Experience Oxford Visitors Guide, Oct/Nov

Letter from the Editor

Publisher Ed Meek Editor Tad Wilkes

Ho, ho, hooooold on just a minute. Is 2014 really here?

This issue straddles the holidays as we transition into the new year. It is, perhaps, fitting that you will find both gift giving ideas and, in time for New Year’s resolutions, features on healthcare topics in Oxford. It’s mixed in there with other items of interest and community information we hope you might find useful.

If I might suggest any resolution to make, it would be to pay closer attention to what’s going on in Oxford and at Ole Miss. If you blink, you will miss an opportunity for entertainment, enrichment, giving, receiving, walking, running, watching, hearing, helping, or doing.

top 10 outsider observations about oxford

By Andy Knef andy.knef@hottytoddy.com

6

In my first couple of months living in Oxford, I came to a few definitive opinions about my new hometown.

9. Self-described “worldly” people, who scoff at Southern claims of gracious hospitality and the world’s most beautiful women, have never been to Oxford, Mississippi.

I expect to live here for the rest of my life, so I’ll eventually have millions to share. Lets start David Lettermanstyle with my own newcomer’s Top 10.

I love good food so you’ll probably notice a pattern.

8. Cousin Vinnie take a memo: a grit, when cooked up with millions of its fellow grits, is where dead, perfectly seasoned shrimps go to swim when they get to Heaven.

7. It’s virtually impossible to get a bad piece of chicken in this town.

6. For hardcore readers, it’s a scientific fact that you can enter Square Books a fair haired college student and leave with hair in your nose and a dunlap around your middle. From the visitor’s perspective, no time will have passed at all.

3. Tailgating before the Ole Miss game in the Grove is so fun it makes the actual outcome of the game almost incidental.

I’m kidding! I’m kidding! I’m kidding!

2. It’s politically incorrect—in fact, hazardous to your health—to ever politely say you root for both fine SEC teams in Mississippi.

5. Pecan pie, whether you put your accent on the “pe” or the “can”, is heavenly at Taylor Grocery.

4. Speaking of Heaven, at church on Sundays I find the Southern-fried Catholicism served up at St. John’s the Evangelist tender and not the least bit dry. And ditto for all the other fine church people I’ve met at Baptist daycare sites and Methodist summer Bible school camps around town.

1. And finally, my No. 1 observation about the wonderful town of Oxford: Hotty Toddy doesn’t necessarily mean what you think it does when you first arrive here. It’s about passion and excellence.

The

Oxford

i p p i s s i s s i M Dictionary

Needed nomenclature for a growing community

By Tad Wilkes

tad.wilkes@hottytoddy.com

As I traverse Oxford’s highways, byways, sidewalks, and barstools, I observe concepts and behaviors that The Oxford English Dictionary doesn’t define.

This dearth in accepted terminology leads to drawn-out explanations when referencing these phenomena. Our burgeoning community busts at its seams with growth, and so must our collective vocabulary.

So, I endeavor to begin a supplementary lexicon.

This collection of terms will be known as The Oxford, Mississippi Dictionary (not an actual book—yet). I’ll start with a few words that I hope will allow us to more clearly communicate.

10

alleywacker, n. Male Ole Miss student who initates fights in alleyways after bars close, often identified by the overwhelming mixed aromas of Axe Body Spray and entitlement. clusterfrosh, n. A group of several freshmen girls, dramatically overdressed like Julia Roberts going to work in Pretty Woman, walking around the Square cautiously in a tight formation, the first weekend of the fall semester. Often stalked closely by a pimple posse. crescent moon, n. The bottom curvature of the posterior of a coed, exposed to the cosmos by shorts that are intentionally too short. handshart, n. Incorrect attempt at executing the Ole Miss “landshark” hand gesture, improperly extending one’s thumb, often accompanied by spreading apart the rest of one’s fingers. pimple posse, n. Similar to a clusterfrosh.

A group of several freshman males, dressed slovenly in untucked polo shirts and baseball caps, walking wide-eyed around the

hottytoddy.com Visitors and Newcomers Guide • Dec 2013/Jan 2014

Square in a tight formation, the first weekend of the fall semester. Often seen stalking a clusterfrosh. roundaboob, n. A driver unfamiliar with navigation of a simple traffic roundabout, typically bearing a license plate from exotic, faraway climes as disparate as Illinois, New Mexico, and Calhoun County. Despite possessing the right of way, will stop dead still on roundabout to give right of way to someone else, not out of courtesy but out of ignorance. squared stupid, adj. Lacking sense or logic in navigating the Oxford Square.

May stop while circling the courthouse, like a roundaboob, despite not needing to stop, or may zoom on into the fray from any direction, without looking and without regard to actual right of way. Example: Driver traveling north on South Lamar Boulevard passes Proud Larrys’, then turns sharp left to drive down oneway Van Buren. See roundaboob. treetheist, n. A person without faith in Ole Miss football who decides to remain in the Grove after kickoff of a football game. Worships trees, doubts Rebel football.

Yow spearheads renewed development of upscale subdivision

hottytoddy.com Visitors and Newcomers Guide • Dec 2013/Jan 2014

N

ot so long ago, in a land not so far away, there lived a man with a dream: to create the premier local community, where folks would flock to build magnificently beautiful homes, perch them atop a vast selection of rolling hilltops, and enjoy a luxurious, peaceful existence, while nestled securely amongst a shroud of trees.

The economic recession completely halted progress within the Steeplechase subdivision. With only eight homes built in an 88-lot community, the residents were left to wonder what would come of their largest investment. Little did they know, the solution would come from within. One of the newest residents, Nathan Yow, attorney and owner of Mississippi Auto Arms With an “if you build it, they will come” Inc., would soon embark upon a journey to philosophy, Tommy White launched the revitalize the stagnant community.

The Chase Takes a Time Out

Unfortunately for White, an experienced developer from White Development Corporation of Olive Branch, the housing market would soon take a plunge. With so much uncertainty surrounding new government regulations, combined with the unraveling of both government and private sector lending institutions, potential buyers were no longer as motivated to build or purchase new homes.

“Our goal is to fulfill Tommy White’s dream of making Steeplechase the premier community, not only in Oxford, but throughout the region,” Yow says. “Kelly & Associates has two houses under contract—$130 to $180 per square foot. The builder has 18 plans currently available. For those clients who want to design their estate home, Kelly & Associates has an architect on staff, so they can work to create exactly what they want.” www.hottytoddy.com 15

HOOP DREA MS

By Seph Anderson seph@olemiss.edu

Andy Kennedy’s Ole Miss Rebels achieved one of the greatest seasons in program history last season.

They tied a program-high win total (27), were crowned SEC Tournament Champions for the first time since 1981, and won an NCAA Tournament game (Wisconsin) for the first time since 2001.

And there are several newcomers Ole Miss fans should familiarize themselves with this year. Understanding how the loss of big men Holloway and Buckner would impact his depth in the paint, Kennedy signed three powerful, well-built freshmen: C Dwight Coleby (6-9, 236) New Providence, Bahamas F Janari Joessar (6-6, 208) Tartu, Estonia F Sebastian Saiz (6-9, 233) Madrid, Spain By the time SEC play rolls around, these three international Rebels should provide much-needed support to role players such as Jones, Perez, Cox, and Terry Brutus.

While Murphy Holloway, Reginald Buckner, and Nick Williams have graduated, a host of experienced Rebels will be returning this season—guards Marshall Henderson, Derrick Millinghaus, Jarvis Summers, and LaDarius White, along with forwards Aaron Jones, Anthony Perez and center Demetrius Cox. 18

As for SEC action, Ole Miss tips off conference play at home on January 9 against the Auburn Tigers. The rest of a very solid conference home slate looks like this: Jan. 15 Jan. 25 Feb. 1 Feb. 8 Feb. 18 Feb. 22 Feb. 26 March 8

LSU Mississippi State South Carolina Missouri Kentucky Florida Alabama Vanderbilt

Additionally, 6-1, 165-pound guard Jerron Martin (Prince George’s County, Maryland) will also be joining the 2013-2014 Ole Miss squad.

While the Rebs will take to the road against non-conference opponents Georgia Tech (11/29) and Kansas State (12/5), they will host the Oregon Ducks (12/8) and Dayton Flyers (1/4) at home in the Tad Pad. Finally on March 12, Kennedy and the Rebels will begin their quest to repeat as SEC Tournament Champions at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta. Coming off the banner year they had in 2012-2013, the Ole Miss Rebels should once again compete for a ticket to the Big Dance this season.

If they can pick up one or two quality nonconference wins (e.g. Georgia Tech, Kansas State, Oregon) and post a solid SEC record, Rebel fans can once again look forward to “dancing” in March.

Coming soon to South 16th Street.

Madness on the Square Gift shop is a Mississippi go-to

By Lacy Russell

Located on the historic Courthouse Square, Mississippi Madness isn’t your typical gift shop. For 17 years the eclectic shop has been a source for unique and regionally made pieces of pottery and art.

Magical Mississippi Mud “Everything we sell is from Mississippi,” says Owner John Welty. “The big things that we have are Peter’s Pottery, which is made in Mound Bayou, and products from Wolfe Studios which is in Jackson.”

Welty, an Ole Miss alumnus, first moved to Oxford in 1991 to attend Ole Miss and 32

later owned Kalo’s Tavern and bought Mississippi Madness from its original owner in 2003. Since then, business has boomed, and with the holiday season right around the corner, it doesn’t show any signs of slowing down.

“Our busiest time of the year is Christmas,” says Welty. “The last quarter is really our big time of the year.” The shop’s success has made it a go-to destination for Oxford residents and tourists alike.

From Pottery to Sauce and Beyond “A little bit of everybody shops here,” says Welty. “You know, there are a lot tourists that come through, and a lot of people that come in from out of town who will stop by every time they’re in town to buy

hottytoddy.com Visitors and Newcomers Guide • Dec 2013/Jan 2014

pieces pottery to add to their collection or see what’s new.”

From cheese straws made by the Mississippi Cheese Straw Factory in Yazoo City, to a variety of delectable cakes made by Sugaree’s Bakery located in New Albany, the store has it all. They even market the coveted Yocona Sauce, a steak sauce that was once served at the beloved Yocona River Inn in Oxford. Because Mississippi Madness is one of the few places that sells the sauce, keeping it in stock is a bit of a challenge.

Along with unique ceramics, the shop also sells food items.

“People from this area love to send gifts that are from Mississippi,” says Welty. As long as that’s the case, its doors will stay open for many years to come.

Lacy Russell is a student of the Meek School of Journalism & New Media.

Romancing the Stones

By AMANDA WILSON

Van Atkins Jewelry storeowner, Chuck Cooper, loves Oxford.

Van Atkins Jewelry store owner Chuck Cooper and his son are Ole Miss graduates, but their love of Oxford goes even deeper than their alma mater — just 30 miles from the unique New Albany family store.

In 1982, Van Atkins sold its first piece of jewelry and Chuck Cooper worked parttime at the store when he wasn’t pursuing his Ole Miss degree. He even began to sell jewelry to faculty, staff, and students on campus. Because of his long-time creative relationship with Oxford, Cooper says he is committed to supporting the community in any way he can.

Helping and Giving Back “If Oxford needs a lift, we try to help,” said Cooper. “We give a pretty big percentage of our profits back to the community.”

Since graduating from Ole Miss, Cooper stays connected by providing jewelry for

Cooper began his career at Ole Miss in 1980, 20 years after the Van Atkins department store moved to New Albany in 1960 from Newport, Ark. Atkin’s father Warren bought the store.

40

hottytoddy.com Visitors and Newcomers Guide • Dec 2013/Jan 2014

different Ole Miss and Oxford events.

He also donates to local schools. Many of Cooper’s customers are still Ole Miss students, faculty, and university staff.

“Oxford has been very good to me,” Cooper said. “We enter the Oxford area code 38655 every day at our store. We’re your typical jewelry store — except for we carry it to the next level. We carry unique pieces that your average jewelry store won’t have.”

Specializing in timeless antique jewelry, Van Atkins takes pride in its historical pieces. The variety of estate rings, necklaces, and bracelets is a big part of Van Atkins’ draw.

Along with the antique jewelry, the store specializes in four- to five-carat diamond engagement rings.

A Romantic Reputation The Arkansas import has blossomed into one of the most widely known jewelers in Mississippi. Voted “Best Place to Find Antique Jewelry in Mississippi” in 2008 and 2010 and “Best Antique Jeweler” by people’s choice in the Starkville Daily News, Van Atkins counts Paula Deen among the celebrities who shop there. Van Atkins’ jewelry is often cited in Southern magazines and is a favorite of 2005 Miss America winner Deidre Downs.

Outfitting Little Ones Oxford mom’s shop Belles & Beaus offers kids’ clothes from traditional to trendy

By Kate Sinervo kate.sinervo@hottytoddy.com

Nestled amid the trendy women’s clothing stores and boutiques on Oxford’s historic Square is a little shop catering to the littlest of Oxford residents. Belles & Beaus offers clothing, accessories, and toys for kids from infants to tweens.

Stars Align Cathy Lowe, owner of Belles & Beaus and Tummies Maternity in Oxford, says everything just fell into place when she found out she was pregnant with her third child three years ago. Her mother had recently retired from a career in accounting to help Lowe with her then newborn (now her middle child). Lowe decided to stop teaching in order to be a full-time mom.

gestion from a friend turned into a retail store front just off the Oxford Square.

“I’m blessed 100 times over,” Lowe says. “I couldn’t imagine going back to teaching. I get to spend so much more time with my kids now.”

Meeting Market Demand Traditional children’s fashions and garments suitable for monogramming comprise a sales market that has resurfaced in recent years, Lowe says. Belles & Beaus also offers trendier options in great demand around the country.

“We’ve been constantly learning not only what people want but what they love,” Lowe says. “At market, I have to step away from looking for only what I would dress my children in and provide something for everyone.”

Something for Mom

A year after opening Belles & Beaus, the only maternity clothing store in town had shut its doors. Lowe saw a niche, opening Tummies Maternity next door to Belles & After attending a retail market convenBeaus.

Like Oxford itself, health and wellness here never stop evolving.

to the many attributes of the town that bring them here—things have come together in such a way to result in the blossoming of quality healthcare.

A handful of key factors have led to Oxford’s growth as a medical hub in north Mississippi. From the designation of Oxford as one of Mississippi’s certified retirement communties, to the bustling university, to the attraction of droves of new residents in the last decade—and

Oxford continues to attract a high caliber of physicians and healthcare professionals to a medical community anchored by Baptist Memorial HospitalNorth Mississippi and constantly growing to expand specialty care offerings.

hottytoddy.com Visitors and Newcomers Guide • Dec 2013/Jan 2014

Big and Growing A 2007 economic impact study by the Mississippi Hospital Association found that Baptist North Mississippi provides more than 1,200 jobs and has a total economic impact of $165 million a year in Oxford. In 2011, the Mississippi Nurses Association named the Baptist North Mississippi the Hospital of the Year (hospitals of 100 licensed beds or more). In 2010, the hospital was named one of the Best Places to Work by the Mississippi Business Journal.

Baptist North Mississippi recently began clearing property for construction of a new, much larger $300 million facility to further position the hospital as a regional referral center, providing greater

accessibility for patients and space to expand services. The evolution of the hospital will radiate the vibe of progress throughout the Oxford medical community in general.

Outpatient surgery facilities, specialized clinics, urgent care providers, therapists, and many other wellness-focused providers give Oxonians fewer reasons to leave the city limits for care.

Here’s to Your Health Please allow this special section to serve as a mere sampler of Oxford healthcare, along with some wellness tips you might take to heart.

Team Effort Dr. Cooper Terry cares for Ole Miss athletes and patients with skill, compassion.

By Andy Knef andy.knef@hottytoddy.com

If Dr. Cooper Terry weren’t already a successful orthopedic surgeon and one of the official physicians for Ole Miss sports teams, he might play that role on TV. Yes ladies, he’s tall, handsome, and carries himself with quiet confidence. But this is about Terry’s passions. They’re as diverse as they are impressive.

“I love practicing medicine in Oxford because it’s a small town with a very sophisticated medical environment,” explains the Vanderbilt University graduate, originally from Jacksonville, Florida. Terry founded Oxford Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine in 1996.

50

After graduating from Vanderbilt, Terry went on to earn his medical degree from the Nashville school. He then completed six years of residency training at Duke University before heading to Harvard for fellowship training.

Sporting Specialty Terry has expertise in all aspects of orthopedic medicine but he has extensive experience in sports medicine and arthroscopic surgery. At Duke, he treated members of Duke’s sports teams, including the national championship basketball teams of 1992 and 1993. Arthritis surgery and joint replacement are additional areas of focus for the married father of three.

He says his duties with Ole Miss sports and specifically the football team require many hours working with players to prevent injuries and addi-

hottytoddy.com Visitors and Newcomers Guide • Dec 2013/Jan 2014

tional hours treating them when injuries occur. “On a game-day Saturday we’re there hours before the game, ready to respond to any injuries during the game and on hand post game to manage care,” he says.

Terry says he is proud of the entire team at Oxford Orthopaedics, including his two physician partners, orthopedists Dr. Daniel Boyd and Dr. Kurre Luber.

Terry says it’s not unusual to be on the phone with a player’s family after he or she gets injured to reassure folks who may live miles away from Oxford. “We don’t just care for these student athletes in a medical sense — we care about them as human beings.

You can’t watch them go through a whole season, making the sacrifices they make, and not want the absolute best for them,” he says.

“We’re kind of like the Ole Miss teams in the sense that it takes everyone, from our office manager to our surgeons, to ensure we give our patients the absolute best care,” Terry says.

All In

“We have patients visiting us from all over northern Mississippi from all socioeconomic backgrounds. We work hard to meet their medical needs with high-quality expert care and genuine empathy.”

WALKING AND RUNNING

OXFORD

AN ANALYSIS OF POPULAR LEG-STRETCHING LOCALES BY SHERYL CHATFIELD Some people who have been physically active throughout their lives do most of their activity outside, even in uncomfortable (hot or cold) weather. With this in mind, I have completed my own “audit” of the Ole Miss campus, Oxford, and some of the areas outside of the city limits.

In this Part One, I address locations on and adjoining the Ole Miss campus. In the City of Oxford proper, there are many more great places to walk and run. Check those out in Part Two online at HottyToddy.com. Go to: www.hottytoddy.com/walkingand-running-oxford-part-2

LOCATIONS

PLUSES

DEPOT TRAIL From the Depot (Gertrude Ford Center parking lot) to Molly Barr Road.

Mostly flat with lights for night use. Rarely crowded.

Not far from the center of campus. Bathrooms and water fountains are available just beyond the batting cages between Washington and Price streets.

WHIRLPOOL TRAILS Coliseum Drive/Front Street dead ends south of Hwy 6.

The fire road and continuation (straight part) is well maintained, fairly flat, and gets regular use, especially in the evenings when the weather is nice.

The length of this segment is roughly three miles from beginning to end. Surface is gravel, dirt, or sand (or mud or puddles of water after rain). There are many other dirt trails branching off the main portion.

MINUSES

Crosses two roads, and Price Street can be busy.

Plus or minus, depending on your view, is that it’s only one mile long. Paved.

Far from center of campus and hard to get to from campus on foot, as there are no sidewalks once you reach the four-way stop at Coliseum and Hill drives.

Plus or minus, depending on your view: Unpaved; parts are downright rugged. Often quiet and may feel remote.

BOTTOM LINE

Nice to have and quickly accessible from lots of campus. I personally wish it was a little longer.

Due to the distance from the center of campus, most people are going to need to have a decent sized block of time to use this resource.

Not a large area, so it’s hard to accumulate distance. Far from the center of campus. These are used for intramural sports and other activities so are not always available.

Located in the center of campus. Incremental distances are marked and seem to be accurate (I checked with a GPS).

Surprisingly few road crossings.

Not designated for fitness or activity, so you are sharing the space with students, faculty, staff, visitors, maintenance personal, equipment, etc. The markers are embedded in the sidewalk and are hard to see.

Okay for the casual workday walk, not great for serious fitness walking or jogging. Take a map with you the first time.

None I can think of.

Close to campus, and you are unlikely to get lost; you will either run into the highway or run out of sidewalk.

MINUSES

BOTTOM LINE

Lots of students walking to class; lots of vehicle traffic and some drivers have little respect for pedestrians. Some areas are not well lit in the evening.

Hardly worth going so far for a big patch of wet grass.

More active-userfriendly if you are out really early or fairly late (or during semester breaks, avoid class change times when traffic is at its worst. Stop for vehicles because they may not stop for you.

CARE FOR

ALL

AllCare Medical Clinic is about more than just speedy service, its about people

By Justin Taylor justin.taylor@hottytoddy.com

In the last several years, urgent care clinics have taken root in Oxford.

They offer a quick, easier in-and-out healthcare option when going to the emergency room might be a bit drastic (and expensive), and waiting for a traditional clinic visit isn’t timely. Among these newer clinics is AllCare Medical Clinic, at 301 Jackson Avenue, right next to the public walking path and pedestrian bridge.

AllCare’s aim is just what its name implies: affordable, quality health care for everyone who walks in the doors.

Meeting the needs of the underserved has always been a personal mission for Kymberly Van Every, certified nurse practitioner and owner of AllCare. Van Every developed a passion for health care after watching her mother, who was also a nurse, deliver twins, and went on to earn multiple degrees in 56

nursing, including a master’s of science in nursing from Vanderbilt in 2004.

Van Every says she opened AllCare in 2010 to serve those without the money or connections to easily access care.

Finding the Solution “My husband and I were on our way to a conference in New Orleans when I thought of the name,” Van Every says.

“I came up with AllCare because I wanted to help anyone who needs it.” The AllCare staff, includes Van Every, registered nurses, and a primary care physician board-certified in sports medicine, Henry L. Sherman, M.D. — who is also an athletics and student physician at the University of Mississippi. AllCare initially strives to meet patients’ immediate needs.

If AllCare doesn’t have the resources to help a particular patient, the team quickly connects the patient with an appropriate specialist who will honor their insurance. “The best compliment I’ve received was when a person from Blue Mountain came to me because one of our patients referred her to us,” Van Every says. “Our patient told her ‘If (AllCare) can’t find you somewhere to go, nobody can.’”

Van Every adds she would rather have similar remarks circulating in the community than be known as the quickest provider in town. She says clinic staffers work hard to offer patients efficient

GAINING BENEFITS

AND LOSING WEIGHT

It’s an exciting time for teachers and state employees

By Dr. Michael L. King M.D., F.A.C.S.

We now live in a nation where one of every three people is obese.

According to the National Public Radio series “Living Large: Obesity in America”, there are 72 million obese adults in the United States. In 2010, more than 60 percent of the United States was overweight or obese. It is estimated that if the current trend continues, 50 percent of the population will be obese by 2030.

Obesity and the associated health problems have an extremely negative impact on the quality of life and the ability to enjoy normal activities.

The disease of obesity often interferes with basic physical functions such as

58

breathing and/or walking. Long-term implications of the disease include shorter life expectancy, serious health consequences in the form of weight-related conditions such as Type 2 diabetes and heart disease, and a lower quality of life, with fewer economic and social opportunities. Simply put, obesity changes the way we live.

Gaining Coverage In the struggle against the disease of obesity, Oxford Bariatric has been an advocate for health insurance coverage that would include weight loss surgery.

During 2011 and 2012, the clinic participated with the state of Mississippi in a two-year study to show the efficacy of weight loss surgery.

Effective January, 2013, the state health insurance program for teachers and state employees offered coverage for weight loss surgery for the first time.

Multiple teachers are now taking advantage of this benefit to improve their lives through surgery for weight loss.

With these new benefits, many people have chosen the sleeve gastrectomy, commonly known as the gastric sleeve.

The gastric sleeve is the most requested and the fastest growing procedure for weight loss surgery in the world. This procedure results in excellent weight loss and has been shown to be safe and effective.

Battling Diabetes Scientific studies consistently tell us that weight loss surgery helps in the treatment, and at times, complete remission of diabetes. Gastric sleeve surgery, as part of a lifestyle change, can be the best option for many obese people with Type 2 diabetes. A landmark study of more than 22,000 people showed that Type 2 diabetes was completely resolved in 76.8 percent of people and improved in 86 percent of people who underwent weight loss surgery. Many obesity related diseases, such as diabetes, sleep apnea, high blood pressure, joint disease, etc. are improved with the weight loss achieved through surgery.

We believe that the gastric sleeve is an operation that can serve as a lifetime tool for healthier living. With state insurance coverage now available for weight loss surgery, teachers and state employees have a choice.

Dr. Michael L. King, M.D., F.A.C.S. was the first bariatric surgeon in north Mississippi to perform the gastric sleeve surgery.

CHANEY’S

PHARMACY: What’s inside might

SURPRISE YOU

From holiday gifts to frozen yogurt, local drug store fills more needs than prescriptions.

Jared Senseman, jrsensem@go.olemiss.edu

Chaney’s has been a staple of the Oxford community for decades, but it didn’t start offering everything from drugs to haircuts until its current owner, Brent Smith, took over in 1980.

“When Brent graduated from pharmacy school in 1975 he started managing Chaney’s from a man that he grew up working for in Greenwood,” Smith’s wife

Laura says. “He managed the store for five years, and when the previous owner passed away, his wife approached Brent about buying the store, which we did in 1980.” At that time, the store was located next to what is now Dollar General in the back of Tradewinds Shopping Center on University Avenue.

Since then, Smith built Chaney’s current freestanding building at 501 Bramlett Boulevard and added a large list of new services and products. “We owned a yogurt shop a couple doors down from

Here’s the Rub Healing Hands spreads the art of massage in Oxford

By Robert Tidwell If pharmaceutical technologies became sophisticated enough to create a wonder pill that could help folks manage stress, have more energy, prevent disease, relieve pain, reduce blood pressure, improve circulation, increase range of motion, sleep more soundly, and experience less pain, then that pill would be on par with massage therapy, say the therapists at Healing Hands Therapeutic Massage in Oxford.

An Historic Art They also note that massage therapy has been around since long before modern chemical-based pharmaceuticals. Furthermore, massage therapy has never been responsible for fatal side effects, and has been around long enough for Hippocrates to have defined as “the art of rubbing.” But unlike pharmaceuticals, medical professionals have yet to accept massage therapy as a legitimate treatment that should be prescribed and covered by insurance plans.

Because of this, it is always advised to consult with your physician if you have never had a massage, says Rebecca Kelley, owner of Healing Hands.

62

Staying true to massage therapy origins, Healing Hands employs a thorough and professional initial assessment, creates a plan customized to the client’s specific needs, revisits the regimen to ensure continuous progress, and adjusts the therapy modalities as needed. Kelley says this strategy has proven effective since Healing Hands hung a shingle and opened its doors in the fall of 2011.

More Hands “When I opened Healing Hands, I was the secretary, the cleaning lady, the marketing department, the massage therapist, everything,” she says. “Those first couple months were very difficult.” She soon hired a secretary, and with Kelley enjoying the newfound ability to focus more on the massage side of the business, her clientele quickly grew to the point where she needed another therapist. In less than six months after opening her business, she welcomed Scott

Forever on a mission to become a “one-stop” source for a variety of well being products and services, Kelley recently introduced AdvoCare products to the retail line-up.

Plastic Surgery Safety Checklist Questions to ask yourself and your doctor

By Dan H. Shell IV, MD, FACS

The popularity of plastic surgery is soaring—and more and more doctors are trying to meet the demand.

66

Any licensed physician can claim to be a plastic surgeon, so the importance of making sure your doctor is properly trained and certified is paramount.

With ever increasing numbers of providers offering plastic surgery, it can be easy for the public to become confused about a doctor’s qualification.

Plastic surgery is serious and, like any operation, it carries risks.

To make sure you have the safest plastic surgery possible, here is a checklist to guide you through the process of planning for plastic surgery:

hottytoddy.com Visitors and Newcomers Guide • Dec 2013/Jan 2014

Evaluate Yourself: Prior to researching a doctor, you need to be comfortable and confident with your decision to have plastic surgery. Ask yourself, “Why—and for whom—am I looking to have this surgery performed?” Patients should be internally motivated to have a procedure. Ask yourself, “What kind of results am I expecting?” and “Is this a good time for me to have surgery?”

Check Your Doctor’s Board Certification: Determine if your physician is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery for plastic surgery of the face and all areas of the body.

This certification ensures that the surgeon has graduated from an accredited medical school and completed extensive and rigorous surgical training—usually five years of general surgery and two years of plastic surgery.

ASPS Member Surgeons meet these and other strict standards of education and experience.

Ensure that Medical Facilities are Safe: Everyone who chooses plastic surgery has the right to a safe procedure. Procedures should be administered in a setting with the necessary equipment and qualified medical personnel to observe patients and manage potential complications. The personnel should be accredited by a national or state recognized accrediting agency/organization.

Obtain a Medical Evaluation: Your general health can affect the results— and safety—of the plastic surgery procedure you choose. When considering plastic surgery, consult with your surgeon for an evaluation and a full medical history to determine what is most appropriate and advisable for you.

Be Informed: Talk about the procedure with trusted friends and family as well as your physician. When a treatment decision is made cooperatively between the physician and patient, the physician should explain the risks, benefits, alternatives and reasoning for the proposed treatment, after which an informed consent document should be signed by the patient.

Dr. Dan Shell IV is an American Board of Plastic Surgery Member Surgeon, with offices in Southaven and Oxford.

Oxford Dental Clinic makes going to the dentist easy.

by Justin Taylor

justin.taylor@hottytoddy.com

It’s one of life’s little annoyances: going to the dentist. Just the word ‘dentist’ can send chills down a person’s spine.

68

The staff at Oxford Dental Clinic on South Lamar Boulevard endeavors to change that feeling whenever a patient comes through their doors.

“Nobody wants to go to the dentist, and nobody likes being there while they are there,” says Oxford Dental Clinic Partner Walker Swaney. “But when we finish with 99% of our patients, they get up and say ‘that was easy and painless.’”

Swaney and Doctors Mike Huggins, Marc Mercier, and Clay Adams understand that patients in healthcare situ-

hottytoddy.com Visitors and Newcomers Guide • Dec 2013/Jan 2014

ations often are peeved by long waits and difficulty getting appointments.

Time for Your Teeth “We’re on time with our appointments, and we’ll work in emergencies,” Swaney says. Swaney, Originally from Holly Springs, has lived and worked in Oxford since graduating from the University of Tennessee College of Dentistry nearly 40 years ago. Swaney set up shop in Oxford because his wife, a former Ole Miss cheerleader, is an Oxonian, and Lafayette County was in need of more dentists at the time.

The government paid off Swaney’s student loans for working in Oxford three years.

Swaney Sees Advances

dence,” he says. Oxford Dental serves patients of all ages. About 20 percent are college students. Family visits make up the majority of Swaney’s practice. ”If there is a case where I think a specialist is needed, we have five great practitioners in Oxford,” Swaney says.

“But we work on 90 percent of the patients who walk through our door...

We make an extra effort to listen to people,” Swaney said. “We are always on time. We don’t have people coming in the waiting room sitting for an hour to see us. We appreciate people, we thank them for coming, and we thank them for trusting us with their family and friends.”

“The improvements have been incredible,” he says. “In the past, when we built crowns we waited a few weeks to complete the process. Now we have a machine that lets us prepare the tooth, take a picture, make the crown and put it in the same day.”

Swaney says helping people avoid pain with anesthetic improvements makes his job and the patients’ experience easier. Porcelain fillings are another material improvement over the old metal base fillings.

Swaney says dentistry has been rewarding, in helping patients develop a brighter smile. “It really changes their personalities because of added confi-
