donating the use of the courts with no court fees charged.

Other sponsors for the Southern Combo Doubles Championships are Southern Farm

Bureau, Capital City Beverage, Brown Bottling, Jackson Heart, and Nick’s Restaurant.

Stop by any of these facilities over the weekend to watch some outstanding tennis.

As the holiday season nears and you start making your Christmas lists, think tennis for

those that play this great game. Lessons from some of the finest pros in the South are

available all across the Northside, tennis clothes or equipment and even a USTA mem-

bership are just some ideas for Christmas gifts. As always, for all of your tennis needs,

n o v e m b e r 2 0 1 2 53

A s I started planning my tablescape for Thanksgiving, I wondered

how the settlers of the new world set their table. It’s hard to imagine the

Pilgrims bringing out the paper plates and a stack of plastic cups to cele-

brate their safe travel to the new world, as their Native American guests

looked on in horror at disposable

dinnerware at a Thanksgiving feast.

I went on to ponder - at what point

does convenience outweigh the civil-

ity and beauty of actually using fine

things at the dinner table? The

cleanup after the meal might be easi-

er, but have you ever used those

plastic forks and knives to cut any-

thing tougher than mashed potatoes

on a paper

plate? The plas-

tic prongs bend

or snap, the

knives are a joke

and disposable plates are never guaranteed to make it

from the buffet line to the table without folding in half

like a taco. It may mean more cleanup time in the

kitchen after the meal, but I am an advocate of func-

tion over convenience.

Using real dinnerware does come with conse-

quences. The first Thanksgiving dinner that my chil-

dren were old enough to be seated at the dining room

table, my son threw his tiny silver fork and shattered

my husband’s glass sending chards of glass and red

wine all over the table. Had I used plastic cups, we would have eliminated

the chance of broken glass in the turkey and dressing. Our meal could

have been ruined – instead we quickly pulled another plate and glass from

the china cabinet and carried on. I have no desire to eat glass, but as long

as there is running water and a breath left in my body, there will never be a

red solo cup at my dining room table – the only exception to this self-

imposed rule is for special guests: toddlers and Toby Keith.

Recently, I overheard a woman

saying she uses her fine china

once a year - on her anniversary.

I am amazed at the number of

people who do not use the

“good china.” My response,

(while not always a verbal) is

what are you waiting for?

Realistically, what is the worst

thing that could happen – you

break a

plate or

that you

would have

to wash

the dishes? I understand that dinnerware is an invest-

ment and that time is money, but chances are you’ve

spent more money on paper plates over the last year

than it would have cost to replace a broken dinner

plate. Not to mention, the fancy dishwasher in your

kitchen probably has a “china and crystal” setting that

you’ve never even used.

There is a misconception about the durability of fine

china. Sure it may cost more, but it is actually more

durable and functional than you think. While all din-

nerware falls into the category of ceramics, there are structural and chemi-

cal differences in casual dinnerware and fine china. There are four major

types of dinnerware: earthenware, stoneware, porcelain and bone china.

FOODWISE

Marlana Walters, ProprietorThe Everyday Gourmet

A BLENDED TABLEYOU HAVE PERMISSION TO MIX BONE CHINA

AND EARTHENWARE OR PORCELAIN AND STONEWARET E X T A N D P H O T O G R A P H Y B Y M A R L A N A W A L T E R S


FOODWISE

All are made from clay and

fired to harden. The primary dif-

ference in all dinnerware is the

type of clay, glazing technique

and firing temperature.

• Earthenware is made from a

mixture of clay and sand and is

usually fired at temperatures

between 1745°F and 2012°F.

The low fire technique results

in porous pottery that is not as

strong or chip resistant as

stoneware or porcelain pottery,

but an ideal medium for hand-

painted and embossed designs. The lower firing

temperatures allow for more intense color than

would be possible with other types of ceramics.

Earthenware can be strengthened by glazing.

Glazing hardens the surface of the pottery, making

it non-porous and allowing earthenware pieces to

be used for cooking. Spirit Song pottery is made in

Oxford with beautiful use of color and embellish-

ments on each piece.

• Stoneware is made from grittier clay with a high-

er sand content. Stoneware is fired at high tempera-

tures, between 2100° F and 2300° F, revealing

strong and chip resistant pottery. Stoneware is often

used to

make mugs

and baking dishes and can be

safely heated in ovens and

microwaves. Stoneware is a popu-

lar choice for dinnerware because

it’s durable and less expensive

than porcelain. It can be glazed in

a wide variety of colors and finish-

es (matte, satin and shiny) for

diverse designs. One of the few

American made stoneware manu-

facturers is The Good Earth pottery

in Starkville.

• Porcelain is the most expensive

kind of pottery and commonly the material of high-end dinnerware.

Porcelain is made from very refined white clay with ingredients such as

feldspar, granite and glass. Because of the clay composition, porcelain

can be fired at temperatures over 2300° F. Porcelain has a more delicate

appearance than stoneware and

tends to be thinner and lighter.

Porcelain is the safest pottery to use

in the kitchen because it is non-

stick, non-porous and dishwasher

safe. Pickard China is America’s old-

est fine china company.

• Bone China is the most durable

ceramic. Made from a mixture of

finely ground bone ash (mostly ox

bone) and highly refined clay, bone

china is typically fired at tempera-

tures over 2200° F. It is pure white

or cream and translucent; when

holding it to a

light with your hand behind the china, the shadow of

your hand should be revealed. Lenox Corporation is

the only fine bone china factory in the United States.

Who said casual dinnerware and fine china can’t dine

together? Well, there probably is a book somewhere

that says not to intermingle patterns, but those rules

don’t apply here. Mixing and matching fine china and

everyday dinnerware can be beautiful. Over time our

styles change, sometimes we need a pop of color or

we’re feeling nostalgic and want to use our grand-

mother’s china with our funky chargers. You have per-

mission to mix bone china and earthenware or porce-

lain and stoneware – but paper and plastic are off-lim-

its at the dining

room table. I had a lot of fun adding

a little edge to traditional formal set-

tings and this year my holiday tables

will have a blend of casual and for-

mal dinnerware.

While the rules for setting the prop-

er table may be more relaxed, thank

goodness that some things remain

constant: We still gather around a

table to share a meal served on a

plate and eat with utensils. This

Thanksgiving, I would encourage you

to use something old with something

new. Just as the Pilgrims and Native

Americans gathered to give thanks, their table arrangement was likely a

mix of traditional formal dinnerware and rustic pottery pieces. Your table

should be blended too. Happy Thanksgiving.

Aservice of worship celebrating and blessing the marriage of Camille Jesse Lynn Allen and

Drew Landon Snyder was at 6:30 p.m., October 29 at Northminster Baptist Church. The

bride’s parents are Mr. and Mrs. David Bennett Allen. The bridegroom is the son of Mr.

and Mrs. Edwin Arnold Snyder.

The bride is the granddaughter of Mrs. William Jesse DuBard and the late Mr. DuBard of Drew, and the

late Mr. and Mrs. Neville Gray Allen of Laurel. The bridegroom is the grandson of Lois Corban Akin of

Brandon and the late Francis Geoghegan of Jackson, and the late Mr. and Mrs. D.W. Snyder of Eupora.

The candlelight ceremony was officiated by the Rev. Charles Eugene Poole. Organist Billy Ruel

Trotter, along with the Jackson String Quartet, presented a program of nuptial music. Shirley Sanders

Foster and Connie Sills Kossen were soloists.

Given in marriage by her father, the bride wore a designer gown of ivory silk satin, fashioned with a

shirred strapless sweetheart neckline. The gown was encircled with a ribbon belt centered with

Swarovski crystals at the natural waistline. Mirror beads and pearls adorned the hand-tufted pick-up

skirt sweeping into a chapel train. A long cape cut ribbon edged her cathedral-length veil. The bride

carried a traditional hand-tied bouquet of white hydrangeas, ranunculuses, antique garden roses,

peonies, and freesias in shades of white. Pinned to her bouquet was an heirloom handkerchief, which

both her grandmother and mother used on their wedding day, and she carried her late maternal grand-

father’s small Bible. The bride wore a vintage lace garter made from her grandmother’s wedding gown.

For something borrowed, she placed her mother’s six-pence in her shoe. The bride also wore a dia-

mond bracelet, a wedding gift from the bridegroom, and diamond pendant earrings.

Attending the bride as her maid of honor was her sister, Courtney Elizabeth Allen of Dalton, Ga.

Bridesmaids were Lacey Doubleday Campbell and Lauren Lee Favreau, both of Washington, D.C.;

Angela Arnold Forester of Oxford; Blair Russell Haws of Houston, Texas; Katherine Hopkins Long of

Atlanta; Glenda Lois Montague of Chicago; and Kelly Jane Price of High Point, N.C. They wore metallic
