Hometown Madison Reader SPOTLIGHT Alison Martin Why did you decide to make Madison County your home? My mom’s family grew up in Canton, so I grew up coming for holidays and spending time in the summer with my cousin. My husband is from Canton, so we eventually moved back “home,” and I am so happy here. Tell us about your family. My husband Shan and I have been married for 19 years (20 in May!) and we have three boys: Lane (16), Carter (13), and Sam (10). Both sets of their grandparents live in Madison County, so we get to spend lots of time together. What is your favorite memory of living in Madison? Since my boys were born, we spend every day of the summer at the pool at the Country Club of Canton. The boys can now all ride their bikes there, have become good golfers, and Lane wants to be a lifeguard this summer. Where are your three favorite places to eat in Madison? Chick-fil-A (of course), Santa Fe Grill is new to Canton and is delicious, and Culinary Cowboy Amish bread. What are some fun things to do in Madison on the weekends? At this stage in our lives, we go to Canton Academy ballgames of all sorts all the time!! Share some things you enjoy doing in your spare time. I used to scrapbook with some friends once a month, and we decided when our kids all get bigger, we are going to try to start back. We all miss it! What are three things on your bucket list? Oooh. That’s a tough one. I’d love to visit somewhere tropical, see the Grand Canyon, and visit the set of the TV show The Goldbergs – my family loves that show. What is your favorite childhood memory? When I was in elementary school, for summer vacation a couple of years, my mom would let my sister Ashley and me pick any place we’d like to visit in the Rankin/Madison/Hinds area, and that’s what we would do for her vacation week. We’d always pick places we’d been on field trips like Vicksburg, the Zoo, the Natural Science Museum or the Petrified Forest. Ashley and I thought we were big stuff when we went to see two movies IN A ROW! Who is someone you admire and why? Pam Moore teaches science at Canton Academy and was our teacher of the year last year. She is amazing – always prepared, covers so much material, has tests graded the same day, and loves her students. She does all this AND works at UMC, too. She is definitely someone I admire. Where do you see yourself in ten years? I have thought at times that when my youngest son graduated from high school that I’d like to go back to school to become a nurse. We will see... If you could give us one encouraging quote, what would it be? “If you don’t want someone to find out, don’t do it.” I have a poster of that in my classroom because I think that advice could save some teenagers (and adults, too) lots of heartache. What is your favorite thing about Hometown Magazines? I love seeing the good things people are doing where I live. The news is filled with so much negative that it’s great to see people who love their hometown and are willing to invest time and money into making it somewhere other people can enjoy, too.
