Helen Summerford

When Helen Louis first saw Clay Summerford, the 19-year-old whispered 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.

28 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” designations 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 particularly fond of the Scottish terriers she grew up with. “I’m not a terrier person.”

36 Allison and Haley Fisackerly

Surely, you think, the president and CEO of Entergy Mississippi is a middle-aged, graying and somewhat stuffy businessman. On the contrary, Haley Fisackerly is youthful, energetic and full of the fun of life, in addition to being an excellent and forward-looking executive officer. 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 production of “The Nutcracker” ballet.

Helen Summerford

Mike, Martha, Clay and Helen Summerford, Nancy and Tom Louis “He went off to Mississippi State that August and I back to Ole Miss,” she said. “We went back and forth between the two schools until Clay finally got up the nerve to ask his Bulldog parents if he could transfer.” They agreed and Helen converted him into a Rebel fan. Helen, who was born and raised in Jackson, attended elementary school at St. Richard’s Catholic School and then transferred to Jackson Prep where she was graduated in 1994. She is the youngest of four children, her oldest sister is 17 years older, her brother is 15 years older and her other sister is 11 years older. After Prep, Helen went to the only school she knew existed: the University of Mississippi. “All of my older siblings attended there and I had been going to Oxford and to Ole Miss games since I was two,” she said. She was graduated with a bachelor’s degree, majoring in psychology and minoring in English in 1998. Clay was born in Memphis but moved to Jackson when he was just an infant. He attended Jackson Academy from pre-primer until he was graduated in 1994. He went to Mississippi State for two years and transferred to Ole Miss, where he was graduated in 1998 with a bachelor’s degree in business administration with a marketing major. Jennifer Thompson Walker met Helen the day they moved 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 of their lives together. “I will never forget a call from sweet Mrs. Louis (Helen's mom) telling me about Clay and that I needed to come from Hazlehurst to Jackson and talk to Helen because he was a true jewel,” she said. “Mrs. Louis was absolutely right.” Jennifer said Clay was the perfect fit, not only for Helen but all of their friends. “He quickly became one of us,” she said. Clay and Helen continued to date all through college. Their senior year, Clay took Helen to eat at their favorite Chinese place (Hunan) and then drove her out to Rowan Oak. He made her get out of the car

and sit on a bench. Then he got down on one knee and asked her to marry him. They were just 21. The two finished school and got married the following July 25 at St. Peter's Cathedral Catholic Church and had their reception at the Country Club of Jackson. They have lived in Jackson ever since. Helen’s first job out of college was working retail for Fridges in Highland Village while Clay took a job with Wallace Computer Services. At age 25, they had their firstborn, Alex. Sixteen short months later, they had their second child, Louis. Today Clay works for Intuitive Surgical as their clinical sales manager for Mississippi and Tennessee. Clay sells the daVinci surgical robot to various doctors. He enjoys what he does and believes that with his product, he is making a difference in patients’ lives. Helen currently owns a store in Highland Village called Dancing Divas and recently opened another one named D Squared. Alex, nine, and Louis, seven, attend Jackson Academy. “We chose JA for a number of reasons,” she said. “It is a Christian based atmosphere and it is such a well-rounded school. The experience Clay had there was amazing, and we felt at home when we first went to visit. The teachers and faculty are amazing and it has such a huge sense of family and we love that.” However, it was and continues to still be a bit of a joke between Clay, Helen and their friends as to how Helen would allow their children to go to JA since as she was a huge Jackson Prep fan. Helen decided to open a store after she had been a stay at home mom for seven and a half years. “I wanted to do something on my own and I have always loved retail,” she said. “I casually talked to my friend (and now business partner) Lea Easley one day on the soccer field about opening a store - never thinking it would really come to fruition. Well if you give Lea an idea, you better be prepared to follow up with it.” Lea called Helen a few days later with a proposition 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 had come up with this idea,” Helen said. “I was in.” The two opened Dancing Divas in November 2009 and have both loved every minute of it. “I get asked about a hundred times a day how I opened such a girly store with two boys, and I simply laugh and say I am very girly and this helps me get my little girl fix.” At first, Helen had a hard time juggling the boys and the store and said she felt so torn about where she needed to be. “I worried about my boys adjusting and about my husband adjusting, but it all worked out,” she said. “Having a partner really has helped with that part too. We do a pretty good job of not allowing our store to ever interfere with our children’s activities. If it is busy, we have to rely on each other to help out with the other person’s kids, and our husbands are good at helping too. Lea and I laugh that Clay and Cal love the store as much as we do.” For the past two years, the Summerfords have attended Bellewether Church. “We love all the people we have met there and feel very blessed to have John

“I feel like if you ask the community to support your business, you have to give back to the community in return.” Helen Summerford such as hunting or golfing, he takes the kids and spends time with them and gives me a break and vice versa,” she said. The two have a pact to do something just us as a family once on the weekends and they try to go on a date at least two to three times a month. “We also have an unbelievable circle of friends,” she said. “We are all very close and cook out at least every weekend if not every other.” Helen believes the neighborhood (Sheffield area) they live in has brought them close together with a lot of families who have the same values as they do. “We are blessed to be surrounded with friends and family,” she said. “I am extremely close to my two sisters, Pam and Cathy, and my sister-in-law, Addie, and my brother, Tommy, and we all live about five miles apart,” she said. “My mother is no longer able to communicate with us via words due to two strokes she had, but we all still gather at Mom and Dad’s house for dinner at least once or twice a month.” Helen says she is sure she could not do it without the help of her sisters, her mother-in-law and her friends. “I feel God has blessed us immensely and I try to show His love in all that we do.” Helen. Clay, Alex and Louis themed party with the Molly Ringwalds,” she said. “We loved doing that.” Two other charities that are dear to them include the Mississippi Children’s Home and the McClean Fletcher Center. “We love doing anything that helps children,” she said. “That is probably our biggest passion in life.” Dancing Divas alone donates to more than 35 organizations around town. “I feel if you ask the community to support your business, you have to give back to the community in return,” Helen said. “It is a give and take relationship.” As a couple, the two try to stay connected even though it can be somewhat challenging. With Helen’s two stores, Clay’s demanding job and travel schedule, and two boys with very active schedules, staying close as a couple can be a challenge. “Clay is very good about giving us his undivided attention on the weekends,” Helen said. “If he does anything extra Mike, Helen holding baby Louis, Clay holding Alex, Martha, Austin and Jenna Summerford november 2012

She and Patty Hearst coown Hilsman Bandog Holy Moses! who is currently being campaigned.

ROXANNE HILSMAN - crazy dog lady Roxanne grew up in upstate New York near the Vermont border. She attended Bennington College and Southern Vermont College in Vermont and Dominican University in California, and earned a bachelor’s degree in human services/art. She also earned a master’s of art education at Mississippi College. She is now married to Dr. Gray Hilsman, a psychiatrist who is board certified in addiction, psychiatry and geriatrics, a former professor at the University of Mississippi Medical Center, and owner of Three Oaks Behavioral Health of Ridgeland, an addiction recovery and behavioral health 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 style and paints primarily still lifes and pet “icon” portraits. Locally she has studied with Wyatt Waters, Sammy Britt and Bob Tompkins to name a few. Her paintings are exhibited at Nunnery’s at Gallery 119. She is an award-winning artist and member of Oil Painters of America and the American Artists Professional League. Mike Nunnery says, “Roxanne’s work is absolutely exquisite and elegant. In her still lifes she uses a lot of fruit and pattern fabric - very sensual. She was a marvelous teacher as well. Many of her students from her teaching days have gone on to become profession-

al artists.” Roxanne acknowledges that it is difficult to find enough hours to paint these days. Her Frenchies consume most of her painting hours. French bulldogs are not easy to raise. First, they cannot conceive naturally, but must be artificially inseminated. This involves progesterone testing until it is determined that the time is right for insemination. Then when time for the birth comes around a C-section is required, as the dogs are unable to deliver naturally. Left to nature, the pups will die in the birth canal. Again, constant monitoring is required. “Dr. Troy Majure is truly a saint. He has agreed to come in the middle of the night if necessary 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 Mama Roxanne. “Sometimes I barely sleep for weeks.” The new pups are often tube-fed. “The mother dog is groggy after surgery and that can be a very dangerous situation.” Roxanne always sleeps beside the puppy play pen with the newborns. The Hilsmans usually have several Frenchies in their spacious back yard. Roxanne notes, “Our Frenchies live in our home. They are well-socialized, happy, good-natured little guys and girls (although somewhat spoiled).” The pups cause no problem in the neighborhood. Then there was that one exception. Neighbors Gov. and Elise Winter enjoy regular walks in the area, and Bella, one of the 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 a mouth 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 component has its requirements. Proper temperament is described as “well-behaved, adaptable and comfortable companion with an affectionate nature and even disposition.” Raising French bulldogs is not an inexpensive or one-person project. Hilsman calls it “a serious investment of time and money.” She has the assistance and cooperation of a friend in Clinton, Jayne Palmer, herself a breeder, who aids in the whelping or breeding process. The pups then spend many months with Hiram Stewart of New Orleans who trains them to perform for the judges, evaluates and often shows them for Hilsman. Then there are the advertising costs connected with showing these dogs. Husband Gray has no involvement

ROXANNE HILSMAN - crazy dog lady with Roxanne’s passion. “He just pats the dogs on the head and writes the checks.” Roxanne became addicted to French bulldogs 14 years ago when she walked into Animal Arts Antiques in New Orleans where the owners allowed their beloved pets to lounge around the store. She calls the pups her obsession, an obsession which increases yearly. Son Evan, a student at Mississippi State University, tells the story, “One of her first French bulldogs was named Beetlejuice. After Beetlejuice she just went crazy for Frenchies. We always have a number of them running around in our back yard. We have a studio back there, and for as long as I can remember my friends and I have just been swarmed when we tried to get from the back door to the studio.” Stepson Gamble remembers his childhood this way. “Roxanne has been raising, 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 an extended family. When we were younger we thought the pack mentality of all the less-than-petite charismatic pups to be pretty annoying. Randomly one would find its way into the house and chew up remotes, videogame controllers, basically anything we carelessly left on the floor. Now, though, it would be weird for me not to see the tribe all laid out in the shade during summer or huddled 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). Although she 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 purchaser. 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 and down from a trainer outside of New Orleans and back up to Jackson whenever it was convenient for me. Usually around holidays,” he recalls. “I got used to the very basic care of the dogs and their compressed personalities started to grow on me. In 2009 I brought a dog down to deliver to a buyer in New Orleans, very simple, very quick, asked a couple questions, explained everything I knew about the pup, and snapped a couple of pictures. Pretty much business. It wasn’t until 2010 that Roxanne asked me to deliver dogs outside of my normal route between Jackson and NOLA. It was hard to turn down the opportunity to jet off to Los Angeles to sell a couple of puppies, especially upon hearing to whom. For the sake of not sounding like I am name dropping, I had the opportunity to visit a few incredible homes in LA, speak with some people I never thought I would have access to, and be treated very kindly throughout the process - to the point of getting to sit in a family’s private box for an NBA Lakers vs. Suns final that was a complete nail-biter. I was able to get a real experience of LA on the side you don’t think of growing up in the suburbs most of your 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 president of the Mississippi State Kennel Club, American Kennel Club delegate and show chairperson, and a member of the French Bulldog Club of America. Jayne Palmer says of Hilsman, “I’ve been raising Frenchies for 25 years and known Roxanne for about 15 years. I call myself her ‘puppy nanny.’ I know her to be very knowledgeable, conscientious and well-respected by her peers. She has single-handedly done a lot for the breed.”

urely, you think, the president and CEO of Entergy Mississippi is a middle-aged, graying and somewhat stuffy businessman. On the contrary, Haley Fisackerly is youthful, energetic and full of the fun of life, in addition to being an excellent and forward-looking executive officer. 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 production of “The Nutcracker” ballet. Allison reveals that Haley has always been a great dancer. They met in Washington, D.C., where Allison was employed by the National Association of Professional Insurance Agents in government affairs and Haley by Entergy. Their third date was a dancing date. “We went to Taste of the South, a charity affair of dinner and dancing featuring Southern fare. We danced all evening, ignoring the food until it was gone,” says Allison. “I think we had one shrimp each.”

aley was graduated with a bachelor’s degree in business administration from Mississippi State University and was named vice president of the student body and Mr. MSU. Politics was still on his mind. “At one time I thought hard about running for Sonny Montgomery’s position, but decided against it, feeling I needed more real world experience.” He also toyed with the idea of making a career of sports medicine while working as an athletic trainer at State and later with the Indianapolis Colts. Before joining Entergy, Fisackerly served on the staff of U.S. Sen. Thad Cochran. Modestly he says, “I started in the mail room, I didn’t know anything. Within four months I began to sit in on meetings with local government officials and became involved in economic development.” Before long he managed Cochran’s Washington office and assisted the senator with economic development projects in Mississippi as well as legislative matters related to energy policy, the environment and interior appropriations. “Bill Laforge, Cochran’s administrative assistant (AA), resigned in 1990, and I became the youngest AA on Capitol Hill. Laforge gave me some great advice. He said I should find my issue, become an expert on that issue – that issue could become my career.” Fisackerly took on energy issues for the next five years. At the same time he earned a master’s degree in public policy administration with an emphasis in executive, legislative and regulatory management from George Washington University. With that rich background, Fisackerly in 1995 joined Entergy’s Washington, D.C., office. In 1999 he moved to Little Rock where he became director of system regulatory strategy, a move up. “After six months I called

Allison and told her I felt so overwhelmed with the technicalities and the various complex regulations in four states and on the federal level that I thought I might quit. I had so much studying to do – it was like grad school all over.” Instead he studied intensely, worked hard and married Allison in November 2000. Son Reeves was born in Little Rock before they moved to Jackson in September 2002, where son Ryan was born two years later. Allison, a third generation Washingtonian, was born in D.C. and reared in Maryland, the daughter of a Jewish mother and Catholic father. She was groomed to become a ballerina. Allison says, “I started ballet lessons at three and later took en pointe lessons five days a week.” While in high school in Frederick County, Md., Allison created a family stir when she decided to give up ballet classes to become a cheerleader. Lynn Lewis, Allison’s mother, who calls herself “The president of Allison’s fan club,” says, “I cried and then Allison cried. I was so disappointed when she quit ballet, because I loved to see her perform. But I knew it had to be her decision, that it was her life.” Allison also took up softball (“She was terrible,” exclaims her mom.) and became involved in student government. Other creative juices flowed. Allison recalls, “In high school, I wanted to be a clothing designer. I took sewing and fashion merchandising classes and dreamed of going to Fashion Institute of Technology. I actually wore a green knit dress I made in high school during my first job out of college. That was in the early ’90s and of course, I remember the multicolored flats and wide belt I paired with the dress.” Her mom notes that Allison was an early reader, a good student, and somewhat shy as a child, but had many good friends with whom she remains close to this day.

llison carried an interest in politics and her creative gifts to the Catholic University of America in D.C. “I went to college (1988-1992) as an ‘undecided’ freshman, but my dreams included becoming CEO of a major corporation, and I also thought about pursuing law. It was calculus that ultimately changed my business department path and led me to English and speech communications. For my minor in speech communications, I took acting classes and received an A++ for ‘Most Improved Student’ in my acting class at the end of my senior year. With the encouragement of my professor, I briefly considered studying that summer at the Shakespeare Theater in London. In my 20s, while working in politics (managing a grassroots program and political action committee and doing some lobbying for associations) I toyed with the idea of going into broadcast journalism.” Marriage to a Southerner curtailed those ideas. The birth of Reeves when the Fisackerlys were living in Little Rock brought Allison to her next career: wife and mother. “My dreams,” says Allison, “always included being a mother and a wife. Due to some childhood health issues, my chances of having children were reduced, but motherhood remained a big dream of mine. I remember being overcome with emotion while rocking our first baby and my mom coming into the nursery panicking when she saw me. When she asked me what was wrong, I said, I just can’t believe I have a baby… that we made him.” A re-awakening of Allison’s longtime love of ballet caused her in 2009 to begin lessons at Ballet Mississippi, where she studies three days a week. In 2010 the director of “The Nutcracker” sought adults to appear in the party scene, and Allison and Haley

agreed to be a part of the production. Reeves and Ryan were in the audience. Afterward, “The boys said they wanted to be in ‘The Nutcracker’ the next year,” says Allison. “I told them they 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 may not be in ‘The Nutcracker’ their first year of class. After their audition, Ryan who is very much the ‘cool’ younger brother asked me if he and Reeves ‘made it’ (were asked to be in

“If you can imagine it, you can achieve it; if you can dream it, you can become it.” William Authur Ward

the ballet), if Daddy and I would be in it. I said maybe not since we had done it in 2010. Ryan surprised us by expressing that he wanted all four of us to be in it. That’s all it took for Haley and me to hope to be invited again. “The whole experience was such a gift. We will never forget watching our oldest, Reeves ‘find his voice’ (if you will) performing in the middle of the stage in the role of the Nutcracker in the battle scene (Act I) and as the Nutcracker Prince (Act II). He was so confident and happy. It was the boys’ idea to participate, and both took their roles very seriously. We will always treasure the memories of teachers and friends, some of whom have known Reeves since Pre-K, see him come out of his shell and of course, the precious memories of family who joined us in

celebrating.” Like their father, both Reeves and Ryan are sportsmen, actively involved in recreational soccer and baseball as well as basketball and football at St. Andrew’s Episcopal School. According to their grandmother, Doris Fisackerly, “We always taught Haley that if he started something like football, he had to finish out the season, but he did not have to continue the next year if he did not want to. Haley and Allison have that same philosophy with their boys, and I believe that is what has made Reeves and Ryan focused.” The family attends St. James Episcopal Church. “It’s a good place for us,” says Allison, “lots of young families, close by. We have friends there.” Haley and Allison strive to create an environment where kids can talk with their parents. “We first and foremost wish them a happy life, a passionate and honest life. If they can grow up to make a difference in one person’s life, theirs will be successful.” “Right now,” says Allison, “this is exactly where I want to be, and I feel so

fortunate. In whatever it may be - a career or other, it’s not over until we die. When I was growing up, a poster of a beautiful ballerina hung prominently in my room. From memory, I can tell you the William Arthur Ward quote on it read, ‘If you can imagine it, you can achieve it; if you can dream it, you can become it.’ As an adult, Haley has shown me that there’s always opportunity to stretch - to try something new - even something that scares us a little. He thinks outside of the box and in doing so, provides such a great balance for me and for our family.” Reeves and Ryan enjoy going to their dad’s office. From experience he coaches them on walking the road to success. “I tell them they will never know success unless they are willing to work hard, to take the difficult assignment.” As for himself, Haley says, “If I feel that I have done everything I can do to be a good husband, father and boss. If in business my company meets its goals and leadership is in place to sustain that growth, I am successful.”

ame 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 lesson 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 relationships 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 swimming 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 tennis 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^kq^db Tennis 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 champions 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 programs 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 membership are just some ideas for Christmas gifts. As always, for all of your tennis needs, you can find us on Facebook; USTA Mississippi, Twitter; @ustamississippi or go to our website, www.mstennis.com.

YOU HAVE PERMISSION TO MIX BONE CHINA

A BLENDED TABLE

AND EARTHENWARE OR PORCELAIN AND STONEWARE TEXT AND PHOTOGRAPHY BY

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 celebrate 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 civility and beauty of actually using fine things at the dinner table? The cleanup after the meal might be easier, but have you ever used those plastic forks and knives to cut anything tougher than mashed potatoes on a paper plate? The plastic 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 function over convenience. Using real dinnerware does come with consequences. The first Thanksgiving dinner that my children 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 selfimposed 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 investment 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 dinnerware falls into the category of ceramics, there are structural and chemical differences in casual dinnerware and fine china. There are four major types of dinnerware: earthenware, stoneware, porcelain and bone china.

FOODWISE All are made from clay and fired to harden. The primary difference 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 handpainted 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 embellishments on each piece. • Stoneware is made from grittier clay with a higher sand content. Stoneware is fired at high temperatures, 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 popular choice for dinnerware because it’s durable and less expensive than porcelain. It can be glazed in a wide variety of colors and finishes (matte, satin and shiny) for diverse designs. One of the few American made stoneware manufacturers 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 nonstick, non-porous and dishwasher safe. Pickard China is America’s oldest 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 temperatures 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 grandmother’s china with our funky chargers. You have permission to mix bone china and earthenware or porcelain and stoneware – but paper and plastic are off-limits at the dining room table. I had a lot of fun adding a little edge to traditional formal settings and this year my holiday tables will have a blend of casual and formal dinnerware. While the rules for setting the proper 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.
