If you ask Farmington Elementary third grader Cohen Warren-Sloan what he did this summer, don’t be surprised if he tells you he became a real life superhero.
In the eyes of his family, he would be telling you the truth.
On June 2, Cohen discovered his little brother Charlie loating face down is a swimming pool. Like a su-perhero, Cohen yelled out for help and jumped in to get Charlie out of the pool.
Since then Charlie has undergone extensive therapy at Le Bonheur and is showing steady signs of progress.
On Oct. 18 friends and family of Cohen and Charlie sponsored a 5K
fun run at Herb Par-sons Lake. In addi-tion to raising money to help with Charlie’s recovery, the event also was held to honor Cohen for his heroic eforts.
Charlie’s father, Daniel Warren, added that he wanted to make cer-tain the public gets the word on the importance of swimming pool safety:
“Among children aged 1 to 14 years old, fatal drowning remains the sec-ond-leading cause of death behind motor vehicle crashes,” Warren said.

The City of Germantown was recently awarded a $1,250 grant through TennGreen Connections, a small program generously funded in West Tennessee by John and Estie Sheahan and the Tennessee Parks and Greenways Foun-dation.
The grant will be used to purchase and install 9-1-1 locator signs along the Ger-mantown Greenway Trail. The signs will use an alpha-numeric regionally standard-ized coding system easily recognizable to trail users. In an emergency, the locator information will allow irst responders to locate and promptly provide emergency services to those in need.
Sponsored by the Tennes-see Parks and Greenways Foundation, the TennGreen Connections grant program helps to fund greenway or trail projects connecting nearby communities to or near Ten-nessee’s beautiful State Parks and State Natural Areas.
Tennessee Parks and Gre-enways Foundation is a state-wide nonproit organization founded in 1998. Their vision is to create a network of parks, greenways, and wildlife areas across Tennessee from the mighty Mississippi River to the Great Smoky Mountains and beyond. The foundation strives to accomplish this vision through conserving Tennessee treasures, creat-ing corridor connections and fostering initiatives by others through conservation educa-tion and advocacy.
Stacey Ewell is the assistant to the City
Administrator.

Theater students at Collierville High School, in rehearsals for their newest production of the classic American play, “Our Town,” by Thornton Wilder, are making a few alterations to one of the main characters.
The stage manager, who acts as narrator and com-mentator of what is oc-curring onstage, will be played by two actors rath-er than one. “Whether you do it the traditional way with one stage manager or with two, the character(s)
serve the same purpose as the Greek Chorus did in ancient Greece. They are the liaison between the characters and the au-dience,” said Keith Salter, theater director at Collier-ville High School.
The stage managers are played by Joseph Piercey, who recently student-di-rected “Charlotte’s Web: The Musical” at CHS and Charlotte Piper, who played the beloved spider Charlotte in the same pro-duction.
“There’s a lot to memo-rize as one of the stage managers. It’s not like most shows where you’re speaking a sentence or two back and forth. Instead, a lot of the show is page
after page of only one of us speaking,” said Piper. Piercey, who is also Presi-dent of CHS’s chapter of the International Thespi-an Society, acknowledges the volume of lines, but also sees another chal-lenge.
“I would say that the biggest challenge in play-ing the stage manager is
making everything seem natural. Although I’m playing a role, I’m essen-tially playing myself. Since my character is basically running a “rehearsal” of the show, everything needs to seem very laid back and less “acty,” says Piercey. Both actors com-

A recent national news story on a possible link between arti-icial turf ields and high rates of cancer in athletes has Ger-mantown residents worried about their new school district’s proposal to add turf to Houston
High School’s athletic ields.Supt. Jason Manuel said he re-
ceived several calls from parents after NBC published its report on Oct. 8. Manuel said he under-stands the concern, but he has not seen any scientiic studies linking cancer to the turf. He said he still plans to hire con-sultants Athletic Surfaces Plus to design the ields and run the fundraising campaign, as the ad-dition of turf is only one portion of the proposed renovations.
“I think it adds another com-
ponent to the decision,” Manuel said of the report. “It’s deinitely something that we would need to look into or address.”
The NBC report focused on soccer players who had a high rate of cancers like leukemia and lymphoma and had played on turf ields. NBC also reported Oct. 16 that two schools across the country had either aban-doned their plans for a turf ield or altered the kind of rubber they would use following the initial story.
Consultant Tim Cowan pre-sented a plan to the Germantown Municipal School Board on Oct. 1 for three styrene-butadiene rub-ber athletic ields at Houston.
Cowan said the crumb rubber does contain carcinogens, but only at levels that are harmful if the rubber were to be heated more than 500 degrees. He said the industry standards require the rubber to be a certain qual-ity, and it has been in use for 15 years.
“All of the studies that have
been done by qualiied univer-sities and government agencies, state and federal, all have deter-mined to this time that SBR rub-ber is not harmful for humans in the form that it’s in,” he said.
However, Cowan said, if Ger-mantown was concerned about the chemicals in the rubber, a more expensive alternative is an option.
Cowan said a man-made rub-ber substitute, which could in-crease the price of each ield by as much as $50,000.

In Brother Joel McGraw’s little black book are the addresses and phone numbers for a stream of hu-manity the irrepressible Brother calls, regular as prayer, in honor of birthdays and anniversaries and to comfort in sad times.
If he doesn’t call, he’ll send one of his famous “penny postcards,” which go out with such regularity, friends, including boyhood friend Monsignor John McArthur, say he must get stamps for Christmas.
“Anybody he has met or had an experience with gets one of those cards,” said McArthur, who said Mass on Oct. 16 in honor of Broth-er Joel’s 50 years as a Christian Brother. More than 1,100 people poured into the high school gym to honor him.
“The bishop is our leader, and a lot of priests are well-known, but I don’t know anyone better known than Brother Joel,” said McArthur. “I always say he is the face of Catholicism in Memphis.”
Last Sunday afternoon, a com-munity Mass was said at the Ca-thedral of the Immaculate Con-ception, the inale of a week of receptions and events for Brother Joel’s golden jubilee. Cars were parked for two blocks along Cen-tral Avenue.
“When Christian Brothers called about the Mass, I said we would have to expand the cathe-dral,” said Monsignor Val Hand-werker, whose homily was a re-lection of the Brother’s humble life against the imprint of the 14th century theologian Catherine of Siena.
“If you can be who God meant
you to be, you will set the world on ire,” he said. “I can’t think of another person in the Catholic community in Memphis who has touched so many people with their love as Brother Joel. He has done it as a teacher and as a Chris-tian Brother. And he has touched us deeply.”
Brother Joel, 69, grew up as William Harley McGraw on a quiet stretch of Reese between Poplar and Walnut Grove, and ex-cept for the six years he taught in Catholic schools in Missouri and Oklahoma, has devoted his career to CBHS. There, he still teaches one section of senior English — including world lit — and religion and works much of the rest of the day in the development oice.
He’s up at 4:30 each morning. In dark or dawn’s light, he picks up trash in the high school parking lot, including fast-food wrappers and all manner of debris blown in by the wind. By 6:15 a.m., he’s at St. Louis Catholic Church, his home parish, for Mass. (And at least for the short term, he’s also the Sunday morning organist.)
Brother Joel is the real-life ex-ample of what it means to serve the community and humankind, students say.
“I used to play football and I got hurt. A year later, he still asks me how I am and how I am feeling,” said Thomas O’Malley Jr., 18.
The boys, O’Malley said, love the Brother who still wears a robe
to work, even to football games, and are in awe that he knows ev-ery single one of them by name.
“He’s diferent, but in many ways the same as us. He is a Brothers boy, and so are we. He’s put his life into the school, and we are his legacy. I am sure all of us are happy to be that for him.”
In honor of his service, CBHS is raising $5 million for an endow-ment, the irst it has named for a Christian Brother, to develop the teaching staf.
Anne Skorupa, Brother Joel’s sister, said their mother was tickled he wanted to be a Brother. Their father, a Protestant at the time, was reluctant to let his only son go.
“He insisted my brother go to a secular college for a year and try to mix in,” Skorupa said. “Af-ter a year, if he still wanted to be a Brother, my dad said he would give his permission. Brother went to college, and attempted to mix in. It did not work. He was not at all interested in a secular life.”
When he left to begin his train-ing as a Brother, she said their mother sent the best percale sheets she could buy, plus new towels and underwear. It all went into communal storage.
“When it was time for him to get the one towel he would need for the week, he was directed to the storage room to take the next one in line,” she said.
The same was true for all his essentials, which explains why in an early picture at CBHS last week, he was wearing a man’s dress hat nearly down to his eyes.
“You became a child of God that did not care about the trap-pings of the world,” Skorupa said. “It suited him entirely.”

Education and econom-ic development issues took center stage at the Ger-mantown candidate forum Tuesday night.
The subject of the three Germantown namesake schools, which remained with Shelby County Schools after the separa-tion of county and mu-nicipal schools, came up in each of the debates for school board, aldermen and mayor.
In the mayoral de-bate, candidates George Brogdon and Mike Pala-zzolo ofered conlicting views on how the city should move forward with the schools that have Ger-mantown in their names — known as the “3Gs” — and whose responsibil-ity it would be to go after them.
Brogdon, who has cam-paigned heavily on the issue, said people on the south side of town are “very concerned” they don’t have a neighborhood school. Moderator Richard Ransom asked Brogdon why he’s told voters that property values are down in the area of the 3Gs since last year when, in fact, they have risen.
Brogdon said he’s heard from Realtors that selling houses on that end of town is diicult, and as far as values, “We’re not going at the rate we need to.”
Palazzolo, an alderman, said people near the 3Gs are happy to have a choice of which school to attend. “Those people are excit-ed,” Palazzolo said. “They don’t see it as a sacriice to go a short distance to a quality school.”
He also said long-term planning for the schools, whether or not it involves the 3Gs, must be left up to the school board. “If they want the commitment of the mayor’s oice to help out, I’m there,” Palazzolo said.
Brogdon said he would not circumnavigate the school board, but that the district will need at least Germantown Elementary School to serve its popu-lation. He used the por-table classrooms behind Riverdale School as an example of overcrowd-ing that will cost the city money to ix.
The aldermen candi-dates also spoke on the 3G issue, with candidate John Barzizza saying he would be in favor of acquiring Germantown High School to turn it into district ad-ministrative oices.
Barzizza’s opponent, incumbent Greg Marcom, said losing the 3Gs to SCS was “inevitable.” If the dis-trict wanted them to be a part of the Germantown Municipal School District, Marcom said he would look at the issue from the standpoint of whether the district would be able to af-ford the capital improve-ments needed at those schools and whether they would have the staf and students to ill them.

The smiles on the happy faces were contagious at the annual Special Kids and Families Fall Festival and Talent Show last Saturday at Hope Church.
Nearly 200 volunteers, such as church members Johnny and Lucy Long, spent the day greeting and entertaining families joining Hope’s special needs fall festival.
Outside the event featured farm animals and train rides presented by Happy Times Farm. Guests headed inside were given a bag to fill up with goodies as they made their way to the gym for fun and games includ-ing balloon animals, face painting, the Trail of Treats obstacle course, a cake walk, basketball, rock climbing and more.
A hot spot for the girls was the Miss Princess Pag-eant Spa Room. The exciting Glow Room and Sensory Room were favorites among children of all ages as they enjoyed many glow in the dark activities includ-ing knocking a few pins down during glow in the dark bowling. The kids enjoyed all the activities while fill-ing their bags with treats as they traveled from one game to another.
South Hall Café was filled with 17 kids and adults as they performed in this year’s talent show. Eleah An-derson, 42, was among those showcasing their talent. Wearing fashionable pink glasses that matched her pink poodle skirt and pink finger nail polish, she took center stage for a solo vocal performance. Smiling ear to ear, Eleah shouted “I did it, I did it,” after singing “Stay With Me,” for the audience.
All the fun and excitement of the festival made for a special day for some very special kids and adults.

SPENCER NESVICKHouston Middle School band
Q What do you like most about your school?
A The families. Students are in the band for all three years.
As a band director, this long-term relationship allows me the oppor-tunity to see how positive the fam-ily structure is to student learning.
Q What was your favorite subject as a kid and why?
A History, music and science. History is interesting because
of the many viewpoints of histori-cal events. From elementary music groups to high school jazz bands, reading and performing music have always engrossed my brain. Science was very interesting because it brings the “how” into the classroom.
Q What was the most challenging subject for you as a kid and why?
A English. Surprisingly, I have been reading music since I was
three-years-old. However, reading books and writing were very chal-lenging. Since I couldn’t sit still for longer than a few seconds, I had to learn how to expend some energy before sitting down to read a book.
Q What is the greatest challenge you face as an educator?
A Providing the best music edu-cation to students regardless of
the circumstance. School band is of-ten the irst area forgotten about dur-ing state funding. Between the high school and middle school bands, three band directors are teaching over 500 students. That would be like having six teachers for a school the size of Houston Middle School.
Q What do you hope to accomplish as an educator?
A My goal as a band director is to provide a meaningful expe-
rience to students from all back-grounds. Every day I work hard to make sure that students feel like they are indispensable members of a high-achieving group.
Q What is the most rewarding mo-ment you’ve had as an educator?
A Last May, the Houston High School band raised over
$150,000 to take a trip to New York City and perform in Carnegie Hall. The Carnegie Hall performance was amazing and for the entire last piece of our performance I cried. It was all of the hard work and extra hours put in by the students and parents to raise money for the trip and rehearse throughout the semester that made the whole experience special.
Q Who is your teaching inspiration and why?
A My parents have been an inspi-ration. They have always told
me (and my siblings) that we could do whatever we wanted. My older sister is a teacher at White Station Elementary, my younger sister is a nurse at St. Jude and my younger brother works as a Boy Scout when college isn’t in session. The one constant between all of us is our passion to mentor young people.
Q Who is the person you most ad-mire and why?
A My wife. She has always been supportive of my very hectic
job. Sitting through an entire day of a high school marching band contest is actually grounds for a divorce in some states.
Q What are some things you like to do outside of school?
A I play trumpet in the German-town Symphony Orchestra
and in the Memphis Jazz Orchestra. Also, I play lots of really bad golf.
To nominate an outstanding educator to be
featured, e-mail Matt Woo at
Spencer Nesvick hopes to provide a meaningful experience to stu-dents from all backgrounds.

Tara Oaks Elementary third grade stu-dents and teachers were captivated by a special visit from an international star — Buttercup, an American Pekin duck.
His unique story is making the rounds on media outlets across the globe, most recently on CNN, Fox News, CBS News, USA Today, CNET, the Today Show and
in National Geographic.The reason for Buttercup’s worldwide
renown? A prosthetic leg created on a 3D printer by Mike Garey, founder of Feath-ered Angels, a local waterfowl sanctuary.
Garey shared with Tara Oaks students how he utilized state-of-the-art scientiic methods as a way to solve Buttercup’s problem. Using the knowledge and skills Garey has gleaned from years as a pro-fessional computer engineer, he was able
to come up with a solution. Tara Oaks students were eager to learn about the process, and how they too can apply the things they are learning in school to real life problems.
Throughout the workshop Garey also taught the students about diferences be-tween domestic and wild ducks, as well as the special diets of domestic ducks and the routine care involved in having a domestic duck as a pet.
The workshop was funded by an Action Team grant through Thrivent Financial, a member nonproit orga-nization.
Leia Berry is a parent at Tara Oaks Elementary.

NASHVILLE — State oicials are concerned about a po-tentially low voter turnout in the Nov. 4 general elec-tion and particularly the impact of a low turnout on the four proposed state constitutional amend-ments on the ballot.
Tennessee Secretary of State Tre Hargett, whose oice oversees elections statewide, and state Elec-tion Coordinator Mark Goins said turnout on Oct. 15, the irst day of early vot-ing, was light across most of the state.
Gov. Bill Haslam and for-mer Governor Phil Brede-sen said they’re concerned about the efect a low turn-out will have on the amend-ments. The two conduct-ed a forum at Lipscomb University in support of Amendment 2, which will control how state appellate court judges are appointed.
“It’s a non-presidential (election) year and there’s not a lot of heat being generated in many of the political battles,” Haslam said. “I’m concerned a lot of people will get to the amendments and just say, ‘I’m not sure I understand all that,’ and just skip it.
“Not voting is a no vote. I’m actually concerned, as an interested political per-son, that turnout might be really low, and it’s one of the reasons we’re doing what we’re doing.”
One concern is that vot-ers will be confused about what the four amendments do, and another is about the double-threshold require-ments for their ratiication. Each amendment must win a majority of votes cast on
the amendment, and that majority must also equal at least 50 percent plus one vote of the total number of votes cast in the governor’s race on the same ballot.
For example, if one mil-lion votes are cast for gov-ernor, any of the amend-ments must win at least 500,001 “yes” votes — and the “yes” votes must out-number the “no” votes to be ratiied.
Bredesen said that while he believes Amendment 2 will win a majority, he’s concerned by the number of people who approach him and ask, “ ‘Now, that Amendment 2 that you talk about, am I supposed to be for that or against it?’ And these are intelli-gent, informed people who watch the news or read the newspaper.
“That’s the kind of stuf that scares you, because people will either do the wrong thing, or say ‘I don’t understand this’ and pass on to the next one. It’s very diicult to explain the nu-ances of this to somebody.”
Amendment 2 enshrines in the constitution Ten-
nessee’s current method of selecting judges on the Tennessee Supreme Court, Court of Appeals and Court of Criminal Appeals: — initial appointment by the governor followed by re-tention elections by voters every eight years, but with the new step of conirma-tion by the Legislature. It replaces language in the constitution declaring that state Supreme Court judges “shall be elected by the qualiied voters of the state.”
Amendment 1 would re-move any right to abortion from the state constitution and give power to the state Legislature to regulate abortion. If the U.S. Su-preme Court’s decision in Roe v. Wade is ever over-turned, it would outlaw abortion altogether.
Amendment 3 would ban enactment of earned in-come or payroll taxes mea-sured by income at both the state and local levels.
Amendment 4 would al-low veterans organizations to conduct once-a-year gambling events to raise money.

Thirteen years after protesters stormed the state Capitol over a state income tax that lawmak-ers were consider-ing, Tennesseans will decide Nov. 4 whether to per-manently ban any new state or local personal income or payroll tax in Tennessee.
The third of four amendments proposed for the Tennessee Con-stitution on the general election ballot would add an explicit prohibition on enactment of a general income tax on wages and salaries by the state and local governments.
The operative phrase in Amendment 3 says , ...“the Legislature shall not levy, authorize or oth-erwise permit any state or local tax upon payroll or earned personal income or any state or local tax mea-sured by payroll or earned personal income ...”
It also says the prohibi-tion does not apply to “any tax in efect on Jan. 1, 2011, or adjustment of the rate of such tax.” That provision allows continuation of the state’s existing personal income tax on certain stock dividend and inter-est income.
If Amendment 3 is rati-ied, neither the state nor city and county govern-ments could tax earned income such as wages and salaries, but the state could continue taxing dividends and interest.
If Amendment 3 is re-jected, the issue of a state general income tax is left ambiguous in the constitu-tion, which now provides that, “The Legislature shall have power to levy a tax upon incomes derived
from stocks and bonds ...”
The Tennessee Supreme Court has ruled twice, in 1932 and 1960, that
a general income tax is unconstitutional
because the constitution doesn’t explicitly allow it.
But, the legislature has considered a state income tax three times since the court’s last ruling — in 1985, 1991 and the sessions of 1999 to 2002. Three state attorneys general is-sued legal opinions saying they believed the income tax schemes being consid-ered might be upheld in court because the consti-tution does not explicitly prohibit a general income tax.
State Sen. Brian Kelsey, R-Germantown, spon-sored the resolution put-ting Amendment 3 on the ballot and heads the “Yes on 3” committee urging its ratiication. Kelsey and other supporters want the amendment to permanent-ly ban a state income tax.
“Not having a state income tax has already brought jobs to Tennes-see and being able to tell employers we’ll never have one is going to bring even more jobs,” Kelsey said.
Dick Williams of Nash-ville, who heads “Citizens for Fiscal Sanity” against Amendment 3, says no
income tax is on Tennes-see’s horizon but banning it in the constitution would limit the options of future generations and lead to higher taxes on sales and property.
“This is not a referen-dum on whether or not to have an income tax or a payroll tax, but it is a ques-tion on whether we should enshrine in the constitu-tion a limitation on future decisions that voters may feel the need to decide,” Williams said.
“We believe that passing this amendment will inevi-tably lead to either higher sales taxes or higher busi-ness taxes, and on the lo-cal level, higher property taxes. If things got serious and this amendment got enshrined, possibly a state-wide property tax could be considered. We think it’s clear that like everything else, governmental costs will rise, and they won’t be ofset by economic growth alone.”
CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT
Amendment 3 seeks permanent ban of earned income tax
AMENDMENT 3 BALLOT TEXT here’s the full text of amendment 3 that voters will see at polling places:Shall article ii, Section 28 of the constitution of tennessee be amended by adding the following sentence at the end of the inal substantive paragraph within the section: “Notwithstanding the authority to tax privileges or any other authority set forth in this constitution, the legislature shall not levy, authorize or otherwise permit any state or local tax upon payroll or earned personal income or any state or local tax measured by payroll or earned personal income; however, nothing contained herein shall be construed as prohibiting any tax in efect on January 1, 2011, or adjustment of the rate of such tax.” yes No

Giving back is always the right thing to do; but it can also get you ahead. Volunteering with nonproits and community ef-forts provide unique opportuni-ties to showcase your leadership skills while meeting new people and expanding your sphere of in-luence. Civic engagement also gives you a point of diferentia-tion among your peers and com-mon ground when conversing with any executive.
Business leaders are engaged in nonproits and community
development projects because they understand the impor-tance of servant leadership and the symbiotic relationship between a vibrant city and a successful company. Like the rising tide lifts all ships, the more we improve the quality of life for our citizens, the more beneits we can all realize. So, leaders contribute inancially and strategically, ofering their time and expertise to make a diference.
If you are at a place in your career where you are content, it is easy to align your passions and expertise with organiza-
tions that could beneit. If you are looking for a job or to make a change, however, there is noth-ing wrong with working back-ward. Look around for compa-nies you want to work for and people you want to meet, then research online to learn what nonproits they support.
After you have a list of the boards your selected business leaders serve on, reach out to those nonproits and ofer to lend a hand with a need, proj-ect, or event. Pick something manageable with a short time frame, where you can take a leadership role and exceed ex-
pectations. Your only request is that the nonproit give you a written testimonial or send a thank you email to their board for your win.
If you do not meet them in the process of volunteering, your win, combined with that thank you, will give you the perfect platform to follow up with the business leader you initially sought to impress. It is an easy and efective way to open the door to new opportunities.
The beauty is that I have many friends who have followed this exact process and landed dream jobs, so it really does work.

After completing his un-dergraduate work at Harding University in Searcy, Ark., he went on to graduate from Logan Chiropractic College in Ches-terield, Mo. in 1989. He imme-diately joined the TCA and has held a consistent membership ever since.
His dedication to profession-alism has made him a ixture in the Memphis Area. He opened his current practice, Collier-ville Chiropractic Clinic, in 1992 and has beneitted many from his skillful care.
His servant leader character has led him to assist within his community, through organiza-tions including the Boy Scouts of America, serving as a Cub-
master for four years and as Scoutmaster for three years. In addition, he is a member of the Collierville Kiwanis Club and served as president for three terms. He is a past board member of the chamber of com-merce and also serves as a dea-con at Germantown Church of Christ where he and his family are members.
Perhaps his most notable service has come during his long tenure on the Tennessee Board of Chiropractic Exam-iners. Kelton was appointed by former Gov. Don Sundquist in 2000 to a six-year term during which time he was elected and served two of those years as
president. In 2006, former Gov. Phil Bredesen reappointed him to the board for a ive-year term. His dedication to this role, year after year, was apparent to any and all who witnessed his care-ful consideration and prudence.
Kelton is a devoted husband and father. He and his wife, Phyllis, have two sons, Taylor and Grant. He enjoys spending time with his family, camping, hiking and hunting and is train-ing to run the St. Jude marathon in December. He has contribut-ed greatly to the protection and advancement of the profession over the years and demonstrat-ed a career-long commitment to chiropractic in Tennessee.

Patsy Jones with Shoemaker Financial hosted an investment seminar and luncheon for a group of female clients and their friends. Titled, “Girls just want to have Fun(ds)!”, the seminar was a fun look at investments placed in everyday situations. It encouraged women to become involved in their financial futures and was very well received by the group. Margie McClung and Cathy Marcum, both with Shoemaker, provided their assistance insuring a successful event.
Daron Schoenrock (second from left), head baseball coach at the University of Mem-phis, spoke to the members of the Rotary Club of Germantown. He talked about the fall practice and upcoming season. During the meeting, Schoenrock met club members (from left) Bill White, Al Woods and Bob Mills.
The special guest speaker at the weekly meeting of the Kiwanis Club of Germantown was Tare Miller, a sixth degree black belt and National and International Champion in tae-kwondo. She talked about how it can be used for self-defense as well as strength condition-ing, relaxation and maintain-ing flexibility. She then gave a demonstration of her skills.
FedEx Pilots Wives Association decorated Ronald McDonald House for fall with a little help from some of the children staying there. The children were excited to see all the decora-tions and found a treat bag waiting for them when they returned from the hospital. The ladies also delivered new game chairs, game controllers and stools they donated to the teen room. They will be going to FedEx Family House on Nov. 18th to make sack lunches for the patients and their families, and restock the pantry. For more information on the group, visit fepwa.com.
Members of the family volunteer group Little Helpers paid tribute to hometown heroes last month by delivering thank you notes and treats to fire stations across the Mid-South. Little Helpers has been helping children help others since December 2010. The family volunteer group holds monthly service projects for children of all ages. The program is designed to help young people understand the value of volunteering, recognize the blessings in their lives, broaden their community perspective and feel the sense of ac-complishment received from lending a helping hand. The ultimate goal of the program is to raise confident children who see giving back to the community as a normal aspect of their lives. Little Helpers was created in Memphis, but today has chapters across the country.

In a game with talented playmakers on both teams, nobody stood out more than Earl Harrison.
The Ridgeway senior running back scored four touchdowns last Friday to lead the Roadrunners to a 41-21 victory over Houston, spoiling the Mustangs’ homecoming while hand-ing them their irst loss of the year after seven con-secutive victories.
Ridgeway, which is ranked second in The Commercial Appeal’s Dan-dy Dozen, improves to 7-1 and remains undefeated in 15-AAA.
“This is big for us,” said Harrison, who has com-mitted to play at Arkansas State.
“We feel like we’re go-ing to go ahead and close out the district.”
Any success Ridgeway has this year will depend heavily on Harrison, who scored on runs of 65, 7, 13 and 4 yards. The irst one
demonstrated all his abili-ties, as he bowled right over a Houston defender about 10 yards past the line of scrimmage before outsprinting a pair of de-fenders to the end zone.
“We wanted to come out and establish the run, con-trol the line of scrimmage, and I think we did a good job of that,” said Roadrun-ners coach Duron Sutton.
“And Earl, I feel like he’s the best back in the city if not the state. He puts it down in every game.”
Harrison’s understudy, Lilotis Walker, opened the scoring with a 2-yard run. And the passing game also got in on the fun as Brax-ton Conard hit Cayman Gordon with a 10-yard touchdown pass in the fourth quarter.
The two teamed on a 32-yard play in the third that set up Harrison’s inal touchdown.
Houston entered the game ranked fourth in the Dandy Dozen and was bid-ding to go 8-0 for the irst time.
But that chance slipped
away in an uncharacteris-tically sloppy performance that was low-lighted by three second-half turn-overs and several costly penalties.
“It leaves a sour taste in our mouths because we did some things we hadn’t done all year,” said Mus-tangs coach Will Hudgens, who is 0-2 against his alma mater.
“But the guys fought their butts of. And hats of to Ridgeway. We have to come back now and get ready for Collierville. We’re 0-0 now heading into Collierville.”
Quarterback Jared Schmidt accounted for all three touchdowns for Houston, scoring on a 9-yard run and throwing touchdown passes of 15 yards to Chanse Pullen and 26 to Clark Anderson.
IN ANOTHER GAMEGermantown 14, Kirby
6 at Germantown: The Red Devils (3-6, 2-3 15-AAA) got both of their touchdowns in the fourth quarter to turn back the Cougars (2-6, 1-3). Jacob Ivy threw a 6-yard scoring pass to Rodney Williams to make it 7-6 before Ken Wilson recovered a Kirby fumble in the end zone.

Over the past several years, the athletic depart-ment at Evangelical Chris-tian School has worked to build a strong women’s soccer program. In 2013, the girls varsity team com-peted at the state tourna-ment for the fourth time in the past five seasons.
This year, the varsity team finished fourth in the Division 2-A West Re-gion tournament and play a substate match on the road Saturday, as they look to once again advance to the state tournament.
A strong foundation in women’s soccer begins at the middle school level at ECS. High school athletic director Geoff Walters praises the efforts ECS has made to build a com-
petitive program from the bottom up. “The life line to our varsity teams in all of our sports programs is our feeder teams in the middle school and elementary program. I’m very proud of how this formula has been carried out over the past several years and this is very evident in our girls soccer program.”
Middle school athletic director John Roelofs says since the school has both an A- and B-level middle school girls team, more girls get the opportunity to play.
Under the direction of head coach Scott Hauss and assistant coach Andy Ellzey, the middle schools girls program has flour-ished. For the second year in a row, the A-team won the Shelby League Middle School soccer champion-
ship. After a strong regu-lar season the girls beat St. George’s in the final at Briarcrest. Eighth-grader Ally Ellzey scored the only goal of the match.
“The greatest strength is that (this team is) so bal-anced, we don’t have to rely on one or two players
to make things happen,” said coach Hauss.
“From the back to the front, there are really no weaknesses. It is the most talented group of girls I have had in my 11 years at ECS.”
Seventh-grader Lauren Stephens believes that
strong coaching and team-work led to a successful season and championship.
“The Shelby League final game was competitive for us since St. George’s was the only team that beat us during the regular season. In the championship game, we scored in the first half
and afterward we really worked hard to keep them away from our net and we were successful. This was a great team this year and it was a joy to win the district championship.”
Mylissa Horrocks is a communica-
tions writer for ECS.
GIRLS SOCCER
ECS Eagles growing strong for the future
The Evangelical Christian School middle school girls soccer team recently won the Shelby League Middle School Soccer Champion-ship. The Eagles, coached by Scott Hauss and Andy Ellzey, edged St. George’s 1-0 on a goal by eighth-grader Ally Ellzey. The team completed the season with a 12-1 record in capturing its second straight middle school title.

Like you, John Barzizza is proud of Germantown’sreputation as a safe community. But keeping it that waymeans city hall should stop planning an eight-lane roadthrough the historic district that will give criminals aquick route in and out of town. It means preventingnew commercial development within only a few feet ofresidential property, leaving residents more vulnerableto crime. It means continuing to fully support ourexcellect Germantown Police Department.
As a candidate for Alderman, John Barzizza wants tobring a business-like approach to city government. Heknows that a core value of good business is clear, opencommunication and listening to the people you serve.John will use his 43 years of business experience tohelp Germantown make the best decisions for oursafety, protecting our property values and quality of lifenow and in the future.

This week’s Division 2 state volleyball tournament in Mur-freesboro looks more like the Shelby County Invitational.
Three local teams — St. George’s, ECS and Harding — reached the Division 2-A semi-inals with substate victories last Saturday.
“I remember when I irst start-ed playing, you’d look up in the stands and see the older girls ... and it was a cool feeling,” said St. George’s senior Roxanna Wood. “Everybody knew everybody.”
“And I think the same way that we’ve matured as a team, Memphis has matured as a vol-leyball city. It’s one thing that coach Emmy (McClain) has told us, ‘You’re not just playing for yourself, or your team or even your school, you’re playing for the city.’ ”
Wood’s efforts helped the Gryphons to their fourth state trip in ive years, defeating visit-ing Battle Ground Academy 25-14, 25-17, 25-17. St. George’s won the title in 2010 and 2011 and in-ished second last year.
“I’m just elated for our team,” said Wood, who has been a standout since her eighth-grade year. “I’m glad we’re going to get the chance to experience (state) and do it together. It’s all I could have asked for my senior sea-son.”
Harding advanced with a three-set victory over visiting Nashville St. Cecilia’s while ECS battled through four hard-fought
sets on the road against Donel-son Christian before prevailing.
In Division 2-AA, Briarcrest Christian School coach Carla Anderton was dealing with a head cold during her team’s match against visiting Brent-wood Academy. But an impres-sive 25-15, 27-25, 25-23 victory that ended a lengthy state tour-nament drought provided a nice pick-me-up.
“This is the irst time in my six years that we’ve gone and I know they had four coaches in four years before that, so it’s been at least 10,” Anderton said.
“Team unity has been our fo-cus, working together as a group. This is something we’ve been working towards since July, but our goal isn’t just to get to state but to win it.”
The area’s other two D2-AA hopefuls were eliminated. De-fending state champion St. Ag-nes lost at home Nashville Father Ryan while St. Benedict fell in four on the road against Baylor.
IN DIVISION 2 SOCCERIn D2-AA, the West’s top seed,
Briarcrest Christian School, will host Ensworth at 6 p.m. tonight in the state quarterinals. St. Agnes will host Brentwood Academy at 3 p.m. Friday and Hutchison plays at GPS.
In Division 2-A, St. Mary’s got three goals from Martha Kay Williams and two more from Mary Caroline Newman to capture third place in the West Region with a 5-2 victory over Evangelical Christian School. Both teams will now be on the road for substate games this weekend.
In the championship game, Rachel Gianpapa’s first-half goal was enough to give Uni-versity School of Jackson a 1-0 victory over tournament host St. George’s.
The Gryphons (12-4-4), the defending state champions, will
host Knoxville Webb Saturday at 2 p.m., with the winner advancing to next week’s state tournament.
LOCALS HELP WEST TO VICTORY
Several local golfers were part
of the West Tennessee team that recently won the Tennessee Ju-nior Cup, a Ryder Cup-style competition against their coun-terparts from East Tennessee.
Two-time AAA state cham-pion Aubree Jones of Brighton
and Division 2-AA state champ Abby Heck of St. Agnes com-peted, along with Peyton Dix of Briarcrest and two talented un-derclassmen, Goodman Rudolph of MUS and Winston Margaritis of St. George’s.

The Panthers, the Region 7 champions, got a battle from Region 8 runner-up Collierville before prevailing, 25-22, 28-26, 25-15. Coach Sherrie Walker’s team is 40-6 and advanced for the second consecutive year.
Bartlett and Houston were matched up in the irst round Wednesday at the state tourna-ment. The eight-team, double-elimination format tournament continues through Friday.
IN DIVISION 1 SOCCERAfter spreading the wealth
around Tuesday, the Houston Mustangs are one step closer to getting a chance to defend their state soccer championship.
The Mustangs got goals from 10 diferent players in a 10-0 victory over Central in the Re-gion 8-AAA semiinals. Robyn Penella had a goal and two as-sists to lead Houston, which im-proves to 15-0-2. Paola Ellis and Gabby Little each had a goal and an assist.

Schilling Farms Middle re-cently announced the members of its boys’ varsity, junior varsity and sixth-grade basketball teams, which are coached by Toby Tay-lor and assistant coaches Norris Langford Jr. and Terry Smith.
The team was selected after several weeks of open-gym game play and a three-day tryout ses-sion. The players immediately began practice to prepare for the
season opener against Arlington Middle School on Monday.
“We have all the key pieces to build on the success of this past season,” Taylor said. “We have skilled players who have developed in the program for a year. We’ve added to the coach-ing staf with Coach Smith, who brings years of experience and knowledge to our program. The addition of the sixth-grade team will ensure we continue to de-velop players even early on, as they are the life of the program.”
Members of the varsity team are Justin Stonework, Jeffrey Hubbart, Kevin Wright, Jaylon Saulsberry, Nick Piacenti, Mi-chael Phillips, Takori Rooks, Ja-cob Jones, Malachi Picart, Hous-ton Colwick, Khamall Davis, Christian Clark, Kannon Trice and team managers Jacob Pringle and Jordan Deadmon.
The JV team members are Justin Campbell, Justin Miller, James Chaney, Jake Liebenrood, Matthew McDaniel, Will Parr, Cullen Odom, Mason Shrop-
shire, Benjamin DiMento, Dylan Powell, John Paik and manager Kedrick Malone.
The sixth-grade members are Alston Elam, Jordan Jenkins, Jor-dan Coleman, Joshua Miller, Ty-mechie Anthony, Ethan Hassler, Kameron Jennings, Caleb Little-john, Allen Powell, Griin Reilly, Tyler Thomas, Quincey Wash-ington and team managers Elgin Cook and Keenan Winston.

The Bollinger Mill State
Historic Site, Mo., is where you will find
the four-story mill building
that dates back to 1867. Today,
you’ll find a museum inside
it with various implements,
from a grain el-evator to a roller
mill. Visitors can watch corn
ground into corn meal or take a guided tour of the entire mill.

If you’ve seen the “Gone Girl” movie trailers, you’ve already glimpsed some sights around Cape
Girardeau, Mo. A recent one has a great shot of the Mis-sissippi River bridge. The irst-released trailers closed with a shot of the river. Then there are the houses, the courthouse gazebo and the “Bar,” which was recent-ly purchased and will soon be opened as, you guessed it, a bar.
“Gone Girl,” the ilm adaptation of the best-selling Gillian Flynn thriller, is one of the most eagerly anticipated ilms of the year. It opened in theaters Oct. 3.
The city, which plays the role of the ictional North Carthage, Mo., from the book, will celebrate the movie premiere in a number of ways, which will be revealed later as 20th Century Fox green-lights them. But for now, you can take a driving tour of the sites. Go to visitcape.com/gonegirl to ind a downloadable map of ilming sites as well as favorite restaurants of the cast and crew.
But a trip to Cape shouldn’t begin and end in Cape. Southeast Missouri has many other interesting sites to see. Don’t miss these unique destinations, most no more than an hour’s drive from Cape.
LAMBERT’S CAFE IN SIKESTONYou’ve probably seen the sign for
the original Lambert’s: Home of the Throwed Rolls. And yes, they really do throw rolls there. Somehow, they seem to know what kind of throw to toss, so there aren’t many rolls that wind up on the loor.
Earl and Agnes Lambert opened the irst Lambert’s in 1942. The busi-ness grew over the years, with the restaurant outgrowing its irst two locations as word-of-mouth spread. Today, Lambert’s has restaurants in Ozark, Mo., and Foley, Ala., and is still family-owned. Prices are quite reason-able (a fried chicken meal with all the pass-arounds and two sides is $12.99), but keep in mind, Lambert’s does not take credit cards.

MINGO WILDLIFE REFUGE IN PUXICO
Growing up, my grandparents lived in Puxico, so I vividly remember visit-ing Mingo, particularly a time when I saw two beavers working feverishly to build a dam, oblivious to the tourists around them.
In 1976, through the Wilderness Act of 1964, Congress designated 7,730 acres of swamp, riparian areas and Ozark Plateau uplands as the Mingo Wilderness Area. Today, it’s a great place to spend time in nature with the family. Other animals that frequent the area are river otter, bald eagles, water-
fowl, swamp rabbits, wood ducks, mi-grating monarch butterlies and alliga-tor gar. On our recent visit, on a hot and steamy summer day, we hiked a couple of short trails, including the popular boardwalk through the swamp. All we saw were some ducks, a blue heron and a crawish.
Sure, I was disappointed that I didn’t see the beavers, but it’s hard not to be wowed by the majestic bald cypress rising from the swampland. Visitors can hunt and ish (with license) as well as kayak through the waterways or take a horseback ride. Most people hike the paths or boardwalks or take one of three auto tour routes.
More info: 24279 State Highway 51, Puxico. 1-573-222-3589; fws.gov/ref-uge/mingo
THE HUNTER-DAWSON HOUSE IN NEW MADRID
If you love touring historic homes, the Hunter-Dawson house, a combina-tion of Georgian, Greek Revival and Italianate architecture, should be on your list of places to stop. Sitting re-gally on several tree-lined acres, the
mansion hearkens back to New Ma-drid’s days as a trading stop along the Mississippi River. And unlike many other historic homes, you can actu-ally step inside the rooms and closely examine all the artifacts.
William Hunter died just before his Southern mansion was complete in 1860. His wife, Amanda, and their children moved into the home shortly after.
The home has 15 rooms and nine ireplaces. From the painted canvas loor cloth to the original pine work, the house is as authentic as possible to the period. You can even see the date 1873 scratched in the kitchen window, presumably from when daughter Ella was engaged.
More info: 312 Dawson Road, New Madrid. 1-573-748-5340; mostateparks.com/park/hunter-dawson-state-his-toric-site. Admission: $5.
BOLLINGER COUNTY MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY IN MARBLE HILL
As we were walking into the mu-seum, a girl of about 10 was walking
out. “How was it?” We asked. “Really, really cool,” she replied.
Housed inside an old college build-ing, the museum is far more impressive than you might expect, tucked away in the back roads of southeast Missouri.
The museum hosts a number of in-teresting exhibits: a natural history room, a Civil War room, a geology room, a Lego room and more. But the real draw here are the dinosaurs. The irst loor tells the story about “Mis-souri’s Dinosaur,” a Hypsibema mis-souriensis, a variety of dinosaur called a hadrosaur or “duck billed” dinosaur. The dinosaur was discovered in Bol-linger County in 1942; in 2004 it be-came Missouri’s oicial dinosaur. A group of schoolchildren later named it “Dyna MO.”
More info: 207 Mayield Drive, Mar-ble Hill, 1-573-238-1174; bcmnh.org; Ad-mission: Adults $5; 17 and younger $2.
BOLLINGER MILL STATE HISTORIC SITE
The four-story mill building dates to 1867. Today, you’ll ind a museum inside it (admission is free) with vari-ous implements, from a grain elevator to a roller mill. Visitors can watch corn ground into corn meal or take a guided tour ($4) of the entire mill.
Holly Mitchell, an interpretive re-source technician, showed me around the museum, pointing out historic graf-iti from mill workers.
Back in the day, the mill operated of power from the dam at picturesque Whitewater River. Crossing it is the 140-foot Burfordville Covered Bridge, one of only a handful left in Missouri. Pack a picnic and take a walk around the property, crossing the bridge to the other side of the river. You will feel in-stantly transported to another time.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH You sense a diference from the past few days. You are focused and intense, and you know what you want. Greet to-day’s Solar Eclipse without rigid-ity. You will be a lot happier as a result. A partner or associate can’t seem to get enough of you.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH Your ability to lex will be tested in the next few weeks. As you go through this period, many of you might be asked to break your usual patterns. Be gracious and give it shot.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
HHHH You might be over-whelmed by everything you have to accomplish. You could start acting like a chicken with its head cut off. Sometimes, you simply can’t get through all your to-dos — not because of you, but because of unexpected requests. .
CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH You’ll beneit from the intensity of today’s Solar Eclipse. You could see a personal situation much diferently from how you normally do. It would
be smart not to continue as you have, and not to make any big announcements today. .
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Stay anchored, and try not to allow a loved one’s up-roar to get the best of you. You might have been considering a change on the homefront, and today’s events might point to taking action. You won’t want to act just yet.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You’ll be sure of your-self when presenting an issue or describing what you feel. How-ever, in a week or so, you could have a totally diferent outlook. Take your time when making an important decision.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Note what is going on with your inances, and also be aware of the costs of any com-mitments you might make right now. Do some price comparisons, and shop around. Know what you expect from a loved one.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Be spontaneous when pursuing your own ideas. However, try not to do anything overly ofensive to a loved one, or you could have quite a situa-tion to deal with. A new begin-
ning is possible for you, espe-cially if you express your caring.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HH You might feel unusually drained, or perhaps you’re making too much out of a comment or suggestion. You often inspire others with your ideas. Today, allow someone close to give you feedback.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You might feel as if you can’t turn a situation around, no matter what you do. Perhaps taking a step back might be the best move. Others will bring you an ofer in the near future that you can’t say seem to say “no” to.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH You could be a lot happier than you realize about a change with work or with a diferent situation where you take the lead. Recognize when you have had enough. Know that you don’t need to make an immediate decision about someone new.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH You might be stunned by what you hear, and also by what comes out. Do not make this information out to be bigger than it really is. Worry less, and go with the low.

Answer to yesterday's puzzleSudoku is a number-placing puzzle based
on a 9x9 grid with sev-eral given numbers. The
object is to place the numbers 1 to 9 in the
empty squares so that each row, each column and each 3x3 box con-tains the same number only once. The difficulty
level of the Conceptis Sudoku increases from
Monday to Sunday.
The average solution time for this King Features crossword is 63 minutes.

In July 1971, I left for the ACBL “Summer Nationals” in Chicago with $100, some gro-ceries, no idea where I would stay and no dates to play. I don’t recall how I survived.
The ACBL now stages three annual “North Ameri-can Championships.” The summer event is the largest, especially if the site is a tourist mecca, but at the 2014 NABC in Las Vegas, attendance was o�.
Las Vegas can be expen-sive. There was grumbling about the cost of amenities and the ever-increasing entry fees. The league must think its rank-and-file members have money trees. For rich sponsors who pay hefty fees to pros, the $3,000 cost of attending a 10-day NABC is negligible. But for others — young adults and seniors on fixed income — it may be prohibitive.
In the Open Pairs, Jim Fos-ter of Birmingham got his money’s worth from today’s deal. At three hearts, Foster won the first spade with the ace ... and led the nine! West played low; he feared East had the bare king left. Foster then picked up the trumps and ex-ited with a club.
The defense took three clubs, but East next led his last club, an error: South’s pattern had to be 4-5-1-3.
Foster ru�ed and cashed his last trump at the 10th trick. If West bared his ace of diamonds, Foster could end-play him. So West discarded his ace, hoping East had the king, but Foster made his con-tract for a top score. He and Larry Sealy finished third in the event. (As the cards lay, declarer could succeed legiti-mately with a ru�ng finesse in diamonds, but his play was more pleasing.)
Dear Harriette: My 18-year-old daughter just came home with colored contact lenses. To me, she looks like an alien. She has dark brown eyes that she was born with, only now she put blue lenses on top of them. I’m sorry, but she looks crazy. I know she is trying to make her own way in her life, but this is just not a good idea. As her mother, I believe I am supposed to tell her, and so I did. As you might imagine, she was o�ended. Then she dug in her heels and said she likes them, so leave her alone. I don’t want to put my foot down too hard on this one. After all, she can remove them. But I worry about her reasoning for wanting to change her eye color. She is a beautiful young lady, and I think she should be proud of her God-given attributes. How can I get my point across that she is beautiful as she is?
— Concerned Mom, St. Thomas, United States
Virgin Islands
Answer: Young people
try out lots of ideas as they look to cultivate their personal identities. While you may not like the colored contacts, at least they are not some-thing permanently dis-figuring. You can remind her regularly that she is beautiful inside and out. I would say no more about the contacts. She will get plenty of reactions from the outside world. Let her experience what comes her way on her own. Your job as her mom is to let her know that more important than how she looks is how she behaves and treats others.

In July 1971, I left for the ACBL “Summer Nationals” in Chicago with $100, some gro-ceries, no idea where I would stay and no dates to play. I don’t recall how I survived.
The ACBL now stages three annual “North Ameri-can Championships.” The summer event is the largest, especially if the site is a tourist mecca, but at the 2014 NABC in Las Vegas, attendance was o�.
Las Vegas can be expen-sive. There was grumbling about the cost of amenities and the ever-increasing entry fees. The league must think its rank-and-file members have money trees. For rich sponsors who pay hefty fees to pros, the $3,000 cost of attending a 10-day NABC is negligible. But for others — young adults and seniors on fixed income — it may be prohibitive.
In the Open Pairs, Jim Fos-ter of Birmingham got his money’s worth from today’s deal. At three hearts, Foster won the first spade with the ace ... and led the nine! West played low; he feared East had the bare king left. Foster then picked up the trumps and ex-ited with a club.
The defense took three clubs, but East next led his last club, an error: South’s pattern had to be 4-5-1-3.
Foster ru�ed and cashed his last trump at the 10th trick. If West bared his ace of diamonds, Foster could end-play him. So West discarded his ace, hoping East had the king, but Foster made his con-tract for a top score. He and Larry Sealy finished third in the event. (As the cards lay, declarer could succeed legiti-mately with a ru�ng finesse in diamonds, but his play was more pleasing.)
Dear Harriette: My 18-year-old daughter just came home with colored contact lenses. To me, she looks like an alien. She has dark brown eyes that she was born with, only now she put blue lenses on top of them. I’m sorry, but she looks crazy. I know she is trying to make her own way in her life, but this is just not a good idea. As her mother, I believe I am supposed to tell her, and so I did. As you might imagine, she was o�ended. Then she dug in her heels and said she likes them, so leave her alone. I don’t want to put my foot down too hard on this one. After all, she can remove them. But I worry about her reasoning for wanting to change her eye color. She is a beautiful young lady, and I think she should be proud of her God-given attributes. How can I get my point across that she is beautiful as she is?
— Concerned Mom, St. Thomas, United States
Virgin Islands
Answer: Young people
try out lots of ideas as they look to cultivate their personal identities. While you may not like the colored contacts, at least they are not some-thing permanently dis-figuring. You can remind her regularly that she is beautiful inside and out. I would say no more about the contacts. She will get plenty of reactions from the outside world. Let her experience what comes her way on her own. Your job as her mom is to let her know that more important than how she looks is how she behaves and treats others.

Dear Amy: My sister asked me to purchase a frozen cheesecake, cook-ies or pretzel dough from my nephew for his school fundraiser.
I told her that I would send a donation directly to the program because I was not interested in the items.
My sister pushed the frozen cookies, and I told her that I did not want to be bullied into purchasing an item that I did not want.
My mother called and asked to place an order (in my name) to ease the ten-sion. I said, “No.” I wanted to directly invest in my nephew, so I sent a letter and donation to his school.
Any advice? Dear Reader: I under-
stand your larger point, but here’s a parallel version of the drama as it might have gone, scripted by yours truly:
Sister: I’d like you to purchase some frozen dough from “Buddy” for his school’s fundraiser.
You: Why don’t you have him give me a call? I’d like to hear about it.
(Buddy calls and gives his pitch)
You: Well, I don’t want baked goods: How about I order one dozen pretzels, and when they come in I’ll pass them along to you to share with your Boy Scout troop?
See how easy things are when everybody plays their part?
Dear Amy: An elderly woman from our church recently passed away, leav-ing five adult daughters.
The mother was intense-ly abusive to the daughters as they were growing up, and when she divorced, four of the five (then, young teenage) daughters chose to live with the father.
Of the five daughters, only three ever reconciled
with the mom, and the oth-er two attempted without success to do so since the mom always wanted the relationship on her terms.
After the mom passed away, the two daughters who had been on the “outs” with her attempted to “be there” for the other daugh-ters, but the “in” daughters never welcomed the “outs” to the funeral service, even though they had all been fairly close over the years.
They do not want their mother’s malice to define who they each became. What would you tell them?
Dear Reader: The last thing this family should do is let their mother’s treat-ment become their own toxic legacy. The message should be: This ends here. This ends now.

Dear Annie: I’ve been in an abusive marriage for nearly 15 years, and I can’t take another day. My husband has never hit me. It’s all mental and emo-tional abuse. He calls me horrible names in front of our children. He has con-stant tantrums where he screams, throws things, breaks things and threat-ens me, saying if I leave, he’ll kill me, destroy my life and take our children away. I have no access to money, and he has driven all of my friends away.
I have nowhere to go. There are no shelters in my rural area, and I’m scared of what he may do when I leave. How-ever, I’m determined. I’ve written him a very long letter explaining why and promising that I don’t want any money from him, so he doesn’t have to worry about that. And I plan to give him this letter in the next few days. I want to hand it to him. But I’m afraid.
I don’t have anyone to discuss these things with. Please help me.
— Too Scared To Leave
Dear Too Scared: Please do not do anything rash. Before you leave, you need to have your next step planned and ready, whether it is finding a shelter, staying with friends or relatives, or leaving town. It would be unwise to hand your abusive husband a letter and walk out the door. We know you want to do the honorable thing, but your safety is more important right now. We urge you to call the National Do-mestic Violence Hotline (thehotline.org) at 1-800-799-SAFE. Someone there will guide you through the process.
Dear Annie: My hus-band and I are retired and live in upstate New York with our son and his family. Our son broke his back and neck in a freak accident. He has fully recovered, but now is addicted to pain medica-tion. He has no job and no insurance. Is there any way to get him the help he needs to be a functioning adult again?
— Desperately Concerned Mom
Dear Mom: This must be a terribly di�cult situ-ation for everyone. Please look into state-funded drug and alcohol rehab centers through the Sub-stance Abuse and Mental Health Services Admin-istration at findtreatment.samhsa.gov, or call their treatment referral line at 1-800-662-HELP. We’ll be thinking of you.

“Your honor,” the District Attorney stated, “we will prove that South com-mitted a felony. He lost a cold game.”
“Proceed,” said the judge. “West led the king of clubs against
four spades,” the DA said. “East signaled with the nine, and West continued with the jack. East took the ace and led the ten of hearts: queen, king, ace. South drew trumps and took the A-K of diamonds, but East won the third diamond and cashed a heart.”
LAST CLUB “South succeeds if he plays low from
his hand on East’s heart shift and takes the ace. He draws trumps, ru�s his last club in dummy, takes the top diamonds and exits with a heart. West must con-cede a ru�-slu�.”
“Objection,” roared South’s counsel. “My client’s queen of hearts might have won the third trick.”
“Guilty,” the judge ruled. “If East had the king, he would have let West win the second club to lead a heart through
dummy. “While you’re at it, arrest East. He
always beats four spades by overtaking the first club for a heart shift.”

You will feel very well cared for. If you are single, you easily could have your pick of poten-tial suitors. You might not be sure who Mr. or Ms. Right is, but several people will be quite interesting to date. If you are attached, the two of you will experience unusual hap-piness together as you appear to be closer to fulfilling a mutual long-term goal. VIRGO’s fussiness often makes you feel ill at ease.

MY ANSWER
Doubts can destroy your mind and heart
Q: Is it wrong to have doubts about God? My parents say I shouldn’t question any-thing but just take it on faith, but I have a hard time doing that. When some of my friends ask why I believe in Jesus, they aren’t convinced if I just say I have faith.
— K.D.
A: I’m sure most of us have had doubts, but the real question is what we do with them. Do we cling to them, or do we seek answers to them? In other words, do we use them as an excuse to keep away from God — or do we use them to move us closer to God?
Do you remember Thomas, who was one of Jesus’ disciples? After Christ’s res-urrection, some of the other disciples told Thomas that Jesus had come back from the grave — just as he had promised. But Thomas refused to believe them, saying he would only believe in Jesus if he could see him with his eyes and touch his body with
his hands. The other disciples urged him to have faith, but for “doubting Thomas,” faith wasn’t enough.
But Thomas’s story doesn’t end there. Instead of turning his back on them, a week later Thomas joined the other dis-ciples — and Jesus suddenly appeared in their midst. And when he did, Thomas’s doubts fell away and faith took their place. He exclaimed, “My lord and my God!” (John 20:28).
Don’t let doubt destroy your mind and heart. Instead, look honestly at Jesus as he is found in the pages of the New Testa-ment. When you do, you’ll begin to under-stand who he was and what he did. Then (like Thomas) your doubts will flee, and your faith will grow stronger on a founda-tion of facts — the facts of Christ’s life, death and resurrection for you.

Special to The Weekly
Tennessee Shakespeare Company opens its seventh performance sea-son with a resurrection of William Shakespeare’s “Richard III” inside Duncan-Williams Performance Hall at Germantown Performing Arts Cen-ter over Halloween.
Playing an extremely limited run from Oct. 30 through Nov. 1, “Richard III” features TSC founder and produc-ing artistic director Dan McCleary in the title role. The production is spon-sored by Ann and Wellford Tabor.
Directed by Dave Demke, “Richard III” features a cast of eight seasoned
actors that will act as King Richard’s spirit world during All Hallow’s Eve. Seven spirits revisit Shakespeare’s narrative of the most infamous vil-lain in literary history.
This revisitation has been prompt-ed by the factual discovery and un-earthing of the real Richard III under a parking lot in Leicester, England two years ago. The bones remain un-in-terred as of this writing and perfor-mance.
The discoveries made about the man who was Richard III do not al-ways support Shakespeare’s creation, but they do tell a compelling and even painful story.

By Carol BorchardtSpecial to The Commercial Appeal
There’s something deeply satisfy-ing about roasting a whole chicken.
The aroma, the breathtaking golden color and the oohs-and-ahs you receive from family and friends are all so gratifying.
Roasting a half-chicken is perfect for dinner for two. The size is right, and if you and your dining partner prefer diferent parts of the chicken (one prefers white meat and the other likes dark), you’ll both be happy.
The Fresh Market and Whole Foods will do a special cut and sell you a half-chicken. If purchasing a whole chicken is your only option, you’ll need a good sharp knife or heavy-duty kitchen shears to cut it. Package the half you won’t be cooking securely, and freeze for use at a later date. Rinse, pat dry then tuck the tips of the wings behind the back for nicer presentation and so the entire breast browns.
To me, the best roast chicken is simply prepared. This chicken is seasoned with only salt, pepper and herbes de Provence, a dried blend of thyme, savory, marjoram, rosemary and lavender. While you can make your own, Penzeys sells a great blend (which is what I use).
A half-chicken is easier to manage than a whole chicken, so I like to sear it in a nonstick pan before it goes into the oven to ensure a crispy skin. A nonstick pan ensures you won’t lose any of the skin.
Garlic cloves, fresh thyme and rosemary sprigs are placed under the chicken in a white wine-chicken broth combination. In addition to the juices that fall from the chicken, this creates an amazingly lavorful sauce to serve alongside.
Dijon and rosemary-roasted in-gerling potatoes pair perfectly with the chicken and can be cooked in the same oven at the same temperature. Start the potatoes 15 minutes after the chicken so they’ll both be inished around the same time.
Some crusty bread, a fresh green salad or a simply cooked and seasoned green vegetable is all you need for a beautiful Provençal-inspired meal.

DINNER FOR TWO
When you turn the cal-endar page to October, you know it’s really happening — the fall season, with its shorter days, cooler tem-peratures, football, holi-days and more. There is a change in what we ind in the grocery store as well. We see more apples, fewer peaches and watermel-ons, and larger varieties of pears on grocery store shelves, and this leads us to make changes in what we choose to eat.
These traditional fall events and holidays are part of our culture, and there is comfort in it, as well as anticipation, and sometimes anxiety. But part of this transition into the later part of the calen-dar year also guides our food choices. Along with more seasonal foods, there are certain lavors we seem to gravitate toward — think pumpkin, apple, intoxicat-ing spices like cinnamon and cloves. Popcorn also seems a little more popu-lar during this time of year.
Maybe it’s the lon-ger, cooler nights, which
beckon us to snuggle un-der a quilt and escape the hustle-bustle of the world to watch a movie and enjoy a bowl of popcorn. There is someth ing so American about this tra-dition.
A m e r i -cans eat a lot of p o p c o r n . According to popcorn.org, we each eat approximately 51 quarts of the stuf per year, or about 15 billion total quarts eaten in the United States. Popcorn took a big jump in popularity in the 1990s and has not let up since. How-ever, it had been popular for centuries before that.
Ears of popping corn have been found in caves in New Mexico dating back 5,600 years. This is deinitely a snack with staying power.
While popcorn does not contain large amounts of nutrients, it does contain many nutrients in small amounts, including a lit-tle over 1 gram of iber per popped cup.
One nice qual-ity of popcorn is
that it blends well with
other la-vors. We like it in
its classic f o r m ,
with salt and a little butter, but it pairs well with other sa-vory lavors, and sweet ones too.
Today’s recipe mixes plain popcorn prepared without any fat, such as air-popped or micro-waved, with maple syrup,
butter, salt and a touch of cayenne pepper. This produces a sweet, buttery, salty, crunchy snack with just a little heat. If you are worried about the amount of heat, simply reduce the cayenne pepper.
You can use any grade of maple syrup you like. Out of the four grades of maple syrup, you are most likely to ind Grade A Medium Amber, or Grade B. They both are processed the same way, and have the same sugar content and density, but they are pro-duced at diferent points in the sugaring season. The lighter Grade A maple
syrup is from sap collect-ed earlier in the season, when the weather is
still very cool. It has a nice maple lavor and is a pretty amber color. Grade B maple syrup is produced toward the end of the season, as the weather is warming up and the maple trees are getting ready to bud. The color is almost as dark as molasses and has a more hard-core maple lavor. They are both tasty, and have the same
nutritional content, so it is really a personal prefer-ence when deciding which one to use.
While maple syrup is a sweetener like sugar, it does contain small amounts of trace miner-als and some B vitamins, while the nutritional col-umns for sugar are decid-edly vacant. While it is not
healthy to take in too much of any kind of sweetener, you can at least feel a little more righteous using ma-ple syrup over sugar.

The American Cancer Society estimates that up to one-third of all cancer deaths in the United States are related to life-style factors includ-ing diet, physical activity and weight. The foods and bev-erages used to fuel your body and the amount of move-ment incorporated into your daily rou-tine afect your can-cer risk, so what can you do to lower your cancer risk?
1. EAT REAL FOOD.No single miracle food exists;
however, whole or minimally processed foods serve as extra protection against cancer. Plant-based foods like fruits, vegetables and whole grains contain anti-oxidants. Just as avocados begin to turn brown after slicing due to oxidation, our cells also undergo oxidation. Environment, genetics, age and lifestyle factors cause the body to produce varying numbers of free radicals as by-products of oxidation. The good news: Plant-based foods provide antioxidants to arm our bodies and strengthen our cells against free radicals in the ight against cancer. You’ve heard how important it is to eat fruits and vegetables, but how can you be cer-tain you’re eating enough of them? Here’s a start … make half of each meal fruits, vegetables or a combi-nation of both. If this seems over-whelming, try these simple ideas.
■ Breakfast: Use pineapple and mango to create a Greek yogurt par-fait. Stir a big handful of berries into a bowl of oatmeal.
■ Lunch: Make a big salad with plenty of vegetables, beans, and fresh or dried fruits at the begin-ning of each week. Cover and chill the salad. When lunchtime comes, grab some salad and add a little protein and salad dressing for a balanced meal.
■ Dinner: Roast a pan of your favorite vegetables drizzled with olive oil.
2. DRINK WATER.Water is essential for transport-
ing nutrients and oxygen into cells and moving waste out. Carry a re-illable water bottle with you daily and aim to ill, drink and repeat several times throughout the day.
3. GET MOVING.Find activities you enjoy. Dance,
swim, garden or walk the dog. The choices are limitless, and variety is helpful in sustaining motivation to move.
Although weight is noted as a lifestyle factor that may afect can-cer risk, health is more important than a number on the scale. If you are eating “real” food, honoring your body’s natural hunger and fullness cues, hydrating and incor-porating physical activity, weight will usually fall into an appropriate range for your body type.

Herb and garlic-roasted chicken with Dijon-roasted fingerling potatoes
HERB AND GARLIC-ROASTED CHICKEN AND DIJON AND ROSEMARY-ROASTED FINGERLING POTATOES
Blair Mize
Serves 2.Chicken:
INGREDIENTS
8-10 cloves garlic, peeled and halved — fresh thyme sprigs — fresh rosemary sprigs ½ cup chicken broth ½ whole roasting chicken (about 2¼
pounds), rinsed and patted dry — salt and black pepper, to taste 1 tablespoon herbes de Provence 2 tablespoons olive oil ¼ cup dry white wine
DIRECTIONS
1 Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place gar-lic cloves, thyme, rosemary and chicken broth in a roasting pan fitted with a wire rack.
2 Season the chicken with salt and black pepper. Sprinkle with herbes de Provence.
3 Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet or saute pan over medium-high heat. Place chicken skin side down and sear 3-4 minutes or until skin is golden. Carefully turn it skin side up and transfer to pre-pared roasting pan.
4 Add wine to skillet and bring just to a boil, then pour along with any pan drip-
pings into roasting pan. Roast 15 min-utes. Reduce oven temperature to 400 degrees and cook another 45 minutes or until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh (being careful not to touch bone) registers 165 degrees and juices run clear.
5 Let chicken rest 5 minutes before carv-ing. Strain pan juices into a small serv-ing bowl. Serve chicken with potatoes (see below) and the pan juice with the chicken.
Potatoes:
INGREDIENTS
¾ pound fingerling potatoes, halved lengthwise
1 tablespoon olive oil 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard 2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary — salt and black pepper, to taste
DIRECTIONS
1 Line a baking sheet with nonstick aluminum foil. Toss potatoes with oil, mustard, rosemary, salt and black pep-per. Place the potatoes, cut side down on the prepared baking sheet. Roast the potatoes 30 minutes, turn them over and continue roasting another 15 min-utes.

Home & Garden
Getting away for a few days to learn and laugh with friends always feeds my mind and my soul.
Beautiful fall weather, gorgeous lake views and a focus on gardens and nature added extra plea-sure recently when about 100 garden-clubbers con-vened at the Inn at Pick-wick Landing State Park for the annual conserva-tion camp put on by the Tennessee Federation of Garden Clubs.
It was the kind of “camp-ing” I enjoy, with comfy indoor beds, hot showers and meals prepared by professional hands. Dei-nitely not roughin’ it, and that’s A-OK by me.
Memphians Julie Wil-son and Suzy Askew — each known for her abil-ity to devise experiences that expand creativity and knowledge — were in charge of programming.
They illed their own vehicles and those of four other attendees to capac-ity with materials for the hands-on craft projects that included collages made with natural items, accordion booklets es-pousing on the allure of rocks; “flowers” made with pine cones and mag-nolia leaves; miniature Japanese-style dry gardens and a loral design featur-ing the artful placement of lower and leaf stems into horizontal “logs” of fat bamboo canes.
I’m not so great at craft-ing, but I did enjoy seeing how participants selected and used materials in their own unique ways.
Making magnolia low-ers is so easy even I can do it. All you have to do is stick magnolia leaves in between the scales of the pine cones. Cutting a notch at the end of the leaf and dabbing it with a bit of glue makes them stick.
You can make them
with the green side of the leaf up or turn them over to reveal a velvety brown underside.
My mental wheels turned to the idea of using the lowers down the cen-ter of my Thanksgiving ta-ble interspersed with some of the pine cone-shaped candles I’ve been buying at estate sales to use at an appropriate occasion.
I can’t begin to report all of the facts presented by the speakers but I can give you a tiny taste from two of them:
■ The best overall feed for attracting birds to your backyard is black oil sun-lowers seeds, said Mary Schmidt, curator of ani-mals at Lichterman Nature Center.
Finches love thistle seeds and bluebirds are en-ticed to feeders containing dried mealworms, which are available in pet stores and specialty stores.
Avoid common, inex-
pensive bird seed mixes. Birds will often scratch the unwanted seeds in the mix, which is most of them, into your lawn or lower beds where they may sprout into weeds.
■ Don’t leave soil in your vegetable gardens bare over the winter, said Chris Cosby, senior manager of gardens at the Memphis Botanic Garden. Instead sow a cover crop such as annual crimson clover, a cool season legume that adds nitrogen to the soil and stimulates growth of earthworms.
If you cut it before the seeds form, you will not have a problem with it re-turning as weed during the summer.
Cosby doesn’t turn his cover crop under the ground, a physically dii-cult task often recommend-ed. Instead he allows them to naturally decompose on top of the soil or moves them to a compost pile.
He never uses a mechan-ical tiller in his garden. Or-ganic materials generated in the garden — clippings, leaves and manure from his chickens — are allowed to decompose naturally to en-rich the soil. Earthworms provide aeration.
Building this kind of gar-
den isn’t fast, but patience leads to a terriically rich soil and strong plants that need no help from synthet-ic fertilizers or pesticides.
DAFFODIL DAYS
Daffodil enthusiasts from all over America and beyond will convene in Memphis on Friday and Saturday for the fall board meeting and symposium of the American Dafodil Society.
Brian Duncan, one of the speakers at the event, will also present a lecture for area gardeners at 2 p.m. Sunday at Dixon Gallery and Gardens.
Duncan, an internation-ally-known dafodil expert and hybridizer from North-ern Ireland, will speak on “Snowdrops and Dafodils” at the event which is free
The Mid-South Dafodil Society, which is sponsor-ing Duncan’s appearance, will also have a sale of daf-fodil bulbs selected espe-cially for our climate and soil conditions from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Nov. 1, also at the Dixon.
