Germantown Commu-nity Theatre is joining forces with playwright Ag-atha Christie for its newest production “Go Back for Murder.”

The play will run Oct. 24-Nov. 9.

As the witnesses to a murder, the play will re-turn to the scene of the crime 20 years later.

Viewers will learn who will emerge as the true culprit as the victim’s daughter is determined to ind out the truth.

Directed by Ryan Kath-man, the play takes audi-

ences back in time to the swinging 1960s.

The cast includes Emily Burnett, Christopher Tra-cy, Chase Ring, Lesley Lee Lansky and Louise Levin. Costumes are designed by GCT veteran, Robin Ow-ens.

This production marks the irst show in the newly renovated theater space.

The original stage has been completely removed and replaced with custom-izable platforms.

Show times are 7:30 p.m. on Thursdays, 8 p.m. on Friday and Saturdays and 2:30 p.m. on Sundays. Tickets are $21 and $15 for seniors and students. Chil-dren 12 and under are $10.

When a nagging sinus problem sent her to the doctor’s oice last summer, Tara Peeper couldn’t

have known she faced a far graver threat that would soon place her at the forefront of experimental medicine.

A computer tomography (CT) scan indicated her sinuses were clear, but the results weren’t entirely positive. Deep in the base of her brain, the scan showed, was an aneurysm.

The aneurysm, a bulging weak spot in the wall of an artery, was small but dan-

gerous because of its location and the wide “neck” of the bulge.

“Come to ind out, it was in the worst place and was irregularly shaped ...,” said Peeper, 43, a Collierville schoolteacher. “The placement and shape — it would’ve killed me.”

The peculiarities of her case made Peeper a poor candidate for conventional treatment methods, including surgery to cut through the skull and clip the aneu-rysm and halt the blood low into it. But she was the perfect choice for an experi-mental device that allows for a noninva-sive method to treat the aneurysm.

Known as the WEB Aneurysm Embolization System, it’s like a tiny basket — a precisely engineered, woven sphere of metal — that’s placed at the tip of a catheter and inserted into the femoral artery in the groin area. Once the catheter has been directed to the aneurysm, the basket springs open across the neck of the bulge, slowing and eventually stopping the low of blood into it.

On a Tuesday in August, Peeper and two other patients at Method-ist University Hospital in Memphis became the irst people in the U.S. to undergo the procedure with the device. Although her aneurysm bled for several minutes during the procedure, creating some complications, she spent only two nights in the hospital and was back at work teaching fourth-graders

at Crosswind Elementary about a week and a half later.

“It was noninvasive — I didn’t even have stitches,” Peeper said.

She and the two other patients helped launch an international trial in which the WEB system will be tested on about 140 patients at Methodist and two dozen other centers in North America and Eu-rope. Dr. Adam Arthur, director of vascular neurosurgery at Method-ist, who performed the procedure on Peeper, is the principal investi-gator for the trial. Methodist is the lead center.

Arthur said the system ofers advantages to other methods of treating aneurysms. It’s less costly and invasive than surgery, and the other conventional option, a coil device placed by a catheter, isn’t suited to wide-necked aneurysms such as Peeper’s. And unlike other options, she wasn’t required to go on blood-thinning medication.

“For Ms. Peeper and others, it’s

a real jump forward,” Arthur said.Although it was invented in the

U.S. and is manufactured in Cali-fornia, the WEB device has been used more extensively in Europe, where regulatory processes aren’t as rigorous.

Brain aneurysms present a spe-cial challenge, Arthur said, be-cause arteries there are smaller and softer. In addition, the brain is loating in spinal luid. “Inside the skull, we can’t get any pressure on a bleeding point,” he said.

An estimated 5 percent of the population is believed to have brain aneurysms, according to the National Institutes of Health, but only a small number of the aneurysms will cause symptoms or rupture. “Most of them never bleed. The problem is, once they bleed, you’re already behind the eight-ball,” Arthur said, citing estimates that about 25 percent of patients quickly die or become disabled after a rupture.

That’s why Peeper, a devout Christian, considers herself blessed. Her faith, along with sup-port from friends, family and co-workers, carried her, she said.

“God used the WEB device and Dr. Arthur to save my life,” Peeper said.

She and her husband, Cade, have three kids — two boys and a girl — aged 15 through 20. For all its dangers, the experience with the aneurysm brought the family closer together, Peeper said.

“It changes you forever. I was very open with my kids about the possibility of my death.”

She was most worried about possibly surviving but being de-bilitated. “If I die I know where I’m going. I think I was almost more afraid of not dying,” Peeper said.

She now wants to see the WEB device become available to others with aneurysms. “My irst goal was survival. Now, my goal is for this to save other people’s lives.”

Briana Dunbar tries to keep feminine hygiene kits from sliding out of her arms as they are counted. They contain reus-able sanitary pads, soap, wash cloths and underwear. The kits will be sent to Days for Girl International, for girls in countries where such items are not readily available.

By Thomas Bailey [email protected]

Impoverished girls in devel-oping countries can miss up to two months of school a year because they lack access to hy-giene products.

Girls Inc. of Memphis this week is responding as part of International Day of the Girl, which was last Saturday.

By last Wednesday, about 75 girls and another 25 volunteers inished making by hand 100 washable and reusable feminine pads.

Girls Inc. will ship the sani-tary absorbent cloths to Days for Girls International, whose mission is to provide reusable hygiene pads to girls in devel-oping countries.

“Girls in the Third World countries don’t have as much as we can have,” 15-year-old Ayra Burney said last Wednesday as she cut cotton fabric at the Girls Inc. Lucille DeVore Tucker Cen-ter in Uptown.

“So we’re making sanitary napkins for them out of difer-ent fabrics, layering them and sewing them up,” the Ridgeway High 10th-grader said.

“It makes me feel grateful for what I have,” she said. “But also I feel good because I can help someone else who doesn’t have as much.”

Girls in developing nations often miss school or work dur-ing their menstrual periods, and improvise sanitary pads by us-

ing everything from leaves to mattress stuing to corn husks.

“It turns out this issue is a surprising but instrumental key to social change for women all over the world,” states the Days for Girls website. “The poverty cycle can be broken when girls stay in school.’’

Girls Inc. of Memphis works with more than 3,000 girls a year at its two centers and through its outreach programs. Its mission is to inspire girls to be “strong, smart and bold.”

“The reality for girls is once a month we have our cycle,’’ said Lisa Moore, president and chief executive oicer of the Memphis organization. “And here we can hop up to CVS, Walgreens or Kroger and keep going to school and we don’t miss a beat.

“But a lot of girls around the world don’t have access to that.”

Girls Inc. packed the cloth pads with a kit that also includes soap bars, underwear and wash cloths.

There’s a reason why the Memphis girls aren’t seeking money or donations for com-mercial, disposable hygiene products to ship to developing countries.

“Because of the trash,” said Dora Brown-Harris, training and curriculum coordinator for Girls Inc. of Memphis. “They don’t have a lot of places to dis-pose of trash.”

Waste disposal is such an issue that Girls Inc. has been asked not to send soap in com-mercial wrapping like it did last year.

An anti-bullying policy in-tended to ensure a “healthy and safe work environment” for Collierville employees won unanimous approval Monday night from the town’s Board of Mayor and Aldermen.

The board approved without comment the four-page policy, which will be added to the Per-sonnel Policies and Procedures Manual governing the approxi-mately 450 people on the town’s payroll.

Director of Human Re-sources Jay Jefries told board members that Collierville al-ready had policies prohibiting various types of harassment, including sexual. But the dei-nition of harassment has been expanded in recent years to in-

clude bullying, which was not covered in the town’s existing personnel policies, he said.

The policy deines bullying as “behavior that demeans, in-timidates or humiliates either individuals or a group.” It can occur as a persistent pattern of behavior or as a single incident.

There are ive types of bul-lying outlined in the policy: verbal, physical, manipulating the work environment, psycho-logical and “mobbing,” which is deined as bullying carried

out by a group against an in-dividual.

“It is important to under-stand there is a difference between friendly banter ex-changed by longtime work colleagues and comments that are meant to be, or are taken as, demeaning,” the policy states.

The policy includes require-ments for reporting bullying and says the consequence for the behavior is discipline “up to and including termination.”

Jefries said that the policy

was not prompted by any re-cent incident or problem. “Just trying to be proactive,” he said.

Jefries said he’s not aware of any other municipalities in the area that have adopted anti-bullying policies.

Mayor Stan Joyner said after the meeting the policy repre-sents “due diligence” by the town to protect employees. “It does show that the town is very concerned about our employ-ees, the safety of our employ-ees...,” Joyner added.

The Germantown Board of Mayor and Aldermen granted final approval Monday night to a long-discussed development proposal enhancing the western entrance to the suburb.

Aldermen adopted the Western Gateway plan — a spinof of the Smart Growth concept the city is attempting to implement in the central business dis-trict — by a 3-1 vote with Alderman John Drinnon dissenting. Alderman Greg Marcom recused himself.

The Western Gateway concept is geared to help with economic growth and vitality. Outside the central business district, most of Germantown’s businesses are clustered at city borders.

The most vocal oppo-nents were residents of the Nottoway subdivision on the south side of Poplar east of the zoning district. During the second reading and public hearing on Sept. 22, the neighborhood’s at-torney said the residents agreed to a compromise that made the rezoning more palatable for the resi-dents. That included a 150-foot bufer from Nottoway where buildings could not exceed three stories.

The buildings can in-crease in height as they are developed away from the neighborhood, reach-ing as tall as 10 stories. City oicials said there are no speciic plans for the area as developers waited for the rezoning approval so they would know the regu-lations. The rezoning will allow existing businesses in the region to remain.

The overall gateway plan covers 58 acres on the suburb’s western door-step in the Poplar corridor, including the old Kirby Farms property between Poplar and Poplar Pike.

The board also ap-proved the irst of 12 pay-ments for settlement of the federal lawsuit regarding municipal schools. Ger-mantown will pay $355,453 annually for its share of the settlement that resulted in ive campuses transferring from Shelby County to the suburb’s school system.

Listen to Russ Garner talk about the numbers, and it’s hard to understand at first blush why he would want to take on another golf course.

By his own estimates, Garner says business at the typical golf operation is down 25 to 40 percent from the peak years of 1998-2001. Profit margins, once in the 20 to 25 percent range, are now closer to 10 to 15 percent.

“A lot of people aren’t re-tiring with as much (time and money) as they thought they’d have, so it’s just not what everybody thought would happen,” says Gar-ner, long associated with Windyke Country Club in southeast Memphis and owner there since 2011 with his wife, Jenny. “Some courses around here started closing about three years ago, but there are still more courses than demand.”

So, given the less-than-rosy scenario, why would the Garners look south of the state line and buy Plan-tation Golf Course in Olive Branch?

“This is the business we’re in,” responds Gar-ner. “We decided if we’re going to be here, we might as well try to expand. We looked at courses and thought we’d want some-thing in close enough proximity (to Windyke and the Garners’ Germantown home) so that we could get some synergy. Plantation made a lot of sense.”

The Garners’ Southern Golf Co. LLC bought the 188-acre Plantation site about two months ago from Cherokee Valley Golf Club for an undisclosed price. The property was appraised for tax purposes at about $2 million.

Since then, Garner has assembled a staff and developed a plan of ac-tion that he hopes will help Plantation succeed in today’s tough business climate for the sport. Ini-tial work has included a fresh paint job for the 5,000-square-foot club-house, upgrading some landscaping and build-ing an innovative bridge — a $15,000 to $20,000 in-house project using a tractor-trailer bed as a foundation — to help re-solve a drainage problem between the course and the surrounding residen-tial community.

“Structurally, it’s a sound golf course and clubhouse,” Garner said, “but it opened in the early 1990s and just needs some updating.”

Next up is work on the bunkers, some of which are being reshaped and some that will be filled in.

Maintaining a good re-lationship with residential neighbors was important, so Garner said one of the first actions after buying the course was meeting with the homeowners as-sociation.

“There was substantial interaction with the com-

munity originally,” Garner said, “but the course and the neighborhood have sort of gone their own ways since. That said, there’s no way to deny a connection between the

golf course and the com-munity. When you drive through the community, you see the golf course all around, so we want a good relationship with the neighborhood.”

Second graders at St. George’s Inde-pendent School are gaining entrepre-neurial skills and putting engineer-ing and design theories to work in the school’s new Innovation and Science Lab as they create products to sell at an upcoming fair.

Scarborough Fair will be put on by Calvary Episcopal Church and the Church of the Annunciation on Sun-day with the goal of raising awareness and donations for the Community of St. Therese of Lisieux, a local residential program for women who have survived abuse, life on the streets and prostitution.

Calvary Episcopal Church and the

Church of the Annunciation partnered in May 2014 to form Friends of Thistle Farms, an initiative that involves an herb garden and bee keeping. They plan to create products using the herbs and honey to support the Community of St. Therese of Lisieux. Ashley Cochran, a second grade teacher at St. George’s, heard about Friends of Thistle Farms and knew it was the perfect complement to the second grade insect unit.

As part of the launch of the school’s newest facility — a state-of-the-art In-novation Lab that is modeled on labs found at top universities across the country — the curricular unit entailed students engaging with a design thinking process in the same way that engineers and marketers at global companies go about bringing products to market.

The overall unit involved learning experiences in biology, engineering processes, and entrepreneurial and mar-keting plans, not to mention community service.

“We were studying insects and want-

ed to ind a way to incorporate that into giving back to the community,” Cochran said. “The work at Thistle Farms had all the elements we were looking for.”

The second graders have created sev-eral products from honey that they plan to sell at the Scarborough Fair, including honey sticks, lip balm, and honey suck-ers. The children’s excitement over the project is evident.

“I love that our ministry, which serves people with serious challenges, could also provide an opportunity for second graders to do something that makes a diference in other people’s lives,” stat-ed Reverend Eyleen Farmer of Calvary Episcopal Church. “The children were excited and very curious, and they want-ed to do something to help.”

The Scarborough Fair will be held on Sunday from 4-6 p.m. at 3342 Waynoka Ave. For more information, visit calva-rymemphis.com.

Family: Husband, Jef, children, Amanda, 31, (husband, Luke, three children, Kate, Preston, and Sam) Megan, 28, (husband, Brett. Baby on the way!) Blake and Jake.

Q What do you like most about your job and why?

A I don’t just like my job, I love it! I get to walk in and see a room

full of eager, precious children every single day who are excited about life and learning. To contin-ue to see life through the eyes of a child is a blessing. I also have the most hard-working, compassionate colleagues in the whole wide world.

Q Who is your hero and why?

A My husband, Jef, is my hero. He is everything I am not and

has calmed many a storm for me! My sons are awesome men because of him.

Q What did you want to be when you grew up?

A A wife and mother!

Q What are some of you short term and long term goals?

A My short term goal is to make certain our community is aware

of the wonderful programs avail-able at GES as an optional school with an International Program. This includes French instruction for all students. Long term, I’d love to brush up on the French I learned at GHS, visit France and bring home croissants (and knowledge) for my students!

Q What made you want to become a teacher?

A I am passionate about children! I originally was not in the teach-

ing ield. Having four children, serving as a foster parent, and hosting a foreign exchange student, there really wasn’t another ield that captured my heart and mind like teaching has.

Q What do you think students need most to succeed?

A I strongly feel that students need to feel a sense of belong-

ing and worth to become success-ful in the school environment, as well as, in our community. Once a person knows they are valued, then they can begin to build skills necessary to be successful citizens, whether in our school or in the world around them.

Q What is you favorite movie/book/song?

A My favorite movie is “Hook,” with Robin Williams. Book:

“The Giving Tree” by Shel Sil-verstein, and song, “Remem-ber When” by Alan Jackson.

Q Who has inspired you the most?

A I have had incredible women in my life that not only believed

in me, but also loved me uncondi-tionally and taught me so many life lessons. My mama, my grandmoth-er, who was also a teacher, both of my daughters and now my grand-daughter, Kate, inspire me still!

Q If you had to spend a year on an island by yourself what five

things would you take with you?

TEACHER SPOTLIGHT

Bousson excited to teach everyday

Students create items to sell at Scarborough Fair

By Jennifer CaseySpecial to The Weekly

A historic, special delivery was made Oct. 1 to Collierville Middle School from the Collier-ville Burch Library.

A box of requested books was delivered by Blue Sky Courier Service to the school’s library, the irst delivery of many more. The courier service between the Collierville Burch Library and Collierville Schools gives educators the opportunity to request books for a curriculum or educational research that their particular school library may not have available. With a weekly delivery in place, the ex-changing of learning materials is vast, eicient and dependable.

“This service expands the ofering of material for both teachers and students,” said Ann Petersen, Collierville Mid-dle School librarian. “Teachers may need to order 30 books for a class, and the Collierville Li-brary has the resources to pro-vide these requests.”

Teachers in Collierville Schools have an “Educator Card” which gives them ac-

cess to an online catalog to requests materials. The books are then delivered directly to the school’s library. This ser-vice only takes place during the school year and limited to class curriculum titles or educational research.

“We have a special educa-tion class that visits the library every Friday,” said Petersen. “Sometimes we don’t have many appropriate books on our shelves for their class, since this is a middle school. The courier service gives us an opportuni-ty to access more materials for their educational needs.”

The irst delivery of books had a few picked out by Petersen for the special education class, which she plans to read during their visit to the school library.

Burch Library director Dean-na Britton and Gail Tucci, head of circulation, were in atten-dance for this special delivery along with Dr. Andre Craford, the pre K-5 supervisor in the department of curriculum and accountability with Collierville Schools. Craford stated, “This is all about the expansion of the schools’ collections and access

to all those materials. Our li-brarians were instrumental in getting this program up and of the ground.”

The witnesses for the irst delivery were all in agreement that the courier service was something Collierville’s librar-ians and educators have wanted

for many years. “We have the Collierville Library working with the Collierville Schools,” said Petersen. “This partner-ship can happen now that we are all uniied in Collierville.”

An annual event at St. George’s Independent School brings students from both the Germantown and the Memphis campuses together to enjoy a fall activity called “Scarecrow Day.” Divided into groups, the irst graders chose clothing, wigs, hats and accessories to decorate their pumpkin-headed scarecrows and display them for all to see. The students learn teamwork and creativity as they build their scarecrows together.

Farmington APEX students Eric Xie, Sam Phan and their

classmates put their creative problem-solving skills to the test in a Computer Explorers

Lego Robotics class. Students worked in pairs to construct

ferris wheels out of Legos. Once the ferris wheels were inished, the students used

laptops to write programs that made the ferris wheels do diferent things, such as

spinning at diferent speeds, stopping to let passengers on

and even playing music.

Every year students are given a variety of incen-tives to raise money for

Tara Oaks Elementary. This year, fundraiser organizers

used creative tactics to get students motivated. Classes

that met their goal were rewarded with a water can-

non and balloon ight with the assistant principals.

Teachers joined the fun by spraying students with a big

blast of water. Fifth-grade teacher, Tracy James makes

a big splash with students.

Crosswind Elementary School held a Student Council swearing in ceremony at the Collierville Town Hall. Thirty-eight ifth graders were sworn in to the council by Mayor Stan Joyner and Supt. John Aitken. Oicers for the year were also sworn in.

Dayshun Holliday, Audrey Bouche, Camilla Arredondo, Abigail Haider, Caleb Skinner, Jacob Myers and other students at Tara Oaks collected money for WREG Channel 3 meteorologist Jim Jaggers’ Go Jim Go! campaign.

Houston Band rocked all night for a fundraiser. Students pledge to rock all night while donors sent in inancial support of the band. During the night, students gathered in groups, visited, played cards and sang ka-raoke. By morning, almost everyone had been awake 26 hours.

Losing our three namesake schools under current city hallleadership has proven to be a mess. Because our elected officialsgave up on getting Germantown Elementary when it was offered,we now have a situation where that school is underutilized andRiverdale is overcrowded. And with too many students in theGermantown Municipal Schools, the city may have to spend$30 million on a new school.

George Brogdon has a plan to work with other officials – city,county, state and federal – to make our municipal schools betterand to get our namesake schools back for the good of all ofGermantown. He shares your concerns about the negative impactlosing Germantown Elementary, Germantown Middle andGermantown High is having on the entire city.

For families, for seniors, for everyone, it’s time to get seriousabout all our schools. It’s time to elect George Brogdon – theserious choice for mayor.

“The Good Lie,” a movie that stars Reese Witherspoon as a Kansas City job counselor working with a trio of Sudanese refugees, was inspired by recent and in large part tragic African history. But it’s also a story with very personal meaning for pro-ducer Molly Smith and other Memphians.

Smith, the daughter of FedEx founder Frederick W. Smith, was drawn to the subject matter in part because her family helped sponsor a “Lost Boy” of Sudan, Joseph Atem, now an engineer who lives in Cordova.

Atem, whose village was de-stroyed by soldiers in 1988, was undereducated and penniless when he arrived here in 2001 as one of about 4,000 so-called “Lost Boys” who were resettled in the U.S. after being displaced or orphaned by the civil war in their homeland.

Atem earned a bachelor’s de-gree in mechanical engineering and a master’s degree in engi-neering management at Chris-tian Brothers University, and he’s now a power plant engineer at FedEx. But as shown in “The Good Lie,” the transformation from stranger in a strange land to proud American citizen was challenging.

At worst, Atem said, he and the other “Lost Boys” placed in a South Memphis apartment

complex were intimidated and threatened with guns by neighbors who wanted money from these unusual newcomers with foreign accents. “America is a great country, but if you had asked me that question in 2001, I would have said, ‘No,’” said Atem, 34. “Memphis was not easy to adjust to. We had so much culture shock. Some people were so welcoming, and some were not.”

A Warner Bros. release, “The Good Lie” — now in its second week in Memphis area theaters — begins in Africa in the 1980s and follows a group of Sudanese children as they dodge animal and human predators on an epic trek to the teeming Kakuma ref-ugee camp in Kenya. (This is the camp where Atem lived before coming to Memphis.)

The film’s focus eventually narrows to a trio of young-adult Sudanese refugees, played by Ar-nold Oceng, a British-Ugandan professional actor, and Ger Dua-ny and Emmanuel Jal, both real-life “Lost Boys” who served as forcibly recruited child soldiers in the Sudanese conflict before escaping to freedom.

The movie’s second half de-picts the experiences of these refugees in Kansas City, where Witherspoon’s job counselor is among the citizens who come to admire the Africans’ resilience and determination.

“It’s a very personal story for me, and a story I knew well be-cause of my relationship and my

family’s relationship with Joseph Atem,” said Smith, 33. “He was a sort of family member, and he was one of the first people I called when we decided to make the movie because I wanted to be sure it was accurate and told with integrity.”

Atem’s connection to the Smith family was initiated, more or less, by Stacey Hydrick, 44, one of Molly’s older sisters and the second-oldest of the 10 Smith children.

Hydrick was introduced to Atem and other Sudanese refu-gees during a meeting at the

home of her friend, Cindy Hailey, an Associated Catholic Charities volunteer.

“They were so young, and you hear their stories, and it touches you, especially if you’re a mom,” said Hydrick, who at the time of the meeting was pregnant with her fifth child (she now has eight). “And you hear these sto-ries about these kids who liter-ally fled their villages at 8, 9, 10 years old — and they grow up in these horrid circumstances and they come here and somehow they’re the sweetest people you would ever meet. So you really

want to help them.”Steve Moses, director of

World Relief Memphis, which recently replaced Associated Catholic Charities as the local agency in charge of resettling refugees, said Memphis is home to about 500 Sudanese people. (In comparison, close to 5,000 Vietnamese live here, to cite a more well-known refugee popu-lation.)

Attempts to turn Margaret Nagle’s screenplay into a movie were stymied until it came to the attention of Black Label Media, a new production company found-ed by Molly Smith and partners Trent and Thad Luckinbill, Oklahoma twin brothers and actors-producers Smith met in Los Angeles some six years ago.

Smith’s interest in the story led to a deal with Imagine En-tertainment, the Ron Howard-Brian Grazer company that held the rights to the script, and with such other partners as Alcon Entertainment, the company financed by Frederick W. Smith.

Molly Smith was a producer of one of Alcon’s biggest hits, the Memphis-set “The Blind Side” (2009), but she said her new company, Black Label, gives her a chance to prove that “something with a small scope can still be commercial and entertaining.”

Ridgeway coach Duron Sutton described his sec-ond-ranked Roadrunners’ 31-0 win at Collierville last Friday this way: “We really didn’t do anything special,” he said. Well, ac-tually one thing.

On a night when Earl Harrison racked up 122 rushing yards and three touchdowns — two by ground, one by air, it was the Roadrunner defense that racked up its first shutout of the season.

“Those guys have been working hard to get a shut-out, and they stepped up and got it tonight,” Sutton said of a unit that held Col-lierville to 114 total yards, stopped them twice inside their 30 and got intercep-tions from Joseph Newber-ry and Nick Gordon.

Ridgeway (6-1, 4-0) knocked Collierville (5-2,

3-1) out of a three-way log-jam atop District 15-AAA and will deal with the other co-leader, Houston, in its next game.

Star turn: Harrison scored on runs of 18 yards in the irst quarter and ive yards late in the game. Both came on runs to the right side, the calling card of the Ridgeway ofense.

“I trusted my team and my line, and they came through when I needed it,” said Harrison, who has committed to Arkan-sas State.

He also scored on a pretty 37-yard bootleg

swing pass to the left side from Braxton Conard (7-of-18, 145 yards, two TDs, one interception) midway through the third quarter.

Dragons coach Mike O’Neill marveled at the versatility of what looks like a very basic Ridgeway ofense. “They run one for-mation, I-right. But they have so many weapons and do so many diferent things of it,” he said.

Turning point: With the game scoreless in the irst quarter, Collierville’s Aus-tin Hall got a pick and re-turned it to the Ridgeway 40. The Dragons got the

ball inside the 30 but stalled and didn’t get that close again until late in the game.

“We’re still struggling to ind an identity,” said O’Neill, whose injury-rid-dled squad alternated be-tween sophomore Parker Moss and freshman Gar-rett Booth at quarterback (the pair went 7-of-19 for 38 yards and two inter-ceptions).

“We’ve got to ind a way to extend drives. Our de-fense just got worn out.”

What’s next: Ridgeway travels to play at unbeaten Houston. Collierville is home against Munford.

There were no brilliant strategic reasons for Hous-ton’s victory over Collier-ville in the 15-AAA vol-leyball championship last Thursday.

Nor were their any ire-and-brimstone motiva-tional speeches. Mustangs coach Becky Pendleton said the key was simple.

“We just had more fun than they did,” she said. “When you have fun, you win and when you win you have fun and it just (goes) like a cycle. Of course it can go the other way too.”

Although her team has had its ups and downs this year, everyone was all smiles after defeating the visiting Dragons for their fourth tournament cham-pionship in a row.

Tournament most valu-able player Krysta Med-earis put down 28 kills and regular-season MVP Olivia Novotny added 15 as the Mustangs wore down the Dragons, 25-20, 25-17, 25-10.

Collierville had to battle just to make the champion-ship match, ighting back from a 2-1 deicit before eliminating Germantown.

“That whole match was kind of a microcosm of how our season’s gone,” said Dragons coach Kenny Gass. “We’re very talented, but we’re still learning to have the mental toughness to inish of teams.

“But I was very proud of the way we played against Houston.”

Tuesday night Houston added the Region 8-AAA title, again defeating Col-lierville. Both schools advanced to Thursday’s sectionals.

The most popular indi-vidual at Memphis Tiger basketball media day?

Easy, Lamar Chance.He’s the sports informa-

tion guy. Everyone had im-portant questions for him.

Such as: “Which one is Trahson Burrell?”

And: “Over there, is that Avery Woodson?”

And: “That’s not Chris Hawkins, is it? I thought he’d be taller than that.”

“It feels like a new team,” said Nick King. “I think we can be even bet-ter than last year.”

Yeah, we’ll check back with you in March on that. But if you like new, this is the Memphis team for you. There’s new stuf every-where you look.

There’s a new assistant coach (Keelon Lawson). There’s a new emphasis on ofense (post play). There’s a new strength coach (Eva-rist Akujobi) with fancy new equipment he calls “weights.”

There’s a new site for the conference tourna-

ment (Hartford, Conn.). There are new, reduced expectations (no pre-season Top 25). And there are new players at every position on the court. In-deed, there are nine play-ers who didn’t get a min-ute of time last year who could be rotation regulars. That’s right, nine! The four kings have given way to the nine question marks.

There’s Kedren John-son, the point guard transfer from Vanderbilt, the one who likes music even more than hoops. There’s Calvin Godfrey, the big man transfer from Southern and Iowa State, who says things like “My motor runs all day.”

There’s Pookie Powell

(with the big hair) and Chris Hawkins (with the broad shoulders) and D’Marnier Cunningham (the really little guy) and Markel Crawford (from Memphis) and Avery Woodson (the shooter) and Trahson Burrell (ev-eryone says his body re-sembles Will Barton’s) and Dominic Magee (the freshman from Louisiana).

“We are very, very young and we are very, very inexperienced,” said coach Josh Pastner. “It’s going to be a challenge, certainly.”

It may be a particularly telling season for Pastner, after the meltdown at the end of last season. Does he have the ability to knit a team out of a collection of disparate parts?

When we last saw the Tigers, they were getting blown out of the building by Connecticut and Vir-ginia. I was one of many who suggested Pastner could use some experi-enced help on the bench.

That went out the win-dow when the opportu-nity arose to hire Keelon Lawson and secure sons Dedric and K.J.

So now it’s all up to Pastner, which is what he wanted anyway, to show he can forge a cohesive team out of the gifted play-ers he recruits.

“Chemistry is going to be important,” said King. “I think we all know that. It is going to be a lot difer-ent than last year.”

Ahhh, last year. The subject came up a lot at Monday’s event. And not in the most complimen-tary of ways.

When Pastner was asked how this team

will be different from last year’s team, he said, “They’re going to do their job, what’s being asked of them.”

When Goodwin was asked why this year’s team already seems closer than last year’s team, he said, “You got players like, no ofense to Joe Jackson, you got players like Kedren, who came in, he doesn’t know anybody, but still, you look at him, he’s got a smile on his face, he’s wel-coming everybody, he’s more, you know, more open to meeting new peo-ple. Just the diferent new personalities we do have are welcoming person-alities that can make us

closer as a team.”So, no ofense to Joe,

but last year’s team wasn’t welcoming? It’s an inter-esting theory that may contain some truth, but it feels like a familiar theme.

The incoming team al-ways has better chemistry until it loses some games. At which point, everyone inds out what the chem-istry is really like. For too many years, it has not been what it should.

So now there is new hope, along with every-thing else. New hope that the nine new guys will forge a real bond. New hope that the quotes from this particular media day aren’t just words.

By Jason [email protected]

901-529-5804

It was a word likely re-peated 100 times Mon-day during the Univer-sity of Memphis men’s basketball Media Day.

“Our chemistry is a lot bet-ter than I think it was last year,” sophomore forward Austin Nichols said.

“I think our chemistry is picking up good,” sophomore guard Pookie Powell said.

“This year, I think with maybe not as much talent (as last year), you’ve got to pick up the chemistry,” sophomore forward Jake McDowell said.

So this chemistry thing has to be important, right? Even coach Josh Pastner mentioned in his opening statement Mon-day how good the Tigers’ chemistry has been through ive practices. No, Memphis hasn’t faced any adversity yet, Pastner said. That’s when its chemistry and fortitude will be tested. But for a team with seven new scholarship play-ers, developing and maintain-ing good team chemistry is clearly a major focus with the program looking to take the next step by advancing past the irst weekend of the NCAA tournament.

But what does good chem-istry look like and does it actually translate into more wins? Is it less bickering among players behind the scenes? Is it fewer egos? Or is it a uniform willingness to ill whatever role is asked, even if it means the teammate beside you gets more of the spotlight?

“It’s just practicing every day and getting to know each other better out there on the court. It just takes time,” said Powell, who this summer ap-peared to be in line to start at point guard this season be-fore Memphis added Vander-bilt transfer Kedren Johnson in August. Powell said he’s content with whatever role he’s assigned, but will that re-main the case throughout the course of the season?

“I’m just gonna keep com-ing in here and working hard; doing what I gotta do and what coach asks me,” he said. “(Johnson is) a solid player. Very experienced. He knows what he’s doing out there. You can tell he’s been playing col-lege ball for two years.”

Memphis was saying all the right things when asked about chemistry at last year’s Media Day, too. Could four senior guards who all had NBA as-pirations coexist? Absolutely,

they answered. Yet there were times last season when the group splintered and played as individuals.

“Nothing against the guys last year, but I think our chem-istry will deinitely be a key this year,” Nichols said. “I think with this year’s team, everyone is two feet in. Last year, at some points we were two feet in. But not the whole year. So, like I said, chemistry will be a key for us and we all have to stay two feet in.”

With just two returning starters in Nichols and junior forward Shaq Goodwin, it could be December or Janu-ary before these new-look Tigers can blend comfort-ably into their roles. Most

preseason publications have Memphis unranked because of the uncertainty surround-ing its backcourt, which other than Johnson doesn’t include a player with Division 1 expe-rience.

“It’s gonna be tough. We’re going to go through chal-lenges and stuf as a team,” junior guard/forward Trahson Burrell said. “But I feel like as of right now we’re coming to-gether because we’ve got juco guys and all diferent kind of freshmen. So it’s gonna be tough at the beginning I feel, but I feel like we’re gonna get it together because we all want the same goal. So we gotta come together or it won’t hap-pen.”

Food


By Michael LollarSpecial to The Commercial Appeal

Jennifer Chandler treats chicken like a painter treats a palette. “With such a neutral lavor,

it can be paired with myriad ingredients and cooked a multitude of ways to create an ini-nite number of diferent dishes,” she says.

Chandler, widely known as author of a series of specialty cook-books including “Sim-ply Salads,” “Simply Suppers” and “Simply Grilling,” is branch-ing out with her new volume, “The Southern Pantry Cookbook,” into the regional foods, including chicken, that remind us of our grand-mothers and the foods that turned the kitchen into the favorite hang-out of their homes.

Chandler’s grand-mothers were from New Orleans and Atmore, Ala., near Mobile. From Creole to “down-home” dishes, Chandler’s favorite foods became a melt-ing pot of the South. The chicken recipes alone could justify this book, but Chandler also makes sure that users of the book are well pre-pared by outlining the necessary ingredients of the Southern pantry.

A well-stocked pantry doesn’t mean an exotic array — just the basic foods and tools to whip up a batch of anything from jambalaya or shrimp Cre-ole to tamale pie or pork ten-derloin. Yes, the book includes enough beef, pork and seafood entrées to turn it into a well-rounded basic cookbook com-plete with side dishes, salads and desserts.

There are too many sug-gested pantry items to list here, including items from the shelf, the refrigerator and the freezer. And there are no real surprises, just a good reminder to keep your grocery list up to date so that when you reach into the pantry you can come out with a variety of spices, nuts and condiments or, from the re-frigerator, a variety of cheeses and a good sampling of basic vegetables. Chandler also takes away any guilt about resorting to frozen vegetables. They are a “great shortcut since they are picked and frozen at the peak

of ripeness to lock in lavor and nutrients.”

Same goes for those ready-cooked rotisserie chickens at the grocery store. Chandler includes shortcuts with many of the recipes, including those rotisserie chickens, “to take the stress out of cooking” for people like her who combine busy days with children at home. One of our favorites was a fairly involved recipe for a homemade cream sauce in chicken spaghetti. If you’re in a hurry, then, voilà, substitute two cans of cream of chicken soup for the cream sauce, she suggests.

Chandler graduated at the top of her class from Le Cor-don Bleu in Paris, so if she can get away with cream of chicken soup it works for us.

One item on her pantry list that many Southern cooks may not always have on hand is ko-sher salt. In almost every reci-pe in the book she uses kosher salt instead of regular iodized salt because the chemical pro-cess to iodize salt alters the la-vor, she says. Kosher salt gives a deeper, saltier lavor. “It just seems to melt into the food bet-ter,” she says. The kosher salt is similar to sea salt but costs far less, she adds. And she suggests Morton’s makes a good grind of

kosher salt for cooking.As for the chicken in this

cookbook, you don’t have to be Southern to appreciate the bird that could join that All-Amer-ican list of baseball, apple pie and motherhood. “Everybody loves chicken. I would even venture to say that it’s prob-ably America’s favorite meat,” says Chandler. That said, she leaves out a recipe for classic fried chicken.

Why?“To be honest, classic fried

chicken is not the easiest dish to master, plus so many restau-rants do it so well,” she says. “A lot of people complain to me that it will burn on the out-side before it gets cooked on the inside. I wanted to provide something that was easier and quicker. I try to make it fool-proof.”

Her alternative should sat-isfy any fried chicken lover. It’s called “Peanut-ty fried chicken strips with maple-Dijon dip-ping sauce.” She slices bone-less skinless chicken breasts into 4- to 5-inch slices. She then seasons the strips with salt and pepper, dredges those in seasoned lour, dips them in beaten eggs, drains the excess egg then dredges the strips into a mixture of ground peanuts (or cocktail peanuts) and pan-

ko breadcrumbs. The chicken then goes into hot oil to cook until golden brown. Then remove the strips and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake at 350 degrees for 15 to 20 min-utes. Serve warm with a dip-ping sauce made of a half cup of mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, a fourth of a cup of maple syrup and seasoned with kosher salt and ground black pepper. Those strips can be frozen ahead of time and cooked straight from the freezer without thawing.

There are recipes for braised chicken with mushrooms and grits, chicken divan, chicken fricassee, chicken potpie, grilled chicken with peach bar-becue sauce, lemony chicken and a slow cooker cola chicken, but Chandler admits to a fam-ily bias for her favorite chicken recipe — “Pa’s herbed chicken parts.” Based on her father’s recipe, she rinses and pats dry 3 pounds of chicken bufalo win-gettes, places them in a large bowl, adds a half cup of olive oil, a tablespoon each of dried rosemary, dried thyme leaves and dried oregano and adds kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste. The chicken is then placed on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and cooked at 350 degrees for about an hour. Turn once dur-ing cooking.

While it is her favorite, the rest of the recipes in the book (105 in all) are all taste-tested and, as one commenter in the book contends, “bulletproof.”

Jennifer Chandler’s Freezer Veggie Soup from “The Southern Pantry Cookbook”

FREEZER VEGGIE SOUPServes 4 to 6. Freezes well.

My friend nevada Presley runs a vegetarian prepared-foods business called Get Fresh Memphis. All her healthy options are yummy, but her soups are one of my favorite things to order. They are always simple, uncomplicated, and delicious. i whip up this one on days when i feel like a quick and healthy meal.

INGREDIENTS

2 tablespoons olive oil ½ cup inely diced yellow

onion (1 small onion) 4 cloves garlic, minced 1 can (14.5-ounce) italian-

style diced tomatoes 4 cups (1 32-ounce box)

vegetable broth 1 bag (12-ounce) frozen

mixed vegetables, thawed (about 3 cups)

2 cups frozen cut okra, thawed and rinsed

1 can (14.5-ounce) cannel-lini beans, drained and rinsed

— kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

DIRECTIONS

1 in a large stockpot over medium-high heat, warm the oil until a few droplets of water sizzle when care-fully sprinkled in the pot. Add the onion and cook, stirring often, until the onions are soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute more.

2 Add the tomatoes, broth, mixed vegetables, okra and beans. bring the mixture to a boil over high heat. lower the heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered until the vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm.

Cooking tip: italian-style diced tomatoes are simply diced tomatoes lavored with italian seasonings. if you don’t have a can in your pantry, use regular diced tomatoes plus 1 tablespoon of dried italian seasoning.Pantry shortcut: A bag of frozen mixed vegetables contains carrots, corn, green beans and green peas. you can always add whatever frozen vegetables you have on hand. you can also substitute chicken stock for the vegetable broth.

LEMONY CHICKENServes 4.

This lemony chicken dish is my Southern spin on an italian piccata. Serve with rice or angel hair pasta for a fabulous meal.

INGREDIENTS

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1½ pounds)kosher salt and freshly ground pepper¥ cup all-purpose lour2 tbsp. olive oil¾ cup chicken stock¾ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice3 tbsp. unsalted butter1 lemon, thinly sliced into rounds

DIRECTIONS

1 rinse the chicken and pat dry with paper towels. Place the chicken in between 2 pieces of wax paper or plas-tic wrap and, using a meat mallet or rolling pin, pound to ¼-inch thickness. Gener-ously season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Place the lour in a shallow bowl and lightly dredge both sides of the chicken in the lour, shaking of the excess.

2 in a large skillet over medi-um-high heat, warm the oil until a few droplets of water sizzle when carefully sprinkled in the pan. in two batches as to not overcrowd the pan, cook the meat until nicely browned and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer the meat to a plate and tent with foil to keep warm. drain all of the fat from the pan.

3 For the sauce, add the stock and lemon juice to the pan and cook over medium-high heat, stirring with a wooden spoon to scrape up the browned bits from the bottom, until the sauce is reduced by half, about 3 minutes. Whisk in the but-ter. Stir in the sliced lemons and cook until warmed through, about 1 to 2 min-utes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

4 To serve, place a piece of chicken on each plate and spoon the sauce over the top.

Cooking tip: if you have capers in your pantry, you can add a spoonful to the sauce for a chicken piccata. The saltiness of the capers is a nice addition to the lemony sauce.

It was cloudy and cool Tuesday when I took a stroll around the Mem-phis Botanic Garden look-ing for some great plants

to write about. This is a tran-sition time in gardening when many summer stunners are popping out and fall lowers and foliages are still waiting in the wings.

But I did ind several stunning spec-imens, starting with the ornamental grass, Vertigo, a pennisetum.

Vertigo is a big but graceful mound, about 5 feet by 5 feet, of dark purple rib-

bonlike leaves.It toler-

ates heat and drought and when winters are mild, it re-turns. It didn’t make it through our last super-cold winter, but plants in 3-gal-

lon nursery pots planted in the spring reached full size a few weeks ago.

Because it does not lower, you don’t have worry about baby plants turning up in unwanted places.

“I saw it at Summer Celebration a few years and knew we had to get some,” said Kyle McLane, assistant director of horticulture at the Botanic Garden. Summer Celebration is a lawn and garden show held every July at the University of Tennessee’s Research and Education Center in Jackson.

In a spot just outside of the Four Sea-sons Garden, Vertigo has been cozy-ing up to Silk Stock, a coleus with lime green leaves and dark burgundy veins, along with short orange zinnias.

If you are looking for a sun-loving low-growing annual next year, consid-er a dwarf morning glory called Blue My Mind. Profuse quarter-sized blue lowers bring a cool look to the garden all summer. But like morning glories, the lowers close in the afternoon, but the silver foliage remains fresh looking.

You can see beds of these blues in My Big Back Yard and on either side of the fountain in the Four Seasons Garden.

I’m not usually a big fan of marigolds but a mass of the annuals illed my eyes with cheerful oranges and yellows on that overcast day. The lowers, part of the Incan series, are planted on each side of a gently winding path to the children’s garden. They made me want to skip like a kid again but my knees nixed that idea.

Before they say adios for the sea-son, the marigolds will be harvested and refrigerated by area Latinos to use in their decorations for the Day of the Dead, the Nov. 1-2 holiday that honors and remembers those who are no lon-ger living.

The orange and yellow flowers symbolize the rays of the sun and are thought to light the path for the “souls” to once again enjoy their favorite foods, which are placed on home altars. The pungent fragrance of the lowers also serves as a guide.

Members the Memphis Day of the Dead Committee also come to the Botanic Garden in the spring to help with the planting of the marigolds, said Chris Cosby, garden manager.

Thorny plants are more diicult for me to like but no one questions the beauty of roses, quince blossoms and some showy cactus blooms.

Take care when you encounter tri-foliate orange, a small tree with sharp thorns and small sour fruits, on a path leading to the herb and woodland gar-

dens.With its shiny green leaves still at-

tached, it’s easy to overlook thorns un-less you mistakenly grab a branch.

But when its branches are bare, a contorted mass of thorny twigs makes for a macabre yet compelling statement in winter landscapes.

“Look but don’t touch,” it would warn touchy-feely folks if it could.

In a less-traveled area behind the Rick Pudwell Horticulture Building grow numerous Chinese chestnut trees.

The nuts are well protected in a husk that is covered in sharp prickly thorns. Do not attempt to pick them up without gloves. In fact, don’t pick them up at all.

That’s a job for horticulturist Sherri McCalla, who stomps the closed husks open and carefully extracts the brown shiny nuts that are sold at the Wednes-day afternoon farmers market at the garden. Printed recipes are provided to buyers.

The nuts are not ripe until they fall from the tree. Judging from husks I saw on the ground, many will open on their own.

From what I’ve read online, chestnuts are an acquired taste unlike the pecans, walnuts and almonds we enjoy by the handful.

They are more starchy than other tree nuts and somewhat bland.

Vertigo, an ornamental grass with deep purple leaves, grows into a big clump in a single season. It tolerates heat and drought. When winters are mild, it returns the next year.

Orange and yellow marigolds line a curvy walkway from the Visitors Center to My Big Back Yard. The flowers will be snipped and dried for Day of the Dead celebrations.

Learn from British to calm down, garden on

FELDER RUSHING

New Hydrangea macrophylla Dark Angel

I love learning new stuf and bringing it home.

For several years I have lived part time in England, both in Shropshire, the “chocolate box” cottage and Hobbit region, and in a village nestled in the beautiful moors of northern Lancashire. And I visit gardens both private and public, and attend lower shows from spring to fall.

There are some big diferences in style, theirs and ours. One ex-ample is how most of our gardens are usually designed from the street looking toward the house, open to view; British gardens are just the opposite, laid out to view from the house looking toward the street, and are usually set apart from passers-by with a low rock wall, hedge or fence. Theirs are more private and guarded (which is where the word garden comes from).

And they tend to pack more va-riety of plants into smaller spaces and borders, which typically sur-round their gardens: hodgepodges of small trees, evergreen and low-ering shrubs, mixed perennials, annuals, grasses, and herbs, and overlowing containers and hang-ing baskets. By the way, some of the showiest plants in English gardens are native to our own Mid-South.

Lately I have become enamored with the incredible hydrangeas that are grown all over the U.K. The entire group is knockout gor-geous in England’s cool, moist late summer, unlike how hydrangea colors wash out in our Mid-South heat.

This year I am seeing more of the brand-new eye-catching Dark Angel hydrangea, maybe not even available in the U.S. It has dark bronzy-red foliage that doesn’t fade as the hot summer wears on, and its lower heads, whose bracts start out almost blue, turn vivid pink and lime.

It’s no wonder they get it right. They have been at it much longer and have igured out what grows well in their climate. England will it inside Mississippi, has only two planting zones, and lavish media coverage of gardens and events. They are a land of gardeners.

But we are too, in our ways. One thing I have learned from British gardeners is to just calm down, and garden on.

Although the thought of sleep-ing with millions of dust mites — microscopic arachnids that feast on lakes of skin — is just plain gross, it’s something most people can handle without worry. After all, our bodies are inhabited by multitudes of bacteria, to which we seldom give a thought.

For the many people who suf-fer from allergies, though, the allergens in dust-mite feces and body parts can lead to chronic sinus problems and coughing, among other symptoms. If gone untreated, the problem can esca-late to eczema and asthma, par-ticularly in children, according to James Sublett, president-elect of the American College of Al-lergy, Asthma and Immunology.

“The sooner you intervene, the less likely the problems are to escalate,” he said.

Luckily, homes can be made

more livable for allergy-sufer-ers — and less amenable to dust mites — in just a few steps.

About a quarter of Americans sufer from some sort of allergy and, of those, one-half to two-thirds are sensitive to dust-mite allergens, according to Sublett.

“Around the world, dust mites are the most common indoor al-lergen,” said Robert Wood, direc-tor of the pediatric allergy and immunology division of Johns Hopkins University.

If dust-mite allergies are sus-pected, the irst step is to get tested by an allergist.

These tips from allergists can help make any home friendlier to those with indoor allergies, dust mites included:

■ Keep It Dry. “One of the big-gest and most common mistakes people make is to install vapor-izers and humidiiers,” Sublett said. “Moisture can and does cause all kinds of problems.” Dust mites can’t survive in less

than 50 percent humidity, so buy a humidity meter and, if needed, a dehumidiier to keep humid-ity to between 35 percent and 50 percent.

■ Rip out the rugs and ditch the drapes. Carpet and heavy drapes are a reservoir for aller-gens like dust mites and should be removed, particularly in bed-rooms. If removing them isn’t an option, the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immu-nology recommends frequent vacuuming using a HEPA (high-eiciency particulate air) ilter. Those with allergies should stay away or wear an N95 particulate mask during and immediately after vacuuming.

■ Just Encase. All mattresses, box springs, pillows and com-forters should be encased in well-sealed, tightly woven, microiber “mite-proof” covers from a repu-table company, such as Mission: Allergy or National Allergy Sup-ply, and linens and stufed ani-

mals should be washed weekly, allergists say. Opt for smooth. Smooth surfaces that can be wiped clean are generally better for allergy suferers than more porous upholstered surfaces on couches, chairs and even car seats, Sublett said.

■ Clear and clean the air. To help keep indoor allergens of any kind at bay, homes should be smoke-free and pets should be kept out of the bedroom. For the very allergy-prone, use a HEPA air ilter in the bedroom with a

CADR (clean air delivery rate) adequate for the size of the room. Install MERV 11 or 12 disposable, high-eiciency ilters in the fur-nace and air conditioning system that can be changed every few months, according to Sublett.

■ Check the units. Allergists suggest that to minimize indoor allergens, heating and air condi-tioning units be cleaned and ser-viced every six months, and that gas appliances and ireplaces be vented to the outside and regu-larly maintained.

The Junior Auxiliary of Collierville recently at-tended the area meeting of the National Associa-tion of Junior Auxiliaries held in Olive Branch, Miss.

This is the time of year when JA chapter programs kick into high gear as stu-dents and teachers return to the classroom after sum-mer break. What better way to get JA members en-ergized for the upcoming year than with an oppor-tunity for learning, sharing ideas and networking?

“The NAJA Area Meet-ing was a worthwhile edu-cational opportunity for the JA Chapters to gather and share experiences, discuss issues and gain knowledge. We attended workshops on the power-ful use of social media, conflict resolution, and hands-on improvements within service projects. The education gained not only strengthens our chap-ter, but enables us to pro-vide quality services and events for the families and children of Collierville.” said JAC President Lesley Richardson. The Junior Auxiliary of Collierville has 35 active members who dedicated a total of more than 1,500 community ser-vice hours to Collierville in the 2013-14 school year.

Participants had a vari-ety of workshops to choose from, many of which were led by current or former NAJA Board members. Some incoming officers were offered training sessions for their respec-tive positions while other sessions covered topics relevant to the Chapter’s needs. JA of Tupelo, Miss. showed participants the strategy they used to pro-

mote NAJA’s National Fo-cus, teen pregnancy pre-vention, in a creative and tech-savvy way. How did they disseminate positive, abstinence-based informa-tion and make it appealing to young people? They cre-ated a smartphone app.

Past NAJA President Lyn Patrick facilitated a discussion on how to cre-ate rewarding, meaning-ful, and hands-on service projects by sharing her per-sonal story of her chapter’s relationship with a young man named Ricky. “Is Chapter Conlict Impact-ing your Efectiveness?” helped participants learn about the signs of conlict and adult bullying and of-fered techniques to address and eliminate that type of behavior in chapter’s with struggling member-ships. Another workshop showed participants how to promote their chapters through social media plat-forms. From setting up an account to reaching a wide audience, members learned best practices and how to get the most out of their on-line experience. Lastly, par-ticipants examined ways to

dig deeper into project pos-sibilities with the “Connect with Kids” website and shared ideas of how other Chapter’s have integrated the program.

NAJA hosts area meet-ings across the southeast each year to ofer training and assistance to the or-ganization’s 98 chapters. “NAJA is committed to pro-viding quality workshops and support for all of its Chapters. These meetings allow Chapter members to collaborate with each other and share ideas on service and inance projects,” said Beth Holbert, NAJA Presi-dent.

Junior Auxiliary repre-sents a serious endeavor on the part of women to be active and constructive community participants and to assume leadership roles in meeting commu-nity needs. The mission of the National Association of Junior Auxiliaries is to provide support, resources, and educational, leader-ship, cultural, and health care training for NAJA members to optimize com-munity service by NAJA Chapters.

John Black celebrated his mother Elizabeth Black’s life and legacy at a Collierville Reads 2014 event at the Morton Museum.


Germantown resident John Black displayed World War II memorabilia stored in his moth-er’s footlocker at a Collierville Reads 2014 event at the Morton Museum held on Sept. 27.

Black began by reading heartfelt letters written to his mother, Pittsburgh portrait art-ist Elizabeth Black, from families of soldiers whose portraits she had sketched.

Elizabeth Black’s inspiring life is celebrated in the WQED triple Emmy-award winning doc-umentary Portraits for the Home Front, which was also shown at the event.

The public is invited to the next Collierville Reads event “The Canteen Spirit” on Saturday at 2 p.m. at the Morton Museum. Visit collier-villeliteracy.org or call 901-854-0288 for details.

Germantown Station neighbors gathered Oct. 2 for a ribbon cutting to cel-ebrate the completion of the improvements to the park located in their com-munity.

After the City of Ger-mantown representatives conferred with neighbors last fall, it was decided a walking trail around the

lake would be construct-ed to improve the existing trail, banks, bridges and drainage on the property.

The trail is blacktopped and approximately 5-feet wide. Two wooden bridges make crossing drainage areas safe. The cost for the improvements was $119,500. Wagner General was the contractor for the project. The trail gives baby strollers, ishermen,

and pint-size bikers ac-cess from the street to and around most of the lake.

The Germantown Sta-tion Neighborhood Asso-ciation is thrilled with the improvements that were made without having to close the park to the pub-lic. After the ribbon cut-ting neighbors enjoyed socializing with friends and Parker’s Water Ice as a sweet treat on a hot day.

After her sophisticated sets drew an online following, Kush-nick has created her own furnish-ings line, which debuts this fall.

She says fall 2014 is about ind-ing pieces that provide maximum impact without a lot of efort.

Some themes this season:

TOUCH OF FALL“Look for texture-rich accesso-

ries — like a box with stone inlay or a wooden sculpture — that add an element of nature to your space. Mix in a variety of metals to add a sense of luxury,” Kushnick advises.

Says Los Angeles-based designer Trip Haenisch: “I’m seeing a lot of fabrics with luxe textures this sea-son. Linen velvets and woven fab-rics are really in. You can quickly and inexpensively incorporate texture into your space through

the use of pillows and throws.” (triphaenisch.com )

At fall previews, retailers were showing soft throws shot through with metallic threads or embroi-dered with subtle sequins. Rose gold is the ingénue on the metal-lics stage; its soft, pink-tinged in-ish looks new, and you’ll see it on tabletop accessories, lamps, even silverware.

Warm brass continues to play a big role, trimming tables, embed-ded in wooden trays, formed into curvy or linear vases and lamps. It picks up the mid-century vibe but suits traditional spaces too. Chrome and acrylic hit contemporary high notes.

On ceramics, you’ll ind reactive and dip glazes, and more matte in-ishes than ever before.

Mercury glass, a décor darling

for the past few seasons, gets a few tweaks with etched patterns and added color.

LIGHT IT UP High-end lighting design has

found its way into the midrange market, which means pricier styles at mass-market retailers.

Look for shades with crisp geo-metrics, nubby textures and crew-elwork patterns to update lamps for not much money. (target.com )

Pierced metal is showing up in many accents, including lighting. Milky glass pendants look country-modern. You’ll also ind matte-in-ish shades with foil interiors that catch light dramatically; Ikea has table and loor lamps with coppery lining. (ikea.com )

A tapered table lamp like the

Melrose from Crate & Barrel pro-vides mid-century lair. (cratean-dbarrel.com) Conical, brushed-aluminum sconces and pendants have space-age style. And for a luxe look, think about acrylic and crystal lamps. (rejuvenation.com )

Chandeliers get freshly inter-preted at Restoration Hardware. A rustic iron Foucaults orb encircles an ornate crystal ixture; tiny ball chains veil the crystals like the fringe on a lapper’s dress. (resto-rationhardware.com )

COLOR CORNERPlay with color, Kushnick urges. “There are some gorgeous grays

and subtle greens out this fall, and 2014’s radiant orchid and coral add a lush pop almost anywhere,” she says. “You can make a big splash just by updating a wall color or bringing in a few vibrant accent pieces.”

You’ll also see carrot, purple, lemon grass, ocher, clove, molasses and olive in throw pillows, bedding and upholstery. Homegoods has a butterscotch leather ottoman, a pretty pink side chair, and a pea-green accent table in its fall collec-tions. (homegoods.com )

PATTERN PLAY Ombre, tile, ziggurat, cinquefoil

and iligree patterns grace lamp shades, rugs and drapery. Naive woodland motifs and ’70s-era kitch-en prints dress wall art and napery. The newest geometrics and tradi-tional prints are overscale.

Responding to the mid-century trend, Ethan Allen has released a collection of Modern Art Master lithographs, including ones by Chagall, Miro, Matisse and Calder. (ethanallen.com )

By Kim CookAssociated Press

Are you a fan of mid-century modern? Drawn to classic elegance? Does the handicraft of global décor grab you?

There was an era when experts said to pick just one, but now we can mix and match or go all in. Each season brings updated ver-

sions of successful pieces, plus an interesting array of new looks.

This fall’s no exception. “Keep an eye out for versatile accent pieces, the kind

that can work in a myriad places, and consider mate-rial and color combinations,” says Beth Kushnick, set decorator for CBS’ “The Good Wife.” “These are some of the easiest ways to refresh any space, and there’s a ton of stylish options out right now at a range of price points.”

FIT FOR FALL

Travel

Take the famous Flam Railway, which begins at the mountainous Myrdal station on the Bergen railway, all the way down to the Flam station. This is easy to get to from ma-jor cities such as Oslo or Ber-gen as the Flamsbana or Flam Railway corresponds with the trains along the Oslo-Bergen route. Along the way, you will be greeted with some of the most amazing scenery that you will ever have had the pleasure to gaze upon. Books will stay unopened in your backpack, and even your precious smart-phones and tablets will be at rest — except perhaps to take a few photos of the memorable landscape.

The train stops along the way, letting passengers on or of at several locations — but also it stops for your viewing pleasure. There are points that the train will allow you to get of just for photo ops — which is not only fantastic for shut-terbugs, but should also give you an indication of just how glorious the scenery truly is.

One such “photo-op-stop” was in Kjosfossen. This wa-terfall (one of the most visited attractions in Norway) is larger than most others you will pass, and it has a deck or platform for viewing and photos to be tak-en. It also is used to help power the Flam line. How’s that for using your natural resources?

In our excitement to take the best photo, we nearly missed an amazing, quite surprising spectacle: In the middle of the waterfalls appeared a woman, dressed in red, dancing as mu-sic played — then she jumped behind the rocks — seemingly into the waterfalls. We learned later that she is an actress from the Norwegian ballet school, portraying the legendary Hul-dra (part-woman, part-animal seductress who lures men to certain doom in Scandinavian folklore) for the summer sea-son.

After the “show,” climb back on board the train to your des-tination of choice. Should you take the train all the way to Flam, you would disembark

onto a storybook setting. Flam looks to be right out of a pic-ture book or painting — quiet, idyllic and unspoiled. Located on the most inner part of the Aurlandsjord, you will ind yourself surrounded by tall mountains and deep jords. Outdoor enthusiasts and fami-lies will love this nature’s par-adise, where you cannot only get your ill of the outdoors, but steep yourself in local history, culture and traditional foods as well.

When you get to the end of the Flam line, the area is so lovely that you will ind your-self wanting to stay a few days. One of the nicest hotels in the area is the historic Fretheim Hotel, which being located just steps away from the train

stop makes your trip that much easier. Originally a farm and built into a guesthouse in the 1800s (and many times reno-vated), it boasts locally grown food, historical guest rooms, cozy atmosphere and beautiful views, as it is located upon the Naeroyjord UNESCO World Heritage site.

Literally steps away are a local museum, restaurants, shops, tours of the area, and of course the train station and boats.

On the Flam harbor, you can take a Heritage Fjord Safari on a RIB boat (rigid inlatable boat — a high speed, high perfor-mance, lightweight, inlatable boat), which will give you not only amazing views, but the guide will provide you with

information about the area history and scenery, and of-tentimes riders will have the chance to see wildlife such as eagles, seals and porpoises. Your boat will make stops fre-quently so that your guide can talk with you, as well as for photography and best views of local attractions.

Come a bit early, because you will have to “suit up” in protective winter gear — even in summertime. You will wear snowsuit-like gear — a one piece suit to zip into, a hat, mit-tens and even goggles. It does get colder than I would have thought, and was glad for the clothing provided, although we did look like summer snow-men.

Head next to Balestrand, an easy (and beautiful) boat ride from Flam. Here you can see Sognejord, the largest jord in all of Norway, also the second largest in the world. Known as “The King of the Fjords,” it is the longest, deepest in Norway, where you can see the highest mountains in the country as well as the clear green waters of the jord. This area is con-sidered to be one of the most beautiful travel destinations in the world, and has had art-ists locking to visit for many years. It is one of the most pho-tographed and painted places in Norway.

If you are looking for a place to stay in Balestrand, try the Kvikne’s Hotel. A splendid, historic hotel that has been in the same family since 1877, it combines the best of both mod-ern amenities with the charm and Old World elegance that will make one feel instantly relaxed. It ofers the most allur-ing views of the jord right out-side, with doors and windows that are easily opened wide to let the fresh, sweet-smelling air into your room.

The food served in the res-taurant is quite palate-pleasing, with local foods and specialties served by warm and friendly staf.

The Malsnes Aktiv tour agency ofers several diferent versions and trips.

It’s a very peaceful time, and a lovely way to see Balestrand, one you will not soon forget. In the area are hiking trails, bike rentals and other opportunities to get back to nature. For the traveler who is seeking adven-ture, nature or simply beauty, there is simply nothing like Norway.

From jords to falls, Norway’s beauty beckons the traveler

By Samantha FeussMcClatchy-Tribune News Service

Most of us spend nearly the whole day with some sort of technology — in front of a computer, an app on our cell-phones, watching the TV to unwind — and that might be why our minds and

bodies crave time outdoors so badly that we ind ourselves edgy, depressed, agitated. Just in gen-eral out of sorts. When you feel nature calling, answer it.

The natural beauty of Norway is stunning everywhere you look. (This is a bonus for the less-then-professional photographers among us, who will ind themselves unable to take a bad photo.) Some of the most amazing sights in Nor-way revolve around jords (long, narrow arm of the sea bordered by steep clifs: usually formed by glacial erosion — dictionary.com deinition for anyone not familiar with the term).

The pristine, unadorned loveliness around every turn is even a bit startling. There are cer-tainly not many places as pleasing to the eye as Norway.

On the Flam harbor in Norway, you’ll want to suit up for the Heritage Fjord Safari on a rigid inlatable boat. Even in summer, you’ll want to dress for cold weather.

At the ACBL Summer Championships in Las Ve-gas. a multinational team led by Richard Schwartz won the prestigious Spingold Knockout Teams. In the final Schwartz and Allan Graves of the United States, Lotan Fisher-Ron Schwartz (Israel) and Boye Brogeland-Espen Lindqvist (Norway) beat pow-erful “Team Monaco” (Zim-mermann-Multon, Helgemo-Helness, Fantoni-Nunes), 142 to 115.

As usual, most of the top seeds comprised a wealthy sponsor plus five profession-als, many from overseas. Of the 24 players in the semifi-nals, only Richard Schwartz was originally from the U.S.

How can an amateur spon-sor compete at such a high level? Most sponsors are de-cent players. Moreover, when almost every team has a spon-sor, the playing field is level. A major factor is that the sponsor must play only half the deals and often need not make many crucial decisions.

Even “pros” misjudge. In today’s Spingold deal, South chose to tactically “walk” his hand. His bid of four spades was wrong in theory — both four hearts and four spades would fail with perfect de-fense — but probably right in practice. But when East went to five hearts, South’s five spades was questionable at best. West doubled and found a good trump lead, and South went two down.

At the other table, East opened 1NT again, but South chose the bid his hand begged for: a jump to four spades. West doubled, but when he led a diamond, South was able to ru� a heart in dummy and take 10 tricks.

Dear Harriette: My husband and I will be married 15 years this May. He asked me the other day if I would like to renew our vows on our wedding day.

He said he has been thinking about it a lot and wanted to give us enough time to make the arrange-ments and figure out who we want to invite.

He is so excited about the idea — but I am not. I am bored and frustrated in our marriage. Hon-estly, I have been think-ing about whether I even want to stay married. I am hardly interested in doing it all over again. How do I break this to him?

— Not So Sure, Rochester, New York

Answer: Could it be that your husband wants to marry you again so that you can rekindle your bond? He may also realize that things have gotten stale at home.

Rather than deciding to walk away, though, he’s choosing to reclaim your love and strengthen

your bond. Tell your hus-band about your doubts and concerns.

Be honest about how you feel about your mar-riage — what is working and what is not. Admit that you do not think that your marriage is strong. Ask him to go to counseling with you now. Perhaps you can rediscover your love and a�ection for each other with professional help.

Tell him that for now you are not ready to renew your vows, but you are willing to figure out if your relationship is worth saving.

Sudoku

Dear Annie: Two months ago, I discovered that my husband had been texting and calling my oldest son’s girlfriend. My son told me about it after his girlfriend asked him, “What’s wrong with your father?” She said it began last June, but claimed it was only one phone call and a few texts. It made me feel ugly and un-wanted.

I suspect she is leav-ing out the extent of her involvement in encourag-ing him. This has crushed what was left of my feel-ings for him. He already had committed “financial infidelity” to the point where I was paying most of the bills with my small disability income. He al-ways had some excuse for not providing any money to the household. I even had to apply for provi-sions from the local food pantry.

When this indiscretion happened, I finally had enough, and we are now separated. The problem is, it is very awkward for me to interact with my son’s girlfriend. Am I jumping the gun on getting a divorce? What should I do?

— Crushed in Green Bay

Dear Crushed: Please stop blaming your son’s girlfriend for your husband’s inappropri-ate behavior. She prob-ably had no idea how to react to his texts and calls without causing a fam-ily problem. You need to forgive her for attract-ing your husband. Then decide whether you are better o� with or without him. If you cannot do this on your own, get some counseling.

Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Disgusted,” whose friends blow their noses at the dinner table.

My male friend and I went out for lunch one day, and he blew his nose repeatedly at the table. I decided that if he could be obnoxious, I would take out my dental bridge and drop it in my glass of water. It gets food in it and is uncomfortable.

I put a napkin around the glass and didn’t think it was that noticeable, but he commented how rude it was. I then said, “If you stop blowing your nose at the table, I will stop dropping my bridge in the water glass.” It has worked out well.

Jumble Daily Bridge Club

Near the end of the Spingold Knock-out Teams final at the Summer NABC, the multinational team led by Richard Schwartz held a 4-IMP lead — like an extra point in football — over favored “Team Monaco.”

At both tables in today’s deal, North’s two clubs artificially showed a spade fit. At one table, South for SCHWARTZ jumped straight to four spades.

West led the ten of clubs: deuce, six, ace. South led a trump to dummy and a heart to his queen. West won but failed to find a diamond shift, so South made the game.

FOUR TRICKS In the replay, the auction (shown) was

more revealing. West for SCHWARTZ led the ten of clubs: queen, king, ace. South drew trumps and started the hearts, but the defense shifted to diamonds in time to set up four tricks. SCHWARTZ won 10 IMPs.

Thousands of spectators watched the match online, and a commentator faulted

South for not making use of dummy’s club spots. He said South could set up a second club trick for a diamond discard and make his game. That was not true.

Questions and comments: Email Stewart at [email protected]

Aries (March 21-April 19) ★★★★ You’ll express your feelings and thoughts, while others seem to be short-tem-pered and unusually curt. Tonight: Happily head home.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) ★★★★★ You might be spending your time trying to get everyone on the same page. Know when that is impossible. You could be tired of having to explain your every thought. Tonight: Catch up on a friend’s news.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)★★★★★ You might want to explore your options. Others see you in a very favorable light. Tonight: Treat a pal to dinner.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) ★★★ You could feel as if someone is raining on your parade. You will assume the part of the observer — not the one making the deci-sions. Tonight: As you like it.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) ★★★★ Emphasize what is positive in your immediate environment. You won’t want to distance any friends at the moment. Tonight: Downtime.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ★★★★ People usually don’t enjoy having additional responsibilities dumped on them, but you’ll step up to the plate anyway. To-night: Focus on your long-term goals.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)★★★★ Your ability to manifest long-term goals comes from this ability to see the trees from the forest. A child or new friend could be extremely irritating. Make peace, not war. Tonight: Out late.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)★★★★ Be sensitive to what is happening be-hind the scenes. You understand the forces at work better than the majority of people. An animated discussion regarding finances could occur. Tonight: Speak your mind.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ★★★★ Anger could be close to the surface, and if you are not careful, you could be reactive to a partner or others in general. Tonight: Opt for togetherness.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)★★★ You might be compelled to complete a project, but a sense of profound irritation could get the best of you. You tend to come from a very serious perspective. Tonight: Out with friends.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ★★★★ You might want to crank down the high energy for now. It seems as if others might not be in the same mood. Tonight: Catch up on what you need to do.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) ★★★★★ You could be busy dealing with a personal matter. Listen to what you are hear-ing, and follow through on what is impor-tant. Tonight: So what if it is Monday?

Horoscope

This year you could manifest a dream. Be sure that what you go for is what you really want; otherwise, you might have a problem. Review your goals every few months to make sure they are valid. If you are single, do not commit to the first per-son who comes by. Think about your choices, because there will be op-tions. If you are attached, the two of you cement your bond by incorporat-ing more of the qualities you desire into your relationship. Acceptance of each other happens naturally. CAN-CER could play a very important role in your life.

MY ANSWER

Don’t wait to seek God’s forgiveness

Q: I know it won’t be long before I have to stand before God and be judged for something terrible I did over 50 years ago. The closer I get to the end of my life, the more frightened I become. What is hell like?

— S. McR.

A: I’m not going to answer your ques-tion directly — not because hell isn’t real (because it certainly is), but because you don’t need to go there! Let me explain.

The reason you can be released from your fears is because God has already pro-vided the way for you to be forgiven of your sins and go to heaven when you die. That way is Jesus Christ, who came into the world for one reason: to open heaven’s door for us.

Sin cuts us o� from God and erases any hope we might have of ever sharing in heaven’s joys. And that means we’ll never get to heaven on our own, no matter how

good we’ve been, because we’re not per-fect.

But Jesus Christ did for us what we could never do for ourselves: he made it possible for us to be forgiven and cleansed of our sins.

He did this by becoming the final sacri-fice for sin through his death on the cross. He was without sin, but every sin we ever committed was placed on Him, and he took upon Himself the judgment we deserve.

As the Bible says, “God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8).

Don’t carry your burden of guilt any longer. Instead, by faith ask Christ to for-give you and come into your life — and he will. The Bible’s promise is true: Christ came to “free those... held in slavery by their fear of death” (Hebrews 2:15).

TODAY’S CRYPTOQUIP: TO AID THE PIANIST IN THE VIKINGS’ STADIUM IN KEEPING TIME, HE MIGHT HAVE TO USE A METRODOME METRONOME.

Amusement



ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Your intuition will kick in and allow you to bring out the best in a loved one. You could get an earful, but make sure you share your feelings, too. Put on some music if you’re writing or doing some deep thinking.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH Tension builds around your home or family. You don’t need to make a situation any more diicult than it already is, so stay positive. Encourage feedback, and you might be surprised at how easily you can complete what you must do.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH You will be more ex-pressive than you have been in a while. Others may be deterred from expressing their concerns, as they seem to be very im-pressed with your ideas. Your energy levels could be working against you.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH Be more direct with a loved one about a risk. Weigh the pros and cons of a change in your home. Have a conversa-tion about these matters, even

if you feel somewhat awkward. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

HHHH You’ll wake up inally feeling more in control of your life. Your ability to help others create their desires also will come into play. Deal with some-one who seems rather unrealis-tic but dares to dream. Verbalize more of what you want.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH Allow yourself some personal time to daydream. You are likely to touch base with a diferent part of your consciousness as a result. Do not overthink a purchase or an investment, as the timing might be of right now.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH You might need to re-think a commitment involving a friend. Only you can know for sure how you will feel. It will be-hoove you to do some relecting on this matter. A friend could be unusually lexible, as far as mak-ing plans goes.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You could be pushed beyond your limits. Rec-ognize how important some-one’s approval is to you. You seem to do whatever you can to get this person’s attention.

Perhaps you would be better of taking a step back.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Consider finding another opinion. You easily could make a mistake unless you are well-grounded. You will see the situation much diferently given some time and space.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Someone you trust, but who also has a very diferent perspective, could prove to be challenging. You might not have requested help or feedback, but this person has a need to be closer to you and feel more in control.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Others will come to you, and you might need to screen calls and interactions if you want to accomplish any-thing. You will enjoy touching base with diferent people in your life, but do it another day.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH You could be busy and need to get past a hiccup. Your perspective might help you breeze through this problem. Don’t get too caught up in the situation. The less energy spent on this matter, the better.

By Amy DickinsonTribune Content Agency

Dear Amy: The last time I spoke to my adult daugh-ter was ive years ago. I hosted a irst birthday par-ty for her son at my home and she severed ties with me after a petty argument.

Since then, she has giv-en birth to additional chil-dren, and for several years, I sent cards and gifts in the hopes of reconciling. I stopped giving because the only response I received was through secondary sources.

I feel I had every right to be angry that day long ago. Both she and her hus-band were upset over my choice of party decora-tions (among other things). Post-ight, it came out that she felt unsupported dur-ing my marriage to my abusive ex-husband. And although I divorced him many years ago, it was evi-dently still painful for her.

I wish I knew she hated me prior to my giving her a new car and paying a down payment on her husband’s car. Or purchasing all the necessary items for a new baby, along with paying their rent when they had little income.

Am I wrong for feeling that way?

Dear Reader: You have chosen this space to try to restate your original gripes against your daughter, along with asking if you are “wrong” for feeling the way you feel. Your feelings are your feelings. They are nei-ther wrong nor right.

I can’t help but won-der, however, about your daughter’s feelings. You mention your marriage to an abusive ex-husband. Is it possible that this es-trangement is based on your daughter’s anger over your inability to protect her from an abusive situa-tion? Is she “wrong” to feel the way she feels?

As long as you review your petty conlict and keep score (while ignor-ing the big stuf), you will never ind closure.

Dear Amy: Recently I hosted a holiday dinner for 12 people. After all the leftovers were wrapped and put away, one of the guests asked if she could have some of the leftovers for her dog. I was mortiied, and the only response I was able to utter was, “Sure.”

I was taught that you never ask for leftovers un-less the host ofers them. I am mad at myself for not saying anything, but what could I have said?

Dear Reader: How’s this for an answer: “Can you take our holiday leftovers home for your dog? Um, no.”

Being a gracious host-ess does not require that you provide leftovers for your guests to take home for their own consumption — or their pets’.

ASK AMY

Keeping score won’t heal rift with daughter

Saturday pet adoptions

By Linda BourassaSpecial to The Weekly

People in the insurance business often are given an unvarnished look into the lives of the people they serve. Several members of the Brownlee family sold insurance and saw that many of the elderly Medicare and Medicaid applicants they worked with had no family and often needed extra care. They knew they could not just look away. Some-thing needed to be done to help these clients who had no one. The family took on the ministry of serving these, the least, and founded First Choice Community Services, Inc.

The matriarch of the family, Dorothy Brown-lee, is the CEO of the com-pany that provides home care services for those who need that extra help for a time. It may include meal preparation, grocery shopping, housekeeping, laundry, personal hygiene assistance, or whatever ba-sics the elderly may need to have a good quality of life. It often goes a lot fur-ther than what you might expect.

Recently a client was released from a nursing home when the insurance

coverage reached its limit and she was sent home. She lived alone. There was no family nearby or food in the house and she was too weak to walk alone. That’s when the Brownlee family sprang into action. They brought her supplies to last until the next level of insurance kicked in to pro-vide more. They brought food, continence supplies and even purchased a hos-pital bed which was need-ed for her care.

Rob Clement, their financial adviser with Shoemaker Financial in Germantown, said “First Choice Community Ser-vices has continued to

grow and is known for their commitment to their clients, employees and the community at large. They have a heart for serving the elderly and those in need. It’s been my privi-lege to know the Brownlee family and work with them as they make a positive im-pact in our community.”

The family business was founded by Dorothy Brownlee and her hus-band, Bruce Brownlee, Sr. They were joined by two daughters, Tennille Thom-as and Tifany Boyd, and son, Bruce Brownlee Jr.

Paragon Bank will display Bodine School student art in its Saddle Creek banking cen-ter during October to help raise awareness for Dyslexia Aware-ness Month. Bodine School, lo-cated in Germantown, strives to help children with dyslexia read and succeed.

“We’re honored to partner with such a great school and cause for three years in a row,” said Robert Shaw, Chief Execu-tive Oicer at Paragon Bank. “The students and faculty at Bodine School are so talented, and it’s a privilege to display their work to raise awareness for this learning disorder that

afects people of all ages in our community.”

Paragon worked with Bodine School art teacher Lori Wake-ield to display an assortment of art mediums, including water-color, charcoal and collage. The art, created by 49 students in the second through ifth grades, will be on display for the community to enjoy in the main lobby of the bank until Oct. 31.

Student artists include Hel-en Craig, Thomas Hathcock, Adrianna Libby, Emma Claire Mackey, Ian Passman, Taylor Pendleton, Lola Pera, Nate Pol-ly, Lola Poole, Ciara Sernel and Dariush Zafer in second grade; Jesse Ammons, Jordan Beasley, Michael Bright, Presley Carrol, Emiko Dallas, Luke Early, Kay-

lan French, Harry Hutchins, Keira Ligon, Lily McCollum, Jared Morris, Emily Nunn, Henry Shackelford, Sara Shepa-rd, Grayson Simonton, Rachael Spain, Hil Thompson and Wil-son Thompson in third grade; Brandon Baker, Caleb Caraway, Caleb Degan, Kent Dinh, Mary Wilkes Dunavant, Cooper Dye, Lilly Graham, Lauren Miller, Ruby Nahmais, Sarah Palmer, Kennise Wilkins and Adam Williams in fourth grade; and Melina Anastassatos, Abigail Ar-nold, Avery Barber, Ava Evans, Harrison Keller, Michael Owen Lopez, Robert Rainer and Char-lie Shackelford in ifth grade.
