New Sculpture Trail

OXFORD ARTS CRAWL

Yoknapatawpha Arts Council

BY JEFF MCVAY

or locals or visitors new to town, the Yoknapatawpha Arts Council recognizes a sculpture trail right in the heart of Oxford that features three outstanding sites for sculpture art. The featured sites include: Powerhouse Sculpture Garden located at 413 South 14th Street; Meek Hall, located in the center of the Ole Miss campus; and Pat Lamar Park located on Country Club Road across from Ole Miss. “The trail represents Oxford’s vibrant arts culture, and the trail’s beautiful green spaces are at the heart of what makes our 4

community great,” said Wayne Andrews, YAC director. “It is our hope that this trail and these spaces for artwork will be a source of enjoyment for residents and visitors for years to come.”

New Sculptures Welcome

The locally managed Yokna Sculpture Trail features a rotating exhibit of 18 large-scale sculptures designed by local, regional and national renowned exhibiting artists. The collaboration between the City of Oxford, the University of Mississippi and YAC is the first

outdoor sculpture program of its kind in north Mississippi. Exhibition dates for the new trail are officially set for March 1, 2016, through April 1, 2018. A Yokna Sculpture Trail reception is also planned for the Double Decker Arts Festival this spring. “Each year we rotate some of the artwork on the sculpture trail creating a changing public art exhibit,” Andrews said. “That practice helps keep the exhibit fresh, invites new artist to the community and allows us to connect students at the university with leading artists.”

launches from the Powerhouse in Oxford at 6 p.m. The Double Decker bus shuttles visitors from the Powerhouse to the UM Museum, the Square and the Ole Miss campus to enjoy various kinds of art around the city. “It (the art crawl) inspires residents and visitors to set aside time to view art using the monthly event as a way to recharge the mind as they discover the everchanging exhibits available daily in our community,” Andrews said. For more information on the sculpture trail or the Oxford Arts Crawl visit oxfordarts.com or call YAC at 662-236-6429.

Contributed by Bill Dabney, UM Foundation and Ole Miss Sports Information he Pavilion at Ole Miss is open and includes a food court, technology hub and the largest center-hung video board in all of college basketball. “The unique features we thought of as we designed that building, the front door of Ole Miss 6

Athletics along All-American drive between the stadium, the FedEx center, and now the Pavilion, are becoming a reality,” Athletic Director, Ross Bjork, said. The food court area is in the north center lobby of the Pavilion and has a Steak ‘n Shake and

Raising Cane’s, and Old Venice Pizza Company is located in the south of the Pavilion. The restaurants maintain regular business hours during the week and are part of the concession offerings during athletic and special events. Apart from being a basketball and special events arena, the Pavilion at Ole Miss is a technology hub. Sponsored by C-Spire, the new “SpeedZone” allows students, faculty and fans to connect in a “unique way” when they enter the Pavilion. “The Speedzone delivers tomorrow’s technology today to an area that is quickly becoming a very busy part of campus,” Hu Meena, president and CEO for C Spire, said. “We are supporting the Ole Miss community by accelerating the flow of information. We’re excited about the future and the opportunities we expect this hightech infrastructure will unlock for students, and, on game days, Rebel fans.” The space itself is highly contemporary, featuring digital displays of Ole Miss sports on Twitter feeds, other social media content and traditional news feeds. All furnishings are power-port enabled, allowing students to sit down, plug in and have instant high-speed Internet access using their electronic devices and laptop computers.

The Pavilion also holds the largest center-hung video board in all of college basketball. The board is anchored by four screens measuring 12 feet tall and 22 feet wide.

“It is more than double what we have in the coliseum right now,” Bjork said. “We did that on purpose to create a unique game day experience inside the Pavilion.” Behind the Pavilion is a new parking garage fans can use, which will be open to faculty and students in the fall semester. Tickets for all Ole Miss basketball games are available at OleMissHoops.com. Facility highlights of The Pavilion at Ole Miss:

·More than 225,000 total square feet ·Seats approximately 9,500 fans; includes 1,700 premium seats ·Houses men’s, women’s locker rooms at almost 1,500 square feet ·Largest center-hung video display board in college sports with nearly 2,400 square feet of LED ·Concourse highlighted by the C Spire Speedzone, which includes Steak ‘n Shake, Raising Cane’s, Rebel Locker Room by Lids and a ticket office ·Includes five-story parking garage with more than 800 spaces Download the hottytoddy.com app today!

Oxford Native, Sam Haskell, Produces Dolly Parton’s “Coat of Many Colors” By Jeff McVay After a lifetime of devoted, heartfelt entertainment in both film and on stage – whatever Dolly Parton wants, Dolly Parton deserves – and one of Oxford’s beloved residents is more than happy to deliver. Sam Haskell, a longtime friend and associate of Parton’s, was approached by the multitalented singer, producer and actress who asked him to help produce four movies for NBC 10

based on her songs. “Dolly and I sold NBC these four TV movies based on her songs,” Haskell said, “and since each tells a story, it gives us a jumping off place to then find and hire writers who can come in and share my vision and Dolly’s vision.” Haskell, the former executive vice president and worldwide head of television for the William Morris Agency and executive chairman and CEO of the Miss America Organization, more than qualifies for the task.

A Tale of Truth

“Faith, hope, family, forgiveness, love – that’s what ‘Coat of Many Colors’ is about,” Haskell said, “but, there are other really important messages in this movie other than that; like anti-bullying which was just as prevalent in the 50s as it is today, and it can be cruel.” Additionally, and keeping everything close to home, Ole Miss alum and Haskell’s close friend of 30 years, Gerald McRaney, plays Parton’s grandfather. Haskell’s daughter, Mary Lane Haskell, plays the part of Miss Moody, the most influential of Dolly’s grade school teachers. “Dolly was bullied as a child and it was through the love of her family and her teacher that she was saved from that,” Haskell said. The film takes a bearing of inspiration and faith concentrating on incidents in her and her family’s life around the time she was nine years old – in the Great Smoky Mountains of Tennessee.

Film Production

“This production team was brought together specifically for this project,” Haskell said. “Each

of the other films will have their own production team.” Alyvia Alyn Lind portrays nine-year-old Dolly Parton, with Jennifer Nettles as Parton’s mother and Ricky Schroder as her father. Along with co-executive production duties with Parton and Haskell, the film is written by Pamela K.Long and is directed by Stephen Herek. The film is produced by Magnolia Hill Entertainment and DP Productions film in association with Warner Brothers Television. Parton’s songs “Jolene” and “The Seeker” are also part of the Dolly Parton movie series on NBC, which are scheduled to be released at a later date. “‘Coat of Many Colors’ is just a beautiful, beautiful movie,” Haskell said.

T&T PLUMBING KEEPS EVERYTHING CLOSE TO HOME By Jeff Mcvay

TIM TRAYLOR, OWNER OF T&T PLUMBING, LLC., KNOWS IT IS IMPORTANT TO KEEP THINGS CLOSE TO HOME. With a wife, Wendy, three kids and a successful business, Traylor does not see a move anytime in his near future – although, he suspects his wife might rather be on a beach somewhere. As far as his profession, his plumbing career began when he was a high school student and apprentice in the plumbing business. Traylor, who graduated from Oxford High School in 1994, has 23 years of successful, uninterrupted experience in the plumbing industry. “I think it was in my junior year at Oxford High School when I got a job with Plumbline,” Traylor said. “At the time, Dave Harris owned it and he called me to see if I was interested in a job. He hired me to work that summer and through my senior year of high school.”

Learning the Trade

Harris hired Traylor while he was enrolled in a cooperative management class, which required students to have a job during enrollment since students were graded on job performance. “He (Harris) actually had to grade me for performance and send it in to my teacher,” Traylor explained. Traylor remained employed with Plumbline for approximately six years and moved to Bill’s Plumbing for an additional six years before obtaining his personal license around 2003. Since then, Traylor has earned his master’s plumbing license as well.

The Start of T&T Plumbing, LLC.

In 2004, Traylor left the employment of others and set out to open and license his own plumbing business, T&T Plumbing, LLC. “When I very first started doing

plumbing work on my own, I was doing it under Tim Traylor’s Plumbing Service and decided I needed a name with a little more catch to it. Me and my wife started bouncing names around and we came up with T&T Plumbing, LLC, and it stuck,” Traylor said. As far as a specialty, T&T Plumbing concentrates predominantly on the service aspect of the industry, but he and his apprentice of two years also tackle new installs and more complex plumbing challenges.

ultimately skilled at whatever you may need to be done in the plumbing universe. Why not keep it close to home? Traylor and T&T Plumbing is licensed, bonded and insured and can be reached at 662-816-2169.

Clients and Specials

“I’ve got clients and customers that I’ve been doing work for about 20 years,” Traylor said. “I’ve done plumbing work for your regular Joe all the way up to Archie Manning.” One other area worthy of mention is that T&T Plumbing tackles tankless water heaters. Traylor completes their installation, service and repair. “Kind of by accident, I’ve become known as the ‘go-to’ guy for tankless water heaters,” Traylor said. “I don’t claim to know everything there is to know about them, but they definitely keep me busy as well.” Whether by accident or not, T&T Plumbing, LLC is local, loyal and

THE MEEK SCHOOL OF JOURNALISM AND NEW MEDIA

GROWING RAPIDLY By Emily Newton The University of Mississippi’s Meek School of Journalism and New Media is one of the fastest growing schools on the university campus. As of fall 2015, the Meek School has 1,322 students seeking a bachelor of arts in journalism or a bachelor of science in integrated marketing communications (IMC). The Meek School has 505 journalism students and 817 IMC students. Students can emphasize their journalism majors in broadcast, magazine, print journalism and public relations. The Meek School Dean, Will Norton, credits the growth of the school to the faculty. “The growth is because of the great faculty who have created an outstanding curriculum,” Dean Norton said. “The teachers care about their students. They love to help them succeed.”

According to data provided by the Assistant Dean, Charles Mitchell, the average growth of the school is about 25 percent per year, which triumphs other schools at the University of Mississippi. “On the official census date for the fall semester, the number of undergraduates was up 279 over the same date in fall 2014,” Dean Mitchell said. “The rate is more than five new students per week during the 52-week year – one new student everyday.”

IMC Growth

Although, both degrees offered at the Meek School are growing, the IMC degree is seeing substantial growth. In May 2014, the school had 515 students seeking a degree in IMC and by May 2015 the number jumped to 747 with a one-year increase of 45 percent.

“While Journalism is growing, the IMC program was the right new degree at the right time and has seen explosive increases,” Dean Mitchel said. “Today’s students are the most communication-intensive of any generation in the history of mankind. Feeding this demand for an informed, effective approach to information-and marketing- related communications is what the school does.”

Growing the Future

There are only about six other universities in the U.S. that offers a Bachelor’s of Science in IMC. According to Dean Norton’s quadrennial review, and the University of Mississippi has the largest IMC class. Scott Fiene, Professor and Program Director of IMC, said the program will see more growth in the future. The

program is less than five years old, but the numbers keep increasing. “We’re recognizing the importance of even more computer skills and are in the midst of adding a computer science sequence,” Fiene said. “We’re recognizing that students need the broad knowledge that comes with IMC, but that they also want to specialize in certain things.” Apart from the academic and growth success of The Meek School, alumni are finding success in their professions or in graduate school. As of the fall of 2015, 35 students are enrolled in graduate school at the Meek School to earn their masters. Alumni of The Meek School land jobs in multiple media platforms, and will continue to reach new successes each year. For more information visit meek.olemiss.edu.

Oyster & Seafood: Living Up to the Hype BY LIZ BARRETT FOSTER, EATING OXFORD EDITOR

s one of Oxford’s newest restaurants located off of the Square, you may wonder what the draw is at Oyster & Seafood at 1518 W. Jackson Ave. General Manager, Justin Hill, said that menu variety keeps the restaurant’s fans coming back. “We offer seafood prepared several different ways, from grilled to blackened to fried,” Hill said. “It’s all fresh and made to order on the spot.” And while Oyster & Seafood regularly promotes itself in the local press, on Kroger receipts and via a billboard on Highway 6, Hill said that most guests come in after reading a positive online review or after hearing a friend talk about a favorite entree. “A couple of Oyster & Seafood’s best sellers are the steam plates and bacon-wrapped salmon,” Hill said. “Our chef, Leif Miller, will be introducing several new items in 2016, such as additional grilled items for the lunch menu, lamb chops and

shrimp and grits.” In addition to its popular lunch and dinner offerings, Oyster & Seafood has a full bar and several opportunities to take advantage of discount promotions. “On Sundays, you can bring in your church bulletin and receive 10 percent off of your order,” Hill said. “And, in addition to the coupons on the reverse side of Kroger’s receipts, we also randomly run specials on our Facebook page; just watch for them, because they can appear on any day.” Hill is quick to point out that Oyster & Seafood has a casual and family-friendly environment that invites you to come as you are. “We’ve become a lunch and dinner destination for local singles, students, couples and families,” Hill said. “It’s a great place for friends to gather over lunch or happy hour, couples to enjoy a date night, or families to connect over Sunday lunch.”

Oyster & Seafood is open Tuesday through Sunday 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. and until 11 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. For more information, call 662-380-5182 or visit them at 1518 W. Jackson Ave Download the hottytoddy.com app today!

Delta Steak Co. Makes a Home in Abbeville By Liz Barrett Foster, Eating Oxford editor “I’ve always been fascinated with small towns,” said Allen Sanders, executive chef and co-owner of Delta Steak Company, who grew up in tiny Arcola, Mississippi, and now feels quite content in his restaurant’s new digs in Abbeville. “The new location has the feeling we were always going for from the beginning.” Allen’s wife and Delta Steak Company co-owner, Erin, agrees, saying that she loves the feeling of relaxation that comes over you when you drive into town and step inside the restaurant. A New Location “You won’t always find matching chairs or silverware here, but I think that’s part of the charm.” When the Sanders moved the restaurant to Abbeville eight months ago, not everyone was excited about it.

“A lot of people think Abbeville is far away, but it’s really only 10 minutes from Oxford,” Allen said. Now Allen’s response to those who say the drive is too far is, “Just make the drive once.” New Lunch Menu As for the Delta Steak Company menu, you can still find the famous steaks and Delta tamales carried over from the Oxford location for dinner, in addition to a new lunch menu offered Tuesday through Saturday. Country breakfast, complete with biscuits, sausage and gravy is served piping hot on Saturday mornings. “Our lunch chef, Adam Tuck, creates lunch specials such as hamburger steak, fried catfish and spaghetti, during the week,” Erin said. “One of our best-selling daily lunch items is our Delta Burger topped with pimento cheese and bacon.”

Care for a beverage? Abbeville may be dry, but Delta Steak Company has resort status. “We’re the first establishment in Abbeville to serve alcohol since the 1920s,” Erin said, “and the locals enjoy having somewhere to purchase a glass of wine or beer.” “We’re so thankful that the community of Abbeville has embraced us,” Erin said. “We’ve been

having live blues and country music every other weekend and plan to open a back patio in the spring.” For more information, including catering menus and delivery options, visit DeltaSteakCompany.com or call 662-234-0130. The restaurant is located in the heart of Abbeville at 1 Business 7 North.

The Blake at Oxford Offers Modern, Compassionate Senior Care By Randall Haley The Blake at Oxford is well positioned in the burgeoning Oxford Commons community and provides a unique offering to seniors and their families throughout north Mississippi. The 85,000 square-foot brand new community features suites designed for comfortable, safe and enjoyable living. The 66 assisted living suite options include both one-bedroom and two-bedroom suites. Additionally, The Blake offers 34 Memory Support suites for residents in need of Alzheimer’s and dementia care. Each resident is cared for and monitored on a 24 hour basis. “Our leaders have broad experience in both senior living and the hospitality industries, and our developers have designed the

community with this worry-free resort model in mind,” Jeremy Cole, BMG CEO, said.

The Blake Community

With locations across the South, Blake managed communities blend modern and Southern sensibilities with compassionate care. “Oxford has become such a wonderful retirement destination. There also seems to be such a draw to Oxford from the alumni,” Jeremy Cole, BMG CEO, said. “You know they love the opportunity to come back to Oxford, to be able to enjoy the things that are going on at the university and being here for ballgames. So it’s kind of a logical place to come and retire. We have a

number of Ole Miss alums with us.” In order to provide constant and consistent care, Blake communities have nursing care around the clock and a chef to create menus specifically tailored to residents’ dietary needs. “I look at every service delivered, every meal served and every care plan we create for residents through the lens of if it would be good enough for my mother,” Cole said. It is at The Blake that those looking for the best in care and quality of life will also find the best value and programming. “Our Blake team is partnered with local healthcare networks to create a comprehensive wellness program,” Glenn Barclay, COO of BMG, said. “Services are at our residents’ fingertips, whether it’s a doctor, medication, home health or physical therapy.”

Community Engagement

Apart from wonderful medical care for its residents, The Blake at Oxford is looking forward to engaging with the local community and the

Ole Miss students. Laura Barber, Director of Sales for The Blake, mentions the endless possibilities of community involvement. “We have the tremendous benefit of this great university in our own backyard,” Barber said. “We are looking forward to many opportunities such as having students come and practice music here, journalism students to come and hone their skills by interviewing our seniors and helping to write their memoirs.” The Blake also plans to get their residents involved in activities around the city such as visits to museums, historic landmarks, seeing plays preformed locally and interacting with the local schools. “We’re so excited over what we have to offer Oxford, and we’re thrilled over the beautiful community of neighbors who make The Blake their home. It’s a lovely thing,” Barber said. Visit blakeliving.com or call 662-234-5050 for more information regarding The Blake at Oxford. Download the hottytoddy.com app today!

Early settlers and land speculators started coming in this area of north Mississippi after the Chickasaw Cession of 1832. An act of the Mississippi legislature formed twelve counties from this cession and on Febuary 9, 1836, Lafayette County was chartered.

Settlers formed a church at College Hill and later the North Mississippi College. Two men from Maury County, Tennessee, partnered with a settler from Alabama to speculate in land purchases and sales. The two from Tennessee were John J. Craig and John D. Martin. The one from Alabama was John Chisholm. In 1835, John J. Craig built a log cabin on a ridge near the center of what would become Lafayette

County. This building was the first outpost or store in the area south of the Tallahatchie River and north of the Yockeney-Patafa River. Craigâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nephew, Thomas Dudley Isom, ran the store. The log cabin store was located where present day Boure Restaurant is now located. Later, Isom would go to Pennsylvania to study medicine and come back to Oxford to set up a practice.

Formation of the County Seat Indians in the hierarchy of the Chickasaw Nation were allotted land to sell or keep. Martin, Chisholm and Craig purchased a section of land, 640 acres, for $1.25 per acre from an Indian lady by the name Hoka. The enterprising young land speculators then gave 50 acres to the county for the county seat. This 50 acres would generate proceeds for the new county to construct the first courthouse and the first jail from the sale of lots to the public. It should be pointed out that another Chickasaw in the area also owned land that would be within the city limits of the new county seat. My grandfatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 10 acres on south Lamar, just before you get to the by-pass convenience stores, was first owned by Eah Na Yea.

There was debate in the state legislature and around the state of an idea to form and construct a new state university to educate the young men of the state. No town had as of yet been designated for the location. Isom surmised that with a name like Oxford, it would denote a seat of higher learning in the state. There were 20 towns in Mississippi that were purposed for the site of the new state university. Isomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan worked, and Oxford won the voting by one vote-58-57. Wagons in front of the Lafayette County Courthouse.

Naming Oxford and Formation of Ole Miss At a meeting of the local white settlers, a discussion on the name for the new county seat was brought up. Isom said the town should be called Oxford, and it was calculated to bring recognition. Download the hottytoddy.com app today!

Bank of Commerce Oxford More Than Just A Bank By Angela Rogalski The Bank of Commerce has been serving customers in Greenwood, Mississippi, since 1904. The financial institution started small and opened its temporary quarters in the offices of T.R. Henderson — a respected medical doctor who served as charter member and first president of the Bank of Commerce. Today, the bank is going strong with locations in its hometown of Greenwood and locations in Oxford and Starkville. Matt Parham is city president of the Oxford Branch and has been with the financial institution since 2008. “The Oxford location has been opened since 2005,” Parham said. “We offer any type of consumer checking, savings, loans and mortgages, and of course, business checking, deposits, and small and larger commercial loans.”

Online Services

The Bank of Commerce in Oxford, and all locations, offers online banking

for its customer’s convenience and a mobile phone app that currently has no charge associated with the service. “However, there may be charges associated with text messaging and data usage on your phone,” Parham said. “Check with your wireless phone carrier for more information, and of course, you must first enable your bank account(s) for online banking before using mobile.”

Small Town Atmosphere

Parham said one of the best things about Bank of Commerce is the small town atmosphere the institution offers and the fast, friendly customer service. “We love being a small community bank that can take care of your needs locally with fast service,” Parham said, “and we are very proud to announce that we will be opening another branch in downtown Columbus, Mississippi within the next 60 days.” At present, all Bank of Commerce locations are open Monday-Thursday – 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and on Friday 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Download the hottytoddy.com app today!

TOP-NOTCH

HOMETOWN SERVICES By Emily Newton

Founded in 1892 in Water Valley, Mississippi, Mechanic’s Bank has several locations throughout Yalobusha and Lafayette Counties, which provide topnotch customer service and a full array of mortgage, consumer, and commercial lending. “While we have always served residents of Oxford and Lafayette County, our first Oxford branch opened in 1995 inside Larson’s Cash Saver,” Tami Tacke, Mechanic’s Bank marketing and advertising director, said.

As the oldest home-banking service in the two counties, Mechanic’s Bank now has assets totaling over $200 million. For over a century, the bank has made the quality of its products and services its mission. “Our mission is to provide quality products and services to people that value relationship banking,” Tacke said. “While meeting our customer’s banking needs, we strive to exceed their expectations so that they will want to introduce others to our bank.” A major part of Mechanic’s Bank notoriety

in Oxford is its mortgage lending services. While the regulatory requirements for mortgage lending is substantial, each officer and employee is committed to making the lending process as straight forward as possible. “When you are making what is most likely the largest investment of your life, a home purchase, you should have the option of meeting with someone face to face or at least knowing where they are if you have questions,” Tacke said. Additionally, Mechanic’s Bank offers fantastic online and mobile services to make your banking simple. With two locations in Water Valley and three in Oxford, you can be sure the fine people at Mechanic’s Bank are committed to serving you as well as the communities they serve. “The bankers at Mechanics volunteer their free time with various charity and

civic organizations,” Tacke said. “We are dedicated to making a positive impact through service and financially, especially in education and business development.” According to Mechanic’s Bank, there are several charities that benefit from the time and money of their officers and employees, such as Lafayette and Yalobusha County school districts, Chamber of Commerce and Economic and Development Organizations, local lions, and rotary clubs, to name a few. “The most important thing to me about Mechanics is the respect we have for our customers and our ability to do the right thing for the customer, not just the bank,” Tacke said.

Keila Ward Skin Therapies Offers Professional Treatment, Spa Relaxation By Callie Daniels Bryant

At Keila Ward Skin Therapies located 406 Galleria Circle, Suite 5, a client can get a thorough professional treatment with the relaxation of a spa. Ward is a licensed aesthetician who has been practicing since 1985. She works by appointment only, which can that last from 45 minutes to two hours. “There’s no need for a rush. I want my clients to have a professional and spa treatment at the same time,” Ward said.

Treatments Ward offers a variety of skin treatments suitable for young people as young as 13 struggling with acne to aging people in their 70s wanting to

minimize wrinkles or skin damage. On her list of services are dermaplaning that polishes the skin while removing facial hair; signature oxygen facial that rejuvenates skin cells beyond the surface; and European facials that vacuums away blackheads followed by mask toning and moisture therapy. Among her services is the Impulso face lift that diminishes wrinkles by stimulating facial muscles to contract and tighten. “The Impulso face lift is good for aging. It is exercise for your face as it pulls the muscles upwards in a way that tones your face,” Ward said. “Hyaluronic acid and natural fluids evaporates with age, and the Impulso helps penetrate this fluid into the deeper layers of the skin. It also can help with puffy eyes.” Another skincare tool is the highfrequency aesthetic machine that zapsliterally- bacteria and facial impurities. “I have had teenagers ask for that one so I could ‘zap’ their zits before their proms or rehearsals,” Ward said. Ward also has a microdermabrasion tool that physically sloughs off dead skin cells, thus effective on acne scarring and sun damage.

She enrolled at Allure Career College in Tucson, Arizona. Since graduation, she utilized her knowledge to educate other aestheticians on new skincare treatments and to help those struggling with skin allergens that require specialized products beyond the usual merchandise in any drugstore.

Keila Cosmetics She supplies her own brand of skincare products and makeup lines that do not have ingredients that can be inflammatory to skin: mineral oil, beeswax, paraffin and petroleum. In 2014, Ward relocated her business from Meridian to Oxford and she has experienced great success. Jennifer McClure, a client from Oxford, recommends Ward’s services. “Not only pampering, but also extremely effective, her facial treatments bring out the best in your skin. My skin hasn’t glowed this way in years,” McClure said. A session at Keila Ward’s Skin Therapies can be quite the experience for her clients as they leave her office looking and feeling fresh.

Experience Her passion shows in her thorough attention to intricate differences in her clients’ skin needs. That passion stems from a life-changing event, a successful skin treatment. “I planned on being a gymnastics coach when I was younger. I had issues with my skin and one day, an aesthetician helped improve my complexion,” Ward said. “She taught me about allergens in cosmetics and I wanted to keep learning since.” Download the hottytoddy.com app today!

Lafayette County Biking, Hiking Trails Brings Wilderness to Exercise By Jeff McVay

An extremely popular outlet for hikers and mountain bike riders is located immediately on our back doorstep and its popularity is indisputable. The trails play host to a swarm of locals who frequent them on a regular basis. With areas labeled North Loop, South Loop, Middle Earth and Beginner, the complexity of the trail system and its maze is awe-inspiring. Accessible from many locations, the loop of trails runs from the Oxford Train Depot just outside of the Oxford Square to Thacker Mountain Road. The trails are approximately four miles of raw Lafayette County wilderness for bikers and hikers- no motorized vehicles allowed. A majority of the trails’ maintenance seems to be done by a group of locals called “Friends of

Thacker Mountain Trails”. There you will find hundreds of postings and photos featuring the raw beauty of the track and directions of how to get there and, hopefully, not get turned around. According to the Dream Vacation magazine, these loops of trails are one of the best things to do in Oxford. “The Oxford Depot Trail and the Thacker Mountain Rail Trail are part of a network of bicycle and pedestrian trails that link the community of Oxford. The one mile Oxford Depot Trail extends from Molly Barr Road to Old Taylor Road,” the magazine said.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Through a series of bike lanes, sidewalks and roadways, the Oxford Depot Trail connects with the Thacker Mountain RailTrail; 2.79 miles of trail from Front Street to Thacker Mountain Road.â&#x20AC;? Grab your hiking gear or mountain bike, and enjoy the raw beauty and hard work of this Lafayette County jewel. Possibly the best directions found to enter the trails are: from the north side exit of Route 6 on Chucky Mullins Drive, head away from Ole Miss and park near the Old Whirlpool Plant. A crosswalk can be found across Chucky Mullins Drive where the trail starts. Have fun and be safe!

The steam sauna is a massage done under

a steam canopy and is completely private, which gives the client a chance to deeply relax and unwind. “The head is not heated during a Steamy Wonder Spa™ treatment, making it more comfortable and avoiding dizziness and overheating associated with saunas,” Mullink said. “Clients are lying down allowing even blood circulation and deeper relaxation.” According to Mullink, the steam sauna massage has immense health benefits such as: detoxification, beautiful skin, stress relief, joint pain relief, ease of sore muscles, sports recovery, allergy and asthma relief, improvement of circulation, reducing inflammation and eases the pain for

those with Fibromyalgia. The new infrared sauna is becoming the most popular sauna and massage combo, according to Mullink, due to the health benefits. “It is possible to burn up to 500 calories during the sauna. Weight loss, detoxification, pain relief, cardio and anti-aging are all benefits of the infrared sauna,” Mullink said. “The infrared sauna can be combined with any of our therapeutic massages.” The sauna can be done privately before or after the massage. While you are relaxing, you can enjoy the music therapy that wraps you in a gentle massage of music, or login in the android tablet and watch a movie or enjoy the internet.

In addition, Live Well has added the services of a virtual life coach. The virtual life coach helps clients handle stress and other life issues. Virtual life coach, Elaine Miller, is a licensed clinical professional counselor and has her master degree in Educational Counseling. “We have added a virtual life coach who will help the client deal with their stress and other life issues,” Mullink said. “A life coach will help the client map the direction of their life by setting goals and laying out plans and defining skills on which to focus.” For more details visit Live Well Therapeutic Massage on its website at Livewelltherapeuticmassage. massagetherapy.com or go see them at their new location at 2621 W.
