When Realtor Stacia Rosatti’s clients consider moving to Germantown, she always must explain why the three schools named after the suburb are actually not part of the Germantown Munici-pal School District.

“It’s not overly nega-tive for them, it’s just confusing,” Rosatti said.

For that reason, Ro-satti, a Crye-Leike agent, said she favors removing

“Germantown” from the schools’ names.

The issue surfaced June 18 when the city revealed it had asked Shelby County Schools to change the names of Germantown Elementary, Middle and High schools in exchange for permit-ting county schools to use Germantown’s parks for high school athletics.

The county schools would also have to pay a fee comparable to what the recreational leagues or any other resident would pay to use the ields.

Many of those who are connected to the namesake schools, how-

ever, have said the name-change request angers them.

Parent Kim Davis, who has a rising junior at Ger-mantown High School and a rising seventh-grader at Riverdale said she is “livid.” “The whole reason these kids want to stay is because it’s part of their legacy,” Davis said.

The students are guar-anteed they will get to stay at the school, but if the change goes through, next year’s seniors could graduate from a school of diferent name.

“They want to graduate being a Germantown Red Devil,” Davis said.

New sanitation fees begin July 1

Fees for Collierville san-itation collection will in-crease from $19 to $22 and the commercial rate will increase from $39 to $43 monthly beginning July 1.

The amendment to the fee schedule charged by Town of was unanimously approved by the Board of Mayor and Aldermen at the March 24 meeting. The Town serves some 14,600 homes and 100 businesses. Even with the increase, ef-fective July 1, Collierville fees are still less costly than Bartlett, German-town, Lakeland and Mem-phis and remains the low-est in Shelby County.

Police need public’s help with robbery

Collierville Police is in-vestigating an armed rob-bery that occurred on June 20 at approximately10:45 p.m. in the Kernstown Cove area. The victims told police that as they ar-rived home and drove into their garage they heard a vehicle drive up. Two sub-jects approached them, one carrying a handgun.

One subject wore a ball cap and the other wore a bandanna with red or blue and with white de-signs. Their clothing was dark-colored, with no distinguishing features. The suspects demanded a purse and wallet from both victims. After tak-ing the purse and wallet, both suspects led in an unknown direction.

Collierville Police is asking anyone with infor-mation to contact Collier-ville Police at 901-457-2520 or call Collierville Crime Stoppers at 901-457 CASH.

Germantown resident Jennifer West has two students at Germantown High School, a junior and a senior, and she also opposes changing the names.

“I think it would be more confusing to re-name the school that’s been there for 50 years,” West said.

Shelby County Schools Supt. Dorsey Hopson said last week he thought Ger-mantown’s demand was “out of left ield.”

He’s also concerned about the length of the proposed lease agree-ment for using the ath-letic ields.

The lease on some ields covers ive years, but only two years for others.

Under the proposed agreement, SCS would have use of Red Devil Baseball Field and four of the six tennis courts at C.O. Franklin Park for ive years, and open space at that park and the Soccerplex for only two years.

Germantown City Administrator Patrick Lawton said there are five-year contracts for the tennis courts and baseball field because those facilities are not in as much demand.

The Soccerplex is also rented by a recreational group called Legends, and Lawton said the agreement will encroach on Legends’ time.

The Collierville Board of Education approved agreements Monday night for hiring substi-tute teachers through an agency, contracting for bus services and leasing computers.

Kelly Educational Staffing

Services will receive up to about $338,000 from the board to hire substitute teachers. Based on last year’s numbers, about 16 teachers will be out on any given school day among Collierville’s eight schools.

The board also approved a $2.5 million, four-year busing contract with Durham School Services, and a $702,000, three-year leasing agreement with Apple for 600 Mac Pro comput-ers. The annual cost is about $234,000.

Dr. Russell Dyer, the district’s chief of staf under Supt. John Aitken, told the board that the Kelly agency will recruit, select and hire substitute teachers, but they will also work with princi-pals who have a preferred list of substitutes. The cost is $120 per day for each substitute.

In addition to Collierville, Kelly will provide substitute teachers for Germantown and Arlington. Bartlett, Lakeland and Millington opted out of the agreement and won’t use the

agency this year.School board member Wanda

Chism said the average teacher is usually out for three to four days during the school year.

All six suburban school dis-tricts are participating in the bus contract. During the four-year agreement, school oicials say a total of 126 buses will be replaced with air-conditioned buses.

Aitken said Collierville will need about 34 regular school buses and seven special educa-tion buses. Collierville and Ger-

mantown will share roughly 10 regular school buses and ive special education buses, he said.

All three contracts passed on unanimous 4-0 votes.

Aitken announced that the district will be holding a re-quired registration day on July 29, even for students who pre-registered in the spring. Col-lierville is expecting about 7,900 students. The district also will host an open house July 27 from 4 to 6 p.m. at its newly renovated oices at 146 College.

wish we had a bigger space for him,” she said.

To the perfect musical selection of “The Flight of the Bumblebee,” Schaefer manipulated a three-foot fuzzy and hairy spider marionette dancing with a bee before the spider “jumped” into the audi-ence of mostly preschool boys and girls sitting on the front row. The chil-dren screamed — some in a delight and a few out of fear — over the eight-legged critter. During a lull in the action, 4-year-old Henry Harris, who said he was scared of the spider, left his front row seat to ind reassurance from his mom, Meg Harris, stand-ing nearby.

After the show, Schae-fer let the children touch and look at his handmade and painted marionettes with just a slight warning: “Please be gentle because they have to work next week.”

“I think it’s fantastic without it being so elec-tronic and techno,” said Collierville mom Mela-nie Saunders. “This is just pure, simple fun.”

A future Farmington Elementary third-grader, Heidi Wills, 8, lovingly touched the silky purple garments of the princess. “I can’t believe how the hair looks so real and how they painted the faces,” she said. “The clothes are so pretty.”

When he works with his stringed companions, he said, “It’s like playing a musical instrument. I love my job. I get paid to play with puppets.” It’s a job he’s had for over 20 years.

The magic of the mari-onettes lingered even after the show ended.

As the crowd thinned out to just a trickle of moms, dads and children, one little girl confided, “I’m afraid if I touch them, they’ll come alive.”

When 43-year-old Blake Ritter arrived at Baptist Rehabilitation-Germantown last month follow-ing a spinal cord injury, he couldn’t feel his legs, much less walk.

“Three days later, I started get-ting feeling in my left leg,” the Ox-ford, Miss., resident said.

Three weeks later, Ritter is al-ready standing and hopes to go home by July.

“It was amazing what they’ve done in the length of time (I’ve been) here,” he said.

Ritter’s kind of success is what Baptist is looking to continue at its new facility, Baptist Memorial Re-habilitation Hospital, opening in October behind the Chick-il-A at Germantown Road and Wolf River Boulevard.

The $33 million, 49-bed in-patient rehabilitation hospital broke ground last October and will ofer specialized units for traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries and stroke care.

Baptist Memorial Hospital

CEO Zach Chandler said the acute rehab regimen includes three hours of rehab per day.

“By coming through this unit, the goal is that these folks are able to go home and be back to functioning, normal life back at home,” Chandler said.

The new 59,400-square-foot hospital will provide speciic ac-tivity-based rehabilitation.

“It’s taking folks beyond just the traditional hospital gym,” Chandler said. “It’s really look-ing at that complete and full re-covery.”

Baptist’s partner in the project is Centerre Healthcare, a Nash-ville-based company focusing on inpatient rehab.

Centerre President and CEO Patrick Foster said the goals of

the two organizations “mesh very well.”

“Baptist is so centered on what’s best for the patient and returning to the community,” Foster said. “That its well with us, too.”

Foster said all the rooms in the hospital will be private and each unit will have staf certiied in targeted rehabilitation like swal-lowing or speech.

Chandler said he knows irst-hand what can happen if a patient doesn’t receive proper rehabilita-tion. His grandfather sufered a stroke in the 1980s and never re-learned how to swallow properly.

“Unfortunately people that don’t seek out these services or don’t get these services some-times don’t really recover,” he said.

In the News

By Robin Gallaher BranchSpecial to The Commercial Appeal

Syd Lerner, executive di-rector of Greater Memphis Greenline, and Bill Jurgens, director of Oasis Bike Shop, recently conducted an in-troductory bike safety and maintenance session for a bevy of 8- and 9-year-old boys, all dormitory residents at Binghampton Christian Academy.

Lerner drilled them in the ABCs of bike main-tenance: “Check the air, brakes and chain before each ride,” he said.

Singling out a child in an orange shirt, Lerner said, “Orange is a good color to wear when riding a bike. The people in cars aren’t thinking of you. So you have to think about them” by being as visible as pos-sible.

The children brain-stormed about why they have to wear a helmet. “It prevents brain damage,” one said. “Right,” Lerner replied. “And it’s the law for children 16 and under.”

The children tried on helmets and learned how to adjust them. Jurgens and Lerner taught them the two-inger technique for wiggle room at the eye-

brow and ear. Displaying a bike from

Oasis Bike Shop that needs repair, Jurgens patted the seat and said that a bike should be kept in a shel-tered area like a shed.

A child raised his hand and asked, “What if pieces of your tire are coming of?” Jurgens smiled and answered, “That means your tire has dry rot and you need a new tire.”

“When is it NOT your fault if you have a lat?” Ju-rgens asked the boys.

“When you run over some glass!” the children exclaimed.

“Right!” Jurgens replied. Then he told the children how necessary it is to check the air in the tires and displayed the “pinch test.” He squeezed the back tire in the display bike and found that his ingers met in the middle. “Flat tire!” the children squealed.

He warned the boys that low air can lead to major repair and maybe injury.

Oasis Bike and Green-line are partnering in do-nating 29 bikes and helmets to the dormitory residents of Binghampton Academy. Additional sessions on bike safety and maintenance will follow this summer.

Young riders get lessons in bike safety, maintenance

By Robin Gallaher BranchSpecial to The Commercial Appeal

Yes, Oasis Bike Shop gives away bikes — but rarely.

“No child is ever denied a bike,” said Bill Jurgens, who inds and repairs bikes for Oasis Bike Shop. “How-ever, the most likely way a child — or an adult — gets a bike is by working for it.”

“Earning a bike provides value for it. It gives them a sense of ownership,” said Jurgens.

The program started with Jurgens volunteer-ing in a reading program at Oasis of Hope, a min-istry of Hope Church. “I was reading with children after school and became involved in the lives of a family of four and others. Another volunteer donated two bikes to some children, but the bikes were quickly stolen,” he said.

A short time later Jur-gens picked up some bikes at a yard sale, ixed them, and gave them to children in the family he read with. “I’ve always been good with my hands,” he con-tinued, “and I igured out how to repair them.”

However, after those bikes were repaired around Christmas 2010, three of the four were broken. “I went home discouraged.”

Nowadays, bicycle re-cipients do 10 hours of vol-unteer, service-oriented la-bor. “For example, an adult can supervise children in a neighborhood trash pickup

campaign,” Jurgens said. The bike program,

which started in started in 2011, operates out of Oasis Appliances on Thomas Street in North Memphis. Also a ministry of Hope Church, the store ofers refurbished appliances at discount prices.

Jurgens feels he was led to do this ministry by the Lord, and points to the “coincidence” of reading an entry in The Upper Room, a daily devotional magazine. The entry said that children prayed and thanked God for lots of things and ended with thanking God for bikes.

Shaking his head, he laughed at the memory. “It was as if God was telling me something.”

The program developed one bike at a time until a warehouse was required. Now hundreds of bikes, in various states of repair, hang on hooks by their wheels in the storage area.

Other people heard about it and contributed. An anonymous donor from First Evangelical Church contributed $10,000 for a trailer. This has meant that up to 40 bikes can be trans-ported, so children can en-

joy bike outings to places like Shelby Farms Park.

With the process of matching a child or an adult with a bike come les-sons in maintenance, bike repair and safety. Children age 16 and younger receive a helmet, because the law requires children to wear helmets. All recipients get a cable to lock up the bike.

Around 400 bikes are in stock. International Paper recently gave 10 new Sch-winn bikes valued at about $220 each. But most bikes are donated or are “inds” rescued before a trash pickup.

“It takes somebody who knows how to repair a bike 10 to 12 hours to make it safe and roadworthy,” Jurgens said. He credits the work of volunteers like Bobby Blackmon and Ted Partin for manning the shop. Oa-sis Bike Shop also provides part-time employment for two Manassas High School students. “They learn busi-ness skills,” Jurgens said.

A former Marine who works as an arborist, Ju-rgens often drops by the bike shop between ap-pointments to look at trees around town. “Memphis is a tree city,” he adds.

He attends Hope, and has been inluenced by Eli Morris, senior associate pastor, and Morris’ urban ministry. Morris said he has watched the bike min-istry grow and admires it for its stability.

The ministry is in the process of rebuilding 29 bikes for Binghampton Christian Academy for the children who live in the school’s dormitories.

Jurgens and Syd Lern-er, executive director of Greater Memphis Green-line, sometimes partner in their civic outreaches.

In this case, Oasis Bike Shop supplies the bikes and Greenline the hel-mets, Lerner said. “Bill’s trying to get bicycles in the hands of young people, and they’re our future con-stituency,” Lerner said.

Lerner calls Jurgens “an interesting combina-tion of a Christian spirit and a true business guy.” From their work together, Lerner notes Jurgens’ con-sistency of character: “The way Bill serves God is by serving others.”

Memphis isn’t on the same trajectory as cities in the midst of apartment-construction booms like Houston, Dallas and Mi-ami, but area lenders say borrowing for multifamily development continues to be a bright spot.

Nationally, apartments make up about 40 percent of all new homes being built by developers today — the highest share in 40 years, according to data from the U.S. Census Bureau and the U.S. Department of Hous-ing and Urban Develop-ment. Sales of new homes, excluding apartments, are down more than 70 percent from their 2005 peak; exist-ing single-family sales are down about 40 percent.

Area lenders are seeing similar trends, albeit not as dramatic. Annual census data showed apartments made up about 28 percent of new residential con-struction permits in Mem-phis in 2013, compared to 20.7 percent in 2008.

Locally, demand for apartment development continues to be concen-trated in Downtown and in eastern Shelby County, both of which have the area’s highest occupancy rates, said Frank Stall-worth, executive vice president of the commer-cial and multifamily real estate lending division at Magna Bank.

“When you look at Mem-phis, we aren’t a hotbed compared to some mar-kets, but we do have strong rent and occupancy rates,” Stallworth said. “We have a nice healthy pipeline of construction in areas that have the demand.”

Construction on Grant & Co.’s 134-unit Harbor Island development at the southeast corner of Island Drive and A.W. Willis Av-

enue is underway. Hen-ry Turley Co.’s 197-unit South Junction complex in Downtown’s South End is partially complete. And recently, there has been speculation that the banks that foreclosed on The Ho-rizon, a 16-story tower on Downtown’s South Blufs, are hoping to sell to devel-opers for apartments.

In the eastern suburbs, construction on Milton Grant’s Westbrook Cross-ing apartments in Collier-ville is complete.

Stallworth said the Memphis area has added about 2,100 units in the last 12 months, with 90 per-cent of those units located in Downtown and in East Memphis.

Downtown renters are drawn by the vibrant res-taurant scene and many other attractions, he said.

“We needed this new construction,” Stallworth said. “Downtown contin-ues to be our best market.”

Witt Wittenberg, vice president of commercial real estate lending at First Tennessee Bank, said he thinks developers in Mem-phis have the right mix.

The local apartment market “isn’t overbuilt,” and property owners continue to be able to get “strong rental rates,” he said.

“We are deinitely seeing a trend that more and more professional young adults like to be able to take ad-vantage of the amenities that apartments can ofer,” he said, referring to perks like swimming pools and workout facilities.

Wittenberg said devel-opers and investors are capitalizing on the strong apartment demand and economies of scale.

“You can put a 150-unit apartment complex on three or four acres, but you aren’t going to be able to get 150 homes on the same property,” he said.

MEMPHIS

Developers note as renting trend continues to climb

By Stacey Wiedower Special to The Commercial Appeal

Indiana natives Derek and Abbey Bleemel covered a lot of ground in Shelby County in a short time.

When Derek landed a job as an air traic controller at Memphis International Airport, he moved irst to Cordova, then to Mud Is-land. Abbey joined him there after the couple’s wedding in June 2013, then they moved on to Lakeland.

But Abbey’s job as a nanny was in East Memphis, and when the time came to buy a house, that was her No. 1 pick for a place to settle down. Derek liked the looks of Col-lierville, where some good friends of the couple’s had recently bought a house.

“I just wanted an old house,” said Abbey, who’s expecting their irst child in November. “I like that charm and the feeling of an old, cute little house.”

Around October, the Bleemels began scouting out the real estate market. A co-worker of Derek’s referred them to real estate agent Allyson Avera of Crye-Leike’s Ger-mantown-Poplar oice. Not inding exactly what they wanted in East Memphis, they searched farther east, in Germantown, Collierville

and also in North Mississippi.“We thought Germantown would

be our in-between, like our compro-mise location,” Abbey said.

In fact, the couple found two homes in Germantown they liked enough to make ofers, but neither ofer won them a house.

With Avera’s help, though, the Bl-eemels kept searching. In all they saw about 25 houses, and inally they found the one — a house that ofered the best of two worlds.

“I got my East Memphis house and Derek got his Collierville loca-tion,” Abbey said.

“This house was only on the mar-ket for two days,” added Derek. “We came out here, saw it and put an of-fer on it as soon as we walked out of the door.”

The three-bedroom, two-bath, painted brick house is in Collierville Heights, a neighborhood not far from North Main Street. Abbey and Derek bought the 1,560-square-foot home in December for $182,000.

Built in 1968, the house had hard-wood loors and loads of charm — all the qualities of an “old, cute little house” Abbey was seeking. It also had added perks, like a huge, fenced backyard that was perfect for their dog, Onyx, and their two cats. And the location was ideal — right in the heart of town and close to schools.

“It’s kind of secret back here,” Abbey said. “We liked all the trees.”

“We really wanted a place that

had mature trees around it,” added Derek. “And no carpet, with the dog.”

Inside, the house had an updated kitchen and bathrooms, another perk the Bleemels hadn’t expected in an older home — though they weren’t afraid of a ixer-upper.

The Bleemels have made a few changes since moving in, includ-ing painting some rooms, replac-ing windows and light ixtures and redoing the backyard landscape.

Even though the kitchen, bath and décor is up to date, the house maintains its older-home character, a feature Abbey loves. Abbey and Derek have heard stories about the house from a neighbor who’s lived nearby since the home was built.

“He said another air traic con-troller lived here for a while,” Derek said. “And some people who ran a granite company out of the separate garage.”

At the front of the house is a com-bined living and dining room the Bl-eemels have decorated with family pieces, comfortable seating and a collage of framed photos.

The home’s kitchen features stained cabinetry, granite counter-tops and an angled peninsula that separates the space from an adjoin-ing family room.

Though they weren’t initially expecting to move so far east, the Bleemels love their new neighbor-hood and their neighbors.

WHO’S THE BEST SOUTHERN COOK?Who’s the best Southern cook you

know? This summer we’re going to run a series on Southern cooking, and I want to talk to these ine cooks so that I can pass their tips, recipes and cooking wisdom along to you. And I’ll be honest — I want someone to teach me how to fry chicken. I wouldn’t mind knowing how to make perfect biscuits. Or having my black-eyed peas turn out just like my grandmother’s every time I make a pot.

We’ll spend the summer addressing these heady topics, and who knows? May-be we’ll come up with a deinitive method for a thing or two; the worst that will hap-pen is that we get great cooks telling us how they do it.

I’ve learned a good bit that I’d like to share, and I want to ind the real experts. Are you a great Southern cook? How about your mom or best friend? Drop me an e-mail at [email protected], tell me your specialty and send me a con-tact number. I might contact you for one of our summer stories.

In May we went on a three-week road trip, up the East Coast, visiting all our children. In between, we made stops in Philadel-phia and New York City. I don’t think I have to tell you that we ate very well along the way, with most meals including a glass or two of wine.

It was not a happy day when we got home and I stepped on the scale. So I was delighted to realize that the farmers markets were open. The one clos-est to me is the Agricenter, and the Paradise Seafood truck is there every week, Wednesday through Sat-urday.

In the barn, I picked up a couple of bunches of lovely Treviso-type kale. Then I went to the Paradise truck looking for scallops, but Ted the Fish Man had beautiful halibut ilets. I couldn’t resist. But then I had to come up with a creative preparation, easy and tasty of course, but almost equally im-portant, healthy. Looking through old recipe iles, I found this one, an Italian-inspired sauce, perfect for

the lavor and texture of halibut.

I used blood orange- lavored olive oil. This is available in several loca-tions around town. I got mine at Bazaar in Car-riage Crossing, but Mighty Olive in Laurelwood will also have it in stock. If you choose to make it with plain olive oil, double the amount of orange zest, and you’ll still be very happy with the results.

I have mint lourishing in a pot near my herb gar-den. If you don’t, you can use two packages (around one ounce each) from the supermarket, or go to the Winchester or Cordova farmers market and get a package with enough for this recipe for around $2.

This sauce can be made a bit ahead, but no more than an hour or so.

Because of the acid, the mint will turn dark and have a less-than-pleasant texture.

The ilets were so lovely that I made 8-ounce serv-ings. After making the side dishes, it was obvious to me that was going to be too big a serving. I suggest a 5- to 6-ounce serving per person.

Later I took the remain-ing ish, laked it, and add-ed the remaining sauce, the crumbs left over from the crust preparation and a beaten egg. I fried up a tiny taste and it was re-ally delicious. I made cro-quettes on a baking sheet and froze them. Sometime soon I will partially thaw them, brown them quickly in a bit of olive oil and put them on top of a salad for dinner on a summer night.

For the crumbs, I used French bread slices that I toasted lightly. That way you’ll get a better golden color for the crumb crust in the short time it takes the ish to bake. I had a container of pistachios on hand. I loved the lavor they added to the crust, but you can substitute

almonds, or leave out the nuts entirely and you’ll still love it.

For our side dishes, I made a rice pilaf and sau-téed the kale in a little

garlic and olive oil. They made for a lovely meal … and oh! So healthy!

Bacon-wrapped shrimp is an option for Pasta with Smoked Habanero Tomato, but plain shrimp and chicken are also tasty additions.

LINGUINE WITH TOMATO, BASIL AND HABANERO SAUCE AND BACON-WRAPPED SHRIMPServes 2

INGREDIENTS

1 tablespoon olive oil 1 small shallot, minced 2 medium tomatoes, seeded and chopped 3 cloves garlic, minced 1 dried smoked habanero, finely chopped ¼ cup dry white wine 2 cups whipping cream ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce 6 large fresh basil leaves, thinly sliced — salt and black pepper, to taste 8 large wild-caught shrimp (16-20 count),

peeled and deveined, tail intact 4 slices thin bacon, halved crosswise 4 ounces linguine or fettuccine, cooked, kept

warm — Freshly grated Parmesan cheese

DIRECTIONS

1 Heat the olive oil in a shallow saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallot and cook 2-3 minutes or until softened. Add the tomatoes, garlic and chili and cook 3-4 minutes or until the tomatoes begin to soften.

2 Add the wine, increase the heat and cook until the wine reduces by half, 8-10 minutes.

3 Stir in the cream, bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and simmer 20-25 minutes or until sauce has thickened. Add the Worcestershire sauce, salt and black pepper to taste. Stir in most of the fresh basil, reserving a few slices for gar-nish. Keep warm.

4 Wrap each shrimp with ½ slice bacon, being careful not to overlap the bacon too much. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and cook until the shrimp turns pink, curls about 2/3 of the way and the bacon browns.

5 Toss cooked pasta with sauce. Serve in shallow bowls or on plates. Place shrimp over pasta, garnish with remaining sliced basil. Top with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.

When our tomatoes begin to ripen and our fresh basil takes of, my husband makes this super-spicy pasta dish that we both love. He

has made it every summer for about as long as we’ve been married — almost 19 years.

Pasta dish kicks up the heat with habanero peppers

The recipe calls for haba-nero peppers, some of the hottest peppers grown. They range between 100,000 and 350,000 Scoville heat units (SHU), so one goes a long way. Dried smoked haba-neros are available at area grocery stores and Hispanic markets, though we smoke and dry our own homegrown habaneros.

If a habanero is too hot for you, use a smoked and dried jalapeño, otherwise known as a chipotle pepper. Those range in heat from 5,000 to 10,000 SHU. An even milder substitution at 1,000 to 2,000 SHU is an ancho pepper, which is a dried fresh pob-lano. An ancho pepper can be somewhat leathery, so a 20-minute soak in hot water will make it easier to chop.

When handling hot pep-pers of any variety, it’s wise to wear disposable gloves, refrain from touching sensi-tive areas such as your eyes and keep your work area

ventilated.Although all that heat

from hot peppers can be hard to handle, they all contain capsaicin, which is purport-ed to have numerous health beneits — from boosting metabolism to pain control in topical creams.

To add protein to the dish, you could add plain cooked shrimp. To ratchet up the smoky lavor, bacon-wrapped shrimp are a very tasty addition. Cooking shrimp wrapped in bacon works well using thin bacon and at least 16-20 count (per pound) shrimp. The sauce is also delicious with chicken.

Linguine and fettuccine work well with cream sauc-es. However, in a pinch we’ve used penne and farfalle.

Q We are very con-cerned about our

8-year-old grandson’s lying. He always pleads innocence and wonders plaintively why no one ever believes him. When someone confronts him with some misdeed they saw him do (example: poking holes in the back door screen), he merely shrugs his shoulders and grins. His parents have punished him repeatedly by taking away screen privileges, but to no avail. They’ve also told him the story of the boy who cried wolf to explain why no one believes him. This has been going on since he was a small child. We are all concerned about what is looming down the road.

A Lying is one of the most diicult of prob-

lems to solve. It quickly become habit and turns into a major parent-child power struggle, both of which are obviously the case here. We psycholo-gists are trained to think that habitual lying is an expression of deep-seated dysfunction in the family, but I have not found that to be always, or even usually, the case. Sometimes the answer to “why?” is obvi-ous; sometimes, it seems as if the problem developed quite “by accident.”

What’s looming down the road is anyone’s best guess. Sometimes, a child who is a habitual liar “out-grows” (for lack of a bet-ter term) the problem dur-ing his teen or early adult years. Sometimes, the problem persists well into adulthood and becomes a signiicant handicap to any chance the individual may have at life success.

The further problem is that — as you have discov-ered — the habitual liar often seems impervious to punishment. The sec-ondary reward of playing cat-and-mouse overrides the impact of any negative consequence. Let’s face it, during the game of cat-and-mouse, the child is in com-plete control of the family. That’s a powerful tonic.

I’ll wager that in re-sponse to his lying, this boy’s parents have taken privileges away for a day, maybe a week. If so, that’s not going to cut it. Serious problems require serious consequences.

First, everyone needs to stop talking to him about the problem, including repeating the story of the boy who cried wolf. You’ve all said enough. It’s time to act. Second, you cannot af-ford to ever give him the beneit of doubt. If you THINK he’s lying, then he’s lying. End of conver-sation, end of story.

Third, take all of his prized possessions, activi-ties, and privileges away. Put up a 30-block chart on the refrigerator. He gets his possessions, activi-ties, and privileges back when he has gone for 30 consecutive days without lying (or, more accurately, doing anything that causes anyone to even THINK he’s lying). Every day that he manages to keep his bad habit in check, he gets a smiley face in one of the blocks on the chart. If he lies, the chart comes down and a new 30-day chart goes up. You do that even if he goes 28 days without lying and then lies on day 29. It’s absolutely essential that you cut him no slack during his rehabilitation.

Be aware that it may take him six months to suc-ceed with a 30-day chart. If you hang in there, this can pay of handsomely for everyone.

LIVING WITH CHILDREN

Lying requires vigilant discipline

By Erinn FiggSpecial to The Commercial Appeal

West Memphis blogger Jill Denton shared a triumphant announcement with her read-ers on Dec. 14, 2012:

“I am three months pregnant with a healthy baby!” the 32-year-old typed in large red letters.

Followers of Denton’s blog, Inside Out (insideoutjill.wordpress.com), understood the signiicance of that post. It marked the end of a grueling nine-year ordeal with in-fertility treatments and complications from polycystic ovarian syndrome.

Subsequent blog entries were equally ef-fusive. There were excited updates on preg-nancy checkups, the big-reveal ultrasound photo (“WE’RE HAVING A GIRL!”), cheery pictures of the newly decorated nursery, and — in the June 15, 2013, post “Ta-Da!” — the requisite “belly photo” of a beaming Denton displaying her 38-week baby bump under a bright lavender T-shirt. “I thought I’d never do this, but my sweet husband convinced me otherwise,” Denton wrote.

It would be the last blog entry Denton would write for a long time.

Her readers waited for the joyful birth an-nouncement, photos of the new mother and baby and recounts of adventures in moth-erhood, written in Denton’s characteristic bubbly style. But there was nothing — just months of silence.

Today, Denton describes that four months as a nightmare.

“It was very scary. My brain was such a mess. To inally receive that miracle of life and then to feel so completely opposite of what I had always imagined was so for-eign to me,” she said. “My anxiety was all over the place. I was paranoid all the time. I would have terrible dreams of the baby be-ing harmed, but not by me. I started having suicidal thoughts because I thought, ‘I can’t live like this.’ I just wanted to escape and I just wanted a way out.”

Denton inally opened up to her readers in an Oct. 19, 2013, post titled “The Absence of Light,” a raw and painfully honest 4,000-word account of weeks illed with confu-sion, panic, depression, vivid and terrifying thoughts, psychiatric treatment, trials and errors with medications and, ultimately, voluntary hospitalization for postpartum depression and anxiety.

“After WANTING a baby for nine years, I NEVER expected to experience the low-est low of my life after coming home with a beautiful, sweet baby girl in my arms,” she wrote.

OUT OF THE DARKNESSNow recovered, Denton is among at least

two dozen women who participated in the Climb Out of the Darkness 2014 event at Overton Park’s Old Forest State Natural Area last Saturday. Memphis joined more than other 115 cities around the world in hosting a symbolic climb to raise aware-ness of perinatal mood and anxiety dis-orders such as postpartum depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder and psychosis.

The event was created on a smaller scale last year by the international nonproit Post-partum Progress (postpartumprogress.org) in an efort to raise funds to further the or-ganization’s mission of connecting afected mothers to treatment and resources. This year, the number of worldwide participants has grown from 177 to more than 1,000.

According to the most recent postpartum depression study results released in March 2013 in The Journal of the American Medi-cal Association Psychiatry, 1 in 7 women ex-periences depression during the year after she gives birth, and 1 in 5 of that segment has thoughts of harming herself.

Some experts believe the reality may be even more stark, as it’s diicult to gauge the numbers in low-income areas where mental health care is a luxury compared to obtain-ing necessities such as food and housing.

The need for awareness and resources is great in the Memphis area, say Sarah Stockwell and Beth Hayes, co-organizers of the Memphis event. Although there are no mountains to climb here, the location is still ideal, Stockwell said.

“We really love the symbolism of the Old Forest,” said Stockwell, owner of Birth-Memphis Childbirth Education Services. “There’s a lot of undergrowth and dark, thick tree canopies that don’t let in a lot of light, so symbolically we’ll be walking through this uninished forest and coming out on the other side into the light to sym-bolize healing,” Stockwell said.

Proceeds from the event will go to Post-partum Progress to create oice materials to help obstetricians educate patients on postpartum disorders and available re-

sources. The Memphis team also is rais-ing donations on its Crowdrise fundraising page (tinyurl.com/climb-memphis).

Leah Bray Nichols, owner of Evergreen Yoga Center in Midtown, donated $200 to the cause because it aligns with her profes-sional mission of supporting new mothers. Her studio ofers mommy-baby yoga ses-sions.

“What they’re doing with Climb Out of the Darkness is exactly what we do when we’re working with women who are in that phase of their lives,” she said. “We support them in taking care of their physical and

mental health. You get this little awesome bundle of joy, but that irst year can also be such a shocking change.”

BUILDING A SISTERHOODOther goals of the event are community-

oriented.“I would like for participants to realize

that there’s a sisterhood of women who are also going through the same things and, as such, form a community. It’s through com-munity that we can create a support circle,” Stockwell said.

Hayes, owner of Homecoming Postpar-tum Services, where, as a postpartum doula, she provides in-home care for new mothers, says she hopes the event will prompt local mental health professionals to realize the need for more postpartum mental health support in Memphis.

“My personal interest in working so hard on this climb is because the resources in Memphis are nil — they’re aren’t any,” she said, referring to support groups, wide-spread screenings and educational re-sources. “We want to change that horizon for women so when they start to discover they’re not well, they’ll know where they can go to get help. They’ll know that with treatment, therapy, guidance, support, nu-trition and exercise, they’ll be OK. It’s not a permanent situation.”

Karen Diana, a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner who frequently works with postpartum depression and anxiety clients at Chamberlin Clinic in Cordova, echoes that truth.

“Having postpartum depression does not necessarily mean a lifetime of treatment; absolutely not,” she said.

Diana encourages women who are feeling depression, anxiety, a desire for isolation, disinterest in the baby, guilt or confusing thoughts to talk to their obstetricians im-mediately and, most important, not to balk at the suggestion of a psychiatric referral.

“There is no shame in getting help, and I think that’s a big thing,” she said. “We try to educate people that this is a chemical disorder. You wouldn’t judge yourself if you needed medicine for high blood pressure. Don’t judge yourself if you need treatment for depression.”

Event aims to raise awareness of, resources for postpartum depression

MOOD SWINGS NOT UNUSUAL, BUT EXTREME SHIFTS CALL FOR ATTENTIONWhile it’s common for women to experience mood changes after the birth of a child, 15 to 20 percent of women experience more serious symptoms. following are some indicators of possible postpartum depression or anxiety:

■ feeling sad or depressed for longer than two weeks

■ feeling more irritable or angry than usual ■ Diiculty bonding with the baby or a

general lack of interest in the baby ■ feeling anxious or panicky ■ Problems with eating or sleeping ■ upsetting, intrusive thoughts ■ feeling “out of control” or “going crazy” ■ feeling regret over becoming a mother ■ fear of harming the baby or yourself

Women who are concerned that they may have a postpartum mood disorder should contact their obstetrician or physician immediately.

In a final match that left thousands of spectators on the Internet drained, Nick Nickell’s team kept the Van-derbilt Trophy in the United States. At the ACBL Spring Championships, NICKELL beat Pierre Zimmermann’s powerful “Team Monaco” with a last-ditch rally.

NICKELL (Ralph Katz, Robert Levin-Steve Weinstein, Je� Meckstroth-Eric Rodwell) trailed late in the match. Then came today’s deal. At one table Meckstroth-Rodwell did well to sell out to five spades by North-South. MONACO was plus 710.

In the other room, in the auction shown, North-South, Levin-Weinstein, found the spade fit, but when Levin bid six spades, East, Geir Helgemo, went to seven diamonds.

And Weinstein passed! Many players would have treated that call as showing a diamond control, inviting North to go on. Whatever Levin thought, he bid seven spades after long thought.

Then the spotlight rested on West, Tor Helness. He assumed from the pass to seven diamonds that South had a void. So Helness led a heart. Weinstein ru�ed, drew trumps, said a prayer over the club finesse and racked up plus 2,210. NICKELL won 17 IMPs, took the lead and held on.

Weinstein, also a poker ex-pert, said he had blu�ed with his pass of seven diamonds. He was willing to hear Levin bid seven spades because then he expected a heart opening lead, which dummy could ruff. Weinstein’s decision, one of the great psychological shots in bridge history, helped NICKELL win by two IMPs.

Dear Harriette: I am a woman in my late 20s, and most of my friends are getting married and starting their lives. Meanwhile, I am still single, and it seems that no significant other is in sight! It’s hard seeing my friends getting married and having a lifetime partner when I feel so alone. Furthermore, I’m scared that I’m going to feel even more isolated because the married couples will only social-ize with one another and forget about me. How do I enjoy this period in my friends’ lives while also moving forward at my own pace?

— Moving Behind, New York City

Answer: You are wise to understand that your relationship dynamics may change a bit as your friends marry. This does not mean that you will lose your friends. It does mean that you should expand your social parameters. Figure out interests you have that require you to be in social

settings. Go to places where men go, men who like the same kinds of things that you like. This is important because if you don’t put yourself out there, you will not be in the company of potential suitors.

Give yourself time to discover your interests as an adult. Do your best not to envy your friends. Instead, share in their joy as you also spread your wings and enjoy your life as it is. What’s amazing is that often when people relax into themselves, they attract exactly who and what they need in their lives.

Answer to yesterday's puzzle

Sudoku is a number-placing puzzle based

on a 9x9 grid with sev-eral given numbers. The

object is to place the numbers 1 to 9 in the

empty squares so that each row, each column and each 3x3 box con-tains the same number only once. The difficulty

level of the Conceptis Sudoku increases from

Monday to Sunday.

The average solution time for this King Features crossword is 63 minutes.

In a final match that left thousands of spectators on the Internet drained, Nick Nickell’s team kept the Van-derbilt Trophy in the United States. At the ACBL Spring Championships, NICKELL beat Pierre Zimmermann’s powerful “Team Monaco” with a last-ditch rally.

NICKELL (Ralph Katz, Robert Levin-Steve Weinstein, Je� Meckstroth-Eric Rodwell) trailed late in the match. Then came today’s deal. At one table Meckstroth-Rodwell did well to sell out to five spades by North-South. MONACO was plus 710.

In the other room, in the auction shown, North-South, Levin-Weinstein, found the spade fit, but when Levin bid six spades, East, Geir Helgemo, went to seven diamonds.

And Weinstein passed! Many players would have treated that call as showing a diamond control, inviting North to go on. Whatever Levin thought, he bid seven spades after long thought.

Then the spotlight rested on West, Tor Helness. He assumed from the pass to seven diamonds that South had a void. So Helness led a heart. Weinstein ru�ed, drew trumps, said a prayer over the club finesse and racked up plus 2,210. NICKELL won 17 IMPs, took the lead and held on.

Weinstein, also a poker ex-pert, said he had blu�ed with his pass of seven diamonds. He was willing to hear Levin bid seven spades because then he expected a heart opening lead, which dummy could ruff. Weinstein’s decision, one of the great psychological shots in bridge history, helped NICKELL win by two IMPs.

Dear Harriette: I am a woman in my late 20s, and most of my friends are getting married and starting their lives. Meanwhile, I am still single, and it seems that no significant other is in sight! It’s hard seeing my friends getting married and having a lifetime partner when I feel so alone. Furthermore, I’m scared that I’m going to feel even more isolated because the married couples will only social-ize with one another and forget about me. How do I enjoy this period in my friends’ lives while also moving forward at my own pace?

— Moving Behind, New York City

Answer: You are wise to understand that your relationship dynamics may change a bit as your friends marry. This does not mean that you will lose your friends. It does mean that you should expand your social parameters. Figure out interests you have that require you to be in social

settings. Go to places where men go, men who like the same kinds of things that you like. This is important because if you don’t put yourself out there, you will not be in the company of potential suitors.

Give yourself time to discover your interests as an adult. Do your best not to envy your friends. Instead, share in their joy as you also spread your wings and enjoy your life as it is. What’s amazing is that often when people relax into themselves, they attract exactly who and what they need in their lives.

In a final match that left thousands of spectators on the Internet drained, Nick Nickell’s team kept the Van-derbilt Trophy in the United States. At the ACBL Spring Championships, NICKELL beat Pierre Zimmermann’s powerful “Team Monaco” with a last-ditch rally.

NICKELL (Ralph Katz, Robert Levin-Steve Weinstein, Je� Meckstroth-Eric Rodwell) trailed late in the match. Then came today’s deal. At one table Meckstroth-Rodwell did well to sell out to five spades by North-South. MONACO was plus 710.

In the other room, in the auction shown, North-South, Levin-Weinstein, found the spade fit, but when Levin bid six spades, East, Geir Helgemo, went to seven diamonds.

And Weinstein passed! Many players would have treated that call as showing a diamond control, inviting North to go on. Whatever Levin thought, he bid seven spades after long thought.

Then the spotlight rested on West, Tor Helness. He assumed from the pass to seven diamonds that South had a void. So Helness led a heart. Weinstein ru�ed, drew trumps, said a prayer over the club finesse and racked up plus 2,210. NICKELL won 17 IMPs, took the lead and held on.

Weinstein, also a poker ex-pert, said he had blu�ed with his pass of seven diamonds. He was willing to hear Levin bid seven spades because then he expected a heart opening lead, which dummy could ruff. Weinstein’s decision, one of the great psychological shots in bridge history, helped NICKELL win by two IMPs.

Dear Harriette: I am a woman in my late 20s, and most of my friends are getting married and starting their lives. Meanwhile, I am still single, and it seems that no significant other is in sight! It’s hard seeing my friends getting married and having a lifetime partner when I feel so alone. Furthermore, I’m scared that I’m going to feel even more isolated because the married couples will only social-ize with one another and forget about me. How do I enjoy this period in my friends’ lives while also moving forward at my own pace?

— Moving Behind, New York City

Answer: You are wise to understand that your relationship dynamics may change a bit as your friends marry. This does not mean that you will lose your friends. It does mean that you should expand your social parameters. Figure out interests you have that require you to be in social

settings. Go to places where men go, men who like the same kinds of things that you like. This is important because if you don’t put yourself out there, you will not be in the company of potential suitors.

Give yourself time to discover your interests as an adult. Do your best not to envy your friends. Instead, share in their joy as you also spread your wings and enjoy your life as it is. What’s amazing is that often when people relax into themselves, they attract exactly who and what they need in their lives.

Dear Annie: I have several cousins who are celebrating weddings and baby showers this summer. Several of my aunts will not attend any of these events if they are not held in a Catholic Church. They say it is against their “rules.” One aunt sent a reply saying she would not attend the outdoor wedding because it was not being held in a church. Another aunt re-plied to a wedding shower invitation that she would not attend it at a Lutheran church hall. I find these replies to be quite judg-mental. Should something be said? Should future invitations not be sent?

— Wisconsin

Dear Wisconsin: Catho-lic weddings are supposed to take place in a church, o�ciated by a priest. If your aunt will not attend any wedding that is not sanctioned by the church, please respect that. And while that is not a prob-lem with wedding show-ers, there are those who will not enter the place of worship of a di�erent religion. These religious restrictions don’t leave a great deal of room for compromise. Your choice is to invite those with whom you wish to celebrate, and theirs is whether or not to come. Please say nothing more about it.

Dear Annie: I am writ-ing to let you know one of your columns has saved at least one life.

My friend told me she read a letter from “L.,” who is a cancer survivor. The writer discussed the importance of having a colonoscopy and listed all the symptoms of colon cancer. When she finished reading it, my friend told her son, “I have cancer,” and it turned out, she did.

The doctor found Stage II colon cancer, for which she is now being treated. I think that letter should run every week.

— Anonymous

Dear Anonymous: While we cannot repeat the same letter every week, we think it is a public service to reprint the symptoms of colon cancer. If you notice any of the following, please see your doctor imme-diately and schedule a colonoscopy:

1. Blood in the stool or rectal bleeding when you have a bowel movement.

2. Stomach aches, pains and cramps that continue with no apparent cause.

3. Di�culty eating or swallowing.

4. Losing weight with-out cause.

Jumble Daily Bridge Club

Almost 10,000 tables were in play over the 10 days of the ACBL Spring Champi-onships in Dallas in March.

Expert Peter Rank was today’s South in a secondary event. His bid of one club merely showed a good hand. When Rank raised North’s four clubs to game, North risked slam.

At Trick Two West led a trump. Rank could have won in dummy, preserving the king as an entry to his hand, and started immediately to try to establish a long card in diamonds.

But since the bidding portended bad breaks, Rank drew trumps, noting that West had three. He took the top dia-monds, ru�ed a diamond and cashed more trumps.

LAST TRUMP When dummy led its last trump, East

could save three cards. He had to keep a diamond since declarer still had one, so only two hearts.

By then, Rank had a reliable count: West had held seven spades, three clubs and one diamond ... and two hearts. So

Rank discarded his last diamond, took the K-A of hearts to drop West’s queen and won the 13th trick with the jack.

Dear Miss Manners: I re-cently called a friend of mine cute. She replied, in a very angry tone, “Women are not called cute. I am a grown woman.”

I was shocked. Am I wrong?

Gentle Reader: Apparent-ly, since her irate response must have rendered her decidedly less cute.

Compliments are sub-jective, but should not be subjected to such scrutiny if they are kindly intended. If it happens again, Miss Manners advises you to look abashed and say, “I am so sorry. I meant it as a compliment,” and refrain from any further ones un-til your friend learns how to accept them graciously.

Dear Miss Manners: What is to be done about those with the tendency to make virtues of their faults?

I’m thinking of a woman I met who started of the evening by warning us, “I talk too much. My husband tells me all the time at din-ner to shut up, but I just don’t.” She then proceeded to show us exactly what she meant by talking entirely too much throughout cock-tails, dinner and dessert.

She persisted in asking my husband and me three times when we were going to have children. I racked my brain for the right re-sponse, even saying, “Oh, dear. What would Miss Manners say in this po-sition?” But the woman didn’t get the joke or take the hint.

I have another friend who does this sort of thing — admits she talks too much, but instead of try-ing to contain herself, she goes on blathering.

What annoys me is that it seems these people are trying to put themselves in a position of “You can’t

get mad at me — I just ad-mitted I’m fragile and so-cially awkward.” What can politely be done with this type of person, besides leaving the room?

Gentle Reader: Unfortu-nately, you can’t agree or leave the room without a covering excuse, but you certainly don’t have to answer impertinent ques-tions.

To insult oneself be-fore another gets a chance eliminates the need, in the blatherer’s mind, to control the ofense. Furthermore, it somehow requests sym-pathy when no apology is actually being made.

In the irst case, if you are very, very careful to avoid any hint of sarcasm, Miss Manners will permit you to divert unwanted questions by responding: “I would answer you, but surely you don’t want me to go on and on. I wouldn’t want to be reprimanded by your husband.”

Second grade is pivotal in the development of young readers.

At this point, students should know many of the 1,000 “sight” or Fry words, like “it” and “go,” which are funda-mental in the leap from learn-ing-to-read to reading-t o - l e a r n . In fact, just the irst 300 words on the Fry word list represent about 67 percent of all the words students encounter in their reading. But many second graders still don’t have a grasp of those cru-cial foundational words.

According to research conducted by the Annie E. Casey Foundation, chil-dren who cannot read pro-iciently by the third grade are four times more likely to drop out of high school than their peers who are reading at grade level.

This number rises even higher if they come from poverty.

Shelby County Schools

ofers a volunteer tutor-ing program for its second graders called Team Read.

The program originated and was developed by the partnership of German-town United Method-ist Church (GUMC) and Caldwell- Guthrie El-ementary School. Volun-teer tutors spend an hour each week, from just after Labor Day to the irst of May, coaching two young readers in 30 minute, one-on-one sessions.

The sessions are coor-dinated at the school, dur-ing the school day, around the coach’s schedule. Tu-tors are called “coaches” because, similar to great sports players, readers need coaches to improve their skills.

Test results have shown that 73 percent of students in the program learned 200 more sight words and 23 percent learned 400 more sight words over the course of the year. Like-wise, the level of engage-ment has increased.

More than 26 Team Read programs now work in the District.

For more information, contact Barbara Dawson at 901-416-5732 or [email protected].

THIS MISS IS A HITAddison Maxwell of ECS was recently named Division 2-A Miss Softball by the Tennessee Softball Coaches As-sociation. She played in the Tennessee Softball Coaches Assocation All-Star game at Lipscomb University June 16 and was chosen for the Tennessee All-Star team that will play the Kentucky All-Stars Thursday at Western Kentucky University. Maxwell, who will play for the University of Memphis starting this fall, inished her senior season hit-ting .565 with three home runs. She also scored 39 times for the Lady Eagles as well as accumulating 24 RBI’s in the lead of position.

Even before the University of Memphis’ 2013-14 season ended at the hands of top-seeded Virginia in the third round of the NCAA tournament in March, Austin Nichols was already making plans for the ofseason.

The skilled 6-8 power forward had been named the American Athletic Conference Rookie of the Year and would become the irst Tigers player since Darius Washington Jr. in 2004-05 to start in every game as a freshman. But Nichols wasn’t content.

So he reached out to his former personal trainer, Tony Sarwar, with whom Nichols had worked closely on improving his strength while in high school at Briarcrest Christian, and put together a plan.

“He said, ‘Listen, the moment the season’s over, I know that I’ve gotta get stronger. I know that I’ve gotta be able to dominate the in-side. I know that I’ve gotta push back ofensively to be able to gain my position irst. So the moment the season’s over, I want to get back to work,’ ” Sarwar said.

“We started that Monday after the season and for the last 2½ to three months, we’ve just been kill-ing it.”

The results are visible. While Nichols has also spent time train-ing this ofseason with Rohrk Cutchlow, the U of M’s director of athletic performance, and, for the last three weeks, Evarist Akujobi, the Tigers’ newly hired strength and conditioning coach, he credits most of his physical gains to the time he spent immediately after the season with Sarwar.

Nichols, who averaged 9.3 points and 4.3 rebounds last sea-son, has gone from weighing 210 pounds last year to 228. The 185 pounds he struggled to bench press when he started training after the season has improved to ive to six reps of 225 pounds, Sar-war said.

“The goal is to get stronger; not

to just put on weight. But I think my body is getting better at han-dling the weight,” Nichols said. “I just really wanted to get stronger and I think I’ve done that.

“It feels good. I’m still quick enough from what I can (tell). I can get up (of the loor). I’m not too bulky. It’s not lagging me down. That was really important going into the weight lifting was to keep the quickness, but also put weight on.”

There were times last season when Nichols looked like the best player on the loor for Memphis, such as his 19-point, 8-rebound performance against LSU or his 17-point, 12-rebound, 7-block ef-fort in a win over Temple.

But Nichols, like most fresh-men, also had his struggles, in-cluding a six-game stretch from mid-December to early January in which he averaged just 4.7 points and three rebounds. He had zero-rebound games against Southeast Missouri and UCF, and, though he led Memphis in scoring in its season-ending loss to Virginia (15 points), he was repeatedly chal-lenged on the defensive end by a more physical Cavaliers team.

Sarwar believes Nichols’ im-proved strength will generate more conidence and consistency.

“You can see the diference.

When his conidence is up he’s a totally diferent basketball player. When his conidence is limited, sometimes he slows down the pace a little bit,” Sarwar said. “Once you can get two plates (one the bar) and you’re bench press-ing that, now his (belief) of his personal strength improves his conidence.

“I’m a big believer in showing them the success that they’ve pro-duced. So I measured his arms, his back, his chest, his legs, his waist, and his waist stayed the same. But his back got bigger. His shoulders got bigger. His biceps got bigger, and that’s his motivation.”

Nichols’ teammates said he’s been one of the most vocal play-ers in workouts this summer as he makes the transition from having to learn on the job as a freshman to now being looked to as one of the leaders of a largely inexperi-enced team. Though he expects his production to improve, Nich-ols prefers to discuss team goals.

“As a team, my key is chemis-try — better chemistry than last year’s team,” he said. “Everyone is saying how we’re not as talented as last year; how we’re not going to be as good. But I think if our chemistry is there, I think we can be even better than last year’s team. That’s one of the main goals me, (junior forward) Shaq (Good-win) and (junior wing) Damien (Wilson) really need to focus on because we’re the upperclass-men.”

With just two returning starters and having to replace four senior guards, it makes sense that Mem-phis will look to its frontcourt this season. Goodwin and Nich-ols developed a good chemistry together last year, but they’ll have to be more consistent on both ends of the loor if Memphis expects to make it to the NCAA tournament.

Said coach Josh Pastner of Nich-ols: “He’s getting stronger and big-ger. He’s gotta really spend time on working on his ability to make the 15- to 17-foot shot consistently. That’s a big key.”

And, Pastner emphasized, “He’s gotta lead. He’s gotta take the game really seriously this of-season so he can do what we need him to do this year. I think he’s understanding that he’s gotta put the extra work in beyond just what we practice to really work on his game to take the next step.”

Atlanta native Alexan-der DeRosa took the lead June 19 at the Bubba Con-lee Classic on the par-3 16th, where he sneaked in a 35-foot putt from the fringe just in the corner of the hole, raising his club higher and higher as the putt found its home in the bottom of the cup.

Defending champion Braden Thornberry, now down one stroke, left his birdie putt on 17 a foot short and missed a long birdie putt on 18 that would have forced a playof.

“It’s tough when you go from a three-shot lead, you don’t choke at all, and they just take it from you,” Thornberry said. “I felt like I played good com-ing down the stretch. Just a couple bad breaks, but other than that I’m happy.

While walking to the par-5 15th tee at Quail Ridge in Bartlett with a three-shot lead, Thorn-berry had a cut-and-dried game plan.

“I’m trying to make birdie,” Thornberry said. “Seal it.”

Approaching the tee closely behind was De-Rosa, who led coming into the third and inal round, but had encountered a problem the night before the inal round..

He couldn’t sleep.“It didn’t help,” said his

mother, Tracey, “that we had an air conditioner in our hotel that sounded like a helicopter.”

Fighting the lingering efects of the noisy appli-ance and unsettled nerves, DeRosa struggled to a 36

on his front nine.DeRosa’s three-putt

bogey on No. 12 coupled with Thornberry’s per-fectly read birdie putt on 13 distanced the defending champion and Ole Miss commitment to a three-shot lead as the inal group approached 15.

Thornberry, a DeSoto Central senior, hooked his tee shot left on 15, bounc-ing of the roof of a golf cart and coming to rest in an unplayable lie, wedged between a root and tree. He took a drop and put his approach in a greenside bunker, eventually bogey-ing the hole.

As rules oicials and the small group following the action convened around Thornberry’s ball, DeRosa disappeared. He set of for the nearby woods, primar-ily to use the restroom but also to clear his mind.

“Just trying to stay loose and not think about it,” DeRosa said with a wide smile.

He grabbed his pitching wedge and stuck a beauti-fully placed shot within eight feet of the hole, sink-ing his eagle opportunity to pull even with Thorn-berry.

On the girls’ side, Col-lierville native Jayna Choi defeated Sabrina Long with a birdie on the irst playof hole to capture the title.

As her family celebrated wildly behind her, Choi, a rising eighth- grader, was still surprised that the putt from the fringe on the 18th green went down.

“It was just surprising to me that I made it,” Choi said. “It was breaking a lot and I was kind of scared I’d hit it too much and get it over the hill.”

Late charge seals Conlee for DeRosa; Choi wins girls title

By Pete WickhamSpecial to The Weekly

Will Jamison and his Ole Miss teammates heard the pep talk from Mike Bianco the irst time after a doubleheader loss to then No. 1-ranked South Caro-lina in March. Every time they hit a bump in the road after that, same speech.

That road, and that speech, took the Rebels somewhere they hadn’t been in 42 years: Omaha and the College World Series. And they did something no other Rebel team ever accomplished, making it to the semiinals be-fore losing their second decision to Virginia, 4-1.

“We’d beaten South Carolina on Friday, then lost two Satur-day and were kind of broken up about it,” said Jamison, a junior outielder from ECS. “But coach Bianco said, ‘We beat the No. 1 team in the country, we can beat anybody.”

Two weeks later, the Rebs were swept at Alabama. Same speech, and they rallied to go 15-6 down the stretch and claim the SEC West title by winning two of three at Texas A&M. They lost the opener of the

NCAA Super Regional at Louisi-ana Lafayette, and rallied to take two games and break a string of four straight losses in that round.

“He kept telling us to turn pressure into pleasure,” Jamison said, “We got on board and bounced back all year. You saw it in the World Series.”

The Rebs (48-21) lost a 2-1 opening decision to Virginia, then eliminated Texas Tech 2-1 and TCU 6-4 before being eliminated by the Cavaliers last Saturday.

“I think what made it spe-cial is that on this team there was no really big-time star, but pretty good team chemistry,” said Jamison. “That’s why this season was so special.”

Jamison bought in even though he found himself losing playing time to highly-regarded freshman prospect J.D. Wood-man, who came in swinging.

Woodman hit .298 in 58 games (51 starts), and hit .325 in SEC play. Jamison, who started 38 games and played 51 as a right ielder, hit .248 with two homers and 13 RBI, and .222 in SEC play.

“Coach Bianco would play me during the weekend, but he’d start other guys in the weekday

games. And if you had a bad weekending hitting you never could really work through it like you can when you’re playing during the week,” said Jamison, who hit .281 as a sophomore. “J.D. swung the bat pretty well ... He was doing his job and you can’t keep his bat out of the lineup.”

They also shared the experi-ence of a lifetime, which trumps anything negative.

“You got to the state tourna-

ment in high school and you get to play in a college stadium and it’s a pretty good experience,” said Jamison, who led ECS to a Division 2-A title in 2011. “But T.D. Ameritrade Park … It’s beautiful. There’s 20,000-25,000 fans there every game between locals and the folks who follow the teams. And to see our fans, who were chomping at the bit to get to Omaha after 42 years … It’s just special to be part of that, and

now to be able to say this wasthe greatest team to ever play inOmaha, though it’s not so muchabout that for me as the friendsI’ve made along the way.

“I’ll be telling that story aslong as I’m living.”

Jamison, a 40th-round pickby Cleveland out of high school,said he was approached by theWashington Nationals aboutsigning as an undrafted freeagent, but he will return for hissenior season, looking to ill cen-ter ield gap left when San Diegomade junior Auston Bousield aifth-round pick.

That’s where they want me toconcentrate on next year,” saidJamison. “When you go this farin the postseason you can’t re-ally hook up for summer ball.That season ends in three weeks.So I’ll get in some games in theleague in Millington, go back toOle Miss, hit the weight roomand get back after it.”

Bianco had a pep talk for hisveteran. “Will’s been a terriicplayer the last three seasons,”he said. “Much of the success weexperienced this season was withthe veterans who have playedhere a lot and led us. We’ll beleaning on him to lead next year.”

Corinth, a city in Alcorn County with a population of 14,573, had al-ready been dubbed “Catish USA” with anglers like Muse, David Ship-man, Tim Haynie and Phil King call-ing it home. Then on June 14 20-year-old business owner Brooke Wilkins added her name to the list, joining forces with Shipman to win the Big Cat Quest event on the Mississippi River from Tunica River Park.

It’s a catish culture that Muse said starts early for Corinth residents.

“I think it’s our proximity to the Tennessee River, and we all grew up ishing below Pickwick Dam,” Muse said. “Just about every one of the guys from Corinth who ish these tournaments, I can remember seeing them in the boat with their daddies and granddaddies when we were all kids. It starts early here.”

Muse said most of the Corinth anglers started young learning a technique called “bumping bottom” below Pickwick Dam. Now they’re applying modern technology to that tactic, and the results have been amazing.

Muse recalled a past catish tour-nament in Clarksville, Tennessee, with a ield of 80 boats. Eight of the top 10 spots went to teams from Corinth — and there were only eight Corinth boats in the tournament.

“Think about that,” Muse said. “Eight boats from Corinth in the whole ield, and they all made the

top 10. That’s real solid.”The June 14 event out of Tunica

also had a distinct Corinth lavor near the top of the standings, as Shipman and Wilkins took irst with 128.70 and Muse teamed with fellow Corinth an-glers Dino Meador and Frank Meador to inish second with 112.20.

“I’ve just always loved to ish,” said Wilkins, who owns the restaurant Martha’s Menu in Corinth. “David (Shipman)’s been coming into my restaurant for a long time, so we just decided to see if we made a good team. It’s been a lot of fun.”

Perhaps the biggest honor involv-ing a team of Corinth anglers came in 2011 when Haynie, King and Shipman were invited to represent the United States in the World Catish Classic on the Ebro River in Chiprana, Spain.

While ishing waters they had nev-er seen before and targeting species of catish that aren’t likely to show up below Pickwick Dam, they missed claiming the world title by 1 pound, 3 ounces.

If ever there was a second-place inish to be proud of, that was it.

“That was kind of a unique deal because I was the runner. I couldn’t touch a reel-and-rod,” Shipman said. “They were ishing of the bank. So it was my job to take a baited hook out in a row boat with a depth inder to look for those big Wells catish and drop the bait on one of them. I feel like I did a pretty good job.”

Still, inishing second in the world isn’t the accomplishment Shipman is most proud of. He’s most proud of holding the Big Cat Quest record for

heaviest ive-ish stringer caught in a competitive event.

The ive ish, which were caught from Alabama’s Wheeler Lake, weighed 270.95 pounds — and could have weighed more.

“At 10 o’clock that morning, I had three 60s, a 30 and a 14 in the live well, and I decided to go ahead and weigh some of them because I didn’t want them to die,” Shipman said. “I weighed the three 60s and then went

ahead and weighed the 30 — and that was a mistake. I should have waited and I could have had ive ish that weighed over 300 pounds.”

Shipman’s record has stood since 2008.

If it’s ever broken, don’t be shocked if it falls to one of Shipman’s Corinth neighbors.

Catish tournament veteran Larry Muse is the fur-thest thing from a boastful person.

He always says “please” and “yes sir” and “thank you,” and he’s always happy to help young anglers

hone their skills so they become more competitive on the tournament trail.

But on one issue, Muse doesn’t mind blowing his own horn. He wants to make sure people remember the 101.5-pound blue catish he landed during the Bass Pro Shops Big Cat Quest national championship on Wilson Lake in 2008.

Not only does he want his ish remembered, Muse wants it noted that only three catish have topped 100 pounds in Big Cat Quest events — and two of those giants were caught by anglers who live in his beloved hometown of Corinth, Miss.

For 30 years, Collierville UMC has been sending high school youth to Moun-tain Tennessee Outreach Project. John McCarty led the 2014 senior high team. McCarty has been going to Mountain T.O.P. since 1996.

Serving the people of the Cumberland Plateau in Middle Tennessee, the Mountain T.O.P. area cov-ers seven of the poorest counties in the state. The local high school, Grundy High, has a student popula-tion where 75 percent of the students are economically

disadvantaged. Mountain T.O.P. seeks to empower those it serves through a philosophy of partnership. Families and individuals that Mountain T.O.P. works with are given the oppor-tunity to contribute to the project.

Dr. Sarah Kingsley, who volunteers with the youth at Collierville UMC, re-ally likes that it is more than just getting the proj-ect done. Mountain T.O.P. emphasizes that projects have physical, spiritual, emotional and social ele-ments to them.

Kingsley noted, “Kids are in charge of the proj-

ect, with adult guidance, which encourages leader-ship skills.”

After the first year, Kingsley enjoyed build-ing things so much she not only signed up again, she packed some of her own tools to use at camp.

Longtime church mem-ber Ben Neal also is well known in Grundy County for his involvement as a Mountain T.O.P. board member for many years. On May 18 he was awarded the Fisher of People Hall of Fame award by Mountain T.O.P. ministries.

The Hall of Fame awards were initiated in 2013 to

recognize long-term vol-unteers. Most everyone at Collierville UMC knows Neal as Uncle Ben. He has been involved with the youth programs and at-tends softball games but is most famous for handing out “warm fuzzies” that reads “God Loves You and so does Uncle Ben!”

Lisa Junkins is a volunteer for Col-

lierville United Methodist Church.

CUMC members travel to the ‘Mountain T.O.P.’

Jacob and Sophie Hoang, both members of the Little Helpers volunteer group, donated canned foods for the Mid-South Food Bank in April. Accepting the food is Greg Howard, Walgreen’s Collierville store manager Perry Wilburn, Amanda Sams and Ann Trusty. In July, Little Helpers is collecting art supplies for St. Jude.

Special to The Weekly

Throughout July, the family vol-unteer group Little Helpers will be collecting arts supplies for patients of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

Drop of supplies at Donut Hutt in Collierville, 1016 W. Poplar, St. 111. Owner Rick Brenneman says he’ll give those who donate a free dough-nut. There also will be a special meet up on July 31 at Donut Hutt from 1-3 p.m. Guests will be make crowns for kids at St. Jude.

Joining in the festivities will be St. Jude patient Alyssa de Jong. She will collect the items and deliver them to St. Jude.

Alyssa says, “When I’m stuck wait-ing on appointments it gets boring, especially on long days at St. Jude. Art projects help me pass the time in a fun way.”

In 2012 at age 9, de Jong of Bartlett was diagnosed with melanoma,

which is rare in children. She was referred to St. Jude Children’s Re-search Hospital.

In 2013, less than a year after her cancer diagnosis, Alyssa’s 6-year-old cousin Tyler West was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia and was also referred to St. Jude.

Around the same time, Alyssa’s family received the news they had been waiting for since the day she was born — she had a diagnosis. Mi-cro deletion chromosome disorder, Koolen de Vries syndrome, afects an estimated one in 20,000 children, but so far only around 100 children have been diagnosed.

Battling medical challenges since birth including scoliosis, cervical stenosis and two heart irregulari-ties, Alyssa has remained strong and high-spirited throughout medi-cal tests, repeat visits to numerous specialists and frequent school ab-sences.
