his month marks the conclusion of Memphis magazine’s fortieth anniversary year, which we’ve celebrated every month by re-publishing articles from our four-decade archive. You will note, however, that there is no such feature in this December issue. That’s because this year’s “Memphian of the Year” honoree is something of a human archive himself, an attorney whose quiet work over five decades on behalf of enhancing and improving our urban environment has made him one of this city’s greatest unsung heroes.

SPORTS

Super Powers Twenty years later, a Memphis football hero relishes the Tigers’ biggest upset.

C

hris Powers has been flying FedEx planes for six years now (and before that, with Continental Express). But over the last two decades, he’s yet to duplicate the lift he helped create for a long-suffering fan base at the Liberty Bowl on November 9, 1996. A sophomore tight end for an underwhelming University of Memphis football team that night, Powers caught a touchdown pass from Qadry Anderson with 34 seconds to play to give the Tigers a 21-17 upset of Peyton Manning and the 6th-ranked Tennessee Vols. It was the first time in 16 meetings Memphis had beaten UT and the Tigers haven’t taken down Rocky Top since (0-7). If it’s not the biggest win in Memphis football history, it’s likely the most memorable upset.

The crowd that night — 65,885 — remains the largest in 51 years of football at the Liberty Bowl.

“It seems longer than that,” says a smiling Powers when the 20th anniversary of the upset is mentioned. “It was a lifetime ago.

I’ve stayed pretty involved with the program, from tailgating to radio.”

Powers has made Memphis home since his playing days, living downtown for several years before getting married and moving to Collierville four years ago with his wife, Ashley (also a U of M alum). He enjoyed four years (2009-12) as Dave Woloshin’s partner on Tiger radio broadcasts, but stays busy these days — when not f lying — helping raise his two sons, Harrison (2) and Hayes (ten months).

He acknowledges Ashley might roll her eyes at another mention of his most famous catch, but he looks forward to soon sharing details of the moment — and all the joy that moment helped create — with his boys.

“People who know me like to introduce me as ‘the guy who beat Tennessee,’” says Powers.

“It’s part of my history. And it doesn’t get old because people get such a kick out of it, a positive event that happened to the program. The details, after 20 years, start to fade a little bit, but you remember the big plays. I played four years and

“It’s so different being inside, as part of a team every day,” says Powers. “If we truly believed we had no chance, then what’s the point of practicing?”

The most famous play of the game is not Powers’ catch, but Kevin Cobb’s 95-yard kickoff return to tie the game at 14 midway through the third quarter.

“There’s a pretty cool TV angle, from the end zone Kevin was running toward,” says Powers.

“You can see the wedge set, Kevin disappears, and I’m there in the middle. I blasted a UT guy off

that happened my sophomore year. I could have quit right then and it wouldn’t have mattered.” Powers chuckles when a reporter has to be reminded that he moved to the interior line and started at center his senior season (1998).

There was little reason to believe the Tigers could beat that Tennessee team. They entered the game with a record of 3-6 (UT was 6-1). They’d lost four straight and had scored as many as 20 points exactly once (a 37-20 loss at Houston). But as preached in locker rooms from coast to coast, you have to play the game.

the camera to the left and Kevin cuts right behind me.”

Down 17-14 late in the fourth quarter, the Tigers made it to the Vols’ 3-yard line thanks largely to a 41-yard pass from Anderson to Chancy Carr, followed by a 13yard run up the middle by freshman fullback Jeremy Scruggs.

Next came . . . The Play. “[Freshman receiver] Damien Dodson brought in the play from the sideline,” explains Powers.

“Qadry looked at Damien in the huddle and said, ‘I’ll be looking for you, so be ready.’ I was lined up on the right, and Damien was split outside of me. I was the sec-

ondary [target]. When I released, I saw the safety starting to trail me, so I knew it was man to man.

Damien was getting jammed at the line of scrimmage. When I turned around, the ball was already in the air. It was just react, throw your hands up. It stuck.”

Powers says he caught the back half of the football, an epic play literally inches from being merely an overthrow.

Does Chris Powers miss football today? “I miss the guys,” he says. “I miss the relationships with the guys. You’re in a situation where, like it or not, you’re with your best friends almost all the time, every day. I miss the process of everybody having a goal, and you get the feedback immediately, whether you won or lost.”

Memphis will beat Tennessee on the gridiron again. But Powers likes the fact his 1996 Tiger team will always be the first to beat the Volunteers. “I was part of that team, and played a significant role,” he says. “No matter what happens with Memphis football, that’ll always be the first time [we beat Tennessee].

With Peyton Manning, arguably the best quarterback to ever play the game. On national TV. Put it all together, and it’s one of those days I can look back on and enjoy the role I played. I made a play that helped all my buddies — my teammates — beat Tennessee.”

Cobb’s kickoff return recently aired during a Tiger broadcast, a game Powers watched at home with his family. Little Harrison pointed at the TV screen as he’s learning to recognize the look and sounds of football. Powers grabbed his remote, rewound the play, and paused as that wedge came into focus. He grabbed his firstborn, pointed at the screen himself this time, and shouted, “Look at Daddy!”

Facing the Deadly Lion of Depression by john branston

T

hree years ago my daughter Katy faced down a mountain lion.

She was hiking alone in the mountains of remote western Montana, near where she lived, while her companion went fishing. A careful and experienced hiker, she took her bear spray in her backpack, looked for signs of wildlife, and sang or hollered as she walked. At the top of a ridge she saw a mountain lion on a rock 25 yards away.

She described it in an account she wrote and withheld from me and her mother for weeks until we were safely homeward bound after a visit, knowing we just might take her with us.

“I froze. The cat stood up as soon as it saw me and took a step forward. My immediate instinct was to turn and run, which I did. I had only gone a few steps when I looked back and saw it chasing after me and gaining quickly. The thought f lashed through my mind: if I don’t stop and face this thing

it is going to attack me. I had to show it that I wasn’t scared, even though every part of me was telling me otherwise.

“So I did what I never thought I would have the courage or instinct to do. I turned around, grabbed my bear spray, faced the lion with my arms spread wide and let out a giant roar. The lion stopped in its tracks just ten yards from me. Then we had a stare-down for what seemed like ten minutes but was probably more like 10-15 seconds. Neither of us moved as I looked into its

dark eyes, hoping to intimidate it.

The lion flinched, which reminded me I needed to do something or risk it making the first move.

I again spread my arms as wide as I could and roared at the top of my lungs to seem as big and scary as possible. It worked. The lion turned and ran away, disappearing behind the rocks.”

Surging with adrenaline but still keeping her head, she sprinted, tumbled, and rock-hopped back to her cabin.

Katy truly had the heart of a lion. But this November, at the age of 29, she lost her life to a different kind of lion — the terrible lion of depression. Knowing for many years that it was inside her, she fought it on her own terms, shunning pills and psychotherapy.

She fought it with goodness.

She took jobs working with abused and tormented children,

staying with them at night and wrestling them to the ground when necessary as their guardian at school. She energized an after-school program in ways no one had done before. She took a job with Habitat for Humanity of Flathead Valley in Kalispell, Montana. It had been drawing a handful of visitors a week to volunteer at build sites. She bumped it to 30 a week from near and far, then wrote personal notes of thanks to every one of them.

The lion didn’t go away. She fought it with lionesque feats of endurance. She biked across the country, leading 32 riders in the Bike and Build nonprofit organization safely from Maine to California. She biked in snow and ice at the seasonal openings and closings of Yellowstone and Glacier National Parks, taunting the lion with friends, laughter, and funny costumes. She raced down ski slopes, plunged into icy lakes, dipped in remote hot springs. She taught herself to play guitar and ukulele. She danced. She loved. She cried.

She tried. Oh how she tried.

But this lion is crafty. It waits and watches. It leaves you alone, for weeks, maybe months, then sneaks up on you in the middle of the night, sits on your chest, and whispers in your ear, “you’re a failure, you’re not enough, you let people down.”

The lion is especially active around Thanksgiving and Christmas, when the days are short, the nights long, and everyone is happy and gay except for those who are distraught and can’t bear the thought of going through the motions one more time.

So now the lion is in our home, our hearts, and our heads. And will be for a long, long time. I hope to live as bravely as Katy did. If you don’t stop and face this thing, it is going to attack you.

The Green Giant To attorney Charlie Newman, the word “caseload” literally means an opportunity to create a better world.

O

by jackson baker

n any given day, a lunchtime visitor to the popular Little Tea Shop on Monroe Avenue downtown may notice a bespectacled, somewhat bookish-looking man sitting quietly at a table in the middle of the room, close to the wall on one side of the restaurant.

He will be picking with his fork from a fruit plate, his almost invariable daily choice from the Tea Shop’s menu — “I get this because I don’t have to think about it, and it leaves me free to have what I want at night,” he explains to a recent lunch-mate. And if he happens to be alone, he may be concentrating on a newspaper or some other piece of reading, maybe the latest assignment for the monthly book club he belongs to with a number of other local movers and shakers.

Charlie Newman has been a longtime protector of Overton Park and Shelby Farms Park, and a leader in the Big River Crossing project.

PHOTOGRAPH BY LARRY KUZNIEWSKI

The catch is, this man is rarely alone at lunchtime, thanks to an unassuming but authoritative manner that is quietly magnetic.

This is Charlie Newman, lawyer extraordinaire, not just an inveterate reader of history but a maker of it. He has been a participant in several of the watershed legal moments in Memphis over the last half-century and has long been a fixture at the Tea Shop.

One day in late October, Newman, who had business scheduled for early afternoon, came to the Little Tea Shop just before 11 a.m., before it was technically open for business.

The door was unlocked for him by the establishment’s indefatigable proprietor and hostess, Suhair Lauck, whereupon he took a place at “his” table, the one halfway down, close to the wall — tacitly acknowledged to be reserved for him by management and Tea Shop regulars.

If his schedule is not pressing and he sits there long enough, Newman will be joined by this or that judge, lawyer, or civic figure — the Tea Shop attracts more than its share — and soon enough, the table is teeming with people and conversation.

On this October day, the group around Newman consists of a few other seniors and near-seniors. Newman himself will celebrate his 80th birthday in January, but there is nothing of the dotard in him — or his companions, who this particular day include the distinguished advertising maven John Malmo and prominent attorney Dale Tuttle.

The conversation takes several turns. As might be expected of seasoned sorts who remain active, it spans decades of human ex-

perience, running right up to the moment (including, for example, a detailed explanation

by Newman of the mechanics of his iPhone and how it aggregates personal data).

Some of the talk is vin d’ordinaire. Newman laments that when his wife Kay, an interior decorator, took the couple’s vintage Lexus for an oil change, she was told she needed four new tires, at a price in the neighborhood of $1,000. Newman frowns, the way any practical-minded John Q. Citizen might. “It’s not the price,” he says. “I just don’t necessarily think they need to be replaced.”

The World Series is on, and there is some obligatory chatter on the subject, as there is about another ongoing contest, the presidential race of 2016 between Republican nominee Donald J. Trump and Democrat Hillary Clinton. The finale of that one is only days away. Malmo, who on his approach had been described by Newman as “my typical lunchtime companion,” gives thought to a question about who might be the winner.

“None of us!” Malmo answers, and goes on to express awe at the audacious way Trump had stolen a march on his early GOP rivals: “What we call ‘politically correct’ used to be just what you’d call good manners. Trump doesn’t want to use them.” Oddly enough, that taint of boorishness had worked for him politically and made him seem appealingly unconventional. “It’s not what he’s saying but his way of saying!”

Nodding, Newman cites the vintage “medium-is-the-message” theories of Marshall McLuhan and says, “Trump instinctively understands TV media, the way FDR D E C E M B E R 2 0 1 6 • M E M P H I S M A G A Z I N E . C O M • 25

On October 22nd, in front of a large and eager crowd, Charlie Newman, joined by Mayor Jim Strickland, Congressman Steve Cohen, and Charles McVean, among others, cut the ribbon to officially open the Big River Crossing. It is the culmination of the Main St. to Main St. project, connecting Memphis with West Memphis.

was the first to understand radio.” Then he takes a leap that has the ring of a freshly remembered epiphany: “We all should have understood that the Presidency is more style than substance.”

Making clear that this is not a put-down, Newman applies it to such personal heroes as Roosevelt and JFK, the latter of whom had first awakened his interest in politics with his “glamor” and verve back during what he remembers as the “boring” age of Eisenhower.

The conversation drifts to the decline in numbers and influence of traditional newspapers. “There’s been a radical change in the nature of news media and a decline of sources we had trust in,” he says. “Now, every human being who wants to has his own printing press.”

Something like an hour and a half has passed since the door to the Little Tea Shop was opened early. By now the place is buzzing, and for some time Newman has had to break off from table talk to say his hellos. Just before the lunch group breaks up, someone comes by, puts a hand on his shoulder, and says simply, “A great event Saturday!” The event was the official opening of the longest pedestrian bridge across America’s greatest river.

Newman beams. He has not merely been congratulated. In the midst of his reverie about change, he has been reminded of a weekend celebration, still resonating, that connects his present to his past and points straight ahead, both for him and his community, to the future.

T

he “ Big R i v er Crossing” ceremony of Saturday, October 22 — a hugely ballyhooed affair that drew the major players of Memphis’ political and business community down to the banks of the Mississippi, along with a generous number of excited fellow citizens — to participate in the completion of what was formally known, in the more prosaic lingo of Washington, D.C., as the “Main St. to Main St. Inter-Modal Connector” project.

Fueled both by a $15 million federal TIGER grant (for Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery) that was arranged

by Memphis Congressman Steve Cohen, and by roughly the same amount of private funding, the project involved extensive refurbishing of the old Harahan Bridge that, since 1949, has served only for rail traffic across the river and had become the property of Union Pacific Railroad. A long, unused roadway was converted along the bridge’s length into a recreational pathway for joggers, pedestrians, and bicycles, and was extended on both banks to connect with newly renovated downtown areas of both Memphis and West Memphis, Arkansas.

Hence the name of the project, the brainchild of the visionary trader/investor Charles McVean, who had dreamed it up and evangelized for years to get it done, lining up investors, getting Cohen to work his magic on Capitol Hill, and talking the U.P. executives into reversing a long-held policy against such mixed-use on a railway right-of-way.

Charlie Newman was Charlie McVean’s right-hand man in the progression toward

this goal. Thus it was wholly appropriate that, among the dignitaries and officials who addressed the blue-ribbon audience gathered in the sanctuary of the Church on the River for the morning’s opening ceremony, Newman was charged with the task of presenting the history of the project. He reviewed the stages that led to the Crossing, forecasting the eventual construction of a levee trail on the Arkansas side going all the way to New Orleans.

Lastly, Newman teased the audience with news of a final treat, the “icing on the cake”: a permanent lighting display that, when the sun set that night, after a day of Union Pacific locomotives tooting loud salutes side by side with Memphians traversing back and forth across the bridge by foot and bike, would light up the bridge, and the sky, in glowing technicolor.

So, yes, it had been a great event, and a great day for Charlie Newman — one of many in his long life as one of Memphis’ most productive citizens.

T

he Harahan Bridge project is not Newman’s only current concern on the environmental/recreational front.

Of late, he has been a mainstay of the local “Save the Greensward” effort to preserve an endangered swath of the Overton Park landscape from the wear and tear of automobile parking on the part of Zoo visitors. And his fingerprints can be found on virtually every piece of prized public greenery in Shelby County. Both personally and professionally, he was in on the creation of the Shelby Farms Conservancy, which has secured that vast

piece of parkland in East Memphis from commercial development and has arranged its current transformation into a pastoral/tourist wonderland. Likewise, he was a direct participant in the planning and preparation that led to the creation of The Greenline, that natural trail for joggers, pedestrians, and cyclists that now stretches across Shelby County.

And all of these ventures, important as they are in their own right, are essentially outgrowths of one of his signature legal victories — one that crowned an epic struggle by local environmentalists against governmental planners, and, in the beginning at least, against the unified will of the Memphis business community, as well.

This was the now famous 1971 Supreme Court case, Citizens to Preserve Overton Park v.

Volpe, in which the plaintiffs, represented by Newman, attempted to prevent the extension of Interstate 40 through the heart of Overton Park and its celebrated “old forest.” The case took years to resolve, even after the Court ruled in Newman’s favor, finally ending with what we see around us today: fully developed and eminently satisfactory Interstate legs that loop around the city core on their way to the Mississippi River and to Arkansas. A rump section of the original I-40 plan, aimed like a shovel-point at the park, was aborted just this side of it, renamed as Sam Cooper Boulevard in 1986 (after a local industrialist/ entrepreneur), and now serves as a dandy access route, city-owned and maintained, from eastern Memphis and Shelby County into Midtown.

But even that moment may not loom as large in the log of Memphis history — or that of the world, for that matter — as Newman’s first major baptism of fire in 1968, when, as a youthful associate of the legendary lawyer Lucius Burch, he joined in representing Martin Luther King during the great civil rights

leader’s last legal challenge — for the right to hold a second march on behalf of striking sanitation workers after the first, days earlier, had resulted in violence. Newman’s team prevailed in that effort, but to no avail, as King would be assassinated that very afternoon.

It was a tragedy with enormous implications, but, from that grave moment on, at a time when he was still a young lawyer getting his sea legs, Charlie Newman would be in the forefront of a series of struggles to transform his social environment, and, in the words of the Constitution, “to secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.”

He would not have realized it then, or even thought about things that way, but he was already on his way to becoming a legend.

Charlie Newman was in the forefront of a series of struggles to transform his social environment, and, in the words of the Constitution, “to secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.”

A

ll of that would have been a surprise to the young Charles Newman, the son of a Methodist minister from Mississippi and a 1955 graduate of Memphis Central High School who would go from there to Yale University. As he wrote in response to a follow-up questionnaire sent by the University to its 1959 graduates 50 years later, “It would have been unimaginable to me in June 1959 that I would spend the next half century practicing law in Memphis, or anywhere.”

While at Yale, he explained in that letter,

he “came under the spell of some extraordinary teachers in the philosophy department,” “made a firm decision to get a Ph.D. in philosophy and teach,” and “didn’t waver from that decision for the next 4 years.”

He got a graduate fellowship to go to Germany for the 1959-60 year to study with Kant scholar Gottfried Martin at the University of Bonn. Ironically, it was Herr Professor Martin who, as Newman wrote, advised the over-earnest young American to “not work too hard that year, and to spend as much time as possible checking out the rest of Europe.”

In the course of the resultant free-wheeling Wanderjahr in Europe, Newman’s eyes opened to wider perspectives. “It began to dawn on me that a career in philosophy would be a very lonely path — that the farther down that road I went, the fewer people there would be who would understand what I was doing or care.”

He returned to New Haven, where he entered Yale Law School, having heard that it was “a place that welcomed the mixing of disciplines” and hedged his bets on the future by getting a degree in law, which he thought he would match up with one in philosophy or history.

But the illness of his father caused him to return to Memphis, law degree in hand, where he ended up clerking for a year with federal judge Bailey Brown (a figure he would later have crucial interactions with). The youthful Newman had thought about setting up in Washington, where JFK’s Camelot was in session, but the assassination of the President in November 1963 gave him second thoughts.

He stayed in Memphis, where another star beckoned.

A

s Newman’s half- century report to Yale puts it: “By that time I had formed strong relationships with

lawyers at a Memphis law firm — a firm led by a remarkable, charismatic man who was much involved in progressive causes in the South.” That man was Lucius Burch, a crusader for conservation and civil rights, who, with partners John Porter and Jesse Johnson, formed the firm Burch, Porter & Johnson.

To Newman, the firm’s partners seemed to view law as “a high calling, a kind of priesthood.” He was invited to join and remains there today, a senior partner among 30-odd lawyers still dedicated to the late Burch’s progressive ideals.

Newman did what young lawyers do — the research and grunt work and routine litigations of the law office. He thought that was just fine. It “gave me the opportunity to be thrown at an early age into the deep end

of the pool, and to be involved in matters, which, if I’d joined a typical Washington or New York firm, would have taken me years to experience.”

He recalls a day in 1968 when, as he sat in Burch’s office chatting with the firm’s leading partner, the phone rang. Burch answered it, then turned to Newman and said simply, “Dr. King has hired us.”

King needed legal help to lift a federal court injunction against a proposed second march on behalf of striking Memphis sanitation workers. The injunction had been imposed because violence had broken out during the course of the first march led by King, days earlier.

In his report to Yale, Newman recalled April 3, 1968, when he and several other lawyers from his firm met with King in his room at the Lorraine Motel, a day before the sched-

uled hearing on his motion.

“I sat on his bed, and he sat in a chair inches away. I sensed about him an almost visible and tangible aura of energy, wisdom, and strength, of a sort I’ve not encountered before or since … I viewed Dr. King then, and I view him now, as a singular, possibly irreplaceable person, one of the few who may have changed the course of our history.”

Reminiscing about that circumstance recently in his downtown office adjacent to Court Square, Newman rummages through a drawer and finds a photograph of five people in federal court on April 4th, the hearing date.

The five were two aides to Dr. King, Andrew Young and the Rev. James Lawson; Burch; BPJ attorney Mike Cody; and Newman himself, looking preternaturally young and with the same steady focus in his pale gray eyes that he possesses today.

Entering federal court on April 4, 1968, to address the injunction against Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. are, left to right, King advisors James Lawson and Andrew Young, along with lawyers Lucius Burch, Charlie Newman, and Mike Cody.

“Isn’t that something? We’re going into the courtroom,” Newman says, calling back the moment. “The City’s position in court was that having another march would present too high a risk of civil disorder. They put on witnesses, police and FBI people, who said all hell will break loose if we have a march. And we put on our witnesses, including Jim Lawson and Andrew Young. At the end of the day, mid or late afternoon, Judge [Bailey] Brown said, “I’ll lift the injunction. Come back in the morning, and we’ll do the paperwork on it.”

“We walked back down Main Street to this office, and we heard sirens. And we were told Dr. King had been shot,” says Newman.

Afterward, he realized he was in The Movement to stay: “Yeah, I didn’t play any heroic or major role, but I tried to join every effort there was, and there were a lot of them.”

As has been the case ever since.

H

ard on the heels of his immersion in civil rights came another challenge — one that set him on the way to being the environmentalist soldier that he remains today.

Newman got a call in late 1969 from a college friend, now a member of a prominent law firm in Washington. “He had a partner who had been approached by a little group in Memphis of mainly women,” he says, “who wanted to stop this expressway, and the court up there had sent the case to Memphis, and he needed a Memphis lawyer to join with him in that case.”

The case was the aforementioned Citizens v. Volpe, the famous battle over the future of Overton Park — one that pitted city business interests, the local media establishment, and governmental entities against a group of ad hoc neighborhood activists, precursors of today’s environmentalist movement, who at the time were the proverbial voices in the natural wilderness, crying out against pellmell development.

The decade-long battle would depend utterly upon the legal and personal perseverance of Charlie Newman. “We went to court, and we thought, frankly, that we would be lucky if we could get the design [modified]; we didn’t have any way of knowing whether we had a good case or not.

“Well, we came before Judge Brown, the same Judge Brown, and he dismissed us, and it was understandable. At that time, the main law we had was something called the Parkland Statute, which simply said that you can’t use federal money to build a highway through a park or natural area unless there is no feasible improvement alternative to use the park, and if there’s no feasible improvement alternative to use the park then you’ve got to use all possible planning to minimize harm.”

Newman and his associates kept appealing until the case, in 1971, got to the U.S. Supreme Court, where “the Court, to our gratitude and surprise, read those simple words, read a lot into those words. The majority said, ‘feasible’ means you can’t reject an alternative route unless it’s just impossible, a matter of engineering, as in: you’ve got a mountain on one side and an ocean on the other.’”

As Newman notes, “That Supreme Court decision, while it was good and it was a landmark decision and had to do with administrative law, was just the beginning. It was another 10 or 12 years before we finally were able to get the federal highway withdrawn.”

During that time Newman et al. were involved in negotiations with “five different Secretaries of Transportation,” in an effort to get the government to accept a different routing as feasible. The government kept coming up with questionable alternatives, sure to be rejected, like one that intersected St. Peter’s Orphanage, a Jewish retirement home, and even the private residence of Judge Bailey Brown, the presiding local jurist.

And the two opposing bureaucracies — the state Department of Transportation and the Federal Highway Administration — had

no lack of allies. “The City of Memphis business and political establishments trusted them and assumed that they would do the job right, and that they had everybody’s best interests in mind.”

The local media were ill-disposed, as well.

“My clients were subject to vicious vilification. You’d see all these political cartoons here. The Commercial Appeal, for one, had an absolute freeze on us. We’d actually be shut off editorially and also in news coverage.”

It was a war of attrition. But the time would come when the other side would cry uncle. Make that Uncle Sam. As Newman says, “From day one, the City had the right to exchange this highway for the amount of money that it would cost to build it, and by the time we got the continuance in, the cost of building, what they kept doing was proposing ever-deeper, more expensive tunnels, initially trenches and then they would cover the trenches and make it a tunnel.

“So it was going to cost $320 million, and we kept saying to the City, the business establishment, and the Chamber of Com-

“When you have an expressway, it makes it easier to live way out and work in town. Gradually, that sucks strength from the central core, and Downtown would have died.” merce, ‘This is too good to turn down; you’re getting $320 million! All you’ve got to do is abandon this venture and take the money, and you can spend it on any transportation purpose you want to!’”

Eventually that argument would win the day, and the forces of the establishment threw in the towel. The northern loop of circumambient I-240 was refurbished and converted into I-40, and things worked out for the best in all ways, Newman thinks.

“Those kinds of highways in the center of cities suck strength from midtowns and downtowns. The idea back then was that downtown needed such a highway and it would pump blood into downtown. I think precisely the opposite would have been true … because when you have an expressway, it makes it easier to live way out and work in town. Gradually, that does sucks strength from the center and Downtown would have died.

“I think one of the reasons that Downtown has had this amazing renaissance is that it is now so convenient to live in Midtown and Downtown.” contin u ed on page 39

he I-40/Overton Park battle altered the map of Memphis, and it put Newman on the map as a regional legal expert in environmental matters. There would follow numerous segue cases — construction of the Greenline, for example, which required complicated and protracted legal negotiations with railroads — and Newman’s work in facilitating the Shelby Farms Conservancy, a mission he regards as incomplete so long as plans remain afoot (shades of the I-40 case!) to build and route a super-parkway through this sprawling East Memphis property that used to be a penal farm and is now yet another parkland wonder for Shelby County.

Newman’s career has helped Memphis define its intellectual and geographical landscapes.

In another sphere, Newman has also become a champion litigator in First Amendment cases — like one, Wilson vs.

Scripps-Howard, in which a Mississippi cattle farmer sought damages from Channel 5 for its characterization of his starved-looking livestock. Newman increasingly thinks that case, which set an important legal precedent, may have been his most important yet. “We got the Court of Appeals to hold for the first time that, when a private plaintiff sues for defamation, he has the burden of proving that what was said about him was false,” he says.

The man whose legal career has helped define both the intellectual and geographical landscapes of his community lives with his wife Kay in a modestly elegant house on a tree-shrouded lot in East Memphis. It is a comfortable-looking, well-kept abode with period furniture inside, along with mounted original paintings by celebrated local artists like Burton Callicott. There is a handsomely glassed-in back porch, ideal for conversations with friends. Outside the main house is a modest mini-Versailles of inviting green areas and sculpted garden spaces. In the back is a studio where Kay Newman works on her interior decorating projects.

All in all, it is the kind of place you would expect to find inhabited by a practitioner of

im and Karen Avery built their French-inspired stucco home in an upscale neighborhood in Cordova 19 years ago. They happily raised their three daughters there, but once the girls were “out the door” with families of their own, Karen decided it was time for a change. Since her taste was always somewhat traditional, she sought help in creating a new look for her interior décor.

Then, by great good fortune, Avery and Rachel Gray met each other, clicked immediately, and developed what was to become a beautiful working relationship.

Gray is the owner of Rachel Gray Interior Design and Consulting, located on South Main, and is well known for her versatile and unique modern designs, into which she injects proper lighting and scale, amazing artworks, antiques, and special “found” objects. Her style is eclectic but is always reflective of her clients’ wishes.

Gray pays careful attention to fabrics, furniture layout, and color, and is influenced by the work of fashion designers, as well as by

interior design professionals. Most years, she travels to the Penland School of Crafts in North Carolina to study. She loves woodworking and has designed tables and other furniture pieces, and her artistic talents include wire weaving. I’ve read that her guiding principles are “authenticity, functionality, longevity — all with a healthy dose of adventure,” along with, from what I have observed, a dash of drama!

Karen Avery says she really loves Gray’s decorative “eye,” and the designer was only too happy to help her new client begin a new decorative chapter. What started as a project to recover one bench soon evolved into redecoration of the en-

tire house. Avery is quick, though, to say that Gray never pushed her, and they took their time with “baby steps” along the way.

For the most part, the colors Gray has used are neutrals, although she introduces pops of color and texture whenever she can. Her mission was, in a sense, to “clean up lines and replace more ornate pieces with simpler ones.” Gray believes that, in general, “good designers place pieces that move your eye through the room.” Avery and Gray both love the work of local artist Jeri Ledbetter, and now a total of five of her paintings hang on the walls of the home — all bought through Linda Ross at the L Ross Gallery.

In the living room, Gray designed the custom-made sofa and chose to keep the antique chest, and, of course, the piano was non-negotiable (Avery plays). In the dining room, there is a wooden sculpture that belonged to Gray, but Avery lobbied to acquire it — and she finally won. (As Gray says, “the client always wins.”) It took a year to find just the right dining table, which was made in Mexico and is a non-traditional oval — a shape which Gray likes to use “to soften edges.” The Art Deco sideboard is a new piece.

In the downstairs cozy, lightfilled master bedroom, there are two paintings by the late Richard Knowles, a local favorite of both Avery and Gray. The furnishings also include a custom headboard, a cut-velvet covered bench, blackout linen drapes, and of course a fluff y rug for Higgins, the family’s energetic little dachshund, to roll around on. Bedside tables do not have to match, according to Gray, and in this room one of those tables is an antique chest. The pillow is an English textile of blue and white

The kitchen/keeping room area has a travertine stone floor.

Gray says “she plays around with ceiling colors” to add warmth, especially in large rooms, and used functional gray by Sherwin Williams on the kitchen ceiling. The mohair sofa in the keeping room area is custom, and the coffee table is one of the few pieces that the homeowner had previously that were kept.

There are also two Jeri Ledbetters in the room. Avery decided she was “tired of drapes,” and solar shades were used for the keeping room to give it a cleaner look. There is a somewhat more utilitarian wing downstairs that we did not photograph, which contains the laundry room, office, and poolroom, with a stone floor that Avery says her eight “dripping wet” grandchildren cannot hurt.

As is often the case, designer and client have become very good friends; it was a pleasure to take the time to chat with

them over a glass of wine when our work was done. Karen told us that her husband, Jim, has a dental practice (Avery, Meadows, Patel and Page), and that, in his younger days, he was an offensive lineman for the Vanderbilt University football team.

In terms of décor, Jim Avery was always a traditionalist; however, according to his wife, “he came around” and loves the new look of his home’s interior.

The multitalented Gray explained she is a busy mother of two living in Midtown and that she loves to cook. She told me that her downtown office space once belonged to movie-maker Craig Brewer, so clearly there must be scads of artistic karma in those walls. One of her favorite quotations is from French writer Emile Zola. It goes like this: “If you ask me what I came to do in this world, I, an artist, will answer you: I am here to live out loud.”

Words to live by and a fitting endnote to our visit to the beautiful Avery home!

Readers will surely remember our “Great Homes” story on Mary Helen McCoy’s gorgeous house in this magazine’s April 2014 issue. The latest exciting news is that her beautiful home is featured in an elegant new coffee-table book by mother/ daughter authors Patricia and Katharine McMillan entitled Christmas at Designers’ Homes Across America (published by Schiffer Publishing Ltd.).

The book contains more than 300 photographs of dazzling holiday visions that 22 leading designers have realized in their own homes. The section on McCoy’s Memphis home is a sophisticated standout, which is no surprise considering she owns Mary Helen McCoy Fine Antiques and Interior Design and specializes in French antiques of the 17th, 18th, and early 19th centuries.

Roses, not poinsettias, are McCoy’s flowers of choice for holiday decorations that complement her amazing antiques. In addition, what makes her holiday décor so especially splendid are the gorgeous antique crystal, silver, and porcelain containers that hold her arrangements.

A traditionalist at heart, McCoy always has a magnificent tree at Christmas, resplendent with her very special ornament collection, and she fills her home with fragrant seasonal greenery, berries, and pine cones. And of course there are always Greek pastries baking in the oven to give as presents to family and friends.

hrough decades of working with metal as a blacksmith, fabricator, artist-in-residence, and instructor, Kansas-born sculptor Hoss Haley has honed his skills — enough to have been named 2016 Master Metalsmith, a distinction given by the Metal Museum in Memphis. But perhaps one of the most important lessons he’s learned: Sometimes you must unlearn.

In a video viewable at the Master Metalsmith: Hoss Haley exhibition currently showing at the Metal Museum, Haley compares the artists’ ideal process to children stacking blocks — as they’re building a tower, kids don’t question how high it’ll go: “That’s not on their mind; they’re just responding. And I think we learn our way out of that, and we learn that everything we do has to be with certain intention,” he says. “The goal is to kind of get back to that and say . . . ‘Now I need to get out of the way and let it do what it’s going to do.’ I think there’s a lot [to be said] about just getting out of your own way.”

On an early November Friday, as Haley drives from his North Carolina home near the Penland School of Crafts to Charlotte to prepare for the dedication of his recently installed public art piece at the Charlotte Douglas International Airport, we further the conversation about the importance of artists — and people, in general — rediscovering some of that childlike freedom and wonder, the ability to create without judgment. “Unfortunately, in the process of learning skills we also learn judgment, and we decide ‘this is good and this isn’t.’ You only have to see the work of a child who has none of that to realize how important it is.”

And that voice is still there, in all of us, “but we’ve suppressed it for various reasons,” says Haley. “I feel like I’ve spent the past several years trying to pay more attention to that voice and not override it by intellect.”

Learning skills, techniques, and history is crucial — “all of that is important,” he says, “but what it really comes down to is an ability to finally learn how to edit and know

when to let go.” This “letting go” can be seen in pieces from Haley’s “White Series” (a selection from this series is currently on view at the Metal Museum), where the artist ultimately had to yield to the materials used — to the way the repurposed metal bent and formed under the weight of his hydraulic press and tools — which led him on a path of discovery.

Learning and Unlearning

B

orn in 1961 in rural Kansas, Haley grew up on a family farm. The type of kid who liked to take clocks and radios apart to see the inner workings, he says, “I was messing around with things I probably shouldn’t have — electricity and stuff — when I was quite young.” While his parents may have had their worries, they certainly didn’t discourage his curiosity. “Luckily I didn’t burn the barn down,” he laughs, remembering the experimentation he’d do in the hay barn, taking things apart, reconfiguring them, and plugging them in.

As for making things, he recalls first learning how to craft things out of wood with a hammer and saw, but found woodworking to be limiting and “a little frustrating.” His father had a shop on the farm, complete with welding equipment, and as young as 6 or 7 years old, Haley would strap on a welding helmet and watch his father work. “As soon as I could get my hands on that and actually weld, by the time I was maybe 12, I was off and running,” he says.

“First I learned to drill a hole so I could drill holes in metal and bolt things together, and that was much more satisfying.”

Starting around junior high, Haley was constantly creating: small crafts made welding nails and bits of metal together, windmills, figures of guys on motorcycles or horses. But many of his early pieces were “just contraptions,” he says. “I remember I made a sled that could be pulled behind a pickup truck in the wintertime. We didn’t have any hills in Kansas, so it was a big thing to just get an old car hood and tie it behind a pickup truck and drive that around out in the pasture. So, of course,

I had to build my own version of that. This was probably high school, but we would pull each other around at high speeds; there may have been some broken bones.”

Car hoods, which were a small stepping stone in his metalworking as a teen, became a source of learning and inspiration for more recent work, Wads, a collection of crumpled, paper-like, metal balls that can be seen in his “White Series.” As shown in the exhibit’s accompanying video, Haley scavenged scrap metal from junkyard cars, pulling off gas caps from old Mercedes and Fords for color samples. The hoods of those that fit into the gradated color scheme were removed and formed, with a custom-built (by the artist) hydraulic press and various tools, into “wads,” an atypical approach to metalsmithing art.

While the scrap yard had been a source of raw material and inspiration for Haley for decades, he’d typically make the trek with a specific part or a particular type of metal in mind for a project. He noticed he’d begun stepping over and pushing through more throwaway materials than what he

considered quality, usable parts. Gone were the leftovers of 1990s industrial manufacturing and the structural steel of the 2000s building boom. Much of what Haley began seeing was discarded appliances. In an artist statement regarding the “White Series,” Haley says, “I’ve learned that materials that I might initially deem undesirable can actually be worth trying, so I occasionally pick up something to test in the studio. Once in a while, something has unexpected potential and can influence what I make as well as how I make it.” This unlikely material led to a breakthrough and an initially unintentional artistic response to his junkyard finds.

Haley developed a quick process for stripping the skins off washers and dryers and began experimenting with them in his

press. The natural movement of the white metal shaped the pieces, both literally and conceptually. From his artist statement: “I liked the way the metal crumpled under the pressure of the press; it reminded me of paper. I started thinking about how we tend to buy things with little thought of the future. We can buy appliances and electronics so cheaply that when they break, we toss them and go get new ones. It is like writing on a piece of paper, changing your mind, wadding it up, tossing it away, and starting again.” This became the vision of Wads.

He continued making more of the round, rumpled forms, letting them collect in his studio “the way crumpled paper collects around a trash bin or the washing machines were collecting in the scrap yard,” he adds.

“The final composition, Cycle, became a way to exaggerate the idea of ‘tossing away’ and to demonstrate the precariousness of this act. In the end there was a satisfying moment in the process when the castoffs became commentary.”

Other pieces in the “White Series” — including Glacier and Tessellation No. 1 — also speak to the disposable, material nature of today’s society. Glacier, a cluster of distorted, white appliance skins, mimics the appear-

aving grown up tinkering in his father’s shop, spending time racing motocross, learning machining and fabrication at an early age, and studying blacksmithing for many years in Texas and New Mexico, Haley developed a connection to machines. That relationship between the artist and the process’ moving parts, he says, becomes part of an abstract conversation.

Sometimes the art will give its own instructions. “Metal has characteristics; thick metal behaves differently than thin metal,” says Haley. “It’s the sound it makes, the way it yields to the tools; and it’s all very distinct to that particular metal whether it’s aluminum or bronze or steel or stainless steel, so it’s bringing its own history and behavior to the table. It’s my job, I think, to understand that as well as I can.”

As a result of this attempt at understanding, Haley must sometimes adjust his process. An example was the experimentation with scrapped washing machines.

“As a metalworker and a craftsman, the thing a person would try to do would be to control the metal in such a way that it doesn’t wrinkle. But in this case, I found myself needing to step back and allow that to happen. There’s a surface tension that’s made more obvious by all those wrinkles and that’s all just discovery,” he says. “The only way for me to get that is to step back enough and allow the material to have its own voice, and that’s where it really does feel like a conversation because I’m not fully in control.”

Tools work similarly. Each has its own characteristics and capabilities, which can often be limiting. So Haley makes or modifies many of his tools, a habit he picked up as a boy. At a young age, he says, “I played a lot with Tinker Toys, but I was never satisfied with using them in their applied state.

Invariably, I’d end up cutting parts and glueing parts; I always had a need to take it a bit further, and I’ve carried that through.”

Haley compares this need to make or modify his own tools to a musician who’s made his own guitar. In doing so, the musician will develop a deeper relationship with his instrument. “Maybe there’s a

tone you’re after that you can’t get from a guitar off the shelf,” he says. When working with metal, it can be a certain shape the artist is after, one that hasn’t previously existed in the world or one for which the proper tools have not been developed to create. Or it can be an answer to more practical problems.

For the enormous, 40-foot tall, 40,000-pound sculpture installed in the plaza of the Charlotte Douglas International Airport, a Cor-ten steel piece titled Old Growth that was designed with overlapping, stacked-block branches to evoke the presence of a tree, Haley built a welding machine to simplify the crafting process, which required 1,500 feet of weld.

He found that to do the welding with conventional tools was going to take more time than he had allowed.

“We ended up building a machine that was adapted from another machine that did cutting,” he says. “We were able to get such a nice result that we didn’t have to do any grinding, and it became the difference between making money on that project and losing money.

“There’s this kind of constant adaptation,” Haley says. “If I’m not making the tools from scratch, it’s modifying something to work a little differently, and that becomes part of the conversation as well.”

In addition to deciphering the language of the materials and tools he uses, Haley has had to find his own voice. After apprenticing as a blacksmith for several years, he had to change directions. “The thing about an apprenticeship is you learn to be that other person’s hand,” he says.

“And after that amount of time, I struggled with my own identity as a maker, what my voice was.” Ultimately, Haley turned his focus to sculpture, toward fabrication and away from forging.

For works like the Drawing Machine, a device equipped with linear actuators controlled by sensors or computer commands that affect the path of a stylus, Haley incorporated more modern technologies.

The machine produces generated drawings — on paper or painted metal surfaces — reminiscent of the geometric designs created by the children’s toy, the Spirograph.

(An example of this can be seen in Long Pi, currently on view in the Metal Museum gallery.) While Haley claims to have a bit of a love/hate relationship with technology and is leery of it “having too strong a voice,” he says, he tries to “work with it in a way where I’m sort of pushing its boundaries.

“It’s just a way of trying to avoid that complacency of working solely within what the available technology offers. When you experiment there’s always discovery.”

longside a full-time art career, Haley has held more than 30 positions as artist-in-residence, keynote speaker, instructor, and presenter at universities, symposiums, and conferences across the country. Teaching and residencies is what brought him to North Carolina. He, his wife, and 9-year-old son lived in Asheville before a recent move closer to Penland, where his wife — an artist, designer, and educator — is director of programs.

A master of creating two- and three-dimensional works in steel, concrete, and bronze, Haley has been commissioned to create several large public art pieces, including installations for the Pack Square Conservancy (Asheville), Valdosta State University (Valdosta, Georgia), Charlotte Area Transit System, South Corridor Light Rail (Charlotte, North Carolina), Sam Houston State University (Huntsville, Texas), and elsewhere. Ideally, that type of work “feeds work that’s more personal, more for my own motivation and exploration,” says Haley.

“To make a living as a sculptor, there’s a bit of compromise,” he says, noting that he makes some functional work — tables he’s designed — for a company in Asheville. “I do a little of that to keep the bills paid and to buy myself time to experiment and to make new work.”

Since Haley, in recent years, has moved away from more traditional metalworking, it came as a bit of a surprise to him to be given the Metal Museum’s distinction of Master Metalsmith. According to the Museum, the Master Metalsmith series began in 1984 as a way to honor the most influential artists of the day and has brought more than 30 internationally acclaimed metalsmiths to Memphis for solo exhibitions.

Selection is based on suggestions made by a committee of metalsmiths during the Museum’s repair days, with an aim to highlight a person who’s making strides in the field. Many of those given the title have created more functional or decorative work, showcasing different skillsets, leaning more on the side of casting and forging.

“It probably offends some people who think it’s sort of blasphemous to not get things hot and hit them with a hammer,” Haley says. “I love forging, but my practice has taken me somewhere else. It was double the honor that I was being recognized, thinking that I probably moved too far away from my roots.”

While the “White Series” specifically, with its use of recycled washers and dryers, may have moved further away from traditional metalsmithing, other works in contin u ed on page 7 6

Dr. Roger Craddock Top Periodontist

Dr. Mitchel Godat Top Periodontist

ON A MISSION W

ith oral health so closely linked to overall health, Dr. Roger Craddock and Dr. Mitchel Godat of Periodontal Associates of Memphis are strong advocates of dental care. This belief drives their work with the Mid-South Mission of Mercy (MidMOM) free dental clinic.

Serving as executive director of the 2016 MidMOM last February, Dr. Godat saw firsthand the positive impact the two-day event had on both the participants and providers.

More than 2,100 people received free dental care, including cleanings, fillings and extractions. Many of the patients were from working families who could not afford dental insurance.

Drs. Craddock and Godat, along with many of their office support team, will participate in the 2017 event. Open to both children and adults, the second annual MidMOM will be held February 10-11 at Bellevue Baptist Church in Cordova, TN. The goal of the clinic is to treat 2,500 patients and provide more than $1,500,000 in free dental care.

All services are provided free of charge by a host of volunteer dentists, hygienists, assistants, physicians, nurses, pharmacists and other support team members.

MEMPHIS AND MEMPHIS AREA general practice dentists, among the top dentists in the known universe, very adequately perform most of the root canal procedures in the Memphis area.

Dr. Shoemaker is honored, thankful and grateful to complement their efforts in treating their more complicated endodontic and endodontic surgical cases. In 40 plus years of practice we have assisted over 600 dentists in the Memphis Area and across the country. Dr. Shoemaker has performed more endodontic procedures than any dental practitioner in the history of the Memphis, Mid-South area.

O’FARRELL SHOEMAKER, D.D.S., P.A. Patient Centered Endodontic, Root Canal Therapy

PATIENTS — Patients expect and deserve technical excellence and gentle, timely and compassionate care. Peaceful resolution of the physical, emotional and economic concerns of our patient is our mission. The patient is the reason our practice exists. We have invested many years of education, experience, effort and resources to exceed your and our expectations.

Dr. Shoemaker and staff are thankful and grateful that you, the patient, allow us to practice our skills, adding meaning and purpose to our professional lives.

DR. SHOEMAKER’S PROFESSIONAL PROFILE — General dentistry degree, University of Tennessee School of Dentistry 1972- Member of the American Dental Association, Lifetime Member of the Tennessee Dental Association and Member of the Memphis Dental Society.

Captain Shoemaker served as the Endodontic director at Redstone Arsenal, completing the U.S. Army’s miniresidency in Endodontics (1972-1974). This miniresidency did not meet board specialty status for Endodontics. Dr. Shoemaker treated thousands of the complex endodontic and surgical cases for our deserving Vietnam Era Soldiers, receiving a Meritorious Service Award. The University of Tennessee School of Dentistry subsequently appointed Dr. Shoemaker as a part time clinical Endodontic instructor from 1975 to 1986. Dr. Shoemaker has treated more than 100,000 cases in the last 44 years. Approximately half our Endodontic cases are retreatment of root canals performed by other dentists. So before you doom a tooth to extraction, please let us take a peek; it can save a patient thousands of dollars. This professional profile is presented to calm fears and apprehension of root canals. This professional profile is presented to assure you, the patient, of our vast experience and desire to mitigate the fear, dread and anxiety of endodontic root canal procedures. You and your tooth have friends with years of experience. Please visit our website — http://shoemaker-dental.glf-hosting.com.

Haley’s current Metal Museum exhibition represent a variety of metalworking skills with pieces from his “Coils,” “Erratics,” “Torics,” “Spheres,” and “Ripples” series.

And his work, at minimum, makes us rethink what metal can do and say.

With “Coils,” large slabs of manipulated steel resemble curled ribbons or chocolate shavings. Elements of the larger sculptures in “Erratics” are meant to echo the form of glacial erratics, large boulders that have been carried far away from their original landscape as a result of glacial movements.

By stacking these roundish, rock-like forms with rectilinear steel blocks, the finished product appears both balanced and off-kilter.

Haley states his intention was “that the relationship of these disparate elements be perceived as completely natural and settled while simultaneously suggesting that they might collapse at any moment.”

The “Erratics” pieces, much like life, suggest a need for balance. As Haley nears his destination, driving into Charlotte, he tells me he’s touching on that subject in his talk at the Old Growth dedication ceremony, quoting from a passage written by a nurse who’d spoken to people in their last days about their biggest regrets. “The main one is not leading an authentic life and pursuing your dreams,” he says. “And of course after that is not spending enough time with your family and working too much — so you’ve got to balance it out.”

Haley is thankful to be able to strike that balance and continue to do what he loves — create. “It’s its own kind of therapy,” he says. “I think people probably have an image of artists going into the studio, whether they’re a painter or whatever, and it’s just this kind of automatic thing, but it’s a lot more than that. It’s frustrating sometimes and it brings up all the emotions, but there are those nuggets.

“I was working on a piece recently where I got into that state of literally losing track of time and not wanting to stop for lunch and then saying, ‘Oh, maybe I’ll just work a little bit longer.’ That’s a rare state. A lot of the time it’s just like work, but to get to that place, it’s all worth it.”

The Metal Museum’s “Master Metalsmith: Hoss Haley” exhibition runs through December 30, 2016.

DIVORCE

THE RICES WROTE THE BOOK. They really did.

Larry Rice and Nick Rice are co-authors of The Complete Guide to Divorce Practice, published by the American Bar Association.

For more than 25 years, the book has been recognized as the standard reference for divorce lawyers across the nation.

Larry has been selected to Super Lawyers in family law since 2008. He is included as one of the Top 100 Lawyers in Tennessee and Top 50 in Memphis from all fields. He has given more than 200 lectures on divorce practice to lawyers nationally and internationally. Nationally certified as a Family Law Specialist, Larry received the American Institute of Family Law Attorneys Client Satisfaction Award in 2014 and 2015.

Nick Rice is recognized as a Rising Stars honoree. The National Academy of Family Law Attorneys recognized Nick as a nationally ranked Top 10 Under 40 attorney. They are both rated Superb (10 out of 10) by Avvo.com.

The Rice Divorce Team is exclusively committed to family law—from prenuptial agreements to final decrees, from parenting time to property division and everything in-between.

The team applies generations of experience, nationally recognized expertise, local presence and up-to-date technology to lead their clients through negotiations, mediation, arbitration or litigation. The depth of The Rice Divorce Team’s personnel provides the ability to tailor representation to each client’s individual needs and goals.

While the team is proud of courtroom success, their greatest satisfaction often comes from obtaining a quiet settlement favorable to their client.

Divorce is difficult. Divorce is made worse by misinformation. The Rices’ guide to divorce is available to you at www.aboutdivorce.com.

10 YEARS THE HEART FOR THE FIGHT When choosing a lawyer for criminal defense, there is only one opportunity to make the right choice, a choice that will have a resounding impact on your future.

SELECTED TO Super Lawyers William D. Massey Lorna S. McClusky

At Massey, McClusky, McClusky & Fuchs, we bring something special to the table—the heart for the fight. In an adversarial system that pits the prosecution against the defense, we are in it to win it, zealously advocating for our clients to preserve their reputation and freedom.

Our goal is to prevent our clients from being charged with a criminal act. If that’s not possible, we know our way to the courthouse and what to do when we get there. Settlement is always attempted, but if it can’t be reached on our client’s terms, we are comfortable asking for a jury trial.

Senior partner William Massey has more than 30 years of courtroom experience and was the first lawyer in West Tennessee to be certified as a Criminal Trial Specialist. Lorna McClusky has consistently been named one of the top women defense attorneys in the Mid-South, Tennessee, and the Nation.

Together they have been a prominent and formidable defense team for 19 years. Their trial skills have been honed in the adversarial arena and polished by professional advocacy training with the country’s best trial lawyers. Joseph McClusky, Lauren Fuchs, and Chelsea Harris joined the firm and have established themselves as “go-to” lawyers. A lasting legacy is assured for championing the defense of the accused. We do it by bringing something special to the table—the heart for the fight.

by lesley young

f you’re planning on investing in real estate in New Orleans, act like a local and be sure to get something with an extra room. You’re going to need a place to put all of those costumes.

Known as the Festival Capital of the World, there is literally at least one festival every month of the year, and more often than not, several to choose from. Why choose? There’s no reason to sit at home when you can watch a swarm of men run down the street in red dresses in August or compare wig heights among multiple Marie Antoinettes during the Bastille Day Fete.

There are food festivals and cultural festivals, music would come home from fasting for midnight mass on Christfestivals and literary festivals, neighborhood festivals and mas Eve and eat elaborate feasts, usually at about 2 a.m. even a po-boy festival, as well as a festival to celebrate that This tradition was revived in the 1990s, particularly by the favorite summertime vestment, white linen.

Crawl will be held Saturday, December 17th, where thousands of costumed merrymakers will take to the streets in the Warehouse District. The 21+ party kicks off at 2 p.m. at the “South Pole” (Manning’s, 519 Fulton Street), where participants will gather for food and specialty drinks before taking off at 6 p.m. for a four-block jaunt to the “North Pole” (Generations Hall, 310 Andrew Higgins Drive). Spectators will see variations of Santa, Mrs. Claus, the Grinch, Scrooge, and other holiday characters. Prizes for the most creative costumes will be awarded. Visit runningofthesantas. com/new-orleans for more info.

On the Sunday before Christmas, you can find a sea of candles held by carolers, professional and non, in Jackson Square for a tradition that has pretty much exceeded capacity, and anyone is welcome to attend. Sheet music is usually provided. And on Christmas Eve, just in case Papa Noël (Santa Claus, Cajun style) doesn’t catch City Park and its infinitude of lights, locals prepare large wooden bonfire structures along the Mississippi River levee, sometimes in the shapes of cabins or steamboats, and set them on fire while passing around bowls of gumbo among friends

Don’t let the holidays be a pain in the neck.

This holiday season, let Semmes Murphey be your trusted source for neurological treatment, neck and back pain, migraines, concussions, physical therapy, and so much more.

As far as where to stay, the choices are well nigh endless. There’s the 1886-built, Beaux Arts institution Hotel Monteleone, complete with its carousel-like rotating bar in the lobby, literary heritage, and French Quarter digs. The Waldorf Astoria Roosevelt Hotel was built in 1893 and renovated in 2009 and boasts the John Besh (Cochon, Peche, and Luke) eatery, Domenica, along with a spa and an exquisite rooftop pool. Holiday activities include the kid-friendly Teddy Bear Tea and Christmas Day brunch in the ballroom.

Le Pavillon in the CBD (the French Quarter’s hip neighbor and the arts district of New Orleans) has a grand, white exterior with an Old-World porte-cochère that is no shrinking violet, and that goes for the inside as well.

And they have a tradition of serving gourmet peanut butter and jelly sandwiches every night that somehow makes you feel like you’re in an old Hollywood movie.

I stayed in the Audubon Cottages in the Quarter for Endymion Ball a few years back, and I can’t recommend it enough. This quite literal hidden gem in the Quarter usually makes it on any “Top Five” list, and word has it, it is an Oprah favorite. It features seven one- and two-bedroom suites surrounding an outdoor, heated salt pool, with complimentary breakfast in the pool room.

New Orleans might as well have invented the bed and breakfast, and there is no shortage to choose from. I would recommend visiting bbnola.com or neworleansbandbs.com for a bevy of choices.

And with so such an international flair, and all these creative people, most Airbnb choices will be good ones. Just keep in mind the unusual home architecture of the area many times involves going through people’s bedrooms to get to the kitchen, but that’s just part of the New Orleans experience.

ASK VANCE

El Rancho Our trivia expert solves local questions of who, what, when, where, why, and why not.

Well, sometimes.

DEAR VANCE: What became of that Spanishstyle house that once stood outside the city limits on Summer, just down the road from the Highway Patrol station?

— b.f., memphis.

I’m not sure I can fully explain the subtle but in Mexico. In the front yard, standing in a patch of extremely important differences between Spanish-style yucca plants, was a full-size concrete burro, tended buildings and Mexican ones, but although many people by a sombrero-wearing gentleman, also of concrete, remember this residence as the “Spanish House,” it was of course, and both painted in bright colors. Donnelly actually constructed to reflect the architecture and didn’t make these, as you might expect; according to culture of Mexico, a country that captured the heart his daughter, Michael Ann Bogle, he purchased them somewhere in Missouri. of the man who built the place he called El Rancho.

Born here in the early 1900s, William Michael DonBogle told The Commercial Appeal that as teenagers nelly made a living as a sheet metal worker, a job that alshe and her brother, Pat, helped their parents build lowed him to travel, and he and his wife, Inez, journeyed the house: “She learned how to lay concrete block and to Mexico many times during their long marriage of bricks at the house.

“If the bulldozers come to raze Donnelly’s legacy, his legend will remain,” wrote Kriste Goad in the CA. “Bogle is certain of that, and she’s certain that her father had no regrets about his life. ‘He died with a smile on his face,’ she said. ‘It was a good way to live your life.’”

Remembering the Alamo

DEAR VANCE: What happened to a place called the Alamo Grill, next door to Leahy’s Tourist Court on Summer? — t.l., memphis.

It’s interesting that so many places along Summer adopted a Western theme, for no apparent reason. Without thinking too hard about it (something I try to avoid at all costs), I can remember the Ohman Ranch House, the Silver Horseshoe Motel, the Palomino Motel, and now the Alamo Grill.

The little grill, as you have already mentioned, opened in 1952 just across Cypress Creek from Leahy’s zoo, the yard filled with peacocks, goats, dogs, a mule Tourist Court. As far as I can determine, the first owner named Festus, and — a living embodiment of the conwas Manuel Kolvias, but I haven’t been able to learn crete one — a Sicilian donkey named Jocko. what he did before opening this little establishment, Inez passed away in 1995.

He died in his sleep just two years later, at the age of 86.

It would have been a good location for a diner, so Bogle decided to sell the home. “Daddy told me not close to a rather large tourist court and trailer comto keep it,” she told The Commercial Appeal. “I have mixed plex, though it had competition from the better-known feelings about it.

BOOKS

Susan Schadt Press Two new releases are a feast for the senses.

by richard j. alley

W

hen Susan Schadt felt a tug on her line, what she pulled up wasn’t redfish or trout; it wasn’t even an old boot or car tire. She’d hooked herself a second career as a book publisher with her own, eponymous press.

“If somebody had told me eight years ago when I published my first book, First Shooting Light, that I would start my own publishing company, I probably would’ve made a big wager against that probability,” she says. “I don’t like to bet against myself, but becoming a publisher and editor and occasional author, it was never a passion of mine, but it’s been a creative and evolving process that I tried and liked and have developed over the years.”

Susan Schadt Press has recently released two books — Reel Masters: Chefs Casting About with Timing & Grace, and The Chubby Vegetarian: 100 Inspired Vegetable Recipes for the Modern Table — cementing its commitment to the outdoors and conservation, the sporting life, and the culinary arts.

When Schadt retired as president and CEO of ArtsMemphis at the start of 2015, she’d already worked to produce several books through the arts organization and its Conservation Through Art initiative in partnership with Ducks Unlimited. Her own press grew from a newfound interest in book publishing, a rapidly increasing expertise, and a lifelong love of the outdoors and art. Edited by Schadt, Reel Masters, especially, harkens back to earlier titles such as First Shooting Light: A Photographic Journal Reveals the Legacy and Lure of Hunting Clubs in the Mississippi Flyway, and Wild Abundance: Ritual, Revelry & Recipes of the South’s Finest Hunting Clubs, among others. Both feature jaw-dropping photography by Murray Riss and Lisa Buser, respectively.

Reel Masters

user takes a turn behind the lens again for Reel Masters with the hook, so to speak, of eight renowned chefs and their guides taking readers along on fishing excursions to favorite bywaters, coastlines, and bayous. Those chefs include Jeremiah Bacon, John Besh, Walter Bundy, John Currence, Chris Hastings, Donald Link, and Kevin Willmann. Memphis’ own Kelly English (Second Line, Restaurant Iris) and guide Don Helmer take us off the coast of Venice, Louisiana, to cast among old, abandoned oil rigs in search of “redfish or speckled trout and a few sharks.” Later, he’ll make up a mess of Ryan Plummer’s Killer Frickin’ Ceviche, Tomato and Crab Salad with Avocado Vinaigrette, and Venice Court Bouillon.

“One of the things I love about this trip is that we eat everything out of this one body of water for dinner,” English writes. “I never understand when a restaurant near any body of salt water serves food from other parts of the world.”

The coffee table-size book is big and beautiful.

the liberal arts, an artist or writer of some sort, or a professor of philosophy, which is what he first set out to be as a student at Yale.

Newman still sees himself as having “stumbled” into the profession of law, through a succession of unexpected quirks and circumstances. He sees the two vocations as having meshed into each other to some degree, though, and is happy that his chosen one has led him away from insularity and into consistent and practical intercourse with the world.

Newman’s attachment to his home town became ever more real as he realized the enormity of its problems and, paradoxically, the great opportunities those problems present. “We have had a very large, desperately poor population, most of whose ancestors came to Memphis from Mississippi and other rural areas, and some whose ancestors lived in what was really de facto slavery long after legal slavery ended. And they had all the problems that we ought to expect they would.

“One thing that strikes me is the number of young people in their 20s and 30s that I know, people who could live anywhere in the country — young lawyers who could practice at the most prestigious law firms on both coasts, and others who could go anywhere — who have come to Memphis by choice and who profess to love it. I think one thing that attracts them is that while we’ve got the full array of problems that exist in every urban area on earth, we’ve also got a city that is open.”

That is not exactly how a Chamber of Commerce promotion might pitch the city, but Newman sees it as a selling point. It certainly was to his own generation.

“We were fortunate to have dropped in our laps a set of very specific issues having to do with race. It was easy to know where we should be, and thrilling to be even on the fringes of that. Kids these days are hungry for a cause, but they don’t have many no-brainer causes like civil rights. Even global warming is not just simple and cut and dried.”

Charlie Newman remains on the case at Burch, Porter & Johnson, pushing 80 but ready for the next issue that needs litigating, the cause that needs protecting, the goal that needs pursuing. The monthly book club he belongs to, founded by the late historian Shelby Foote, requires each member in turn to pick a book for the others to read, one that has stirred that participant’s imagination.

Newman’s last pick? Herman Melville’s Moby-Dick. In ways suggestive of that novel’s dedicated questor, the steady gaze of his pale gray eyes is still on the horizon, ever on the lookout.

Sear Shack Burgers & Fries

T

by pamela denney

he griddle cheeseburgers at Sear Shack — made from scratch and seductively good — are an American story of immigration, entrepreneurship, and a tolerant mother’s impromptu test kitchen. Owner Joseph Ang’s boyhood love for Burger King plays a part too, as does a fortuitous meet-up with a street vendor selling sandwiches from a cart in San Juan.

Let’s begin the story with Ang’s parents, Vy and Yao Ang, when they fled the Cambodian civil war in the early 1980s to resettle, start a family, and open a Chinese restaurant in Memphis. “My mom owns and operates Lucky China in Southaven. I follow in her footsteps,” says Ang, who bought a Steak Escape franchise at age 22 and sold it seven years later to start his first Sear Shack in Collierville. In early November, he opened a second restaurant in Sanderlin Centre not far from Muddy’s Bake Shop.

Ang’s concept all along was to build a better burger, starting with the bun.

He knew nothing about baking. “I went through about 500 pounds of flour, and my mother’s kitchen was covered in flour for a year straight,” Ang said. He tinkered with an online recipe and added some sugar, a nod to the fast-food burger buns he ate growing up. “I knew if I seasoned the meat with salt and pepper and got the buns just a little sweet, the burgers were going to be great,” he says.

Indeed. These days, brother Michael Ang shoulders the baking, turning out about 600 buns a day for both restaurants. And the burgers made with Angus beef? They are seared on a griddle well done for an irresistible throwback taste, updated with trendy add-ons like dill pickles made in-house and a Puerto Rican-inspired secret sauce. Handcut fries and hand-spun milkshakes (salted caramel is my favorite) fill out the menu for a much-needed reminder that when cooking, simple is always best.

5101 Sanderlin Ave. (901-567-4909) and 875 W. Poplar, Collierville (901-861-4100) $

Sear Shack keeps the menu simple: hand-spun milkshakes in four flavors (vanilla, chocolate, Nutella and salted caramel); cheeseburgers with a choice of seven toppings; and hand-cut fries. Owner Joseph Ang, pictured above, spent a year perfecting the restaurant’s artisanal buns, made fresh in-house every day.

uffy Turley, editor of The S cout G uide (TSG) Memphis, hosted this great event, which was one of the most enjoyable and memorable happenings of the fall. It was a true thrill to have the opportunity to mix and mingle with India Hicks, celebrated model, lifestyle guru, and not least of all member of the British royal family.

Hicks is the daughter of famed decorator David Hicks and Lady Pamela Hicks, whose father, Lord Mountbatten, was Queen Victoria’s great-grandson and the last viceroy of India. India Hicks lives an idyllic life with her large family and numerous pets on Harbour Island, the Bahamas, in a home dreamily named “Hibiscus Hill.”

Not one to rest on her illustrious pedigree, last year Hicks launched a luxury direct-sales collection of beauty, gifts, and accessories sold through a network of entrepreneurial women called “ambassadors.” Her design style combines elements of her traditional British upbringing with her colorful Caribbean present.

At the brunch I was flattered to be seated at table number one along with Hicks, whom I found to be the perfect embodiment of “Englishness”— self-deprecating, witty. and simply charming. And very beautiful in a natural, outdoorsy way. She told the assembled group that she found Graceland “amazing.” After her talk, she signed her latest book entitled India Hicks: Island Style published by Rizzoli. By the way, the foreword is written by Prince Charles, who just happens to be Hicks’ godfather.

Muffy Turley was a natural to host this brunch as she is dedicated to entrepreneurship and “living beautifully.” JJ Keras and Kate Mueller, India Hicks ambassadors in Memphis, were also instrumental in helping to organize the event. Kudos to all!
