In brief

By Tom [email protected]

901-529-2572

It’s a complaint Tennessee transportation officials have heard over and over: Memphis gets neglected while Nashville reaps an outsize share of state highway construction dollars.

That might have been true in the past, but not any more, state spending igures show.

In the four years since Gov. Bill Haslam took oice, the Ten-

nessee Department of Transpor-tation has obligated $664 million in Shelby County — nearly twice the $347 million committed in Davidson County.

The money has gone mainly to big-ticket projects. Topping the list is the ongoing $109.3 million enlargement and modernization of the Interstate 40-240 inter-change in East Memphis — the largest single contract awarded by TDOT. Another $46 million went to the widening of I-240 between Poplar and Walnut

Grove — a project that is being completed this month, about a year and a half behind schedule.

During the past few years, TDOT has completed the Tenn. 385 loop outside of Memphis and the enlargement and improve-ment of the Interstate 55 inter-change at Mallory.

The department also is con-structing the Interstate 269 con-nection to the Mississippi line, and it recently began work on a $28.3 million new and improved interchange at Canada Road and

I-40 in Lakeland.The igure for obligated funds

includes projects that are in the pipeline but not yet under con-tract, such as the revamping of the I-55 interchange at Crump Boulevard.

That project, however, has been delayed a year because of federal funding problems.

TDOT spokeswoman Nichole Lawrence said department oi-cials want to be fair to all parts of the state. “We try to look at all regions and see where the need

is,” she said.Dexter Muller, senior vice

president of community devel-opment for the Greater Memphis Chamber, agreed that TDOT and state oicials “have been fair to us” in terms of highway construction in recent years.

He credits Haslam for keep-ing his campaign promises. Dur-ing his initial run for governor in 2010, Haslam assured Mem-phians they would no longer feel neglected, noting his wife, Crissy, grew up in the Bluf City.

Holiday greenery recycle scheduled

Shelby County govern-ment will operate a recy-cling center for discarded holiday greenery near the Showplace Arena, 105 S. Germantown Parkway, through Jan. 10.

Christmas trees and other greenery should be free of lights and decora-tions and can be left at any time. Collected items will be made into mulch that will be available during Earth Day and America Recycles events.

The initiative is part of the county’s Sustainable Shelby plan to conserve energy and protect natural resources.

WO L F CH A S E GA L L E R I A

Police call reported mall fight nonevent

What witnesses de-scribed as a noisy ight among juveniles last Fri-day at Wolfchase Galleria was subsequently labeled a nonevent by law enforce-ment oicials, who said it resulted in no injuries and was over before police ar-rived.

“We have no recorded fight,” Memphis Police Director Toney Armstrong said of the incident. “We don’t have any actual po-lice report iled.”

One witness said he saw about 15 people ighting, others described a large group kicking and throw-ing punches at Wolfchase, and one store closed its gate during the disturbance.

Department spokes-woman Sgt. Karen Ru-dolph said in an e-mail the incident “was blown out of proportion by local media outlets.” Rudolph said no one was ighting by the time police arrived around 7:30 p.m. “No victim was located, no injuries were reported and no ofense re-port was taken,” she said.

Memphis Mayor A C Wharton said the rowdy crowd at Wolfchase was mostly female, adding it was not how “young la-dies” should act. “It’s just extremely unacceptable,” he said.

The Commercial Appeal

But the publicity did serve as a reminder to Grider and Kirby Farms owner Walter Wills III that the model, created by a company called The Cat’s Meow from Grider’s photos, is part of a series of iconic Germantown land-marks available at Grider’s Checkerberry Shoppe on Germantown Road just north of the Norfolk Southern rail line.

“When the house was being moved, I went over and talked to (Wills),” Grider said, recalling that she reminded him that she sold the replica. “He said: ‘Well, I hope this will help your sales.’”

Grider dropped the price of the wood compo-sition piece to $15.75 and part of the proceeds from

its sales are earmarked for a possible future German-town museum.

Among the landmarks represented in the series are the Germantown De-pot — the irst one cre-ated in the series — the Commissary restaurant, Grider’s business and its next-door neighbor, the Book Depot, along with a couple of churches. There are representations of the clock near the railroad crossing in Old German-town and also a water tower customized for the suburb.

There was once a piece for Mabel C. Williams High School, the former name for Germantown High, but it has been dis-continued.

The Cat’s Meow is locat-ed in Wooster, Ohio, and creates similar landmarks for communities across the eastern half of the

country from lighthouses to buildings to trees and vehicles. There is a series connected to “It’s a Won-derful Life” complete with

the Bailey Bros. Building and Loan to Martini’s Bar. There’s the Hemingway Home in Key West, Fla., and the Whiteish Point

Lighthouse on Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.

Grider sends pictures of the building she wants replicated and The Cat’s Meow creates a model and sends it back for her to critique. When she gives clearance, the company creates the building.

Each of the buildings has a silhouette of a black cat on it. The cat sits in the window of Grider’s Check-erberry Shoppe and on a bench in front of the Com-missary. The Old German-town pieces range from $12.75 to $18.75, she said.

Grider said such collect-ibles have waned in inter-est in recent years because of the economy and other factors, “but we still have people who collect.

“They are still popular,” she said. “And they are especially popular when people are moving away and leaving town.”

Torrance Becton (left) looks over an exhibit at the Pink Palace museum with her brothers Kyson, Ethaniel and Merrick in April 2013. The rambling mu-seum has plans to update the facility into a more cohesive unit.

By Jody [email protected]

901-529-6531

Since its founding in 1930, the Memphis Pink Palace Museum has slowly grown over the years with a patchwork of facilities and exhib-its grafted onto the original house Clarence Saunders built.

And it looks it. Wandering through the museum, it’s obvious that it was never designed to be a grand spectacle wowing the more than 240,000 visitors who walk through its doors every year. Once visitors make it into the museum, they must navigate confusing paths to see all the exhibits. And once they ind those exhibits, well, they’re likely looking at familiar items that have been on display for more than 25 years, further diluting that “wow” factor.

Steve Pike would like to change all that. “I think we’re a very good museum,” said Pike, director of the Pink Palace Family of Museums. “But I want to be the kind of place where people are supercharged and excited to learn.”

To that end, museum oicials have crafted a $23 million, seven-year plan to “re-imagine” the fa-cility, to make it a more “thrilling, vibrant place” for visitors, Pike said. So far, the museum has raised just shy of $3.5 million toward the proj-

ect, Pike said.In 2012, the City Council ap-

proved a $10 million challenge grant, meaning the city will match donations up to that amount. If the museum can raise $10 million in funds and the city matches, the goal will nearly be met. The museum is also looking to the state for addi-tional funding, Pike said.

That plan includes four major phases, one of which is already complete:

■ Phase 1, completed in March, was a $750,000 project to renovate the museum’s large-format movie screen. The CTI 3D Giant Theater, formerly known as the CTI IMAX theater, now features a new digital projection system as well as new sound, seats and screen.

■ The project even added a small concession stand for the theater.

■ Phase 2 is a $1.5 million reno-vation of the Sharpe Planetarium. That project is underway and should be complete by next June. The renovations will remove the old projection system and replace it with a new digital one, allowing the museum to ofer more than the typical planetarium shows.

■ Phase 3 is a $4.25 million project to redo the space in the original Saunders mansion. That phase, Pike said, should begin in early 2016 and be inished by the

end of that year.This phase will include a new

“place of honor” for the famed Clyde Park miniature electric cir-cus, one of the museum’s most be-loved exhibits. The circus, which Park built painstakingly by hand, hasn’t worked in several years, Pike said, as constant usage wore down the gears and wheels. But thanks to a $500,000 grant from the Plough Foundation, the museum plans to repair the circus and install it in a new area in the mansion.

■ Phase 4 is the biggest part of the plan, a $16 million project to renovate the museum’s exhibition building. That project is scheduled to begin in 2017 and take four years to complete.

The project has numerous com-ponents, including a new entrance to the museum near Central Ave-nue. That entrance will then lead to a new lobby area that will, Pike hopes, be majestic. The current two-story lobby is divided into seven smaller spaces, but the new design will give the facility a grand entrance.

That project will include nu-merous new exhibits, including Origins of the Universe, Physical Science and Geology, Life Sciences and Regional Culture and History. The Bodine Hall will be expanded to accommodate two traveling ex-hibitions, Pike said.

A bill iled last Tuesday in Nashville creates the possibility of a specialty license plate for the Ger-mantown Charity Horse Show, an institution here since 1948.

The bill was filed by Sen. Brian Kelsey, R-Ger-mantown, and Rep. Mark White, R-Memphis. Once it passes, it’s up to the show organizers to get commit-ments from 1,000 people, plus collect $35 ($70 if they want a vanity plate) from each.

Proceeds from the plate will be “seed money” for a show that has grown so much since its beginning that it costs nearly $100,000

a year to put it on. The horse show would receive 50 percent of the funds col-lected for the plate.

“It puts money in the community and every year, we support a charity. For the last 17 years, our charity has been the Ex-change Club of Memphis,” said Virginia Walker, the show’s vice president and the force behind getting the license plate.

Between proceeds and program advertising, the Exchange Club gets about $40,000 from the show each year.

“The license plate will keep the show going,” Walker said. “Every year, we have to ask for spon-sors for our classes. It’s like the chicken and the egg,” she said. “Because

you have to have horses to have a show and you have to have people to sponsor the classes for the horses to come.”

The show’s foundation also raises $150,000 a year in prize money and makes ongoing investments in the show grounds.

Since May 11, 262 peo-ple have signed a petition on gchs.org to order the plates. The foundation has two years after the bill passes to sell 1,000 pre-approved plates.

In 2014, specialty plates produced $3.1 million. The five most popular plates are: Friends of the Smokies, Agriculture, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, American Eagle Foundation and Fish and Wildlife.

The Germantown Char-ity Horse Show Association celebrated the season in grand style at the home of Jimmy and Tempe Chan-cellor on Old Dogwood Road.

Jimmy is the president of the association and he and Tempe greeted guests with pewter ornaments and invited them into their beautifully decorated home. Guests brought their favorite Christmas recipes to share for a grand potluck Christmas dinner party.

As is the tradition at the Christmas party, the Ger-mantown Charity Horse Show queen for the new year is introduced. This year the daughter of mem-bers, Dot and John Stagich, was chosen to represent the 2015 Germantown Charity Horse Show. Eliz-abeth Bennett Stagich is a graduate of Germantown High School and Colorado State University. She will apply to the University of

Tennessee College of Vet-erinary Medicine in 2015. Stagich will reign over 25 princesses at the German-town Charity Ball in March and the show, June 2-6.

Past queen Alex Livesay was on hand to wish Eliza-beth her best and to receive a special gift. For many years, local artist Anne Moore has presented the outgoing queen a portrait in bronze relief. The beau-tifully framed portrait this year included Alex and her horse.

A new addition to the GCHS Christmas party spirit is the contribution of toys for the children served at the Exchange Club Family Center. Mem-

bers brought toys and books for children under 5 as requested by Barbara King, the executive direc-tor of the Exchange Club. The Exchange Club is the charity that receives more than $25,000 a year from the GCHS to serve fami-lies sufering violence and abuse in the Memphis area.

Another highlight of the evening was the presenta-tion of a special gift to the group’s retiring photogra-pher, Donna Crisp. She has served the Germantown Charity with her event photographs for almost two decades.

SNAPSHOTS

This year, Collierville High School adopted 100 angels through Kiwanis of Collierville’s Angel Tree Program. Col-lierville SGA organized a one-hour pep rally to thank the student body and faculty for their contributions to each angel. Collierville Schools board members came out to support the program.

St. George’s Independent School ninth-grade physics students recently participated in a Google video conference with educational sailors from the Beautiful Nation Project, an experiential learning project designed to connect students with Earth and to promote global citizenship while sharing their experiences and curriculum. The crew is sailing around the world and a recent stop included anchoring in Puerto Rico. Tonia Lovejoy, captain of the Makulu, shared with the students why she loves sailing, the physics of sailing and ielded questions about life aboard their 43-foot sailboat.

The Bailey Station Run Club had 150 students participate this fall. The club will resume running in the spring.

Dogwood’s Mahir Imon shows his excitement during the Hour of Code activity.

Kindergartners at Dogwood Elementary enjoyed their “Holiday Around the World” activity. The group “traveled” to various countries on the Polar Express and learned about customs and celebrations in Israel, Italy, Mexico and more. Showing of their Mexican gifts are students (front row, from left) Maysam Ginem, Jack Turner, Emily Turner, Emitt Delikat, Zoe VanDrimmelen, Harrison Litvin, Myra Marshall, Hussain Kasmi, Lillian Freeman, (back row, from left) Alex Shi, Evan Chotard, Parker Higley, Brady Thomas, Anna Hatcher, Kate Wingield, Freeman Blancq and Phoebe Johnson.

While visiting the Pink Palace, Germantown Elementary students Madison Dang and Aysha Khrewish learned about sharks and why they are called the “perfect predator.” After the lab session, the students were able to explain the ive adaptations shared by all sharks, which make them the “Kings of the Ocean.”

Germantown Elementary second-grade CLUE students, including Joshua Penny and Siddharth Babu, recently visited the Pink Palace to “Dive Into Sharks.” The students inspected shark-tooth fossils, investigated the inter-nal and external anatomy of a dogish shark and examined a shark skeleton to discover why sharks are the ocean’s “perfect predators.”

Special to The Weekly

In August, students from across the state be-gan creating posters to illustrate this year’s ire-poster theme “Smoke Alarms Save Lives: Test Yours Every Month!”

The Collierville Fire Department sponsored the town’s contest, which was open to all students in public, private and home schools. Each school se-lected its grade-level win-ners and submitted the posters to the CFD, where department personnel participated in a blind judging of the posters.

The local winning posters then were sent to the State Fire Marshal’s Office in Nashville for inal statewide judging. This year, 280 poster en-tries were submitted from 103 diferent schools. The

state winners were select-ed by James Wells of the Tennessee Arts Commis-sion, Gary Tisdale of Mid-town Gallery and Shaun Giles of the Frist Center for the Visual Arts.

Continuing a tradition of state-level winners, this year’s winning stu-dents from Collierville are Jordan Lewin, a sec-ond-grader at Crosswind Elementary; Cole Way-caster, a sixth-grader at Collierville Middle; and Jamey Ryan, a seventh-grader at Collierville Middle.

“I am thrilled that we have three state-level winners,” said Erin Dan-iels, public education spe-cialist for the Collierville Fire Department. “We have a great combination of talented students and supportive faculty and parents.”

The fire prevention poster contest is a long-standing, annual event used by the Tennessee State Fire Marshal’s Oice to highlight and promote fire safety awareness

throughout Tennes-see schools. This year’s poster contest theme corresponded with the National Fire Protection Association’s Fire Preven-tion Week campaign. The

theme was especially per-tinent as 70 percent of fa-tal ires in Tennessee last year occurred in homes with no smoke alarm or no working smoke alarm.

“Programs like this are

a fun and efective way to get students educated about fire safety,” said commissioner of com-merce and insurance and state ire marshal Julie McPeak. “The safety lessons they learn from working on these projects are often spread to their parents and siblings.”

The State Fire Mar-shal’s Office will rec-ognize the statewide winners of the 2014 Fire Prevention Poster Contest at an awards event on Jan. 31 at the Tennessee Fire Service and Codes En-forcement Academy in Bell Buckle, Tenn. The winners each will re-ceive a $50 check and a certificate of achieve-ment signed by Governor Bill Haslam. The winning posters may be viewed at tn.gov/fire/documents/posterwinners.pdf.

COLLIERVILLE

Three students win state awards for fire safety posters

Jamey Ryan, a seventh-grader at Collierville Middle School, was a state-level winner in the annual fire safety poster contest.

Collierville Middle sixth-grad-er Cole Waycaster drew a fire alarm as a reminder to test them each month and assure proper function.

Crosswind Elementary second-grader Jordan Lewin’s artwork of a house with a working fire alarm helped her place in the state’s contest.

Dana Holgorsen stood frozen on the sideline, hands on hips. Somehow, even as multiple de-fenders scurried Texas A&M quarterback Kyle Allen out of the pocket, the back end of the West Virginia defense gaped — again — midway through the third quarter.

With a throw across his body, Allen connected with Ricky Seals-Jones for 21 yards on what was a bleak third-and-20 play. Holgorsen, the West Virginia head coach, was dumbfounded. He crossed his arms and stared down at the green turf.

When his gaze lifted, Hol-gorsen watched as tailback Trey Williams turned the corner on an 18-yard touchdown run that widened the Texas A&M lead to double digits.

The crippling third-down con-version and touchdown scamper by Williams were part of a disas-trous third quarter in which West Virginia unraveled. A game that began as a quick-strike shootout was wrestled into submission by a tandem of Texas A&M running backs, their eforts supplemented by timely throws from Allen and a suddenly stiling defense. The Aggies held on, 45-37, and won the 56th AutoZone Liberty Bowl Monday before an announced crowd of 51,282.

A seesaw irst half that fea-tured seven touchdowns and five consecutive possessions with points scored gave way to a more measured third quarter controlled by the Aggies. They alternated running backs drive by drive, with Tra Carson rushing for 46 yards on the irst posses-sion of the half, which resulted in a ield goal, and Williams rack-ing up 36 total yards on the sec-

ond, which culminated with his touchdown run that so delated Holgorsen along the sideline.

Later, Carson converted a cru-cial third-and-1 at the West Vir-ginia 11-yard line to extend a pos-session that ended one play later on a touchdown pass from Allen to Malcome Kennedy. What was a 1-point halftime lead ballooned to 15 by the end of a quarter in which the Aggies rushed for 116 yards and held the ball for more than 10 minutes. For the game, Carson and Williams combined for 219 yards and a score.

“We weren’t getting of blocks,” Holgorsen said. “We were stuck on blocks like I haven’t seen in quite some time. Our (defensive) line was terrible.”

Equally displeasing for Hol-gorsen was his team’s ofensive performance in the third quarter, a stretch of time that saw the Moun-

taineers compile 57 total yards and squander yet another trip to the red zone. (West Virginia scored a touchdown on just one of its four trips inside the 20-yard line.) For 30 minutes quarterback Skyler Howard had shredded the Aggies, needing only 11 completions to throw for 195 yards and two scores. But suddenly he misired — again and again and again — with passes sailing high and others lying be-hind the intended receivers.

Howard, who finished 20-of-24 for 346 yards and three touchdowns, watched 10 of his 12 passes fall incomplete in the third quarter. The Mountaineers failed to convert on third down 80 percent of the time.

“The third quarter was atro-cious offensively,” Holgorsen said.

The struggles were reminis-cent of the game’s very begin-

ning, which had something of a dishonest feel. Both Texas A&M and West Virginia, two teams ranked in the top 12 in the coun-try in passing ofense, registered three-and-outs on their irst pos-sessions in what proved to be an extremely brief — 3-minute, 5-second — scoring drought.

Those six plays were all that was required to shed a month’s worth of rust, to crumble a pair of defenses that yielded 30 or more points a combined 10 times this season, to unleash two quarter-backs whose irst-half perfor-mances did little to explain why both began the year as backups.

For two wildly entertaining quarters the Aggies and Moun-taineers traded scores, running up a combined 55 points in the process.

Then arrived halftime, and ev-erything began to change.

Interior Design

By Stacey WiedowerSpecial to The Commercial Appeal

On a recent project, interior designer Selena McAdams was working in a room that needed 12 feet of built-in storage. The contractor

quoted $6,000 for custom cabinetry, but it just wasn’t in the budget.

To solve the problem for her cli-ent, McAdams bought three free-standing cabinets from Ikea that it perfectly in the space.

“We spent a little money chang-ing out the hardware, and it looks so good,” said McAdams, owner of Spruce in East Memphis. “That said, every other piece in the room is an expensive piece, and the melding of those two worlds worked. Sometimes you need a funky piece, and you can’t spend $10,000, but you need it to look like you did.”

That’s one of many uses design-ers and homeowners have for the big blue retail behemoth that is Ikea, and it’s one reason the prospect of a local store has design enthusiasts excited. That, and the lack of a six-hour road trip to the closest store.

“Sometimes we pick our vacation destinations based on if there’s an Ikea on the way,” said East Memphis resident Terry Lane. “And we’ve ac-tually made a special trip to go to the Atlanta store.”

Stories like these are common-place among fans of the store (this writer included). Lane likes Ikea for its clean-lined modern design aes-thetic and its accessible, afordable prices — two features that are tough to ind together, at least in the Mid-South.

“Ikea ofers what we could call a Scandinavian look,” said interior de-signer Kim Loudenbeck, who owns Arlington-based Warehouse 67. “When I go to market, I’m seeing a lot of those cleaner lines in product lines that in the past have been tra-ditional. The industry is leaning in that direction.”

And homeowners and renters — particularly those in the young cre-ative class that make up the biggest part of Ikea’s fan base — want to rep-licate the stylish looks they see on design blogs, on Pinterest, on HGTV.

“When a new trend comes forth in New York or California, Memphis is usually about ive years behind the curve,” said interior designer Linda Wingo, owner of Wingo Design & In-teriors. “With Ikea coming, I think it’s going to close the gap for Memphis in comparison to national trends. It’s going to help us out immensely, and it’s going to be afordable at the same time. It’s the whole ‘design within reach’ concept — it’s really going to be within reach.”

Ikea proposed last week building a $64.3 million, 269,000-square-foot store near Wolfchase Galleria, pending approval from local oicials. Slated to open in fall 2016, the store

will be one of about 40 nationwide.For those unfamiliar with the store

or its concept, Ikea is more than fur-niture, and its shopping experience is as streamlined as its design aesthetic. The retailer ofers home goods in vir-tually every category, from dishware to kitchen cabinetry, from throw pil-lows to the sofas and beds to throw them on.

In addition to the flat-packed, ready-to-assemble furniture it’s best known for, the store carries an extensive array of lighting, window treatments, decorative accessories, storage items and more. It displays these items in sample “rooms” that add to the fun of the Ikea experience.

Amy Hoyt peruses Ikea’s website regularly and likes its products be-cause they it well with her midcen-tury modern tastes. She just bought her irst house in Midtown and said Ikea’s announcement couldn’t have

come at a better time for her and her husband, Zach.

“I’m psyched about Ikea because I have a baby coming, and by the time that baby’s a toddler and I want to up-grade the nursery to a toddler’s room, Ikea will be great,” she said.

Loudenbeck is intrigued to watch the impact an Ikea store might have on the mindset of a city that his-torically has embraced traditional design. A new crop of young profes-sional homeowners already are put-ting a new, more contemporary spin on the city’s design sensibilities. With a lagship store like Ikea ofering styl-ish, modern products at afordable prices, Loudenbeck feels that trend will deepen.

“Ikea is going to service a market that’s been underserviced in this area,” she said. “And it will expose people to a new look. Slowly, over time, they’ll see things they like and bring them into their homes. I think even people who have been in a dif-ferent design style, I think they’re going to see things they appreciate, and I think it’s going to surprise them.”

Loudenbeck’s favorite Ikea prod-ucts are its bedding and textiles — she likes to mix and match the store’s afordable duvets with more expen-sive bedding to create a layered look. That high-low design philosophy is one reason she loves the store.

“Save where you can, and splurge where you have to,” Loudenbeck said. “If you can get the same look by using Ikea products for some basic things you can mix in, then you can go and buy that piece that’s unique or per-sonalized to make the space your own. It elevates the room, brings it up, and no one knows that you mixed in those less expensive pieces.”

And that’s why, for McAdams, al-most every home she designs has an Ikea piece somewhere in the mix.

“There’s a balance,” she said. “You need to have a little bit of Ikea, but you need to have the really nice stuf, too, and that’s what makes it all work together.”

SENSIBLE DESIGN

Ikea’s clean lines and afordable prices will ofer Memphis-area residents and designers new choices, from furniture to accessories.

In addition to bedding furniture, Ikea ofers a wide selection of lighting and storage items, including dressers.

An Ikea showroom gives buyers a look at the variety of designs available. Ikea is best known for its ready-to-assemble furniture, lighting, window treatments and decorative accessories.

How long have you been at your current church: Two-and-a-half years.

What makes Sundays special: The church has gathered on that day for thousands of years, re-membering the redemp-tive work of our savior, sa-voring God’s presence and encouraging one another. Sundays anchor my life to the body of Christ.

When did you receive your calling: I grew up in a ministry family and was convinced I would do anything except ministry. So when I started feeling called to ministry in col-lege, I was nervous. I was a reluctant prophet, you might say. Fortunately there were some great men and women who helped me discern God’s calling for my life. That was when I started preparing for a life of ministry.

What do you like most about ministry work: In a world of noise and digital overload, ministers get to spend time listening. So many people get drowned out by the noise or feel like they need to contribute to it. But speaking is only a very small part of the min-ister’s job. The best thing about what we do is our opportunity and respon-sibility to listen to a word from God, and only after a lot of listening to speak. I love listening.

Favorite mission trip: Well, I fell in love with my now-wife on a mission trip to the Dominican Repub-lic. So that one will always be hard to beat. I was for-tunate to go on a medical mission to Guatemala in September and that was an incredible blessing.

Favorite hymn: “O Sa-cred Head,” “Now Wound-ed”

Favorite Bible verse: Ro-mans 10:13-15

Outside of church, what are your hobbies: Rock climbing. Walking on the greenline and greenway with my wife, son and weenie dog. Eating ish tacos at Elwood’s Shack and trying to ind the best barbecue in Memphis.

Last book you read: “Naming the Powers” by Walter Wink.

Favorite movie: “A River Runs Through It” (also a favorite book).

By Jennifer W. CaseySpecial to The Weekly

Recently, the National Civil Rights Museum honored the lifetime achievements of outstand-ing individuals through its prestigious Freedom Awards. The organization also recognizes teenagers who exhibit similar hero-ism by ensuring equal rights and opportunities for all members of the community.

This year, Nicholas ‘Cole’ Perry, a 17-year-old Collierville resident, is a recipient of the Keeper of the Dream Award for his work with Habitat for Hu-manity.

Perry began his work

with the Memphis Habitat at age 11, when he hosted a “Home Team Huddle” party. His success with his irst fundraising party won him the grand prize trip to San Francisco, where he learned more about the organization and kick-started his in-volvement with the Mem-phis Habitat.

He continued to host an annual fundraising party, started to volunteer with the children’s programs and decided to devote his Eagle Scout project to the organization. In 2012, Perry designed and built an interactive mural in the children’s room at the Habitat oices.

“The mural was some-thing I feel I was meant to do for my Eagle Scout project,” commented Perry. “I’ve always loved volunteering and helping

kids, so after imagining myself as a little kid again, I thought the mural would be something I would have loved to play with.”

After collecting dona-tions to cover the cost of the project, Perry created

a fund for the room to buy future supplies for proj-ects with leftover money from his fundraising ef-forts.

“I visited the room for the irst class after com-pleting the project,” said

Perry. “I had never met any of the children before. I was surprised to see the words, ‘I love you, Cole!’ written all over the wall. At that moment, I felt all the work I had done was really worth it, and that was probably the most memorable experience I’ve had so far.”

Though his Eagle Scout project is completed, Perry believes his work with Habitat is far from over. Since 2012, he has volunteered more than 200 hours serving as a member of Youth United, Habitat’s program for teenagers, working all summer in Habitat’s Re-Store and helping children with homework or playing games in the children’s room where his mural decorates and contributes to the organization.

In addition to his work

with Habitat, Perry is an active student at Christian Brothers High School, teen youth leader at his church, Our Lady of Per-petual Help, devoted Boy Scout and a member of the Hugh O’Brien Leadership Organization.

Interested in public service and political sci-ence, he has also volun-teered for candidates’ campaigns, participated in Model U.N. and become a part of Tennessee Youth in Government.

The town of Collier-ville will honor Perry at the Mayor and Board of Aldermen meeting on Jan. 12 to recognize him for his generous service to the greater Memphis community.

“On the 51st day of Christ-mas, my true love said to me, ‘You take this way too seri-ously.’” — gra�ti.

How seriously do you take your bridge? Not at all? Too much? For most players, bridge is a social pastime. Tournament bridge has always been an intensely competitive world, but the face of tourna-ments has changed. To give its members what they want and prosper financially, the Amer-ican Contract Bridge League o�ers a deluge of events that let players achieve without ever facing strong opposi-tion.

The e�ect has been to re-move the incentive to get bet-ter, and the standard of play in an average game has sunk. The winners merely receive the most “gifts” — benefit-ting from poor play by others — whether it’s Christmas or not. Unless the ACBL provides meaningful competition, the day will come when “Life Master” ranking will mean nothing.

Study and practice are nec-essary to improve. How many aspiring players would handle today’s slam? After South ru�s the first spade, he might cash the A-K of trumps. If trumps broke 2-2, he would be safe. As it is, he takes only 11 tricks.

For an extra chance, South leads a low diamond at Trick Two. If West wins and errs by leading another spade, South can “reverse the dummy.” He ru�s and gets to dummy with the ten and queen of clubs to ru� two more spades.

South can then cash the ace of trumps and overtake his queen to draw trumps with the king and ten. He wins the last three tricks with the A-K of clubs and ace of diamonds.

Dear Harriette: My family had a horrible scare recently. My hus- band was in a car ac-cident and got seriously hurt. We have been mar-ried for 10 years and have two young children. Because we are both young, we hadn’t really thought about things like accidents, illness, death — none of that. Now that my husband is injured and out of work indefi-nitely, we are in quite a bind. We applied for worker’s compensation, but we have none of the things that will protect a family. Well, my husband has a small insurance policy through his job, but it’s not going to be enough if he isn’t able to go back to work. We don’t know the first thing about getting this part of our life in order. What should we do?

— In Jeopardy, Denver

Answer: It is a bless-ing that your husband is alive. I join you in pray-ing for his full recovery.

Because you are not savvy about finances and

insurance, I recommend that you immediately get help. Start with your husband’s job.

Contact the human resources department and find out exactly what protection your husband has. Learn if you can add to his insurance policy. Find out if he has disabil-ity insurance.

Next, contact a finan-cial professional to get support learning which tools are right for you. You can work with a life insurance company or a bank to identify what protection your family needs and can a�ord.

“On the 51st day of Christ-mas, my true love said to me, ‘You take this way too seri-ously.’” — gra�ti.

How seriously do you take your bridge? Not at all? Too much? For most players, bridge is a social pastime. Tournament bridge has always been an intensely competitive world, but the face of tourna-ments has changed. To give its members what they want and prosper financially, the Amer-ican Contract Bridge League o�ers a deluge of events that let players achieve without ever facing strong opposi-tion.

The e�ect has been to re-move the incentive to get bet-ter, and the standard of play in an average game has sunk. The winners merely receive the most “gifts” — benefit-ting from poor play by others — whether it’s Christmas or not. Unless the ACBL provides meaningful competition, the day will come when “Life Master” ranking will mean nothing.

Study and practice are nec-essary to improve. How many aspiring players would handle today’s slam? After South ru�s the first spade, he might cash the A-K of trumps. If trumps broke 2-2, he would be safe. As it is, he takes only 11 tricks.

For an extra chance, South leads a low diamond at Trick Two. If West wins and errs by leading another spade, South can “reverse the dummy.” He ru�s and gets to dummy with the ten and queen of clubs to ru� two more spades.

South can then cash the ace of trumps and overtake his queen to draw trumps with the king and ten. He wins the last three tricks with the A-K of clubs and ace of diamonds.

Dear Harriette: My family had a horrible scare recently. My hus- band was in a car ac-cident and got seriously hurt. We have been mar-ried for 10 years and have two young children. Because we are both young, we hadn’t really thought about things like accidents, illness, death — none of that. Now that my husband is injured and out of work indefi-nitely, we are in quite a bind. We applied for worker’s compensation, but we have none of the things that will protect a family. Well, my husband has a small insurance policy through his job, but it’s not going to be enough if he isn’t able to go back to work. We don’t know the first thing about getting this part of our life in order. What should we do?

— In Jeopardy, Denver

Answer: It is a bless-ing that your husband is alive. I join you in pray-ing for his full recovery.

Because you are not savvy about finances and

insurance, I recommend that you immediately get help. Start with your husband’s job.

Contact the human resources department and find out exactly what protection your husband has. Learn if you can add to his insurance policy. Find out if he has disabil-ity insurance.

Next, contact a finan-cial professional to get support learning which tools are right for you. You can work with a life insurance company or a bank to identify what protection your family needs and can a�ord.

“On the 51st day of Christ-mas, my true love said to me, ‘You take this way too seri-ously.’” — gra�ti.

How seriously do you take your bridge? Not at all? Too much? For most players, bridge is a social pastime. Tournament bridge has always been an intensely competitive world, but the face of tourna-ments has changed. To give its members what they want and prosper financially, the Amer-ican Contract Bridge League o�ers a deluge of events that let players achieve without ever facing strong opposi-tion.

The e�ect has been to re-move the incentive to get bet-ter, and the standard of play in an average game has sunk. The winners merely receive the most “gifts” — benefit-ting from poor play by others — whether it’s Christmas or not. Unless the ACBL provides meaningful competition, the day will come when “Life Master” ranking will mean nothing.

Study and practice are nec-essary to improve. How many aspiring players would handle today’s slam? After South ru�s the first spade, he might cash the A-K of trumps. If trumps broke 2-2, he would be safe. As it is, he takes only 11 tricks.

For an extra chance, South leads a low diamond at Trick Two. If West wins and errs by leading another spade, South can “reverse the dummy.” He ru�s and gets to dummy with the ten and queen of clubs to ru� two more spades.

South can then cash the ace of trumps and overtake his queen to draw trumps with the king and ten. He wins the last three tricks with the A-K of clubs and ace of diamonds.

Dear Harriette: My family had a horrible scare recently. My hus- band was in a car ac-cident and got seriously hurt. We have been mar-ried for 10 years and have two young children. Because we are both young, we hadn’t really thought about things like accidents, illness, death — none of that. Now that my husband is injured and out of work indefi-nitely, we are in quite a bind. We applied for worker’s compensation, but we have none of the things that will protect a family. Well, my husband has a small insurance policy through his job, but it’s not going to be enough if he isn’t able to go back to work. We don’t know the first thing about getting this part of our life in order. What should we do?

— In Jeopardy, Denver

Answer: It is a bless-ing that your husband is alive. I join you in pray-ing for his full recovery.

Because you are not savvy about finances and

insurance, I recommend that you immediately get help. Start with your husband’s job.

Contact the human resources department and find out exactly what protection your husband has. Learn if you can add to his insurance policy. Find out if he has disabil-ity insurance.

Next, contact a finan-cial professional to get support learning which tools are right for you. You can work with a life insurance company or a bank to identify what protection your family needs and can a�ord.

Sudoku

Dear Annie: My hus-band and I have been married for 20 years, and we have three children under 15. He has always been a bit of a night owl, but now, in his mid-50s, he’s turning into my 80-year-old father.

My husband works from 8 a.m. until 5, comes home and eats dinner and then sits on the couch. He falls asleep watching TV and then isn’t tired again until midnight. He goes to bed and wakes up at 4 a.m. and can’t fall asleep again, so he turns on the TV, falls asleep and is up at 7 a.m. for the day.

I don’t resent him for not helping with chores, but he sleeps when the kids are home from school, and they rarely get a chance to have quality time together. The biggest problem is when we go on vacation. He’ll skip the naps for a day or two and is crabby with everyone. Of course, he cannot see that this is because of his sleep patterns and blames us for making him angry.

I believe if he went to bed at 11 p.m. and woke up at 7 a.m., he would get the full eight hours he needs and would be awake when the rest of us are. He won’t entertain any of my suggestions, and it makes him angry even to talk about it.

— Help

Dear Help: It sounds as though your husband has a sleep disorder. He is tired when he gets home because he doesn’t sleep su�ciently at night. So he naps. The nap tides him over until midnight, but because he’s already slept a couple of hours, he isn’t tired enough to sleep the rest of the night. It has become a vicious cycle that he doesn’t know how to change. He may even have sleep apnea that interferes with his rest at night. Please approach this like the medical issue it is. Suggest he speak to his doctor and get a refer-ral to a sleep clinic.

Dear Annie: My heart went out to “Grieving,” the grandmother whose toddler grandson died in an accidental drowning.

I am a lifeguard. We teach a program for kids ages 9 months to 3 years called “Float for Life.” This program helps chil-dren develop the reflex of keeping their heads above water. In some cases, they are even able to learn the elementary backstroke. Please tell your readers to check at their local pools for options like this. It could save many young lives.

“No matter what happens, there will always be somebody who knew it would.” — Cy the Cynic

“I was West in a penny game,” a club player told me, “and Unlucky Louie was East. When North bid four spades, Louie doubled. I knew what would happen, but I could only sit and watch.”

West led the king of hearts, and South took dummy’s ace and expected a hor-rendous trump break; Louie could have no side-suit tricks. So South took the A-K of clubs, ru�ed a club and cashed the A-K of diamonds. He ru�ed dummy’s last club and ru�ed a diamond in dummy, as Louie had to follow.

EIGHT TRICKS Having won the first eight tricks,

South led a heart, and Louie had to ru�. He next led the king of trumps. Declarer took dummy’s ace and had the 10-9 of trumps in dummy and the seven in his hand. Louie had Q-J-6. When dummy led the last heart, Louie couldn’t stop South from scoring one more trump trick.

“I knew it,” West sighed. Louie’s double was wrong. It figured

to gain a little or lose a lot.

You might make a major change in how you structure your lives together. ARIES knows how to trigger you.

TODAY IN HISTORYToday is Monday, Dec. 29, the 363rd day of 2014. There are two days left in the year.

MY ANSWER

Kids miss out on the ‘reason for the season’

Q: I’m afraid we gave up trying to teach our children the real meaning of Christ-mas this year. We had good intentions, but we got busy and they were interested in other things, so Jesus kind of got left out. What can we do di�erently next year?

— Mrs. N.N.

A: I’m sorry you didn’t carry through on your intentions, but at least you realize Christmas should be centered on Jesus. Too often today, we’ve forgotten the angel’s announcement on that first Christmas: “I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people” (Luke 2:10).

How can you overcome this problem next Christmas? The key is to make Je-sus part of your family’s life — not just at Christmas, but every day of the year! Then next year, it will be natural for you to turn your children’s attention to the im-portance of Jesus’ birth, and why he alone is the “reason for the season.”

How can you make Jesus part of your family’s daily life? First, take time as a family to pray and to read from the Bible every day. Make church an important part of your family’s life, also. In addition, talk with your children about Jesus and what he wants to do in their lives — not in a forced way, but naturally and warmly. Nothing is more important than help-ing your children understand who Jesus is and why he came into the world. The Bible says, “Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home” (Deuteronomy 11:19).

Above all, ask God to help you be an example to them every day of Christ’s im-portance to you — both by what you say and what you do. They may not always remember what you say, but they’ll re-member what you do.
