ello, 280 area!

Glenn Frey | Glenn.Frey@LifestylePubs.com

I hope you have had a fun, relaxing and enriching summer vacation. Now that school has resumed I trust you are ready for some football.

Although summer does not officially end until Friday, September 22, for most of us, it can feel as if it ended in early August. School is back in session, and hectic family schedules now rule the week.

This month's publication of Two Eighty Lifestyle proves that the state of Alabama, and more specifically this 280 area, not only produces championship football teams but also produces top-notch businesses. In this publication, we spotlight area high school football programs with our coverage of the local teams as well as a fourth-generation family business that over time has "evolved into a premier regional family farm resort available for corporate retreats, leisure getaways, Orvis sporting clays and weddings."

In addition, we also highlight and feature one of our areas top dermatology groups, The Skin Wellness Center of Alabama. Here you will find a group offering cutting-edge skin care and dermatology services to patients in the 280 area as well as all of Birmingham through their two locations.

In closing, I hope you get as much pleasure reading about these great businesses as we did in putting together this publication. Once again, it has validated my belief that, in the Two Eighty area, we are surrounded by some amazingly good and talented people doing tremendous things within their organizations. So, happy reading, and, whoever that favorite team happens to be, I think we can all rejoice in the fact that once again, it is finally FOOTBALL TIME!

SKIN WELLNESS CENTER ARTICLE HALEY ISBELL,

MARKETING DIRECTOR

But instead of seeing an obstacle, Dr. Corey L. Hartman, M.D., saw an opportunity in 2016 and opened the second Skin Wellness Center location in Chelsea, Alabama.

“After not only seeing the growth on that end of Highway 280 but also the need in that market, it was a no-brainer to open a second location," Hartman says. "We took a hard look at our patient base and listened to what that data was telling us. People were driving from that area in droves for their dermatology needs. We wanted to make our services easily accessible for those patients as well as capitalize on the lack of options in the area. We were happy to be the ones to bring medical, pediatric and cosmetic dermatology to Chelsea.”

Hartman, founder and medical director of the Skin Wellness Center of Alabama in Birmingham, Alabama, currently serves as assistant clinical professor of dermatology at the University of Alabama School of Medicine. Joined by Dr. Rayna Dyck, Dr. Deborah Youhn and nurse practitioner Brittany Rigsby, the Skin Wellness provider team is extremely sensitive to the delicate balance between aesthetic and medical dermatology.

“We know the importance of specialized training, advanced techniques and state-of-the-art technologies," Hartman says. "Our

medical dermatology care focuses on preventing skin problems, early detection and effective treatment options. When you visit for careful evaluation and the best solutions to conditions such as acne, dermatitis, eczema, psoriasis, rosacea or skin cancer, you will receive the highest level of compassionate care.”

To keep you looking as great as you feel, Skin Wellness also specializes in cosmetic dermatology and provides the latest skin rejuvenation and anti-aging treatments like neuromodulators (Botox), dermal fillers, resurfacing treatments, laser therapy, top-quality skin care products and much more.

You’ll find the atmosphere calming and peaceful at the Skin Wellness Center, located in both Homewood and Chelsea.

Each dermatologist takes the time to understand your medical situation and aesthetic goals to provide a customized skin wellness plan meant just for our most important patient – you!

“We pride ourselves on individualized care," Hartman says.

"Our motto is 'Healthy Skin is Beyond Beautiful,’ so whether you’re here for a skin check or a laser treatment, our goal is for patients to be healthy and happy in their own skin.”

BRIARWOOD CHRISTIAN HIGH SCHOOL LIONS These Birmingham Lions like to roar. Briarwood Christian High School's varsity football teams have won multiple state titles. They currently are coached by Fred Yancey, who is second on the list of all-time winningest Alabama high school head coaches. One of the key elements to success for the football teams at this school appears to be quality athletes with great hearts and attitudes.

"To have a successful season, several things have to fall into place: You have to have talented athletes who like to play football, along with terrific coaches," says Fred, who last year led the Lions to an overall 12-2 record and regional 7-0 count. The team celebrated a 12-game winning streak, losing only the opening and last games.

Fred says he's been blessed with outstanding assistant coaches over his entire career.

"I lean heavily on our coaches to work together to be as good as we can be," he says.

Indeed, Briarwood's coaches include previous Super Bowl NFL competitors, prior Briarwood players, as well as former players from the University of Alabama, Auburn University, Southern Methodist University and the University of South Alabama.

Strengths for this team's upcoming season, as assessed by Fred, are the core linebackers and veteran secondary defensive backs.

"This season, we have a new quarterback," he says. "His capacity is unproven because he hasn't gotten a lot of play time in the past.

But he's a real competitor as one of our top baseball and basketball athletes, and we like his potential."

The coach says he believes the Lions will be strong this season, but he also thinks all of the teams in the region will be much stronger this year, "from top to bottom." He says there were several young teams in the mix Photography by Todd Kwarcinski

SPAIN SPAIN PARK HIGHPARK SCHOOL JAGUARS HIGH SCHOOL JAGUARS It's a bit of a wildcard year for Hoover's Spain Park High School Jaguar varsity football team, coming off of not having a football field on which to practice during the summer and graduating a significant number of seniors last school year.

Jaguar Stadium was closed for months to install new field turf and track surfaces.

"You don't appreciate turf until you don't have it," Spain Park Head Football Coach Shawn Raney, says. "We've been rolling around in the mud this summer, with as wet as it

was on our grass fields. But we've got a good group, and we're focusing on consistency."

Thinking about the recent 8-3 season, Shawn says this likely will be a building year, but the goal is always to do better and win at least one more game than last season.

"We have three returning starters on offense and three on defense," he says. "I'm especially proud of this senior class because they may not have gotten to play as much as they wanted to in past seasons, but they stuck with it. This should be their year!"

Spain Park has 26 seniors on this year's varsity football; 32 seniors graduated last year. Many of last season's seniors began as starters when they were sophomores.

"So, they basically had three years of football built around them," Shawn, the Jaguars coach of the past five years, says.

Five of those former seniors signed to play football in college: Douglas Henze at Harvard, Damon Wright at Mississippi College, Will Mullins at Gardner-Webb, Hunter Howell at Samford University and Thomas Jordan at Centre College.

Shawn says he and the other 10 football coaches have spent the summer studying tactics at colleges in Arkansas and Georgia, as well as attending coaching clinics and hosting student camps.

"Spain Park is outstanding, and our students are well-rounded, as athletes, academically and socially," he says. "It's a lot of fun to coach here, and their parents step up and support us throughout the year."

OAK MOUNTAIN HIGH SCHOOL EAGLES Photography by Nancy Pierce

Cris Bell enters his sixth season as the head coach at Oak Mountain High School in Birmingham. He's always said he likes challenges and last football season presented several. In 2016, the Eagles varsity team started with three straight losses before winning three of four in the middle of the season and closing with three other losses. This year’s schedule will be tough again for the mix of senior and younger players, as they square off against the same teams, but will switch home and away games.

Cris admits it's such a strong football region, there is little margin for errors. However, this head coach is feeling optimistic about this year's potential.

"In the off-season, we evaluated what we were doing," Cris, who took responsibility for not maintaining as much overall confidence as was possible for players throughout last year, says. "But we've got guys who want to be there on the field, and this season, they have a renewed sense of purpose about them."

Cris and his nine assistant varsity football coaches believe this season's football players are taking ownership of the program, and buying into ambitious objectives.

"We made tangible decisions and moves regarding the way we're doing things, and we're being more intentional about leadership," he says.

On paper, he says they have skilled players at playmaker and offensive line spots, with a new replacement quarterback.

"We struggled defensively last season, but if we can catch a couple of breaks, I think we'll do well," Cris says.

He says it was time for the football program to grow and develop, so that's what they did.

"We're all feeling like we have something to prove."

Hoover's 2017 state championship celebration.

Varsity head football coach Josh Niblett and his 10 assistant varsity coaches will be defending a 7-0 conference record—and they expect success. The Buccaneers again will compete against regional teams throughout the Birmingham metro area; nonregion games are comprised of schools outside of Alabama. Last year's overall record was 8-2-0.

Hoover's players are eager to play on their brand-new turf after the stadium was closed this summer for renovation.

The Bucs' "dynasty" comes from winning five state titles in nine seasons. No doubt, the school community takes football seriously, evidenced by when in 2015, Josh became the highest-paid high school football coach in Alabama, earning $125,000 per year. He also provides weight training at the school, into which he's injected new mental and safety features he believes are being carried into Photography by Kevin Brooks

how the players perform. This fall will be his 21st season as a head football coach in Alabama.

"We have high expectations of ourselves, year in and year out with the goal of getting better by 1 percent every day," he says.

He says the team is coming off of a great summer of accelerated learning, and that this team has good chemistry. He's looking for those players who will be "difference makers" as they face one of the toughest schedules in the country.

"Our goal is to make changes to ensure the right people are in the right spots, and that we have the best 11 guys out on the field at all times," he says.

Josh says momentum will be key, and that their goal is to dictate each game.

"We're a little young on the back end, but if we control the box and come out strong and early on defense, we can build on our strengths," he says. "We've got the skill, speed and flexibility."

He says there's a bit of competition among quarterbacks this season. "But they're pushing each other up, and we'll try to get the ball into the hands of all of our receivers."

"Football is always changing, and we're focused on building great athletes who have the tools to explode at the right times," Josh says. We like the dynamics for this season."

CHELSEA HIGH SCHOOL HORNETS Photography by Cari Dean

Chris Elmore enters his fifth season as head coach of the Hornets varsity football team in Chelsea. Rolling off an 8-3 overall record, he says this year's team of patient, former juniors will be looking to push extra hard to show what they can do, now that it's their time to shine as seniors.

"With 24 seniors graduating last school year, it's almost like starting with a new team," says Chris, who quickly adds that he's got confidence in them and is eager to see how they respond to the opportunities.

"Most of this year's 27 seniors just haven't been put in the fire yet. Their potential is unknown because they've haven't yet had the playing time on the field, but they've put in the work for the past couple of years," says the coach who's been watching them develop since eighth grade.

VISIT US Chris says this football team is one of the smartest, most humble set of students they've had, and that they coped with "the wait" really well. He says he's eager for them to get their chance.

Chris and his assistant coaches handled football camp a little differently this summer by incorporating SafeFootball instructors and techniques from the program developed by retired NFL players. The goal is to teach players how to "take the head out of the game," thus minimizing the risk of concussions. He also explains the emphasis has been on being more physically balanced, coming to center balance during plays and using the most powerful muscles: hips, butts and legs.

avid and Ellen Pursell smile as they think of the weddings celebrated at Pursell Farms. Weddings for their son and two daughters

were hosted at the farm, as were the nuptials for numerous friends. With an increasing number of guests choosing the farm for their special day, it seemed only natural to create a wedding venue.

For the many golfers, attendees of corporate retreats and sports enthusiasts who’ve visited the farm over the years, this may come as a surprise. After all, the resort’s 3,200 acres are home to the FarmLinks golf course, a Hurdzan-Fry design consistently rated GolfWeek’s No. 1 all-access course in Alabama; a high-tech conference center; the South’s only Orvis Shooting Grounds; and handsome, spacious accommodations housed in cabins, cottages and a 14,000-square-foot lodge.

Even so, the Pursells were committed to their concept: to present bridal couples with unrivaled indoor and outdoor settings, and make the venue second to none in convenience and versatility. How that concept would translate into a finished physical product was an unknown.

“We had land and scenic views, and had hosted some great weddings at the farm, but to build a new venue from the ground up we needed to hear from the customer,” David Pursell, CEO of Pursell Farms, says. “We talked with brides and grooms, met with professional event planners and learned about the ways bridal couples want to celebrate their weddings today. It was an education.”

Millennial couples are customizing their ceremonies, foregoing traditional hotel ballrooms and country clubs, and opting for locales that reflect their personalities and individual style. Indoor and outdoor locations, natural surroundings, scenic views, light-filled interior spaces and ease of bringing their dreams to reality were key factors.

“We carved out an extensive lawn, set aside space for a patio and garden, then situated the new Hamilton Place ballroom to take advantage of views and have proximity to these venues,” David says. “We added special touches, such as an isle in the lake to create a natural stage for the bride and groom. The result is 22 acres designed specifically for weddings and celebrations.”

Locally Owned (CON TI N U ED) Couples may pledge their vows in the Hamilton Place ballroom with a garden-view bay window framing the couple, lakeside on the ceremonial lawn and isle or under a canopy of twinkling stars at the patio and formal gardens.

All locations plus the Spring House Spa are connected by gently winding walkways. Ample parking is adjacent to the venue, with the option of valet parking or attendants to whisk guests from the parking lot to the ballroom via golf cart.

The design of Hamilton Place, the 4,600-square-foot air-conditioned main building and ballroom, was influenced by Tidewater Colonial architecture, a less formal style that was used for important residences following the Georgian period. The style was chosen for its compatibility with the existing surroundings and its elegance appropriate to significant occasions.

The living room is appointed with furnishings, art and antiques reflective of a fine Southern home. A stately fireplace with a surround of famed Alabama white marble is the room’s focal point and is already a favorite spot for arriving guests to snap a photo.

The light-filled ballroom features a creamy white color palette, 20-foot vaulted clapboard ceilings with skylights, graceful 7-foot crystal and aged bronze chandeliers, and an oversized bay window facing the formal gardens. Handsome oak hardwood floors throughout are reclaimed, resawn wood from Avondale Mills, which operated in the area for 106 years. A glass-walled porch spans the length of the ballroom, offering panoramic views of the lawn, lake and the mountain beyond.

“The ballroom feels historic and natural without being rustic; sophisticated without being formal,” says Ellen, who also led the design of the farm’s clubhouse, cabin, cottage and lodge interiors. “Although the palette is soft and easily adaptable to colors and themes, the interior is beautiful on its own. Brides don’t need a huge budget for décor to have a lovely ceremony or reception here.”

An iconic setting for an outdoor ceremony, the ceremonial lawn and Isle creates a memorable vignette for seated guests. The extensive lawn may also be staged for receptions and seated dinners, with ample room for live music and tents. The patio and formal gardens are designed for luncheons, dinners or pre-dinner cocktails prior to a reception in the grand ballroom. The space may be tented, or enjoyed in the open air.

WHAT’S NEXT AT PURSELL FARMS? THE INN, OPENING FIRST QUARTER 2018.

The three-story, country estate-styled Inn will feature a signature restaurant, sports bar, sparkling pool and peaceful views of scenic meadows and wooded foothills. The Inn’s 40 guest rooms and suites will offer a mix of king or double queen beds, and suites will open to verandas. The interior design will reflect the farm’s Southern heritage, with a color palette that complements the natural beauty of the surroundings.
