Whether its thousands of people gathering to cheer on the Ole Miss Rebels, hosting film and art festivals, attending book signings and concerts, Oxonians find a way to make it all special. This time of year is especially exciting around our small town as we celebrate Christmas and ring in a new year. Let us help you decide where to stay, things to do and recipes to cook as this new season unfolds. I, for one, am excited to try the appetizing pecan recipes on page 40!

LIVING WATERS FOR THE WORLD PROVIDES HANDS ON TRAINING IN OXFORD

BY Kathryn Winter Camp Hopewell, hidden in the midst of Holly Springs National Forest, is a year-round retreat center and summer camp that caters to Oxford and surrounding communities. What many people do not know about Camp Hopewell is that it also serves as a training center for an organization known as Living Waters for the World.

Living Waters for the World (LWW) is an organization that trains and equips mission teams to share the gift of clean,sustainable water with communities in need. The organization was founded as a ministry to the Presbyterian Church (USA), but welcomes people of all walks of life and all denominations. According to the Living Waters website, the need for clean water is overwhelming. Over three million people die each year from water related illnesses, and most of them are children. OLE MISS STUDENT VOLUNTEERS Wil Howie, founder and ambassador of LWW, said 4

that the organization trains volunteers four times a yearthree times in Oxford at Camp Hopewell and one time at Calvin Crest Conferences, near Oakhurst, California. The training lasts for four and a half days, and it is called Clean Water U. The organization began training in March of 2004. Over the past 11 years in Oxford, 2,000 volunteers have been trained. Clean Water U has trained Ole Miss students from 36 states with many international students as well.

water and process it through our modular clean water systems to purify it for human consumption.” HOW IT WORKS Through filtration and disinfection processes, bacteria, chlorine-resistant organisms and other impurities are removed from the water. The system can process up to 300 gallons of water per hour. Living Waters serves 25 different nations, has 711 installed systems and has 11 regional networks. They include Cuba, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala, Ghana, Haiti, Honduras, Peru, Southeast Mexico, Nicaragua, and Yucatan. All of LWW’s systems are located in institutional settings like: churches, health clinics, schools, hospitals and orphanages. These systems do not plumb into homes, but people can get the clean water in five-gallon bottles. For more information about Living Waters for the World, visit their web site at www.livingwatersfortheworld.org.

We don’t drill wells or provide access to water

We teach people to empower local leaders to build and operate systems.

We provide clean water and health education to their communities.

Howie said. “Our goal is to use available but contaminated

We invite you to join us in our mission!

It’s all about teaching others and letting them carry it on

LIVING WATER PARTNERS LWW partners with an initiating partner, usually a U.S. based church or civic organization, the initiating partner then partners with an operating partner in a specific community in the world like Oxford or Ole Miss. “The Civil Engineering department at Ole Miss is working with us as a service learning project where we are providing handson training and they are helping us evaluate our equipment, our treatment processes and designs,” Young said.

JOHNNY AND SUSAN MCPHAIL AN EXCLUSIVE LOOK AT OXFORD’S OWN

ACTOR AND ACTRESS

BY SUSANNE STRIDER

ohnny and Susan McPhail are actord from Oxford, Mississippi. They have appeared in several films, including some that have been in the Oxford Film Festival, and have appeared alongside many local and national actors. Johnny and Susan exude an energy and zeal for life, and that is palpable when you speak with them—especially when they talk about acting, their children and friends. Johnny has been the half of this dynamic duo who, up to 10

now, has done the majority of movie, television and theater appearances, and this year Susan appeared in two films at the Sundance Film Festival, the largest film festival in the United States. The two really connect as a couple. They giggle like school kids, and when Johnny looks at Susan, he has stars in his eyes. Who could blame him? With her Mae West looks and attitude, Susan is quite the beauty and a Southern accent that drips from her mouth like honey.

n one of their most current debuts,Texas Heart, Johnny and Susan play a couple who take a special interest in the “new-kid-in-town” lawyer, played by Erik Fellows. John Savage (The Deer Hunter; The Godfather, Part III; Summer of Sam) also guest stars in this movie. In 2005, Susan played “Freeda McCommon” in J.D. Evermore’s Glorious Mail. Later, she played “Lady in Hell” in Jim Bulian’s 2007 film Bellringer. Susan also played “June” in Meaghin Burke’s Killer Kudzu, which also featured Johnny. Kudzu Killer was the winner of the Oxford Film Festival’s Community Film Project in 2014. In 2015, Johnny appeared in the movie American Ultra. He played a gas

station attendant alongside Jesse Eisenberg, a Golden Globe and Academy Award nominee. Apart from acting, Susan has dedicated much of her life, both at home and on the screen, to breaking down the barriers and helping to reverse the stigma given to special needs people. Susan was a special education teacher for over 25 years, public speaker and education consultant. Susan has had some success. In the 2014 Big Significant Things, directed by Alison Eastwood, Clint Eastwood’s daughter, Johnny and Susan appear in the same scene with each other and their daughter Ashley, who is autistic. Apparently, the talent runs in the family. Susan and Johnny have had roles in a host of other movies, and Susan will appear in six other films that are to be released later. AS AN ACTOR, YOU HAVE TO BE THAT CHARACTER,” SUSAN SAID. “YOU IMAGINE YOURSELF AS THAT PERSON, AND I THINK THAT HELPS (AT LEAST IT HELPS ME) TO BAE MORE NATURAL. Look for Johnny and Susan on the screen at the Oxford Film Festival and the Malco Theater. Download the hottytoddy.com app!

BY ANGELA ROGALSKI

You can’t beat the small-town atmosphere of Oxford anywhere. It’s something that’s palpable and reminiscent of the Americana many feel have long-since passed us by. Within the city itself, there is any number of fun and interesting things to do, from shopping on the Square to visiting Faulkner’s Rowan Oak for a dose of true Southern inspiration. The choices are as varied and compelling as the leaves on the trees in the Grove. But if you want a weekend trip, something out of the city, but close enough that you can get back to the Square before the nightlife comes alive; here are few engaging and fun places you might want to check out:

Marshall County Historical Museum 220 E. College Ave. Holly Springs Miss. (662) 252-3669

About 30 minutes north of Oxford is the picturesque town of Holly Springs. The city itself is filled with beautiful antebellum architecture and quaint hometown beauty. The Marshall County Historical 14

Museum is three floors of Marshall County history at its best. The museum artifacts on display were all donated by local residents and represent a true kaleidoscope of random pieces that typify each era of the city’s history. From Civil War memorabilia to taxidermy animals indigenous to Mississippi; the museum is a wonderland of quirkiness and eccentric pieces that only a true native could have the foresight to donate. And the charm of the building itself, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, can’t be beat. Originally built

as a girls’ dormitory for the Mississippi Synodical College during the early 20th century, the building is large and offers a genteel welcome to come in and take a leisurely look around at everything. The Marshall County Historical Museum is open all year except Christmas, New Year’s Day and Thanksgiving.

It is located at 220 East College Avenue. Normal operating hours are from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday and closed on Saturday, except by special arrangement made by calling the Museum in advance, during regular operating hours. Admission is $5.00 for adults and $3.00 for children.

For more information or to arrange for a group tour or Saturday openings, call 662-252-3669.

Museum Hours

Thursday, Friday and Saturday 2:00 p.m. until 4:00 p.m. And by special arrangement.

Water Valley Casey Jones Railroad Museum 105 Railroad St. Water Valley, Miss. (662) 473-3828

The Water Valley Casey Jones Railroad Museum is located in the Heart of downtown Water Valley, Mississippi, about 30 minutes south of Oxford. There is no charge for admission into the museum. The Water Valley Lions Club is preserving the city’s rich railroad history by

restoring the Water Valley Depot and providing a place for the Water Valley Casey Jones Railroad Museum. What you’ll see once you get to the museum is a rich history of the city’s railroad past, such as memorabilia, photographs and documents of historical interest, many of which came from the families of former IC employees and others with an interest in preserving Water Valley’s railroad heritage. It’s a fun and interesting afternoon for the whole family. Download the hottytoddy.com app!

Foxfire Ranch 1465 Old Oxford Road Waterford, Mississippi (662) 801-7085

About 20 minutes north of Oxford is the Foxfire Ranch. Foxfire Ranch has sought to revive the Hill Country Blues juke joint tradition in a safe family atmosphere.

The Foxfire blues season runs from March through early November of each year. The facility has a 5,000 squarefoot open air pavilion, an indoor banquet hall, three stages, and a kitchen that has come to be known for some of the best soul found in the area. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also available for private parties and gatherings. Blues is performed each Sunday evening, rain or shine and admission is $10 per person, children under 13 get in free, and shows start at 5pm. Everybody is always welcomed at Foxfire Ranch.

Inside the Opry

TULA OPRY BRINGS LOCAL MUSIC & FOND MEMORIES TO ALL BY SHANE BROWN

Once a month, good music is being played in a small wooden building that was created by a desire

It is great music. It happens on Saturday nights, and it happens in Tula, Mississippi. It has been a little secret for a while, but talk and talent have people coming to witness its authenticity. It is called the Tula Opry. When you walk up to the Tula Opry, a wooden boardwalk that’s twenty feet long leads you onto a front porch that holds swings on both ends and benches as well. There is plenty 20

of sitting room and standing room on this porch. Antique and rustic signs hang on the walls of the front porch that dangle from under the black and white sign of its entrance that reads “Tula Opry.” You can hear the twanging of a guitar or the pounding of a bass and someone’s voice, but not until you enter past the screen door and at the twist of a doorknob you hear some good music.

Once inside, the floor is open. It is lined with chairs and most every Saturday night they are occupied. There are ten rows with each row holding twelve chairs. The small kitchen that sets to the back side was full, too, as Southern Belles hand out Cokes and cookies and other desires and treats. The walls are full of pictures antique things. The stage is small, but bright with lights. The lights focus you on each member of the band playing bluegrass or gospel music. The audience is quiet and appreciated during each song. Jokes are told and friendships are made. Smiles are glued to faces and eyes dancewith a foot.

welcomed by head shakes and smiles from strangers, cousins and people I grew up around. My kids and my nieces and nephew are drinking coffee and loving the music. I smile and hope they want stay a little longer. The band plays and everyone smiles. The show ends with “Will the Circle Be Unbroken” as I watch my son and nephew clap and smile and dance. I look around and everybody else is pretty much doing the same.

The music makes a soul shine and your night a better day

Rusty Pinion, a local, built the Opry five years ago. “Me and friends of mine have been playing in a bluegrass band for about 30 years, and just playing in festivals here and yonder and just got tired of going and playing all the time” Pinion said. “So the opportunity came along to build a building and we just decided to quit playing on the road so much and just play once a month here at home.” Who comes to the Opry Once a month on a Saturday Old beat up pick-up trucks, night, but not always the same BMWs, SUVs, work trucks and Saturday night, the Tula Opry all types of cars with different has a show.

The Graduate Brings Two New Restaurants To Oxford BY LIZ BARRETT FOSTER

s if a gorgeous new hotel built from the ground up wasn’t enough to impress, The Graduate, located on the corner of North Lamar and Jefferson Avenue, has brought along with it two new restaurants and a rooftop bar overlooking downtown Oxford. The first restaurant is Cabin 82 (named after the cabin that the Mannings own at the Neshoba County Fair), located directly off of the hotel lobby and accessible from an inviting exterior patio. No detail was overlooked in this cute and cozy order-at-the-counter cafe where you can check your email over a cup of coffee and chicken biscuit as early as 7 a.m., or stop in for a casual dinner of Chicken and Williams Brothers Smoked Sausage Pot Pie or Fried Chicken Skin Nachos—neither of which will put a strain on your pocketbook.“We’re really excited to be the first restaurant in Oxford to be working 28

with Williams Brothers out of Philadelphia, Mississippi,” says Jon Davis, chef de cuisine of The Graduate Oxford Hotel, who you may recognize from other Oxford venues such as Bouré and Blind Pig. “In addition to the sausage for the pot pie, we’ll also be working with Williams Brothers for our bacon and bologna.” Take the elevator up to the top floor where, after 4 p.m., the kitchen opens and drinks start flowing at The Coop, a rooftop terrace bar with unique sharable plates and a relaxed atmosphere. While the restaurant’s name is part play on the termt “chicken coop,” Davis also reveals that the true meaning can only be found in photographs displayed just inside the bar’s restrooms. How’s that for a mystery? As with Cabin 82, prices at The Coop are affordable and the space is comfortable and inviting. Once you saddle up

to the bar or pick your perfect perch on the outdoor terrace, peruse the extensive Delta tamale menu, where you’ll have a choice of seven different styles ($4 for 2), all made with local Grit Girl cornmeal. Sliders more your style ($5 for 2)? Try picking from a selection of eight types, including vegetarian. If you thought the choices ended there, there are seven options for fries and more than a dozen sauces to dip them in. And while The Coop’s location may soar high above the Oxford Square, Davis says guests will find the space pleasingly unpretentious. “There are no white tablecloths here,” he says. “The Coop is all about grabbing a cocktail with some friends and sharing a few snacks.”

THE NICAUD BROTHERS ARE BRINGING THE BACCHUS TO THE SQUARE BY CALLIE DANIELS

he name Bacchus come from the family’s roots in New Orleans. The Nicaud brothers’ grandmother and fat h e r ow n e d restaurants in the New Orleans as well as their uncle owning Lil’ Rays’ in Long Beach. Jourdan Nicaud, is a successful restaurant entrepreneur who opened three restaurants by the time he turned 24 last year. 32

He said, “We’re all longtime Ole Miss fans, and we’re definitely excited to be here.” His younger brother, Field Nicaud is a sophomore majoring in hospitality at the University of Mississippi. Field is more than ready to help Jourdan manage Bacchus on the Square. A true sophomore, Field will have to wait until he turns 21 in November, the same age Jourdan was when he opened his first restaurant. Still, in the days leading up the grand opening, Field helped his brother with the set up as well as getting the word out among his Ole Miss friends.

The menu offers everything from seafood, salads, pasta, and food with a creole flavor. A popular favorite among the locals is $10 pork chop Monday featuring the “Almost Famous Pork Chop.” Jourdan and Field both confirmed the $10 pork chop Monday dish is the crowd’s favorite. Field said,

You can get a pork chop and three sides all day and all night for $10 on Mondays. The Nola Debris Fries is also a favorite. Bacchus also has great oysters on the half shell, and the Barbecue Royal Reds are fabulous when they’re in season. Anyone that loves New Orleans style Cajun food will love this menu. For starter dishes, there are Salmon Nachos, Seared Tuna, Spinach Bienville, Sweet Chili

Chicken and Tomato Gouda with Crabmeat. They serve surf and turf dishes such as Fried Rebel Red Shrimp fried in Cajun-blended cornmeal and served with homemade white Remoulade sauce. There are sandwiches like the Creole Club featuring ham and smoked gouda with applewood smoked bacon and chipotle garlic mayo. A sandwich stands out: Famous Shrimp PoBoy made of seared tuna, fried shrimp, lettuce, pickled cucumbers topped with soy reduction, spicy mayo and sriracha all for $19.95.

Newk’s, born in Oxford, is growing into an industry leader in the fast-casual food category. Newk’s has grown into one of the nation’s fastest growing franchise restaurant chains, with 66 units across 13 states. The owners have set their sights on opening a total of 200 restaurants by 2019. “Yes we’re proud of our growth but it’s all based on each individual restaurant’s commitment to fresh ingredients, thoughtful preparation and 36

outstanding customer service,” Melinda Spillee, Newk’s marketing director, said.

We marinade our fresh chicken overnight and hand slice it. It’s never frozen as you’ll find at other restaurants in our category

“We marinade our fresh chicken overnight and hand slice it. It’s never frozen as you’ll find at other restaurants in our category,” Spillee said. Newk’s original restaurant concept and its menu are the inspiration of Chris Newcomb, who has both a natural acumen for all things culinary. In fact, most of the restaurant chain’s most popular menu items are the result of longstanding family recipes finding their way onto the menu.

DEBBIE JOHNSON OF KESSINGER REAL ESTATE hether it’s a condo for game weekends or a forever home nestled somewhere in the countryside; Debbie Johnson of Kessinger Real Estate can help to fulfill those dreams and meet all of your needs when it comes to residential and commercial property in North Mississippi. Johnson has been serving customers all over the area since 2003 for all of their real estate needs.“I handle residential and commercial properties,” Johnson said. “I have several subdivisions that I work with new builders on. I also do 48

farmland, hunting land and residential condos and new development areas. However, I don’t do any rental properties in my coverage area.” Johnson said for the most part sales growth has been excellent and she looks forward to even more gain in the overall real estate market. “I am very excited by the excellent sales in the area,” she said, “especially in the condo market. That particular area of interest is going really well thanks to our students and their parents who need these

living spaces for indefinite periods of time.”Johnson said she stays extremely busy and loves every minute of it. “I graduated from North Delta Academy and have lived in Northern Mississippi pretty much my entire life,” she said. “And the reason that I got into real estate and love it so very much is the satisfaction that I feel when I connect people to the right house, land or business property. The buyers and sellers are the important ones through any purchase or sale. It means so much to me that each one of my clients is satisfied with their investment. I want them to be happy with me as their agent and always happy with what they buy. That’s what it’s all about.” Johnson loves her Ole Miss Rebels so much that she joins fans to ask each of her potential clients: are they ready – ready to buy or sell that perfect house or property that is.

“Are you ready to buy or sell into the Oxford area,” Johnson said. “If you are, then I can definitely help you. I can sell it for you and on the buyer’s side; I can make sure that you get exactly what you’re looking for in your dream home.”

CAMPUS CREEK

APARTMENTS An Ole Miss Classic

all in Oxford brings a number of exciting things for Ole Miss students, from Saturdays spent at VaughtHemingway to finally breaking out sweaters to hit the Square. Despite all of the excitement of the season, students have to begin preparing for next August when they will pack up from summer and return back to the Promised Land, this time in a new home. As students on campus begin searching for the best apartment to turn Pinterest perfect, they do not have very far to look. Campus Creek, an apartment complex located right off of campus, is the ideal location for students and Oxford residents alike who crave the convenience of campus coupled with the coziness of a furnished three or four bedroom apartment. Located off of Hathorn Road on 52

Creekmore Boulevard, Campus Creek has been an Ole Miss goto when choosing off campus housing since it first opened in 2004. In large part because of its location, which is a stone’s throw to campus or Jackson Avenue, students continuously flock here to sign leases each year. One aspect that specifically draws students to Campus Creek is the large number of amenities that they provide. Not only is each unit furnished,

the complex itself has anything one could dream of needing including a washer and dryer, but also the complex itself has anything one could dream of needing. From a fitness center, pool, tanning beds and volleyball court to a car wash

area and computer lab complete with printing services, students are able to get all the amenities of a luxury complex in a convenient location at a much lower price than the competition. According to Campus Creek’s leasing and marketing manager, Erin Marshall, the list of amenities goes on and on. “Because Campus Creek has been here so long, the square footage and common area is a lot bigger than other places,” Marshall said. “The location for the price is also a bonus. Since we’re all-inclusive, it’s a great transition place for students.” In the three years that Marshall has been with Campus Creek, she said that apartments are being leased quicker than ever this year, leading her

to believe that they will be completely full in the very near future. Leasing one of these apartments is easier than ever, as Campus Creek features online leasing. With a few clicks, you can quickly reserve your home for next year. Marshall said, “Our online leasing is very convenient, especially for transfer students or students with parents who live out of state.”

RE/MAX Legacy Realty A Realty Family RE/MAX Legacy Realty has been a growing part of the Oxford community since its inception. Working with thousands of clients from Oxford, surrounding towns and other cities all over the country, they have expanded into one of the largest real estate companies in the area. Managing broker Tena Taylor joined the team in 2009. She attributes much of RE/MAX’s success to the agents, whom she considers not only coworkers, but also a family. “I come from a very big Italian family,” Taylor 56

said. “And my comparison is that those I work with are just like that. We’re a big huge family that relies on each other, has discussions with each other, and I could not ask for a better group.” Taylor has seen that “family” grow since her hiring in 2009, when RE/MAX Legacy had 10 agents. Compare that to today, where there are now 33 agents from different backgrounds who treat each other as part of one big family. One of these agents is realtor Jackie Pegues. Pegues has

worked for RE/MAX Legacy for two years, but has been in real estate for 19 years. She sees a few differences at RE/MAX compared to companies she has worked for in the past. “The biggest difference between here and places I’ve worked in the past is that I really love the relationships I have with the other agents,” Pegues said. “In real estate, agents are independent. So, we are always working on our own projects, but we all have a family relationship. Everyone is always doing their own thing but always checks on each other, say if one of us gets sick or has a family emergency.” That family cohesiveness translates into good relationships with clients. One of RE/MAX Legacy’s clients is Ole Miss student Luke Gaffney, who has been a client for over a year. “They make it really easy,” Gaffney said, “I found a house I wanted to look into. I called my realtor at RE/MAX, and they helped me out. They did a great job and made the process really easy.”

We’re a big huge family that relies on each other This “family” works for everyone in and around Oxford, whether it is housing for locals, housing for students or second homes for people from out of town. These clients come to RE/MAX with a need, and that need is met. There is no doubt that with the tremendous growth in the Oxford area combined with RE/ MAX Legacy’s track record of success, this realty “family” will continue to grow. As RE/ MAX Legacy welcomes new members, these new additions will continue the tradition of working together for the Oxford community just like those who helped grow the company to where it is today.

When you are looking for an energetic banking team who knows what it means to be “downhome and personal,” Trustmark is where you need to do business. “I can’t stress it enough; we are a young and fun bank at Trustmark,” Gross said. “When you walk through the door, we try and convey that simply because that’s who we are. We value your business and we enjoy seeing our customers come in.” As an Oxford native and Ole Miss graduate, he decided to move back home after years of working

Gross said Trustmark is very adamant about maintaining that small town banking experience for their customers. “All of our decisions aren’t shipped to Jackson while we wait for a response. This bank wouldn’t have the market share, history, and reputation it does if it didn’t allow its branches to put a local focus on things,” Gross said.
