Memphis Magazine's THE 2023

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR | BY ANNA TRAVERSE FOGLE

Ja, Guns, and Zoos

Guns frighten me. The reaction — unchanged for my entire remembered life — is more visceral than political. The first childhood nightmare I can recall involved a gun. To this day, when I see a gun — whether attached to a law enforcement officer or to a random guy strolling through Overton Park — I want to put as much distance as possible between my body and that hunk of metal. Now that Tennessee allows citizens to wander around with loaded handguns, without so much as filing for a permit, I see a lot of guns.

That’s the emotional bias I bring to the spectacle of Grizzlies star Ja Morant shooting his dazzling career in the foot.

Merely six months ago, this very magazine named Morant and his team our 2022 Memphians of the Year, for their outsized impact on a city in need of heroes. I don’t mind telling you that by early March, when Morant appeared on Instagram Live brandishing a handgun in a strip club, we breathed a sigh of relief that our cover story had appeared before the point guard’s fall from grace. What if, we asked ourselves, he had gone live in that club during the 10 days or so between when we turn over files to our printer and when we deliver finished magazines? (Welcome to the minds of print-media editors.)

After the strip club incident, Morant checked himself into a treatment facility in Florida to receive counseling for his emotional issues, which I would guess are very real. But, as you will recall, he spent mere days at that facility, during which he found time for an on-camera, closely choreographed interview with ESPN and a meeting with NBA commissioner Adam Silver. Have you, your family, or your close friends ever spent time in a treatment facility for mental health concerns, like anger, depression, or addiction? Were meetings with media, or with your boss’s boss’s boss, on the schedule? Didn’t think so.

We’ve also learned, in recent months, of a day last summer when Morant allegedly brandished a gun at, and repeatedly punched, a teenager playing pickup basketball at the star’s home court. The teenager sued, and Morant has filed a countersuit. Whatever the outcome, it’s not a good look.

Most recently, of course, just days before we finished this issue of the magazine, Morant was back in the headlines for … what else? Flashing a gun. Again. On social media. Again. This time, he was on a buddy’s Instagram Live feed, but no matter. There’s Morant, and there’s a handgun. In Tennessee, he wasn’t even breaking the law. But that’s not the point, is it? By his own account this March, Morant needs to cool it with the hijinks: “So, you know, my job now is, like I

said, being more responsible, smarter, and don’t cause any [more off-court controversy] anymore.” To appear on a live feed showing off a handgun, after all he’s cost himself and his teammates (including the $39 million contract bump he could have realized, had he made the All-NBA teams this year, and surely he would have, were it not for the distractions) … it’s mind-bogglingly stupid. It’s self-sabotage of epic proportions. All of which could have been avoided simply by not going live. I’m obviously not encouraging anyone to fool around with guns — but I didn’t actually have to know that Morant still sometimes does.

I’m more immediately freaked out, to be honest, by the guy ahead of me in the checkout line with a handgun on his belt. I’m more freaked out by our state legislators who see fit to allow, nay, encourage this state’s citizens to arm themselves like guns are about to be discontinued AND war is coming. I’m frightened of guns, but I’m not frightened of Morant. What I am is sad.

Morant plays with the name ‘Memphis’ emblazoned on his chest, and the city has embraced him over his years here. Kids and adults alike sport ‘12’ jerseys, and waited eagerly for Nike’s Ja 1 sneaker to be released earlier this year. But does he love Memphis back? Before the Memphian of the Year designation, this magazine earlier approached him about a solo cover story; he declined, through his representatives, offering no particular reason. Just couldn’t be bothered. You can’t convince me that someone who spends the amount of time that Morant apparently spends in nightclubs can’t make time for a 45-minute interview.

When we were trying to persuade Morant’s people to persuade Morant, we proposed that he stand alongside Ja Raffe, the young giraffe that the Memphis Zoo named for him, to the athlete’s delight. Even Ja Raffe wasn’t enough to convince him. And then the Zoo traded Raffe to Utah’s Hogle Zoo — because the giraffe competed too heavily for attention in Memphis, which can lead to fighting among the herd. The trade felt, at first, like an unfortunate plot twist. Now … I don’t know.

CLASSIC DINING

Napa Café

Eclectic

cuisine in a Southern California-inspired atmosphere.

BY MICHAEL DONAHUE

Napa Caf É , with its elegantly modern Southern California decor and tantalizing cuisine (potato-encrusted halibut or double chocolate stout-braised short ribs, anyone?), is celebrating its 25th anniversary

e story of how Glenda Hastings became the owner of the restaurant in 2002 sounds like a movie.A native Memphian, Hastings decided she wanted to own the Napa Café Even though somebody else owned the place at the time — and it wasn’t for sale.

She had been working part-time as a manager at the restaurant on Sanderlin about two years while studying at the University of Memphis. “I was going into medicine, and my degree is in chemistry. So health and wellness has always been my passion.”

But after 10 years of planning to join the medical field, Hastings suddenly realized she didn’t want to do that anymore.

Her new goal in life hit her “like a lightning bolt” while she was driving along Winchester. “I said out loud, ‘I want to own Napa Café.’”

She realized how much she loved fine dining, and the old Justine’s restaurant in Memphis

was a big part of that. “My first fine dining experience was at Justine’s when I was 15 years old. It was for a prom date. I’d never been in a restaurant like that before. I immediately fell in love with the whole dining experience and restaurant experience. Not just to eat, but to have the whole ceremony of making the reservation, getting dressed up, going to the restaurant, being greeted and seated, and mapping out the whole meal of what I was going to have.”

Hastings called Don Eschelweck, who co-owned the Napa Café with George Falls, the longtime owner of Paulette’s. She told Eschelweck she had to talk to him in person, and they met that afternoon. When she told him she wanted to buy Napa Café, Eschelweck was astonished and a bit angry, she says.

He told her, “ e restaurant is not for sale. is is absurd.” Hastings didn’t give up. She met with Eschelweck and Falls

a few weeks later. When Falls asked why she wanted to buy the restaurant, she told him she felt she could do a better job with it. “He said, ‘I think you can, too.’ He was looking for that edge to see if I had what it took to own a business.”

Hastings bought the restaurant with money her parents and friends loaned her.She changed the menu to feature “eclectic cuisine” instead of just one style. “I love to take different flavors, different things I love, and create it here,” she says. “And that can be influenced from Spain, France, Italy, Greece, Mexico. I take those flavors and try to hone it into something that is considered Napa Café.”

Her restaurant concept “wasn’t anything specific like the way something looks or a dish,” she explains.” It was more like a feeling I wanted to provide for the guests. Having an elevated dining experience, but in a cozy, welcoming environment where you have the best wine and the best food. But you can be wearing khaki shorts or a shirt and tie.”

left: Glenda Hastings welcomes diners to the Napa Café, while the author enjoys potato-crusted halibut, Thai steak, double chocolate braised short ribs, roasted piquila peppers, and baked Dungeness crab dip. inset: Napa Café offers a tempting selection of desserts.

She put her spin on the decor, which is reminiscent of restaurants she visited in Napa Valley. “It was simple, clean lines. I wanted it to feel airy and sophisticated. I knew I wanted to work with the dark wood I already had and pair that with lighter-colored walls.”

Hastings believes in giving back at Napa Caf . Eight years ago, she began Donna’s Table. “We open up the restaurant on anksgiving and cook my mother’s recipes and feed anyone in the community who wants a anksgiving feast. It’s not just about the food. It’s almost like welcoming people into my home.”

She uses beautiful tablecloths, fresh flowers, gold-rimmed china and glasses. About 120 to 150 people show up each year for the free meal. “I have no idea where the people are coming from and how they know about it,” she says.

In 2012, Hastings began hosting her “Heart Full of Soul” wine dinners at Napa Café to benefit the Soulsville Foundation at the Stax Museum of American Soul Music. Stax Music Academy students perform for guests during dinner. “It’s the biggest fundraiser they have for Soulsville.”

Hastings has no plans to add a second Napa Café location. “No way,” she says. “I love this one. I put all of my energy into this one. And kudos to the people who can do it and have their reasons for doing it. I have my one little empire under one roof.”

Napa Café is at 5101 Sanderlin Avenue, No. 122

Victoria Station & The Sellers Building

Our history expert solves local mysteries: who, what, when, where, why, and why not. Well, sometimes.

BY VANCE LAUDERDALE

all those railroad cars, I wonder?

The Memphis location opened at 2734 South Mendenhall sometime in 1976, but I can’t give you a more specific date. I’m disappointed that the newspapers of the day, which served as my main source for this longwinded story, apparently didn’t bother covering either the construction or the grand opening of our city’s Victoria Station. Wouldn’t you think hauling all those rickety boxcars down Mendenhall would be newsworthy? Did they lay down temporary tracks in the street, or carry them to the site on flatbeds and lift them into place with cranes? Either way, it’s not something you witness every day. The only visual I could find was the postcard you see here.

At any rate, the first ads for the new restaurant started showing up in 1976, so let’s go with that date. They constantly touted their selection of steaks, seafood, prime rib, and other entrees, and told readers, “At Victoria Station, you can afford to eat, drink, and be merry.” And just in case diners forgot they were eating in railroad cars, ads always showed the boxcars or caboose and mentioned, “It’s an adventure in dining that will bring you back and back again.”

DEAR VANCE: I remember a restaurant in southeast Memphis where your meals were served in railroad cars. What was the name of this establishment, and what happened to it? — G.H., MEMPHIS.

DEAR G.H.: The title of this month’s column provides your first answer. Now, let me try to fill the rest of the space here with details that will delight and entertain you, in my usual humble way.

Let me just say, from the beginning, that even though the Lauderdales were never involved in the restaurant industry, if I wanted to open a trainthemed establishment, it would have made sense — to me, anyway — to use actual dining cars. But that’s not what the owners of Victoria Station had in mind. Maybe those were too hard to find, or too expensive. At any rate, they clustered old boxcars and a caboose around a central building which served as the lobby, filled the cars with booths and tables, tucked a spacious bar into the caboose, and then decorated their new restaurant with vintage British Railway posters, brass chandeliers, and other knickknacks one might find if they ventured into the “real” Victoria Station — the namesake passenger depot in the heart of London.

I’m sorry to tell you that the establishment here wasn’t unique. The ownership group — three Cornell University graduates who came up with the concept in 1969 — opened the first Victoria Station in San Francisco, and then built precisely 100 similar places around the country. Where did they manage to find

As I recall, the place was very popular, and even the Lauderdales dined there on occasion. Restaurant critics gave the place generally favorable reviews, but looking through the old newspapers, as I do, I noticed they always qualified their praise. Headline writers liked to pick up on the railroad theme, and for a 1980 review The Commercial Appeal titled their story this way: “Victoria Station can ride in style with usually flavorful food.” Usually? One year later, a follow-up review was similar: “Fare at Victoria Station was mostly on a tasty track.”

If the place were an actual railroad, and their promotions claimed that passengers “usually” or “mostly” arrived at their destination, I’m not sure I’d ride that train. Would you?

The newspaper ads often mentioned new specials, or reduced prices, even free meals for the kiddies. By 1982, though, I noticed they took on a new tone, trying harder than usual to bring in more customers. One listed “Eight Fresh, New Reasons to Visit Victoria Station” and the tagline was “It’s a fresh, new experience.” Apparently, the novelty of eating inside an old boxcar had worn off.

Then, in March 1987, the place abruptly closed, as did most of the others around the country. The Commercial Appeal finally ran a photo — showing the boxcars being dismantled here, with the caption noting they were “pulling out to travel to new owners” — without saying who, or where, those new owners might be. A few days later, a second story headlined, “Restaurant Derailed,” noted, “Victoria Station, the East Memphis restaurant made out of rail cars, closed quietly this week. The restaurant’s 30 employees were given a week’s notice of the closing. Reporters’ calls to the attorney who handled the sale were not returned.”

above: A postcard shows the boxcars that served as dining rooms at Victoria Station. The bar was tucked inside a caboose.

“Fare at Victoria Station was mostly on a tasty track.”

With the freight cars gone, the smaller, central building that had mainly served as a lobby remained. Within a few months, Cucos Mexican Restaurante refurbished that, removing all the railroad decor, and moved in. Other owners have put that busy corner at South Mendenhall and Fox Plaza to good use over the years, usually as a car dealership. It’s presently home to a Hertz rental center.

DEAR VANCE: I recently came across an old architectural rendering showing the Sellers Building. Was this ever constructed in Memphis, and if so, where was it located? — S.W., MEMPHIS.

DEAR S.W.: In January, I wrote about the Lincoln American Tower, erected in 1924 for the headquarters of a national insurance company. A fellow aptly named Bob Sellers was one of that company’s top salesmen, and in 1967 he decided to open his own firm. The Sellers Corporation, later abbreviated to Selco, quickly expanded to offer a complete portfolio of financial services, with separate divisions devoted to insurance, pensions, profit sharing, municipal bonds, real estate, and even printing and binding. One branch oversaw the construction of a line of motels called Semi-Inns, described as “modular sleeping accommodations for the transportation industry.”

In the beginning, the new company leased a tiny, 800-square-foot building on Union Extended, but in 1971, Sellers hired the local architectural firm of Robert Hall & Associates to design the modern seven-story structure you see here, just across the street from their original building. Located at 2714 Union Extended, it’s an impressive structure, packed with unusual features. The executive offices on the top floor included such amenities as a putting green, jogging track, handball court, sauna and steam rooms, and a private dining room. “It’s our way of saying our people are the strength of our operations,” Sellers told The Commercial Appeal, “and the secret to our success.”

For the interior, Sellers turned to someone who had no experience in interior design — his wife, Marie. “Actually, I would have been hurt if he hadn’t asked me,” she told reporter Mary Alice Quinn. “So I told him I would attempt it. To prepare for the job, I took an extensive decorating course, then read every book I could get my hands on about furnishing and antiques.” Quinn called the project “a Herculean decorating job,” but when it was finished, she praised the “trend-setting design.” Marie herself said her efforts emphasized “sunshine colors” and Quinn admired the “avant-garde furniture fashioned from chrome, arrangements of silk flowers, and terrariums.” It must have been quite a place.

By this time, Selco had more than 200 employees, and Sellers reported sales of $61 million in 1973, with projections of more than $300 million for the follow-

ing year. Business was booming. Within a year, he announced plans for a second, considerably larger, building at 2690 Union Extended just a few doors south, a joint venture with Birmingham investors. The overall design, inside and out, was similar but not identical to their first building. The new building, this one 12 stories tall, would contain Selco offices and a large auditorium, with lower floors leased to other Memphis companies. The William B. Tanner

advertising and promotions agency would purchase the “old” building from Sellers. That was the plan, at least. But then it all came crashing down. Just as the second building was almost finished, a 1975 newspaper headline announced, “Sellers Tries to Salvage Firm.” The story said the company was “facing financial collapse after two straight years of losses.” The situation was bleak. The Commercial Appeal noted that the firm “was now reduced to two small companies, and employment has been cut to seven.”

It’s a complicated story, but Tanner took over the 12-story tower, and other investors purchased the seven-story Sellers Building. Meanwhile, Sellers returned to the insurance business and in the 1980s founded Banking Consultants of America. He passed away in 2001, at age 67. His former headquarters became known as the Media General Building, but over the years city and county agencies moved in, such as the Memphis City Council administrative offices and, for a while, the Memphis Arts Council. Various businesses occupy it today, and if that address has an actual name, I never found it. Sellers’ other building, the 12-story structure he never occupied for very long, is today headquarters for Lipscomb & Pitts Insurance.

Located at 2714 Union Extended, it’s an impressive structure, packed with unusual features.

We have X-rays in the room, and we can use these tiny retractors invented here in Memphis to do an operation. Within an hour, a patient is up, walking around, without pain. A little back soreness.

A third-generation neurosurgeon, it’s no surprise that some of Dr. Raul Cardenas’ earliest memories — those not on a soccer field in Mérida, Mexico, or behind a drum kit — involve the medical heroics of his father (also Raul). “I started going to the office with him when I was 15 or 16,” explains Cardenas, “because it was either that or get into trouble. Watching him in the operating room, then visiting with patients after surgery. It captured my imagination. He always loved to go to work. Always happy.”

Cardenas was born in Memphis (his father trained at Semmes Murphey Clinic in the mid-Seventies) and first returned to the city for his undergrad studies at CBU (class of 1997). When he got a call from Semmes Murphey in

2014, he and his wife — living in Houston at the time — packed their bags and returned to the Mid-South for good.

Focusing on spine and neck surgery, Cardenas has the skills to transform a patient’s life, whether that patient is suffering chronic pain or the trauma of a serious accident. It was the rapid recovery of his father’s patients that inspired Cardenas to pursue the same craft. A person would arrive at the hospital with a debilitating back ailment, unable to walk … then stroll confidently out of the hospital on her own a week later. “I thought my father walked on water,” says Cardenas. Back and neck surgery have grown to be minimally invasive, thanks largely to technology invented by Dr. Kevin Foley, a colleague of Cardenas’ at

Cardenas is quick to acknowledge his drumming skills were not going to pay any bills. But his hands have made profound impact, nonetheless, tools for the most delicate of medical procedures. “My fine motor skills under the microscope have improved significantly,” says Cardenas. “I feel bad if I touch a nerve [during surgery]. It’s become second nature.” Cardenas estimates that he performs 350 surgeries a year, many of them taking no more than an hour. “You’re always a little anxious, and you want to be,” says Cardenas. “It’s like the start of a game, if you’ve played any sports. You’re a bit on edge, hyper-focused. I could be focused for two or three hours [during a procedure] and it feels like only 20 or 30 minutes have gone by.”

The future of neck and back surgery is now, and Cardenas likes to emphasize the local impact on his field. “People in Memphis don’t necessarily know that Dr. Foley and Dr. Maurice Smith (also at Semmes Murphey) are the inventors of technology that revolutionized the way we do spine surgery,” says Cardenas. “It’s a paradigm shift. In my view, minimally invasive is the only way. And there were detractors. It fills me with a special pride.”

A nything above the diaphragm — that’s what interests Dr. Victoria Lim. From swallowing issues to dizziness, this area has some of the most complex anatomy in the human body and can present a number of problems, and as an otolaryngologist (or ear, nose, and throat doctor) at Shea Clinic, Lim is ready to solve them.

“This will sound very corny,” says Lim, “but my passion is helping people improve their health. Unfortunately, though, as a physician, you don’t just get to practice the art of medicine. You deal with all the business side of it, too, which is a shame, but it’s necessary. I think sometimes we lose sight of the individual, so I try to stress in my prac-

nearly a decade, which offers healthcare to the working uninsured at an affordable cost — an effort that she finds highly rewarding. “I tend to see more severe disease there than I do at Shea,” Lim says, noting that the cost of healthcare often deters uninsured patients from seeking help until the problem becomes too severe to manage on their own. “These are patients who are working hard and they just can’t afford insurance,” she says. “They don’t need a handout; they just need a hand up. I know that’s corny, too, but that’s really how I feel. I feel privileged to be able to help these people.”

Since she began practicing in Memphis in 1999, Lim has kept learning and embracing new technologies, she says. In fact, she became one of the first otolaryngologists in the Memphis area to perform in-office balloon sinus surgery, and the first to perform in-office Eustachian tube balloon dilation for the treatment of Eustachian tube dysfunction.

Though passionate about her practice now, Lim initially pursued medicine reluctantly, mostly because her parents wanted her to. But while she was going through the motions of her residency at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, her dad became sick and passed away. “That’s what inspired me to want to be a doctor,” Lim says. “As ENTs, we do see our patients get better the vast majority of the time, and so that’s really rewarding for me.”

In addition to her practice at Shea Clinic, Lim has volunteered with Church Health for

In the coming months, she plans to launch a public health initiative over social media with her nurse Kirby Gross at Shea Clinic. The goal is to promote awareness for Covid’s link to ear and balance problems. “We have seen a dramatic increase in patients with dizziness and even hearing loss due to Covid,” Lim says, “and a lot of people just don’t know about it.”

Brezina, and Amelia Bailey. “Fertility can be a very personal and emotional issue for our patients,” says Kutteh. “Founding our own practice allowed us to cover a larger area and provide more accessible reproductive endocrinology services.”

Kutteh is involved with many of the medical institutions around Memphis and the MidSouth, from Baptist Memorial Hospital to a teaching role at Vanderbilt University. And his work helped Newsweek recognize Fertility Associates of Memphis as one of “America’s Top 50 Fertility Clinics’’ this year. But one of the doctor’s proudest accomplishments was setting up a fertility preservation clinic at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

A s he recalls, he hadn’t planned to stay in Memphis long. Dr. William Kutteh meant to work here two or three years after arriving from North Carolina with his wife, Dr. Carol Kutteh. But the duo saw a city that was sorely lacking in accessible reproductive endocrinology services.

“We moved here in 1996 when I was offered the job of director of reproductive endocrinology at UTHSC,” says Kutteh. “When we got here, I’d say that our field was around 10 years behind what I’d seen during my prior work in Dallas and Birmingham. There were only two other doctors in our division at the time, Dr. Steven Lincoln, and then Dr. [Raymond] Ke, who I still work with today.”

Bringing Memphis up to speed could have seemed daunting, but Kutteh was unfazed. A go-getting attitude

was a huge part of advancing his career, whether it meant making extra calls to lock down a research lab position at Duke University, or, as a graduate student, offering to drive University of Alabama-Birmingham’s Dr. Max Cooper to the airport just for a couple minutes of facetime with one of America’s leading immunologists.

“The goal was always to improve the fertility care for women in our field,” says Kutteh. “It was about slowly changing how we do things, and recognizing the problems facing the community. There was tension between a few of the hospital systems that wanted their own fertility team, but there weren’t enough patients in the area to support that.”

To address the issue, Kutteh founded Fertility Associates of Memphis in 2003, and continues to run the practice today alongside Drs. Ke, Paul

“After parents and patients receive a [cancer] diagnosis, fertility preservation wouldn’t be the first thing on their mind,” he says. “But after chemotherapy treatment, many of the young female patients wouldn’t be able to have kids with their own eggs when they grew up. So it became a process of thinking how we can convey the importance of this decision to patients under stressful conditions. Because that can have a huge psychological impact down the line.

“Just giving them that decision is so important,” Kutteh continues. “There have been studies that explore how these patients feel, ten years later, when they get married and think about having kids. They draw up psychological profiles of those who were never offered the chance to freeze their eggs, versus those who had the choice but declined. And those who had the choice were able to deal with and move past their infertility on an emotional level, because they made that initial decision themselves. The work we do, for all our patients, is really about giving them that choice of whether they want kids, rather than that choice being taken away.” —

fortunate that the hand has a remarkable tendency to heal itself,” he says. “It’s really one of the best vascularized structures in the human body.”

It’s also one of the most complex, with muscles, tendons, blood vessels, and nerves bundled into narrow wrists and fingers. “I’m a very detail-oriented person,” says Mauck, “and I really enjoy the complexity of hands. In orthopaedic surgery, we often say that millimeters matter, and with hands one millimeter can make a huge difference.”

Although medicine has witnessed dramatic developments in total hip and knee replacement, he notes that similar procedures for his specialty haven’t kept pace. “At Campbell, we’re very good at total shoulder replacement, but elbows and wrists are lagging behind,” he says. “We are making improvements, but they’re just not where they should be by now.”

A hand surgeon at Campbell Clinic and head of the Congenital Hand Clinic at Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital, Dr. Benjamin Mauck knew he wanted to be an orthopaedic specialist when he was a teenager. Growing up in Savannah, Tennessee, he saw doctors help his sister recover from a sports injury. “She had surgery for a torn ACL, and they changed her life for the better,” he says. “I thought to myself, ‘What better way to help people than to become a physician?’”

After graduating from Lambuth College in Jackson, he attended medical school at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center, “purely to become an orthopaedic surgeon, and in particular, a hand surgeon, so I could help patients in a very significant way,” he says. “The hand is how we interact with the outside world, and when your hand

is involved, it affects almost every single thing you do.”

Mauck completed his residency in hand surgery at Campbell Clinic, followed by a fellowship at the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio. He joined the Campbell Clinic staff in 2012.

“It’s never boring,” he says. “This work involves treating sports injuries, trauma, cancer, and soft-tissue defects. It’s a field of orthopaedics that crosses over into other specialties like plastic surgery and neurology.”

At Le Bonheur, he sees children with congenital issues, such as babies born without thumbs. For those tiny patients, with surgery he transforms the index finger into a thumb, with remarkable success. Older patients come to Mauck with carpal tunnel syndrome, arthritis, tendonitis, cysts, fractures, and other problems. “We’re

A key advancement in his field has a simple name: “wideawake surgery.” In the past, surgeons usually performed orthopaedic procedures while the patient was under general anesthesia. “Now, we numb just one area, and the patient is awake, separated only by a screen,” he says. “It’s something we started doing more aggressively here at Campbell. Besides eliminating the risks of a reaction from general anesthesia, it allows me to tell patients exactly what I’m doing and let them know how things are going. There’s a more intimate relationship between the doctor and patient.”

Mauck wants his patients to get the same level of care as members of his own family and expresses concern as a certain national holiday approaches.

“We had a young boy here who was holding a large firecracker in his hand. When it went off, it blew his hand wide open,” he says. “So with the Fourth of July coming up, if I could make a PSA, I would urge all parents: Keep your children away from fireworks.” —

Dr. Arcot has seven board certifications including interventional cardiology, cardiology, venous/ lymphatic disease, vascular and endovascular medicine. He received his cardiovascular training at the University of California/ San Francisco and has trained several practicing cardiologists in peripheral vascular percutaneous intervention. Dr. Arcot was voted most compassionate and favorite physician from 2010-2023 on vitals.com. Memphis Cardiology and Vein Center was voted among the best clinics in The Commercial Appeal from 2014 through 2023. Dr. Arcot treats all types of vascular problems, from the simple to the complex, including varicose veins, DVT, peripheral arterial disease, leg ulcers, and May Thurner’s syndrome. Dr. Arcot and is highly qualified, board-certified medical team offer comprehensive treatment for all vascular conditions including venous and arterial diseases. Varicose veins are abnormal veins that occur in the legs. They can present as thin purple lines (called spider veins) or they can appear as thick, bulging, or knotty veins.

SYMPTOMS OF VARICOSE VEINS:

• Achy, tired, heavy feeling in the area of the varicose veins

• Leg cramps, restless legs at night

• Burning or throbbing pain along the swelling with the legs

• Itching, rashes, bleeding

• Discoloration of the foot

• Discoloration of the legs

• Non-healing ulcers

• History of blood clots

• Pain with menstrual cycle.

While most will think the varicose veins are simply a cosmetic issue, an underlying medical problem causes varicose veins: It’s called venous reflux/venous insufficiency/ venous obstruction. In a normal vein, the valves are to move the blood back to the heart. When a valve malfunctions as it causes the blood to pool in the vein, a disorder known as venous insufficiency/venous reflux/venous obstruction can cause varicose veins. The procedure to fix varicose veins is covered by most insurance companies.

Memphis Vein Center is an outpatient stateof-the-art nationally accredited vascular facility (IAC) and offers all modalities to diagnose and treat varicose veins, including endovenous laser ablation treatment (EVLT), radiofrequency (RF), Varithena, Venaseal, Clairvein as well as ultrasound guided sclerotherapy, and a microsurgical procedure called Phlebectomy. Please visit memphisvein. com for further information about varicose veins including personal testimonials, before-and-after pictures and to schedule a consultation with Memphis Vein Center.

Dr. Michelle Taylor, a pediatrician who has advanced degrees in epidemiology and public health, became director of the Shelby County Health Department in 2021. “She was so well-prepared for this work,” said Yvonne Madlock, the former director who first hired Taylor in 2013, “as a pediatrician, her public health training, her military background, her drive and determination. She knew the work and the community.”

For Michelle Taylor, Public Health Is Personal

How the Shelby County Health Department director’s own history informs her data-driven decisions.

BY DAVID WATERS

Just before the old health department building on Jefferson was demolished in 2021, the new health department director went back to the fifth floor to see her former office one more time. Her favorite map — a gift from a colleague when she got her first job at the health department in 2013 — was still on the wall.

e map depicted Shelby County’s 19 planning districts and 216 Census tracts. A map of the home she’d left and returned to so many times. She took the map to her new office.

“I love this map,” says Dr. Michelle Taylor, whose life and career have taken her all over the maps of the United States and Shelby County. “I love maps. You can explain so much with a map. Sometimes, when I give presentations, all I do is show maps.”

Public health professionals read maps like ancient mariners did. They use maps to chart currents of disease, forecast and monitor exposures and outbreaks, identify vulnerable populations, trace causes, and plan preventions and interventions.

In London in the 1850s, John Snow, the “father of epidemiology,” ended a cholera

Questions still drive Taylor. For example, why are young Black women more than twice as likely to die from breast cancer than other women? Why do Black women have a 40 percent higher death rate from breast cancer? Why is breast cancer more deadly in historically Black and poor Delta counties along the Mississippi River?

in color, they all look the same. But I can look at a map that shows which ZIP codes those babies are from, and pretty well predict how long each baby will live. That’s tragic but it’s also helpful. The map shows us that we can do something about it.”

Taylor, former White Station High homecoming queen, major in the Air National Guard, breast cancer survivor, and divorced mother of two, has a lot of plans to do something about it. She has mapped the city’s biggest public health challenges. Disease. Poverty. Violence. Mental illness. Substandard housing. Malnutrition. Systemic racism. She has charted a course to put public health at the center of that map.

“Most people think of the health department as the place you go to get birth or death certificates, or the place you go to get treated for STDs. Let’s just be real,” Taylor says. “Public health touches every aspect of this community. Public health can’t save Memphis, but Memphis can’t be saved without public health at every table. If people didn’t learn that from Covid, that lesson will be learned again and again.”

Taylor’s life has been mapped out since her parents gave her a toy doctor’s kit when she was 5. She told her mother she wanted to be a nurse. “Yes, baby, you can be a nurse. That’s a worthy profession,” her mother told her. “But have you thought about being a doctor?”

Taylor has been thinking about, and asking questions about, medicine and public health ever since. When she was 9, her 3-year-old cousin, a patient at St. Jude Children’s Medical Center, died of leukemia. “I had all these questions about how and why he was sick, and nobody could really answer all my questions,” Taylor says.

Taylor and her mother, Rita Works, are Air National Guard officers and breast cancer survivors. They help each other train and recover, physically, mentally and spiritually. “I was pregnant with my daughter when my mother was diagnosed,” Taylor says. “I was just boohooing. My mom calmed me down. She’s super sweet but tough. She kept saying, ‘I’m going to be fine. I’m going to get better. I’ve got to hold this baby girl we’re about to have.’”

epidemic by mapping cases of infection and sources of drinking water to find the single polluted well that caused the outbreak.

In Baltimore in January 2020, researchers at Johns Hopkins University began mapping the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, creating a comprehensive data source the world relied on to track and attack the biggest health crisis this century.

Taylor, who received her doctorate in public health from Johns Hopkins’ Bloomberg School of Public Health, and who became Shelby County’s health department director in 2021, during the pandemic, reads a lot of maps.

“I can walk through a hospital nursery and see all the babies lined up in bassinets,” says Taylor, who began her career in health as a pediatrician. “Except for little variations

When she was 11, her military parents moved back to Memphis from California. She spent a lot of time with her extended family. “My granddad was in the Army, a very smart man, an avid reader, but he was addicted to heroin and alcohol,” Taylor says. “I used to ask him questions about his addiction, like I was trying to diagnose him.”

When she was in middle school, her mother’s identical twin sister died of breast cancer at age 34. “I had so many questions,” Taylor says. “I just needed to understand what happened and why. How does a young, healthy woman get so sick and die?”

Questions still drive Taylor. For example, why are young Black women more than twice as likely to die from breast cancer than other women? Why do Black women have a 40 percent higher death rate from breast cancer? Why is breast cancer more deadly in historically Black and poor Delta counties along the Mississippi River?

Racial disparities persist, as Taylor is painfully aware. Breast cancer has plagued her

own family. More than two decades after her mother’s sister died of breast cancer, Taylor’s mother was diagnosed with it in 2011. In 2016, Taylor herself got the bad news from her radiologist husband, Dr. Eddie Taylor.

“He called me at work,” she says. “I stepped out into the hall. He started reading the biopsy results. He just choked up when he got to the part about how invasive it was. I said, ‘Okay. I’m leaving. I’ll meet you at the house, and then we’ll drive out and tell my mother.’ When I got off the phone, I just lost it. I started sobbing. But I knew exactly what I wanted to do. It’s almost as if I had been preparing my whole life for that moment.”

Doctors found two malignant lumps in Taylor’s right breast. She wasn’t taking any chances. Her aunt died when her cancer returned after a lumpectomy, radiation, and chemotherapy. at experience informed Taylor’s mother, who was diagnosed with Stage 0 cancer. “Take it all off,” her mother had told her oncologist. “Double mastectomy with reconstruction,” Taylor told hers.

Surviving breast cancer made Taylor more aware of her own privilege: e speed of her diagnosis. e quality of her care. e personal attention she received from her fellow medical professionals. Her own knowledge and experience. Her ability to take a year’s leave of absence to recover from three surgeries.

“I had a lot of advantages that most women, especially most African-American women, just do not have,” Taylor says. “For me, it crystallized how much more work we had to do. One of my goals is to make sure that every African-American woman, every woman period, has access to that kind of high-quality and timely care, and can be informed and confident enough to advocate for herself.”

e experience also made her more aware than ever of the support system she’s always had around her. “I thank God every day for my family, my village, everyone who was there for me to make sure I got back on my feet as quickly as possible and healed in the most complete way,” Taylor says. “Everyone should have that kind of support system.”

As Taylor has navigated her life, her parents have been her pole stars. Her mother, Rita Works, a retired major general in the Air National Guard, taught her daughter to be confident, disciplined, pragmatic, and persistent. “You might know better than anybody else, but you’re no better than anybody else,” she told her.

Her father, Marvin Morgan, an IT consultant, taught her to be curious, creative, dedicated and giving. “Satisfaction is more important than success,” he told her. “Success is what others judge you by. Satisfaction is what you judge yourself by.”

Rita and Marvin grew up in South Memphis, met as teens working at Woolco on South

Third, were married in DeSoto Park, then moved into the world. Marvin joined the Air Force, and Rita did the same a few years later. They moved from their home base in South Memphis to military bases in North Dakota (where Michelle was born), Alaska (where her brother, Marvin Jr., was born), then California. Both of her parents earned college degrees along the way.

Marvin became Morgan Keegan’s IT director and the company’s first Black executive. Rita became the first Black female officer in her squadron. “When I left Memphis, my world was black and white,” says Works. “I had to go someplace else to understand the dynamics of various ethnicities and worldviews. The military gave us a world view.”

The family brought their world view back to Memphis when Michelle was 11. “It was culture shock for Michelle,” says Works. “It took her a year or two to get acclimated. She had to learn how to take care of herself. I grew up in South Memphis, so I knew. You don’t have to start a fight, but you can try to finish it.”

The lessons paid off. The girl who was bullied in elementary school was elected homecoming queen. “She was well-liked, but she also was highly respected,” says U.S. Attorney Kevin Ritz, one of her classmates. The popular student who fretted about making A’s won scholarships from Stanford and Vanderbilt, among others. The young woman who “bombed” her medical college admission tests went on to earn a medical degree, a master’s degree in epidemiology, a master’s in public administration, and a doctorate in public health.

“She just doesn’t give up,” says her father. “One time when she was in high school, I was working on a hard drive that was giving me fits. It was about 1:30 in the morning and I was tired, so I decided to go at it the next day. I went upstairs and found Michelle still up studying. So I went back and finished the job.”

This is the sixth time Taylor has returned to Memphis. Every time she gets pulled away, something or someone pulls her back. “I have a friend who says the river calls you home,” she says. “I guess it keeps calling me.”

Taylor lived here as a toddler while her mother finished her degree at Memphis State. “We couldn’t afford a babysitter, so I’d take Michelle to class with me,” Works recalls. “She’d sit in the back and learn right along with me.”

Military obligations pulled them away. Family concerns, in particular the poor health of her aunt and grandmother, pulled them back. College pulled her to Washington, D.C. The river pulled her back. After graduating from Howard University in 1997, Taylor spent a year teaching science at Fairley High School, her mother’s alma mater. “I learned so much from those kids,” Taylor says. “You want to talk about the social determinants of health? Just

walk into a classroom.”

Medical school pulled Taylor to East Tennessee State University, where she met her husband. The river pulled her back. She worked here for several years as a pediatrician while earning a master’s in epidemiology at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center.

Public health pulled Taylor to Baltimore and Johns Hopkins in 2009. “Their motto is ‘Protecting Health, Saving Lives – Millions at a Time,’” Taylor says. “You can’t be there and not think you’re saving the world.”

During that time, a Memphis family friend encouraged her to enlist in the Air National Guard. “I just talked to Michelle about all the

“Public health touches every aspect of this community. Public health can’t save Memphis, but Memphis can’t be saved without public health at every table. If people didn’t learn that from Covid, that lesson will be learned again and again.” — Michelle Taylor

good she could do, and what an opportunity it was for her to learn in a different way. She’s a lifelong learner,” says Dr. Jan Young, executive director of the Assisi Foundation in Memphis, and a retired major general in the Air National Guard. Young and Taylor’s mother were members of the same air wing.

In 2013, public health pulled Taylor back to Memphis. Yvonne Madlock, the county’s longtime health department director, hired Taylor to be associate medical director and deputy administrator for maternal and child health. “She was so well-prepared for this work,” Madlock says, “as a pediatrician, her public health training, her military background, her drive and determination. She knew the work and the community.’

Taylor led the department’s successful initiative to reduce infant mortality. Among those she enlisted to help was Dr. Altha Stewart, a local psychiatrist and UTHSC professor who has devoted her career to addressing mental illness in youth. “We soon found out we have a past,” Stewart says. “Her father and

The health department hosted a free, drive-thru pet vaccination clinic in late April, the first since before the pandemic. Taylor’s plans include renovating and expanding the department’s six public health clinics, including this one on Sycamore View. “No matter where you live, you should know you’re getting high quality health service and good customer service,” Taylor said. “We’re still working on that.”

I played together as kids in South Memphis. I’m tremendously proud of what she’s done. Her focus on mental health as a public health issue gives me great hope.”

When Madlock retired in 2015, Taylor applied for her job. “I got no response,” Taylor recalls. “I heard they thought I was too young and inexperienced. But I guess it was a blessing in disguise. I got my cancer diagnosis in January 2016. I still had more growing and learning to do.”

In 2017, higher education pulled Taylor away from Memphis again, this time for a minority health policy fellowship at Harvard University’s Kennedy School. It was a heady experience. “You’re sitting in class with people you know will be running for office and making health policy decisions for the entire country,” Taylor says.

When she completed her master’s in public administration, her fourth advanced degree, her parents, now divorced, told her she had educated herself out of a job in Memphis. Taylor moved to Washington and worked for the surgeon general of the Air National Guard in the nation’s capital. She was living with her children, Malik and Ella, and her mother, near her father and her “bonus mom” (“I don’t do steps”) in Maryland.

In February 2021, a year into the pandemic, Taylor’s former husband and her mother both sent her a link to a news story in Memphis. Shelby County Health Department Director Alicia Haushalter, who succeeded Madlock, had resigned. The river was calling. Taylor loved living near her father. She also loved the idea of her children living again near their father. “My ex-husband and I are still best friends,” Taylor says. She loved her work in Washington. She longed for the work in Memphis. “My desire to be health director in my hometown had not left me,” she says. She applied for the job.

Taylor was one of two finalists, but her appointment hit a political speed bump when a leaked memo said the search panel had not recommended either finalist. Taylor was “very articulate” and “highly credentialed,” but “weak on how she plans on changing the health department,” the memo said. The memo was soon discredited, and the commission unanimously approved her appointment.

The incident gave Taylor her first lesson in how the pandemic has politized public health. A few months later, she got another. In November 2021, the state legislature revoked the health department’s authority to require masks or proof of vaccination. In the weeks after, local cases of Covid-19 skyrocketed. “I got so angry,” Taylor says. “I guess I ruffled some feathers because I actually read. We’re trying to follow the science. How can you pass a public health law that restricts what we can do to protect public health?”

Pandemic politics has caused other prob-

lems. Taylor and her staff have been verbally harassed, spit on, pushed, and threatened. An anti-vaxxer showed up on Taylor’s front porch yelling at her. Twice she left her house with a security detail. As the pandemic and related threats have subsided, new challenges have emerged.

Taylor runs a health department in a majority Black and blue city in a majority White and red state. Politics will continue to be a challenge. She’s frustrated by the legislature’s rejection of billions of federal dollars to expand Medicaid and millions to curb the spread of HIV, by its interference in medical decisions to restrict abortion and care for transgender youth, and by its refusal to address gun access and violence. “In what world does that make sense?” Taylor asks.

In a politicized world. “Oh, my, she’s got her work cut out for her,” says Young. “But, however many people have doubted her ability to navigate the political landmines in that job, they will find out that she’s more than up to the task. She worked in Washington. Politics up there is three-dimensional chess.”

Public health has saved Memphis before.

e city and its citizens suffered waves of deadly cholera, dysentery, smallpox, and yellow fever outbreaks in the nineteenth century. e city’s health director was one of more than 5,000 victims of the yellow fever epidemic of 1878.

e epidemics then finally pushed officials to make public health a priority. ey passed strict new sanitation laws outlawing open privies, regulating animal pens, and installing a revolutionary sewer system. A decade later, they discovered a massive underground aquifer that still supplies fresh and safe drinking water.

“This community wouldn’t have survived without public health,” Taylor says. “It still won’t.”

Taylor’s latest challenge has little to do with politics and everything to do with public health. Last August, the EPA dropped an environmental health bomb on people who live near Sterilization Services in South Memphis.

In a letter to residents near the facility, the EPA announced that the company, in business since the 1970s, was using an EPA-regulated chemical called ethylene oxide, or EtO, to sterilize medical equipment. e letter noted that the chemical’s cancer-causing risk is 30-60 times higher than the EPA previously thought, but added that the facility was following federal regulations.

e letter failed to explain that the EPA had known about EtO’s elevated cancer risk since 2016, that 85 percent of EtO emissions escape the facility through vents, doors, and windows, that EPA regulations don’t account for those “fugitive” emissions, and that the EPA had been planning to strengthen those regulations

since 2019 but had not yet done so.

“Our regulations are not protective enough. The rules are not good enough,” Madeline Beal, EPA’s senior risk communications adviser, told residents at a public meeting last October.

Taylor was not prepared for the fallout. Residents, led by Memphis Community Against Pollution, have demanded that the health department order the company to reduce EtO emissions immediately. Taylor says the health department doesn’t have the authority to do that until EPA’s proposed tighter regulations are in effect, a process that can take up to three years. The company has declined to respond.

“I’ll be honest. Environmental justice was not completely on my agenda when I first got here.” It is now. “Environmental racism is real, but it didn’t develop overnight. It won’t be solved overnight.”

Meanwhile, Taylor is turning to maps to assess and monitor the danger. In March, the department released a series of color-coded maps that “found no evidence” of higher cases of cancer near the facility. Taylor has asked the CDC to conduct a public health assessment of the neighborhood. She also launched a countywide cancer study.

“I’ll be honest,” Taylor says. “Environmental justice was not completely on my agenda when I first got here.” It is now. “I understand the community’s frustration. I’m frustrated. Environmental racism is real, but it didn’t develop overnight. It won’t be solved overnight.”

Racism is one of the social determinants of health, “conditions in the places where people live, learn, work and play that affect a wide range of health and quality-of life-risks and outcomes,” according to the CDC. Taylor believes public health can and should address them all. She lives in a place where birth and death certificates were color-categorized by race at least until 1968. A place where people on average live 20 years longer in some ZIP codes than others. A place where race, income, and other social conditions still determine which babies are more likely to live long, healthy lives.

“All of the social determinants of health are products of what I call the ‘policy determinants of health,’” she says. “There’s a reason there are 26 other major and minor pollution emitters in a particular part of South Memphis. Structural racism exists because laws built and still support those structures. Public policies allowed polluters to locate in that area because that’s where black people lived. You can see it on a map.”

Summer of

If you happen to attend a Memphis Redbirds game at AutoZone Park on a Thursday, you’ll notice the home team dressed head to toe in the uniform of . . . the Memphis Chicks. It’s a weekly promotion, you see, a “Throwback Thursday” nod to the franchise that preceded the Redbirds’ arrival in 1998.

With that in mind, we’re throwing it back to 1979 and one of the most memorable teams in Memphis baseball history. This feature originally ran in the June 25, 2009, issue of our sister publication, the Memphis Flyer. Sadly, Charlie Lea — a star pitcher for the ‘79 Chicks and a primary source for the story — died at the age of 54 in 2011. Another star of that team, Tim Raines, was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2017. — FM

More than four decades ago, stars aligned for the Memphis Chicks in an unforgettable season.

BY FRANK MURTAUGH

above, l to r: Charlie Lea hurled a no-hitter for the Montreal Expos in 1981 and started the 1984 All-Star Game. Tim Wallach was a five-time All-Star and won three Gold Gloves with the Expos. Tim Raines is fifth in baseball history with 808 stolen bases and was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2017.

The uniforms. The first thing you’d notice

if you could rewind four decades to watch a baseball game would be the uniforms. More snug, rarely button-down, and with more colors than belong on a baseball diamond, uniforms vintage 1979 were a product of their times. (When you pray to the baseball gods, be sure and ask them to forgive the Houston Astros.)

Unless your name was George Hendrick (a St. Louis Cardinal in ’79), you wore your pant legs high, stirrups visible from the cheap seats. And there was lots of hair, be it an afro straining the limits of your fitted wool cap, or wings that flared out between your ears and the cap’s edge. Players were smaller in 1979 — for a few reasons — but they made up what they lacked in size with color, character, and tonsorial extravagance.

You would have enjoyed Memphis baseball in 1979. Playing at Tim McCarver Stadium at the Mid-South Fairgrounds, the Bluff City’s home team was in its second season as the Class Double-A affiliate of the Montreal Expos. (Considering the Expos no longer exist — having moved to Washington and become the Nationals in 2005 — the time warp seems that much more jarring.) Playing two levels below the major leagues, the ’79 Chicks assembled a band of future bigleaguers that rivals any team the city has hosted since. And it showed on the field. Managed by Billy Gardner — his one and only season at the helm in Memphis — the Chicks won their division’s first-half championship. ( e Southern League split its season back then, sending first-half and second-half division winners to the playoffs.) Overall, the Chicks finished 20 games over .500 (82-62), a feat Memphis baseball fans have witnessed only six times since. Memphis Redbirds president Dave Chase was a 25-year-old office manager for the Chicks in 1979, his second in professional baseball. And Chase points to that season as a turning point for minor-league baseball. “ at was the beginning of the renaissance for minor-league baseball,” he says. “Big crowds, enthusiasm. at was the high-water mark for the Southern League. Coming out of the Sixties, minor-league baseball was dying. I had been in Savannah the year before, and you saw a fan response in Memphis that you didn’t see there.”

While he wasn’t the biggest star of the club, pitcher Charlie Lea made the ’79 Chicks a home team in ways most minor-league outfits cannot. Raised in the Mid-South (though he was born an Army brat in Orleans, France) Lea was chosen by Montreal in the ninth round of the 1978 draft after starring on the mound for what was then called Memphis State University. Sent straight to Class Double-A — in other words, his hometown Chicks — Lea pitched in 12 games as a pro in 1978, sporting a record of 3-3 with an earned-run average (ERA) of 3.57. (Lea chuckles when he reflects on leap-frogging Class A. “I’m gonna say it was all about talent, but I was a Memphis guy and Avron Fogelman owned the team. I’m sure their thought was, let’s put him in Memphis and see what happens with the crowds. If he holds his own, that’s great.”) Lea would spend the ’79 season at the top of a rotation that included two pitchers — Bill Gullickson and Bryn Smith — who would each pitch more than 350 games in the big leagues.

What struck Lea most about his early years in the minors was the realization that the game he’d loved throughout his youth was now a job. He was given a $9,000 signing bonus and by 1979 was earning around $700 a month. “It was the transition from student-athlete, playing three games on the weekend and one or two in the middle of the week and going to class — hanging out with your friends — to slowly evolving into a professional baseball player,” says Lea. “It

was still fun, but you started to realize that it’s a job, especially the first time you see a player get released. is is serious business, and that hit home. For a ninth-rounder like me, this was a last chance in pro ball.”

Lea relished playing for the Chicks, and felt no rush to get to the big leagues, or even higher in the minors. “I got off to a really good start [in ’79], 6-0 I think. en I was just dreadful over the second half of the year. I was happy to be there, probably too naive. Never did I think I should be sent to Triple-A. I didn’t think I was dominating that league by any means, and it showed in the second half.” Lea finished the season with a record of 8-8 and an ERA of 4.39.

As for pitching in front of his family and friends at Tim McCarver Stadium, Lea acknowledges their presence as a mixed blessing. “When you’re doing well, it’s great pressure,” he says. “When I was just holding my own, it was bad pressure. It was self-inflicted, but you wanted to do well for your home team, and your friends who are at every game. ere’s no anonymity mixed in. I wouldn’t change any of it. at kind of pressure can be a great motivator.”

e Chicks ended the season’s first half with a record of 36-34, tied atop the Southern League’s Western Division with the Montgomery Rebels. Lea chuckles when asked about his recollection of the Chicks’ 2-1 victory in a tiebreaker at Tim McCarver that earned the team a postseason berth. “If we beat them 2-1 at that point of the season, I know I didn’t have anything to do with it!”

Arm injuries forced Lea into early retirement in 1988 after winning 62 major-league games. But for at least two nights, Lea could call himself the greatest pitcher on the planet. On May 10, 1981, in the second game of a doubleheader at Olympic Stadium in Montreal, Lea no-hit the San Francisco Giants. en in 1984, he started and won the All-Star Game for the National League.

If Lea’s presence on the team was hometown hero made good, Tim Wallach’s arrival was that of a prodigy predestined for a larger stage than Tim McCarver Stadium. Having been honored with the 1979 Golden Spikes Award as college baseball’s finest player, Wallach was selected by the Expos with the 10th pick in that June’s draft.

“You’re always anxious to see your number-one pick,” reflects Lea. “He was one of those guys that you came to the ballpark knowing he was playing third base, batting fifth or sixth, sometimes third. At the end of the year, he was gonna have 25 to 30 home runs and 80 to 100 RBIs. Tim was laid back, kept to his business. Typical California guy.”

Fresh off leading Cal State Fullerton to a national championship, Wallach joined the

Chicks and split time at first base and designated hitter with slugger Dave Hostetler (who led the Chicks with 114 runs batted in that summer). A future winner of three Gold Gloves as a third baseman with Montreal, Wallach made the adjustment from aluminum bat to wood with relative ease.

“I enjoyed hitting with wood more than I did with aluminum,” says Wallach. “Transitioning to wood, you had to use your legs a lot more [for power]. You could get away with more using aluminum.” Wallach says the new hitting approach forced him to refine his swing and took him a step closer to the majors. “I never felt like I was a star, or above anyone else,” he says. “I always had to prove myself, and that’s probably why I stayed around a long time. Being a first-round pick, sometimes you can feel like you’re owed something. Never did I have the feeling that it was going to be easy. I felt like I had to work, and I did. My goal was to get to the big leagues, but I always focused on where I was at the time.”

Arriving in June, Wallach had much to do with the Chicks improving their record over the season’s second half. Memphis improved to 46-28 in the second half, only to finish two games behind the Nashville Sounds. Wallach hit .327 over 75 games with the Chicks and slammed 18 dingers in only 257 at bats.

When asked about the likes of Lea or Tim Raines, Wallach is unusually eff usive about his teammates of 30 years ago. “Shoot, I played with all those guys a lot of years,” he says. “ ey were not only tremendous baseball players, but real good people. When I do see some of them over the last 30 years, it’s like old times. ey’re just good people. I made a lot of really good friends during those first two months of playing professional baseball. ey welcomed me, and it could have been difficult. ey had been moving up together, but they treated me like I’d been there forever.”

Among his teammates in 1979, Wallach remembers the versatility of Tony Phillips, a utility player both in the minor leagues and later in the majors, where he played in 2,161 games and was a vital member of two pennant-winners with the Oakland A’s. “He always had energy,” says Wallach. “He could do anything, play anywhere. He understood what he needed to do, and I think that’s why he had so much success in the big leagues. ere are a lot of guys who stick around in the big leagues by not trying to do what they can’t do.”

Wallach went on to play 2,212 games in the major leagues, earning five All-Star appearances. Having spent the bulk of his career a long way from his native California, Wallach owns a pair of records that will never be broken: most games (1,767) and hits (1,694) as a Montreal Expo.

“I made a lot of really good friends during those first two months of playing professional baseball. They welcomed me, and it could have been difficult. They had been moving up together, but they treated me like I’d been there forever.” — Tim Wallach

One player stole the show — quite literally — for Memphis 30 summers ago. Only 19 years old and in his third year of professional baseball, Tim Raines hit .290 for the Chicks, scored 104 runs, and stole 59 bases. Destined for the outfield in the majors, Raines played second base for Memphis and opened the eyes not only of fans throughout the Southern League, but his own teammates. [Now managing the Newark Bears in the Atlantic League, Raines declined to be interviewed for this story.]

“I played with and against some good players in college, but Tim was probably my first experience at seeing someone you absolutely know is destined to be a major-league player,” says Lea. “A lot of guys — myself included — were just humping it every day to improve our craft. But Tim, we knew he was gonna be a big leaguer. He never lifted a weight. ey thought he was gonna be the next Joe Morgan, but it just wasn’t meant to be. He had speed and could cover a lot of ground; he just didn’t have the hands to play second base.”

Raines came along during a golden era for base stealers. Lou Brock retired in 1979 as baseball’s all-time thief, the same year Rickey Henderson debuted with Oakland and began his own race to shatter all of Brock’s records. But Raines was more than just flash and dash.

“ ere are a lot of guys who can steal a base during a part of the game when it’s no big deal,” notes Lea. “But when the game’s on the line, and everybody in the ballpark knows that this is your base stealer, and he’s gonna try and steal second base, Tim could still steal the bases. He learned his craft. He knew when to run, knew counts, studied pitchers.”

Raines actually stole his first two bigleague bases in September 1979 during a brief promotion to Montreal. After a season of Triple-A ball in Denver, he swiped 71 in the strike-shortened 1981 season for the Expos, winning the first of four consecutive National League stolen-base titles. His 808 career steals rank fifth in baseball history. He won the 1986 National League batting title and the next year was named MVP of the All-Star Game. Over 23 years, Raines accumulated 2,605 hits, played in seven All-Star Games, and was a member of two world championship teams with the New York Yankees.

Details can fade from a baseball season three decades gone by, but the stars of the ’79 Chicks share fond memories of the stadium where they played, and the manager for whom they played.

Billy Gardner only managed one season in Memphis before moving on to Denver in 1980 (the Expos’ Triple-A affiliate) and the Minnesota Twins in 1981 (where he’d manage for five seasons). A second-baseman during his playing career (1954-63), Gardner was a quiet baseball educator.

“He was a great guy,” remembers Lea, “oldschool baseball. He was a lifer, a lot of wisdom to inpart. I don’t remember anything he said specifically, very laid back. He had a dry sense of humor. And that was my first relationship with tobacco juice. Everywhere he stood. On the railing, in the corner of the dugout. Fences were just dripping with tobacco juice.”

Adds Wallach, “I was blessed to have him as a manager. He treated everybody the same. He let us play, but taught us how to play to be a big leaguer. His patience is what I took from him. He wasn’t a really vocal guy. But when he spoke, you heard what he had to say and you took it to heart.”

As for Tim McCarver Stadium (last used by the Redbirds in 1999 and torn down in 2005), comparisons with modern ballparks only detract from what at the time was a happy home. e Chicks, it should be noted, averaged 3,490 fans in 1979, second in the Southern League.

“It was a cool ballpark,” says Wallach. “ e fans were right there on top of you. It wasn’t huge, so it was a nice place to hit. People in Memphis loved the Chicks.”

“That ballpark was as good as all of them, better than most,” says Lea. “Back then, it was truly a minor-league experience, very similar to the movie Bull Durham . We played in Savannah, Columbus, Montgomery, Chattanooga, Knoxville … and every one had old stadiums. There was no AutoZone Park to compare them to, so it was okay. Plus, the goal was to get out of the minors, so it was a nice motivator, too.” (Tim McCarver Stadium was expanded before the 1980 season and the team’s attendance increased by 95,000. The attendance figure in 1980 — 322,027 — would not be matched until the Redbirds arrived in 1998.)

THE GUITAR AND A CHANGING NATION

Lea and Wallach acknowledge a difference between the baseball they played in 1979 and what they see today. But there’s no bitterness in their reflections; it’s more of simply then vs. now. “Once you get between the white lines,” reflects Lea, “the game remains the same. All the strategy … that’s pretty pure. e culture outside the white lines has obviously changed, with performance-enhancing drugs.

“ ere was nothing [30 years ago] that could take you above your God-given ability. Nothing you could take that would make you run faster. Nothing you could take that would make warning-track power become home-run power. Nothing I could take in liquid or pill form that would turn my 89 mph fastball into a 94 mph fastball. Once you got to the big leagues, you learned about the availability of amphetamines, but they only helped you get back to your God-given ability if you were sick or hung over.”

Lea points out that the late Seventies and early Eighties were a time of chemical addiction in baseball. Raines himself battled and overcame a cocaine habit early in his big-league career. “But those types of drugs,” notes Lea, “were performance- decreasing drugs.”

Now manager of the Pacific Coast League’s Albuquerque Isotopes (top farm club of the Los Angeles Dodgers), Wallach says the biggest difference he sees is in the number of distractions baseball players have today. “It’s the same game,” he notes, “just played bigger now. e guys I played with, it was the only thing going. We wanted to play baseball. Now, you’ve got video games, all these other distractions out there. When I grew up, if there were two of us or nine of us, we found a way to play baseball. at’s all we talked about: baseball.”

The 1979 Chicks faced the Nashville Sounds (a Cincinnati affiliate) in a best-of-three series for the Western Division championship that September. e Sounds took the opener, 10-2, in Nashville, before Memphis won Game 2 in 10 innings, 4-3, at Tim McCarver Stadium. Rick Ramos pitched all 10 innings of Game 2, a contest won by a walk-off homer from Wallach leading off the 10th. e Sounds took Game 3, 5-2, to advance to the Southern League championship series, where they would beat Columbus. Charlie Lea took the loss in the season finale for Memphis, giving up three runs in two innings on the mound. Over the three playoff games, Raines was a nonfactor, picking up only one hit and scoring two runs.

BY FRANK MURTAUGH

The Memphis Redbirds have provided a quartercentury of memories and moments for Mid-South baseball fans. As the St. Louis Cardinals’ Triple-A affiliate plays its 25th season, here’s a look back at a moment (or two) from every summer. ( Note: The Redbirds did not play in 2020 due to Covid-19 restrictions.)

1998 — On April 16th, Vince Coleman stepped into the batter’s box at Tim McCarver Stadium, the first Redbird to bat in the franchise’s first home game. A player who led the National League in stolen bases six times as a St. Louis Cardinal drew a walk, stole second base (of course), and scored the game’s only run in a 1-0 Memphis win over Colorado Springs. Coleman had sprinted into retirement by June, but the arrival of J.D. Drew (the fifth pick in June’s draft) packed the old Fairgrounds ballpark.

1999 — A 26-year-old second baseman with a delightful name, Stubby Clapp, took the field before each home game with a backflip. The performative tribute to Hall of Famer Ozzie Smith fit perfectly in Cardinals country. As did a 20-year-old flame-throwing lefty named Rick Ankiel, the Baseball America Minor League Player of the Year.

Stubby Clapp won a Pacific Coast League championship with Memphis as a player in 2000, then two more (2017 and 2018) as a manager.

2000 — Clapp helped spark the inaugural season at AutoZone Park and the Redbirds reached the Pacific Coast League playoffs with a record of 83-61. On September 15th, in Game 4 of the finals, a 20-yearold slugger by the name of Albert Pujols sliced a 13th-inning home run just inside the rightfield foul pole to win the franchise’s first PCL title.

2001 — For a franchise long connected to AnheuserBusch, pitcher Bud Smith arrived with the perfect name. Smith went 8-5 for Memphis with a 2.75 ERA before earning his promotion to the parent club. On September 3rd in San Diego (in just his 11th big-league start), Smith tossed a no-hitter. No Cardinal has thrown one since.

2002 — First-baseman Ivan Cruz slammed 35 home runs to lead all of minor-league baseball. Alas, Cruz only hit two dingers in the big leagues (in 41 games).

2003 — Bo Hart played well enough in his first season with Memphis to earn a June promotion. And what he did upon his arrival with St. Louis shattered records: 28 hits in his first 15 major-league games. Hart played a grand total of 88 games in The Show, but for more than two weeks, he hit a baseball like he knew something the rest of the world didn’t.

2004 — Slugger Kevin Witt set a franchise record for home runs in a season (36) that still stands. And a young battery — pitcher Adam Wainwright and catcher Yadier Molina — started their first eight games together. The tandem set a major-league record of 328 starts before Molina retired in 2022.

2005 — Hitting a grand slam is a rarity, and often the highlight of a player’s season. In an otherwise mediocre campaign for the Redbirds, John Rodriguez hit four grand slams in less than four weeks.

2006 — Anthony Reyes pitched well enough for Memphis (6-1, 2.57 ERA) to earn a midseason promotion to St. Louis. He pitched well enough in Game 1 of the World Series against Detroit (8 innings, 4 hits, 2 runs) to help the Cardinals win their 10th championship.

2007 — We’ll call it the Rick Ankiel Renaissance. Eight years after starring as a pitcher for the Redbirds, Ankiel returned as an outfielder and led the club with 32 home runs and 89 RBIs in 102 games. Shohei Ohtani, Ankiel was not. Unforgettable, he remains.

SilverSensations

2008 — On June 5th in Washington, D.C., Mark Worrell (a relief pitcher, mind you) homered in his first big-league at-bat. Remarkably, he was the fifth Redbird to earn a promotion to St. Louis and go deep in his first at-bat. (In 2000, Keith McDonald became only the second player in major-league history to homer in his first two at-bats.) Two more former Redbirds have done it since Worrell.

2009 — Led by the likes of David Freese, Allen Craig, and Jon Jay, the Redbirds swept all six of their playoff games to win the club’s second PCL championship. Freese, Craig, and Jay played big roles in helping St. Louis win the World Series two years later.

2010 — The Redbirds returned to the PCL finals, but lost the series in three straight (all at AutoZone Park) to the Tacoma Rainiers. Lance Lynn won 13 games and led the PCL with 141 strikeouts.

2011 — Nick Stavinoha set a Redbirds record with 109 RBIs. He remains the franchise’s career leader in games played (479), hits (531), and home runs (74).

2012 — Shelby Miller starred for a dreadful Redbirds team (57-87), winning 11 games and establishing a single-season record for the franchise with 160 strikeouts.

2013 — Few Memphis teams have been packed with as many prospects: outfielder Oscar Taveras, second-baseman Kolten Wong, pitchers Carlos Martinez and Michael Wacha. Wacha made the PCL All-Star team then helped the Cardinals to the World Series, earning MVP honors in the National League Championship Series.

2014 — Randal Grichuk, Tommy Pham, and Stephen Piscotty manned the Redbirds’ outfield on their way to each becoming regulars in St. Louis. Tim Cooney set a single-season record for wins by a pitcher (14) that stands to this day.

2015 — Mike Shildt took over as manager and guided the Redbirds to a 73-71 record. Four years later in St. Louis, Shildt became the first former Memphis skipper to earn National League Manager of the Year honors.

2016 — The Redbirds struggled (65-77) but featured the top-ranked prospect in the PCL according to Baseball America. Only 21 years old, Alex Reyes struck out 93 hitters in just 65 innings pitched.

2017 — Clapp returned to the Redbirds as manager and led the club to an astounding record of 91-50 (the most wins by a professional team in Memphis since 1948). The Redbirds went 13-0 in extra innings, beat El Paso for the franchise’s third PCL crown, and Clapp was named Minor League Manager of the Year by Baseball America.

2018 — Dakota Hudson (13-3) earned PCL Pitcher of the Year honors and the Redbirds beat Fresno to win the franchise’s second straight PCL championship. They beat Durham, 14-4, to earn the team’s first Triple-A National Championship.

2019 — Randy Arozarena (.358 batting average) and Adolis Garcia (32 homers, 96 RBIs) starred for a team that fell 21 games below .500 and then nearly made the playoffs with a 30-9 stretch.

2021 — Nolan Gorman hit 14 homers and Juan Yepez slammed 22 (in 92 games) on his way to the Cardinals’ Minor League Player of the Year award. The Redbirds also featured the top-ranked pitching prospect (Matthew Liberatore) in the Cardinals’ system.

2022 — Alec Burleson hit .331 and became the first Redbird to win a league batting title. Pitcher Tommy Parsons tied for the International League lead in wins with 12.

2023 — Outfielder Jordan Walker — the Cardinals’ highest-ranked prospect in nearly a decade — joined the club in late April and hit a home run in his second game for Memphis. Along with shortstop Masyn Winn, Walker gives the Redbirds two of the top 50 prospects in all of baseball.

From steel beams in towering skyscrapers, to tiny silver circuit boards in electronics, to gold rings wrapped around fingers, metal is all around us. We admire it for its strength to withstand time, to power, and to empower. It’s solid, hard, even cold. It seems immovable and permanent, yet under extreme heat, it’s malleable. As metalsmith matt lambert (they/them) says, “It’s such a fluid thing.”

“We can melt it down,” lambert says. ( ey style their name in all-lowercased letters.) “We can evolve it; we can rework it. ere’s an interesting poetry in that. … I really enjoy the metaphor that’s involved in the material of metal that we can, as makers, choose to alter it completely, reconfigure it, or break it down and rebuild it. And that is a reflection of our identities as we evolve as people.”

Despite metal’s innate ability to adhere to a gamut of visions, metalsmithing as a field has historically excluded marginalized communities and identities, leaving many under- or unrepresented and consequently neglecting the richness and nuance that diversity can confer. As recently as 2021, the Metal Museum formalized its commitment to rectifying this gap through internal operations and outward-facing programs and exhibitions — one such effort being its latest juried exhibition, “We Are Here,” highlighting LGBTQIA+ contemporary voices in metal. e exhibition, on display from June 6th to September 10th, includes 40 works of art from 26 queer-identifying metal artists from across the country. From sculpture to jewelry to furniture, the pieces range in their forms and how they incorporate metal. “It feels like it’s a celebration of LGBTQIA+ people,” says one of the artists, Funlola Coker, “but it also feels poignant right now, especially given what’s happening not just in Tennessee but around America and the world, and how queer people are being oppressed. It feels really important to keep showing work like this and talking about it and supporting artists who talk about these issues, because it’s a more nuanced expression of who we are.”

In August of last year, the Metal Museum put out a call to metal artists in the LGBTQIA+ community for the exhibition, for which matt lambert, Al Murray, and Lawrence Matthews served as jurors. Based in North Carolina, Murray operates a small metalworking studio and advocates for Southern queer artists, and Matthews, former program and gallery director at TONE, works in music, photography, painting, and filmmaking, exploring and elevating the Black experience in Memphis. Meanwhile, lambert is working toward their Ph.D. in philosophy in artistic practice in visual, applied, and spatial arts at Konstfack, an arts-focused university in Sweden.

“ e joy of having three very diverse jurors — and one not coming from a jewelry or metals background — is that it opened up a really productive conversation,” lambert says. “We were not afraid to have critical conversations — like, ‘Well, why do you want this? Why do you not want this?’ — to find that common ground. And I think that’s a reflection of what we’re asking for this exhibition: Where and how do we fi nd common ground with something that’s been so politicized (which it shouldn’t be)?”

In fi nding that common ground, the three jurors knew they wanted to be mindful of accessibility, recognizing that marginalized communities already face uneven access to schooling specialized in the craft and even to the materials themselves, as the cost of metal

rises. “Everyone has learned to work with metal in very different ways,” lambert says, “and [we aimed to be] really conscious of that to not create something that is elite.

“I’m not interested in blue-chip gallery ideas,” they continue, “like, ‘Oh, this person is a super known name, so we have to include them,’ or, ‘Oh, you know, this work is going to sell, so we should definitely have it. I’m least interested in making exhibitions in a capitalistic framework. … And it’s very helpful that there’s a collective cause [with co-jurors Murray and Matthews]. en the weight isn’t just on you and it opens healthy debate. Especially having someone who [is not a metal artist by trade] because they weren’t aware of, like, ‘What is good metal work?’ So they’re judging it purely on their own set of criteria, which I can’t speak to.”

Each juror’s unique perspective, lambert adds, allowed them to curate an exhibit that more fully spoke to the intersectional spectrum of what it means to be LGBTQIA+. Not all of the works speak directly to identity politics. “Rather than the typical ‘the work looks like it’s queer,’ I think this show also really highlights that there are people from these backgrounds in all areas,” lambert says. “We’re making space for a lot of types of identity that include queerness, but it’s not just that. [ e artists in the exhibit] place themselves in those spectrums, but for some it was an option to just be themselves, and maybe they don’t want to stress that part of them. Just applying [for the exhibition]

already implies that they see themselves as part of this community.”

As they reflect on their own work, lambert explains, “I am not my nonbinary transness; it is a part of who I am. My experience living in this body can be reflected in the work, or a historian can look at my work and analyze it [through a queer lens], but it is not the totality of who I am.”

Similarly, Funlola Coker, an artist selected for the exhibition and a recipient of one of the three Juror’s Choice Awards, says that her queerness wasn’t at the forefront of her mind when making her pieces featured in the show. “It’s not like I don’t have those things on my mind when I’m making my work,” she says, “but it’s not necessarily what I want to make my work about in this moment.”

At this moment, Coker, who lived in Memphis for over a decade before moving away for grad school in 2020, is interested in her relationship with her hair. e award-winning piece, Shed | Collect, features a tangle of coiled metal accompanied by a sleek steel hairbrush with bristles topped with sea-foam green enamel bulbs. “It’s sort of following my observations, highlighting the beauty of those mundane moments in my life,” she says, “thinking about how I collect my hair, the aesthetics of brushing that I use, sort of making them more surreal and just highlighting the beauty of those moments.”

“ ere are people who expect Black artists to talk about their oppression, or people expect queer artists to talk about their oppression,” she adds. “And then it’s nice to just celebrate who we are, as opposed to focusing solely on just that one dimensionality. So I tried to create some kind of balance for myself and my work. It’s not like I’m specifically talking about the history of Black hair. at’s so broad, but it is there because I can’t escape it.”

Another fundamental element layered into her work, Coker adds, is metal’s connection to her ancestry. Originally from Lagos, Nigeria, she speaks of her Yoruba heritage, how she uses the same materials and techniques as her ancestors when working in metal. Even her fascination with hair connects to her Nigerian heritage, since as a kid she heard stories warning her not to throw her hair away because it could be used for witchcraft. “I don’t really feel comfortable just leaving my hair around,” she says, “so I collect it. I’m sort of cleaning up after myself and making sure that I’m not leaving my hair for anybody else to see or to collect and use as witchcraft.”

Even with this residual superstitious instinct to hide her fallen hair, Coker pushes forward with her hair-centric series, which she has titled “To Grow You Is To Know You.” “It’s so interesting that I keep choosing to be an artist,” she says on a similar note. “Just putting your work on display is always a strange feeling for me.

Like, I just want to make it and then put it somewhere and nobody asks me any questions. But that’s not realistic, and people are interested and want to hear what you have to say. It teaches you a lot about yourself, having to talk about your work.”

Still, the work itself is what drives her. “When I first touched metal and started working with it, I felt really passionate about it, and I wanted to keep doing it,” Coker says. “It’s one of the first materials that I worked with that I felt like I really connected with because it’s challenging. Just fabricating things out of metal is never easy. ere’s a lot of problem-solving involved, so there’s a technical aspect that I enjoy but also almost a spiritual connection with the material.”

Even so, for a few years, that passion dwindled. After graduating from Memphis College of Art with a BFA in sculpture, Coker says, “I kind of lost faith. I wasn’t really connected to the community and it didn’t feel like a space where people were making efforts to talk about being a Black metalsmith. I would go to a conference and be the only one, or be one of three, or one of two. And if nobody’s supporting you in your efforts, to make it more inclusive, you feel like you’re not really wanted in that space.”

In that time, Coker turned to making jewelry out of polymer clay, before shifting into metal jewelry. “But that didn’t feel satisfying enough for me,” she says, “so I decided to go back to school [at the State University of New York in New Paltz]. I got to the point where I was like, ‘If I’m going to see any change, I can’t wait. I need to be a part of it and help.’ I think that’s the moment where I was like, ‘Okay, I think I can do this.’ ere are always ups and downs, but since I’ve made that decision, I’ve met a lot more people who make me feel like the diversity and inclusiveness can actually happen.”

And with metal, Coker says that in her work, “ ere’s an aspect of asserting permanence. In some of my pieces, I’ve actually burned my hair into the surface of the metal, and so there’s a permanent mark that’s never fading. And that’s like asserting my identity into the world.”

And her identity, she wants viewers of her work to know, is more than her queerness, more than her history, more than her heritage. e same holds true with her art, though each aspect of her identity can provide a lens through which to consider her work, yet none of these aspects can be separated from another entirely. “My queer experience that I connect to — not just my sexuality or who I’m dating or my gender expression,” she says, “is also layered into my connection to my interest in my heritage, which is layered into my queerness.”

Both lambert and Coker hope that visitors will recognize each artist’s expression of their identity. “It’s nice to see that people are more interested in highlighting the LGBTQIA+ community, especially in such a nuanced way,” Coker says. “Not just being one dimensional or tokenizing the work.”

“I hope that people don’t take it as a oneoff because it’s Pride [Month] when we’re going to open the show,” lambert adds. So the questions become: How will these ideas carry on after the show? Will it inspire other LGBTQIA+ artists to participate in the metal arts? Will visitors see a part of themselves reflected in the work? Will they leave with a new perspective or awareness? Will they like or dislike the work?

“Ambivalence,” lambert says, “is a thing I think to avoid. If you actually have the energy to so greatly dislike something, to put hate behind it, that also says something about the person saying that, and it’s touching on issues that they haven’t tackled yet or they don’t want to. It’s also raising questions and things for them to think about. That’s the power of the visual arts. It raises those questions and gives people some tools or some grounding to think about when they leave.”

But the visual arts can only go so far, lambert acknowledges, pointing to the need for systemic change within institutions like museums. “These conversations are highly politicized right now,” they say. “Institutions need to be ahead of these waves and need to be talking to communities, so that if the institutions are already enacting these things, when these conversations come up, there are already systems in place.”

For now, lambert says, “I hope the show inspires some people who are in this [LGBTQIA+] community to say that we are here. At the end of the day, we’re also just people who are doing things like everybody else. And so it doesn’t have to be politicized, but we just have lives and we’re humans.”

“We Are Here: LGBTQIA+ Voices in the Contemporary Metals Community” is on display at the Metal Museum from June 6th to September 10th. A reception and artist talk will be held on Sunday, June 4, from 3 to 5 p.m.

Old School Made New

Kevin Keough’s bar blends traditional style with fresh ideas.

BY BRUCE VANWYNGARDEN

maybe adding a Formica bar or modern lighting. I wanted Bar Keough to have some of that feel — non-pretentious, proletariat, and comfortable — not too bougie.”

After working for years with restaurateur Karen Carrier at Automatic Slim’s and e Beauty Shop, Keough set out on his own 10 years ago, opening Cafe Keough on Main Street, in the heart of Downtown.

Like Bar Keough, it occupies an old building and offers a simple menu and eclectic decor.

at philosophy of combining the traditional and eclectic extends to Keough’s take on drinks as well as decor. “I noticed when I went to bars in Ireland that they’d have three beers on tap,” he says, “so that’s the way we do it here: Guin-

Bar Keough’s front door opens onto the sidewalk about 10 feet from the intersection of Peabody and Cooper in Midtown — making it a corner bar in the most literal sense of the phrase. Inside, it’s a welcoming space, with a curved red Formica bar on one side and a fabulous vintage jukebox anchoring the back wall. e overhead lights are from Belgium, funky and colorful, a hip touch that somehow works with the retro furnishings and colorful David Bowie posters on the walls. It’s a space that reflects the man who created it — Kevin Keough.

“I opened Bar Keough in November 2019,” he says, “not exactly perfect timing. I was closed by March.” But after the pandemic passed, the bar reopened and has since become a staple of the neighborhood, anchoring an intersection with three other restaurants — Slider Inn, Bari, and Cafe 1912.

“I started this place because I wanted to own a neighborhood

bar,” Keough says, “but I also wanted to integrate some of the things I like about European bars. When I travel, I’ll go into a place, say in Marseille or wherever, and think, ‘I like this place, I like the feel of it, but why do I like it?’ And lots of times it’s because the bar is in a 200-year-old building and they’ve tried to modernize it some ways through the years,

ness, Negro Modelo, and Stella. I like the local Memphis brewers and we serve their canned beers, but on tap I want people to know what they’re getting. None of this Belgian white, cinnamon, tangerine-rind stuff. You drink one of those and you need a Tums. I want to give the customer a beer they’re familiar with.”

Given his take on fancy

brews, it’s not surprising that Keough has a similarly dim view of “craft cocktails.” When I ask him about his drink menu, he reaches under the bar and pulls out a weathered volume held together with black tape on the spine.

“It’s called Esquire’s Drink Book,” he says. “It was published in 1956, and if you look at these recipes, very few of them have more than three or four ingredients. Here’s the thing: If you’re making a drink where you have too many ingredients — herbs, fruits, and such — it takes too long. e customer gets irritated. So I’ve taken some of these simple old recipes and modified them.”

I check out the drink menu posted in a vintage glass signbox behind the bar. “Tell me about the Ruby Begonia,” I say. “ at’s named after a business that used to be here” Keough says. “I wanted it to be a purple drink, so I used Inverness Gin, which has a little purple color, then I added Grand Marnier, lemon juice, and blue Caracao. It looks like an aquarium.”

“It sounds like something I should try,” I say.

“I’ll be happy to make you one.”

And so he does. And it’s not very long before Keough sets it gently in front of me. It is indeed purple. It’s also non-pretentious, proletariat, and comfortable — not too bougie. And really delicious. You should stop by Memphis’ best corner bar and try one.

Bar Keough is located at 247 South Cooper.

A Dram of Whiskey — and the Old World

Bog & Barley conjures an Irish idyll in East Memphis.

BY SAMUEL X. CICCI

Fans of Irish cuisine: The wait is over. DJ and Jamie Naylor, the proprietors of popular Cooper-Young bar Celtic Crossing, built up Memphians’ anticipation for the opening of Bog & Barley, the Naylors’ new gathering spot in e Regalia shopping center. But the Naylors didn’t simply settle for an elevated take on Celtic Crossing. Instead, the restaurateurs blew away any and all expectations with an interior crafted from imported Irish wares and a menu featuring authentic Irish cuisine with a few modern twists.

For DJ Naylor, this was the chance to do something completely fresh while remaining true to his Irish roots (he hails from Ballina, a town in County Mayo). “From day one, we knew this was always going to be something different,” says Naylor. “Celtic [Crossing] is the local neighborhood pub in Midtown, and it has its own special

place there. Over here, we’re far enough away where we won’t do any harm to that business, and Bog & Barley really fits here. It’s a different demographic, ZIP code, price point, everything.”

The most eye-catching difference is the vast interior (the whole space is more than 7,000 square feet), which was designed by Dublin design firm O Donnell

O Neill Design, and filled with custom millwork from another Dublin-based company, I-Con Windows and Joinery. Meanwhile, Northern Ireland pub furniture manufacturer Derry’s supplied all the furniture for Bog & Barley. “Some folks were certainly skeptical that we could pull this off,” laughs Naylor, “working with people overseas over Zoom and coordinating all this. But we really wanted to build something from scratch.”

Everywhere you look, it’s Irish design and memorabilia. A large, enclosed patio entrance welcomes diners into the restaurant, with several pieces of Irish artwork adorning the walls, including a large mural sourced from an old school building. And the patio fireplace is made with

“turf,” or peat. “ ere’s a phrase in Ireland, ‘Bringing home the turf,’ which means making your home or house here,” says Naylor, “We’re providing a little slice of Ireland, my home, here. People can also go over and touch the turf by the fireplace.”

I sat on the patio to sample the fare. I started with the fish dip, a pile of soft smoked cod — blended with a kick of horseradish and freshened by frisée —that I scooped into fresh, house-made potato chips and downed with gusto. To craft the menu, Naylor brought in Reny Alfonso, who works as director of operations for both Celtic Crossing and now Bog & Barley. Alfonso honed his skills in Florida and New York City, while Memphians may remember his multi-year stint as executive chef at the Peabody’s

Naylor utilized more than 400 pieces of custom millwork imported from Dublin to create Bog & Barley’s 24-foot bar.

and Jose Perez

Chez Philippe. In his eyes, the Bog & Barley experience doubles as both a destination dinner and an approachable afternoon spot. “My big push has been to focus on the quality of the food,” says Alfonso, “and work the line where we take ideas from both an Irish pub and also more of an upscale bistro, and I think we’re doing both things very well.”

According to Naylor and Alfonso, defining ‘Irish cuisine’ can be tricky, thanks to some Americans’ misleading perceptions of Irish food. “I feel like some people visited Ireland 20 years ago and that’s their idea of what to expect,” says Naylor, “but things have changed a lot.”

“People attribute corned beef as something that’s purely Irish, but they don’t even really touch that over there,” adds Alfonso. “In our kitchen, you’ll see more French techniques; you’ll see regional influences that add to a dish, but in a way that respects the essence of the original recipe.” On Bog & Barley’s menu, there will be two distinct themes, the fi rst of which is traditional Irish fare, or the “stuff that we don’t mess with,” says Alfonso. Keeping in the spirit of the restaurant, I knew I had to order the bangers and mash, a traditional dish made popular due to its accessibility. e soft bed of mashed potatoes is blanketed with savory caramelized onion gravy, harking back to indulgent American anksgiving spreads.

e pork sausages are firm, soft, and juicy, a clearly fresh and high quality blend that Alfonso credits to his supplier, Newman Farms.

Meanwhile, the fish and chips have proven to be a big hit, with the restaurant serving an average of 1,000 pounds of cod each week. Alongside my entree, I enjoyed a

pint of Auld Bog, a stout from Memphis brewery Soul & Spirits served exclusively at Bog & Barley. Naylor describes the brew as a lighter alternative to Guinness, and one that goes well with many of their dishes. A cool feature of the tap beers is a “print” behind the bar that can stamp images on the foamy head. It’s beer’s answer to latte art. My pint had the Bog & Barley logo imprinted on the head. I’m not quite sure how the magic works, but it’s a fun embellishment.

Beyond traditional dishes, Alfonso is putting out plenty of his own takes on Irish styles.

e beet-cured salmon (served with hard-boiled eggs, capers, pickled red onion, and olive oil) is one of his favorites, while he also points to the restaurant’s oyster program as a good option for curious diners. Something unexpected that caught my eye was the charred cabbage steak.

“When I fi rst saw that on a menu during my Ireland visit, I thought ‘who wants to order that?’,” Alfonso laughs. “But it ended up being one of the best things I ate. When we make it, it’s very buttery, it gets com-

pressed and we give it that char. I’ll recommend it to anyone.

“A big part of Irish cuisine is using what’s available, what’s seasonal, what’s fresh,” Alfonso goes on. He adds that at a lot of restaurants in Ireland, people generally know where each ingredient comes from, and the quality of ingredients is often higher. And the restaurant is looking to source even more ingredients from Ireland as they refine the menu.

When venturing inside Bog & Barley, marvel at the more than 400 pieces of custom millwork that were assembled in Dublin, deconstructed, shipped to Memphis, and reassembled to create the 24-foot-long bar that stretches throughout the ground floor of the restaurant, illuminated by the gleaming golden hues of small chandeliers. ere are a few private “snugs” that can provide a more intimate dining experience, while a small stage in the center of the ground floor will play host to both live music nights and other entertainment, like comedians.

Upstairs, there are a few more dining tables along with a sep-

arate bar. e memorabilia, the book-lined walls, and the expanse of woodwork stretching up into the rafters all reinforce the scope of this project. Contrasted with the excited chatter of diners and drinkers, the interior almost feels like that of a grand, old-world library.

But instead, consider this a grand archive for whiskey, a topic about which Naylor is very enthusiastic. e upstairs bar is dedicated to whiskey enthusiasts, and Bog & Barley’s expansive program includes hundreds of varieties from around the world, and even a few made here in Memphis. “At this location, we’re focusing on a premium selection of whiskeys, but you’ll actually see less of a focus on Ireland and Scotland,” says Naylor. “We’re in bourbon country, so we have 102 varieties from bourbon country, 23 from Ireland, 29 from Scotland, and then eight from around the world including Japan, France, and Taiwan. We want you to feel like you’re on a bit of a whiskey trip while you’re here.” For those eager to sample a larger selection, Naylor has curated eight signature whiskey fl ights that provide a comprehensive look at the restaurant’s selection.

ere’s much to experience at Bog & Barley, from the food, to the whiskey, to the design. is summer’s trans-Atlantic fl ight costs are steep, and passport processing times are slow. But Memphians can take a short visit to the Emerald Isle without leaving city limits.

Bog & Barley is open for lunch and dinner Monday – Saturday, 11 a.m. – 11 p.m., at 6150 Poplar Ave., Suite 124, in e Regalia shopping center.

The Persistence of Memory — and the Blues

Tattered threads tied Jon Hassell to home throughout his storied life.

BY ALEX GREENE

If “ the biggest small town in America,” Memphis, ever feels provincial to the aspiring artist, just remember that the most extraordinary life forms evolve in backwaters. Case in point: Jon Hassell, the musician who died in 2021 at age 84. ough he left his hometown of Memphis more than 60 years ago, and found global renown in his experimental approach to the trumpet, the subtle threads of childhood, family, and community tied his life’s work to Memphis in ways he often reflected on through the years.

During an interview for the podcast RA Exchange in 2016, he recalled a Black friend of the family taking him to hear Mississippi blues in a shack “made of RC Cola signs nailed together on a wooden frame … [a] proto-juke joint in the outskirts of Memphis someplace. It’s one of the biggest sound experiences I ever had.”

In hindsight, he traced his interest in global music — what Hassell would call “Fourth World” music — to such encounters, “back to the crossing of cultures thing. I thought to myself later, after I left, ‘You never really know your place.’ Even if you grow up in a small town, you don’t really know what it is until you leave and you look back on it again.”

left: Jon Hassell left Memphis for the Eastman School of Music and went on to study under composer Karlheinz Stockhausen. Beyond his own albums, he recorded with the Talking Heads, Peter Gabriel, Tears for Fears, Ani DiFranco, Ry Cooder, and many others.

Now Don sits among his home filing cabinets, their drawers full of news clippings about his little brother. Most of the clippings celebrate the utter originality of Jon Hassell’s soundscapes, which blend his trumpet playing, often electronically processed, with the rhythms and textures of what’s now called world music. Nonetheless, “I’m a classical guy,” smiles Don. “I certainly never questioned him about his music. It was best for me to say nothing.”

With Hassell’s parents and sister having passed away some time ago, his older brother Don is the only one left to honor Jon’s well-lived life. But in saluting his brother’s legacy, he’s tapped into a global network of Jon Hassell enthusiasts. He’s far from alone.

On a phone call from London, Matthew Jones of Warp Records explains how the label came to create a special imprint, Ndeya, to release Hassell’s music. “A lot of people at the label were fans of Jon’s music,” he says. “We were working with Brian Eno on a new release, and he’s produced big rock bands like U2 and Coldplay and Talking Heads, but people also know him for his ambient music. He’s had this big career full of collaborations, and one of the people he collaborated with was Jon Hassell. And a lot of the more contemporary artists on the label are really big fans of Jon’s. Like Oneohtrix Point Never has cited Jon’s work as a big influence.”

“I myself don’t understand Jon’s music,” says his older brother, Don. “I appreciate it, but I don’t understand it to the extent that his fans do.” Still, he remembers what few could know. “He started on our father’s old cornet from the Georgia Tech band. It sat on a bookshelf in the house and Jon picked it up one day.”

This year, two albums’ worth of Jon’s unreleased material came out under the umbrella title of Further Fictions.

Don may not listen to Oneohtrix Point Never, but he appreciates that Brian Eno and Jon were kindred spirits. “He called Eno his brother,” says Don. “And he was, more so than me. You could see that in their interactions and in the liner notes. He met Eno in New York. Jon was playing at e Kitchen, and Eno attended that evening, and said that was just what he was looking for.” anks to his brother having set up the Ndeya imprint with Warp before his death, Don is delighted that Jon’s old and new recordings are seeing the light of day. is year, two albums’ worth of unreleased material came out under the umbrella title of Further Fictions, one half a 1989 live collaboration between Hassell’s band and Eno, the other half a collection of Hassell’s studio tracks, including “Favela.” Writing about the song in the liner notes, Hassell again recalls that juke joint.

“ at’s what this track reminds me of in its raw, outof-tune, uneven-wooden-floor sort of way,” he writes. Trying to imagine what the joint’s patrons would think of the track, Hassell muses, “ ey might be mystified by the strange harmony and trumpet clusters and delays, but something tells me they would know the blues when they hear it.”
