Letter From the Publisher
Numbers 14:6 through 96 Joshua, son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh, who were among those who had explored the land, tore their clothes 7 and said to the entire Israelite assembly, “The land we passed through and explored is exceedingly good. 8 If the Lord is pleased with us, he will lead us into that land, a land flowing with milk and honey, and will give it to us. 9 Only do not rebel against the Lord. And do not be afraid…
ר מדב באמרו, אל-כל- וויהושע בן-נון, וכלב בן-יפנה, מן-התרים, את-הארץ--קרעו, בגדיהם. ז וי
עדת בני-ישראל לאמר: הארץ, אשר עברנו בה לתור אתה--טובה הארץ, מאד מאד. את, ונתנה לנו: ארץ, אשר-הוא זבת חאם-חפץ בנו, יהוה--והביא אתנו אל-הארץ הז
חלב ודבש. טאך ביהוה, אל-תמרדו, ואתם אל-תיראו את-עם הארץ, כי לחמנו הם; סר צלם מעליהם ויהוה אתנו, אל-תיראם.
This month, 4Memphis and the Memphis Love Challenge turn our attention to education, specifically a charter school in Memphis that is leading the charge to prove that education in the city of Memphis does not have to be a failed proposition. Grizzlies Prep is doing an outstanding job of educating 6th, 7th and 8th grade young men that otherwise would be considered at risk if they were not attending Grizzlies Prep.
The story referenced from this excerpt from the Book of Numbers is the story of God’s people being afraid to tackle the job that God had given them to conquer the Promised Land after leaving slavery in Egypt. The Israeli people watched the most powerful nation on Earth be destroyed, in order to set them free, only to become afraid and refuse to do the job that lay ahead.
One of the basic requirements of any city is the education of its children. Many in this city, including this publisher, look at the challenges and wonder if there is any way to fix our city’s education system. We are afraid that the political battle is too hard, or the high-risk children too challenging, to actively engage in helping fix the system. The surrounding communities have to incorporate into their growth projections the need for a bigger school system to accommodate the young families looking to leave the schools located in the city of Memphis.
Grizzlies Prep is proving our fears to be wrong. You walk the halls of the school located in the former downtown Federal Reserve building, and you’ll see these young men’s love of reading, order and discipline. They are in the top 95% of their peers in the area of reading, math, and science. This is all being done despite being in a building that has no gymnasium or yard to play in. They love their school, more importantly they love learning and embrace the “Core Values” as defined by Grizzlies Prep. (see page 36 in feature article)
The leadership of Grizzlies Prep has been deliberate in developing a school curriculum that reinforces the Core Values while providing an emotionally safe learning environment from the moment these young men enter the building until they leave. We toured the school last week with Memphis music artist PreauXX; his own life message to the students reinforced the very “Core Values” of Grizzlies Prep. He challenged the young men to “define yourself everyday despite the challenges of the day,” drawing from his upcoming single “Monday Morning.”
In our story from the book of Numbers, Joshua and Caleb were the only ones who did not run from the job given to them by God. They were the only ones from their generation to enter the Promised Land after Israel wandered 40 years. May we, the citizens of Memphis, not fail this generation of students. May we support Grizzlies Prep and the other schools that are working to change education in Memphis.
Seek the Peace and Prosperity of Memphis
Jim
Grizzlies Prep is a public school that operates as a charter school, receiving an allocation of dollars for the student’s education, but nothing for facility upcoming or to pay for the extras that are making a difference in the education of these young men. The Memphis Grizzlies Charitable Foundation helps to meet some of these needs, some of the Core Values are drawn from what is successful on the basketball court, but it is critical that the school has a broader base of support to continue its great work.
Seek the Peace and Prosperity of the City in which I have placed you.Jeremiah 29:7

GRIZZLIES PREPBy Stephanie Beliles | Photography courtesy of Joe Murphy/NBAE via Getty Images
The Memphis Grizzlies have positioned themselves as hometown heroes with guiding principles that have made them a
success story in the NBA. As an influential organization that is committed to their community, it is no wonder the Memphis
Grizzlies saw the challenge in education for young men in Memphis and turned it into an opportunity to create another team
of educated, evolved young men. Boys that would possibly be in otherwise failing schools and negative situations are molded
into outstanding scholars, impressive communicators, and deeper thinkers. The Memphis Grizzlies recognizes that in order
to make a city succeed, the youth needs to succeed, and they wisely created a partnership with Grizzlies Prep. If children are
the future, then Memphis’ prospects got brighter when Grizzlies Prep opened their doors.
Inspired by the philosophy guiding the Grizzlies success, Grizzlies Prep has adopted the core values of courage, commitment, integrity, responsibility, grit and excellence. These are the ideals that drive the boys to victory in the classroom. Grizzlies Prep has made its mission to ensure young men in grades
six through eight excel academically and demonstrate integrity. By pairing rigor and discipline, they arm students with the skills they need to succeed in high school, college and life. As a result of their advanced curriculum and customized programming, Grizzlies Prep ranks in the top 5% in the state for growth.

36 / 4Memphis
Grizzlies Prep focuses on all-male students, a tactic based on much research. According to Dr. Leonard Sax, an expert on single-sex education, “Team competition socializes boys. It teaches boys to value something above themselves. It subordinates some of the ego and the egocentricity that boys often manifest.” Guests to the school walk the halls of Grizzlies Prep and witness this phenomenon. There is not only structure and order that is transitory for most other charter schools, but there is a sense of solidarity as well. Like their namesake, they are a team. They reach out their hands and wiggle their fingers when a classmate is stumbling on a question as a sign of positive vibrations and support; they snap in congratulations when a classmate succeeds; they tell one another as a unit that they are “incredible, like the Hulk.”
School Director Elizabeth Simpson and her staff have created a no-nonsense environment. The school features an extended school day, double blocks of math and English language arts, and electives like karate that encourage determination and focus. The students are selected through a random lottery process, and, therefore, they represent a mixed bag of home environments. “I believe the diverse backgrounds of our students assist in socializing them here. It is also an opportunity to have a fresh start in a new school without preexisting reputations,” notes Elizabeth. Grizzlies Prep students all wear the same uniform, aside from the choice between Memphis Grizzlies bowtie or neck tie, which they earn the right to wear through scholarly achievements. These achievements are collected in a point reward system and are called “buckets,” and they earn them through completing homework, actively participating in class and other good behaviors. Negative behaviors cause “turnovers” and take away from the students’ points. The points can reward them with vending machine usage, lapel pins of achievement, and other privileges. Negative points will land them in detention. To further challenge, each boy must read one million words by the time they graduate, and so every boy in every room is seen with library books on their desk, ranging from Harry Potter to The History of Malcom X.
The utilitarian approach taken by Grizzlies Prep provides the boys with a safe space. In a sixth grade classroom, the boys are thoughtful in what they say, and the instructors take creative approaches in teaching and lecturing. By the time the boys are in eighth grade, they are engaging in lively debates on subjects like the history of war and government, with every young man confidently contributing his thoughts. Every boy nods hello and says “excuse me” when passing visitors in their hallway. They look adults in the eye and shake their hands when introducing themselves. This atmosphere of fortitude and seriousness affords every male there to feel on equal footing to their peers, free from bullying, and that is no small feat. Without girls or status to occupy them, the boys at Grizzlies Prep throw themselves into becoming the best possible candidate for high school admission.
The young men of Grizzlies Prep are impressive to everyone they meet, including Memphis Grizzlies player Vince Carter. Having been raised
by a family of educators, Vince knows the importance of education for youth. In fact, he was encouraged to excel in the arts, and has mastered seven musical instruments. When the opportunity for him to take a bus tour of Memphis with the students of Grizzlies Prep, his expectations were far exceeded. “I was extremely impressed not only with the manners of the young men, but also by what Grizzlies Prep is trying to accomplish,” says Vince. He asked the boys if they felt a difference between their experiences prior to attending the school and now, and he was struck by their insights. “It was awesome to hear ‘It changed my life’ and ‘I’m a different person’ from such young boys.” He was so moved that before they left, Vince jumped back on the bus and thanked the boys for allowing him to be in their presence sans media and fanfare. “I have a young daughter, and when it comes time for her to date, these are the qualities I would look for in someone trying to date her. Each one of them impressed me, and I felt like they should know that.”
Grizzlies Prep needs Memphis’ help and the kindness of the Memphis Love Challenge in their endeavors. They happily accept mentoring volunteers and lunch buddies to act as positive influences for the bright young men. Going beyond traditional education also costs more than what public sources fund for Grizzlies Prep. They rely on the financial contribution and generosity from the community to keep their boys learning and prospering, and it can sometimes be a struggle. In fact, the school currently has to replace their roof, an inconvenience of roughly $200,000. 4Memphis and the Memphis Love Challenge ask that Memphis comes together and raises the roof for the remarkable young men of Grizzlies Prep and for the future of education Memphis.

preauXX memphis By Stephanie Beliles | Photography by Silas Vassar
Memphis is teeming with aspiring musicians, rappers, and other artists. In the world of local hip hop, it is an unfortunate reality that crime and violence and glorified in local rappers’ rhymes. Breaking the destructive trend is local music artist PreauXX, and he is creating a musical atmosphere with a positive message, one beat at a time.
PreauXX’s music is not squeaky clean by any stretch; however, listeners can hear that while sometimes negative subjects are mentioned, they are not glorified. PreauXX’s new single “Monday Morning” is a beautiful tribute to the heaviness he feels, namely after being in certain self-manifested situations, the violence in Memphis, and overcoming negative stereotypes. His cleaver lyricism and innovative music has created a cult fan base for him and his TDRON label. PreauXX (pronounced “pro”) has expanded his footstep nationally, recording a song for the Royals’ visit to Memphis per request of USA Today. He impressed hundreds of people at SXSW music festival in Austin, TX. He has floored fans in Atlanta, GA. He continues to gain notoriety in Memphis, both through his music and his generosity.
PreauXX was born in New Orleans but came to Memphis as a child. He attended the University of Memphis and quickly created a collegiate following: his music
is far more relatable to the masses in comparison to the “dirty street rap” that many Memphians hear. His music has elements of R & B, dance hall, reggae and rock and roll. PreauXX’s charming charisma and aggressive wordplay spotlights his cleverness. In 2014, PreauXX and his team secured a dual deal with Great South Bay Music Group to release his “Die Winning” EP with digital distribution through E1 Records. With all of the excitement surrounding TDRON and their accomplishments, PreauXX is taking his influence and putting it to good use in Memphis. When he is not touring, recording or performing, PreauXX has recently elected to spend time at Grizzlies Prep (see page 36) and mentor the young men as a Cultural Ambassador.
PreauXX has pushed education as his primary mission, noting that “all music and art is business, and it needs to be studied that way.” PreauXX identifies with the youth of Memphis and is committed to facilitating a change, saying, “I remember what it is like to be thirteen and worrying about what you are going to do and how you are going to live your life. It’s so important that a young man have someone positive to look up to and help them make the right choices.”
PreauXX is an act to follow, and that is according to numerous publications, both local and nationwide. But it is PreauXX’s commitment to the youth

Bleu Restaurant & Lounge has a new chef with vast experience in some of the most acclaimed restaurants worldwide, and Chef Ana Gonzales is now bringing that expertise to Bleu Restaurant & Lounge.
Chef Ana was born in Caracas, Venezuela, moved to Cartagena, Colombia, and then to Miami, Florida, when she was 11 years old. She began her culinary passion as a youngster, and carried that passion to her academic training. She graduated from Johnson and Wales University. Her baking and pastry acumen earned her a scholarship in Amsterdam, Holland. She began working in a series of high profile roles including catering for the Formula One racing circuit and culinary hot-spots in south Florida at the Alexander Hotel, Wish Restaurant, and the Orlando Peabody Hotel. Gonzales’ husband Brian Barrow, is also a well-respected chef. It was his career and a transfer that brought her talents to Memphis.
Chef Ana is bringing unique and interesting flavors in dishes at Bleu Restaurant & Lounge. From the small plates before the game to a special dinner celebration, the menu reflects a worldview in Downtown Memphis.
f you were a contestant on a restaurant reality
show, you would still be hard pressed to have
as unique of a résumé as Will Mulligan, General
Manager of Downtown’s Bleu Restaurant &
Lounge.
As GM, Mulligan knows a thing or two about what works
and what doesn’t when it comes to upscale dining. Born
and raised in Memphis and a former student at Christian
Brothers University, he has worked from Orange County,
California to Vail, Colorado resorts serving the likes of
former presidents, hollywood celebrities and the navy's
finest. As a Culinary Specialist Petty Officer 3rd Class in the
US Navy, he worked in the belly of a state-of-the-art nuclear
submarine and as a personal chef for a Navy Admiral.
With such a unique and rich background, Mulligan has big
ideas for Bleu Restaurant & Lounge. “Memphis is a great
foodie town,” said Mulligan. “People are hungry for new
tastes, new ideas. Our goal is to do something no one else
Bleu Restaurant & Lounge’sNew General Manager, Will Mulligan
Returns to the South
is doing here. We really want the guests to be blown away
by a truly ‘out of the Bleu’ experience.”
In 2014, Mulligan moved back home to Memphis to be
closer to family and friends. He was hired at Bleu last
spring, and he is implementing big plans for the restaurant
and lounge. Top items on Mulligan’s list include an
updated and chic patio for spring, a revamped lounge,
and new small plates with unique flavors from Chef Ana
Gonzalez. Mulligan is working to create a truly “out of the
Bleu” experience in one of the hottest locations
Downtown.
“From game season at the Forum through the summer,
we’re looking at a lot of just plain fun events,” said
Mulligan. “There will be some great music events, a pup
friendly patio, seasonal beer launches, wine dinners, and
always complimentary valet parking. But we will always
continue providing new flavors and new ideas in the
kitchen so that our guests always walk out saying, ‘wow!’”

Disney’s The Lion King is a beloved show that has been translated into eight languages, and has won more than 70 global theatrical awards including six Tony Awards in 1998. Noted Broadway veteran Julie Taymor first envisioned the conversion from animation to stage. Her creative vision netted her a Tony that year for Best Costume Design. Not only was she heralded for her groundbreaking costumes design, The Lion King and Taymor also won a Tony for Best Direction of a Musical. With that award, she became the first woman to win for Musical Direction.
As Wardrobe Supervisor, Gregory Young is the man responsible for bringing Taymor’s costume originality to every show. Young himself is a Broadway veteran, and he worked as a dresser with The Lion King when it first opened in New York in 1997. He was with the Broadway production for a decade, only to return to the touring company where he has been for the past six years.

The production does not travel light. The tour uses 18 trucks to haul the entire show, and 14 of those are 53’ semi-trailers...and wardrobe alone accounts for a full truck-and-a-half of that total! Young meticulously coordinates the 250 pieces of wardrobe that are used in each performance. “We travel with 350 pieces, in case of emergency,” he said. He also works closely with the puppetry and hair-and-makeup departments to create the animal characters. In addition to the touring crew, local theater professionals also benefit from this large production. Young augments his crew with 17 local dressers, along with two hair and makeup artists.
Young is not only responsible for what you see on stage, but he also manages the behind-the-scenes routine maintenance. Except for an occasional broken zipper, major wardrobe malfunctions have largely been avoided. “Anything that touches the actor’s skin must be laundered after every show. One dresser is dedicated to washing garments. It takes eight hours each day.” Other pieces are dry cleaned in rotation every two to three weeks. Costumes are crafted of several different fabrics including mud cloth from South Africa and different silks. “The Bird Lady dress is made of sailcloth, which is actually used for making sails on boats. It is light, and it lasts longer. The wildebeest costumes are raffia and yarn,” he described, “and each of the unique lioness costumes are made of custom hand-dyed silk with custom beaded necklaces to match.” The costume worn by the antagonist Scar is the heaviest and most intricate in Young’s wardrobe closet. Scar’s chaps are made of pieced leather, and working in conjunction with the puppet department, a remote controlled motor is woven through his costume to operate his mask.
There is as much choreography going on backstage as there is on stage as the crew preps for the next scene. A precise flurry of activity, orchestrated in quiet and low light, insures the costume changes happen seamlessly. The fastest wardrobe change is a quick 2.5 minutes - a mere 150 seconds as female members switch from the grasslands scene to lionesses. Each member in the ensemble plays at least two roles as both a hyena and as a Grassland head.
Double duty is an important concept to the initial creation of The Lion King costumes. Taymor designed the costumes, masks, and puppets to show the animal and the human actor. Rather than hiding the mechanical aspect of the character, it is in full view of the audience. Young says that Taymor’s dual effect is really unique. “The costumes are transforming the performers into plants and animals. There’s so much to see - and every time you look, you see something different,” he said.
With imagination and a bit of theatrical magic, costumes make it all possible for over 25 jungle animals to roam the Orpheum February 3 to March 1. For ticket information, visit orpheum-memphis.com.

New Year’s Eve from the Hard Rock Café Photography by James Wessels | Blurred Image Photography

“Seven years ago my GM, Mike Benson and I had this crazy idea to bring our great city together as a community and kick off the New Year in a very positive way for Memphis. I was tired of only seeing Memphis make national headlines for our crime rate when there’s so many amazing things about our city that gets regularly overlooked. We saw that it was a chance at bringing together many elements that make us, as Memphians so unique, from food & drink with a Southern flare to live music performances encompassing genres that began here, and of course a giant 10-foot guitar because a ball just isn’t Rock n’ Roll enough for us!
After the first guitar drop in 2008 the concept began to grow to many Hard Rock Cafe locations around the world. I was even sent to the Nashville Hard Rock to help their city develop a Guitar Drop (now a music note). But I couldn’t be more excited that the original continues to call The Birthplace of Rock n’ Roll its home.
Here we are in 2015, globally televised on CNN as the Central Time Zone activation of the New Year, and while all these other negative & troubling things are going on around us nationally, Memphis set an example to the world, that people of all walks of life could come together as a community and celebrate the beginning of 2015 on a very positive note… and I could not be more proud to be a Memphian and to be present at Hard Rock when the Guitar Dropped!”

TRAVEL
There’s something to be said for being the “other” mountain town – the one where people are actually focused on the skiing, not the skiwear. A town that offers a laid-back vibe, unpretentious restaurants, and interesting locally-owned little stores and galleries. A town where there’s plenty to keep you busy, but doesn’t make you feel like you might be missing something if you choose to hole up by the fireplace and indulge in a good read.
Ogden is one of those “other” towns. It’s the same distance from the Salt Lake City airport to Ogden as it is from the airport to Park City, but the two are worlds apart when it comes to their offerings, both on and off the slopes.
Once known for its notorious debauchery, downtown Ogden was filled with saloons and brothels and all manner of naughtiness; Al Capone famously remarked that Ogden was too wild, even for him. Today’s Ogden is a mix of outdoor adventure, American history and the arts, and small-town enchantment.
Ready for Its Close-upThe Sundance Film Festival, held annually in late January to early February, has a growing presence in Ogden. This year’s just-concluded event included 13 screenings at Peery’s Egyptian Theater, a grand movie palace built in 1924 and lovingly restored in the late 1990s. Tickets to Sundance screenings and discussions in Ogden are easy to get, as is entry into after-parties and discussions. And like the main festival in Park City, there are plenty of celebrity sightings around town. (This year, Memphis had serious representation at Sundance, with Memphis filmmaker/author Robert Gordon’s documentary “Best of Enemies;” former Memphian Kentucker Audley, a filmmaker and actor, starring in stars in “Christmas, Again;” and Nick Case, founder of Paper Moon Films, screening “Take Me to the River”.)
Ski, SchooledLean into the hill. Lean into the hill. Over and over again, the
mantra is repeated, as if I had any choice but to lean into the hill, as shifting my weight would mean I would start moving, accelerating, speeding down the hill. And this was no hill. This was the steepest ski run I had ever encountered, so steep that if I didn’t actually lean into the hill, it felt as though I would tumble down the face of it. But the advice from my ski instructor worked, as did his words of wisdom to “find a tree on the other side of the run, and keep your eyes on it – your skis will follow. Welcome to Snowbasin, site of the men’s and women’s downhill and super-G events at the 2002 Winter Olympics, the kind of mountain that can take a confident and experienced casual skier and instantly turn her into a hot mess. With a vertical drop of 3,000 feet, Snowbasin is the most challenging of the three ski areas in Ogden.
The resort’s luxurious après-ski lodges and upscale shopping and dining options are pretty window dressing for the challenging runs, and a stark contrast to the old-school feeling of Powder Mountain, across the valley from Snowbasin. Powder Mountain may not have the bling, but black diamond and back country types know it for its expansive terrain and deep powder. Wolf Mountain (the former Nordic Valley) is Ogden’s third ski destination, and a great fit for beginners or skiers who don’t get to the slopes often enough, and Nordic skiing options abound here. One of the most attractive things about skiing the slopes around Ogden is that even on their busiest days, there’s loads of open space, so one never feels crowded or rushed.
Notorious 25th StreetJust how notorious was 25th Street – the main business district in Ogden – back in the day? There were opium dens and brothels, gambling halls and bootlegging. 25th Street – known now as historic – is still full of gorgeous Neoclassical buildings, filled now with galleries featuring the work of local artists, casual eateries and bars, and boutiques and specialty shops.

#MEMPHISLOVECHALLENGE
Share the LoveThe Memphis Love Challenge utilizes social media as an outlet to challenge locals to engage in acts of goodwill throughout the Memphis community. The strategy includes individuals completing an act of kindness to an otherwise unknown recipient in the community, then taking a photo or stating on social media a representation of the act followed by #MemphisLoveChallenge. Once the act is completed, the participant is to get on social media again and in a statement challenge three more individuals to do the same. This concept was born out of the success of the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge; however, instead of getting dumped with ice, participants are encouraged to sign up for a mentoring program, donate to a charity, help an elderly person load their groceries, and other creative acts of goodwill, big or small. Learn more at 4Memphis.com/MemphisLove, and start challenging Memphis!
4Memphis would like to congratulate Monogram Foods on committing to the Memphis Love Challenge! In celebration of their 10th birthday and in support of our community, Monogram has created IMPACT10, a charitable campaign designed to give away $100,000 to 10 charitable organizations over 10 years. In keeping with their goal to give back to our community, they have also pledged to perform 10 acts of kindness throughout Memphis, and they encourage you to do the same! Go to impact-10.com and see the great community work they are doing, as well as how you can help!
