ne of the only Northside Sun subjects to

admit to taking a cigarette break before the inter-

view, Catherine Carter Sullivan has a smoker’s

laugh that almost makes one want to pick up the

habit. She doesn’t have a smoker’s voice, though.

Her inflections, her clothing, and even her man-

nerisms are all soft and gentle, radiating her com-

passion before you see it in action.

Catherine is executive director of Grace House, a

Jackson-based nonprofit that helps homeless peo-

ple living with HIV/AIDS. Her grandfather and

father, Hodding Carter II and Hodding Carter III,

were two of Mississippi’s greatest civil rights jour-

nalists. They called for the fair treatment of African

Americans at a time when such talk would get you

a new burning lawn ornament – or worse. Now

Catherine is carrying on their legacy in her work at

Grace House. While she doesn’t believe AIDS is a

civil rights issue, “it is no less compelling as a

social justice issue,” she says. “Poverty, lack of

information, and lack of access to care, these are

social justice issues.” Attempting to address those

disparities is a natural progression of her upbring-

ing and her previous work, Catherine says. “This is

the culmination of my life.”

Growing up in Greenville, Catherine had experi-

ences not many other kids were having, she says.

She got to hear her dad talking with civil rights

workers at the dinner table. She remembers being

10 years old during the Democratic National

Convention of 1968, “when the Loyalist delegates

were able to oust the regular delegates.”

Nowadays, people say her father and grandfather

were “progressive” journalists. “People use labels

that tick me off. [My dad and grandfather] were

liberals, not progressives, at least for the South. …

They were bigger than life, for me and for others.”

With that notoriety came danger. A few times,

Catherine and her siblings had to rush under the

stairs at home. “There was even a bungled cross

burning. And there were certain plate dinners we

didn’t go to. We kids would stumble in and not

know why we were treated so coldly,” she says.

Still, “I was encouraged to spend time with anyone

and everyone who came into my orbit. I had the

opportunity to interact with people who I now

know were living in horribly substandard condi-

tions.”

In middle school, Catherine spent time with a

white girl whom other kids gossiped about. “What

I knew that they didn’t was what her house felt

like. It was toxic. Her dad was on the couch. We

slept on a pallet on the floor when I spent the

night with her. “So from the age of 12 or 13, I’ve

been less prone to judge people. What I criticize is

folks having easy answers for why people are the

way they are. And I spent time in poor black peo-

ple’s homes, wealthy black people’s homes,

wealthy white people’s homes, and the stories

were different everywhere.”

Since childhood, Catherine has gravitated

toward grassroots efforts that serve the poor and

marginalized. She volunteered with the

Mississippi Head Start Association as a kid. When

her father was joining President Jimmy Carter’s

administration in 1977, Catherine was heading off

to Princeton. She majored in politics, but “by the

time I was 25, I had so much dirty laundry, there

was no way I was going into politics,” she says

with a laugh. “I was out there from a young age,

defending the defenseless but also getting into a

whole lot of trouble. Because of how I was raised

and youthful indiscretions, that continues to my

attitude on the people I serve.” She went on to get

a juris-doctorate at Tulane University Law School

and clerked for two Mississippi Supreme Court

justices in Jackson. She ended up marrying anoth-

er justice, Mike Sullivan. “I would’ve done legal

services, criminal defense, housing issues, civil

rights issues. Or I would’ve been lobbying against

stupidity like [the Religious Freedom Act]. But I

married a sitting justice. All the organizations I

was interviewed with, they couldn’t risk losing his

vote.” So she stayed home, unable to pour herself

into the advocacy work she loved. “[But] it didn’t

threaten the marriage. I loved being pregnant and

loved being the mother of babies and watching

them learn,” Catherine says. “[And] Mike had the

same spirit [as I do]: He was a populist and protec-

tor of the Constitution and constitutional rights.”

Margaret Sullivan was born in 1990, and Sarah

followed in 1992. Catherine waited until Sarah was

four, and then tried being a working mother. She

was the director of Parents for Public Schools in

Jackson for a year, until she decided her daughters

were still too young not to have their mom at

home. “I wish – no, I don’t wish it. I’m not one of

those superwomen. And I don’t even want to call

them that. It’s not fair to them. But my personality

couldn’t make it work. I’m a perfectionist,”

Catherine says.

Mike died in 2000. From 2002 to 2006, Catherine

taught drama at Casey Elementary in northeast

Jackson. Then in 2008, when Margaret was gradu-

ating high school and Sarah was a junior, “that’s

when I really went full time. I again became an

activist and a trench worker.” First, Catherine

worked for Luthern Episcopal Services of

Mississippi. She managed money allocated for

incarcerated inmates and their families. “It gave

me insights on where money should be spent,”

she says. By fall 2010, funding had dried up, and

she had to leave the organization. It closed soon

after. Just a few months later, she started working

for the state hospital at Whitfield. She was a para-

legal and investigator on the forensics unit. In

other words, “my job basically was to research the

lives of men and women accused of crimes who

were arguing mental incapacity. I was helping the

psychologist there to determine the status of the

accused,” Catherine says. “This gave me even

more insight and wisdom. Most of the stories [of

the accused] had traumatic and horrible begin-

nings. Some had HIV. Some were seriously men-

tally ill. But all of them had trauma.

“But that job didn’t make use of all of my

strengths. I don’t sit still eight hours a day very

well,” she says. “Then there was this job opening. I

realized what I’d done before had prepared me for

this.” Grace House is one of three organizations in

Mississippi that provide housing for the homeless

its Millsaps Avenue campus, which currently

serves 24 residents in six buildings. And at satellite

facilities throughout central Mississippi, the non-

profit provides rental assistance and supportive

services to HIV-positive clients representing a

minimum of 26 households.

“Mississippi is near the top in terms of AIDS sta-

tistics. In Mississippi, Hinds County has the high-

est percentage of HIV cases among African

American males, and the largest percentage of

HIV/AIDS cases per capita. HIV follows commerce

routes,” Catherine says. “Getting people into treat-

ment is complicated by a dearth of clinics, partic-

ularly in rural areas, poverty, and a stigma. This is

particularly difficult in the African American com-

munity. The rising group of new HIV/AIDS cases

in Mississippi is 13- to 24-year-olds, mostly

African Americans.”

However, “huge strides are being made. St.

James does the interfaith service for HIV/AIDS

awareness every year, and the number of black

ministers keeps growing.” Some of Grace House’s

residents and clients have AIDS, while others are

just HIV-positive. It typically takes about 10 years

for HIV to become AIDS, and the goal is to get

people plugged into services before that change

happens.

One misconception is that everybody with

HIV/AIDS is depressed all the time, Catherine

says. “Once they are receiv-

ing the encouragement and

support of a place like Grace

House [there is] normalcy

and gratitude. Do people

walk around here every day

whistling? No. But they don’t

stay in places of despair. They

have a normal range of emo-

tions.”

As she rounds up her first

year at Grace House,

Catherine isn’t ready to leave

anytime soon. There’s still so

much work to be done,

including a kitchen

renovation that’s been on the

Grace House to-do list since

2010. “We do have some

money from Northminster

Baptist Church and MAC

Cosmetics. We will have meet-

ings on how far we can stretch that money,” she

says. Plus, “I’ve had tons of outside interests, but

that’s still on the backburner – like caring what my

backyard looks like. I hope I can be here for years

to come.”

And when she’s gone, her daughters will still be

around to carry on the family legacy. Margaret, a

Millsaps College graduate, is a visual artist and

poet. Sarah is about to start graduate school in

psychology and is interested in being a prison psy-

chologist or a psychiatric nurse practitioner. “They

have the same heart [as Mike and I],” Catherine

says. “That Carter fightingness, feistiness, it con-

tinues generation to generation.”

The Cathedral Church of

St. AndrewB Y E L L E N B O U R D E A U X

P H O T O G R A P H Y B Y B E T H B U C K L E Y


“During my tenure here, I’ve discovered a

people not only committed in helping

Jackson renew her identity while helping to

create abundance for all who live here; my

experience has been and continues to be a

people who understand much about the

unconditional, undeserved love of God in

Christ and who seek to make such Good

News known to anyone seeking meaning

and truth. It is my humble honor to serve

such a dynamic, vibrant congregation.”

-Edward O’Connor

In the bitter winter of the year of our Lord one thousand eight

hundred and thirty-nine, a young deacon from New York arrived in

Jackson, Miss. A missionary with the Domestic Missionary Society

of the Protestant Episcopal Church, the Rev. Daniel S. Lewis, along

with eight locals, formed St. Andrew’s Church. The Rev. Lewis was

paid an annual salary of $400, which is equivalent to approximately

$10,000 in 2014 dollars. Lewis also held services at St. Mark’s

Church in Raymond and St. Matthew’s Church in Clinton.

According to the late Sherwood Willing Wise, author of “The

Cathedral Church of St. Andrew’s: A Sesquicentennial History,

1839-1989,” and devoted St. Andrew’s parishioner, Jackson had a

population of 2,000 in 1839, and a number of the early citizens

were already communicants of the Episcopal Church.

Shortly after Lewis organized St. Andrew’s, he moved on to

Louisiana, leaving his former flock under the care of the Rev.

George Weller at Christ Church in Vicksburg. Eventually, in 1843, a

resident priest was appointed to serve the congregants of St.

Andrew’s.

The first St. Andrew’s Church building, built of brick and sited on

the southeast corner of President and Amite streets, was in use by

early 1850.

Along with the rest of the region, St. Andrew’s suffered mightily in

the scourge of the yellow fever epidemic of 1855, wiping out 25 per-

cent of the communicants. Even with the threat of death, the priest

at the time, the Rev. A. D. Corbyn, who also served as head of St.

Andrew’s College, ministered to the sick and dying. He contracted

f nearly six generations

make up 175 years, and 175

years make a dodransbicen-

tennial, then it is reasonable

to presume that the Cathedral

Church of St. Andrew, in

downtown Jackson, will enjoy

an important anniversary

celebration October 25-26.

the fever and perished in the autumn of 1855.

Because of the epidemic, the college closed its

doors forever.

When the Civil War broke out, St. Andrew’s was

under the steady guidance of the Rev. William

Croes Crane, a native of New Jersey. Jackson was

occupied four times. Residents suffered through

the Battle of Jackson (May 1863) and the Siege of

Jackson (July 1863) and was burned during both

occupations. The church building was destroyed,

and following the war,

St. Andrew’s worshipped for a while in a room

called Odd Fellows Hall in City Hall, which, along

with the Old Capitol and the Governor’s Mansion,

survived the devastation all around.

Prior to the war, in addition to St. Andrew’s

Church tending to the spiritual needs of its parish-

ioners, it also served those same needs to blacks

and prisoners.

During Reconstruction, St. Andrew’s, with its

new priest, the Rev. Joseph Louis Tucker, became

very active in Christian education, with three

Sunday School initiatives: the parish Sunday

School, a black mission school (which 400 to 500

newly-freed slaves attended every Sunday) and a

penitentiary school, the penitentiary standing

where the New Capitol is sited today. According to

Wise, “Numerous convicts told the rector that the

one view they had of anything besides walls and

chains was the hour devoted to them on Sunday

afternoon; this was filled with peace, kindness,

and good will.”

War decreased the number of communicants,

from 113 in 1860 to 94 in 1870, but it had not

diminished their enthusiasm. By 1873, St.

Andrew’s second church building was complete,

and in a mere 25 years, the body of the church

would see substantial growth and became aware

of the need of a new and much larger church

building. The cornerstone of the third and current

church building was laid in 1902, and in 1903, the

new church across the street from the Governor’s

Mansion came into use.

Throughout the 20th century, St. Andrew’s

helped establish mission churches throughout the

area: St. Mark’s, St. Columb’s, St. James’, St.

Philip’s; St. Matthew’s, Kosciusko; as well as the

newest addition: St. Alexis on E. South Street, in

downtown Jackson.

The church, with some of its members, founded

St. Andrew’s Episcopal School, and on September

8, 1947, 42 students enrolled for the first through

the fourth grades. Last year, St. Andrew’s was

ranked as the 18th best private day school in

America by thebestschools.org

There have been many notable priests to serve

over the past 175 years. Some familiar names to

current-day Jacksonians might be the Revs.

Walter Capers (whose daughter was Charlotte,

after whom the Mississippi Department of

Archives and History named one of their build-

ings); Vincent Franks, who, as a young child in the

Canadian hinterlands, was kidnapped by a child-

less Algonquin squaw and was later found by his

parents in the middle of a cornfield; Edward

Harrison, who, as Wise wrote, “held a deep com-

mitment to the concept of Christian love as he saw

it and paved the way for those who continued to

lead the church [in the 1960s] toward complete

reconciliation.”

The 1960s brought tumult and racial struggle. In

1963, St. Andrew’s made national news when four

young black women quietly entered the church

and remained there for the duration of the service.

They were the first to be admitted to a white

Protestant church in Jackson. Wise wrote that the

Rev. Christoph Keller Jr. reminisced about that

service, saying, “Looming in my own vivid recol-

lection of that event is the fear and determination

expressed in the face of one of these women as I

shook her cold and trembling hand at the door of

the church and attempted to reassure her.” In

1966, St. Andrew’s became the Cathedral Church

for the Diocese of Mississippi, and throughout the

Rev. Walter Capers Rev. Vincent Franks Rev. Edward Harrison

The Cathedral Church of St. Andrew


’60s and ’70s, acted as an agent for charity, change

and reconciliation. Other deans, the term to which

the priest at a cathedral church is referred, includ-

ed the Very Revs. John Jenkins, Robert Gordon

Oliver, Sid Sanders, Rod Murray, Ed Bacon, Joe

Robinson and Edward O’Connor, the current

dean.

In the more recent past, St. Andrew’s, as well as

many churches in Jackson, across Mississippi and

the nation, responded in earnest to the needs of

the Mississippi Gulf Coast after Hurricane Katrina.

The church has many outreach ministries such as

the Tuesday Morning Breakfast Club for the

homeless and residents of local shelters; Meals on

Wheels; Stewpot Community Services; Grace

House for people living with HIV-AIDS;

Mississippi Food Network; Operation Shoestring;

Mission Mississippi; Working Together Jackson

and Habitat for Humanity, as well as several oth-

ers. There are also significant in-reach programs,

too.

For two days, Saturday and Sunday, October 25-

26, St. Andrew’s Episcopal Cathedral will come

together to celebrate in fine form its 175th

anniversary. From 10 to 11:30 a.m., Saturday

morning, Dean Edward O’Connor will moderate a

panel discussion with former clergy. Dean

O’Connor says, “I will ask open-ended questions

to each of our panelists. I envision a light-hearted

yet substantive discussion with regard to memo-

ries about St. Andrew’s.” Also at 10 a.m., there will

be cathedral birthday party fun for the children.

On the agenda are face-painting, moon jumps,

basketball contests and bean bag tosses. There will

be more fun with hula hoops, bubble machines,

sidewalk chalk and the old pick-a-duck game. Add

cotton candy, balloons, popcorn and craft activi-

ties to commemorate the birthday celebration.

As music is an important part of worship at St.

Andrew’s, Dr. John Paul is busy planning his con-

tributions with the organ and carillon. He says,

“My plan is to have celebratory organ music

(pieces which have been special-

ly admired by the parish family

in the past five decades) every

hour on the hour, and carillon

peals from the bells throughout

the Saturday celebrations.”

Outreach has been, and con-

tinues to be, a major component

in which the Cathedral of St.

Andrew makes manifest the love

of our Lord and Savior Jesus

Christ in the larger community.

There will be displays of all out-

reach ministries connected to

the cathedral. The displays will

be exhibited as part of a cathe-

dral tour to show the congrega-

tion, former deans and clergy

what’s been happening over the

years, possibly work the visiting

former clergy initiated.

Also on view will be a pictorial

timeline of St. Andrew’s over the

past 175 years.

The carnival will culminate

with a casual lunch of hamburg-

ers, hot dogs, cake and ice

cream, and the singing of

“Happy Birthday, Dear St. Andrew’s.” Plans are in

motion to remove the cornerstone and open the

time capsule at some point during the weekend.

On Sunday, October 26, at 9:30 a.m., a coffee with

current and former clergy will be held in the

Parish Hall.

At 10:30 a.m., Paul, with both the parish and

cathedral choirs, will present a half-hour special

musical program, with selections by Ralph

Vaughan Williams, Martin How and others. Paul

says, “There will be one major church service at 11

a.m., and the choirs will wear their magnificent

new robes from England for the first time, in

honor of the 175th.”

Dean O’Connor will lead the service and the

ecumenical celebration for the anniversary. The

anniversary festivities will conclude at the end of

the service, whereupon St. Andrew’s Cathedral will

return to its divinely-inspired work to love and

serve the Lord.

For the past 175 years, as Jackson’s history has

been formed, St. Andrew’s has responded to the

needs of its congregants and to the needs of the

citizens of its community and diocese. St.

Andrew’s heart is always full of the Lord’s will and

work. Where there is the Episcopal Cathedral of St.

CHAMPIONSHIPS

And the 2014 USTA Championships continue. The Tri Level championships wereplayed in Tupelo, August 8 -10. The weather was scorching hot, but that’s bet-ter than getting rained out, which has happened too. More than 450 tennis

players from across the state came to compete during the weekend tournament. OnSunday, nine teams were crowned champions and they will compete against teamsfrom Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana and Tennessee during the USTA Southern SectionRegional Tri Level event held at Ridgeland Tennis Center October 17-19. Leah Warren’s3.5-3.5 ladies 18 and over, Brad Castle’s 3.0-4.0 men’s 18 and over, Steve Garrett’s 3.0-4.0 men’s 40 and over, and Brian Tolley’s 3.5-3.5 men’s 40 and over teams all won fromthe Northside. Best of luck at the regional championship. Next up are Oxford andHattiesburg for the USTA League Mixed Doubles Championships.McKeever Huen is the captain for the 3.0 men’s 18 division team from Desoto County

that recently went to Auburn for the USTA League Sectional Championships. Huen cap-tained his men all the way to the finals where they won and now will head to TucsonOctober 10-12 to compete in the USTA League National Championships. Best of luck toyou all. Members of the team playing out of Tunica National Resort are GarrettTrautman, Scott Lawhorn, Edwin Gilless, Justin Yelverton, Rusty Volmer, Jim Green,Mckeever Huen, Melton Worsham, Jed Hale, Chip Wiggins, and Joe Summers.Virginia Walcott and her 4.5 ladies traveled to Asheville, N.C., in late August to vie for a

spot at USTA Nationals as well. They had a great tournament, making it to the finalswhere they fell just shy of the victory. This team goes back to 1997 when they all firstcompeted together on a USTA League team where they made it to state, sectionals andnationals, finishing in second place. Sitting out the following year, they regrouped in1999 and returned to sectionals that year. After several different seasons of not playingthey won sectionals and went to nationals again in 2008, where they finished in fourthplace. They went to sectionals in 2013 in 18s and 40s. This year’s trip to sectionals in the40s was their 12th time to go in the 14 years they have competed. Captain Virginia has this to say about her team, “We are a group of lifelong friends,

and we have a blast preparing and competing together. We have always especially lovedthe challenges and experiences of competing at USTA Southern Sectionals, where thereis the opportunity to meet and play against so many different great teams and players.And it goes without saying that we have just as much fun together off the court.” Teammembers are Virginia Walcott, Cindy Hannon, Gayla Elliott, Michelle Jennings, MelanieBillman, Colleen Roberts, Beth Rogers, Debra Byrne, Elizabeth Caldwell, Cami Stone-Hill and Emillia Viljoen.Just like the Davis Cup for professional tennis, the Southern Junior Cup represents

excellence among top-level, competitive junior players from the USTA SouthernSection. The Mississippi team consists of some of the top boys and girls in each age divi-sion, competing in singles, doubles, and mixed doubles. Three boys and three girlsmake up a team. Team Mississippi competes against teams from the other eight statesin the Southern Section during this premier event. Not only is it quite an honor to beselected for this team, it is one of the most fun events in junior tennis because of theteam spirit and camaraderie. Before heading to Chattanooga for the Southern JuniorCup, the team coaches sponsored a “Southern Junior Cup Warmup Clinic” at RidgelandTennis Center. The two-day training camp included live ball drills, mental toughness,doubles tactics and match play. On Saturday night, they were all invited to MeganHumphrey’s home for a team barbecue. Coaches for the 2014 Southern Junior Cup areLevis Patton, 12s division, and Justyn Schelver and Kevin Gillette for 14s, 16s and Girls12 players.Here is the 2014 Team Mississippi, best of luck to everyone.

Hattiesburg.Mississippi has a USTA Junior Team Tennis team headed to nationals for the

third year in a row. David Humphreys took his 14 Advanced JTT team to Cayce,S.C., to compete during the 2014 USTA Southern Sectional Junior Team TennisChampionships. And compete they did. There were five teams in their divisionand this group of young tennis stars marched their way, undefeated, to the

championship finals where they finished on top. Not only did they go undefeat-ed, they didn’t lose a single court during the entire tournament, going 20-0. Next up is the USTA National JTT Championships, which will be back in Cayce,

S.C., October 16-19. A couple of the team members aren’t rookies to the nationalscene, Megan Humphreys and Patrick Roth played last year on a MS 14Advanced team that finished fourth in the nation. They have high hopes fornationals this year. Team Mississippi will march in the opening ceremonies car-rying a banner they designed to represent Mississippi and their team spirit. Anew twist to the JTT National Championship in 2014 is the Adopt-a-Unit effortduring the championships. This is a national program supporting our troops inAfghanistan by sending care packages of necessities to anywhere between 25 and100 service members deployed there. Team members are Megan Humphreys (Madison), Grace Anne Jones (Oxford),

Lailaa Bashir (Jackson), Callie Billman (Brandon), Coach Justyn Schelver(Reunion Country Club, Madison), Sebastian Rios (Tupelo), Eric Huey (Tupelo),Patrick Roth (Pascagoula) and team manager, David Humphreys (Madison). Bestof luck to all of you.

In 2004 the Jackson Ladies Tennis Association’s (JLTA) board of directors estab-lished a college educational scholarship for one entering female freshman at a two-year or four-year community college, college or university. In the spring of eachyear, a committee comprised of two members of the JLTA board of directors andtwo members of the association as a whole will choose a recipient from among thequalified applicants. The scholarship is awarded annually and is renewable for fouryears at an amount of $750 per year, for a total scholarship amount of $3,000. Thoseapplying must live in the tri-county area, performed with distinction during theirschool years, both academically and community service, and played varsity tennisfor their high school. Any student receiving a full tennis scholarship isn’t eligible. Carly Causey is the 2014 recipient of the JLTA scholarship. Carly is the daughter of

Rachel and Ken Causey and is a 2014 graduate of Jackson Prep. She was a memberof the Jackson Prep tennis team for five years, and was the number one GirlsDoubles (partner: Bray Koury) State AAA Champion in May 2014. She was also a var-sity cheerleader for three years, a member of the varsity swim team for three years,and a member of the Jackson Prep showchoir “Revellion” for four years. She is afreshman at the University of Mississippi where she is a Provost Scholar. Carly andher family are members of Highlands Presbyterian Church.Longtime JLTA player, Mary Anne Lefoldt, recently shared some JLTA history

along with her team’s story. Mary Anne started playing JLTA at Colonial more than30 years ago. When she started, there were only five colors; red (highest), gold,white, blue and green. Two more levels were added several years later, platinum(highest) and bronze. As the demand for more teams continued, another level wasadded, yellow and eventually green (lowest) was dropped. Mary Anne and her teammates named their team the Matchpoints and started at

the bottom level, green. Over the years, ladies have had to leave the team, new oneshave been added, but the present team has been playing together for more than 20years. Now that’s something. There are so many bonds between these ladies, that’sone thing that makes playing tennis on a team so special. “We have had several extended family member deaths but nothing as heartbreak-

ing as losing one of our team members. Hallie Keyes was the matriarch of our teamand when she became ill with cancer, we rallied around her. Hallie had been on ourteam for 12 years and she was such a wonderful person. After her death in April2010, we have kept her memory. We talk about her. She gave us matching towelswith Matchpoints on it. She gave each of us a Christmas ornament and every year Ithink of Hallie when I decorate our tree. She loved tennis and her warmth was feltwherever she went. We carry a picture of her in our tennis book to help keep hermemory alive.“Hallie Keyes, a great lady and a wonderful tennis enthusiast, we miss you terribly.

I have seen so many changes over the years. JLTA is a great avenue for tennis in thetri-county area.We are fortunate to have such a well-organized association. I haveserved as treasurer, color secretary and disciplinarian. It takes great dedication to bean officer and due to the commitment of so many intelligent women, JLTA contin-ues to be a huge success and a well-organized association. Anything that lasts 35years, in this day and time, is very well operated. Jackson women are very lucky tohave JLTA.” During the 2014 US Open, tennis fans from the Northside were spotted all over the

grounds. One lucky fellow, Brad Castle, actually sat in the president’s box, thanks toDaniel McFadder, via Mitch Peters. The Tri-County Tennis Association received twotickets to raffle off for seats in the president’s box. Each year, USTA Mississippireceives these tickets to award to a CTA to use to raise funds for their organization.Daniel was the lucky winner, but he wasn’t able to attend. He asked around andPeters knew that Brad was going and hooked him up with the tickets. “Oh my gosh,what an experience we had,” says Castle. “I really wasn’t sure what to expect, but itwas incredible. “The hospitality, food, seats, everything was over the top, it sure was hard to go to

our regular seats the following day,” continues Brad. Not only did Brad have greatseats in the box, a gentleman from Clemson, S.C., gave him front row seats inArmstrong Stadium for the evening match, where they saw the Williams sisters play-ing doubles. “This is a trip we will never forget, I hope I can win these next year too,”finishes Castle. Some other Northsiders seen milling around the grounds were Jane Tubbs,

Carolyn Dumas, Billy Williams, Pat Bunkley, Julie Jackson, Jennie Mullen, SabrinaSutherland, Rhoda Maloney, Jill Siler and Jane Turner.There is a lot of tennis left to be played before the winter months set in. Grab a

buddy, head to the courts and enjoy some great tennis and fall weather. As always,for all of your tennis needs, go to www.mstennis.com; you can find us on Facebook,Twitter and Instagram as well, ustamississippi. Happy fall, y’all.

New York City becomes a second home to many Northside tennis enthusiasts in late Augustand early September. There are always lots of people heading there to watch tennis during

the US Open, while taking in the sights and eating some good food. Seen around thegrounds and in the presidents’ box were several tennis players from our area.

Life is filled with stressful moments. Like most people, our familyhas experienced some nerve-racking events that brought about a rally ofsupporters and other times the sound of crickets replaced the ringing ofour doorbell. I recall having more food brought to us when we had no appetite and

when we were really hungry there was no covered dish waiting for us inthe refrigerator. Why is it that certain life changes and circumstances areworthy of a casserole and others are not?I have a theory that there are casseroles-are-coming situations and no-

casseroles-in-sight conditions. Uncontrollable stressful moments likedeath, illness and babies bring about an immediate emotional responseand are typically marked with arrival of flowers and casseroles. Whileself-induced stressful moments like getting married or divorced, chang-ing jobs and moving have a smaller selection in the card aisle and are notusually acknowledged with baked goods. When we announced that The Everyday Gourmet was moving to the old

O’Charley’s Restaurant, I got an immediate message from a friend con-

gratulating us on our new location and a notice that he would be out oftown on moving day. I found it odd that he didn’t even know the date thatwe were going to move the store when he gave notification that he wouldbe unable to help. I am confident he won’t be sending a casserole either.I get it, I am the person who would rather do just about anything than

get involved in someone else’s mess. Self-induced stressful situationsbring about a whole different emotional response, and people often stayaway from you until you work through whatever is going on in your lifefor fear that you might ask them for something. I have never run by Primos Café to pick up a casserole for a friend whose

husband ran off with someone half his age or delivered a gift basket to aneighbor whose sister is going to jail for failure to file payroll taxes for thelast 10 years for her herb farm in California, and likewise I have never will-ingly offered to make dinner for a friend or family member while they aremoving for fear that I might be asked to help lift something heavy when Ishow up with the meal.When someone dies or has a baby, the offerings of help are abundant.

However, once you’re married (happily or not), lose your job, or decide tochange the location where you reside -those times when you need a helping hand,no one ever asks, “What can I do for you?”If they do (in a moment of complete insan-ity) extend an offer of assistance in yourtime of need, ask them to make you dinner.I think you will both be surprised by theawkward pause that is certain to follow.

Sometimes the most stressful of eventsare totally self-induced. Regardless, theprocess of moving is physically and emo-tionally exhausting. The past month ofremodeling, and transferring the entirecontents of The Everyday Gourmet to anew location has been quite a task. The lastthing I’ve wanted to do is cook dinner aftera long day of fetching and toting boxes. Forpeople like me who are busy and stressedout, the Crockpot is almost as essential ashaving a dolly around on moving day.When you are facing one of those stress-

ful life moments and no one has offered todrop off a meal, I suggest you pull out theCrockpot and pretend that someonewhipped up dinner for you. A slow cookeris a fix-it-and-forget way to make dinnerwithout the stress. You can also makecleanup easy by adding soapy water to theslow cooker and turning on high for anhour.

Whatever stressful situation you’re facing, dinner doesn’thave to be complicated. Bring out the slow cooker and try thishearty chili and surprisingly simple peach cobbler. We allknow that a slow cooker can make a tasty meal, but did youknow that dinner and dessert could cook in the same pot at thesame time? Until now, I never tried to make multiple coursesin one pot. I was a little stressed in the beginning, but just likeall other self-induced stressful situations – the outcome was

worth the anxiety.

SLOW DOWN CHILI INGREDIENTS

1 package Frontier Soups Ski Country Chili

1 ½ pound London Broil*, trimmed and cubed

4 cups beef broth

2 cans Rotel tomatoes

1 can diced tomatoes

2 tablespoons peach juice

2 mini Hershey’s Special Dark chocolate bars

DIRECTIONS

Rinse beans and place in slow cooker. Add beef broth and contents of

chili seasoning packet (I remove the chili peppers and bay leaf from the

seasoning.), cubed meat, Rotel tomatoes, and peach juice. Stir, cover and

cook on low for eight to 10 hours. Add dark chocolate and allow to melt

before serving. Top with sour cream, cheese, green onions or tortilla chips

*London broil is an umbrella term that refers to a 1 1/2 to 2-pound top

round, shoulder or flank steak

COCOTTE PEACH COBBLER INGREDIENTS

1 small can Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls, cubed

1 can sliced peaches with juice, (less 2 tablespoons)

DIRECTIONS

In a 1-quart cocotte gently combine cubed cinnamon rolls and icing.

Carefully move cinnamon rolls to the side of the dish and pour peaches

and juice in the center. Cover with lid or leave the top off the cocotte to

allow the chili aromatics to permeate the cobbler and give it a more com-

plex flavor. Position cocotte in center of chili. (I place a shallow ramekin in

the chili under the cocotte to give it a lift.) Cook for eight to 10 hours. Serve

with vanilla ice cream.
