CLICK | editor’s letter

Welcome to the New Year and to your new issue of Click magazine. January marks our seventh year in existence covering the people, places and parties of Northwest Mississippi. This month also marks my first year as Click’s Editor-in-Chief. Editing a magazine, to many, may sound like all fun and games; brace yourselves aspiring Carrie Bradshaws: It’s not. Publishing is a complicated pursuit—one that requires working long hours, demanding complex public relations and finding fast fixes to last-minute glitches. That said, I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t have a passion for the magazine and the people to which it caters. Thousands of decisions, not just editorial, go into the production of every issue. From the writing, photography, layout and design of the magazine to meeting advertiser needs, to finding new ways of bringing value to our readers—all of these are parts of making a great magazine that our audience wants to read. In 2012, you probably noticed several changes. From Click’s humble beginnings as a 12-page events magazine to today’s 96 or 104 pages filled with features on culture, food and fashion, Click magazine is a brand that continues to evolve. Some ideas have taken off better than others, and to every reader, I thank you for your patience as we try new things. We will always look for ways to improve the Click brand. Today, Click magazine prints 14,000 copies and distributes to approximately 270-300 locations monthly. We are active on several digital media platforms including web, digital magazine and social media: Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Tumbler—and coming soon, Instagram! During 2012, we introduced several “Special Issues”: the February Weddings, the August Who’s Who and July House & Home. We opened up reader subscription offers; held a sweepstakes; and last May, launched the Click Insider program: a monthly e-newsletter dedicated to sharing promotional offers, news and magazine updates with readers. Finally, something I’m most proud of is Click’s recent decision to extend distribution to Oxford and the greater Memphis area. It has always been my goal to spread our stories, writers and photographers to areas throughout the MidSouth. Why, you may ask? First, and foremost, to bring fresh, exciting content to our readers. Second, to share that which makes our community great with others in the MidSouth. In many ways, we view the magazine as a vehicle for promoting our community. Rest assured that Click will never stray from the mother ship. Our roots are in DeSoto County and the outliers of Northwest Mississippi; (and unlike some publications, we really are “Homegrown”) we really are. The magazine, launched in 2006 by DeSoto County Tribune of Olive Branch, was founded by Jon Alverson as a magazine to highlight the charity, cultural and social events of our community. As an editor, I feel confident that this tradition is still very much alive in the pages of Click today. Last year alone, in addition to regular event coverage of all community events, Click donated $18,025 to support various community and philanthropic organizations and their activities. This is only one of the many ways we support this community about which we care so much. Going forward to 2013, our mission is to produce a magazine that yields a satisfying reader experience with stories that are relevant and new, as well as stories that embody a brand for both readers and advertisers. It is our hope that this brand is a reflection of all that is great about the home we all share. The special wedding issue will continue; next month is our second annual “I Do” issue, filled with real weddings from our readers. We will continue to grow our online presence, offering reader incentives on MyClickMag.com and increasing activity on our Click Insider program with special event invites, discounts from our partners and general updates. Thanks for a great first year and please continue to send comments, suggestions and any other inquiry my way. Keep reading,

All in the Family The story behind the memoir of Angela Fordice Jordan, the daughter of former MS governor Kirk Fordice by SHANA RALEY-LUSK

myclickmag.com | JANUARY 2013 15


CLICK | culture

he human memory is a mysterious and complex thing. It is filled with a million moments, many of them as distinct and brilliant as the stars in the sky on a clear winter night. Sometimes, those memories are orderly and consecutive, like beads on a string. Other memories might be loose and scattered, but no less vivid for their lack of sequence. The human experience is forever shaped by these lasting and meaningful flashes of recollection. In her new book, We End in Joy: Memoirs of a First Daughter, Angela Fordice Jordan has masterfully woven her own personal memories into a beautiful memoir of love, laughter, family and loss. The daughter of controversial Mississippi governor Kirk Fordice, Jordan couples stories from the past with insight gained

T

through years in the public eye to craft an inside look at one of the state’s most talked about first families. The book explores individuals and relationships within the family, taking time to examine the dichotomous nature of Governor Fordice himself. Full of expressive tales from the Fordice family, the book allows readers to be a part of the spiritual journey that the author takes in her attempt to discover the past, search for the truth and look toward the future. Written in a style that is nothing less than graceful, We End in Joy is the captivating record of a daughter’s quest to fit the pieces of the family puzzle into place. This is a book with a powerful and ultimately uplifting message that love indeed endures all.>>

WHAT LED YOU TO PUT THE STORY DOWN ON PAPER? From the time my dad was elected, friends began saying “You need to write a book!” I think the reason it took me so long was that I didn’t know what the story was. Until my father’s run in the governor’s mansion was over, until both of my parents had died, until my own marriage had ended, I was too much in the middle of it to have any perspective, but I began to feel more strongly that I had to write it. Stories heal us and bind us together and make us human. I wanted it to be “the right book” and it took me a long time to know what that was. WERE SOME PARTS OF THE BOOK MORE DIFFICULT TO WRITE THAN OTHERS DUE TO THE PERSONAL NATURE OF ITS SUBJECT MATTER? The funny stories were easy and fun to write. Much of the book was painful, but in some way, it was a relief to write it. Catharsis seems like a trite term which doesn’t cover the alchemy that actually occurred. It’s not that I wrote through the pain and lack of understanding - in some ways, I understand what happened even less. I feel that through the writing I was able to release the story, like papers fed to flames and rising on the currents of smoke, the story is free now. And so am I.

PLEASE TALK ABOUT YOUR WRITING PROCESS. HOW LONG DID IT TAKE TO COMPLETE THE PROJECT? I began the project in 1999. I sent the completed first draft to the publisher in March of 2010, so it took 11 years to get this baby born! As to my process, I wish I could say that I write every day, but I don’t. I seem to need a lot of “fallow time.” I spent so much time in my head, working through it. As the work progressed, I began to pray and to ask for guidance, as I felt very strongly that I wanted a book that not only told the truth, but was also kind. As I got close to the end of the first draft, it came all in a rush. The bulk of the book was done in about a three-month period. WHAT HAS THE REACTION BEEN FROM FAMILY MEMBERS? I let my daughters read it early in the process. All three of them loved it and were so proud of me. My brothers I don’t think took me very seriously when I said over the years that I was working on it. They were indifferent and sometimes discouraging, which I can understand. I think they were nervous and afraid of what I might have said, but when they read it, all three of them were so pleased and so supportive. One of them called it “a wonderful gift” for our family and our descendants. That was quite gratifying. WHAT IS YOUR ADVICE TO FAMILIES IN THE PUBLIC EYE? Find ways to ground yourselves in reality. It is so easy to lose perspective, when eyes are focused on you most of the time. It’s easy to begin to see yourselves as more important or separate from others than you are. And always remember to laugh a lot. WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR FAVORITE THINGS ABOUT GROWING UP SOUTHERN AND LIFE IN THE SOUTH, IN GENERAL? Oh, I feel so privileged to have grown up in the Deep South. The pace is slow, the people are warm and the food is delicious. There is a quiet beauty that permeates everything. Not spectacular like mountains or deserts, but sweet and green and comforting. Think cotton rows stretching to the horizon under a cloud dappled sky; huge old oaks draped in Spanish moss; and of course, the big river, the grandfather of waters, the mighty Mississippi, who nurtured me with its deep waters from my earliest memories.

LEARNING ABOUT VEGAN

food

Imagine Vegan Cafe Peace, Love and Healthy Pub Grub by BETH ARGO

Vegans eat a strict plant-based diet. Most vegans list three main factors that helped influence that decision: compassion for animals; environmental concerns; and of course, the myriad of health benefits. Obviously, Imagine Vegan Cafe’s menu doesn’t really look like your typical health food fare. “Often people in our society are misled into thinking that vegan food is all about health and fancy food you can’t even pronounce. We wanted people to see that you can ‘eat vegan’ and still enjoy comfort food without consuming actual animal products or by-products,” says Kristie Jeffrey, who had been a long-time vegetarian before switching to a vegan diet with her husband nearly four years ago. But eating a dairy-free, egg-free, meatfree diet has its challenges, especially when it comes to dining out. That’s why Kristie, a former flight attendant, and Adam, a musician, decided to open the café in April of 2011. Since then, Imagine Vegan Café has become a popular place for those who partake in a plant-based diet. But, with so many scrumptious stand-ins for meat, dairy and eggs, many non-vegans are eager to give Imagine Vegan Café a try. “We have just as many ‘meat-eaters’ as vegans and vegetarians. Most of the ‘meat-eaters’ that we have come in are either just trying something different or doing one day a week meatless. Many of our customers are trying to reverse some sort of heart disease, diabetes or cancer. That is very common,” says Kristie Jeffrey. Adam Jeffrey adds, “We have a girl that comes in that actually beat leukemia. She ate a raw diet and beat it. Now she sticks to a vegan diet.”

ou may say that Adam and Kristie Jeffrey are dreamers but when they opened Memphis’s only totally vegan restaurant, their dream of encouraging healthy and “compassionate eating” in the Bluff City came true. Imagine Vegan Café in Midtown’s historic and hip Cooper Young District dishes out more than just heaping helpings of lettuce and sprouts. There are more than 90 items on their menu, ranging from spicy and sweet to Southern-fried favorites like crispy chicken, cheese sticks and hushpuppies.>>

In fact, some of their most popular menu items are comfort foods like chocolate peanut butter bomb cupcakes; creamy mac and cheese; beef tips and rice; the Memphis Slam (biscuits topped with sausage, gravy, scrambled eggs and cheese sauce); Dogs in Blankets; the Philly Cheese Steak; and, of course, the Vegan Memphis (the barbecue sandwich). While menu descriptions may include words like cheese, chicken, steak, pepperoni, sausage and milk, it refers to the vegan substitute for those ingredients. DeSoto County native, Kristie Jeffrey, puts it simply, “If it comes from an animal, we don’t use it.”>> Many Americans, including former president Bill Clinton and daytime TV host Ellen DeGeneres have eliminated animal products from their diet. But what exactly are the ingredients in the alternatives like those served at Imagine Vegan Café? Kristie Jeffrey explains, “Soy, wheat and wheat gluten

make up the main ingredients in our mock meats. It just depends on the consistency you are trying to achieve.” The Jeffreys say that their omnivore customers often remark on how they “can’t tell the difference.” The desserts at Imagine Vegan Café have received rave reviews, too. “Oh my, you almost can’t put words around the desserts,” Kristie Jeffrey says excitedly. Local baker, Stephanie Roy, of Swell Baked Goods, supplies all of Imagine Vegan Café’s sweet treats. “She can make just about anything you could ever imagine, no pun intended. One of my favorite things she makes are ‘Fauxstess Cupcakes’. They mock a Hostess cupcake right down to the cream filling. They are out of this world!” Their growing and ever-changing selection of sweets, without eggs, has become quite popular, not only among vegans, but also with kids who have egg allergies—a common childhood food allergy.

MUCH LIKE THE ECLECTIC dinnerware at Imagine Vegan Café, the restaurant’s customers are a dynamic and diverse mix of people: some are trying to make healthy changes in their lifestyles, some are battling chronic illnesses, and some are crusading for a cause. But,

they all seem to have something in common—a willingness to try something new and a belief that things can change. Kristie Jeffrey sums it up with a smile, “They see hope and promise that if a vegan restaurant can survive, here in barbecue country, anything can happen.”


Imagine Vegan Café is actually quite kid-friendly. The Jeffreys, who are parents to three girls—Savannah 11, Sierra 3, and Madalynn 1—wanted kids to feel at home when they came into the restaurant. “Children have a tendency to get bored in the restaurant atmosphere, so we really wanted to do something about that.” The Jeffreys created a movie nook, have a Wii set up for “gamers,” offer toys and tricycles, and even have a tiny kitchen play set for kids. “It allows parents to eat while their kids have fun,” says Kristie Jeffrey. The Jeffrey girls have even contributed a few of their handmade works of art to the walls of the restaurant, adding to the mix of John Lennon posters and overall midtown mellow vibe and décor. Kristie Jeffrey describes the restaurant as “very laid back and deliberately not fancy.” They also believe strongly in “reduce, reuse and recycle.” “It’s the primary reason why our dishes don’t match,” laughs Kristie Jeffrey.

Jerry Edwards E/K Building’s old charm masks cutting-edge technology by BETH ARGO

tepping inside the handsome, brick and wood-wainscoted offices of E/K Automation on Hernando’s historic Square, one immediately feels a sense of history. The building, which sports rough-hewn beams, a wine cellar and plenty of old stories, including a Civil War sword in the wall and a coffin in the basement which was used for an old fraternal organization’s rituals, is home to the corporate offices of Jerry Edwards, President of E/K Automation. Business associates are Frank Kessler with Ewing/Kessler Mechanical Solutions, Inc. and Chris Ewing with Ewing/Kessler, Inc.

It’s deceiving to the eye, but the 120-year-old building houses designs of some of the most sophisticated climate control and computerized home and office technology in the world. Edwards says E/K boasts some of the largest clients in the Mid-South, the Landers Center, DeSoto County Schools, the state’s largest school district operation and others in Memphis, DeSoto County and elsewhere across the Mid-South.

What we wanted to show is that if we could take a 120-year-old building like this and make it more energy efficient, WE COULD DO IT ANYWHERE.

“I can pull up the computer right now and tell you what temperature the ice hockey rink is,” Edwards says as he swivels in the desk chair of his upstairs office. A mechanical engineer by trade, Edwards says he was able to transform the century-old building into a model of energy efficiency with literally the flick of a switch. The renovation of the building painstakingly took place after months of extensive retrofitting, according to Edwards. The decision to renovate an older building instead of locating the company’s offices in a brand new building was by design. “What we wanted to show is that if we could take a 120 year-old building like this and make it more energy efficient, we could do it anywhere,” Edwards says as he gestured toward a non-working fireplace that is now used for aesthetic purposes only. “What we did was strip it down to what it was 120 years ago, which was nothing, and build it from the inside out,” Edwards says. “Every wire, heating and cooling system in this building are the modern type systems and are now a part of the IP or the Internet Protocol system. What we give our customer is that single access point. The primary thing that we do is the heating and cooling.” Edwards says the DeSoto County School system is perhaps one of the largest clients in his Rolodex. “We’ve got 32 of the 40 schools,” Edwards says. “What that allows us to do is control heating and cooling in all of those schools from a single point at the Central Office. For instance, they can shut everything down during Christmas vacation. This single point access allows them to go in and switch all those systems off, which is a tremendous energy savings.” Gone are the days when heating and cooling temperatures are controlled by the single thermostat on the wall, according to Edwards. “With the advent of computers and smart phones, technology can allow us to do integration. We really consider ourselves an integrated control designer and manager. It’s not just heating and cooling but alarm systems, sprinklers, elevators, it’s anything as far as the eye can see.” E/K Automation is a division of Ewing/Kessler, Inc. The privately owned company is a leading building automation systems installer, servicer and a factory-authorized controls dealer for the Siemens Talon system as well as legacy Staefa Smart II controls. The new division covers West Tenn., Eastern Arkansas and the entire state of Mississippi. The parent company, Ewing/Kessler, was incorporated in 2005 in the State of Tennessee.

Drink to Good Health by JULIA CROWLEY

It’s been duly noted and well documented worldwide that red wine contains numerous health benefits when consumed in moderation. Some of these benefits include lowering the risk for cardiovascular disease, increasing the longevity of life, reducing the risk of cancer, protecting against Alzheimer’s Disease, and lowering bad cholesterol while raising good. Indeed, years of studies have generously provided us with proof that an occasional glass of wine is good for our health, and with continuing research, the benefits are on the rise. Without going into great medical detail, the health benefits of red wine have been linked to Polyphenols (found in tannins), Antioxidants (found in grapes) and Resveratrol (found in vines), to name a few. Polyphenols can help prevent some cancers and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, antioxidants help fight infection and disease, and resveratrol is a natural antibiotic produced in grapevines. >>

TASTING_NOTES: O U T O F N A P A V A L L E Y, the luscious, full-bodied Cakebread Cellars 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon offers enticing aromas of of dark berries and cherries, with a hint of licorice and fresh tobacco. On the palate, ripe blackberry and cherry aromas come to life and are well rounded by lush, juicy tannins. A beautiful and lengthy finish brings on a hint of earth and vanilla, and although this wine is quite complex and bold, it is very approachable and easy to drink. Well-known for their old vine Zinfandel, Van Ruiten Family Vineyards, located in Lodi, California, also produces a lovely Petite Sirah. Although the name of this varietal could easily lead consumers to believe the nature of this wine to be petite, the flavor profile is anything but petite. The 2009 Van Ruiten Petite Sirah displays big, bold, mouthwatering tannins. Red fruit aromas flow through on to the palate, with additional hints of chocolate, but the finish is filled with peppery spice. A great value wine for all this Petite Sirah offers. Recognize these and other fine red wines with enjoyment, not only for their vivacious flavors, but for their health benefits, as well.

Banks House, Hernando his original 1920s murder mystery event, written by Vicky and Bobby Neyman, took place in the Banks House on November 23 as a fundraiser for the DeSoto Arts Council. Formatted as an old-fashioned “who-dun-it,” guests got their own clue packet to help kick their detective skills into high gear. The cast featured local celebrities, including the real-life Hernando Mayor Chip Johnson, who played the part of Mayor in “The Cranberry Caper.” Guests sipped on “Cranberry Capones,” the event’s signature drink, while sleuthing their way through the clues. The DeSoto Arts Council funds workshops for various activities, including gardening; portrait painting; and different types of art, such as jewelry making, weaving, felting and many more. photos by CASSIE SMITH

The Power of Play Children with autism (developmental delays) and their families find the support they need in the ABA Place story by TONYA L. THOMPSON

A SIBLING PLAYGROUP AT ABA

W

hen 8-year-old Jack Busby, a nonverbal autistic child, enters The ABA Place, located in Bartlett, Tennessee, he talks with the staff. For his parents, this fact alone is reason enough to bring him weekly.

On the organization’s website, their mission is clear: The ABA Place was created to fill a void and provide a support network for children with developmental delays in the MidSouth, as well as their families. This mission is a personal one to Jenni Helms, Founder and Executive Director of The ABA Place, whose son is autistic. “I started this because there were no social and extracurricular activities for children with autism. I wanted my son to have fun and participate in activities where he was accepted outside of school, so I created this program based on what was missing in our community for all families with special needs children.” Although the doors to its current location were opened in 2009, the beginnings of the organization go back to 2005. “It started as a ‘play date’ with a couple of other children that had autism,” says Jenni. “Word started to spread and more and more families wanted to participate. After we outgrew hosting the ‘play dates’ at our house, we moved to St. Francis Elementary school and they let us use space there at no

charge. We were there for a little over a year while we saved money and eventually rented our own space.” That space, located at 7953 Stage Hills Boulevard, Suite 101, in Bartlett, Tennessee has grown into a thriving gathering place for children with developmental delays, their siblings and their parents. “My number one goal for The ABA Place has always been for our kids to have FUN while continuing to grow and make progress,” says Jenni. “Our children thrive when participating in structured activities that interest them. We work side by side with each child’s educational program but we also focus a lot on play and interaction. With the perfect mix of intervention our children are more successful.” The ABA Place offers social skills training, incorporating ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) methods; educational sessions for home-schooled children with special needs; holiday and summer camps; private tutoring, using the child’s IEP; sibling workshops, in which “typically” developing siblings of special needs children are

provided support; Board Certified Behavior Analyst consultation and IEP program management; parent training; parents’ night out; an Autism Moms Group; and an Autism Dads Group, with “Dad’s Night Out,” in which fathers of special needs children meet to play poker and relax. For Jack Busby and his family, The ABA Place has become a source of much-needed strength and encouragement. “ABA Place provides a larger community to families who feel isolated and alone,” says his mother, Sally, a teacher with Memphis City Schools. “I am so grateful to The ABA Place because there is absolutely no other place like it in Memphis. My son loves the therapists there and the other children and I think he views The ABA Place as part of his home. It is obvious that he feels safe and loved there.” It is just equally as obvious from speaking with the families involved with The ABA Place that the benefits offered go far beyond what is listed on the website. Much of this is due to the passion the Founder has for what she is doing. “Every single child that we serve is like my own,” says Jenni. “I know each and every one of them

and their parents. I am as involved with each child as their parents need me to be. I get to spend time with these precious children and I have watched so many of them grow and make tremendous progress over the years. Another thing that is rewarding to me, or maybe is more of an interest, is figuring out each child. I love the challenge in finding what will work for each and every one of them. Each child is so very different, that no particular theory will work for all of them. You have to be creative and think outside the box. This always keeps us on our toes and keeps things exciting. The smiles and laughs you get when a child is successful are worth every minute!” Although there are fees for services provided, The ABA Place focuses on keeping costs down as low as possible and remains non-profit in order to serve more families. Additionally, they are focused on growing a scholarship fund to help children whose families are not able to pay. Donations are accepted and tax deductible. For more information, contact Jenni by email at jkhelms@theabaplace.org or visit The ABA Place’s Website at theabaplace.org.

DR. ARIE SZATKOWSKI KNOWS THE PAIN associated with heart disease firsthand. Three weeks before he began classes at Cornell Medical College, his father passed suddenly of a heart attack. “One Saturday I came home from a party, and my mother walked back into the bedroom and told me he was gone,” he said. “It was that point that I knew I was going into cardiology.” Szatkowski, the director of cardiovascular services at Baptist Memorial Hospital-DeSoto in northwest Mississippi, has since made it his life’s duty to spearhead the fight against heart disease. “It was really all I knew. I didn’t think about being a lawyer, I didn’t think about business – it’s just what I wanted to do,” he said. As head of the busiest cardiology clinic in Mississippi, Szatkowski’s job keeps him occupied. He meets with 25 to 30 patients on an average day, while the rest of his time is spent organizing cardiovascular line meetings, delivering talks, reviewing newly published studies and coordinating new programs. The Brooklyn native has become a familiar face and natural leader at Baptist DeSoto during his nine years as a

mid-southerner. “Anything that needs to get done or be moved forward, I get it done,” he said. A color-coded map of the United States hangs in Szatkowski’s office, marked in different shades of red to signify areas with a high number of deaths due to cardiovascular disease. The entire Mississippi region is colored a deep crimson hue, marking its status as the cardiovascular disease capital of the country. Heart disease accounted for nearly 40 percent of deaths in the state in 2007. The area’s high concentration of obesity, stroke and heart disease has earned the region the title of “Stroke Alley.” This prevalence has led to a high degree of familiarity with cardiovascular ailments among Szatkowski and his staff, a factor that contributed to Baptist DeSoto’s status as the top heart health center in the state, according to a recent HealthGrades report. Despite being one of the biggest and busiest cardiovascular care facilities in the region, Baptist DeSoto’s response rate ranks 30 minutes faster than the national average. “We get them into the lab faster, fix them faster and are more likely to get them out alive and without complication,” Szatkowski said.


CLICK | health

While Baptist DeSoto’s cardiology experts rank nationally among the best and speediest caretakers in the region, Szatkowski aims to emphasize the importance of prevention to keep patients from ever entering the hospital doors by educating the population and attempting to change the culture associated with heart problems. Prevention has played a role in Szatkowski’s own cardiovascular health. In addition to the death of his father, Szatkowski’s career choice was spurred on by the discovery of potentially devastating problems in his own heart. On the first day of residency at Columbia University, an echocardiogram performed by an instructor revealed that Szatkowski had an enlarged heart. The cause was an artial septal defect; a hole in his heart. “Had I not gone into cardiology and found that hole, I probably would have one day presented arrhythmias, congestive heart failure or even a stroke,” he said. Szatkowski’s problem was eventually fixed via a procedure he now performs himself at Baptist DeSoto. According to Szatkowski, the breadth of services provided by

the hospital offers a huge opportunity to bring together formerly disparate groups. Under Szatkowski’s guidance, Baptist DeSoto has implemented a plethora of programs that aim to encourage a heart-healthy lifestyle in patients. In addition to the BOOST program, which is focused on reducing rehospitalization, and a clinic to manage and follow patients with valvular disease, Szatkowski has pushed for a unified cardiac service line that combines the many different departments and divisions associated with heart health at Baptist DeSoto. “There’s a lot of people, a lot of politics and a lot of personalities with a common goal—improving patient outcomes,” Szatkowski said. In addition to general prevention, Szatkowski and the team of doctors at Baptist DeSoto offer round-the-clock service and work to assess a broad spectrum of underlying causes of heart disease, including overmedication, psychosocial issues and diet. “Sometimes I get started at 6 or 7 a.m. and don’t get done till 9 o’clock,” he said. “To do this, you have to love it. And be willing to give up a lot of luxuries.”

“IT WAS THAT POINT THAT I KNEW I WAS GOING INTO CARDIOLOGY.”

MARK IT ON THE CALENDAR 8 WAYS TO ENSURE THE BEST FINANCIAL, EMOTIONAL, PHYSICAL AND HEALTHY YEAR YET.

by LINDSEY ROMAIN

IT’S ALL ABOUT THE little THINGS.

A NEW YEAR DOESN’T HAVE TO MEAN REMAKING EVERY ASPECT OF LIFE. SOMETIMES, TAPERING THE SMALLER THINGS CAN LEAD TO A STRONGER BIG PICTURE. HONING IN ON INDIVIDUAL FACETS OF HEALTHY LIVING IS THE SURE WAY TO MAKE 2013 THE BEST YEAR YET. HERE ARE 8 EASY WAYS TO BOOST A HEALTHIER LIFESTYLE AND PROVIDE FOCUS FOR A FRESH NEW YEAR.

1.

DEVELOP A financial PLAN

In the midst of a national financial crisis, money woes are no doubt topping the stress list for many people. Going into 2013 with a disorganized budget isn’t exactly the best start, for finances or mental health. Ric Edelman, a top-ranked adviser and author of the best-selling book, “The Truth About Money” (Harper Paperbacks, 2010), suggests choosing a financial plan for the year and sticking to it. “The single greatest cause of financial failure is procrastination,” Edelman says. Saving enough money to cover at least six months’ worth of living expenses should be the first step, he says. Not sure how to get started? Hire a financial advisor. Edelman suggests looking for a reputable, independent and fee-based professional if help is needed.

TWO PAY yourself A good trick for sticking to a budget is writing a check … to yourself. “Instead of writing checks each month to pay all of your bills until there’s nothing left to save, write the first check to yourself before you’re out of money,” Edelman says.

DON’T LET THE past GET YOU DOWN

THE PERFECT MOTTO FOR A NEW YEAR, NEW YOU:

Let go and move on.

“VISIT THE PAST SO YOU CAN SEE HOW IT MAY BE COLORING YOUR CURRENT RELATIONSHIPS WITH DARK HUES, BUT MAKE SURE TO LIVE IN THE PRESENT,” SAYS DR. FRANCES COHEN PRAVER. “IF YOU STAY IN THE PAST, YOU WILL BECOME DEPRESSED,” SHE SAYS. ON THE REVERSE, COHEN PRAVER ALSO SAYS TO AVOID THINKING TOO FAR AHEAD, FOR FEAR OF GROWING ANXIOUS OR NEGATIVE. “THE KEY IS TO LIVE IN THE PRESENT,” SHE SAYS. FOCUS FOR A FRESH NEW YEAR.

4.

CLEAN UP your RELATIONSHIPS “If love has faded from your relationship, now is the time to work hard to bring love and lust back,” Cohen Praver says. The New Year is a good excuse to try new things with your partner, in the name of new adventures. “Remember that you and your partner are connected with mirror neurons, so that if you change yourself, your partner can’t help but change himself or herself too,” Cohen Praver says.

MAINTAIN A well-balanced DIET

Eating healthy is an obvious way to stay on track health-wise, but knowing what foods are best to incorporate into an overall eating scheme is key. Lisa DeFazio, a registered dietitian and diet expert for Perez Hilton’s celebrity health and fitness website, fitperez.com, says to go for variety. She suggests incorporating whole grains for fiber, such as oatmeal, oat bran and flax seeds. Proteins like nuts, fish, chicken and lean beef also are important, as are healthy fats from olive oil, avocados and nuts.

EAT YOUR vitamins

7.

RECENT STUDIES HAVE BEGUN TO QUESTION THE EFFICACY OF DAILY VITAMINS. INSTEAD, FILL IN YOUR NUTRITIONAL BLANKS BY PLANNING AND BUYING SNACKS THAT ARE MADE WITH FRUITS, NUTS, SEEDS AND VEGETABLE AND PLANT EXTRACTS. PEOPLE SHOULD MAKE IT THEIR GOAL TO EAT MORE FRUIT, PERIOD, DIETITIANS SAY. “IT’S ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS WE CAN DO,” SAYS ALICE BENDER, A REGISTERED DIETITIAN AND NUTRITION COMMUNICATIONS MANAGER, FOR THE AMERICAN INSTITUTE FOR CANCER RESEARCH IN WASHINGTON, D.C. FRUITS ARE HIGH IN DIETARY FIBER AND WATER CONTENT, SO YOU FILL UP WITHOUT TOO MANY CALORIES, BENDER SAYS. IN ADDITION, FRUITS CONTAIN VITAMINS, SUCH AS A AND C, THE MINERAL POTASSIUM, AS WELL AS PLANT CHEMICALS THAT MAY REDUCE A PERSON’S RISK OF CHRONIC DISEASE. PEOPLE WHO CONSUME MORE FRUITS MAY HAVE A LOWER INCIDENCE OF LARYNX, ESOPHAGUS, STOMACH OR LUNG CANCER, ACCORDING TO BENDER. 74 JANUARY 2013 | myclickmag.com

SNEAK IN YOUR nutrients

SIX

Angela Pifer, a Seattle-based nutritionist, suggests stocking up on frozen vegetables like organic spinach and kale, both for their affordability and their ability to add a nutritious punch to traditional meals like scrambled eggs, soup, stew, stir-fry and casseroles. Busy people will be more likely to incorporate veggies if they are already chopped and ready to cook.

ATE(8) REPLACE junk WITH NUTRITION Giving up salty and sweet snacks can be hard. Luckily, it’s easy to find healthy replacements for junk-food favorites. For those with a taste for salt, DeFazio suggests options like Popchips, low-fat microwave popcorn, pretzels and Chex mix. For the sweet-toothed folks, go for dried fruit, frozen juice bars, low-fat granola bars, graham crackers and low-fat pudding cups.

Stay

The historic Old Edwards Inn in Highlands is the place to make reservations if your wish list includes stellar service in sophisticated, yet cozy, surroundings. The experience begins upon arrival. After check-in in the wood-paneled main lobby, a friendly staff member leads you on a mini-tour of the inn and all the amenities it offers while you sip on a flute of champagne. There’s the Hummingbird Lounge, the spot to enjoy a drink in old-world elegance; the Wine Garden, an alfresco dining option nestled amid a lush garden with its own waterfall; the pool; the fitness center; the Rooftop Terrace, combining cocktails and views of downtown; the award-winning spa; the Four-Diamond-rated Madison’s restaurant; and The Butler’s Pantry, where at any time of day or night, guests can help themselves to bottled water, fruit, soft drinks, freshly brewed coffee and a freezer full of chocolate-covered ice cream bars— just a little something extra that makes a big difference. This attention to detail is a carryover of the ideals that began with the original owners, who were known far and wide for their boundless hospitality. Fronting the main thoroughfare of downtown Highlands, Old Edwards Inn was built in 1878 and served as the town’s first boarding house, known for years as Central House. Over the decades, it was added onto, and in 1934, the owners constructed a three-story brick and stone hotel, The Ho-

tel Edwards, next door. In the early 1960s, the property closed. In 1982, it was given a new lease on life when a couple bought what was then known as Edwards Inn and restored it to its former glory. Old Edwards Inn became the four-diamond establishment it is today after another change of ownership in 2001 and a complete renovation in 2004. But the renovation was no mere upgrade; the Inn still retains all of its historic character, as evidenced by its spot on the National Register for Historic Places. The past and the present combine beautifully in the Inn. The look and service are echoes from yesteryear but every room is equipped with modern conveniences (flatscreen TVs and wireless Internet); some even include working fireplaces, as well as towel warmers and heated floors in the spacious, marble-ensconced bathrooms.

P lay

“It’s not what we have, but what we don’t have, that sets us apart from other mountain towns,” said Bob Kieltyka, the Executive Director of the Highlands Area Chamber of Commerce. He’s right; there are no cheesy souvenir shops or garish buildings. Most everything in town can be found in downtown, a compact area that’s easily walkable. “It’s like the 1950s,” he said. But what Highlands does have should not be overlooked. A stroll along Main Street and its offshoots means shopping and the options are diverse. You’ll find antique dealers, a well-known auction house, art galleries, gift shops and ladies’ and men’s clothing boutiques. Don’t miss Dutchman’s for inspired home décor, art and gift items. Pop in Rosenthal’s and McCulley’s for high-end ladies clothing and finish your shopping spree on a sweet note with a visit to Kilwin’s for some rich fudge. “We don’t have anything trendy; all of our shops are unique and are places you won’t find in a mall back home,” Kieltyka said. If you’re interested in the performing arts, Highlands does not disappoint; this tiny town boasts four theaters: The Highlands Playhouse (founded in 1938), the Instant Theatre Company (founded in 1981), the Highlands Community Players (founded in 1995), and the Martin-Lipscomb Performing Arts Center, which hosts touring

Relax

If the fresh mountain air and natural beauty don’t lull you into a serene state, try the Spa at Old Edwards Inn. This 25,000-square-foot tribute to tranquility has been praised year after year by guests and national media. It recently received tenth place on Condé Nast Traveler’s Top 75 hotel Spas in North America; this is the third year it’s made the top 10. Focused on nourishing the mind, body and spirit, the Spa embraces its surroundings, taking full advantage of the area’s rejuvenating powers with treatments like Sweet Mountain Metamorphosis, which uses locally grown herbs in a body scrub that’s followed by a full-body massage using long strokes for ultimate relaxation.

REASONS TO VISIT YEAR-ROUND Highlands is packed during the summer months, as many come to escape the sweltering heat. But there are plenty of reasons to make the trip to this mountain town all year long.

Winter

Spring

The winter months are appealing for the peace and quiet that comes from fewer people and sometimes, a blanket of snow. It may be considered low season but there are still many shops and restaurants open; even if it’s too cold to do much outdoors, the Old Edwards Inn Spa’s treatment menu is long enough to keep you happily occupied inside.

Wildflowers are in bloom, and things are just starting to warm up. There are fly fishing tournaments, bike races, and art classes at The Bascom, as well as The Bascom’s annual Collective Spirits food and wine fundraiser each May.

Summer Comfortably cool temperatures, azure skies and myriad ways to experience Mother

Nature make summer the most popular season in Highlands.

Autumn Catch the brilliant display of colors sweeping across the mountainsides as the leaves change with the season. Each November, the town hosts its biggest event, The Highlands Culinary Weekend, which features wine and food from area restaurants and chefs all along Main Street. Guests stroll from spot to spot, sipping and sampling.

Eat

Shopping, fishing, hiking, even relaxing at the Old Edwards Spa—any and all of these can certainly work up an appetite, and in Highlands, the options for satiating that hunger are many and varied. Indeed, dining out in Highlands could be considered an activity and attraction all on its own; its long list of lauded restaurants has made it a culinary hot spot. At Wolfgang’s Wine Bistro & Restaurant, the atmosphere is decidedly rustic sophistication, with exposed wood beams and a funky chandelier made of branches married with low light and silk curtains. Popular dishes include the shrimp and lobster bisque, the onion soup and the escargot. Chef and coowner Wolfgang Green is known for his braised beef short ribs and for very good reason. The meat is fork-tender, flavorful and perfectly paired with creamy mashed potatoes. Lakeside Restaurant on little Harris Lake is ideal for an intimate evening. The menu includes delicious seafood selections and hand-cut, grilled steaks served with your choice of compound butters. Madison’s at Old Edwards serves innovative dishes created using fresh, locally sourced ingredients in an environment of laid-back luxury. Buttermilk crackers served with homemade pimento cheese make a tasty start to your meal. Next, opt for the Sweet Onion Chowder with butter-poached lobster, caramelized shallots and chive blossoms (you’ll want to lick your bowl). On the entrée list, the duck is an easy choice. The richness of the slow-rendered breast and the accompanying herbed goat cheese gnocchi is cut with a sweet, tart blackberry jus.

84 JANUARY 2013 | myclickmag.com

Complement your selection with a bottle from Madison’s Wine Spectator-awarded wine list. At Paoletti’s, you’ll find a romantic, old-world atmosphere and amazing traditional Italian cuisine. The Cannelloni all’Emiliana (crepes stuffed with roasted veal, spinach and ricotta and smothered in creamy Bolognese sauce) is simply amazing. For a quick lunch, try Mountain Grocery at one end of Main Street. Deli favorites like sandwiches on fresh rolls and piled high with tender meats and savory cheeses are yummy and filling. At the end of your evening, stop in and have a beer or two with the locals at the Ugly Dog Pub, which serves some North Carolina-brewed beers on tap, as well as some favorite pub grub, perfect for munching or a casual dinner. Even with the many diverse options for seeing, doing and dining, none of these things make Highlands the special place it is. According to Kieltyka, it’s all about the people. “We hear it all the time at the Visitor Center, how warm and friendly our people here are,” he said. “And it’s true; we’ve got some outstanding folks here. I think it is in the way many of our residents come to us. No one gets transferred here or has to move here for a job. Often, they visit once and then work to find a way to stay here, to move here. They are so happy to be here and they want to share that with others.”

Healthy Eats Our picks for the area’s healthiest places to dine story and photos by CASEY HILDER AND ANNA PETERSON

BUON CIBO 2631 MCINGVALE RD., HERNANDO 662.469.9481, BUONCIBORESTAURANT.COM This restaurant’s name means “good food” in Italian, and that’s exactly what customers can expect. Buon Cibo knows the value of fresh: the Mississippi eatery draws its ingredients from nearly a dozen local farms. Whether you’re craving a “grown-up” grilled cheese or plan stop in for a bag of stone-ground grits from the Buon Cibo Pantry, you will appreciate the healthy fare.
