At the Feb. 23 meeting of the Collierville Board of Mayor and Aldermen, a resolution was approved to rename a portion of U.S. Highway 72 as “Jim-my Lott Parkway.”

With this unanimous decision from the board, the late Alderman Jimmy Lott will be memorialized in honor of his decades of service to the town of Col-lierville and to the Col-lierville community.

Lott was irst elected to serve on the Collierville Board of Mayor and Al-

dermen in 1987 and was the third longest-serving alderman in the town’s history. Lott was a de-vout Christian, friend to all and a patient and wise leader.

The stretch of U.S. Highway 72, between Poplar Avenue to the Fay-ette County line, will be a way for future genera-tions to draw inspiration from the legacy of Lott.

“One day, I will take my kids for a drive on Jimmy Lott Parkway. Thank you for that gift. I loved my Poppa,” said Lott’s grand-son, James Lott.

“It is so appropriate this resolution has come forward because of what Jimmy Lott’s four decades of service meant to this

community,” said Mayor Stan Joyner. “I’m honored to make this presentation to his family and sign this resolution.”

Former Collierville High School basketball star Nikki McCray-Penson will become the tenth person and irst fe-male athlete from the state of Tennessee to be inducted into the National High School Hall of Fame.

McCray-Penson is among 12 individuals who will be in-ducted into the National Fed-eration of State High School Associations National High School Hall of Fame on July 2 in New Or-leans. The 33rd Hall of Fame induction cer-emony will be the closing event of the 96th NFHS an-nual summer meeting.

In high school, McCray-Penson was named an “All-American” by Parade Maga-zine and Converse during her senior season (1989-90) and also was the winner of the Class AAA Miss Basketball Award. She was a three-time All-State selection and was twice named The Commer-cial Appeal’s Best of the Preps Player of the Year.

She set four state records by the time she inished her high school career, all of which still stand today. She holds state records for most ield goals made in a career (1,592), most rebounds (1,720), most ield goals attempted (2,587), and most free throws attempted (858). She is third in the state record book for most points (3,594), but is irst all-time in 5-on-5 basketball.

NASHVILLE — There will need to be extra room on the bus for all the hardware the St. George’s basketball team earned Saturday.

Justin Wertner was named Mr. Basketball while Chase Hayden turned in an MVP performance. But the Gryphons were most excited about the biggest prize, the Division 2-A state championship.

St. George’s (28-4) won the second title in school history and irst since 2010, pulling away in the sec-ond half to defeat Harding, 68-45, in an all-Memphis inal at Lipscomb University’s Allen Arena.

“All respect goes to Harding,” said Gryphons coach Jef Ruin. “They have a great team and coach (Kevin) Starks is a very class act. We’re glad it was

Two-mile Greenway expansion green-lit

Germantown’s portion of the Greenway Trail is about to get 2 miles longer. The Board of Mayor and Alder-men on Feb. 23 approved a $1.8 million contract to ex-pand the trail on the north end of the city along Wolf River Boulevard.

City Administrator Patrick Lawton said the city will have to front the money but will be reim-bursed 80 percent by the Tennessee Department of Transportation.

The new stretch of trail will run between a soon-to-be-constructed western trailhead near Kimbrough Road eastward to Cam-eron Brown Park and will include parking, restroom facilities and a plaza area. Construction is expected to begin in April, Lawton said, and will take about a year.

NASHVILLE — State oicials say it’s too early to estimate the costs of responding to and repairing damage caused by two weeks of ice, snow and freezing tempera-tures — but it’s likely to be high.

Since the irst severe winter weather crossed into Tennessee on Feb. 16 and moved eastward in successive waves, state, local

and volunteer work crews have worked nonstop to help stranded motorists, check on people in re-mote areas, open shelters, clear roadways, remove downed trees and other debris, repair power lines, potholes and other damage.

Gov. Bill Haslam, the Tennes-see Emergency Management Agency and other state agencies say cost estimates haven’t been compiled, but the Tennessee De-partment of Transportation, or TDOT, reported Feb. 27 that its costs totaled nearly $11.3 million in labor, equipment and material for anti-icing, de-icing, plowing snow and other activities for the

irst week of the bad weather.“All of our regions are still

tabulating overtime, equipment, supply use for this week,” TDOT spokeswoman B.J. Doughty said. “Potholes is another matter en-tirely — and I don’t have that yet.”

While all the emergency work costs money, the state may also take a hit in their sales tax rev-enue during February: many shopping centers simply closed when the streets were iced over and those that opened were virtu-ally devoid of shoppers.

February sales tax revenue isn’t remitted to the state until March, when the monthly reve-

nue tally will determine whether and how much the storms cost in lost tax revenue.

“We don’t know yet (what the state’s cost will be),” Gov. Bill Haslam said Feb. 26 in Mem-phis. “Of course, you have both the costs for public entities — cit-ies, counties and the state — and then you have the lost economic opportunity as well. We’re in the middle of computing all that be-cause to get a presidential disas-ter declaration, you have to meet certain economic criteria.”

TEMA activated its state emer-gency operations center at a Level 4 response on the morning of Feb.

16, as the irst widespread sleet, freezing rain, snow and ice began falling. TEMA raised its activation status to Level 3 that Monday night and declared a state of emergen-cy as the treacherous conditions spread over the state, stranding motorists in 12-mile-long backups on interstate highways.

TEMA moved to a Level 2 state of emergency at 3 p.m. last Satur-day. The number of homes and businesses without power topped 60,000 at times.

And 30 people died in traic accidents, ires and exposure di-rectly related to the harsh weath-er, according to TEMA.

The $3.5 million, 30,000-square-foot expansion of Highland Church of Christ, which was dedicated last Sunday, fo-cuses on children’s activities. Church staf members are working to get the new wing ready, including cleaning furniture in the ifth-grade classroom. There’s also a large multipurpose area.

Highland Church of Christ dedicated a multi-million-dollar expansion to its Cordova campus Sunday, completing the building’s original concept when it opened in 2010.

Dedication of the 30,000-square-foot section is a testament to the growth the church at 400 N. Hous-ton Levee has enjoyed in less than ive years. The new section on the building’s east side is designed to lessen the demands on classroom space already overlowing with attendees, and provide a focus on children’s activities with a large multipurpose room.

“This was not going to happen if we moved out here and stayed the same or leveled of or dropped a little bit,” said Chris Altrock, Highland’s preaching minister. “It was going to require some signiicant growth over three or four or ive years to make it happen. Thankfully, it did.”

The $3.5 million project — called Overlow — ac-tually was part of the original plans but was removed because of costs. Altrock said that, in essence, the expansion is Phase II of the church. The Renais-sance Group, architects, and Linkous Construction, which were involved in the original construction, continued their work on the expansion. Doug Burris of Renaissance and Rusty Linkous of Linkous Con-struction both are longtime members at Highland — beneits to the new project because they were aware of the church’s direction and desires.

Construction started about 18 months ago. Allen Hewitt, the church administrator, said Burris and Linkous “took a very hands-on approach to making it come together.”

The church’s location just north of Walnut Grove is in the Houston Levee corridor, which Altrock ac-knowledges is lightheartedly referred to as Church Row. A number of churches moved into the stretch between Interstate 40 and Wolf River before the economic downturn slowed the migration. High-land’s growth and expansion indicate — like the economy — things are improving.

Highland’s history includes stops in buildings on Southern Avenue, Highland Street and the Masonic Hall near the University of Memphis. The church was without a building between 2007 and 2010, holding services for a time at Harding Academy on Cherry Road — setting up and tear-ing down each Sunday. In May 2010, the church moved to the current 39-acre site.

“That was a really good exercise for us,” Al-trock said of the school setting. “One of the things we learned was the importance of being a church for the neighborhood.”

The new location, according to the church, has led to more than 300 people joining the congrega-tion since it arrived on Houston Levee, pushing attendance to about 1,000. Sunday school atten-dance has grown from about 600 to more than 800.

“We have sadly watched guests to Highland walk into a Sunday school classroom, ind no place to sit and walk out. In addition, we have zero spaces to begin new classes,” the church said in its brochures promoting the Overlow campaign.

Church oicials said the growth has included families with children, contributing to the need to serve the needs of younger members.

The layout of the expansion spreads from two wings of classrooms — six for children; ive for adults. A lobby sits in the apex of the wings with a multipurpose room — called The Crossing — of the lobby.

“We had something similar to this on the draw-ing board,” Altrock said of the original plans, “but in the intervening four years, we learned a lot about ministry to kids and about what we think our future needs would be, so we made some very signiicant changes to it.”

McCray-Penson inished her career second in the record book for career ield goal percentage (.592).

After high school, she went on to play at the University of Tennessee-Knoxville where she was named an All-American and SEC Player of the Year both as a junior and senior. She inished her collegiate career with 1,572 points, which is still among the Lady Vols’ top 15. In her four years at Tennessee, the Lady Vols won three SEC regular-season titles, two conference tourna-ment championships and appeared in four NCAA tournaments.

After her collegiate ca-reer, McCray-Penson went on to play professionally for 11 years, two years in the ABL and nine years in the WNBA. She was a three-time WNBA All-Star and was named MVP of the ABL for the 1996-97 season. She was inducted into the Women’s Basket-ball Hall of Fame in 2012 and is a two-time Olympic gold medal winner (1996 and 2000).

She is currently in her seventh year as an assis-tant coach for the Uni-versity of South Carolina women’s basketball team.

“We are extremely hap-py for Nikki and her fam-ily,” Bernard Childress, ex-ecutive director of TSSAA, said. “She was such an out-standing athlete and is so well-revered in Tennessee high school history, and we are honored to have her represent our state as the irst female athlete induct-ed into the National High School Hall of Fame. This is a very proud moment for Collierville High School, the state of Tennessee and TSSAA, but most of all, it’s a proud moment for Nik-ki’s family.”

Previous Tennessee in-ductees include coaches Rick Insell, Catherine Neely, the late Jim Smid-dy, the late Buck Van Huss, and the late Boyce Smith. Anfernee “Penny” Hard-away was inducted last year.

The National High School Hall of Fame was started in 1982 by the NFHS to honor athletes, coaches, contest oicials, administrators, perform-ing arts coaches/directors and others for extraordi-nary achievements and accomplishments in high school sports and activity programs.

The 12 individuals were chosen after a two-level se-lection process involving a screening committee com-posed of active high school state association adminis-trators, coaches and oi-cials, and a inal selection committee composed of coaches, former athletes, state association oicials, media representatives and educational leaders. Nominations were made through NFHS member associations.

an all-Memphis inal.”And like it did in the

two regular-season meet-ings between the two, it went the Gryphons’ way.

Hayden, a 5-10 sopho-more, connected on 10 of 17 shots and made all seven free throws to inish with 27 points. Wertner added 14 points and seven boards and said his team was primed to seize the moment.

“We knew we had to come out with a lot of energy,” Wertner said. “I mean, it’s the state cham-pionship.”

Hayden’s quickness neutralized Harding’s press, which they used in the second half after trail-ing 26-17 at the break.

“That’s their strength but when you have some-one who handles it like Chase does, it makes it hard,” Ruin said.

Harding (18-14) may have also been feeling the

efects from their emo-tional overtime win over Battle Ground in last Fri-day’s semis.

“There may have been some of that, but they just outplayed us,” Starks said. “I didn’t do a good job of preparing us ... we just never got in sync.

“I conceded to you that we may not have been the best or second-best team in the state. But late in the season, no team in the state of Tennessee played harder than we did.”

Troy West was the only player in double digits for Harding, scoring 12. Con-

nor Green had 12 for the Gryphons while Noah Pope, who joined Hayden and Wertner on the all-tourney team, had 10.

“The key to this team was how everyone bought in and came together,” Ruin said. “We had the same guys (as in the past) but we weren’t as together.

“And even a couple of games this year, there were times you could see fragmentation. But they clicked and made each other better.”

For Terri Lee Freeman, the National Civil Rights Museum is a sacred, not sad, space.

The museum at the Lorraine Motel where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was killed on April 4, 1968, is a safe place to have dif-ficult conversations and spark positive action to “move us from the place we are to the place that we want to be,” she said.

“Every time I think about why Dr. King was here, I am propelled to think about his thoughts around economic equity,” she said. “He had realized that the legal barriers had been broken but there wasn’t much progress. And there wasn’t much progress because there were too many poor peo-ple.”

Freeman, the new presi-dent of the museum, spoke last Saturday morning at a museum breakfast attend-ed by about 100 guests.

She spoke about the fu-ture of the museum, and those in attendance got to

ask her any questions they desired.

Freeman said she envi-sions students and teach-ers worldwide tapping into the museum’s infor-mation electronically. She also wants the museum to be engaged in scholarly research on modern civil and human rights issues.

And she encouraged having partnerships with local and historically black colleges and uni-versities, action with the faith-based community and more traveling exhib-its on niche topics.

Her wish list for the museum includes more money, more exhibit space and a more recognizable marketing campaign in East Memphis and the suburbs.

“This is everybody’s museum,” she said. “Fair-ness is a concept that is really, really important to me. ... There is a lot going on in our commu-nity that doesn’t seem to be fair. And this place is built on the blood, sweat and tears of those ordi-nary people that decided to take a stand ... and they were successful.”.

The opening shot panned over a moon-lit beach, covered with blood-soaked bodies, and came to rest on a man rising to his feet from be-hind a piece of driftwood. This man emerged as the movie’s main character, a swaggering, sneering po-liceman who accepts cash from gangsters.

Most local moviegoers wouldn’t understand this ilm, a sometimes brutally violent musical. Almost all the dialogue was in Tele-gu, a language spoken in southern India, and there were no subtitles.

Of the seven new mov-ies that opened in Mem-phis over the Valentine’s Day weekend, two came from India, with “Tem-per” at Malco’s Collierville Towne Cinema and “Roy” — a Hindi-language movie about mysterious thief — at Wolfchase Cinema.

The audience for Indian movies in a Memphis sub-urb illustrates how the South has changed from a culture deined by black and white to one with large minorities from other na-tions. It also shows the power of the Indian ilm industry — it produces about 1,000 movies plus original songs in multiple languages each year, and inluences millions of peo-ple at home and abroad.

Svinivas Yelamarthi, a software profession-al, and his family were among about 25 people at the 7 p.m. Feb. 14 showing of “Temper.” He learned about it through a web por-tal for Indians living here, Memphismasti.com.

“It’s good that we’re get-ting a lot of Indian movies. It’s fun,” Yelamarthi said.

The audience for the movies is growing. The Census counted 6,290 In-dians in Shelby County in 2010. They represent less

than 1 percent of the popu-lation, but their numbers have almost doubled from 3,354 a decade earlier.

The pace of Indian mov-ie openings has increased. The Commercial Appeal’s movie critic John Beifuss keeps track of all movie openings in the Memphis area and recorded three Indian movie openings in 2012. That rose to 11 in 2013 and 24 in 2014.

At least seven Indian movies have opened here so far in 2015.

One person responsible for the increasing number of Indian movies in Mem-phis is 42-year-old Kanth Nallabantu.

“Movies are part of cul-ture. In India, we watch too many movies. I think that’s something people deinitely miss,” he said. He said his family back home in Andhra Pradesh in southern India owns some theaters, and he’s coordinated movie show-ings in Memphis for about 17 years, mostly as a hobby.

He used to bring mov-ies to the Hollywood 20 theater in Bartlett but last year began working exclusively with Malco. The Malco relationship allows him to show mov-ies in Collierville, closer

to where many Indians live. His company, Kamp Group, obtains rights to show movies from Indian companies or their subsid-iaries and he rents theater space from Malco, not just in the Memphis area, but in Rogers, Ark., also.

He picks new movies based on reviews and star power. The movies open on the same day in Mem-phis and in India — some-times they actually open a day earlier here because of the time diference.

When Nallabantu start-ed showing Indian movies here, he’d usually ofer just one show. Two factors led him to seek longer book-ings: More people were coming, and families found it hard to coordinate schedules and make it to a single showing.

Dr. Sridhar Shankar, a 46-year-old radiologist who grew up in Calcutta, recently went with his family to see “PK” in Col-lierville. He said India’s massive movie industry has had a powerful impact on the country’s society.

“It’s a subtle and all-pervasive role that the in-tellectual-type people like me try to deny,” Shankar said. “But it is there. It is always there.”

Megan Harrelson enjoys making crafts, painting and woodworking in her spare time.

MEGAN HARRELSONBailey Station Elementary, special education

Q What do you like most about your school?

A It would have to be the family atmosphere. There aren’t even

words that could genuinely explain the way it feels to be a part of such an amazing family.

Q What was your favorite subject as a kid and why?

A My favorite subject as a kid was math. I loved the challenges it

brought but also the fun ways my teachers taught the material.

Q What was the most challenging subject for you as a kid and why?

A I can be somewhat of a perfec-tionist, so writing was always

diicult for me. It was always hard for me to igure out how to get start-ed and get all my ideas written in just the right way.

Q What is the greatest challenge you face as an educator?

A Time is deinitely my great-est challenge as an educator.

I always want to do and show my students more than there is time.

Q What do you hope to accomplish as an educator?

A For my students to reach a new goal and become even more

proud of themselves than they al-ready are. As a special education teacher, our students face chal-lenges that other students might not. I want to instill hope in these children and show them anything is possible if they try for.

Q What is the most rewarding mo-ment you’ve had as a teacher?

A One of the most rewarding mo-ments would have to be seeing

the look on a student’s face when they meet a goal or do something they didn’t think they could.

Q Who is your teaching inspiration and why?

A Mrs. Kim Tunnell. I have never seen someone love and care

for students the way she does. She handles every situation with grace and compassion.

Q Who is the person you most ad-mire?

A The person I admire most is my grandmother, Linda Heinz.

She is one of the most compassion-ate, giving, caring, supportive and selless people I have ever met. I don’t know where I would be to-day without her constant love and support.

Q When did you know you wanted to be an educator?

A I knew I wanted to be an edu-cator when I was in the ifth

grade. I still have my yearbook where it asked what I wanted my profession to be.

Q What is something people would be surprised to know about you?

A I am terriied of heights. At a Young Life camp this past

summer, I had to complete a ropes course with my group. I bawled like a baby when it was time to jump of the platform.

Q If you weren’t a teacher, what would you be?

A I would be a social worker. One of my hardest decisions

was deciding between a degree in education or social work.

Q What are some things you enjoy doing outside of the classroom?

A There are so many things I love doing. In my spare time,

I love doing crafts, painting and woodworking.

TEACHER SPOTLIGHT

Harrelson says everyone is like family at Bailey Station

SYDNEY SPARKSBriarcrest, sophomore

Family: Parents, Brooke and Brian; sisters, Tara and Ashley

What do you like most about your school: I love that Briar-crest allows any child with goals or passions to be able to pursue them in their daily tasks.

What is your favorite subject: Choir and English/writing. I love singing and learning how to get better at my strengths.

Most challenging subject: Math and Spanish. I just can’t seem to grasp the concepts fully.

What are some of your biggest

accomplishments: I acted in mu-sicals and plays and made All-Southwest choir in eighth and ninth grades, and hopefully in 10th.

Hobbies: I enjoy singing, writing songs and playing gui-tar. It’s a way to express myself and sort of my escape.

Goals for the future: To be able to do what I love for a liv-ing (singing and songwriting).

Person you most admire: I most admire my parents and talented musicians trying to make it. It’s so hard but if you are determined enough you can do anything you put your mind to.

What would you do if you were principal for a day: I would allow comfortable clothing — just wearing a sweatshirt and leg-gings would be the life.

What famous person would you like to meet: Justin Timber-lake. Not because I’m absolute-ly in awe of him, but because I admire how musically tal-ented he is at singing, dancing and playing instruments. His passion for what he is doing is contagious.

What would you do with $1 mil-lion: I would donate most of it and keep the rest for my family.

If you could change one thing in the world: I would stop all the

cruelty and bullying over the lit-tle things. I would change peo-ple’s hearts for the better and show people that the only way to absolute peace is through the Lord our savior.

To nominate a star student, e-mail Matt

Woo at [email protected].

Sydney Sparks hopes to make All-Southwest choir in her sophomore year at Briarcrest.

The Collierville High School baseball team

hosted its irst Color Run 5K Feb. 14, begin-ning and ending at the CHS Dragons baseball ield.

T-shirts were provided for more than 100 race partici-pants who were showered with color at several stops along the race route. MedPost and PT2 Physical Therapy & Personal Training were available on-site to handle any medical issues. Michelle Sutton served as the race or-ganizer. Jef Tow, president of the team’s booster club, said he was excited about how the

race turned out and thought it went smoothly for a irst-time event.

The club also sells promotional signs to be hung on fences surrounding the baseball ield. Proceeds this year also will go toward funding new batting cages ad-jacent to the clubhouse.

Mark Duggin was recently named the new president of Rossville Christian Academy.

Duggin has extensive experi-ence as a pastor and educator. He has spent the last three years as a teacher/coach at the school. He will work in the areas of stu-dent recruitment, student reten-tion, facilities, long-range plan-ning and fundraising.

RCA has experienced a 12 percent increase in enrollment over the past year and is looking forward to continued growth in enrollment and facilities.

Duggin understands the desires and needs of RCA and will work with administration, faculty, students, parents and the community to continue promoting quality Christian education.

“I am excited about the op-portunity and challenge that lies ahead of me in joining the administrative team,” Duggin said.

Headmaster Mike Coggins, who will continue to oversee educational aspects and day-to-day operations of the school, believes the addition of Duggin will make RCA a stronger and

more eicient school.“I have great respect for

Mark, and know that with us working together and shar-ing the many responsibilities of the operation and vision of

RCA, the school community will continue to thrive,” Cog-gins said.

Melanie Morgan is the administrative as-

sistant at Rossville Christian Academy.

“The greatest service which can be rendered any country is to add a useful plant to its

culture.”

— Thomas Jeferson

Peter Hatch most likely knows more about Thomas Jeferson the gardener than anyone

alive today.He started working on the

restoration of Jeferson’s re-markable garden at Monticel-lo in 1977 and continued as its caretaker and champion until he retired in 2012.

The author of “A Rich Spot of Earth: Thomas Jeferson’s Revolutionary Garden at Mon-ticello,” Hatch braved erratic flight schedules and other weather-related misery last month to present two slide lectures here — one to mem-bers of the Little Garden Club and another to members of the Mid-South Hosta Society and others at the Memphis Botanic Garden.

On a frosty February eve-ning, about 150 people found themselves temporarily trans-ported to a mountain near Charlottesville, Va., during the early 19th century.

Jeferson, who retired from political life in 1811, threw himself into gardening like no one in America ever had.

“Though I am an old man, I am a young gardener,” he wrote.

He guided a crew of slaves in carving out an 8-acre, 1,000-foot terraced garden

supported by a stone wall ad-jacent to his grand home.

In the 600,000 cubic feet of soil brought to the site, Jef-ferson cultivated some 330 varieties of vegetables and 170 kinds of fruits up until his death in 1826.

“Jeferson reveled in oddly colored vegetables such as white eggplants, variegated cabbages and other curiosi-ties,” Hatch said. “His garden was an Ellis Island of fruits and vegetables from around the world.”

Jeferson approached his hobby as an epicure looking for the next great lavor and as a scientist who meticulously recorded his successes and failures.

On a page in his journal kept during 1809, he noted that 19 of the 40 vegetables planted that year had failed.

“He said that if he failed 99 times out of 100, he con-sidered himself successful,” Hatch said.

The “genius” of the gar-den, according to Hatch, is its microclimate formed by a southern exposure that made it warm enough to enjoy some type of fresh produce almost every day of the year.

Some other Jefersonian tid-bits to munch on:

■ Jeferson’s favorite veg-etable was English peas. He engaged his neighbors in an annual competition for who could harvest the irst batch. The winner was treated to a dinner prepared by the “los-ers.”

Ellen Randolph Coolidge wrote that her grandfather had “less the spirit of rivalry than anyone I ever knew, and took the most genuine plea-sure in the success of others.”

He once insisted no one let the others know how early his peas were so that another could win the contest.

■ Lettuce was a popular crop that was harvested al-most year round. In an article in the magazine American Gardener, Jeferson advised readers to “sow a thimbleful of lettuce seeds every Mon-day morning from Feb. 1 to Sept. 1.”

■ Cucumbers were an-other favorite in the garden, including a yardlong variety that sparked interest from his neighbors.

It is actually a gourd known as the guinea bean, which is still grown by modern garden-ers in the Monticello area and

is cooked like squash. ■ One of Jeferson’s garden

journals has been made avail-able for online reading by the Massachusetts Historical So-ciety at masshist.org/thomas-jefersonpapers/garden.

It surprised no one that Hatch named Jeferson as one of his two heroes.

The other, former Mem-phian Henry Mitchell, was less obvious.

Many gardeners from Mem-phis and far beyond esteem Mitchell as one of the all-time great American garden writ-ers. His gardening columns appeared in The Commercial Appeal in the 1950s and ’60s and then in The Washington Post from 1973 until his death in 1993. Many of the columns are compiled in his books, “The Essential Earthman,” “One Man’s Garden” and “Henry Mitchell on Garden-ing.”

He grew more than 500 va-rieties of irises in his Memphis garden and was a member of the Memphis Iris Society and the Men’s Garden Club, whose members were instrumental in establishing an arboretum on the grounds of what is now

the Memphis Botanic Garden.But should Mitchell share

the lofty air with Jeferson?I had to ind out more, so I

called Hatch.“Henry took me under his

arm when I was a young pup at Monticello,” he explained, adding that Mitchell attended the University of Virginia and knew a lot about Jeferson.

Hatch was drawn to Mitch-ell’s wit and irreverence in his writings and conversations. They shared a love of dogs and an aversion to pomposity.

Not long before Mitchell died of bladder cancer in 1993, he stepped up to a podium in the garden at Monticello in front of about 150 people.

He stood in silence so long that Hatch was about to bolt from his seat to check on his friend. When Mitchell inally began to speak, he captured the audience with his insight-ful comments about Jeferson and gardening.

Mitchell’s wife, Ginny, later told Hatch that her husband had had an emotional moment as he stood in the place where Jefferson had experienced some of the most enjoyable and rewarding days of his life.

NASHVILLE — More than anything, Briarcrest Chris-tian School girls basketball coach Lee Smith wanted to send his senior class out with a state champion-ship. But in the end, the Lady Saints had to settle for their second runner-up inish in the last four years.

Brentwood Academy took control of the game early and went on to win, 63-41, last Saturday in the title game of the BlueCross Division 2-AA state tour-nament at Lipscomb Uni-versity’s Allen Arena.

It’s the second straight championship for the Eagles, who inished 29-1 and will take a 27-game winning streak into next season. Briarcrest ends the year 22-7.

“You see what’s on the court but you don’t get to see these girls of,” said Smith. “For example, we had six last week inducted into the National Honor So-ciety. Very few coaches get a chance to do what I do.

“It’s been an awesome group, on and of the loor. I’m not going to cry be-cause it’s over; I’m going to smile because it started.”

The Saints’ senior class — Northern Alabama sign-ees Brynn and Elise Hold-en, Tatiana Love, Julianne Bryson and Kathryn New-man — helped compile a 103-13 record over the last four years. This year’s

trip to Nashville was the team’s fourth straight ap-pearance in the inal four.

“It means a lot to have done it with all my team-mates,” said Elise Holden. “It’s something I’ll always remember.”

Brentwood Academy took control of the game early, closing the first quarter on a 15-2 run to build a double-digit lead that they only relinquished once. The Eagles pushed the lead to 32-16 at the break and never allowed the Saints to gain any kind of momentum afterward.

Briarcrest hurt its own cause by shooting just 26.8 percent for the game (11 of 41) and turning the ball over 19 times.

“Turnovers killed us,” Smith said. “We had 12 in the irst half. We were pretty even on the boards — we actually out-re-bounded them (26-25) — but you can’t have that many turnovers, especially against the defending state

champs. We didn’t make them work hard enough.”

Elise Holden went 9 of 10 from the line to lead the Saints with 11 points. Brynn Holden added 10 and joined her sister on the TSSAA state all-tour-nament team.

Freshman Sydni Harvey — who was named tourna-ment Most Valuable Player for the second straight year — had 17 points for the Eagles on 6 of 6 shoot-ing. Linde McAvoy led Brentwood Academy with 19 points.

BRIARCREST BOYS FALL IN SEMIFINALS

It was hard for Briar-crest coach John Har-rington to watch his team lose 66-39 to Brentwood Academy in the Division 2-AA boys state tour-nament semifinals last Thursday. It was also pretty hard looking down at the opposing bench.

Brentwood Academy’s coach is Hubie Smith,

who was the head coach at Bartlett for 18 years while Harrington was his assis-tant. The two have been friends for 45 years.

“We’ve played one other time, my irst year at Bri-arcrest when he was still

at Bartlett,” Harrington said. “It’s tough. It’s one of those games where you don’t want to win but you don’t want to lose.

“We’ve been to state 11 of the last 13 years and pre-paring for this one was the

hardest.”Will Hrubes scored 15

points to lead the Saints (26-9). He shot 6 of 8 from the loor, while the rest of the team combined to go 7 for 25. Micah Thomas in-ished with 10 points.

NASHVILLE — Don’t get him wrong; Micah Thomas has no intention of returning the Mr. Basketball tro-phy he won last Saturday. But he knows there’s still work to do.

The Briarcrest standout cap-tured the award last Saturday, in-ishing ahead of Ensworth’s Jordan Bone and Darius Garland of state champion Brentwood Academy.

Despite battling a foot injury for a good portion of the season, the 6-7 junior averaged 14 points and four rebounds per game, while shoot-ing 49 percent from the loor and 41 per-cent from 3-point range.

His eforts helped Briarcrest to a 25-9 season that ended with a loss to Brent-wood Academy in the semiinals.

“I still wish we had won,” said Thomas. “I am sur-prised a little bit. I could have played a lot better and now I’m going to have to work a lot harder.”

Thomas — who has ofers from the University of Mem-phis among several other schools — is the third Briarcrest player to win Mr. Basketball. Leslie McDonald was the winner in 2008 and 2009 while U of M standout Austin Nichols was honored in 2012 and 2013.

St. Mary’s senior Kaylan Pugh won the D2-A girls Miss Basket-ball award, beating out last year’s winner Micah Sheetz of Knoxville Webb and University School of Jackson standout Anna Jones.

A prolific scorer since her eighth-grade year Pugh saved her best for last, averaging 29.2 points while shooting 70 percent from the loor. The 5-9 Ohio State signee also averaged six boards, three assists and four steals per contest. She leaves St. Mary’s with over 2,700 career points, a total which places her in the top 10 all-time in Shelby County.

Pugh was unable to attend last Saturday due to a family emergen-cy but Turkeys’ coach Emily Ow-ens had plenty of praise for her star.

“She’s made our program,” she said. “She’s been the face of St. Mary’s basketball; her impact has been immeasurable. And she’s a lot of fun to be around and when you think of the academic rigor at St. Mary’s ... she’s special.”

Wertner, a 6-4 senior guard from St. George’s, won the D2-A Mr. Bas-ketball boys award over Kenny Coo-per from Franklin Road and Dakota Quinn from Davidson Academy.

He helped the Gryphons win the state title last Saturday. He aver-aged 18.4 points, 9.7 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 2.1 steals per game.

Wertner, who has signed to played college basketball at UC-Irvine, scored over 1,000 career points and holds school records for most 3-point ield goals and best free throw percentage.

NASHVILLE — Leave it to coach Bubba Luckett to provide the right perspective on the 2014-15 CBHS basketball season.

“We’ll win another state title before we go 29-1 again,” he said.

And even though that “1” will be foremost in the Broth-ers’ minds for a while at least, it was still one heck of a season for a school still reeling from the deaths of two student-ath-letes in a Feb. 14 automobile accident.

Brentwood Academy spot-ted the Brothers a 15-point lead early in the third quarter before getting hot from out-side and went on to win the BlueCross Division 2-AA boys state championship last Satur-day, 58-55. CBHS was bidding to win its irst state title since 1987 and fell one game short of being the irst Memphis-area team to go undefeated since Hamilton in 2006.

“It’s been a tough last cou-ple of weeks,” said Luckett of the accident that claimed the lives of University of Memphis baseball signee Colin Kilgore and lacrosse player Christophe Kesterson.

“I think this team — maybe more than any other team in the history of the school — re-ally captured the spirit of the students and the alumni. I had people that came to see us play and they’d say, ‘we weren’t coming before but now we’ll be coming back.’ Then they were hooked and all of our games were packed.”

As they had in the semii-nals on Feb. 26, the Brothers got plenty of vocal support from their student section, along with many friends and alumni who made the trip to Allen Arena on the campus of Lipscomb University.

And they had plenty to cel-ebrate in the second quarter when CBHS outscored the Eagles 22-8 to take a 27-16 lead into the locker room. The Brothers extended that lead to 34-19 early in the third quar-ter. But Brentwood Academy — which eliminated Briarcrest — had other ideas.

“We came together in the second half,” said Jeremiah Oatsvall, who scored 12 of his 14 points over the inal two pe-riods to lead the Eagles.

“We were playing selishly in the irst half and that wasn’t getting us anywhere. We had to start playing like brothers, like we had all season.”

Some uncharacteristic turnovers and some bad shot selection helped Brentwood Academy forge ahead. A pair of free throws by Undra Wil-son gave CBHS a 48-43 lead with 3:51 to go, but the Broth-ers were outscored 15-7 the rest of the way.

“I think we panicked,” said Shun Alexander, who scored 13 points in his inal high school game. “We’re not the kind of

team that usually comes out and gets a big lead; we’re usu-ally the ones having to catch up and it was a diferent feel-ing.”

William Douglas, who joined Alexander and Justin Lindner on the all-tourna-ment team, also had 13 points. Darius Garland had 12 for Brentwood Academy, which is coached by former Bartlett coach Hubie Smith.

“They’ve got a great team,” said Luckett. “And we did some things that we really haven’t done all year. We were 29-0 and we inally let one slip away.”

Arlington standout Tori Sewell has a message for the rest of the girls basket-ball teams in the state.

“We’re coming.”And the Tigers are

bringing Bartlett and Craigmont with them.

Three area teams ad-vanced to the girls state tournament Monday night, led by Arlington’s 52-49 victory over a Ridgeway team that spent the en-tire season ranked irst in The Commercial Appeal’s Dandy Dozen and also was ranked as high as fourth nationally.

The Tigers — the cham-pions of Region 7 — will

be joined in the AAA tournament by Bartlett, which knocked of Region 8 winner Overton, 46-42. Craigmont will represent AA this week after a 69-55 victory over Crockett County.

Sewell scored 19 points to lead the giant-killing Tigers, who will be play-ing in the state tournament for the irst time in school history. Their win over Ridgeway follows a vic-tory over previously unde-feated Dyer County in the semiinals of last week’s Region 7 tournament.

“We just kept our com-posure,” said Sewell. “It didn’t matter if we were up or down, we just kept our composure.”

Added Raegyn Branch,

“We played with a lot of heart.”

Arlington, which took a 26-9 record into Wednes-day’s game against Mor-ristown West at MTSU’s Murphy Center, had an outstanding defensive game while keeping the tempo right where they wanted it.

Ridgeway — which was led by 20 points from Brandi Beasley — hung tough, though, and pulled to within 51-49 after a put-back by Elizabeth Dixon with 10.3 seconds left. Cheiyanne Norton then hit 1 of 2 free throws and Breouanna Humphrey’s 3 at the buzzer was of the mark.

Branch added 11 for the Tigers while Eryn Foster

scored 12 for Ridgeway, which ends the year with two straight losses after winning its irst 28.

At Overton, Char-ity Savage poured in 29 points to send the Pan-thers (21-10) to state for the irst time since 2008. Bartlett opened against Murfreesboro Oakland on Wednesday.

“We switched from a 2-3 zone to a soft man to

try and take away their guard penetration,” said Panthers coach Lynn Whitield. “Overton does a great job with their pres-sure defense, but we did a great job of handling their pressure.”

Few teams anywhere will enter the state tour-nament on as good a roll as Craigmont. The Chiefs will take a 15-game win-ning streak into today’s

2:15 p.m. quarterfinal against McMinn Central.

Daja Scurlock had 18 to lead the Chiefs (27-6). Kiara Caswell had 15 and Danielle Conley chipped in with 14.

“Kiara Caswell and Danielle Conley really stepped their games up,” said Chiefs coach Tim An-derson. “They made some runs, but we did a great job of answering them.”

On a frigid Saturday morning in German-town, a group of people who consider

themselves car enthusiasts got together to discuss the one topic they all agree on — cars.

From the oldest car, a 1966 Pon-tiac Catalina station wagon that was used to haul hay on the original owner’s farm, to a fully tricked out 2014 Dodge Charger Super Bee with a large and powerful V-8 engine, the cars there weren’t just a means of transportation. They were a per-sonal statement.

In particular owners were there to show of their rides and share sto-ries on how they came to own that particular car or how they have set about the task of rebuilding it to its current condition and what their fu-ture plans are.

This gathering of like-minded people was like a cofee klatch for gear heads.

In fact, the name of this and other such meet-ups that occur in Ger-mantown and around the country are called Cars and Cofee. The Ger-mantown event is hosted by Fires-tone, NAPA, Mr. Touchup, Word of Mouth Detailing, Art and Speed Classic Car Gallery, Roadshow BMW/Mini and Memphis Interna-tional Raceway.

The Cars and Cofee event is held the fourth Saturday of every month at the Firestone Complete Auto Care parking lot, 2115 Exeter, from 8 a.m. until noon. Nearly all of the meet-ups have the parking lot full of classic or soon-to-be-classic cars on display.

Don’t feel you have to be a car owner to attend, many who showed up were there to look and talk about their common interest in cars.

In the words of Jim Rogers, an ac-tive participant, “This isn’t a car club or a car show. It’s a meetup of car enthusiasts.”

A group of the car enthusiasts showed up in 30 degree weather to show of their cars during the monthly Cars and Cofee gathering at the Firestone Complete Auto Care parking lot, 2115 Exeter, in Germantown. “This isn’t a car club or a car show. It’s a meetup of car enthusiasts,” said Jim Rogers.

The Answeris YES!Anyone who knowsme will tell youI am a straight upguy. I’ve held off oncommenting on theerectile dysfunction(ED) controversy untilI was able to really domy homework. Wellthe results are in.

Erectile dysfunctionis a fact of life.Whether it occursdue to an accident, arecent surgery(prostate cancer is abiggie), diabetes, orsimply due to aging,the accompanyingloss of self esteemis something thateffects millionsof men every day.And in a nutshell,that seems to bethe problem - everyman’s ED problem isdifferent and requiresdifferent treatment.

What color is yourfavorite pill?Drug companies havejumped all over thislike a --- well a drugcompany. I don’t haveto say the names--- we’ve all seen theads --- but they’vespent millions tryingto convince you allthat one pill ixes all--- when in actualitythey fail over 50% ofthe time. And that’sjust a fact.

Somebody whospecializes in men’ssexual health.After extensiveresearch, the onlyapproach that makessense comes fromcompanies called theMen’s Clinic that havebeen opening acrossthe country.

Bridge pros give “playing lessons.” They play a session with a pupil, then critique the deals. Coping with a pupil is a taxing business, partly be-cause the pupil wants to learn but also wants to win. The pro must strike a balance between those goals.

Ed, my club’s best player, often gives playing lessons.

“I was South,” Ed told me, showing today’s deal. “When West’s raise to two diamonds was passed to me, I could have balanced with a double, but then my pupil might have been declarer at a shaky con-tract. So I risked a bid of two spades.”

I groaned inwardly, but pros are expected to make such bids in support of their pupils.

“West led a diamond,” Ed said, “and I took the ace and led a trump to dummy’s queen. East might have done well to play low, but he won. He cashed two diamonds and next led the ace and a low heart. My king won.

“I knew East had held only three diamonds. West wouldn’t have raised with three-card support. He hadn’t responded one heart, so East had four of those. And if East had held three diamonds and three clubs, to open one club would have been correct. So I gave East 4-4-3-2 shape.”

Ed led a trump to the jack and finessed with his nine next. He drew the last trump and took the A-K of clubs. East-West followed low, so Ed led a club to dummy’s ten and won the 13th trick with the queen. Making three!

Ed did his job, and his pupil was pleased. North-South got a matchpoint top for plus 140, and North learned something about counting distribution by inference.

Dear Harriette: I some-times feel like life is passing me by. I am in my mid-50s, and I’m single. I’ve been working the same job for a long time, which is fine, but it’s boring. I can retire soon because I’m lucky to have good benefits. But what would I do?

I don’t have many friends. I get along with people, but I don’t hang out with anybody. I talk to a couple of friends from my hometown on the phone. But I have become somewhat of a recluse. I feel like I have forgotten what fun looks like or something.

Sometimes I wonder if I didn’t show up to work or church or wherever, would anyone even no-tice?

I know that sounds pathetic. I need to do something to shake myself out of this feeling. What can I do?

— Miserable, Dallas

Answer: It is time for you to shake up your life and try something new. Do you have any child-

hood hobbies that you might want to pursue again? Consider joining a book club, an athletic facility that o�ers group classes, or an art class. The idea is to put your-self in the company of other people doing some-thing that interests you.

You may also want to participate in the Life Reimagined program that AARP created, life-reimagined.aarp.org.

It is a wonderful free program designed to help people look at their lives di�erently and plot their course for the future.

Dear Annie: My hus-band’s sister controlled his mother’s finances. “Carol” paid the nursing home with her mother’s credit card and gained reward points, which she used for vacations while Mom was still alive. My husband was the one who handled doctor visits, brought Mom to our home for dinner and did all of the necessary errands. Carol told me she would not care for Mom if her money ran out.

When Mom died, she left a small estate that took Carol over a year to distribute, and she kept a few thousand dollars in a separate account.

Carol recently an-nounced that she is going to have a memorial for Mom, and we would rent a nice cottage on a lake so we could scatter Mom’s ashes where she had enjoyed many summers. That’s fine.

But Carol proceeded to put a deposit down on a big cottage, made a list of everyone she wanted to attend and then informed my husband that we would have to get our own cottage at our own expense.

I have never seen my husband so angry and up-set. Once he had calmed down, I suggested he call Carol and tell her o�.

Instead, he said this is just her personality and forget about it.

My husband has always been the whipping boy for Carol. He tells me to find it in my heart to forgive, but I’m tired of forgiv-ing this type of cruel and selfish behavior. I refuse to go to this memorial, be-cause I view it as one last vacation on Mom’s dime. I told my husband to go without me, but I know I’ll resent it if he goes, and he’ll resent me if he stays. I really need some help dealing with this last slap in the face.

— Stunned Once Again

Dear Stunned: You are thinking of this as a favor for Carol, but it is really for your husband. He wants to attend the memorial and have your emotional support. By refusing, you are only hurting him.

Carol won’t care whether you are there or not. We agree that she is behaving terribly, but it serves no purpose to rile up your husband by emphasizing Carol’s mis-treatment and selfishness. It won’t change her. It will only make your husband more unhappy.

Please go with him and let him deal with Carol as he chooses.

Jumble Daily Bridge Club

At the American Contract Bridge League’s 2014 Fall Championships in Providence, Rhode Island, Ginny and Je� Schuett won the Senior Mixed Pairs for the second straight year. (The ACBL is staging more events for seniors. Because the membership’s median age has risen, the league upped the age for a “senior” to 60.)

The winners bid a good slam in to-day’s deal. Three spades and 3NT were artificial tries for slam. North’s 4NT was a Blackwood variation.

Je� Schuett won the second club with the king and drew trumps. One possible play was to take the top spades, planning to finesse with the jack of diamonds to get a spade discard if the queen didn’t fall.

DIAMOND RUFFS But declarer was confident of finding

that queen. The play proceeded: K-A of diamonds, diamond ru�, club ru� (East showed out), diamond ru�.

Schuett then had a count: West had

held seven clubs, three diamonds and one trump, so two spades. Banking on the four-to-two odds, declarer played East for the queen and made his slam.

Questions and comments: Email Stewart at [email protected]

Aries (March 21-April 19) ★★★★ You are likely to wake up with extra energy. You might be taken aback by others’ responsiveness. Tonight: Act as if there were no tomorrow!

Taurus (April 20-May 20) ★★★★ You will want to find out what is ail-ing a loved one. Understand that this person could have di�culty verbalizing what the issue is, as he or she might not even know what it is. Tonight: Create fun.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) ★★★★ You might be confused about which direction to head in. Return calls before you initiate a set of plans. What you hear could color your choices. Tonight: Full of fun.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)★★★★ You see a situation very di�erently from how the majority of people see it. You could have di�culty convincing others of your perceptions. Tonight: Pay bills first.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)★★★★★ You feel empowered and will need to act like it as well. Use your high energy to straighten out a problem with a key associate or partner. Tonight: As you like it.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)★★★ Reflect before making a choice or scheduling your day. You might feel as if you don’t want to deal with a contentious associ-ate. Try to look at the issue from a di�erent perspective. Tonight: Do something just for you.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)★★★★ Focus on your goals, but remain attentive to a friend who means a lot to you. Bringing this person into a project might be your solution. Tonight: Say “yes” to an o�er.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)★★★★ You might want to change directions and understand what is happening with someone whom you must answer to. To-night: In the limelight.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ★★★★ You will see events in a new light. You might feel motivated to go for what you want, yet others’ aggravation could present an obstacle. Tonight: Enjoy brainstorming with a friend who has a clear vision.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)★★★★ You’ll want some quality time with one person. You know what a di�erence those one-on-one encounters will make. Tonight: Set the mood for an important chat.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)★★★★ You might believe that your plans are set, but you quickly will find out otherwise. Unexpected developments open the door to change. Tonight: With favorite people.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) ★★★★ You’ll want to start a conversation, but you might find it di�cult. An unexpected situation will open up many possibilities for you. Be careful when dealing with finances. Tonight: Beam in more of what you want.

Horoscope

This year many opportunities open up that could change the quality of your life. Choosing which path you would like to follow might be diffi-cult. Time will be your friend. Use caution with money, as you seem to pull the wild card here. If you are single, you have far more magnetism than you realize. After mid-August, you will attract quite a few potential sweeties, and one of them could be perfect for you. If you are attached, the two of you are likely to make a big purchase this year. Make sure you don’t go overboard. You also might develop a hobby together. LEO always makes you smile.

Wife is tired of relative’s cruelty and selfishness

By Jacqueline Bigar King Features Syndicate

In 1793, the first president of the Republic of Texas, Sam Houston, was born near Lexington, Virginia.In 1836, the Republic of Texas formally declared its independence from Mexico.In 1865, Congress established the position of Naval Judge Advocate General.In 1877, Republican Rutherford B. Hayes was declared the winner of the 1876 presidential election over Democrat Samuel J. Tilden, even though Tilden had won the popular vote.In 1917, Puerto Ricans were granted U.S. citizenship as President Woodrow Wilson signed the Jones-Shafroth Act.In 1939, Roman Catholic Cardinal Eugenio Pacelli was elected pope on his 63rd birthday; he took the name Pius XII. The Massachusetts legislature voted to ratify the Bill of Rights, 147 years after the first 10 amendments to the U.S. Constitution had gone

into effect. (Georgia and Connecticut soon followed.)In 1940, the cartoon character Elmer Fudd made his debut in the Warner Bros. animated short “Elmer’s Candid Camera,” in which the title character finds himself pitted against a rascally rabbit that was a precursor to Bugs Bunny.In 1955, nine months before Rosa Parks’ famous act of defiance, Claudette Colvin, a black high school student in Montgomery, Alabama, was arrested after refusing to give up her seat on a public bus to a white passenger.In 1962, Wilt Chamberlain scored 100 points for the Philadelphia Warriors in a game against the New York Knicks, an NBA record that still stands. (Philadelphia won, 169-147.)In 1990, more than 6,000 drivers went on strike against Greyhound Lines Inc. (The company, later declaring an impasse in negotiations, fired the strikers.)

MY ANSWER

Reader should stop following the crowd

Q: I know I shouldn’t be this way, but whenever I get around my friends I begin swearing like they do and in general acting as if Jesus weren’t important to me — al-though he is. I wish I had more backbone. How can I stop acting like this?

— M.K.J.

A: In your heart, you know God doesn’t want you to act this way, not just because profanity is wrong, but also because you aren’t helping your friends find Christ. God’s will is for us to be “blameless and pure, children of God without fault... as you hold firmly to the word of life” (Philip-pians 2:15-16).

Have you ever asked yourself why you behave this way? One reason, I suspect, is because you want to be liked, and you’re afraid your friends will reject you if you don’t act like they do. You aren’t alone, of course; no one likes to be rejected. But this easily leads us astray, because it means

we’re always following the crowd — and the crowd is often wrong. Jesus warned us not to be like those who believed in him but refused to confess it openly, because “they loved human praise more than praise from God” (John 12:43).

What should you do? First, make sure of your commitment to Jesus Christ. Have you confessed your sins to him and asked him to come into your life as your lord and Savior? Don’t be satisfied with a vague faith, but give your life to Christ today. Remember: he gave his life for you; why do anything less in return?

Then take a public stand for Christ with your friends. Let them know you value their friendship, but that you now belong to Christ, and you value his friendship above all. Seek his approval, not the ap-proval of the crowd.

TODAY’S CRYPTOQUIP: WHEN THE FARM BOY REFUSED TO SLOP THE HOGS AS HE

WAS INSTRUCTED, HIS MOM YELLED “YOU’RE IN PIG TROUBLE!”


ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH You’ll have a lot of ground to cover with new, unexpected items popping up. You easily could spread yourself too thin. You might need to pay extra attention to a boss or loved one who dominates your daily life.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH You know how to deal with a loved one who seems intent on stirring up some controversy. However, understand that this type of be-havior could resurface. Friends surround you with advice.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH Stay close to home. There could be an unusual amount of activity bubbling up around you. Juggling the diferent forces in your life might be dependent on a partner’s goodwill, sense of humor and suggestions.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You could be in a situa-tion where you need to look at your alternatives. Pressure builds around communication as you attempt to deal with a changeable situation. Double-check meeting times and places.

Misunderstandings are likely.LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

HHH Tension surrounds your inances. It would be wise not to make any decisions in this highly pressured moment. You could feel as if a day-to-day matter has been blown out of proportion. Be one of the few who decides to re-main nonreactive.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You might want to handle a creative endeavor or a new relationship with care. Be aware of how little you know about the situation. Stay open-minded, and avoid making snap judgments.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HH You might wonder what is going on. Lie low, and try to steer clear of controlling people. Your sense of humor emerges when you walk into a similar situation with someone you consider to be profoundly logical.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Keep your eye on the big picture, even if you don’t agree with what is going on. You would be well-advised to keep your opinions to yourself for now. When things calm down, then you might be in the posi-tion to have this discussion.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Listen to a higher-up, as you aren’t likely to be able to avoid him or her. You might want to rethink your decisions involving this person. You have a lot going on around you that you’ll need to gain a dif-ferent perspective on.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH You’ll be taken aback by news that heads your way. You might need to make a call or clarify information. There could be some facts that are missing. Be sensitive and listen well. Ad-just your plans accordingly.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH Be aware of how much you can give to someone else. This person might be sub-tle about asking for what he or she wants. Be bold and clarify. You’ll need to keep communi-cation open. You don’t need to agree to anything right now, even if you feel pressured.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Before people and situations demand your atten-tion, ask yourself how you feel. If you feel tired or pressured, that could explain your recent lack of patience. Try not to get too wound up in today’s full moon.

By Judith Martin andNicholas Ivor MartinTribune Content Agency

Dear Miss Manners: My son is a polite, respectful and kind-hearted child. As my mother before me, we only use the terms “Yes, ma’am” and “No, ma’am” to much older ladies and gentlemen.

In my nephew’s home, the expectation is for their chil-dren to use the ma’am/sir for every person and for ev-ery possible scenario. They are charged a quarter every single time they do not.

I view the cousins as little robots who speak few words other than the constant “Yes, ma’am, no, sir,” etc. What is your view on this?

Gentle Reader: Robot-ic? Do they say “sir” and “ma’am” to the cat and dog? Is that the way they address their playmates?

Miss Manners suspects that the cousins are be-ing reared on pretty much

the same system that you taught your son, with the diference, perhaps, that you do not require him to address grown-up rela-tives that way. And she hopes that you do not give him the job of distin-guishing among older and younger grown-ups; ev-eryone looks old to a child.

But please control your nausea. Certain polite forms are best mastered in the automatic way you call robotic. It is always a great moment for parents when, after years of “Say ‘Thank you,’ dear” and “Do you mean, can you PLEASE have that?” the right words come out of the child’s mouth without his or her having to think about them.

And by the way, if there is any part of the country that sufers from an excess of etiquette, Miss Manners has not had the good for-tune to encounter it. For-tunately, she does often encounter polite individ-

uals everywhere, and she would not dream of trying to discourage them.

Dear Miss Manners: I had cosmetic surgery two weeks ago and have been out of social circulation. When questioned, my sis-ter answered that I had “a surgical procedure” and that I was ine.

Last night, an acquain-tance telephoned me to ask, “What kind of surgery did you have?” I was not prepared and gave more information than I in-tended. The acquaintance is not a discreet person, obviously. How could I have answered her with-out causing animosity or even more curiosity?

Gentle Reader: “It was very minor.” (Miss Manners assures you that this is not a lie: The medical deinition of major surgery is when a body cavity is opened.) “You’re a dear to worry about me, but I’m ine. Now tell me how you are.”

Last summer, the town of Collierville’s Public Ser-vice Department began its new curbside recycle col-lection program.

With the goal of reduc-ing cost, promoting posi-tive customer service and increasing recycling par-ticipation, the town con-verted from a privately contracted recycle collec-tion operation to a more eicient town employee operated recycle collec-tion program.

Based on the success of the new program, the Tennessee Recycling Co-alition named the Town of Collierville the “2014 Government Recycler of the Year.” Representatives from Collierville’s public service department at-tended the Tennessee Re-

cycling Coalition confer-ence to accept the award.

Before beginning the town-operated recycle collection program, about 50 percent of homes were recycling. However, with-in the irst four months of the delivery of the new 96-gallon recycle carts, residential participation increased to more than 72 percent. By bringing the service in house, residents noticed greatly improved, increased customer partic-ipation and fewer missed collections.

“I appreciate the op-portunity to highlight our department’s commitment to providing our residents a waste collection program that focuses on environ-mentally responsibility and excellence in service,” said public services opera-tions assistant John Fox.

In early February, 64 women spent a picturesque weekend at Pinecrest Conference Center in La-Grange, Tenn., where they studied, shared, laughed, sang and prayed together at an annual retreat hosted by Germantown United Methodist Church.

Participation in this annual retreat reaches across generations. This year, seven generations of women ages 22-84 were in attendance, including eight mother/daughter or mother/daughter-in-law pairs.

“One of the great things about our retreat was get-ting to know all the lovely and interesting women and engage in thoughtful and meaningful conver-

sations,” said Mary Groh, director of adult education and membership. “It was just a terriic way to spend quality time together.”

Keynote speaker and

ministry staff member Yolanda Toney led ses-sions on “Courageous Women, Praying Women and Women of Hope.” Participants learned about

strong female role models in the Bible such as Debo-rah, leader of the Israelite troops, Esther, who over-came challenges to save her people from death, and Mary Magdalene, the foremost witness to Jesus’ death and the empty tomb.

Outside of group stud-ies, the women enjoyed hiking, reading, talking and relaxing in the natu-ral setting. The closing worship service was held in the beautiful Pinecrest Chapel, surrounded by loor-to-ceiling glass that framed the wonder of cre-ation all around.

“The retreat was a spe-cial ‘moment in time’ for us all, giving us a feeling of family, deepening our rela-tionships with each other, with God, and with our church family,” said Groh.
