I love Kid President. This morning he posted the following quote by Brad Montague & Robby Novak:

“What if we treated everybody like they deserved all of our attention? Maybe our goal as people shouldn’t be to become a celebrity, but to live in a way that makes everyone around us feel celebrated.”

Letter from the Publisher

TourCollierville.com

September/October 2015

I met a neighbor yesterday, Dave and Leanne Brown and their kids, Kaylie, Brayden, McKinley and Gavin. I didn’t get all of their animals’ names but, suffice it to say, there were a bunch. That’s their yard pictured over there. And those are my daughters sneaking by on Halloween night. We’ve been stalking their yard for years now, walking by almost daily after school to see how its coming along. The girls finally drew on every ounce of their courage to walk past the electric chair dude and they’re still asking questions about the baby eating its own foot. (Thanks, Dave. You’re the best!) They’re not committing to entering the freaky carnival house... maybe when they’re teenagers and the neighbor boys will go along to protect them. (Who am I kidding. Izzy would take apart anyone who comes near her sister with a chainsaw!) Ya’ll, Halloween is my favorite holiday. I started Webz on Halloween day in 1999 - appropriately enough. People get really creative around this time of year and its an excuse for folks to get outside of their homes and actually pay one another a visit. (I know there’s candy involved, but, you know, whatever it takes!). And then there are families like the Browns and their neighbors, John & Nicole Thompson and son, Maddox. They work for weeks to assemble the town’s craziest yards - purely for the purpose of delight. Year after year they step up their games, adding dioramas with military jeeps, radioactive rats, skeleton-covered chain-link fence, machine gun fire and

giant stilt people. Then on November 1st, they take it all down and replace it with Christmas decorations that are equally as imaginative and overthe-top. (See for yourself! Visit 478 Tuscumbia Cove West) And they do all of this - ALL of this - just to celebrate others. Just to delight them and to bring people together. Seeing kids have the bejesus scared out of them is icing on the cake. We take so much for granted. That became glaringly obvious as I interviewed the Quartermaine, Parker/Busby and Lucas families about Lyme disease. I can’t imagine how I would feel if my kids couldn’t creep past those houses because they weren’t able to walk. I further can’t imagine my rage if people accused them of faking a terrible disease. Yet, people who suﬀer from Lyme disease know all too well how diﬃcult life can be when you outwardly appear healthy and typical. The good news is that with the right attention from celebrities like Justin Timberlake and Avril Lavigne, Lyme Disease is beginning to receive the funding it needs to research answers. More importantly, physicians are increasingly willing to admit that it exists - which is a large part of the battle. This month we also talk with 1996 Olympic Gold medalist, Rochelle Stevens. What a powerhouse, that one! And wouldn’t you know, she talks about her mom. She talks about how her mom taught her the techniques to run and the solid ethics of hard work that catapulted her beyond her competitors. And when her season as a runner transitioned into that as a mentor, it was that same tenacity that ultimately taught hundreds of other youth how to press on. What a gift to know these people and all of you who we celebrate in these pages. Thank you for letting us. Be calm and buzz on, friend.

Rehab etc. Physical Therapy offers one-on-one, patientcentered service. We have early morning and evening appointments, with sameday appointments available (in some cases). We treat everything from chronic pain, post injury/surgery, to competitive athletes, and our 3 convenient locations accept most major insurances.

Gold GO FOR

Keep your head down, and pull it in! Those words might apply to each of us for a daily sense of inspiration - on a post it note placed on a mirror, a notecard tucked into a car visor, or artfully crafted with a dramatic font captioning a motivational meme on social media. However, these eight wellchosen words propelled an aspiring 12-year-old gangly girl, with a dream of running, all the way from her humble Memphis neighborhood to become the 1996 Olympic gold medalist for the United States in the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 4x400-meter relay.

MOTHER KNOWS BEST. “I don’t know what made me do it,” Rochelle recalls, “I just remember running up and down our street, knocking on doors and telling anyone who would listen ‘Watch me, I’m gonna be an Olympic runner, and I’d tell anyone my dream, and race anyone, even my mom - who didn’t let me win!” That’s because Rochelle’s mom, Beatrice Holloway Davis, embodied that same competitive spirit, and no one knew better than her what ﬁerce determination, hard work, savvy training, and unconditional love and support could yield. Rochelle’s mom nurtured her desire for running all through high school, when she quite literally grew into her stride. “I wasn’t always tall, in fact, when I started running I was quite average, but in one year I grew almost ﬁve inches! Mom stopped buying me new pants, I just wore them up around my ankles.” But, soon those long limbs and speed training led her to school track victories. As a Melrose high school student, Stevens was best known as an 800-meter runner, with a best of 2:11.01. Upon graduation, she had earned the titles of TSSAA high school State Champion, National High School All-American, city champion, and AAU Junior Olympics National Champion. The lure of adventure, new environment, and of course the best coaching, led Rochelle to Morgan State, in Maryland, with a full track scholarship from coach Leonard Braxton. She received her B.S. degree in telecommunications and sales from Morgan State as well as an M.S. degree in public relations from Columbus University. 24

“I always had to work for everything. Had to WORK for it - to be the best in the world.” Even after all her college achievements, Rochelle just barely missed the Olympic track team in ‘88. She trained under coach Tony Wigfield in ‘89. Then, mom took over. Ms. Beatrice had been a runner herself. Davis had been a state champion in high school and was a freshman on scholarship at the legendary Tennessee State program, when she became pregnant with Rochelle: “I ended her career. She’s done her running through me.” They were the first Mother/Daughter team in history. Davis was a tough as nails coach, but Stevens says, ”Once I would get off the field, she’s Mom again.” Together, Rochelle achieved: 1996 Olympic gold medalist (4x400m); 1992 Olympic silver medalist (4x400m); 1995 World Champs gold medalist (4x400m); 6th at 1992 Olympics; 1992 Olympic Trials champion; 1991 U.S. Indoor 200m champion; 1988 NCAA Outdoor 400m champion; 2nd in 400m at 1998 U.S. Outdoor nationals.

“IF YOU’LL RUN ON YOUR TOES YOU’LL RUN FASTER,” HER MOM SAID.

Staying on her toes is exactly what has made Rochelle Stevens a MidSouth (and Collierville’s pride) Treasure well beyond her Gold Medal achievements. She didn’t retire from running competitively until 2000 when her right knee went out only three days before the Olympic trials. And, if you think she was disappointed, so were her sponsors. They dropped her immediately. Stevens returned to Memphis, an Olympic superstar, only to be rejected in 40 interviews and not able to ﬁnd a job. But, that’s where her tenacity, drive, and inner strength began to shine.

ALWAYS HAVE A PLAN B.

“It was a blessing in a way. I had to keep working different avenues to promote myself, market myself, and to show others how they can look and feel as good as gold.” Today, Rochelle has a Cardio DVD, a nutrition line for children and adults, and a Wellness Spa that has pampered thousands of satisfied customers. Side by side, Stevens and her mom offer you the same French treatments that they both enjoyed during Rochelle’s competition in Barcelona, Spain. I was surprised to learn that Dr. Stevens (in Public Administration) is also an Endermologie specialist (rolling massage that reduces or eliminates cellulite - hello!), offers permanent makeup, non surgical face lifts, and peppermint facials, “the young people love these.” I just booked my next appointment.

MAKE IT HAPPEN.

Rochelle’s roots run deep. She was taught at a young age that longevity and consistency is a winning combination. Her mom raised four girls by herself - and sent them all to college, all with post graduate degrees. Now, Rochelle gives back to the Mid South community. She started and continues to sponsor the Rochelle Stevens International Track Invitational Meet, which just celebrated it’s 25th year. This meet is designed to expose high school students to college recruiters and formal track competitions. The event is certiﬁed to qualify runners for the junior Olympics, senior Olympics, and the Olympic trials. But,

the event is not just for Olympic hopefuls, it also oﬀers races from ages two years to seventy-ﬁve years young. When asked if she competes as well, Rochelle sits a little taller, “I just set a new world record in the masters division, 200 meters. How’s 23:81?” That’s FAST guys.

WHAT INSPIRES A GOLD MEDAL OLYMPIAN TO BE SUCCESSFUL? You’ll see Rochelle speaking out about health and wellness, personal motivation, and goal setting, but coming up, her most recent passion is focused on her Outwalk Obesity movement. This is a 1 mile Family Walk and Health Fair to be held in several locations at different dates in the fall. The first of which will be held on September 19 at Johnson Park in Collierville. “I’m so excited about these events. More than one-third of the nation is obese. We just want get families out walking, moving together, and educated.” Pedometers will be given out instead of t-shirts for registrants. “It’s important to accomplish my goals. I write them down daily and encourage others to as well,” says Stevens. She is definitely living her life like it’s golden, and inspiring others to do so as well.

It’s a quiet summer evening as you as you and your family go for a walk on the local woods path. The sun is setting, a cool breeze is blowing, and your children are running around with the dog playing tag. It seems like a perfect setting but little do you know that something sinister is lurking in those woods, something you can barely see with the naked eye, something that could change your family forever.

Lyme

disease is an epidemic that is

it is hard to track and impossible to control. Starting in Lyme, CT, decades ago, many

thought that the disease was a non-issue and that was not the case. Quickly, cases started to appear throughout New England and

Healthy Eating for Kids FOOD SHOULD NOT BE USED TO DISCIPLINE

Many parents, including myself, worry about their children’s eating habits. I admit that I’ve used the bribe “You must finish your vegetables before having dessert” on my own children. However, most early childhood experts, pediatricians and Goddard educators agree that food should not be used with discipline, but rather eating should be an enjoyable experience, promoting social, emotional, gross and fine motor skill development. Adults should encourage, but not force children to help themselves to all food items offered during a meal. Children should be seated when eating. Teachers/caregivers should ensure that children do not eat when standing, walking, running, playing, lying down, watching TV, playing on the computer, or riding in vehicles.

PORTIONS SHOULD BE AGE APPROPRIATE

Children naturally don’t eat very much. Children can eat less than half the calories that an adult eats…he or she will eat enough to be healthy. Pressuring destroys your child’s natural appetite. Pressuring children into eating may make them eat less, or make them hate food. Overweight adults often attribute their weight problem to their childhood, when their well-meaning parents made them clean their plate, teaching them to tolerate an overly full stomach. The following behaviors are perfectly normal: refusing to eat a meal, eating a lot of food for a few weeks, then eating practically nothing for the next few weeks, refusing to eat certain foods, eating less than a sibling, or being so excited by toys and people that he doesn’t ﬁnish his meal. Parents who force fussy toddlers to clear their plates could make them more likely to grow up suﬀering from anorexia, bulimia or obesity. Making children eat what they do not want to makes them resentful of not being in control of their eating habits. It also means they do

not learn to properly regulate their eating. Ultimately children must learn to manage their own behavior and to do that, they must be allowed to choose.

EATING SHOULD BE FUN AND HEALTHY!

MUMMY-DOGS, HALLOWEENIES AND WITCH EYES

Looking for a spooktacular twist for Halloween lunch? • Wrap precooked hot dogs in thin strips of canned roll dough and bake until golden brown for yummy MummyDogs. For a healthier twist, try turkey or tofu dogs! • Slice veggie dogs, put in a mini-pita pocket with colorful matchstick veggies and add sweet and sour or BBQ sauce for a delicious Halloweenies sandwich! • Whip up devilishly delicious deviled eggs. Top with a round slice of black olive. Serve two egg halves side-by-side for protein-packed Witch Eyes.

• 1 8-inch whole-wheat ﬂour tortilla • 2 tablespoons prepared pizza sauce • 12 leaves baby spinach • 3 tablespoons shredded part-skim mozzarella Place tortilla on a plate and spread pizza sauce over it. Top with an even layer of spinach and sprinkle cheese on top. Microwave on High until the cheese is just melted, about 45 seconds. Carefully roll the tortilla up. Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing into pieces, if desired. *Can be made one day ahead.

Fitness After 5

While most of the Collierville Town Square closes up at 5 PM, there’s a new trend that’s slowly bucking the system and it’s turning up the fitness and fun after closing time and drawing life back into the heart of town. Troy Taylor, of Collierville Yoga, just celebrated the two year anniversary of the studio and is proud to offer nightly classes Monday through Friday after 5 PM. Located above First Fruits storefront, this serene space offers the balance between relaxation and physical challenge. He knows firsthand how walking into a yoga studio feels to the unflexible or too-out-of-shape-to-exercise person, because he considered himself to be one of those just a few years ago...until. Taylor attended a gentle yoga class, began to experience the many mental and physi36

I have a slight remnant of neuropathy remaining in my feet and hands (from previous condition). I eliminated all but one prescription medication.” Taylor is a lean, mean, Ashtanga machine, and if you’re lucky, he’ll treat you to a spontaneous Native American flute serenade as your yoga practice comes to an end. That’s bliss, folks. The Square also boasts the only private practice that is PTA (Physical Therapist Assistant) owned. Josh and Krista Robinson recently revelled in the commemoration of their 7-year wedding anniversary as well as 3-year business PT Squared. Josh is passionate about reaching out to the community not just during banking hours, but especially after work to meet the needs of “ a lot of teachers and business folk. We have three personal trainers and two physical therapists who are eager to assist anyone from age 10 to even an 84-year-old couple that regularly attend sessions.” It’s all about

making that personal connection. “We pride ourselves in treating the root of a problem, not just a textbook solution,” Robinson offers. “It feels good taking care of everyone else.” Their physical therapists are present until 7 pm and personal trainers available through 8 pm, and offer a popular cardio dance class at 5:45 pm that is drawing people to the Square for sought after quality and personal attention. Old school fitness. That’s what comes to mind when you walk through the doors of Collierville Crossfit, located directly behind the east side of the Square on Washington Street. I walk in their open doors to see a 40-something man pulling chin-ups, a mom working the medicine ball against the wall while doing situps, was nearly clobbered by a dude running out the door on some kind of speed drill, and several others lunging, lifting weights, and jumping ropes. There’s no talk, it’s all set faces concentrating on correct form and personal goals. I’m out of place in my heels and skirt, and owner, Justin LaMance quickly comes to my side. I eye other atheletic women and ask, “would this be the kind of place a yoga

practicioner would be able to handle?” To which he bobs his head with a emphatic yes and says, “We take care of you, we’ll never throw you in to a group class oﬀ the bat. This space is for everyone. We appeal to every demographic from ages 12 to 70 and ﬁrmly believe that the only way to get in

Smile & Snore No More I can see the concern in Dr. Alan Blanton’s face, he’s concerned that this snore interview will bore readers. “I felt I gave you a lot of technical information which can be very dry. My passion lies in relating to the patients and treating them as a whole being, not just a set of teeth.” But, the science nerd in me just cannot stop asking questions, so I keep going, and here’s what I found fascinating about the science of sleep... Did you know that it’s estimated that up to 18-22 million of adults are affected with sleep apnea? Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common problem that affects a person’s breathing during sleep. Someone with OSA has times during sleep in which air cannot flow normally into the lungs - in short, they actually stop breathing. Dr. Blanton pulls out a diagram and explains how this obstruction may occur. “There are

TourCollierville.com

a number of causes as to why sleep apnea may occur: a small upper airway (or large tongue, tonsils or uvula), being overweight, having a recessed chin, small jaw or even a large overbite. During sleep, when the head is tilted back, the block in airﬂow is usually caused by the collapse of the soft tissues in the back of the throat and tongue. When soft tissues vibrate, snoring occurs.” But just because you snore doesn’t mean that you have sleep apnea. “Most of my patients are brought in by their bed partners,” Blanton continues. I raise my hand, because in all seriousness, between the two of us, my husband sleeps soundly, but I only get 1-2 hours of sleep a night as his snoring comes and goes during the night. “I always refer my clients to a sleep physician or clinic before treating them with an appliance,” says Blanton. “We

work in tandem. There are only 200 or less Board Certified Dentists in the United States that have their certificates in Dental Sleep Medicine that can offer therapy for snoring and sleep apnea.” And, Blanton is one of them. I pick up the mouthpiece with the bubble gum pink appliance that looks like a futuristic mouth guard and manually slide the top and bottom pieces together. “Everyone has a range of motion with their jaw. These devices snap over the upper and lower dental arches and have hinges that make it possible for the lower jaw to be eased forward. This custom-made appliance allows me the ability to control the degree of positioning that will keep the jaw forward, the tongue away from the airway, keeping the flow of oxygen open.” Why, oh why haven’t more people been fitted with these (as I scribble down a date on our family calendar)? Blanton nods and says, “any dentist can make an appliance. The difference is understanding the medical condition. Most of my patients are referred to me by a sleep physician and

we work as a team to enhance our client’s quality of life.”Dr. Blanton does just that, in 2008, he was voted by his peers as the Top Dentist in the MidSouth. And, the reason why he turned to this extensive dental certification is personal. “It’s personal. I was diagnosed with sleep apnea in 2007. After researching how I could correct my own sleeping disorder, I found that I could help others become more aware of issues beyond just treating the gums.” He also found a great way to stay knowledgeable and a way to stay stimulated in the field after 33 years as a practicing dentist. “My favorite part of the day is when I am referred a client from a sleep physician, they come in for a fitting, and two weeks after wearing the appliance the wife is estatic (she is sleeping through the night) and the patient has more energy because he is sleeping through the night! These patients come back for a follow-up for Apnea treatment and they are different people emotionally. Clients tell me the stories about the positive changes in their children from a referral I made or they

discuss their blood pressure with their primary care physician because of a BP screening we did during their hygiene appointment. These are the things that give what I do meaning, something that is not as readily felt from doing thousands of ﬁllings, root canals, crowns and tooth extractions.” This makes both of us smile. ___________________________________ by Wendy Nations

The topic of lower back injury causes, treatments and prevention is a large one. The more I learn, the more there is to learn. What you often hear is that a strong core in the key to reducing lower back injuries. I agree. Sit-ups used to be considered the gold standard in core development, but we now know that repetitive compression and ﬂexion of the lumbar spine adds up over time to create weakened lumbar facet joints and deteriorated discs making them more prone to bulging and herniation. After the sit-up was exposed, the concept of sucking the belly button up towards the spine to activate a muscle called the Transverse Abdominis was born. The problem is that shortly after that study, it was shown that isolated transverse abdominis activation (pulling up) did not improve core stability or decrease strain on the lower back structures but it is still touted in the mainstream as a valid method of core activation.

Watch your Back

PREVENTING LOWER BACK INJURIES

“Abdominal bracing” is the strategy used early on to activate a cylinder of protection. This strategy is based on developmental Kinesiology, which is the study of how baby’s movements develop throughout the early months to earn upright posture. Bracing is using all abdominal and lower back muscles together to create a stable yet pliable system of protection for your spine. This cylinder connects your lower rib cage to your pelvis and uses your pelvic floor and diaphragm as the roof and floor of the cylinder. The diaphragm should be able to simultaneously add stability to the core and move up and down for the majority of your breathing needs. If you cannot breathe during your bracing, you are doing it wrong. Bracing can be thought of as simultaneous activation (with minimal movement) of the muscles of the core and lower back to provide stiffness and connection of the upper and lower body and feels like you are preparing to take a medicine ball to the stomach. Your abdominal wall should harden and fill the space between your ribs and pelvis without expanding out beyond those margins (don’t inflate). It will feel like there is inward toning and when done correctly will even impress your Pilates instructor. How does this relate to sports and

everyday life? We move too much in our lower backs. Bending forward and twisting are the most common ways that people injure their lower back. The lumbar facet joints have bony stops laterally that restrict rotation. Our thoracic spine (upper back) however is designed to rotate and the two ball joints of our hips are also incredible sources of rotation. So what’s the problem? The “joint by joint approach” shows us that our body is divided into alternating areas of flexibility and stability and that departure from its intended purpose puts stress on the other areas. For instance, if you need to reach forward and touch the floor but your hips and hamstrings are too tight to allow you bend that way, your lower back will sacrifice its stability to allow you to get there. Try it, place a broom stick down your back from head to tailbone and bend forward. Most of us will not make it very far before the connection is lost with the tailbone as our lumbar spine begins to flex forward and or core muscles turn off to allow this to happen. If we were to do it correctly, our pelvis would tip forward so our tailbone moved up to the sky and our lumbar spine could stay neutral for the majority of the move and our upper back would add a little flexion as well. If we apply the concept to rotary athletes who play soccer, golf, baseball, tennis etc. your hips and thoracic spine should twist while your core muscles stay strong (belly button and belt buckle move together). If the hips and upper back don’t have the ability to twist the proper amount, your core relaxes and your lumbar spine twists into damaging positions. To best train your complete core, motion of the core muscles isn’t really required. They should be trained to hold and brace and resist damaging motions. Abdominal bracing should be used as a precursor to “athletic” movements like getting out of bed or reaching for that glass on the shelf because all movements really do require proper form.

When Jennifer Ransom sings, you know her heart and soul permeate every word. I visit her on a Sunday afternoon to shoot the home she has painstakingly remodeled and decorated with touches of our own colorful personality. Her sons, Jackson and Ricky, keep things moving, making her home the hub of neighborhood boy activity. In spite of my promise that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll only need an hour, I leave almost four hours later. Jennifer is an old soul. She talks lovingly about the people she has encountered, especially those she knows through Hope Church where she is Choir Director. Each Sunday she stands before an audience of thousands and brings a most righteous sound from a group of ordinary people who simply want to lift up their voice in worship. The experience is transcendent.

September/October 2015

I asked Jennifer to tell me a bit about her new construction endeavor: “Some of you may recognize me as the Choir Director at Hope Church Memphis. Others may know me as a basketball coach in the Germantown Basketball League. But what most people don’t know and may be shocked to find out is that I am also a licensed, bonded and insured Home Improvement Contractor and am in the process of obtaining my Residential and Small Commercial General Contractor license. I had been renovating and remodeling spaces for friends and family for a few years and would repeatedly hear how hard it was for them to find good contractors who show up and do what they said they were going to do. My friends were so pleased with my work and honest approach that they encouraged me to formalize my business. My company name, “The Ransomed Group, Inc.” reflects the soul and spirit of our approach. Based on Matthew 20:28, I see my work as a ministry and an opportunity to serve others. Oftentimes the condition of our homes mirrors the condition of our lives. If we are able to improve one, it often reflects in the other and that’s my goal…to serve people and help them live life beautifully. As a woman in the construction business, it can be difficult to be taken seriously because I did not come up in the ranks of a tradesman. But the value I add is in construction management and providing a keen attention to detail. As a mom, business owner and minister of music, my life is one big multi-task, so juggling multiple projects at once is not only my forte but it’s where I feel most comfortable.” -- Jen

On August 29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina swept through the Mississippi Gulf Coast, leaving a landscape of destruction. Yet the landscape of memory remains. Your grandmother’s house. The neighborhood where you learned to ride your bike. The church where you were married. People who love the coast long to talk about what makes this place so special to them. Many of the charming summer cottages and stately beach front homes that deﬁned the coast are gone, only photographs and memories remain since that endless wet day in August 2005. Other treasured places, so badly damaged in the storm, have been saved through the heroic eﬀorts of the people of the Mississippi Gulf Coast.

100 MEN HALL

MARY MAHONEY’S 110 Rue Magnolia • Biloxi • 1850

1050 Beach Blvd. • Biloxi • Built 1848

The One Hundred Men Debating Benevolent Association, a group of African American residents from Bay St. Louis, constructed an open-air, screened meeting hall in 1922 to “give entertainments for the purpose of replenishing the treasury.” The “pavilion” (as it was called by local residents) was later enclosed, becoming the center of the Bay St. Louis African American social scene, hosting plays, pageants, wedding receptions and dances. Severely damaged in Hurricane Katrina, the restoration was taken on by Jesse and Kerrie Loya. Jesse did much of the restoration work himself, using lumber salvaged from the storm. The hard work paid off when 100 Men DBA Hall was officially inducted into the Mississippi Blues Trail and adorned with a marker. The celebration was heavily attended and boasted notable guests including Deacon John Moore, who lovingly reflected on his memories of the hall and its spirit. Today, the 100 Men Hall is operated by a non-profit organization and continues to entertain its Bay St. Louis neighbors as a live blues venue, welcoming guests to events of all kinds. Support the 100 Men DBA Hall by purchasing a personalized folding chair or the newly released Live at 100 Men Hall LP at www.100menhall.org.

Mary Mahoney’s opened its ﬁrst location in nearby Tivoli Hotel, later moving to a historic house on Rue Magnolia in 1963. Mary passed away in 1985, but not before serving her specialty, “The Presidential Platter” on the White House lawn for President Ronald Regan. Under Mary and her son Bobby’s stewardship, the restaurant thrived, surviving many storms and even Hurricane Camille in 1969. In 2005, Hurricane Katrina dealt a devastating blow. Bobby stood on the second ﬂoor watching the storm waters, his hand pressed against a bulging window, willing it not to break. It did, throwing him across the room. They considered a trip to the hospital but it, too, was under water. Duct tape was ultimately chosen to bandage his wounds. Following the storm, Bobby spray-painted a message on the wall for patrons, “We’ll Be Back!”, which soon changed to “We Are Back!”, as the restaurant reopened in a remarkable 55 days to welcome back survivors and the many volunteers who came to help. In those dark days, Mary Mahoney’s was a sanctuary, a place to reconnect with friends and neighbors and swap storm stories. Today the restaurant’s website proudly displays photos and notes from celebrities and dignitaries, including President John F. Kennedy, Paul Newman, Tennessee Williams, Gloria Vanderbilt and President Jimmy Carter.

The Biloxi Lighthouse’s sturdy construction has withstood over 20 hurricanes, continuing to serve as a beacon of hope to coastal residents. Erected in 1848 as a guiding light for those at sea, it has been widely regarded as a symbol of resilience and community. The subject of automobile license plates, countless postcards and paintings, it evokes thoughts of hot summer days and long walks along the beach. After every storm, the strength and presence of the Biloxi Lighthouse calls residents to return and rebuild. Light from the ﬁfth order Fresnel lens can be seen as far as 13 nautical miles on a clear night. Between 1848 and 1939, the lighthouse was tended by six keepers, three of whom were women. The lighthouse has provided navigation for steamboats transporting passengers, freight and mail from New Orleans to Mobile as well as lumber barges, oyster schooners, shrimpers and pleasure boaters. During Hurricane Katrina, waters rose to cover over a third of its height. The interior suﬀered structural damage as numerous bricks broke loose from the onslaught. Many of the cupola windows were broken and the electrical system destroyed. After a $400,000 restoration, the City of Biloxi reopened its jewel for tours in March 2010.

WALTER ANDERSON COTTAGE

CHARNLEY NORWOOD HOUSE

102 Shearwater Dr. • Ocean Springs • 1850

509 Shearwater Dr. • Ocean Springs • 1890

Walter Inglis Anderson, the American artist, painter, writer and naturalist, was consumed with nature’s integration into the life of man. Frequent solitary trips to Horn Island during his life brought extended exposure to the elements that included Walter’s legendary act of tying himself to a tree while the island was battered by a hurricane. This passion for nature was captured in his hundreds of paintings, sketches, manuscripts and carvings. For many years, this one story frame Greek Revival cottage was Anderson’s home and workshop. Inside the cottage, he painted a mural on the walls and ceilings of a bedroom called “Creation at Sunrise,” which was later removed from the cottage and installed at the Walter Anderson Museum of Art. Floodwater from Hurricane Katrina ﬂoated the cottage approximately six feet from its foundation, ripping away the ﬁreplace, with its glazed brick hummingbird pattern created by Anderson. Immediately after the storm, the Mississippi Heritage Trust, in partnership with the National Trust for Historic Preservation, World Monuments Fund and Johnson and Johnson, worked to stabilize the cottage, raising the house back to its previous level and repairing the foundation piers. The cottage was later fully restored with funding from the MDAH Katrina Recovery Grant Program.

A watershed in American residential architecture, the Charnley-Norwood House was constructed in 1890 and designed by international acclaimed architect Louis Sullivan and his young journeyman draftsman Frank Lloyd Wright. Severely damaged in Hurricane Katrina, the house came within inches of being hauled to the dump. A collaborative partnership between the Mississippi Department of Archives and History and the Mississippi Department of Marine Resources funded the $2.3 million dollar acquisition and restoration of this modern architectural masterpiece. Under the supervision of Albert and Associates, Architects and the staﬀ of the Mississippi Department of Archives and History Gulf Coast Field Oﬃce, the house was meticulously restored by contractor J.O. Collins.
