‘Country Christmas’ Have a magical time at Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center

BY KIMBERLY SHELTON FOR CROSSROADS MAGAZINE

PA G E 8

Featuring over 2 million twinkling lights, lavish holiday displays and festive new décor, the Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center offers everything needed for a “Country Christmas”.

Canopied beneath stunning glass atriums right in the heart of Music City, the popular Nashville, Tenn., resort is a destination within itself.

Complete with casual and fine dining restaurants, gift shops, a world-renowned spa and fitness center, WSM AM Radio (Home of the Grand Old Opry) and a convention center, Gaylord Opryland hosts more than one million visitors annually from the United

CROSSROADS MAGAZINE

States, Asia, Europe and all over the world. The resort has also welcomed several U.S. presidents, dignitaries and celebrities as guests.

“It really is a beautiful place,” said Anna Ruggiero of Boston, Mass. as she and her husband Ray hopped aboard a riverboat for a scenic ride down the winding Delta River. “We love country music, dancing and indulging so Gaylord Opryland seemed like the perfect place to vacation.”

Though it was their first visit to the indoor tropical paradise, it certainly won’t be their last.

“We are having a wonderful time,” said Anna. “We will defi-

nitely be back.”

Echoing their sentiments, Gretchen McNally of Columbus, Ohio, is thankful to have had the opportunity to attend a loved ones’ wedding after Mother Nature put a damper on the couple’s nuptials.

“The wedding was supposed to take place in Bufort, S.C., but because of Hurricane Matthew, everyone was forced to evacuate,” she explained. “The resort was gracious in letting us hold the wedding in their Delta Atrium, especially with such short notice.”

North Dakota residents Yuman and Fang Tiang were delighted to share their first Opryland visit with friends.

Snapping pictures on their iPhones, the girls posed for selfies near Cascades American Cafe while chatting excitedly about their plans for the night.

“This is the most awesome place I’ve ever been to,” said Yuman Tiang as she took in the sights. “We just got here and I already want to come back.”

Now alight with the spirit of Christmas, Gaylord Opryland hotel guests and visitors will find themselves mesmerized by streaming lights, giant guitars, music notes and other opulent holiday embellishments hanging from the venue’s many atriums. Lights are lit from 4 p.m. until midnight daily.

Giant poinsettias, wreaths, ornaments and over 100 decorated Christmas trees set the scene for Yuletide fun and holiday memory making.

“We start hanging Christmas lights in July and turn them all on in November. Holidays here are truly a magical time for all of us.”

Magnificent sets and costumes inspired by Dr. Seuss’ original illustrations transport audiences to the whimsical world of Whoville, as this sparkling production breathes new life into this timeless story of the true meaning of Christmas.

Tickets are available at the Grand Ole Opry box office. The Box Office opens 90 minutes prior to first show of the day and remains open 30 minutes after the final show of the day. This will be the musicals final year in Nashville at the Grand Ole Opry House.

Candlelight tour turns to 1860s Colonial Williamsburg theme

BY KIMBERLY SHELTON FOR CROSSROADS MAGAZINE When it comes to Christmas in the Crossroads, residents cling tightly to tradition.

From stockings carefully hung by the chimney to treasured ornaments from Christmases past, the holidays are not quite here until the sentimental decorations have been pulled out.

Candy canes, wooden toys, and flourishes of silver and gold instantly transport, reminding young and old of nostalgic Noels spent with family and friends.

Though it is always fun to add new trimmings, true classics will never go out of style as is evident with the smashing success of the 2015 Verandah-Curlee House Candlelight Tour.

Turning to the history of the 1857 Jackson Street abode for inspiration, Corinth’s Little Garden Club (founded in 1959) adopted an 1860s Colonial Williamsburg theme to create an elegant, yet understated atmosphere.

Decking the halls with pine cones, magnolia leaves and sprigs of fir, the gardeners created luscious, live wreaths and garlands reminiscent of days gone by.

“We tried to limit ourselves to items that would be appropriate for the time period, things that the first owner would have had access to,” said CoVice President Barbara Trapp of the Little Garden Club. “In addition to lots of greenery, we chose things like fruit, nuts and just a few native flowers since residents back then wouldn’t have had as much access to fresh arrangements like we do with floral shops today, especially in winter.”

“It was an all-hands on deck experience for our club. Literally every member pitched in and worked the whole week before to ensure the tour was a memorable event for everyone.”

Using camellias and other flowers in bloom from their gardens, the less than 30 members of the club combined their efforts to transform the Curlee House just in time for Ol’ St. Nick.

“It was an all-hands on deck experience for our club,” said a grateful Trapp as she recalled how everyone rolled up their sleeves to help out.

“Literally every member pitched in and worked the whole week before to ensure the tour was a memorable event for everyone.”

Complete with stunning live Christmas trees both inside and out, the club adopted two very different looks for the evergreens.

Embellished with handmade crocheted angels and snowflakes, flickering candles and oriental fans, the indoor tree was a showstopper, towering almost to the ceiling.

In contrast, the outdoor tree was literally, “for the birds.”

Decorated with dried apples, strings of popcorn and cranberries, the back garden’s outdoor tree was as appetizing to some as it was appealing to others.

“The birds enjoyed our outdoor Christmas tree very much,” said Trapp. “There is evidence that they visited and enjoyed some festive snacks while they were there.”

Keeping their feathered-friends in mind, decorators also added cotton bolls for the birds to use as nesting materials.

Both 9-foot Carolina Sapphire trees were generously donated by Pine Mountain Tree Farm of Kossuth.

Illuminated by lanterns on the top of gate posts and up the stairs, the Greek Revival-style home was cast in a warm ambient glow. A trail of candles led from the back porch to the cozy cottage where visitors were served spiced tea and homemade sugar cookies.

Nostalgic holiday music and actors in period dress hearkened back to

Clockwise from above left: The garden club used natural items like nuts, fruits, pine cones and fresh greenery to embellish tables.

The best way to achieve an old-fashioned look for any table is to add candles.

The garden club’s outdoor tree decor served a duel purpose - add decor and attract birds.

“The costumes were exquisite.

simpler times well before today’s hustle, bustle and technologies.

“The costumes were exquisite,” said Trapp of the stunning dresses, shawls and other garb worn during the tour.

“We are so grateful to Corinth TheatreArts and our other volunteers for helping us set the scene for a classic 1860s Christmas in the Crossroads.”

A special thanks was also given to local churches and other groups who graciously offered their time and musical talents.

“We could not have achieved such a stunning vision were it not for the help of all involved,” said Trapp as she reflected on the events many volunteers. “We are especially grateful to Faye McAlpin, who was instrumental in our efforts, as well as our President Melanie Brose for her leadership and floral expertise.”

“It was a scramble to get it all finished because using fresh materials you can’t put everything up the day after Halloween and leave it up until after New Year as you would like to,” she continued.

“We tried to wait as long as possible before adding the flowers and greenery to keep everything looking fresh and beautiful.”

According to Trapp, old houses are a lot like people. They sometimes require a bit of tender, loving care to keep them going.

Held every other year, the jovial event raises money for the historic preservation of the house and museum. The candlelight tour returns in 2017.

“Thanks to the combined efforts of all involved, we were able to raise well over $1,000 for the upkeep of one of Corinth’s most beloved treasures,” she said. “Our hope is that it will remain preserved for another 150 plus years.”

To achieve a similar effect this Christmas, consider using greenery, fruits and other plant materials that are native to your area.

Boughs of Holly, dried citrus, nuts, berries acorns, pears and persimmons would all make lovely additions.

Keep poinsettias healthy after the holidays One topic I like to touch on every year around the holidays is poinsettia care.

I imagine many local people will have several poinsettias they are using for decorations. Here is a little history as well as a few tips to help with care, maintenance and what to do with them after the holidays are over.

This plant was introAg Lines duced into the United States in 1825 by Joel Robert Poinsett, the first U.S. ambassador in Mexico.

Since then, the poinsettia has gradually become one of the most popular plants used for decoration during the holiday season.

Knowing what to do to keep the poinsettia healthy after the holidays are over and the decorations are removed can be difficult. Since most people are reluctant to dispose of the plant it is important to know that these plants can be grown throughout the year and flowered the following Christmas. During the holidays monitor the plants to ensure that the soil doesn’t become too dry and also be careful about over watering. Either of these conditions can damage the poinsettia.

Keep in mind that plants tend to dry out quickly inside the home during the winter months if you are using a central heating system. Air inside the home can become very dry and therefore dry the plant quickly. Keep a check on the soil moisture of not only poinsettias, but all houseplants.

Here is one method of caring for a poinsettia.

After Christmas, the green leaves on the plant in the home will begin to yellow and fall. After

a while, all that is left will be the stem with red bracts which also wither and fall later on. During this period, let the soil in the pot dry, but not to the extent that the stem shrivels. Also, keep the plant in a relatively warm area. As soon as the threat of frost has passed in the spring, take the plant outside and put the whole plant, including the pot, in the ground or in some moist mulch.

It should be in full sunshine. Cut the stem back to within 3 to 6 inches of the soil line. Keep the soil moist and soon, new branches will appear.

The tip should be pinched out of all new branches when they are 8 to 10 inches long all the way through August. During this period of growth, keep the soil in the pot moist at all times.

The plants should be fertilized every 14 days with one cup of a fertilizer solution. Prepare the solution by mixing 1 tablespoon of a complete fertilizer (such as 13-13-13 or 20-20-20) to a quart of water. Lift and turn the pot slightly every week to break off any roots that may be growing out of the pot.

Following the last pinch in August, grow the plant until cool nights start in late September and October. At this time, the plant must be moved to a protective structure where it will receive maximum sunlight during the day and a minimum night temperature of 60 degrees F. You don’t need to mulch the pot during this period but the soil should still be kept moist and fertilizing should continue.

From September until blooming, the plant must be protected from artificial light from sundown on through the night. Even if a very small amount of light should strike the plant, it will not flower properly. If lights have to be turned on, you need to cover the plant with something like a box or a dark cover.

Around Thanksgiving the bracts should begin to color. If all goes well, expect full flowers

by Christmas.

The Mississippi Delta Area home to some of the greatest hunting in the U.S.

Josh Webb

PA G E 4 4

Mississippi is an incredible place to live.

Our state has seen the birth of music and sports legends as well as it fair share of actors grace the screens of Hollywood. There are famous landmarks scattered across the landscape that each have a special story to tell. You can even eat at some of the oldest establishments in the nation if you happen to be hungry on your journey through the state.

But for the time being, I want you to look at a particularly unique portion of the state found between the Mississippi River and Interstate 55. This area -- affectionately known as the “delta” -- is home to miles and miles of row crops and some of the greatest hunting in the nation.

If you were to look back at the history of hunting

CROSSROADS MAGAZINE

in the Mississippi Delta there would be endless accounts from the good ole days. For instance, Beaver Dam Lake in the northern portion of the delta was made famous by author and conservationist Nash Buckingham. Buckingham wrote dozens of articles and stories describing the massive amounts of waterfowl that found their way to the area during their winter migration. The nostalgia of Nash and his famous shotgun Bo Whoop still linger each winter as thousands of hunters enjoy the vast amounts of wing-shooting the delta has to offer.

Another hunt from the history books that took place in the Mississippi Delta near the tiny, unincorporated town of Onward is the famous bear hunt by President Teddy Roosevelt. Roosevelt traveled to the area in search of black bear and after his guide, Holt Collier, promised Roosevelt he would see a bear, he was astonished at how quickly Collier’s pack of hounds tracked down the desired species.

As the hunt went on, Roosevelt did not harvest the bear in which Collier had tracked for him and it was years later before Teddy harvested his beloved black bear. The respect and love for wildlife would later lead Roosevelt to be known as one of the greatest conservationist of all time. Several of the wildlife refuges in the delta are a part of the Theodore Roosevelt complex that allows hunters to access some of the highest quality hunting our state has to offer. All of the historical events and hunts that took place in the delta are captivating and have claimed their special place in history.

Now let’s put memory lane in the rearview for a minute and focus on what the Mississippi Delta offers hunters today.

To put it simply, the delta has something for everyone. Duck hunting in the delta is world renowned for the way it seems to grab ahold of you the minute your hunt begins.

The waste grain left behind from the harvest of row crops allows migrating waterfowl to have more than an abundant source of food on their

www.mycrossroadsmagazine.com

southward journey. Not to mention the numerous state and federal agencies that have public land hunting opportunities scattered throughout the flatland to accommodate the thousands of hunters that visit each year.

I have to say that there is nothing quite like standing at the bottom of a 100-yearold cypress tree as groups of mallards and gadwalls break down to join the spread of decoys you lay before them. It kind of seems like duck hunting in the delta almost has a since of magic to it.

You get to see the world wake up in some of the most hallowed waterfowl grounds in the Mississippi flyway. You also get to see how quick a slow day can turn into a barn burner in a matter of seconds.

The Mississippi Delta has indeed been made famous for its outstanding waterfowl hunting, but there is another type of wing shooting that is unlike any I have ever seen.

Each year as summer turns to fall, hunters of all ages gather to have their annual dove hunt around Labor Day weekend. And while I certainly agree that this is the marker for getting into the hunting spirit, I hope that is not the only time you spend pursuing doves for the year. After all the crops are harvested and the field work is complete, there are exceptionally high numbers of migratory doves that find their way to the delta. The waste grain left behind will indeed create a food source for waterfowl but until then the migrating doves feast on the leftovers. Paired with the natural water sources that cover the delta this creates the perfect combination to make for exceptional dove hunting well into the fall and winter. It also makes for a great way

to keep yourself in tune before the winter duck season rolls around and the weather is often times much more comfortable for you to bring your entire family along for the hunt.

If you are not a wing shooter and would still like to hunt the delta, fear not.

The Mississippi Delta has long been one of the best kept secrets for big mature whitetail deer. With more and more

landowners, hunting clubs and public access areas continuing their efforts toward quality deer management, the quality of deer harvested seems to increase each season.

The hunting clubs and outfitters along the Mississippi River rival any Midwest whitetail destination. They each have staked their claim as big buck hotspots and are sure to bring you a once in a lifetime experience.

It should also not go without mention that across the entire expanse of the delta the deer hunting is superb and if you are ever allowed the chance to chase the magnificent whitetails that roam the hill barren land of the Mississippi delta you will never forget it.

There is something mesmerizing about sitting along the edge of a winding cane thicket deep in the delta woods while you wait for a delta giant to expose himself. It is an addictive style of hunting that will keep on edge for the entire season.

When you begin to figure out what type of hunting you would like to experience in the delta, there is no shortage of game to enjoy.

Contrary to popular belief there are high populations of turkeys that call the delta home as well as an incredible amount of alligators nearly everywhere a hunter looks.

To add to that, hunters could easily get a shot at one of the thousands of wild hogs that call the delta home at any given moment. If the passion is wing shooting, the delta has it in spades. If the hunter has whitetails on the brain and are looking for a quality experience close to home, this is the place. Maybe you just want to grab a few buddies and walk the woods in search of bushy tailed squirrels and big swamp rabbits.

That is also perfectly acceptable.

I am proud to say the delta has it all. If a person ever needed a place to enjoy a once in a lifetime hunting experience, the Mississippi delta has it covered.

With the holiday season fast approaching, many are turning their thoughts to brightly wrapped presents under the Christmas tree.

But what about another kind of gift — the gift of time?

With dozens of organizations in the area needing volunteers, the Crossroads area has something for everyone who wants to give back to the community and help their fellow human beings.

Corinth’s Terry Cartwright is one out of many local residents who choose to spend their time trying to make a difference in the community.

Cartwright, 69, has been involved with the Lighthouse Foundation since its inception in 1995. But since retiring from his job as president of Corinth’s Bancorp South three-anda-half years ago, he has found even more time to give some help where it’s

time Think about volunteering, giving back this holiday season

BY BOBBY J. SMITH FOR CROSSROADS MAGAZINE needed the most.

“It fits me, and it’s something I like to do. In the type of work I did, I met a lot of people and dealt with the public.

Volunteering fits me pretty good,” said Cartwright. “Since I retired I have

a little more time, and I want to do something worthwhile.”

One way he does that is by volunteering as a tutor. Cartwright spends a couple of hours a day, several days a week, tutoring 10-year-old Jesus Contreras, a fifth-grader at Corinth Middle School. Cartwright and Jesus meet after school at the Lighthouse for their tutoring sessions. With the help of his tutor, Jesus made all A’s on his last report card.

“The Lighthouse is very flexible if you want to help out with tutoring. I go every other day,” said Cartwright.

“And one thing I have found is -- you will get at least as much out of it as the kid will.”

Through the tutoring program, Cartwright and Jesus have become good buddies.

“I’m trying to make a cowboy out of him,” said Cartwright, a lifelong

equestrian. “He’s going to be a good horseback rider, too.”

Another Corinth resident who has dedicated himself to volunteering is 78-year-old Tom Chartres. Chartres and wife Martha moved to Corinth from Ocean Springs in November 2005, happy to move inland after repeated hurricane evacuations.

Since then, Chartres has become active in the community and a regular face in many philanthropic efforts.

Most recently he has been working to start a new window-painting contest intended to bring shoppers to downtown businesses around the Christmas season.

Chartres discovered through many years of moving to new towns for his career that the best way to get to know a community is through volunteering.

“We found out if you want to get assimilated into a community or find out what’s going on with a community, if you do volunteer work you’ll get the lay of the land much more quickly,” he said.

Chartres and Martha discovered they both have an affinity for volunteer work and found it a good way to stay active.

“It keeps your mind active,” Chartres said. “You have to do that. You can’t just sit back and wait for your Social Security check.”

More than just providing the satisfaction of seeing a positive change in the community, volunteering has helped shape Chartres’ view of the world and led him to formulate a philosophy for dedicated local philanthropy.

“I’m a believer that if you clean up your own little town the rest will take care of itself,” he said. “If every adult would give five years of their time to any group they want — a church, civic organization, whatever — this world would be a better place.”

So Many Opportunities

The Crossroads area abounds with opportunities for volunteering. The following list, while not claiming to be all-inclusive, provides a place to start www.mycrossroadsmagazine.com

The Magnolia Regional Health Center Auxiliary is a group of ladies who work to improve the local hospital. Over the last decade, the MRHC Auxiliary has given over $150,000 to the hospital from the proceeds of the hospital Gift Shop, located on the first floor across from the patient elevators.

In addition to working in the gift shop, the Auxiliary ladies give directions and room information to patients and visitors as they enter the hospital and provide a range of other services for the hospital.

“The hospital Auxiliary can always use volunteers,” said member Donna Orlich. “There are so many opportunities in our community for people to get involved.”

To learn more about joining the MRHC Auxiliary contact any member of the group by calling the gift shop at 293-1052.

Project Attention is a group that gives attention to the needs of local children, especially at-risk kids.

Rotarians meet on Thursdays.

The Corinth Civitan Club meets at noon on every Wednesday except for the fifth Wednesday of the month at Taylor’s Escape.

“We’d love to have new members,” said Civitan member Tommy Stine. “We do a lot of work in the community.”

To find out more about the Civitans, search for “Corinth Civitan Club” on Facebook.

The best way to get in touch with the Rotary Club is to find a Rotarian, according to Rotary President Michael Tate.

“If you just ask around, somebody will know a Rotary member,” said Tate.

The United Way of Corinth & Alcorn County is a good resource for those who want to start volunteering. As a provider for over a dozen local service agencies, the United Way can direct prospective volunteers to an organization that meets their aptitudes. Contact United Way at 286-6500.

Gadgets make great gifts for Christmas Gadgets make great gifts come the holiday season.

Children may want the latest must-have video games, and many adults scour store advertisements for the newest televisions, tablets, smartphones, and other gadgets to include among their own most wanted lists.

According to the Consumer Electronics Association, the holiday season is typically a record-setting time for consumer spending on tech gifts. The CEA notes that roughly $34 billion was spent in 2015 on tech gifts, and that number figures to grow during the 2016 holiday season. The holiday season is a time when consumers buy tech gifts for their loved ones, but it’s also a time when they splurge on items for themselves.

Technology gifts are popular, but these purchases require some research prior to swiping a card at the checkout counter. Consider this advice before gifting any gadgets this holiday season.

• Check product reviews.

Use resources such as Consumer Reports to read up on the reputations of certain products and brands.

Avoid purchasing products that have no established track record. Also try to read reviews from third-party sites rather than those posted on manufacturer websites. Independent reviews may be more forthcoming than customer testimonials.

• Speak with an educated local retailer.

Visit a store before making any purchases to learn more about the inner workings of the product you plan to buy. Discover its attributes, advantages, disadvantages, and what others are saying about it. The salesperson may have his or her own opinion on the item and may calm any nerves you have. Niche retailers tend to have knowledgeable sales staff and can be assets when comparison shopping.

• Determine if the gift is age-appropriate.

It may be tempting to purchase children the latest and greatest tech gifts because all of their peers may be getting similar items. But first determine if certain items are age-appropriate. Remember, many tech gifts, such as tablets and smartphones, open children up to the world of social media. So if you buy such products, make sure you have turned on the privacy and safety PA G E 5 6

The popularity of tech gifts makes them one of the most widely exchanged categories of presents during the holiday gift-giving season. With research and knowledge, consumers can find the perfect gifts to light up their loved ones’ faces. features available before giving the item to your loved one. If you are purchasing a gift for a young person who is not your child, check with his or her parents to see if the gift will be appropriate or even permitted.

• Compare prices across various retailers.

While popular gifts may be similarly priced because of the level of demand, it is still a worthy effort to comparison shop before making a rash purchase. In addition, consider that new generations of certain tech products come out quite frequently, and the previous generation may become obsolete rather quickly.

Know when manufacturers are releasing new products so you can time your purchases accordingly.

• Put the product through your own test run.

Try a product out for yourself to get a feel for it and its attributes. Hands-on knowledge may be the best type when gifting tech items. Just keep in mind that many retailers have a reboxing or restocking fee on tech products. If the item fails to meet your expectations and you plan to return it, it may cost you a percentage of the price.
