Christian Heineking won his third Germantown Charity Horse Show Grand Prix last Saturday, his sec-ond in two years, as the ive-day show came to a close.

Heineking, of Fort Worth, Texas, rode Joshua Ta-bor’s horse “Cluny” through two clear rounds to claim irst place in the $25,000 event. The pair also won the $15,000 Welcome Stakes event June 4.

Heineking, 34, said he has only been paired with Cluny for six weeks, “so I’m pretty excited about him.”

Heineking rode a total of three horses in the Grand Prix, two of which made it through the irst round without penalties, called faults, and into the second round, called the jump of.

Of the 23 entries, ive horses made it to the jump of. Nashville native Louise Graves, riding her horse Za-vira, set the bar high with a clear round in 42 seconds.

Heineking rode Cluny to a clear round in 38 seconds. He had the chance to beat himself with his second horse, but knocked down one of the jumps. Graves, who is only 16 years old, took home second place.

Germantown native Michael Tokaruk did not make the jump of but came in seventh place.

Heineking said he thought the course was techni-cal but fair, and said he always enjoys coming to the Germantown show. This was his fourth appearance in the Grand Prix.

“The people are very friendly,” the native of Ger-many said. “It’s a nice place to come.”

Show president Jimmy Chancellor said the Grand Prix attracted 23 riders from across the country, in-cluding several young riders. Four of the entries were teenagers. Two additional riders withdrew right be-fore the class was set to begin.

GERMANTOWN CHARITY HORSE SHOW

Two-time winner

On Saturday the Town of Collierville held its an-nual Relay for Life fund-raiser for cancer research.

The event began with the Survivors Lap and as cancer survivors and care-givers walked, supporters were on hand to cheer them on. Meanwhile most of 33 teams participating in this year’s relay had sched-ules posted to be sure its members were on hand to walk the laps their donors and sponsors had com-

mitted to the fundraising efort.

The Collierville Relay for Life event has been in existence since 1997 and has been one of the largest such fundraising events in the State of Tennessee. In 2012 their eforts raised in excess of $31,000.

This fundraiser is not only about the people who have lost their battle with cancer, this efort is largely in support of those who won that battle.

The hundreds of people who turned out to raise money to walk and to sup-port the fundraising efort proved that Collierville does care. The fundraising efort continues through the end of August.

The last thing Brady Thornbury expected June 6 was to be center stage hold-ing onto a Best of the Preps award. Or that his grandfa-ther, John, would beat him to the trophy.

“I didn’t expect this, and I wasn’t even sure I was going to get here,” said Thornbury, a goalkeeper who led Collier-ville to the state Class AAA inals in his senior season. “My girlfriend’s family and I left Disney World at 4:45 this morning and drove all day. Her dad was going 100 mph through the rain trying to get me here. I got to the house at 6:45, showered, got dressed in the car and got here 20 minutes late. So we went to the balcony.”

John Thornbury was downstairs “and had no idea Brady was here” when he heard his grandson’s name called. He igured somebody had better get the trophy, but as he stepped on stage the shouts of “Brady’s HERE!” came from the rafters of The Duncan-Williams Perfor-mance Hall at Germantown Performing Arts Center.

Still it took some time. “I got lost once on my way down,” Brady said. “But it’s a cool thing. My Grandfather’s done a lot of cool things.”

Equally surprised to be on-stage, together, were St. Ag-nes’ Caroline Cook and ECS’ Kate Jamison, who shared the Private Schools Female Athlete of the Year award — the irst tie at that level in the BOP’s 45-year history.

Oicials are still reeling that a Collierville man was arrested recently for having a meth lab in his home within sight of Collier-ville High.

Except for a meth lab bust in 2009, Collierville police rarely

see such operations. In fact, Memphis police made this arrest.

Michael M. Rainey, 42, was set to appear in court at 201 Poplar on June 10 on a host of charges for using and making metham-phetamine.

“It concerns me that there’s one (meth lab) in the town much less that close” to the town’s high school, Collierville Supt. John Ait-ken said. The home is .2 of a mile from CHS.

Police also found stolen prop-erty at the home, two all-terrain

vehicles and a boat valued at $5,000. Collierville Police have returned one ATV — valued at $5,000 — to its owner.

According to a court aidavit, a Memphis detective reviewing online log books tracking over-the-counter purchases of sinus medicines containing pseudo-ephedrine found Rainey bought the medicines 33 times between Feb. 15, 2012, and May 30, 2014.

On June 4, Memphis police waited until Rainey left his home. They stopped him for speeding

on Byhalia Road. Rainey allowed police to search his vehicle. They found four blue pills that were Alprazolam, a Schedule 4 nar-cotic, and a capsule of Adderall, a Schedule 2 narcotic, in a pill bottle with the label scratched of.

The aidavit said Rainey told police he had meth labs at his home, and he gave them permis-sion to search the home.

In the Winwood Farms subdi-vision just of Byhalia and Frank roads, neighbors either declined to talk about the situation or

claimed they were unaware of Rainey’s arrest in the 600 block of Winlawn. The area is illed with one- and two-story homes with trimmed and landscaped lawns.

Much of the cooking of the meth was done in plastic contain-ers as police listed drain cleaner, ammonium nitrate and three one-pot bottles used in what is com-monly called shake-and-bake operations. Based on what Col-lierville police told him, Joyner said, “It was not an active meth lab but had been one in the past.”

“I don’t think we had that many this year,” he said. “Weather’s a big factor.”

The show was rained out last Friday evening,

but all events were able to be rescheduled for last Saturday morning.

“We just had a couple nights of showers, or downpours, really,” Chan-cellor said.

The rain held out through the Grand Prix, although a few other per-formances later in the evening took place during some rain showers.

The irst round of the

Grand Prix was delayed briely so the crowd could watch or listen to the run-ning of the Belmont Stakes. In the hopes of witnessing a Triple Crown winner in California Chrome, spec-tators crowded around a television in the German-town Commissary pavil-ion to watch the race. The audio feed was also played over the loudspeakers at the show.

Members of the Memphis Griz-zlies’ drumline, the Grizzline, banged a lively beat beneath the warm sun last Saturday morning at Shelby Farms to celebrate the 700 people who gathered to walk for a cure for arthritis.

Individuals, couples and fami-lies pushing strollers and walking dogs traversed the wooded trails in an efort to raise awareness and money to fund research.

Signs lined pathways at the park reading “arthritis is unacceptable!” and “arthritis doesn’t discrimi-nate!”

Organizer Michelle Dooner, director of development and ser-vices for the Arthritis Foundation in Memphis, said the fundraising goal of $125,000 was surpassed.

Cedric Isom, 41, of Arlington, walked alongside his wife, Leslie, 43. Isom said he has had arthritis

for ive years.“It runs in my family,” he said. “I

don’t let it stop me.” Hank Pellegrin, 50, and his wife,

Cristie, 47, brought their children and their dogs, a golden retriever puppy named Vito and a border collie mix named Matt.

The Pellegrins work for medi-cal device companies that manu-facture replacements for arthritic joints.

“It’s a great day for family, a great day for team building for our companies and it raises aware-ness,” Cristie Pellegrin said.

“It supports our mission,” Hank Pellegrin said. “And it’s fun.”

Mary Hand, 62, of Cordova, who teaches arthritis rehabilitation classes to seniors, ran an educa-tional booth.

“(Arthritis) is a life-changing thing,” she said.

Arthritis is an inlammation of the joints and there are more than 100 types, according to the Arthri-tis Foundation. More than 50 mil-

lion adults and 300,000 children are afected by the disease.

Arlene Lorimer, 67, of Milling-ton, was sitting with her 4-year-old granddaughter, Bradyn Lorimer, who has arthritis.

Bradyn’s parents noticed her limping last year and took her to doctors.

“It was really hard the last year,” Lorimer said. On some mornings she could not stand or walk. “Lit-tle children run and play and she would sit and draw. We would do puzzles.”

But Bradyn has improved with treatment, Lorimer said.

“It’s been a challenge, but she’s a sweetheart and she’s a sassy little sweetheart now that she feels bet-ter,” Lorimer said.

Through the event, Lorimer said her family met other families who have children with arthritis.

“It’s great to see this kind of sup-port,” Lorimer said.

In the afternoon heat, Ruth Eiren’s cowgirl hat slides down the bridge of her nose as she canters her horse Lillie around the outdoor ring. If she has a hard time seeing where she’s going, it doesn’t seem to bother her.

No matter how far her hat falls, her ear-to-ear smile and deep dimples are always visible.

It’s the smile one might expect on any 14-year-old girl in her element. But for the girl known as Ruthie, that smile was diicult for many years.

When Ruthie was 5 years old, other students at a school in New Zealand at-tacked her, leaving her with hundreds of stitches and in deep depression.

“I was so used to hiding in my room where no one would ind me,” she said.

After moving to the United States, her mother brought Ruthie to the Old West Special Trails riding facility in Eads. The barn ofers riding lessons for kids and adults and also provides special needs and inancial aid pro-grams. The horses and the other girls at the barn helped dig Ruthie out of her depression.

“Riding horses healed me,” she said.Saturday night, Ruthie and the 11

other girls between 12 and 18 years old in the barn’s Grand Entry Team will perform at the Germantown Charity Horse Show following the Grand Prix.

Their western-style riding routine is a combination of drill team and synchronized riding. They each have a partner they watch throughout the routine to keep everyone going at the same pace. The performance has a patriotic and country-western theme with cowgirl hats and lags.

Debbie Cooley, along with her hus-band, Danny Cooley, owns the barn and trains the girls. Debbie Cooley’s goal is never to be the best at competi-tion but to give the girls a fun outlet.

“Riding helps every single girl,” she said. “These horses build their coni-dence and make them feel better when they leave. And that’s all of our jobs.”

It’s a job for which Cooley had to ight. She tries to ind sponsors for all the kids who can’t aford riding lessons, but no child is turned away. Danny Cooley works construction jobs to keep the barn going. He believes it’s worth it to give the kids a safe place to spend time when not in school.

Several of the girls joke about times they tried to sleep over in the barn and aren’t exaggerating when they say they are there every day.

The team performs at shows around the region, but this will be their irst performance at the Germantown show.

“Since we’ll be in our hometown, we’ll have a much larger crowd com-ing for us,” James said.

Riding high


901-529-2372

At the height of her equestrian career, Olym-pic gold medalist Melanie Smith Taylor knew she and her beloved horse, Calyp-so, could beat anyone in the world.

Ego wasn’t driving that notion. She knew the work she put in and her relation-ship with Calypso. She also had the ribbons and trophies to support her conidence.

In a sport where a com-mon question is: “Doesn’t the horse do most of the work?”, Taylor, a German-town native, knows more than anyone how much work a rider must do.

Taylor conveyed her ex-periences and knowledge last weekend by provid-ing color commentary for the Grand Prix event at the Germantown Charity Horse Show.

“There’s a lot that goes into it, a lot of technical aspects to it, so just help-ing people understand those pieces,” Taylor said. She explained how a rider plans a route to certain jumps and the challenges a course of jumps presents.

The Grand Prix was the last major event of the ive-day show, and drew elite riders from across the country to compete for a share of a $25,000 prize. Riders had to direct their horse over a course of jumps, most over ive feet high, in a certain amount of time.

Announcing also allows Taylor to give back to the show that launched her into the world of competi-tion.

Taylor was 5 years old, living in Germantown and helping her mother with her training barn when she rode in the show’s costume class.

“It was just such a big deal to get ready for the Germantown show be-cause they had great big trophies, and it was just so exciting,” Taylor said.

She showed in Ger-mantown through her teens before moving to Connecticut for full-time training with the best in the nation. She competed internationally and quali-ied for the 1980 Olympic team. With the U.S. boy-cott of the games, Taylor and her team were left to wait another four years.

“It was such a disap-pointment because you don’t always have the right horse at the right time, and you’re lucky if you make it to one Olympics,” she said. “But I was lucky enough to make it four years later and have a great horse.”

She was the only mem-ber of the 1980 team to re-

turn in 1984. The team won the irst gold for the United States in show jumping. Ev-ery Olympics since, except Athens in 2004, Taylor has been on the sidelines or in the NBC studios providing commentary for the games.

Horse show officials were excited to have Tay-lor’s expertise and experi-ence, show publicity chair-woman Wanda Chancellor said. She said she hoped Taylor’s presence helped make the show world more accessible to those unfamil-iar with the sport.

“We can draw in the horse people, but we re-ally try hard to draw in the spectators,” Chancellor said, adding.

Taylor said the German-town show is a great event for people who have never watched a horse show. “It’s still a hometown show and it’s still so fun to come and sit on the bleachers in the evening and see old friends and watch the classes,” Taylor said. “It’s just fun. It’s just sort of an old-timey country show feeling.”

By Kim OdomSpecial to The Weekly

Innovative, creative, ener-gizing, active and hands-on are all words used by Connie Caldwell to describe Camp Invention, which was held at Crosswind Elementary.

In its 10th year at the school in Collierville, Caldwell, who is the camp director, said the national acclaimed program is going better than ever. For the irst time the school reached 110 participants, the maximum allowed to register for Camp Invention.

This year’s national camp theme is “Morphed!” This summer, schools throughout the nation will divide camp-ers into ive groups and rotate the youngsters from station to station where they will ex-plore the concept of morphing through a wide variety of an-gles — from creating their own motorized vehicles to ways our senses can morph into bionic powers.

Throughout the camp, partic-ipants were morphed through an innovated week of designing, inventing and tinkering while engaged in various hands-on problem solving activities like taking apart old radios, VCRs and other devices to build and create an epic Pinbug, a pinball machine with an insect theme. They were challenged to ind materials inside the machinery that would help create bumpers, lippers, launchers and win the Pinbug jackpot. Other activi-ties included Super Go, where campers built morphing vehi-cles, tunnels and ramps. On the last day of camp, they young-sters raced their vehicles in the Super Go Road Rally. Everyday there was something more chal-lenging than the day before.

Crosswind Elementary stu-dent Tommy Daniels was glad

to be at Camp Invention versus a sport camp or community day camp.

“It (Camp Invention) allows you to do things your way,” said the rising fourth grader. “At Camp Invention, you get to show and build your ideas and show what you know.”

Daniels added that he wants to be a modern day Albert Ein-stein and says he already has some good ideas about a future portal that would replace buses and transport people.

Camp Invention is open to irst-grade students through those entering sixth grade at area schools ofering the camp. Caldwell said, “This is the age where they are most excited — that wanderlust is still there. Things still excite them.”

Under her direction, Caldwell has the help of an as-sistant director, ive instructors

who are teachers at Crosswind, 10 leadership interns, who are high school students, along with three leadership interns who were student teachers during the school year and graduates of University of Memphis.

As a second-grade teacher, Caldwell has an obvious love for science, adventure and possibil-ity that has led the way for her as the director of Camp Inven-tion at the school for eight years. She was an instructor the irst two years. Her hope for ofer-ing the program at Crosswind is that after a week of innovative thinking and problem solving, campers go home encouraged to be creative. She said, “The hope is the creativity, the love of learning, the love of explor-ing, and to go on and later pos-sibly become an engineer or do something where they keep thinking outside of the box.”

Au pair Lidiane Bombarde, Priscila Lins, Elena Ivanovska, Nata-lia Benatti, Andrea Gonzalez, Angelie Alguera and Emily Jiang shared traditional foods from their country at the recent meal exchange party, hosted by Kelcie Phillips of Germantown.

By Kelcie PhillipsSpecial to The Weekly

If you are like me you have found yourself at times questioning “What should I make for dinner tonight?” Then thinking, why don’t I run by the Hope Kitchen and pick something up? Perhaps Katie’s Kitchen is closer so you make a pit stop for one of the casseroles on your way home from work. My girlfriends and I had those same thoughts therefore we decided to create our own “meal exchange” night. We each prepared six of the same dishes, met at one of our homes, enjoyed dessert and then divided up the meals between us. It worked beautifully and our families enjoyed a dif-ferent home cooked meal for an entire week, while none of us were stuck in the kitchen cooking each and every night.

Each month I meet with a group of Au Pair Care au pairs where we enjoy activities such as Barbe-cue Fest, walking in the Germantown Parade and even playing the beloved southern dice game Bunco. While brainstorming ideas for upcoming events, it dawned on me that I should host a meal exchange party but with a cultural twist.

My event evolved into a cultural meal exchange party with each au pair preparing a meal from her home country that would feed six people. Once ev-eryone arrived at my Ger-mantown home, the ladies wrote down the meal they brought and numbered them. Elena from Macedo-nia brought a traditional village meal made of rice, chicken and cream of mushroom soup and Emily

from China prepared a dish that she called “big dump-lings” which were dump-lings stufed with chicken and vegetables. Natalia from Brazil brought a tra-ditional carrot cake. When I asked her why she chose to prepare a dessert as her meal, she replied, “Many Brazilians enjoy dessert so much that we eat it in-stead of dinner”. We both laughed and decided des-sert is always better irst.

After enjoying each oth-er’s company for the eve-ning, each au pair drew a number which designated the meal she would take home to her host fam-ily. The plan was for each host family and au pair to experience a meal from a country that was diferent from where their own au pair currently living with them and caring for their children is from. My fam-ily was fortunate enough to share homemade cheese tortilla’s prepared by An-gelie from Costa Rica. The tortillas were fabulous, while my spaghetti was enjoyed by the host family of Emily from China.

We all agreed this monthly event was a huge success and I thoroughly enjoyed seeing the enthu-siasm shared by the au pairs as they explained their preparations, their traditional food customs and their excitement over the anticipated pleasure of sharing their new meal with the family and chil-dren whom they care for with love each day. This event provided yet anoth-er way that these au pairs were able to enrich the lives of their host families by sharing cultures from around the world.

Flight is a popular place. The concept is great: Small plates, choices for com-bining already made for you to keep it simple. The location is ideal for foot traic, at the corner of Monroe and South Main, and there’s a valet so you don’t have to look for a parking spot Downtown if you want to take advan-tage of it.

And the food is mostly, though not uniformly, excellent.

Flights of wine are nothing new, but it’s always been fun to try new wines this way. Instead of one glass of wine, a light brings you (typically) three, served in about a 2-ounce pour. You drink from the lightest to the heartiest and get to enjoy three tastes without paying for three full glasses of wine, or of taking in the alcohol of three full glasses.

At Flight, the concept expands not only to liquor but to food. Get a salad light and you have three small salads to try instead of one large one. Same with soup, with appetizers, entrees, and des-sert. Why order a steak when you can have a steak light? Shrimp and grits when you can also get a lobster-biscuit dish and scallops?

What if you want a bit of each? You’re in luck, because at Flight you can mix and match too. You can have mahi mahi, elk chop and chicken and wales, if that’s what loats your culi-nary boat. If you’re not in the mood for small plates, you can order any entree full size, and if you’re a light eater, you can order just one small plate instead of a trio.

The menu, when you combine all the choices, is large. Be sure you don’t over-look the elk chop at dinner; it’s hard to believe that anyone who likes red meat won’t love it.

Elk is very low in fat, even lower than chicken, yet the hearty meat is similar in texture to velvety lamb chops. It’s a very red meat, not the slightest bit gamy, and served here with a sweet Kahlua glaze on a soft nest of mac and cheese with trule oil and mushrooms. It is a lovely dish that comes with one warning: If you don’t eat meat cooked medium-rare or less, don’t order it. Served just a bit under medium-rare, it was lush and as described, but elk is tough if overcooked.

It’s part of the steak light at dinner, which also features a ilet that is good. It’s tender and tasty here because of the bordelaise sauce pooled around

the mashed Yukon Gold potatoes. The third course is the chef’s cut of the day, which I believe was a couple of small pieces of rib-eye steak, judging by the tough stringiness of the cut and the server’s comment that she was told it was “prime rib.”

The shrimp and grits on the seafood light was excellent, spicy and creamy. The lobster biscuit and gravy came in second; the sea scallop Benedict, a dis-tant third.

Dessert followed the same pattern for me — it was easy to rate irst, a close second and third. (though my co-diner loved all three). We mixed and matched a bit on the inal course, substituting one chocolate dish for the cheesecake in the traditional lineup that included a creme brulee and Key lime pie.

Creme brulee is my favorite dessert, and this one could not have been better (well, only if it had been bigger, though it was appropriately sized). The custard was excellent, luxurious with that de-ceptive feeling of lightness, sweet and perfectly ofset by the bittersweet crisp of burnt sugar on top. The Key lime was over the top, thick and rich and served with a scoop of tart Key lime sorbet.

The third plate was a brownie wrapped in phyllo dough, served with a warm chocolate sauce and a scoop of ice cream. The phyllo was annoy-ing, soggy and papery under the sauce, just a big mess to eat. But the lavor was intensely chocolate and the vanilla ice cream very good.

I’ve eaten lunch at Flight twice re-cently and thoroughly enjoyed it both

times. The daily home-cooking spe-cial changes and I was lucky enough to be there on a day when fried chicken was ofered and it was great. So was the fried okra, sliced lengthwise, crisp and salty. I returned, after that deca-dent meal, for a light of salads.

I could eat the strawberry salad ev-ery day. There’s a sweetness in the aged balsamic vinegar and in the berries, but this is nothing like those cloying fruit-dotted green salads I avoid at all costs. Served with toasted almonds and tangy shavings of Beemster goat cheese, this salad is full of contrasting lavors that blend beautifully.

The Cobb salad, even in the small plate version, is hearty enough for a meal. It’s so full of bacon, avocado, egg and blue cheese that I didn’t even notice the chicken was missing. I did notice that the Santa Fe grilled chicken salad was missing half its title ingredient and pointed it out to my server. He, in turn, informed me that the chicken was also missing from my Cobb salad, and he de-livered plenty of grilled slices for both.

The New Orleans light at lunch was very good — a seafood po’boy served with a nice plate of redish étoufée and a lovely dark gumbo.

Flight is a pretty place, clubby inside but lightened up because of large win-dows. There’s a small patio, nice when the weather is pretty. It’s an ambitious restaurant that works when it delivers, but with laws that could be easily ixed.

Over three meals, I encountered ser-vice errors three times.

A big deal? Maybe not, but when a dinner sets you back about the same amount as a top-tier cable/Internet package and lasts only one hour, 15 minutes, it should be irst class.

When Dina Martin observed her birthday last Saturday, hundreds of guests she never met

visited her garden, one of ive on the “Through Our Garden Gates” tour sponsored by Mem-phis Area Master Gardeners.

“It will be a celebration of the garden and the hard work that went into creating it,” Martin said before the event.

She and her husband, Brad Martin, built their Scottish-style manor home near the Memphis Pink Palace Museum seven years ago.

“People said we were crazy to build on 4 acres, but I’m an ‘out-of-my-mind’ garden-er so I love it,” said Martin, who completed her Master Gardening training through University of Tennessee Extension in 2001.

Martin consulted with garden designer Tom Pellett and Dale Skaggs, director of horticulture at Dixon Gallery and Gardens, in choosing some 100 small to medium-sized trees, including lowering cherries for the understory of the mature shade trees already there.

When one of her favorite shade trees died, she devised a way of preserving the beech’s presence for a few more years.

She and Pellett came up with a plan to save a portion of the beech’s trunk and some of its branches. Some other limbs serve as supports, much like the lying buttresses of Gothic church architecture.

The structure, which is illuminated at night, was painted with Rhino Shield, a tough exterior coating.

Martin invests in perennials, including natives and shrubs like boxwood of many sizes and shapes, azaleas and bottlebrush buckeyes. She plants only a few annuals each year.

“Outside the gate to the property is a for-mal space where a plethora of petite ver-sions of large perennials thrives. Among them are beebalm, lambs ears, conelowers, several ornamental grasses and boxwood.

In a bed near the house, colonies of ble-tia or native orchids and oakleaf hydran-geas thrive along with several Empress of China dogwoods, a small evergreen va-riety with lowers similar to those of the kousa dogwood.

As visitors approach the house, they will walk through iron gates to reach the enclosed motor court, which is also a play zone with a basketball hoop.

Through a gate leading to the back yard, visitors can look up and see the white lace-cap lowers of Moonlight, a climbing hy-drangea about six years old.

Nearby a mass planting of Walker’s Low catmint in a quadrangular arrangement of beds is aglow with lavender-blue lowers. It’s a perennial she uses in several areas for its trouble-free mounds of aromatic gray-green leaves and spiky lowers that will have some repeat lowers until frost if sheared back after the irst bloom.

A vegetable garden will one day replace the catmint.

A stony dry creek bed that takes excess water away from the property is lined with

moisture-loving plants. Because a big magnolia casts deep shade

on the area, Martin chose hostas with chartreuse leaves to brighten it.

INSIDE DESIGN

Around this time each year, street corners throughout Memphis and the ’burbs get more colorful — from signs advertising garage sales, not from lora and fauna. For avid treasure hunters, it’s an excit-ing season.

I’ve always been a fan of trash-to-treasure. Finding great pieces takes work and so can getting them ready to reuse, but to me the beneits of recycled furniture and ac-cessories make it worth the efort. Not only is it the epit-ome of green design, but the right “found object” can also add character and interest to a space.

By that I mean any space; these days, eclectic is the buzzword in home style. Even a high-end, stylish home beneits from a blend of styles and price points. I know many designers who mix antique shop and estate sale inds with trade-exclu-sive pieces.

The question is, where’s the best place to shop?

Garage and estate sales, Craigslist and other online swap meets, lea markets, thrift shops, antiques stores — all of these resources of-fer their own pros and cons. My own favorite inds have come from vintage markets and secondhand shops, but I’ve been in great spaces decorated largely with items scored on Craigslist.

The key with any of these sources is knowing when to buy and when to walk away.

For this I turn to expert treasure hunter and hobby decorator Amber Zinn. Al-most every piece in Zinn’s Cordova home came from a garage sale, Craigslist or some sort of bargain bin.

“There may be a few piec-es that I actually paid de-cent money for,” Zinn said, laughing. “I can literally go through my house and point and say, ‘Garage sale, garage sale, Craigs list, garage sale, free.’”

Among her proudest inds is her small, round break-fast room table, which Zinn scored last summer on Craig-slist for $40. After restaining the top and spray painting the pedestal base, she paired it with two wicker chairs she also bought on Craigslist and two chairs she already owned. She painted the exist-ing chairs the same creamy white as the table’s base.

Here are a few tips from Zinn on scoring great inds and making them work in your space:

Look for shapes: When Zinn visits garage sales or re-sale websites, she looks past a piece’s inish and studies its underlying shape. “You can’t get bogged down with, ‘This has scratches on it or this is an ugly color or this has ugly handles on it.’ You can ix all of that.”

Buy what you love: This mantra works as well for secondhand shopping as it does in a conventional store. When Zinn spies a piece that catches her eye, she buys it — sometimes not knowing where in her house it will land or what it might have to re-place. “If I like it, I get it, take it home and ind where I can make it work.” Garage sale prices make that philosophy feasible, she added.

Keep an open mind: Zinn hardly ever heads out on expedition to ind a speciic piece secondhand.

Prep in advance: Garage sales tend to ofer the best deals, but they’re also the most work-intensive venue to navigate. Zinn uses sale ads to make a list, which she then organizes by location to form her Saturday-morning strategy.

“THROUGH OUR GARDEN GATES”The tour of ive gardens, sponsored by Memphis Area Master Gardeners, was held last Saturday. Demonstrations were ofered at each garden, including dish gardens, leaf casting, terrariums, garden safety, propagation, hypertufa and growing roses, irises, dafodils and African violets. Go to memphismastergardeners.org for more information.In addition to the garden of Dina and Brad Martin at 410 Goodwyn, the other open gardens were:

■ The garden of Suzy Manley, 4525 Barield, featuring a waterfall emptying into a swimming pool, terraces, dry creek beds to improve drainage and plants for sun and shade, many of them gleaned from the gardens of her mother, sister and friends.

■ Catherine Lewis’ do-it-yourself garden at 354 Sequoia Cove has evolved over 30 years and now includes a shade garden with ferns, a large hosta collection and a sunny backyard illed with perennials, annuals, carnivorous plants and a mini water garden.

■ Because Pam Caruso’s garden at 10252 Oak Levee in Lakeland is a certiied wildlife habitat as well as a monarch way station, visitors

will ind lots of native plants attractive to butterlies, birds, bees and other critters as well as humans. She uses low-maintenance plants for year round interest and recycled items to make benches, glass lowers and more.

■ Denny Garner, who lives at 4213 Herons Pond Lake in Lakeland, turned a steep slope into a usable garden by making terraced beds illed with annuals, perennials, trees, water features and garden art. His sense of whimsy is evidenced in areas named Enchanted, Frogs and Friends and Wings and Things. Garden spaces have also been created especially for prayer and Asian elements.

Talk about brotherly love.Griin Davis of Germantown caught

enough catish, including a 7.4-pound-er, to win his division at the recent 14th Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agen-cy’s Mid-South Junior Fishing Rodeo at Johnson Road Park in Germantown

If Griin’s last name sounds famil-iar, it should.

His brother, Maddox, was the ro-deo’s grand champion in 2013.

And guess who was cheering his brother on in 2014? That’s right — Maddox, who even though he didn’t have a great day of ishing was there to pull for his little brother.

“Maddox was into Griin catching ish,” said their mom, Kim. “He showed a true sportsmanship. He was glad Griin was catching ish, even if he wasn’t.”

There was a lot of teamwork at the 2014 MSJFR, which was won by Mon-tana Simons, 11, who caught 15 catish and ive bream. She gave her grand-father, Mike Mathenia, credit for her claiming the grand championship.

“She just got in a groove catching ish, especially all those catish, but we knew we’d better keep the bream, too,” Mathenia said, noting that “every ish counts” in the rodeo.

Montana, a rising sixth grader at

Treadwell Middle School, won a bike and a cap autographed by legendary angler Bill Dance, who helped distrib-ute prizes after the rodeo ended. She and her immediate family also won a three-day, two-night ishing trip to Blue Bank Resort on Reelfoot Lake courtesy of resort owner Mike Hayes, a longtime rodeo supporter.

About 200 youth ages 6-12 partici-pated in the MSJFR, which is spon-sored by the TWRA’s Region 1 and hosted by the Germantown Parks and Recreation Department. Points are awarded for each ish caught, includ-ing ive for catish and two for bream. More than 1,500 pounds of catish were stocked in the parks’ two lakes.

Montana shared the spotlight with Ward Simmons, 9, a rising fourth grad-er at St. Louis Catholic School whose entry card was drawn to receive a life-time Tennessee hunting and ishing license, a prize donated each year by Jackie Welch of Germantown-based Welch Realty.

Simmons didn’t catch a ish, but he won a prize worth $810, according to his age. He learned about the ishing rodeo through his Cub Scout Pack at school, according to his dad, Sheperd Simmons.

“The youth director at our church was at the rodeo and when he learned that Ward had won the lifetime license he told him he’d just won the biggest prize,” Sheperd’s dad said. “It’s all amazing.”

So amazing that Ward’s dad igures he’ll have to buy a license, now that his

son has one. In fact, it may mean that Ward’s brother and two sisters may end up buying licenses, too.

“You know that’s one of the major reasons we do something like this,” said Dave Rizzuto, the TWRA Region 1 isheries biologist. “It’s a spinof. We

get a youth at a rodeo and they tell someone else about it ... and, eventu-ally, we hope, everybody in the family will buy a license.”

The TWRA hosted 20 youth ishing rodeos on June 7.

TWRA isheries chief Bobby Wil-son, a former Region 1 isheries biolo-gist, attended the rodeo at Johnson Road Lake. So did Bill Cox of Collier-ville, a member of the TWRA’s Fish and Wildlife Commission.

“I put this on my calendar every year,” Cox said.

So does Dance, who came to the rodeo after spending several days at the Legends of Golf outing hosted by Springield, Mo. based Bass Pro Shops.

Bill Dance congratulates Griin Davis for winning his age division. Last year, Griin’s brother, Maddox (left) was the rodeo’s grand champion.

Although ish-ing was the highlight of the rodeo, several lucky anglers took home bikes they won as door prizes.

Collierville Mayor Stan Joyner and Ting Ting Davis share a few words during the Collierville Com-munity Fund reception.

More than 200 show up for annual event

Griin Davis was the winner in his age division at the recent Junior Fishing Rodeo at Johnson Road Park in Germantown. His catch included a 7.4 pound catish.

By Lynn Freehill-MayeSpecial to The Washington Post

North Dakota was liter-ally the last state in the union that I had reason to see. I had visited all

49 others. But the chance to cross of the 50th state before a milestone birthday had my always-game little sister and me pulling into Fargo’s squat brick downtown on a spring Friday.

We weren’t sure what lay ahead. We’d deliberately avoided watching “Fargo,” the Coen brothers’ 1996 black comedy that remains many Americans’ only cultural touch point for North Dakota (and its lat accent). Now, though, avoiding that pop-culture reference has gotten even harder. The new FX show “Fargo,” starring Billy Bob Thornton and based on the movie, premiered in April. National curiosity about what’s there has picked up along with it.

The blank we’d drawn about North Dakota was replaced with sleek prairie art and design as we checked into the Hotel Donaldson. For months, I’d been asking anyone I knew from the upper Midwest what I should see in Fargo. The recommendations that followed were weak, until a friend of a friend, North Dakota State architecture alum Tim Bungert, swore that the Hotel Donaldson was world-class. “There are some awesome changes happen-ing in downtown Fargo,” he said, “and the HoDo is right at the heart of it all.”

We owe him hugely. The HoDo, as locals call it, set the tone for our stay. To our surprise and soon-to-follow delight, it primed us for a weekend of sophisticated design and art in this city of 100,000.

With the HoDo (and its similarly dubbed restaurant), local entrepreneur Karen Stoker made a trendsetting $7 million investment in Fargo’s down-town. That was 15 years ago, back when the area was blighted by panhandlers and hourly-rate motels. Undaunted, Stoker started carving a restored Odd Fellows Lodge into her boutique ho-tel. Today the bedding is luxurious, the speakers are Bose, the good-night trules are house-made, and the bath-room tiles are heated.

What’s more, Stoker had each of the hotel’s 17 rooms designed by a Great Plains artist. Minnesota-based Mike Marth had decorated our Room 13 with nails and other found objects in rusty earth tones. We’d be seeing more of his work later in galleries and museums.

The HoDo’s showstopper is its “sky prairie,” a rooftop bar framed by trellis-es and tall grass, with the most scenic hot tub in town. Not only does the hot tub work year-round, but as we learned later that night, the staf will also keep it open late on request.

In the meantime, feeling less than fresh after the three-hour drive from Minneapolis, we wanted a drink. The sun eased away behind the hotel’s styl-ish neon sign and downtown Fargo beyond. The setup was cosmopoli-tan. So were the cocktails, featuring ingredients such as rhubarb vodka, fresh-squeezed orange juice and gin-ger simple syrup.

Naturally, we toasted to North Da-kota and the number 50. Our waitress seemed slightly confused yet unsur-prised when we explained that it was my inal state to visit. “A lot of people say that,” she said. “I don’t know why.”

North Dakota’s undeserved underrat-ing becomes even clearer at the nearby Plains Art Museum. The 56,000-square-foot building used to be a warehouse for the tractor company International Har-vester. Now it’s looded with light across clean white walls and wooden beams. The spacey “North Dakota Mural” by major pop artist James Rosenquist, a Grand Forks native, is set of by a three-story atrium.

In the museum’s collection, Andy Warhol’s “Four Jackies” sits between “Kiva Rest” by Native American Luise-ño Fritz Scholder and “New Age Fancy Dancer II” by Star Wallowing Bull, a Chippewa.

Blocks away, downtown shops ofer everything from neon wedge sneakers at boutique Lot 2029 to 19th-century irearms at Frontier Americana of Far-go. An arts highlight is the gallery Ecce. All poured concrete, exposed brick and stark walls, it’s been called more Man-hattan than Midwest. Gallery founder Mark Weiler invites yoga classes to be held there, too.

Over at the Hjemkomst Center, beau-tiful craft testiies to the grit of North Dakota’s Scandinavian descendants. The cultural center is technically in Minnesota, just across the Red River in next-door Moorhead. But it’s still within

a half-mile walk of the HoDo, a walk that takes visitors through a riverside park en route.

The story behind the Hjemkomst Center is storybook. In 1971, guidance counselor Robert Asp decided to rep-licate a Viking ship to honor his Nor-wegian heritage — but he developed leukemia soon after. The town pitched in over six years to help build his dream. Asp inally got to sail his ship on Lake Superior before dying four months later.

After their father’s death, Asp’s chil-dren and a few professional Norwegian crew members sailed the ship 6,000 miles. They loated through the Great Lakes to New York and then on to Nor-way. Now the 76-foot-long, 63-foot-high Hjemkomst is on permanent indoor display.

In back of the Hjemkomst Center is an equally ambitious Norwegian crafts-man’s project, the cedar-and-pine Hop-perstad Stave Church. Guy Paulson, a North Dakota State biochemistry pro-fessor, spent ive years carving this full-scale replica of a wooden church that

dates from 1140 back in Vik, Norway. Each of Paulson’s 25,000 impressive hand-carved wooden shingles had to be beveled and pointed at the ends.

Still, the shingles pale in comparison to the spectacular interior, where Paul-son carved Norway pine in the Urness style, complex Viking patterns of inter-twined dragons, plants and animals.

All this art and design necessitate refueling with excellent food. Artsy types frequent Mezzaluna, a local clas-sic that serves high-end cuisine among 6-foot silver clamshell banquettes, an original pressed-tin ceiling and candle-light in a restored 1917 oice building.

Executive chef Eric Watson’s local bison meatloaf is rich. Even more per-fect, though, are his garlic-and-asiago tater tots. Comforting and Midwestern, their fried-potato sizzle takes me back to childhood, to my elementary school cafeteria. But our lunch ladies never infused theirs with ine aged cheese or irresistible garlic. Somehow, these tater tots are just like Fargo itself: still humble, but sophisticated, too.

He tossed and turned last Saturday night, un-able to get more than a few hours of sleep. Ben Crane held a four-stroke lead in the rain-plagued FedEx St. Jude Classic with 30 holes to play and couldn’t ind the peace and serenity he needed to unwind.

“I got maybe an hour-and-half of sleep,” Crane said. “I woke up for two hours. All I was doing was being nervous. I was thinking, ‘How do I slow my heart down?’ I was so nervous, so excited.”

The mental calmness he found so elusive late last Saturday night and early last Sunday returned as he walked back on the course at TPC Southwind. During the inal round of the $5.8 million PGA Tour event, Crane found the fairways and greens as comfortable as a pillow-top bed.

Although he watched his four-stroke advantage shrink to one and even though he failed to make a birdie in the 29 holes he played tee-to-green last Sunday, the Texan and soon-to-be Tennessean never lost faith. Or the lead.

Crane used a conserva-tive closing-round 3-over-par 73 to inish at 10-under 270 for a one-stroke victo-ry over Troy Merritt.

Crane, 38, led wire-to-wire to become the irst to accomplish the feat at the FESJC since Lee West-wood in 2010. He also be-came the irst player on the PGA Tour to win without a inal-round birdie since Justin Leonard in 2005, also at TPC Southwind.

“I don’t think I’ve ever led wire to wire,” Crane said. “That’s very diicult to do. But, man, is it fun.”

Following a season in which he was limited with back problems — and un-certain at one point he’d play any golf this year — Crane found himself in a mild state of disbelief after Sunday’s victory, the ifth of his career and irst in three years.

He outlasted a deep, talented ield to collect a $1.044 million prize and the conidence to play at the level he once did.

Crane opened the fourth round at midmorning with a three-stroke cushion that was trimmed to one after he bogeyed No. 9. Merritt, playing one group ahead of Crane, remained one back until he bogeyed 15. Mer-ritt missed a three-foot putt for par on the hole and never got any closer until Crane played the 18th in conservative fashion.

Aware he had a two-stroke lead at 18, Crane aimed a hybrid approach at the right bunker af-ter hitting his drive into the right rough about 190 yards from the pin.

“That’s exactly where I wanted it,” he said. “I felt I could get it up on the green within 15 feet and two-putt for the win. So the strategy worked out perfect.”

After having missed the cut in four of the past ive tournaments Crane said he didn’t envision his fortune making such a dramatic turn.

“If someone had said, ‘Hey, you can inish 30th this week, will you take it?’ All day, all day. I’ll take that and run, so irst place is amazing.”

2014 FEDEX ST. JUDE CLASSIC

Crane awakens for wire-to-wire victory

each other in the pentath-lon, but Kate does more things. I mainly do dis-tance,” said Cook, a three-time state track champion and four-time top-ive in-isher in cross country who also played basketball.

Jamison was a state pentathlon runner-up as a junior and also starred in basketball and soccer.

“It’s fun (sharing the award). It’s nerve-wrack-ing when you’re nominat-ed and your name doesn’t get called,” she said.

Making the on-stage trip for the second straight year were two-time state 100- and 200-meter champ Maia McCoy of Whitehav-en, and graduating three-time state Division 2-A golf champ Grant Hirschman from St. George’s. Also, Katie Kelsoe of MHEA won her second straight BOP swimming award.

“A lot of great names have won this award and gone on to great careers,” Okla-homa-bound Hirschman said. “That’s what makes it special for me.”

Doing it all was MUS’ Harrison Williams, who repeated as track athlete of the year and added male athlete of the year honors after collecting the state decathlon and a boatload of individual titles at the recent Spring Fling.

It was another huge night for MUS athletes and coach-es. The Owls took home 11 awards, repeating as the Large Private School and overall Boys champions.

Houston had a big haul with 10 awards, including its 16th straight Shelby Sub-urban overall team title. Se-nior track star Katie Tarver earned the Sonny Winters Sportsmanship Award and basketball player Sa-sha Sobolev and volleyball player Emily Richardson swept the Scholar-Ath-lete awards. Also, Kelsey

Pearce was named the Girls Soccer Player of the Year.

St. Agnes won the Girls overall title and six awards, including the Al-bert C. Dunning Award, which went to Constance Connolly, a volleyball player who successfully fought a yearlong battle against stomach cancer and is back playing club ball this spring.

St. George’s won the Small Private School title. The Gryphons also had three individual winners in Grant Hirschman (golf), Wil Barton (swimming) and Dean Brown (Private Schools scholar-athlete).

Collierville athletes took home two addition-al awards, senior Alexa Brainard for girls cross country and sophomore Bayleigh Wisher in softball.

When I was a kid, about 12 or 13 years old, a bunch of us were gathered at a little lake near my home in Alabama, grilling, talking and ishing for carp along the shoreline.

Since carp were known for sometimes yanking rod-and-reels from the forked sticks we used as rod holders — and since he was more into fellowship than ishing that day — my grandfather’s friend, Hu-bert Isbell, had his Zebco One tucked safely beside him with no hook in the wa-ter. But his granddaughter, Stephanie, kept pestering to use it until he inally gave in.

Hubert’s wife, Ruth, agreed to watch the rod to keep it from ending up in the lake. But when a carp doubled the rod over in the forked stick and we all

shouted at her to grab it, she looked up the shore-line like she thought we were pointing at a deer or a bird. I took of running to-ward the rod, but I reached the shoreline just in time to see it shoot into the wa-ter, leaving only a trail of bubbles behind.

Ruth slinked up the bank toward Hubert and offered a sincere, “I’m sorry.”

Hubert’s reply still stands as one of the most comical moments I’ve ever

experienced outdoors.“There ain’t no need in

worrying about it,” he said. “It was just the best one I had.”

Several people who’ve heard me tell that story through the years have suggested I should change the details to say we were ishing for catish instead of a species that so many consider nothing but a trash ish.

But I’ve never been hung up on appearances when it comes to ishing. If it pulls, I’ll ish for it.

I realize that’s not the prevailing attitude during an age when tournaments are held weekly for bass, crappie and catish. But I do feel sorry sometimes for people who totally overlook certain species of ish because they know

there’s no chance they’ll ever help them in a tourna-ment or because they don’t make for the best eating.

My friends and I spent thousands of hours ish-ing for carp when I was younger. These were native common carp that usually topped out at 20 pounds — not the Asian variety that grows to 60 and 70 pounds — but they were still some-times more than you could handle on a rod-and-reel.

I’ve caught tons of them, and there were days when I caught more pounds of ish on one cast than any bass isherman on the lake did all day long.

Did we have anything worth having when I was done?

No. But if you’ll keep a check on local bass tour-nament standings, you’ll

see that most tournament anglers don’t either when the day’s over — and they haven’t had nearly as much fun as we did with those carp.

In the headwaters of Wilson Lake, just below Wheeler Dam on the Ten-nessee River, I’ve caught as many as 13 species in one day of live-bait ishing.

A lot of people ish over there just for the small-mouth bass, striped bass and hybrids. But if I’m re-leasing ish anyway — and that’s usually the case — I value the white bass, cat-ish and drum just as much as the others.

Using ribbon lures for gar, ishing oxbow swamps for bowfin and trolling multi-hook rigs for white and yellow bass during the dog days of summer when

nothing else is biting are all things I’ve enjoyed. The last time I was at Reelfoot Lake, I heard some people talking about snagging for bufalo — the ish, not the animal — and I think that sounds like fun, too.

I understand it takes a lot of time and efort to be successful on these ultra-competitive tournament circuits these days. But don’t let the desire to de-posit a check cause you to overlook ishing for other species that ofer little be-yond pure fun.

You won’t have to worry about whether you’ve got more total weight than all the other boats on the lake.

And best of all, you’ll have a boat load of fun on your own schedule with-out having to pay an entry fee.

So-called ‘trash’ species hold high value for some

For a few moments, Tommy White of Cordova

and Adam Hopper of Bartlett thought they had tied into the ish of a lifetime while stripe ishing on the after-noon of May 30 in the tailrace below Pick-wick Landing Dam.

The gigantic ish took a 6-inch swim bait in the boils at the base of the dam and ran so hard for the irst two or three minutes that White had to chase it with the boat to keep it from emptying all of the line of Hopper’s reel.

Both anglers irst thought they had tied into a striped bass that would weigh 30 pounds or better. But they soon realized it was some-thing diferent — and after a 30-minute ight, they hoisted a 70-pound bighead carp into the boat.

“It was foul-hooked in its bottom dorsal in, so it was just an accident that we caught it,” White said. “It tore some serious drag for about 10-15 seconds. Adam works out all the time, and he had trouble lifting it.”

Since Asian carp are ilter feeders that eat mainly zoo-plankton, they’re almost im-possible to catch on a hook and a line. They won’t bite artii-cial lures, and they even turn up their noses at old standbys like minnows and worms.

Besides accidental hook-ings like the one Hopper and White made last week, there are only two ways to do battle with them on a rod-and-reel — and they both require a little creativity.

Memphis resident Ron Wong is an avid angler and co-host of the weekly radio show “Out-doors with Larry Rea” on WMC-AM 790. Every time the region experiences heavy rainfall like it did this week, he ishes for Asian carp in the 250-acre private lake near his home.

He uses a 7-foot bass rod, a reel equipped with 65-pound-test braided line, a one-ounce sinker and a 7/0 treble hook.

There’s no bait involved.“Those ish like to feed on

zooplankton in heavy current,” Wong said. “So every time a big rain comes and creates some current in the lake, there will be a lot of carp working in the current. All you have to do is cast the rig into the current and give it a big snatch.”

The technique, which is known as “snatching” or “snagging,” is legal on most reservoirs in Tennessee as

long as the catch is limited to rough ish like carp and drum.

Tennessee law says non-game ish may be taken with-out limit, but all game ish, sturgeon and alligator gar are of limits. Catish, paddleish and skipjack can be caught and kept according to local limits.

There are several reasons Wong would like to see more people start doing more snag-ging for Asian carp.

“For one thing, it’s a lot of fun,” Wong said. “I always use that 65-pound braid with no backing on the reel because, if you hook a 40-pounder, it’ll strip nearly all the line of your reel before you can get it turned around.”

Wong and the people he’s taught how to use the tech-

nique have caught several bighead carp in the 50-pound range, and he says it’s nothing unusual to catch several hun-

dred pounds of ish in a single day when the ishing is right.

Like other anglers who wish the invasive Asian carp had

never found their way into the wild in the Mid-South, Wong believes every one that is re-moved from local waters is a step in the right direction.

“They’re working on some ways to process them into food for shipping overseas and to turn them into pet food,” Wong said. “If that ever becomes a reality, the commercial isher-men will start taking a lot of them. But for now, anglers are really the only thing standing between our local waters and a complete takeover by these ish — and I think we should keep every one we’re lucky enough to catch.”

Other ways to catch Asian carp include bow ishing — using a bow and arrow that’s equipped to a special rod-and-reel that allows the ish to be battled after it’s shot — and simply driving a boat through a school of the ish and allow-ing their natural jumping abil-ity to do the work for you.

Contrary to popular belief, Wong said some people do en-joy eating them.

But most people, including White and Hopper, place little value on them once the ight is over.

“It was a freak,” White said. “We didn’t know exactly what it was. After all that ight, we just threw it back.”

I was in the club lounge with my friend the English professor when a player came in with today’s deal.

“My partner bid five diamonds,” he said, “but I wouldn’t have wanted to be at that contract with a 10-foot pole.”

“How’s that again?” the prof frowned.

“When East bid four spades, partner should have let dead dogs sleep.”

“Huh?” “At five diamonds,” we

heard, “South was between a rock and the deep blue sea and couldn’t succeed by hook or ladder. He took the ace of hearts, sat there like a sore thumb, cashed the A-K of clubs to discard a heart, and led the jack of trumps, hoping East might cover with K-x. But East had the singleton ace, and South had to swallow the bul-let: He went down one.”

The prof threw a wet towel on the discussion. “Getting down to brass roots,” he said, “South should’ve grabbed the bull by the tail and looked him in the eye.”

If South plays well, the shoe will be on the other horse. South discards a heart on the top clubs, ru�s a club, ru�s a spade and ru�s a club. He ru�s a spade and leads the good fifth club. If East ru�s with his ace, South throws his last heart, losing only two trump tricks. So East discards, South discards his last heart, and West ru�s low and leads another heart. South ru�s and leads a trump, bringing down the A-K together.

“It’s as easy as falling o� a piece of cake,” I o�ered.

“Maybe so,” North shrugged, “but if my partner ever found that line of play, you could have knocked me over with a fender.”

Dear Harriette: I’m about to enter my fresh-man year of college, and I’m already thinking about what I’ll do next summer. My parents want me to get an intern-ship to pad my resume for when it’s time for me to get a serious job. Howev-er, I want to return to the sleepaway camp I went to as a kid and be a coun-selor. I figure I have the rest of my life to work, so why not have fun for one summer?

I don’t know how to tell my parents this, and I’m scared they’ll be mad and stressed that I am at a dis-advantage when getting a real job. What do you think I should do?

— Real World Too Soon, Greenwich, Connecticut

Answer: Take a deep breath. The first thing you need to do is focus on school. Your freshman year in college promises to be more challenging and very di�erent from high school.

Give yourself a chance to acclimate to college life and the rigors of your

academic workload. Talk to your adviser at

school about your inter-ests, and learn if there are any summer internship opportunities that may interest you. Keep track of the deadline for your summer camp.

When you get closer to having to make a decision, discuss your thoughts with your adviser and your parents. You and your parents have valid ideas.

I can tell you that any job experience that you can gain that is focused on your future life choices is wise whenever possible.

Dear Annie: I sent my children to a Christian school so they could get a quality education along with faith and good values. Sadly, it hasn’t been the experience I was wishing for. This school has more bullying than a public school.

Bullying is not just say-ing horrible things to each other or hitting. It also is being left out and not feel-ing welcome. Kids at this school who are not sports stars or whose families don’t have money are outsiders. There are also parents who refuse to ac-knowledge the less well-o� parents. Many chil-dren have transferred out of this school because of the bullying. Each child is an individual and should be respected as such. I am sure other parents have these same concerns, but no one speaks up.

I ask that all parents set a good example for their children and pay attention to what they may or may not be doing. Is your child being a bully? Are you teaching them to judge others by what they look like or how much money they have? Is this your school?

— Sad Parent in Nebraska

Dear Nebraska: No school comes with a guar-antee that the behavior of the parents and children will be exemplary. Bully-ing occurs everywhere.

It is important that you teach your child how to deal with intimidating behavior from others and that school administra-tors and teachers are aware of the problem so they can address it. Ulti-mately, parents must do what is best for their chil-dren, and sometimes that means moving them to a di�erent school where they can prosper.

Dear Annie: This is for “Hurting Daughter-in-Law,” whose in-laws never liked her and have cut o� the grandchildren.

I married my husband 54 years ago. His parents were not happy and let me know it. My husband said to ignore it, and I tried, but they worked to destroy our marriage. After his parents died, my husband finally admit-ted that they had kept up an unrelenting stream of criticism about me, hop-ing we’d divorce.

One of my kids is com-pletely alienated from me because of her grandpar-ents’ subtle inferences that I “treated her di�er-ently” from her siblings.

She was my gentle, insecure baby, and they destroyed her trust.

Jumble Daily Bridge Club

Counting the distribution of the concealed hands is easy in principle, as I’ve often pointed out, but it takes focus and practice. To start the week, practice counting at a slam.

Against 6NT, West leads a passive heart. You take the queen and must locate the queen of diamonds to bring home the contract.

You should plan to play the other three suits, watch the fall of the cards, and determine which defender is likely to have length in diamonds, hence the queen.

What is your play at the second trick? BOTH HANDS To help get a count, play a low spade

from both hands. Say West wins and leads another heart. You win and cash three clubs, a third heart and the A-K of spades. East-West follow to the clubs and hearts, and West discards a club on the third spade.

You have a partial count. East started with five spades, three clubs and at least three hearts. He had one or two dia-

monds, West had three or four. Go with the odds. Take the ace of

diamonds and let the jack ride.

Questions and comments: Email Stewart at [email protected]

Aries (March 21-April 19) ★★★★ Communication flourishes with a roommate or family member. You will have a discussion about what you want from your home life. Tonight: Dinner for two.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) ★★★★ Though you often are aware of your similarities with others, right now you’ll see the di�erences. Tonight: Di�erences will become less important soon enough.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)★★★★ If you listen to your sixth sense, you will get ahead both financially and in your daily/work life. You intuitively seem to know which way to go and what to do. Tonight: Relax at home.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) ★★★★★ What you feel might be more im-portant than what you think today. You need to act spontaneously. Tonight: Is someone working against you?

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) ★★★ Work at home or make your o�ce more comfortable. You will thrive in this environment and relax more easily. Tonight: Work as late as need be.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ★★★★★ Others might be elusive right now, but they probably don’t mean to be. Some of the people surrounding you easily could be on a di�erent track. Tonight: Catch up on a friend’s news.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)★★★★ You could be taken aback by the fact that others can’t see what you are experienc-ing. Worry less. You might not want to share exactly what is on your mind. Tonight: Buy a new item on the way home.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)★★★★★ Follow your sixth sense. You might feel a little insecure about listening to this inner voice, but by doing so, you’ll get great results. Tonight: Above all, be spontaneous.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ★★★ Gather information, and explore new ideas. You might have a totally di�erent take from anyone else. Honor a sense that you might not be ready to share just yet. Tonight: Keep it low-key.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)★★★★ A meeting could be the inspiration for what needs to happen next. Sometimes your logic works against you. Tonight: Say “yes” to living.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ★★★★ Be willing to take the lead, even if it makes you uncomfortable. You might feel as if you have too much to do, but you’ll have little choice. Tonight: Out till the wee hours.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) ★★★★ You might not be hearing the whole story. Reach out to someone at a distance to get some feedback. Only then will you know what information you are missing. Tonight: Make vacation plans for the near future.

Horoscope

This year one might be hard-pressed to recognize the evanescent Gemini. You indulge and become more tuned in to your intuitive or psychic abili-ties. You also enjoy learning more about this facet of your personality. Communication flourishes this year. If you are single, you could date a lot, but you will know when you meet the right person. If you are attached, you will test out your seemingly new intuitive ability on your sweetie. You could have a lot of fun with experi-menting with this. SCORPIO might be hard to work with.

TODAY’S CRYPTOQUIP: THE PRESIDING OFFICER OF THAT BUSINESS MEETING IS SO TEDIOUS, I PRESUME HE’S THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BORED.

MISS MANNERS

Greet sugar-coated insults with courtesyBy Judith MartinUniversal Uclick

Dear Miss Manners: I have a friend who rou-tinely brings tasty treats to work for me. Although I appreciate her generosity, these treats are routinely accompanied with an in-sult.

For example, today she gave me a piece of a loaf with icing on top but promptly advised me to scrape of the icing. It’s little nuggets of advice like this that lead me to think she thinks I am overweight. (I most cer-tainly am not!)

However, I can’t reject her food because she often leaves it on my desk. How do I get her to stop insult-ing my healthy (but never gluttonous) appetite?

Gentle Reader: It is un-fortunate that the icing on your friend’s cake is an insult. But since the two are in direct contact,

Miss Manners wonders, why, exactly, can you not politely reject the whole package?

Hand back the treat and say: “You are so right. It’s so kind of you to ofer, but I really can’t.”

Dear Miss Manners: How much courtesy do I owe street solicitors?

I’m not referring to the homeless (for whom I feel compassion), but to salespeople who stop me as I’m going about my day and try to engage me in a conversation about some random product, service or cause they’d like to sell me.

I ind the ambush sales-pitch imposing and rude. What I do now is to say, “No, thanks” without breaking my gait, and even then I feel a little guilty about being gruf.

However, in the scheme of things, I feel my re-sponse is more polite than the situation calls for. I

would like to say, “Please don’t bother me,” but that seems disrespectful to a person who is just doing a job, albeit an annoying one.

I live in a major urban area and encounter tons of these folks. I’m sick of it. What’s your take?

Gentle Reader: Re-sponding to rudeness with more consideration than has been extended is something of a guiding principle for Miss Man-ners.

She also knows that the alternative is inefective: The people whom you wish to lecture are the agents, not the origina-tors, of the approach. Far better to pass on with a “No, thank you,” as you are doing, leaving the would-be salesman with-out successes to report to his boss.

Send your questions to

[email protected].


ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH You might feel that a partner is overly assertive at present. Understand that you are more than capable of handling this person’s energy right now. You need to be more aware of how much you are spending.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH You will have the best intentions, but somehow you’ll get stuck in a diicult or awkward interaction. A discus-sion about money could get out of hand, and you might want to drown your sorrows in some wild spending. Say “no.”

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH You will be out of control, swinging from one wild situation to another. Know when enough is enough. You could be causing yourself a problem if you continue with a heated discus-sion.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Pace yourself, and do what you must. Your emotions might make you feel as if you can’t reach a resolution. If you tap into your logical side, others will think that you make sense;

however, they still might head in a diferent direction.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Your imagination takes a diferent stance on what is be-ing discussed. You could have diiculty following through on a key task because your mind is elsewhere. A sticky situation in-volving your personal life might not be resolved easily.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You will need to anchor in and work through a problem involving a misunderstanding. Be aware that others are likely to overreact. Do not push someone too hard.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Do not put of a call for too long. Make it happen today; otherwise, the results won’t be nearly as good. You’ll have a lot of energy; use it to make a situ-ation work better for you. You could be surprised by what a partner does.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH Be aware of the costs of continuing as you have been. Ask questions. Someone is likely to respond in kind and give you an explanation. You’ll see that you can mend a fence, but you might wonder whether you re-

ally want to.SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-

Dec. 21) HHHH You will feel as if you are in your element and able to achieve much more of what you want. You can’t be stopped once you get going. You naturally dominate anything you decide to do.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH Know what is happening behind the scenes. You might choose to share more than you normally do. Expect the unexpected, and you will not be thrown of-kilter. If you are single, someone you meet today could become a lot more to you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Zero in on priorities during a meeting. You’ll ind that you are juggling two diferent situations. Realize that one or both situations could become explosive. Know what you want from each one.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH You could be more forthright than you have been in a while, especially as you might be dealing with someone’s overly dominant attitude. Touch base with someone you care a lot about, and he or she will appre-ciate your thoughtfulness.

GHS Knowledge Bowl teams participate in national tournament

By Virginia DawsonSpecial to The Weekly

Throughout this past academic year, members of the Tara Oaks Elementary Student Leadership team devoted a great deal of time and energy to leave their mark at the school.

At the beginning of the school year, the ifth graders under the leadership of PTA representative Kerry Johnson and Tara Oaks School counselor Rebecca Matthews were challenged to “Leave a Legacy” in the form of a group project. The Student Leadership team was busy this year, organizing several fundraising projects which beneitted local charities and their school. Along the way, they de-veloped leadership skills and the ability to work as team.

Over the holidays, the Student Leader-ship team organized a giving campaign to beneit three nonproit organizations. The entire school participated in the ef-fort. For each dollar donated, students wrote their names on ornament stickers and placed them on giant whimsical pa-per trees placed throughout the school. Several thousand ornaments adorned the halls to show support for three out-standing charities, as voted on by student government. Of the $2,500 raised, half of the donations were given to the Collier-ville Angel Tree, 25 percent went to the Red Cross Philippines Relief Fund and 25 percent went to the Collierville Animal Shelter.

Inspired to “Leave a Legacy,” student leaders came up with the idea to operate

a “Pie in the Face booth” at the fourth an-nual Spring Fling fundraiser. Principal Tricia Marshall, vice principals Jennifer Scharf and Tyler Salyer and faculty vol-unteered to participate. Students raised $563.00 which will remain at the school allocated for murals. The murals will be educational featuring a hands-on-learn-ing experience for students. Members of the Student Leadership Team were given the opportunity to add a brush stroke to the mural and thereby leaving a lasting imprint at the school.

Tara Oaks Elementary student leaders proved that you are never too young to make a diference.

Virginia Dawson is with the Tara Oaks PTA.
