Letter from the Publisher

“The only way to make sense out of change is toplunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.”–Alan Watts

Here we are in a brand new year –2015.

I was born in 1979. Growing up I canhonestly say that if anyone mentioned theyear 2015, I would have immediatelythought of the late '80s cartoon, “The Jet-sons.” Back then, a year like this seemedeons away.

I remember hearing adults say thingslike, “the older you get, the faster timeflies,” but as a kid, I couldn’t understand.It seemed back then as if Christmas tookyears to get here. A year dragged slowlyby.

Not anymore. Now that I’m an adult, I understand ex-

actly what they were talking about. I findthat time really does seem to pass bymuch more quickly now. It’s ironic that,when you’re a kid, all you want to do ishurry things up. Then, as an adult, youfind yourself wanting to slow things downa bit.

But, that is one thing we simply cannotdo.

Last year was a good one. Like so manyothers, I become reflective as the calendar

comes to an end. I think about all that Iwas able to accomplish and the things Ihave yet to accomplish. The start of anew year is an exciting time!

It is my hope that we all have a safe andhealthy year ahead. Even if nothing excit-ing happens, if you have your health, itwill be a great year. I am so grateful for2014 and look forward to the new yearwith which we have been blessed.

The start of this year brings with it ourninth anniversary. It’s hard to believe ithas been that long. I want to thank every-one who read “Moultrie Magazine” thispast year, all of our loyal advertisers thatsupported us and everyone who helped tomake each of our issues the best it couldbe.

As with any new year, this one brings itsown changes, and we are no exception tothe rule. After five years as our managingeditor, Heath Croft is leaving us to pursuebigger and better things as he finishes an-other graduate degree from ValdostaState University. Heath has been a vitalpart of our success and instrumental insome of the biggest changes we havemade along this almost decade-long jour-ney, including our new logo that we intro-duced in January 2013. I have knownHeath since we were kids when we at-tended the same church. He’s one of thebest editors I have worked with, and he’sa heck of a writer, too. His contributionsto this publication will be sorely missed.Please join me in wishing him the verybest in his new endeavors, wherever theymight lead.

We have big plans for 2015, so be ready.Thank you sincerely for your continuedsupport. Here we go!

No one ever said that horsing around has to be a bad thing.

The Colquitt County Saddle Club gives local residents who love

horses a chance to enjoy their favorite four-legged friends.

Mac Walters, the club’s president, says it was formed in 2011

after he found that no such outlets were available in the county. A

saddle club had once existed here but had been inactive for al-

most two decades. At its first meeting, the club set up a board of

directors, but every decision has been made democratically since

that initial meeting up to today. With each decision made by pop-

ular vote, each member has an input into what the club decides to

do as a whole.

According to Walters, the group reflects a variety of ages. He

says its members run the gamut from less than two-years-old to a

member entering an eighth decade.

The saddle club is a Christian-based organization, and Walters

says the club honors God in all its activities. The horses and

shows provide an opportunity for the kids to go outside and into

the fresh air instead of remaining inside with no outdoor activi-

ties.

As a part of the Georgia Federation of Saddle Clubs, Walters

says it is a gateway club, which opens the door for its members to

make progress in their talent for those with hopes of becoming

professional riders someday. It also provides the means for profes-

sional riders to join those who aren’t as familiar with riding at

local events.

“We are a big old family,” says Walters.

The club continues to grow, Walters says. According to him, its

growth has been so monumental that the organization has been

forced into a larger arena than the one they had originally used at

the site of the Sunbelt Agricultural Exposition.

Before outgrowing that arena, Walters says that members

worked to refurbish it using prefabricated materials from Texas.

The saddle club currently meets at the Triple-H arena on Sum-

ner Road, but Walters says that members hope to have an arena

built especially for them. He has petitioned the Colquitt County

Board of Commissioners to rebuild a dismantled arena, and State

Representative Sam Watson has offered to help. Watson says he

isn’t sure if state funding is available for this type of project but is

willing to pursue it when legislators are back in session.

For many of the club’s members, being associated with the

group is a tremendous part of their lives.

AnnaClaire Saunders says she gets so much from being part

of the organization. In addition to helping teach her responsibility,

she says she feels like a part of a family.

“I would rather be riding horses than being at school,” Saunders

says.

Montana Hall says the club has taught her both responsibility

and discipline. By spending time at practice, feeding and watering

her horse, Hall says she doesn’t have the time left to get involved in

less beneficial activities. And, she says that she hopes to stay in the

club for a long time to come.

“If (the club) is taken from me,” Hall says, “I don’t know what I’d

do.”

Lauren Spradley says the club has given her the opportunity to

win awards for her riding. She says that she wants people to get in-

volved in a group such as the saddle club because it can teach them

the importance of being part of a team. Lainey McRae

“This is like life to all of us,”Spradley says. “It means a lotto me to have someone thatcan back me up througheverything.”


“This is like life to all of us,” Spradley

says. “It means a lot to me to have some-

one that can back me up through every-

thing.”

Blake Richter says the club is great and

that he doesn’t want to be doing anything

else. He says the club has given him a

great opportunity to meet people. And, ac-

cording to Richter, there is another, more

important benefit.

“I like that I can come and ride with all

of these pretty girls,” he says.

Some parents say they have also seen the

benefits associated with their children

being involved in an organization like the

Colquitt County Saddle Club.

Amy Dalton says the club allows her

children to be involved in something fun

despite their not being athletic. She says

she has seen so much improvement in her

children by watching them work much

harder, set goals and gain self-confidence.

The club’s secretary, Deanna Spradley,

says that, as a parent, she likes the fact that

her children have the opportunity to have

an organization like this one as part of

their lives.

Teresa Hall says the saddle club helps in

keeping the children grounded and allows

them to find their own place in the com-

munity and in life.

“(The children’s) future is in this county,”

Hall says. “They will become the leaders

in this community.”

Anyone who has an interest in horses is encouragedto participate in the saddle club. For more informa-tion on the Colquitt County Saddle Club, visit theorganization’s website at www.colquittcountysad-dleclub.com or like them on Facebook.

As we plan for our golden

years, we often dream of

uncomplicated things: a

cozy retirement, successful

children, healthy grandchildren and the

companionship of our friends and family.

Among the possessions held most dear

should be a lifetime of memories – treas-

ures that we can look back upon with a

smile and stories that we can share in

laughter or tears with those whom love has

tied us to the strongest. But, when memory

loss invades our lives in the form of

Alzheimer’s, the most common type of de-

mentia, those recollections so easily taken

for granted can become difficult or even

impossible to recall.

The newly-rechristened Legacy Village

at Park Regency in Moultrie has

made memory care one of its foundational

efforts in the treatment of its elderly resi-

dents, and with exclusive new and uncon-

ventional ideas, is seeing incredible results.

The memory-care program is based on

research, medical science and the experi-

ence of compassionate caretakers who

have worked with Alzheimer’s patients for

years.

Legacy Village at Park Regency feels less

like a medical facility and more like a

sprawling vacation home. Residents are

encouraged to stroll along the halls and

gardens, catch their favorite television

show or to sit and enjoy a novel from one

of the well-stocked bookshelves.

The gardens and outside spaces are cen-

tral to the complex, both figuratively and

literally. There are secure areas that offer

access to fresh air and sunlight, plants,

comfortable seating and walking paths.

Much care is taken to ensure that those

suffering from memory loss are able to re-

main as independent as possible, while still

feeling safe and secure in familiar sur-

roundings.

This ideal setting includes a porch that

offers views of local wildlife, but until re-

cently, the view was obscured by metal

bars for the safety of residents who might

wander too far or accidentally fall.

In March 2014, former Executive Direc-

tor Janet Sheldon took her concerns to

Those residents who are able are encouraged to excercise on the porch while enjoying the view.

McLendon says the metal silhouette is just one of many renovations coming soon to the memory-care units.

den at Colquitt Regional Medical Center.

Tucker recommended local metalworker

Larry Arrington.

According to Sheldon, she wanted resi-

dents to be able to take in the fresh air and

natural scenery surrounding the porch

without feeling ensnared by the bars. Her

idea was to build a functional piece of art

– a metal silhouette of trees with organic

shapes that would provide both the neces-

sary safety and a lovely view.

“They’re able to wander and roam and

go as they please in a safe environment,”

says Jennifer McLendon, the facility’s new

executive director. After four years as the

director of business development at

Camellia Gardens of Life Care in

Thomasville, McLendon took over the

helm at Park Regency at the beginning of

2015. She says the metal trees provide a

secure enclosure without causing residents

to feel confined “in a world where they are

trapped anyway in their own mind.”

McLendon says those who suffer with

Alzheimer’s can still have a good quality

of life if they are in the right place with

people who know how to care for them.

Arrington’s 95-year-old mother resides at

Legacy Village at Park Regency. Jane

King, Sheldon’s mother, is also a resident.

It is through a vested interest in making

both their mothers’ homes as pleasant as

possible that a truly unique collaboration

was born.

“Janet was the main player in that,” says

Arrington. “She really deserves the

credit.” Arrington has been welding for 30

years, but he says this is technically the

first piece of art that he’s created.

Artist Randy Gibbs sketched out the

basic shape of the trees while Sheldon and

Arrington worked out the details of mak-

ing the artwork secure and attractive.

The installation was completed last fall.

“The difference it has made is truly unbelievable,” says Lynn Clark.


“The difference it has made is truly unbelievable,” says LynnClark, a retired educator whose mother suffers with dementia andhas lived at Park Regency for almost six years. Clark is the formerdirector of pre-k and elementary education curriculum for ColquittCounty. She retired in May 2014.

“The artistic design is amazing,” Clark says. She says it meanseven more to her knowing that it was created by a Moultrian. And,while Arrington says there is no comparison to the metal bars thatstood before, he is reticent when it comes to the acclaim.

“If it has helped,” Arrington says, “I am certainly glad of it.”

Legacy Village at Park Regency is located at 3000 Veterans Parkway South. For

January - February - March 201518

Deric Dickens’ jazz rebirth beganon an average late grad-schoolmorning when his roommate en-

tered their dorm room in a fluster. The frantic jazz bassist needed a replace-

ment drummer by that same night and hisonly hope was Dickens, a percussionistwho tended to play in a classical style.

“He asked if I could play the ting ta ta tingta ta ting jazz ride cymbal pattern for about45 minutes during rehearsal,” Dickenssays.

That moment changed him forever.“I sat down and all the stuff that I’d lis-

tened to and been introduced to came out,and it was like ‘holy crap, I’m pretty goodat this,’” says Dickens. That “stuff ” in-cluded a collaboration of Moultrie memo-ries: a mix tape of “fusiony” jazz gifted byhis high-school band director and theWeather Report album he was advised toblast while alone in his childhoodhome.

His roommate’s band memberscouldn’t believe their ears.

“Halfway through, they looked upand asked if I was sure that I wasn’ta jazz major,” he says. “It was oddbecause it came so easy.”

The now Brooklyn-based percus-sionist/composer credits his journeyinto jazz with his foundation inMoultrie and Colquitt County—a place he describes as a miniatureNew York City.

“Going into middle school, thelocal private school had disbanded,so the richest went to school withthe poorest,” says Dickens. “I’mhere today because of the opportuni-ties I had and the people I got to hang outwith who showed me that there is a biggerworld.”

“Deric was one of those students thatevery teacher would love to have in theirband program,” says Dr. Richard McLen-don, former band director for ColquittCounty High School. “I remember meet-ing him in the eighth grade, and he an-nounced to me that he intended to be amusicologist.”

One of Dickens’ early influences wasJohn Norman. The two met during aprom-dance gig at Sunset Country Club.Dickens was setting up his equipment for

the show as Norman was preparing toleave. After a brief exchange and an im-promptu drum solo on the hood of Nor-man’s van, the musicians traded phonenumbers, and their musical collaborationbegan.

Shortly after their initial meeting, Nor-man says he invited Dickens to join himand his fellow musician Roger Hall on thedrums. It wasn’t long before the newly-formed group was traveling to Valdosta toplay gigs at restaurants and bars.

“Deric told me that he was going to be aband director in Bainbridge, and so Ithought I’d always have a drummer Icould count on,” Norman jokes, “but thenhe double crossed me when he graduatedfrom Valdosta and went off to graduateschool in Tennessee.”

Dickens also credits his voracious musi-cal appetite with Moultrie’s “super hip”

band, choir and theater programs, whichas he says, always gave him a place to be.

Charner Rouse, a network analyst in Al-bany, Ga., was one of Dickens’ earliestband mates. The two were members ofWhat Naught along with Wilson Sheldonin the 1990s.

“It was the three of us that started thatband,” says Rouse. “That was really thecore group there.” Dickens would latershare the stage with Andy Strange andJason Tucker.

Rouse describes Dickens as a first-stringAll-American while he and the othermembers were more like junior-varsity

players. He says that Dickens is in a leagueof his own musically.

“He could play just about any instru-ment he wanted to,” says Rouse.

Dickens says his parents recognized hispotential.

“I was an only child, and I alwaysbegged for another sibling,” he says.“They didn’t give me the brother or sisterI wanted, but my dad, who was a bit ofRenaissance man, built my first sound sys-tem.”

Guilford Dickens says he only did whatany responsible parent should do.

“You want to help your children no mat-ter what,” he says. “It’s just something youneed to do.” He says that he recognizedhis son’s passion at a young age and, al-though he knew nothing about music him-self, Guilford Dickens says he encouragedhis son’s talent the best way he knew how

– by combing through photos frommagazines and getting to work.

“He could and did make whatever Ineeded for music,” says Deric Dickens.

McLendon, an aspiring television andfilm-score producer, predicted a daz-zling future for the high-school student,and he agrees that Dickens’ parentswere crucial to his early successes.

“Deric’s mom was always visible withthe band boosters and helping out withactivities whether it was for footballgames or big trips,” says McLendon.“She was very involved and very sup-portive of things she knew would helpher son.”

Dickens’ compass was clearly pointednorth as an early adult.

“When Mom asked if I wanted a highschool graduation ring, I asked her to getme a snare drum instead,” he says, “andthat’s just what she did.”

“We even offered to buy him a car,”Guilford Dickens says. “His priorities weremusic.”

Following his studies at Valdosta StateUniversity and the University of Ten-nessee, Dickens played gigs throughoutKnoxville with the likes of jazz pianistDonald Brown, cornet player Kirk Knuf-fke and Columbia Records artistRobinella. Dickens has also had the rareopportunity to play with a 40-piece studioorchestra and a 280-member choir.

Dickens designed the cover for his 2013 sophomore album.

“It’s paid off for him,” says Norman. “Icheck up on him on Facebook, and he’smaking all kinds of connections and doingall sorts of different things.”

“He’s got the talent, persistence and littlebit of luck to be very successful,” Normansays, “and that’s cool for me.

Although clearly musically inclined,

Dickens is exploring another creative out-let – designing album covers. In additionto his own albums, Dickens has designedseveral covers for other artists. He occa-sionally takes classes at Parsons The NewSchool for Design. Scott Angel, his partnerof five years, is an adjunct professor thereand director of technical design for a

global fashion brand. Angel says that aperson who is gifted in one artistic aspectcan usually ease into another.

“They play together quite equally in hismind,” says Angel. He says that Dickenshad an idea of how he wanted his albumcovers to be done and worked towards cre-ating that vision.

Dickens started working in Astoria, aneighborhood in the borough of Queens,in 2008 to cement his place in the world of21st century jazz.

Two grants from the National Endow-ment for the Arts and a close friendshipwith Grammy Award-winning drummerMatt Wilson afforded his relocation to

Brooklyn.He credits Dr. Bill Brown with teaching

him that time is of the essence. In summer1993, Brown was coaching a men’s soccerleague at the YMCA. Dickens says hewanted to join but had no athletic prowess.Instead of suggesting that he postponeplaying, Brown convinced him to take the

plunge. Dickens says it was this advice thathe remembered when he began consider-ing a move to the Big Apple.

Dr. Brown practiced in Moultrie for twodecades and died of liver cancer in 1998.

“Bill thought the world of him,” saysJane Brown, widow of the late physician.

Dickens’ two albums, “Speed Date” and

“When Mom asked if I wanted a high school grad-uation ring, I asked her to get me a snare drum in-stead and that’s just what she did,” Dickens notes.

“Oh Lovely Appearance,” and his nomination for a 2014“Drum!” Rising Star award prove that he has made his mark oncontemporary jazz.

He, however, is rather humble about his accomplishments. “I’ve said absolutely nothing yet, but I feel like I have a lot to

say,” Dickens insists. “I haven’t even begun.” In the next six months, he will co-create a staggering five al-

bums with his own band, The Dickens Campaign, and will workwith bassist Linda Oh and saxophonist Brad Linde on a collectiveproject. His says his goal is to attract a new generation of jazzfans by creating cool tunes that connect with listeners.

“I love melodies, says Dickens. “Melody is what the audiences

hook onto, something you can leave the show whistling.” Dickens still visits Moultrie from time to time when he’s not

touring the East Coast, composing music or working at MaxwellVintage Drums in Manhattan. When he’s back here at home,you’re likely to find him wandering down a country road search-ing for inspiration and reconnecting with his inner improviser.

“Jazz has always been there, and I’ve always played it,” he says.“The more artistic, creative side caught me later, but these thingshappen when they’re supposed to.”

Rouse says the fact that Dickens has followed his passion is whatmakes him a true musician and separates him from someone whoplays music.

“He can’t do anything else,” Rouse says. “He doesn’t want to doanything else.”

Dickens’ albums are available on iTunes. Check him out online at www.der-icdickens.com or follow him on Twitter and Instagram @dericdickens.

“He’s got the talent,persistence and little bitof luck to be very suc-cessful,” Norman says,“and that’s cool for me.”

As the owner of a growing downtown business and thecaptain of an expanding staff, I am spending more andmore of my time working on leadership development

with my team. In recent conversations, we have discussed the con-cept of putting the “big rocks” in our schedules first.

This illustration was made popular by Dr. Stephen R. Covey inhis book, “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.” He uses ajar to illustrate a person’s life or schedule. The things that demandour time are represented by big rocks, smaller rocks and sandwith the size indicating their perceived importance to us. Highlyeffective people identify the highest priorities (big rocks) in theirlives and put them in the jar or on the schedule first. Afterward,they fill the remaining space with smaller rocks and sand until thejar is full. If done in reverse order, life would be filled to the topwith little things that don’t matter, and the big rocks wouldn’thave space to fit while going neglected and undone.

The “big rocks” conversation has happened with my manage-ment team because I want to make sure they’re thinking strategi-cally about their lives, ensuring that the most important things aregetting top priority. The big rocks that I had in mind were thingslike dinner around the table with family, intentional personalgrowth on the physical, mental and spiritual levels and being afaithful and available friend. I first learned these concepts whileserving as a youth pastor in a large, leadership-oriented churchand have been implementing them at varied levels for years. I canpull up my online calendars for my office time, music lessons andpersonal schedule. Heck, I even have future hiking trips on mycalendar!

I once had a mentor tell me that I was a little unusual. Weird,really, because I am a creative person who also enjoys detail-ori-ented work and has at least some amount of business sense. Theold stereotype of a musician or artist is that of a shallow andflighty hippie with a short attention span. My friend felt that I wasan oddity because I enjoy both writing a song and working up abudget. My opinion is that anyone who likes working on a budget

is weird, songwriter or not!As I recently reviewed the big rocks I have scheduled into my

life, I had a strange realization: my pulse can help me determinewhat my priorities should be. No, I’m not talking about my cho-lesterol or cardiovascular health. I realized that, for years, my bigrocks have been pretty boring rocks. They were utilitarian rocks,duties that had to be done for the sake of survival, but few ofthem really moved me on a deeper level. (Yes, this is the emo-tional musician part of my identity coming out.) Over the years, Ihave discovered things in life that made me feel alive, that mo-mentarily took my breath away and made my pulse quicken.They can be new experiences with my wife and kids, a spiritualdiscussion with a friend that makes me see God from a differentangle, and most recently, a beautiful vista that can only be seenafter hiking in the forest for miles. These are the things that makemy life… well, alive.

As I reviewed my big rocks, I was haunted by Emilio Estevez’sline from “The Way,” as he argues with his well-meaning andlevel-headed father just before leaving to hike the Camino DeSantiago…“You don’t choose a life, Dad. You live one.”

Was I choosing a life or living a life? Or was I letting my life (orlack thereof) choose me? I love my business, but had I lost some-thing beneath the mountain of spreadsheets, emails, purchase or-ders and tax filings?

Another quote that haunted me was from “Over the Top” by ZigZiglar…“I don’t care how bad my life is, I don’t care how good my life is, there issomething I can do to change it - and the choice is mine.”

Who put those big rocks on my calendar? I did. Who told methat I didn’t have time to enjoy beauty, be creative, or have spiri-tual conversations? I did. I realized in that moment that I neededto get my heart rate up. I needed to prioritize the experiences thatmade me feel alive.

And what did I do with this newfound clarity?I sat in my front-porch swing with my trusty old acoustic and

wrote a song. Actually, two songs. Then I listened to a record fromone of my favorite bands. A real record, the kind that is black, cir-cular and groovy. Then I visited my online retailer of choice andmade a wish list of records I wanted to add to my vinyl collection.And finally, I bought one.

Of course, I want to do big things like travel to exotic places andwrite a book. However, right now, some of the most accessibleways for me to climb out from under my pile of boring rocks are towrite beautiful songs and listen to beautiful records. After all, I gotinto this business because the 15-year-old me received a guitar anda few lessons for Christmas and started writing songs. Suddenly,the teenager that I was had a new definition for himself.

I have often questioned the real value ofart and music in culture. Sure, we holdthese things dear, but how can I choose tospend my time writing a song instead ofdoing something that seems more practi-cal, like organizing my office or selling aproduct? What makes listening to goodmusic a big rock in my schedule?

First of all, I want to actually live thehuman experience, not just to survive it.Secondly, I want to expose my children tothings in which I know they will findmeaning and identity. (Really, I want totrain them to identify truly good musicand learn early in life that the best stuffnever gets played on the radio.) Thirdly, Iwant to add my own hues to the palettethat colors someone’s perception of theworld, whether that happens through myoriginal tunes, music that I recommend orconversations about stuff that matters. As Iget older and watch the folks I care aboutget older too, I am becoming painfullyaware that I have a limited amount oftime to do the things that matter to me. Afriend once taught me the things that getscheduled are the things that get done, soif it really matters it needs to go on theschedule.

I guess I need to schedule some time towrite songs. And get in more hikes. Also,playing some shows in coffee shops (otherthan my own) should get a spot on the cal-endar, too. Next comes that long-distancetrip and the outline for my book!

St. Irenaeus was on to something whenhe said, “The glory of God is man fullyalive.” What are the things that make yourheart rate rise? Where do you find a senseof purpose or perhaps a moment of claritythat inspires the conviction that this iswhat you were intended to do? For me, itstarts with songwriting and records, butI’m a musician who attributes great valueto beautiful melodies and smart lyrics. Per-haps you feel fully alive when teaching,talking or tinkering. No one else has to as-sign value to your passion, and you don’tnecessarily have to pay the bills with it; allthat matters is that it breathes life intoyour days. When you are living life, insteadof simply choosing it, you will inspire lifein others. Really, you’re doing us all a dis-

service if you are denying yourself the ex-periences that bring you perfect joy.

Join me in considering the big rocks inyour life, and don’t settle for boring ones.Put some life on your calendar, even if youfind it in things as simple as songwritingand records.

Music, in particular, has a funny way ofstirring the soul. Our community is full oftalented musicians who work hard at theirart. More and more local businesses areproviding a platform for live music, whichis happening most weekends somewhere inMoultrie. Look for a show and make it apriority to go. Find songwriters who aresharing their original art and be sure tosupport them. A great place to start isLocal Live, a singer-songwriter showcase

hosted by Beans & Strings on the secondSaturday of each month. You might con-sider learning to play an instrument orwriting songs yourself, but remember onething: if it gets scheduled, it gets done. Soif it’s important, it needs to go on theschedule!

Eric Foster-Whiddon is the owner of Beans &Strings, a music school with a full-service espressobar on the square in historic downtown Moultrie.As a songwriter, educator and business owner, headvocates for local music, music education anddowntown Moultrie.
