Four state constitutionalamendments, wine in foodstores referendums and asomewhat competitive U.S. Senate race don’t seem tobe magnets to drive ShelbyCounty voters to the polls.

As of the close of polls Tues-day, ten percent of Shelby Coun-ty registered voters have cast ballots in early vot- i n g for the Nov. 4 general elec-tion, a igure that lags behindthe most recent comparableelection in 2010.

The SCEC reported 8,749voters cast their ballotsTuesday, the highest dailytotal of the period. Suburbanlocations, led by New BethelMissionary Baptist Churchin Germantown and Collier-ville Church of Christ, lead the turnout.

Voters 55 and older makeup 71 percent of the early vote;those 34 and under make up6 percent.

Early voting continuesthrough today from 7 a.m. to7 p.m. at 21 Shelby County lo-cations in advance of the Nov.4 general election.

With pumpkin patches popping up all over town, one knows that fall has i-nally arrived, and with it, the annual Au Pair Care pumpkin carving event.

While carving pump-kins is an American tradi-tion, many au pairs have never participated in this fun tradition.

Shelby Farms Park pro-vided the perfect back-drop for these au pairs to learn the “art” of carving a pumpkin.

Julian Minnert of Ger-many wistfully told area director Kelcie Phillips of Germantown that this would be his last au pair event in the U.S., as he re-turns to Germany soon af-ter completing his second

year with the program. Minnert brought with

him the four children for whom he cares, as well as another friend.

Phillips said, “This event generally brings among the highest atten-

dance of my monthly au pair activities. I love being a part of the lives of each of my au pairs. They are amazing men and women who bring so much cul-tural diversity to each of the families with whom

they live.” On Halloween night,

trick or treaters may ind themselves at the door of a home with a jack ‘o lantern carved by someone from Spain, Macedonia, Italy, El Salvador or Brazil.

Last Friday, Collierville’s historic Town Square was the place to be.

Youngsters had a chance to celebrate Halloween a week early for the ifth annual Scare on the Square. Those in atten-dance collected candy from the many merchants that line the Square.

Meanwhile, the gazebo was surrounded by booths where face painting, nail

painting, balloon blowing and other crafts were taking place.

The roadway in front of the depot was lined with games where families encouraged young players in the “witch ring toss” and pumpkin bowl-ing.

As with every year, the Collierville Junior Auxiliary partnered with the Main Street Collierville to present Scare on the Square. Oicials estimated that 1,500 people at-tended this year’s event.

The city of Memphis is installing 31 new traf-ic cameras to catch driv-ers speeding through red lights.

The installation of the cameras has begun and should be complete next month, said Jason Norton, a vice president at Ameri-can Traic Solutions.

ATS is installing the new cameras, as it did

the earlier ones when the program began in 2009. When complete, the city will have 57 cameras at 30 intersections.

Warning signs will alert drivers that the cameras are in use at the intersections, officials said. Although some of the cameras are already operational, Norton said, authorities will only be is-suing warning notices for a while. After that, anyone caught running a red light is subject to a $50 ine.

“This is a win-win for Memphians. The safety program is funded by vio-lators and not taxpayers.

Any revenue from the program goes back in to helping keep Memphis safe by providing funds for police car dash cam-eras and neighborhood watch programs,” city chief administrative oi-cer George Little said in a prepared statement.

According to Norton, the city is inancing the cameras through a Bank of America loan. For the next ive years, the city will pay approximately $4,000 a month for each camera; that igure includes the cost of the loan as well as a $2,100 monthly service fee to ATS.

That fee includes main-tenance, insulation, pro-cessing the photos and ines as well as the Internet service, Norton said. ATS does not receive a cut of the money raised by cita-tions.

Once the city pays of the cost of the cameras through the money raised from ines, it will then just be obligated for the ATS monthly fee, Norton said.

The city approved the expenditure for the cam-eras in its budget for the next iscal year.

Although these cameras have only been authorized to catch red-light scolaws,

they could easily be modi-ied to catch speeders and those with expired license

plates, Norton said. How-ever, the city would have toauthorize that expansion.

GCT brings mystery with Agatha Christie

Like pumpkins and trick-or-treating, Germantown Community Theatre’s an-nual fall staging of a maca-bre mystery by venerated crime writer Agatha Chris-tie has become a Hallow-een tradition.

The company’s lat-est Christie production, “Go Back For Murder,” runs Thursdays-Sundays through Nov. 9 at the the-ater at 3037 Forest Hill-Irene Road.

“I think for the die-hard Agatha Christie fans, this will hopefully be enjoyable because it retains all the great things that make her writing so fantastic,” says director Ryan Kathman. “But for anyone who’s like, ‘Eh, I don’t know if I’m interested in that. That sounds like something my grandparents would go see,’ ... I think you might be surprised.”

Cohen Sloan said his 2-year-old brother, Charlie Quinn, was always getting into things.

“Like hand sanitizer,” he said.So on June 2, when 8-year-old

Cohen was playing inside his Ger-mantown home with his cousin and realized he hadn’t seen Char-lie for a little while, he went to ind him.

“I saw somebody laying in the pool, and it was my little brother,” Cohen said.

Charlie, Cohen’s half-brother, was fully dressed and face-down in the water. He was close enough to the edge for Cohen to reach into the pool, grab his brother by the shoulders and pull him onto land.

Cohen then ran into the house, alerted his grandmother and called 911. He said a few words to the dispatcher before handing the phone to his grandmother.

The boys’ mother, Jessica Sloan, said they did the math later and realized Charlie could have been in the water as long as 20 minutes. He was without a heart-

beat for 45 minutes, but survived and spent two months at Le Bon-heur Children’s Hospital.

Sloan said when she learned what Cohen had done, she was “more proud than surprised.”

Cohen, a Boy Scout who loves football, baseball and basketball, was honored for his bravery last Thursday at Farmington Ele-mentary, where he is in the third grade.

Germantown police presented Cohen with the Certiicate of Ser-vice civilian award, the highest honor the department gives to someone who is not a police of-icer.

The presentation was a sur-prise. About two dozen Ger-mantown police officers and dispatchers, along with a few ireighters, came to Farming-ton for what the third-graders were told was an assembly about safety.

Deputy Chief Rodney Bright asked the audience how many thought it took bravery and cour-age to be a police oicer, and then reminded the students they don’t have to be a police oicer or a ire-ighter to be just as brave.

“Who thinks that even third-

graders can be brave and coura-geous when things get scary?” Bright asked. With every kid rais-ing a hand, Bright asked if they knew Cohen’s story. Most said they did.

“He really did some grown-up things,” Bright said before bringing Cohen onto the cafete-ria stage, where he and Lt. Bill Stemmler presented Cohen with his award and adorned his head with a Germantown police hat.

He was about to leave the stage when from behind the curtain came a shiny new red mountain bike with a lashing headlight, donated by Target. Cohen’s eyes, which had been squinting for pic-tures with his new award, doubled in size, as did his smile.

Cohen said later he knew some-thing was up in the morning.

“My mom said there’s going to be a tiny surprise today,” he said. And when he arrived in the caf-eteria, he said, “I looked over and I got a little embarrassed because my whole family was here.”

Little brother Charlie was home, unable to attend; the ac-cident left him with severe cog-nitive injuries, but he is making progress with movement and communication.

Sloan said she was glad to see Cohen recognized by the commu-nity, even though his family tells him regularly that he’s a hero.

Seven County Commis-sioners — six Democrats and a Republican — iled a lawsuit Monday in Chan-cery Court to seek clarii-cation on the authority of commission chairman Justin Ford.

The lawsuit against Ford stems from a reso-lution that Republican Commissioner Steve Ba-sar submitted twice, but was pulled by Ford from a committee agenda.

The case is in Chancel-

lor Walter Evans’ court and a hearing on a temporary restraining order is sched-uled for 10 a.m. Nov. 6.

Ford could not be reached for comment.

“It’s over a procedural matter,” Basar said. “He approves the agenda and he has taken that to mean he can strike items from the agenda.”

For the Oct. 8 commit-tee meeting, Basar submit-ted a resolution to change the commission’s rules to allow times to be added to the agenda with a simple majority instead of a two-thirds majority.

Ford asked Basar to re-submit that item for the Oct. 22 committee meet-ing, but Ford then struck the item from the agenda.

“This speciically ad-dresses the right of Com-missioner Basar and myself as co-sponsor, ul-timately, to pursue having items on the committee agenda without arbitrary interference, without them being precluded or blocked,” he said. “

The commission’s rules say the commission chair-man approves the agenda. But, the lawsuit said, those rules do not “vest

the Chair with unbridled discretion to preclude or defeat items at the Admin-istrative level.”

It asks for a temporary restraining order, a pre-liminary injunction and a permanent injunction against Ford.

County attorney Marcy Ingram said her oice has not been oicially served, but it has engaged outside counsel to represent Ford.

“There will be some concern whether or not our oice would be con-licted because we repre-sent both the plaintif and the defendants,” Ingram

said. “So to err on the side of caution, we just decided to engage outside counsel to remove that issue from the lawsuit.”

Besides Bailey and Ba-sar, the other plaintifs in the lawsuit are Willie Brooks, Melvin Burgess, Eddie Jones, Reginald Milton and Van Turner, who is serving as Bailey’s co-counsel.

“They feel as I do that the chairman doesn’t nec-essarily have the right to arbitrarily strike things from the agenda, especially when they’ve been proper-ly submitted,” Basar said.

Dana Mann was 35 years old in November 2011 when her doctor found a tumor in her left breast during a routine mammogram.

Through her battle with breast cancer, which included surgery, eight rounds of che-motherapy and 33 rounds of radiation, she looked for some-thing positive in each day. On Valentine’s Day 2012, she and her boyfriend, Chris Sloan, shaved their heads together, she said.

“I believe a positive attitude and a great outlook on life will help get you through even the hardest of times,” she said. “You can’t give up, you know. You can’t let it win. You have to fight every day.”

Now in remission, Mann joined more than 10,000 peo-ple last Saturday at Carriage Crossing in Collierville for the 22nd annual Race for the Cure, the annual fundraiser sponsored by Susan G. Ko-men Memphis-MidSouth for breast cancer research and awareness.

“It’s very emotional,” Mann said. “You get to see the other survivors, the other support teams, the other people in the area who care enough to give.”

Elaine Hare, executive di-rector of Susan G. Komen Memphis-MidSouth, said Sat-urday that $750,000 had been raised from sponsorships, reg-istrations and donations. The organization hopes to reach $1

million, and fundraising lasts until Nov. 24.

The event supports breast cancer screenings, education and treatment, according to the local organization, which has contributed millions of dollars to local breast health programs and national breast cancer re-search. The organization sup-ports 14 Tennessee counties and seven Mississippi counties.

Thousands of people, some wearing elaborate pink outfits or wigs, bunny ears or tutus, gathered for the race.

“This is what I call a great Memphis moment,” said em-cee Ron Olson.

One female and one male winner of the 5K last Satur-day were named. Marda Kai-ser-Rehnelt, 40, and Cameron Thomas, 32, were the winners.

For 20 years, the event was held at The Shops of Saddle Creek in Germantown, but moved to the larger Carriage Crossing setting last year to accommodate the crowds.

Jacqueline Smith, 51, and Shirley Shanklin, 57, came to the event with family mem-bers to honor their sister, Cyn-thia Carter, who died in 2011.

“I’m glad to be here today, and I plan to do it every year in memory of my sister,” Shank-lin said. “It brings back mem-ories. She was a great part of our lives.”

Organization sends veterans

back to famous World War II sites

By Daniel HightSpecial to The Weekly

The Forever Young Senior Veterans Organization had the honor of return-ing D-Day and Battle of the Bulge veterans back to

Europe to honor the 70th anniversa-ries of the historic battles.

In June, there were many special moments on the beaches of Nor-mandy, like meeting President Ron-ald Reagan’s son, Michael Reagan, who came to honor our Mid-South heroes. The veterans also signed hundreds of autographs and expe-rienced gratitude from people all over the world.

Battle of the Bulge veteran Bernard Malkin reads a letter that was sent to him from a kindergarten class.

I never imagined I’d come back to Belgium after 70 years. Finding the castle where I was taken when I was wounded at the Battle of the

Bulge was an unbelievable experience.”

Jesse Davis, 101st Airborne Paratrooper

“I never would have believed we’d receive such a warm welcome,” said Earl Williams, who was deployed on Utah Beach. “I’m very surprised.” Many of the veterans were over-whelmed by the positive reception.

“The war would have been a lot better if we’d received all this attention the irst time we came,” D-Day veteran Bob Richards said. He added with a smile, “I feel we made a diference in the world.”

In September, 11 men who fought in Belgium and Luxembourg had the opportunity to go back to honor their 70th anniversary as well.

Touring the two countries aforded the men an opportunity to seek out the exact locations where their units fought. During their trav-els, the vets had a chance to look for foxholes, castles, hotels and towns they passed through during the war. It was a once-in-a-lifetime expe-rience for the men — many of whom had never been back.

“I never imagined I’d come back to Belgium after 70 years,” said Jesse Davis, a 101st Airborne Paratrooper. “Finding the castle where I was taken when I was wounded at the Battle of the Bulge was an unbelievable experience.”

In 2015, Forever Young will take vets to Italy and the Paciic. If you are interested in a trip, or want to help send one of these heroes back to where they fought, call 901-299-7516 or visit foreveryoungseniorwish.org.

Daniel Hight is the executive director for Forever Young Senior

Veterans.

The five buildings that make up Germantown Municipal Schools have $23 million in deferred maintenance costs, dis-trict operations manager Josh Cathey said last Friday, and that number does not include $7 mil-lion it would cost for a permanent building on the Riverdale campus to replace portable class-rooms.

Supt. Jason Manuel said any school district will always have a capital im-provement to-do list, but at the start of the new dis-trict, the need is high.

“We really haven’t had capital improvements at our schools for three to four years,” Manuel said. “It’s larger than normal.”

How to prioritize those needs and balance them with a plan to grow the district was the subject of last Friday’s meeting with Manuel, Cathey, other members of the adminis-tration and the district’s planner. Board members Ken Hoover and Lisa

Parker also attended, along with city economic and community development director Cameron Ross and PTA members.

While updating the current buildings is a pri-ority, Manuel said the dis-trict needs to think years ahead.

“Where we are right now with our current needs doesn’t address our future growth,” he said, even when the number of nonresidents attending a Germantown school is subtracted.

Cathey said the cost for a new elementary school would be about $15 million, though a $30 million figure had been batted about this campaign season. “Divide that by two, you’re getting closer. Around $15 million. And that’s a really nice el-ementary school.”

However, the $15 million would not include pur-chasing land or outfitting the building with technol-ogy, furniture and other soft-cost needs.

Cathey said the num-ber is based on a square-footage projection of what it would cost to build a school exactly the size of

Farmington or Dogwood Elementary schools, which each have around 800 stu-dents.

Manuel said $15 million is also the number the in-surance company gave the district as the amount it would take to replace one of the elementary schools if they were knocked down.

Even if the district built a new elementary school to service the south side of the city, it would not elimi-nate the need for updates to the other five schools.

Cathey said the $23 million price tag would put each school in either “good” or “excellent” con-dition. Houston Middle had the smallest costs for repairs at just over $3 mil-lion. Factoring in replacing the portable classrooms, Riverdale’s projected costs are over $11 million. Houston High is almost $7 million, Farmington is $3.6 million and Dogwood is $4.6 million.

“You do it in phases,” Cathey said. “You pri-oritize what can wait and what needs to be done immediately to keep the school functional.”

A top priority, other than Riverdale’s por-tables, is Farmington’s windows. The district is looking to replace them

using the $975,000 allo-cated this year from the Shelby County Board of Commissioners for capital improvements.

Cathey said he has

another $340,000 in his budget for such improve-ments, but will wait until closer to the end of the fis-cal year to spend it in case of an emergency mainte-

nance issue.Board member Hoover

said getting rid of River-dale’s portables is a top pri-ority, but must be looked at as part of a long-term plan.

Special to The Weekly

Every fall, students across Ten-nessee create posters to raise awareness of National Fire Prevention Week, as estab-lished by the National Fire

Protection Association. This year’s theme is “Working Smoke Alarms Save Lives; Test Yours Every Month!”

The Collierville Fire Department re-ceived 34, school-level, winning entries this year from both public and private Collierville schools. Thirteen posters, one from each grade level, were selected by ire department personnel to repre-

sent Collierville at the statewide compe-tition, which will be held in December.

Tennessee has one of the highest ire death rates in the country. Last year, 70 percent of fatal ires happened in homes without a working smoke alarm. By creatively participating in this con-test, students learn the importance of early ire detection, including how and when to test smoke alarms and smoke alarm placement.

Cole Waycaster, a sixth-grader from Collierville Middle School, reminds us to test smoke alarms monthly by pushing the alarm’s test button until the alarm sounds. A second-grader from Crosswind Elementary School, Jordan Lewin, created a poster to il-lustrate proper smoke alarm placement — a house diagram with smoke alarms in each bedroom, on each level of the house and outside each sleeping area.

Not only do the students learn about smoke alarm safety, but the posters’ messages can be shared with family, friends, classmates and neighbors.

Winning posters will be sent to Nashville to the State Fire Marshal’s Oice for judging Dec. 8-12. The state-wide winners will be honored at an awards ceremony at the Tennessee Fire Service and Code Enforcement Acad-emy in February. Last year, three Col-lierville students won at the state level and the Collierville Fire Department is hoping for a similar result this year.

Josh Clark, head of Bodine School, had long suspected that the stress of poverty shorted the cir-cuitry of brain, and while neurologically diferent, the misiring looked and acted a lot like dyslexia.

Last summer, when he was driving and listening on tape to Paul Tough’s “How Children Succeed: Grit, Curiosity, and the Hidden Power of Charac-ter,” he nearly drove of the road.

“We knew that students coming from low-socio-economic backgrounds often have language and literacy skills similar to a dyslexic learner. We ini-tially attributed it exclu-sively to environment, but as we read Tough’s work, we understood the envi-ronment was actually in-hibiting the development of working memory.”

Working memory, sometimes called short-term memory, is the agil-ity it takes to hold an idea to produce an output.

“If you give children a series of numbers and let-ters, they will most likely be able to repeat them back,” Clark said. “If you say, now repeat them back in numerical and alpha-betical order, that requires working memory.”

Through its Erika Cen-ter — in memory of sixth-grader Erika Yunkun — Bodine is ofering other teachers free access to its staf training for teaching children with dyslexia.

This summer, for in-stance, it ofered a ive-day course on multisen-

sory strategies in math and reading. Teachers attend-ed from the Achievement School Districts, Teach for America, Literacy Mid-South, KIPP Memphis and DeSoto County Public Schools.

“The strategies might include inger spelling,” said Clark. “You spell the words in the air, intro-ducing kinesthetic move-ment, as you decode those sounds or units of sound. Another is introducing a sound with a key word and a motion, giving the brain diferent triggers to process that sound.”

Two weeks ago, it of-fered a two-day session in reading, helping teach-ers incorporate strategies that use diferent brain pathways, important for children who struggle with reading the way it is traditionally taught.

“The training was ex-tremely helpful, mostly because it extended my knowledge about dys-lexia and supporting stu-dents who are challenged with reading and writ-ing,” said Betsy Whipple, a third-grade teacher at St. George’s Independent School.

Bodine’s work is under-scored by indings from research released in 2009 at Cornell University. Over 14 years, researchers col-lected data on 195 children, some living in poverty, some not.

At age 17, the students took tests to measure their working memory. Those who spent their childhoods in poverty scored about 20 percent lower in working memory than those who were never poor.

Stress produces a se-ries of hormones to help the body escape danger. Cortisol is one of them. Studies of brain cells in test tubes of cortisol show nerve cells do not grow as aggressively and don’t produce as many connec-tions.

“Poverty itself does not mean all these things are going to happen,” said Dr. Hank Herrod, pediatri-cian and fellow at the Ur-ban Child Institute. “But if you think about our com-munity, where people who are most impoverished tend to be single parents, you can see their worries are: ‘How am I going to pay rent? Where will I get food for the next meal? Who is going to take care of my child if I do have a job?’ ”

For years, Bodine ad-ministrators have wanted to extend the school’s reach. Most studies show that 15 to 20 percent of the population has some form of dyslexia. In Shelby County, that means about 40,000 children.

“When we were plan-ning the Erika Center, we figured we needed $200,000 to get it of the ground,” Clark says. “And then, an anonymous donor, who had no idea what our plans were, gave $200,000. The only restriction was it had to be tied to the mem-ory of Erika.”

Bodine, in Germantown, also ofers a few services for fee, including helping families in other schools analyze their needs based on test scores and other diagnostics. It also ofers free workshops and talks. But most of the money is directed to helping public school teachers.

Current and former Shelby County Schools board members, along with Germantown city leaders, are disputing a claim that SCS would have given Germantown control of at least one “3G” school but the city’s nego-tiators turned it down.

City Administrator Pat-rick Lawton said if it’s true that the SCS board would have ofered up German-town Elementary during negotiations last year, he never heard about it. Mayor Sharon Goldswor-thy added, “We were never ofered a sixth school un-der any terms.”

The claim came in an e-mail signed by former SCS board member David Pickler and sent through the campaign of German-town mayoral candidate George Brogdon last Tues-day afternoon.

In the e-mail, titled “The REAL reason we lost our schools,” Pick-ler, a Germantown resi-dent, said, “... we had the votes to keep German-town Elementary, and it looked good to keep Germantown Middle as well. I was stunned when Germantown’s leaders passed up the opportunity to keep our Germantown schools.”

“Never once did any of them say we’ve got the votes to get this for you,” Lawton said. “And never once did Mr. Pickler stand

up and say, ‘The votes are in line to get you G e r m a n -town El-ementary.’”

German-town El-ementary, Middle and

High schools are within Germantown city limits, but Shelby County Schools voted to hold onto those schools and not allow them to join the German-town Municipal School District.

Pickler said via phone last Wednesday that the board voted to give only ive schools to German-town because by that time, Germantown leaders had contacted Shelby County negotiators to say they were moving ahead with-out the namesake schools, known as the “3Gs.”

Pickler said it was his opinion that there could have been at least four SCS board votes to give Germantown at least the elementary school, but the only contract they were given to vote on was for the ive schools.

“We were never even given the opportunity to have the debate,” he said.

Nathan Bicks, the at-torney for Germantown through the debates, said Pickler didn’t have the chance to debate the issue because he wasn’t part of the negotiating team. He said Germantown decided just before the SCS vote on Oct. 28, 2013, to take the

ive schools being ofered, and continue a separate push to get Germantown Elementary.

“It was either take the ive or get nothing, and we said we’ll take the ive,” Bicks said. “We fought to the very end.”

After the vote, through the end of November, Germantown leaders sub-mitted documents to SCS outlining its oferings to Shelby County, which in-cluded use of athletic ields and continued funding of the Germantown High School television station, in exchange for German-town Elementary. The pro-posal was rejected.

SCS board member Kevin Woods, who was the chairman of the board during the negotiations, said the board voted on the ive-school contract based on the recommen-dation from Supt. Dorsey Hopson.

Fellow board member Chris Caldwell said a con-tract giving Germantown any of the 3Gs “would nev-er have gotten my vote.”

Board member Billy Or-gel, who was the appointed board member involved in the negotiations, said, “As a board, we voted to keep those three schools. I don’t remember any subsequent discussion or votes” to change that.

The final SCS board vote was 5-1 with Pick-ler dissenting and board member David Reaves ab-staining.

Goldsworthy said if Picker thought he had the votes to get Germantown an extra school, “Why would you not tell us you’ve got the votes lined up?”

Jessica Nichole Minton is a science teacher at Riverdale Elementary School.

JESSICA NICHOLE MINTONRiverdale Elementary, eighth-grade science/honors physical science

Q What do you like most about your school?

A The sense of community and family, we are close and are

there for one another. From the mo-ment I walked in the door, I knew that there was something special about Riverdale.

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

A Science because I could ex-periment and learn about the

world around me.

Q What was your most challenging subject as a kid and why?

A Art because I can’t even draw a stick igure straight. I used to

cry because I was terrible.

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

A Helping my students live up to the potential they have while

balancing the state requirements. I don’t ever want my students to forget that they are more than numbers.

Q What do you hope to accomplish as an educator?

A I want to inspire students and be their biggest cheerleader

as they discover and follow their dreams.

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

A When a student has an “ah-ha” moment, the look when they

learn something they struggled with, that speaks volumes. Though being awarded with the NSTA New Science Teacher Fellowship was a huge professional opportunity that I treasure, it helped me strive to be a better teacher.

Q Who is the person you most ad-mire?

A My mom because I watched her as a teachers’ assistant for

a long time, then we went to college and graduated community college together before going to diferent universities. She is a literary spe-cialist and continues to push me to be the best I can be.

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

A Two weeks into kindergarten, I came home and told my mom

I was going to be a teacher and to watch me do it. She said I always experimented on things so focus-ing on science was not a surprise.

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

A I went through elementary school in Yokota, Japan. We

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

A A biomedical engineer or re-searcher working for a pedi-

atric hospital trying to ind cures to childhood diseases and cancers.

Q What would you do with $1 mil-lion?

A Invest it, continue to teach, then make a diference with

the interest that would accrue (I would love to see more teachers have what they need in the class-room without struggling to get supplies).

Q If you could change one thing in the world what would it be:?

A The amount of hatred toward others. It breaks my heart that

so many fantastic people are not given a chance because of hatred, prejudices and stereotypes. I would love to see more unity and accep-tance.

Christian Brothers High School seniors Henry Atkin-son and Myles Joyce of Ger-mantown were named National Merit Semiinalists by the Na-tional Merit Scholarship Corp. As juniors, they scored among the top 1 percent of students on the PSAT, the National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test.

Nicholas Azar, Joey Forche-rio, Philip Krog of Cordova, Sid-darth Nair of Collierville and Tommy Zoccola were named National Merit Commended Scholars. Although these stu-dents will not continue in the 2015 competition for National Merit Scholarship awards,

Commended Scholars placed among the top ive percent of more than 1.5 million juniors who took the PSAT last fall.

“We are very proud of these young men for their academic achievement,” said Chris Fay, CBHS principal. “We commend them for their commitment to excellence and determination. Our comprehensive and chal-lenging academic program en-ables us to challenge all of our students and inspire tremen-dous growth.”

“Both Henry and Myles have surpassed everyone’s expecta-tions of excellence,” said Valerie Jones, CBHS director of college counseling. “These young men have served as stellar leaders in school and community organi-

zations while simultaneously engaging in the most rigorous academic regimen. Each has also achieved status as an ‘AP Scholar with Distinction’ while exemplifying impeccable char-acter both inside and outside the classroom.”

Also, 63 CBHS students were recently named AP Scholars, a record number of students mak-ing this achievement in the his-tory of Christian Brothers High School.

“Our Advancement Place-ment program has grown over the last three years and our faculty continues to do an out-standing job of preparing these young men for both the AP exam and future college cours-es,” said Fay. “These scores are a result of great teaching and a strong commitment to student development.”

The Immaculate Heart of Mary Award for dedication, commitment, self-sacriice and kindness to everyone was given to Holliman. Slavinsky received the St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Award for classroom innovation. These were well deserved recognitions of beloved teachers at OLPH School.

Jenna Fergus, an art teacher

at Briarcrest, recently had her artwork on dis-

play at Memphis College of Art’s Artist/Teacher

Juried Exhibition 2014.

By Beth RooksSpecial to The Weekly

This year, the Tennessee Art Educa-tors Association conference was held at Memphis College of Art.

Briarcrest high school art teacher Jenna Fergus had a prominent art ex-hibition that was chosen along with 23 other art teacher/artists for the MCA Artist/Teacher Juried Exhibition 2014.

Fergus’ clothesline art was also selected this summer to hang in the prestigious Tennessee Arts Academy Fourth Annual TAEA Member Art Exhibition. Her work about legacy and hospitality showed throughout July and August in the Leu Visual Art Building on the campus of Belmont University. Jenna was awarded third place from among the gifted artist-teachers from the State of Tennessee.

Most recently, the international or-ganization, Art of Education, chose

Fergus to be an ambassador. Jessica Balsley, creator and leader

of the AOE, is determined to ofer the most accessible, practical and relevant professional development for art teach-ers available on the globe.

Houston Levee elementary art teacher Tonya Loyd irst introduced Fergus to the AOE conferences two summers ago. After one conference she was hooked.

Art of Education has now become a real encouragement for her as she goes about her daily routine ofering six dif-ferent levels of art in some 20 diferent media to more than 120 students each day. Being selected to represent AOE is a joy because she gets to share her connections to relevant professional development with art educators all over the State of Tennessee.

“Robinwood Retirement Community,

near the Whitten exit off I-40, offers an

exciting lifestyle and the freedom to

appreciate what’s most important, friends

and family. Our youngest resident is 61, our

most Senior Senior just turned 103,” said

Manager Joshua Brown.

“If you’re looking to downsize, or if the

maintenance and upkeep of your house has

gotten to be too much for you or your loved

one[s], an independent living apartment

at Robinwood Retirement Community ills

a deinite need,” he said. “Studio, one-,

two- and three-bedroom apartments are

spacious, beautifully-designed living

spaces that include fully-equipped kitchens,

luxurious private baths, washer-dryer

connections, and more. Our patio homes

have additional amenities including raised

ceilings, a dining room area, washer/dryer

included, and a two-car garage.”

Robinwood is a short drive from Shelby

Farms Park, in a quiet and safe area that

was once known as Robinwood Farms.

Robinwood’s on-site managers and

professional staff give peace and comfort

to residents and their families 24 hours a

day. At the push of a button, someone is

available around the clock, in the event of

an emergency.

“It’s a hard move to make,” said resident

Betty Anderson. “A real decision to be

thought out, but after my husband and

I moved here he said it was absolutely the

best decision we’d made and I agree. We’re

so glad to be here at Robinwood. The staff

truly cares, you feel love here, and they are

here for you 24 hours a day.”

“One additional beneit of downsizing

at Robinwood,” Brown continued, “is the

simplicity it offers our residents without

asking them to sacriice anything.One

monthly payment to Robinwood, instead

of paying bills to restaurants and grocery

stores, to utility companies for water,

electricity, cable and phone companies,

to housekeepers, to home maintenance

companies to landscapers, and to the

government for property taxes and the like.

All that and more is included when you live

at Robinwood.”

Robinwood’s “Freedom Dining” is a

feature that truly sets it apart from other

retirement communities in the Memphis

area. All meals are included in the price of

the rent, so residents do not have to pay

an additional charge each time they eat. In

addition, ‘Freedom Dining’ at Robinwood

means that each of our three chef-prepared

meals is served daily within a casual time

window that enables residents to eat on

their own schedules. “You chose when you

sit down to eat,” Brown said. “Residents

also have access to our Chef’s Pantry, where

residents can enjoy a delicious sandwich,

snacks, drinks, fruit and more, 24 hours

a day – all at no additional charge. Room

service and meals to-go are also available

for no extra fee.”

“Wewere so impressedwithhow friendly,

professional, and polite the staff was when

we toured Robinwood. ”Residents Pervis

andMary Nell Ballew commented. “Imagine

our delight when we realized that it wasn’t

an act, continuing to get the red carpet

treatment after moving in.”

Interested people can experience

Robinwood’s family-friendly lifestyle by

scheduling a tour. Tours are offered seven

days a week. Brown said, “When youmake a

decision to give us a try, your rent is month-

to-month with a full 30-day money-back

guarantee. Our residents have saved their

entire lives; the last thing a Senior wants to

do is to sign his or her life away.”

Brown also said there are many

opportunities each month for residents

to enjoy unique, adult activities. This past

month, Robinwood hosted a complimentary

blues concert with renowned artist, Joyce

Cobb, a health fair with local vendors, and

a Halloween Party for kids, grandkids, and

great-grandkids. Monthly trips toTunica are

alsoverypopular.“I think it is really important

to give our residents the opportunity to do

fun, outside-the-box activities,” he said.

“Recently, 93-year-old resident, Blanche

Berner expressedan interest togoskydiving.

With her friends and family in tow, we as

a community took a ield trip to a nearby

airield to watch Blanche, her daughter, and

our executive chef jump from 10000 feet.”

I have been fortunate enough to be able to watch New Day Children’s The-atre swell in talent and stature for many years, both as theatergoer and participant.

Many years ago, before I knew those involved, I saw my first show at New Day — and with each produc-tion since they have raised the bar.

New Day is, simply, no longer a children’s theater. After a game-changing adaptation of “Shrek” in 2013, New Day has estab-lished itself as a remark-able and respected home for the performing arts.

The latest show to grace New Day Theatre’s grow-ing stage is a re-telling of the Disney classic “Beauty and the Beast.”

The quality of the pro-duction only further il-lustrates how this fledg-ling children’s theater has blossomed into something of which all those who par-ticipated can be proud.

With a magnificent cast selected by director Ash-ley Bugg Brown and mu-sic director Tammy Holt, and set decorations and costumes to rival those of a well-funded production, the show proved to be a must-see.

Against the backdrop of dynamic set design and fantastically vivid cos-tumes, headed by Dawn Bennett with assistants Becca Klepko and Amanda Heady, the classic story of true love and adventure comes to life on the stage. The story is wove through the hysterics of dynamic duo Lumiere, played by Jonathan Gibson, and Cogsworth, played by Prashanth Raj, who keep the audience in stitches, while the sweetness of Belle, Maddie Dunavant, and her growing relation-ship with the Beast, Jake McCutcheon, stays true to the story we all know and love.

With showstopping cho-reography by Christi Hall, songs like “Gaston,” played by Samuel McFatridge,

and “Be Our Guest” — a musical number involving other comedic furniture pieces played by Kendall Christian, Hannah Gray, Olivia Cheng, Megan Cheng — will have you tapping your feet and sing-ing along.

The creativity that leaps from this production is un-paralleled, breathing fresh air into a timeless classic. In all, “Beauty and the Beast” is what the commu-nity should expect from the thriving performance art scene at New Day Chil-dren’s Theatre.

Germantown is fortunate to have an excellent police depart-

ment, dedicated firefighters and skilled paramedics who all

work to keep our community one of the safest in the U.S.

But safety in Germantown means more than the support of

our trained professionals. It also means elected officials

need to listen and respond to the people they serve and

address situations that could compromise our safety.

Listen to residents who say we should never build a six-lane

road through the historic district, giving criminals a quick

route in and out of town and hurting local businesses.

Listen to residents concerned about being blindsided by

commercial development within a few feet of their homes,

creating a potential security risk while damaging their

property values.

Listen to residents who ask repeatedly for speed bumps

or traffic lights in their neighborhoods to help keep our

children safe.

John Barzizza wants to bring a business-like approach to

city government. He knows that a core value of good

business is clear, open communication and listening – really

listening – to the people you serve. John will use his 43

years of business experience to help Germantown make

the best decisions for our safety, protecting our property

values and quality of life now and in the future.

Scott Lane is the owner of

Lane Music in Germantown and Memphis

Music. Lane says music is like

“yoga for the brain.”

Matt WooThe Weekly

Scott Lane likes to de-scribe playing music as “yoga for the brain.”

As a musician for most of his life, Lane, who owns Lane Music in German-town and Memphis Music, he understands the impor-tance of playing a musical instrument. Playing music, according to Lane, can be a stress reliever and is some-thing that’s good for a per-son’s spirt and soul.

“I believe there are so many people who are in dire situations because they have no outlet,” Lane said. “You can say things with music that you can’t say with words.”

Lane moved from Mur-freesboro to Memphis in 1987 and opened his mu-sic store, Shuf’s Music in Germantown, in August of that year. In 2003, he moved the store to its cur-rent location, 9309 Pop-

lar, and opened the store under the name of Lane Music.

Family: Married to Pook Lane; three songs, Shelby, Spencer and Stefan

Business addresses: Lane Music, 9309 Poplar and Memphis Music, 5237 Poplar. Memphis Music will move to 5124 Poplar next month.

What was your first job: Bass player since age 17 years old. Played in Nash-ville and Murfreesboro, in-cluding gigs at the Grand Ole Opry and with the Nashville Symphony.

What makes your busi-ness unique: We are a full line music store that sells everything from guitars, pianos, we give lessons, ofer recitals. We are a home grown business and we are in the business of getting families to under-stand the importance of music.

What are some of your

career highlights: One of the nation’s top sellers of Kawai and Yamaha pianos.

Career advice: Pick a mindset of what you want to accomplish.

Person you admire: My wife because she is an hon-est and straight forward business woman. She’s driven, organized and a great mom.

Hobbies: I play table ten-nis.

Favorite vacation spots: The beach in Florida, Vi-enna, Austria, and Oregon

What is the last book you read: “Rebel Yell” by S.C. Gwynne

What is something most people don’t know about you: I play ping-pong and I am a stroke survivor.

What is a change that you would like to see: The de-corporation of America. Everything is an organiza-tion. I want to see people go to local restaurants, business and shops.

Houston wasted no time taking control of the sec-ond-place slot in District 15-AAA against Collier-ville last Friday night.

The Mustangs (8-1, 4-1) rode a near-perfect ofen-sive performance to dis-mantle the Dragons 49-21 in front of an electric home crowd.

Houston, ranked sixth in The Commercial Ap-peal’s Dandy Dozen, only needed one play to put their irst points on the scoreboard, as quarter-back Jared Schmidt took the Mustangs’ irst play from scrimmage 91 yards for a touchdown.

“I saw a huge hole that my ofensive line opened up and trusted the back-side blocking,” Schmidt, who finished with 218 yards passing and two touchdowns, said after the

game. “It’s great having such a good coach to show me all those little kinks in the option game, but it all goes back to the ofensive line playing well.”

The Mustangs used some trickery on their next scoring drive. Chase Moss-Pioreck caught Schmidt’s pitch and pulled up to throw just as the defense collapsed on the run, ind-ing Parks O’Neil wide open in the back of the end zone.

Schmidt then called his own number for the sec-ond time, scurrying for an 11-yard touchdown to put the Mustangs up 21-0. The 6-foot-5, 205-pound senior led the Mustangs with 111 yards and two rushing touchdowns.

Houston got the ball right back, and Chanse Pullen snagged a 2-yard touchdown pass from Schmidt on a quick slant over the middle.

The nightmare irst half

continued for the Dragons, as Drew Dowdy sneaked into the passing lane to intercept Garrett Booth’s pass for a 20-yard pick-six.

Booth, inally, put Col-lierville on the board with a 30-yard bomb to Drew Van de Vuurst, the irst of two touchdown recep-tions for the senior, but the

Mustangs responded with a 24-yard TD connection from Schmidt to Moss-Pi-oreck, who inished with 127 yards receiving, to take a 42-7 lead into halftime af-ter outgaining the Dragons 363-92.

But Collierville would not roll over, scoring on its opening drive of the sec-

ond half with a 2-yard run from Peyton McCay, who inished the night with 56 yards on 17 carries.

Houston’s defense was dominating, with coach Will Hudgens calling it a group efort that all started up front.

“We swarmed the ball from everywhere,” he

said. “But I really thought we won the battle up front on both sides of the ball.”

Hudgens said he could not have been happier with the way his team bounced back from a disappointing loss to No. 2 Ridgeway a week ago.

“Each week we’re 0-0,” he said. “We had that mindset all this week in practice, and it’s no difer-ent with Kirby coming up next (this) week.”

IN ANOTHER DISTRICT 15-AAA GAME

Germantown 45, Wood-dale 16 at Halle: Cameron Taweri and Jacob Ivy each had two touchdown runs as the Red Devils (4-6, 3-3, 15-AAA) moved closer to se-curing a playof berth. Jona Ligon added a 37-yard punt return for the Red Devils. Jerry Craine threw scoring passes of 8 and 76 yards to Stonie Fitzgerald to lead the Cardinals (1-8, 0-5).

At 57, Jim Wilcox has gotten 10-15 pounds of his frame, a bit of his youth back, and a chance to bond competitively with his 15-year-old daughter Emma. That it has meant occasionally bonding hunks of his skin with the hard reality that is a roller rink … had to be a down-side somewhere.

“If you don’t take a fall, you’re not trying to im-prove,” Wilcox said.

The Wilcoxes, and ap-proximately 150 other speed-and-loorburn junk-

ies from ive states will be at the FunQuest rink in Collierville Nov. 2 at 6 a.m. for the monthly gath-ering of the Mid-South Speed Skating League. Competitors will go on to early afternoon compet-ing on both inline skates, and the traditional four-wheeled boot.

It’s just like you see in the Olympics. Folks roar-ing around a 100-meter oval course anywhere from one to 30 laps. Well, without ice, with wheels instead of blades, and Apollo Anton Ono sitting this one out in some sand-wich shop.

Approximately 40 of those skaters belong to the The Sprinters club that includes 25 who train regularly in and around FunQuest, and 15 more from Murfreesboro. Oth-ers will come from Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas and Oklahoma. They compete the irst Sunday of every month between October and May. Devotees also traverse the USA Roller Sports circuit, which cli-maxes in with national championships in July (2015 in Albuquerque).

“I’ve been skating com-petitively since I was 11 years old,” said Sprinters

head coach Michael John-son, now 47. “It’s taken me to places all over this country.

“We practice four times a week,” he said. “And to add to my itness I’ll ride my bike 20-25 miles a day, and several club members do the same thing.”

Justin Topham, who will try to medal at this week-end’s state meet with Ger-mantown’s cross country team, medaled in last sum-mer’s USARS nationals.

Wilcox, a native of Up-state New York, is techni-cally a beginner. “Emma started speed skating, and I took it up eight months

ago as a way to get a little more it.”

He took the more tradi-tional (read: frozen) path to his love of skating, play-ing hockey as a 125-pound center. “I was all over the ice, skating around people — until someone caught me in the corners,” he said.

The skills, and thrills he discovered, never go away, and he has become the club’s assistant coach. “Skating skills are skating skills, and it’s been a blast … though I’m still adjusting to being on inline skates rather than hockey skates.”

Then there’s the matter of hitting the deck.

“The ice is harder, but you slide. Here, you brake really quick and usually give yourself a pretty good loor burn. I’ve left my share of skin,” Wilcox said.

“You’re going 30 mph, as fast as they go on the ice, and the falls can be a little more serious,” Johnson said. “Wood covered with polyurethane is not a for-giving substance.”

So why not load up on the body armor? “Just slows you down,” Wilcox said with a brave laugh.

For more information, visit colliervillesprinters.net, or call Johnson at Fun-Quest, 850-6900.

The ending wasn’t what they had hoped for. But the Evangelical Christian School volleyball team still had plenty of reason to be happy last Friday.

The Eagles, the only Shelby-Metro team to reach the state inals, lost to Knoxville Webb, 25-18, 25-23, 25-13 in the Division 2-A championship match. It’s the second straight championship for the Spartans. ECS inishes the year with a 24-13 record.

“That was our goal at the start of the year, to

get to the championship game,” said Eagles coach Tommy Danner. “The irst two games I think could have gone either way.

“In the third, we started mishandling the ball and we lost some of our mo-mentum. I told them be-fore the game to not have any regrets and I think we played very well. I’m proud of what we accom-plished.”

Olivia Allen and Taylor Anderton led the Eagles with 12 and 11 kills, respec-tively. Kelsey Crunk had 12 digs and Danner also praised the defensive play of Georgia Peeler and Tara Norman.

“Everybody contribut-ed,” Danner said. “It was a total team efort.”

To reach the inals, the Eagles had to first de-feat Harding Academy in a four-game elimina-tion match and then St. George’s, the team that handed them a loss on the opening day of the state tournament. The Eagles dropped the first two games of the elimination match to the Gryphons, but rallied to win 21-25, 22-25, 25-23, 25-18, 15-13.

The Gryphons, who end the year with a 35-8 record, lost to Webb ear-lier last Thursday to set up the elimination match

against the Eagles.In AAA, Houston won

a couple of matches be-fore being eliminated by Knoxville Farragut. The District 15-AAA and Re-gion 8-AAA champion

Mustangs end the season with a 35-17 record.

Briarcrest , which opened the D2-AA com-petition with a victory last Wednesday, won the irst two games against Nash-

ville Father Ryan before the Irish rallied for the victory. The Saints (36-13) then were eliminated af-ter dropping a four-game match against Chattanoo-ga Baylor.

The Evangelical Christian School varsity volleyball team advanced to the Division 2-A state cham-pionship finals before falling to Knoxville Webb in last Friday’s championship match in Murfrees-boro. Coach Tommy Danner’s team had to defeat Harding Academy and St. George’s on the way to the title match.

Collierville’s Brittany Streger said it’s been a pleasure to coach senior Hannah Hillburn this year.

“I think I’ve only had to yell at her twice,” Collierville’s irst-year head coach said.

And after last Saturday, Hillburn prob-ably has built up enough good will to last a lifetime.

The senior scored a pair of second-half goals to give the Dragons a 2-0 soccer victory over host Arlington in a AAA sec-tional match. The victory sends Collier-ville to the state tournament, which began Wednesday in Murfreesboro.

The Dragons will be joined in the AAA ield by defending state champion Hous-ton, which eliminated Bartlett last Satur-day, 4-0.

St. George’s will also get a chance to defend its state title after knocking of Knoxville Webb, 3-0, in Division 2-A.

Those three will join Briarcrest, which qualiied in Division 2-AA with a victory last Thursday.

“Hannah is very special,” said Streger. “She actually has an injury that afects her breathing. She has cartilage around her windpipe ... she’ll literally be wheezing and not want to come out of the game.”

After controlling much of the irst half, Hillburn got the irst for Collierville nine minutes after the break, creating a sliver of space for her shot before a good inish. She tapped home the second after a scramble in front of the goal with about 12 minutes to go.

“We just wanted to put good pressure on them,” said Hillburn. “We knew we had the heart and the passion; we just wanted

to stay competitive.”At Houston, Anna Della Rosa’s unas-

sisted goal opened the scoring before Madeline Petro made it 2-0 at halftime. Gabby Little got the third before Robyn Pennella closed things out two minutes before the whistle.

Jillian Hildreth had two assists for the Mustangs, who are 18-0-2.

Isabel Correia scored the irst two for St. George’s, which improves to 13-4-4. Lizzie Ouellette also had a goal and the Gryphons’ defense did an excellent job limiting the chances of Webb standout Halsey Howard.

Briarcrest Christian School advanced with a 2-0 victory over Nashville En-sworth. Brittany Hatmaker and Alyssa Neuberger each had a goal and an assist for the Saints (16-1-2).

Two other area Division 2-A teams were eliminated with road losses last Saturday. ECS fell to Battle Ground Academy, 2-0, and University School of Nashville de-feated St. Mary’s, 3-0.

When Memphis University School running back Bradley Foley reached the end zone at the end of a 69-yard run in the third quarter last Friday night, the irst thing he did was look behind him to check for lags.

There weren’t any, but that’s the kind of year it’s been for the Owls.

“There haven’t been a lot of times when things have been comfortable,” said coach Bob-by Alston. “At times we’ve struggled.”

The Owls did a lot more good than bad against Craig-mont, defeating the Chiefs 49-26 in a late non-division matchup. MUS improved to 6-3, while the Chiefs fall to 7-2.

“Our guys played hard,” said Alston, whose team will host Briarcrest Friday with second place in Division 2-AA West — and a irst-round play-of bye — on the line.

As they have been all sea-son, the Owls were led by Colton Neel. The senior run-ning back scored four touch-downs, giving him 23 on the year and 58 for his career. He had touchdown runs of 6, 5 and 32 yards — the last a highlight-reel special — and caught a 6-yard pass from Marcus Evans.

He inished with 132 yards on 19 carries, and he had 90 yards on kickof and punt re-turns.

“He’s just a really good football player,” said Alston.

Neel, who will play base-ball at the University of Memphis, was all too happy to share the glory.

“It’s these guys,” he said, pointing to a pair of ofensive linemen. “I just carry the ball. The touchdowns belong to them, too.”

Elections

That so many people attended last Tuesday night’s well-run forum for candidates in the Ger-mantown municipal elec-tion was, on the surface, an encouraging sign for those of us who bemoan the lack of civic partici-pation these days. Where else do candidate forums draw many more than the families and friends of those on the dais?

Spend two hours in the overflow seating area — yes, there was one — as I did, and you quickly learn something more. There’s con-cern in German-town, partly over such items as the Smart Growth plan and drawing new business to town, but mostly over schools.

It is our new normal in Shelby County subur-ban politics, the first big postmuni-schools elec-toral race being played out among the 40,000 people who inhabit the 20 square miles bordering Mem-phis to the east. The city’s mayoral contest, a spirited battle between retired city department head George Brogdon and 10-year Al-derman Mike Palazzolo, tells us all we need to know.

The hottest issue going, it seems, deals with who operates the so-called “3G” schools — German-town Elementary, Middle and High. In the creation of the Germantown Mu-nicipal School District, Shelby County Schools maintained possession of those three schools, cre-ating some awkwardness: Schools with the name “Germantown” on them aren’t part of the system

with the name “German-town” on it.

It seems to have cre-ated no shortage of anxi-ety among those who live in Germantown and hang Germantown High

diplomas on the wall. But the larger is-sue centers around property values and whether houses,

particularly “south of Poplar,” as was mentioned often Tuesday night, are as easily sold.

Never mind that there seems no real route to re-claiming the 3G schools. Never mind that the de-bate itself produced con-flicting information over whether property values really were taking a hit. It’s like U.S. Sen. Lamar Alexander’s constant us-age of the word “Obama” as close as possible to the words “Gordon Ball”: It’s the thing, whether per-tinent or not, that’s most likely to stir up emotion in a prospective voter.

And these issues aren’t just in Germantown.

Just ask Lakeland. The suburb passed a 65 per-cent property tax increase this month to build a big school.

Just ask the County Commission. When capital money was being parsed back in the spring, there was contention in that body until it agreed to dole out cash here and there for school projects

that weren’t in Shelby County Schools.

Just ask Collierville. When Stan Joyner was elected mayor there in 2008, the big debate pro-duced some pointed lines about whether the mayor should be full time or part time, but if there were flashpoints about schools, they weren’t dramatic enough to warrant inclu-sion in The Commercial Appeal’s story.

And when our editorial board endorsed candidates in all suburban races just six years ago, education and schools weren’t men-tioned.

Just ask Bartlett. When Keith McDonald took of-fice as mayor in 2002, he slammed his opponent as “a great fisherman and a good motorcycle police of-ficer,” but schools seemed nowhere near top of mind. (To be fair, the German-town candidates’ most pointed back-and-forth last Tuesday night actual-ly pertained to disclosures on campaign signs.)

There’s no use pick-ing the scab that got us here. Suburban municipal schools are a reality — and so are all the headaches, debates, number-crunch-ing and overflow crowds at candidate forums that arrive with them. And the political fights did not end when ribbons were cut to open the systems.

The battle over how to fund schools — specifical-ly, how to build bigger and better — is a new gift in the laps of suburban leaders. And it’s a new issue chang-ing the dynamics of these races, at least compared to the last decade. Just visit Germantown these days to find out.

Elections


Every time I read the proposed constitutional amendments on the Nov. 4 Tennessee ballot, I think about Alice’s lament in her travels in Wonderland:

“It would be so nice if something made sense for a change.”

Even when you try to make sense of the four proposed amendments, they get curiouser and cu-riouser.

Last week, I asked read-ers to help me translate the amendments into a lan-guage more like English.

Your responses were helpful. Truly. They also illustrat-ed the fact that how you read a proposed constitutional amend-ment depends on how you see it.

Take Amendment 3, for example, which has to do with prohibiting “any state or local tax measured by payroll or earned personal income.”

Here’s how one reader sees it:

“Amendment 3 would further financially bur-den our governments, state and local, by denying progressive income taxes and continuing to rely on a regressive and exorbitant sales taxes for inadequate revenues.”

Here’s how another reader sees it:

“It protects productive citizens from looters. It en-sures that it is unequivo-cally clear that Tennessee will NOT have a tax on ordinary income. Perhaps fewer productive people will flee Tennessee for states that do not have an income tax; e.g., Florida, Texas.”

I suppose both could be

true, but if you agree with the irst one you’ll likely vote No on Amendment 3, and if you agree with the second you’ll likely vote Yes.

If you think reading and interpreting the pro-

posed amendments is hard, try writing them.

“Drafting amend-ment language is dif-

icult,” said state Sen. Brian Kelsey, R-German-town, who wrote the origi-nal drafts of Amendments 2 and 3.

“You are drafting lan-guage that you hope will last 100 years or more. You have to balance legalese for judges with plain lan-guage for voters. You have to insert enough legalese to ensure that a judge with a diferent political agen-da cannot misinterpret the words. You also have to draft the language in a way that a majority of vot-ers will vote for it.”

In other words, the law-makers past and present who wrote and revised and patched the four amend-ments want you to vote Yes on each one.

Yes means change. Yes means you don’t like or agree with how something is and you want it to be dif-ferent. And to stay difer-ent.

That explains why all four amendments are a rather confusing conglom-

eration of intentions both legal and political.

Kelsey: “Amendment 3 begins in a confusing manner to ensure that a liberal judge cannot ever allow a state income tax. I thought Amendment 3 was drafted very clearly, but the House redrafted much of it after we had passed it in the Senate. Language tends to get lon-ger as 132 legislators ofer their input.”

Here’s Kelsey’s boiled-down version of Amend-ment 3: “Amendment 3 prohibits a state income tax or local payroll tax.”

Which is crystal clear, as far as it goes. But there’s more to any new law than its actual sentence con-struction.

“The true key for the construction of everything doubtful in a law is the in-tention of the lawmakers,” wrote Thomas Jeferson, who composed some pret-ty ine legal documents in his time.

Unfortunately, you won’t ind the legislative intent of each amendment on the ballot.

What is the intent of Amendment 3?

Tennessee has never had a state income tax. It already has the nation’s highest sales tax rate, which burdens the lower incomes more than higher incomes.

Only legislators can establish taxes. Ours are phasing out inheritance, estate and gift taxes, and they have plans to elimi-nate the tax on dividends and interest

So why does our Legis-lature, dominated by con-servative Republicans, want to ensure “that a

liberal judge cannot ever allow a state income tax”?

Kelsey and other sup-porters say a state income tax ban will keep overall taxes lower and lure new companies and jobs. They say it will make the state’s tax system more competi-tive and government more iscally responsible.

Opponents say a state income tax will only keep taxes lower for wealthier people who make more money, and it will force future legislators to cut services or to raise sales

and property taxes even higher. They say its iscal-ly irresponsible and will make the state’s tax system more regressive.

As I said, it’s compli-cated.

After much study, and with the help of readers, I’ve written Twitter ver-sions of each amendment — plain English versions of each one in 140 charac-

ters or less.Making sense of how

the proposed constitu-tional amendments are worded and the actual behind-the-scenes intent of each is quite another. “Read the directions and directly you will be direct-ed in the right direction,” the Doorknob says in “Al-ice in Wonderland.” Easier read than done.

For years, ArtsMemphis has held a big party to celebrate the artists and patrons who work to make the city a liveli-er, prettier and more interest-

ing place. In 2012, president and CEO Susan Schadt realized a large and important segment of that creative class hadn’t been recognized, and instead of one big party, she created the ArtsMemphis Artafactor Culi-nary Series.

It was a great success, small dinners prepared by prestigious chefs in private homes where lo-cal arts groups provided entertainment ranging from music to dance to improvisation. For 2013, Schadt upped the game, added public venues for the parties and did two things:

First, she made chef Kelly English the culinary chairman.

“And the next thing you know, we had 34 chefs involved,” she said. “We said let’s ask the chefs what they want to do.”

Second, she decided to document all of it and publish it as a cookbook, companion in spirit if not in content to her 2010 “Wild Abundance,” a book about cooking in hunting clubs in the region.

“So we had all the dinners last year, took all the photos, and now we have the book,” she said.

“Memphis: Sweet, Spicy and a Little Greasy” (Wild Abundance Publishing; $45) released Sun-day. It’s a big cofee table book, beautifully photo-graphed by Lisa Buser, who captured not just the food, but also the people who made it all happen.

“Every chapter has an arts group, stylists, chefs, purveyors, food distributors,” Schadt said. “This was all a big coming-together of the community, people saying, ‘We want to do this for the arts.’”

Schadt will step down from ArtsMemphis at the end of the year to run Wild Abundance Pub-lishing (there are other books already underway), and chief operating oicer Elizabeth Rouse will assume her role.

“I really wanted to work with them, but we need to make sure, as chefs, that we’re working with

people to raise money and not just bearing the costs ourselves,” English said. “So I worked with them, we got food costs in line, and they really took a leadership role in shaping how fundraising events can and should be done.”

And while it’s a visual feast, as even the most casual of these parties were pretty elaborately staged, the heart of the book is the food, the recipes provided by the chefs who prepared the dinners.

The irst party, “Be Nice or Leave,” was held at the home of Lucia and Ricky Heros. Their Chicka-saw Gardens home was styled to resemble one in New Orleans’ Garden District (the couple met while students at Tulane), and the meal was pre-pared by Mac Edwards and Anthony, John and Gail Uglesich. The Uglesich family owned the restaurant of the same name in New Orleans for decades (Anthony ran it for 50 years). After Hur-ricane Katrina, the family came to Memphis.

Mike and Beni Dragutsky hosted a wine dinner at their home that featured nine of his Cornerstone and Stepping Stone wines (he owns the winery with other local partners). A casual food truck party was held in a cove; Funkylux was held at Stax. There were 12 events, including one that lasted a weekend at Foxield, the east Shelby County coun-try estate of William and Tommie Dunavant.

Chefs Rick Farmer and Miles McMath of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, Lee Richard-son of Packet House Grill in Little Rock and Kevin Shockency of the Memphis Hunt and Polo Club built and tended a bonire for 48 hours; everything that was served, from the cocktail reception Fri-day night to the intimate dinner Saturday night to the Sunday brunch, was prepared over the ire.

It all ended with “Watch Yo Hed,” a party at Earnestine & Hazel’s where English, Patrick Reil-ly of The Majestic Grille and Jason Severs of Bari prepared a “high-low” dinner that featured low-brow food such as Soul Burgers served on silver platters, Stand Up Punch (don’t sit down because you won’t be able to stand up), and was styled in homage to the club’s early days as a brothel.

CHILLED SHRIMP BRUSCHETTA WITH LOCAL HEIRLOOM TOMATOES INSALATA AND LOCAL ARUGULA PESTOMakes about 24 appetizers.

INGREDIENTS

¼ pound small to medium shrimp, peeled and de- veined

3-4 local heirloom tomatoes (use 3 to 4 difer-ent varieties)

— extra-virgin olive oil — kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper — fresh basil ½ pound local arugula 1 anchovy illet 1 clove garlic, minced 1 loaf of nice, crusty bread of your choice — aged balsamic vinegar

DIRECTIONS

1 Add shrimp to a pot of boiling water and cook for approximately 3-4 minutes, or to your desired degree of doneness. Shock shrimp after cooking by draining and placing them in an ice bath. When cool, drain and chill. Blanch tomatoes in boiling water for about 15 seconds; drain and immediately put in an ice bath. After cooled, drain and peel the skin of tomatoes. After blanching, the skin should literally peel away with your ingers.

2 After peeling, cut tomatoes in half and squeeze them gently over a receptacle, allowing the seeds and membrane inside to fall away. Using a cutting board, dice tomatoes into small ¼ inch pieces. Place in a small bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle a little kosher salt, black pepper. Tear or julienne the fresh basil and add to taste. Set aside.

3 In the bowl of a food processor, place arugula, anchovy, and garlic; blend until resembles a very dry paste. With the processor running, slowly add olive oil until it comes together in a light emulsion. Add salt and pepper to taste. Set aside. Slice bread into 1/2-inch slices and cut into small rounds, squares or triangles. Place bread under the broiler until it is nicely toasted.

4 Place chilled shrimp on their sides and make a complete cut lengthwise, making two com-plete pieces of each shrimp. Spread a small amount of pesto on each toast slice. Place one piece of your chilled shrimp, cut side down, on each piece of toast. Place a small amount of tomato salad on top of each shrimp. Drizzle extra-virgin olive oil and aged balsamic vin-egar on top of each piece and serve immedi-ately.

Visitors to The Basement sign a waiver and must be 18, and are given a “safe word” that they can say to stop activities if it’s too much.

But why have Halloween attrac-tions become so intense?

“After 20 years of haunted houses with people stepping out and saying ‘boo,’ these days if you’re really try-ing to scare people you’ve got to be edgy and out of their comfort zone,” Simmons said. “What scared people in the ’70s and the ’80s isn’t what’s going to scare them now.”

“There’s no doubt Halloween at-tractions are getting scarier and more extreme,” said Larry Kirchner of HauntWorld.com, a website devot-ed to haunted attractions. With high-tech special efects, including video, animation and Hollywood-quality sets, “they are more sophisticated. They have gone to another level.”

On 3E are a few Halloween events and attractions taking place around the country this season, most of them ofering experiences way less intense than being hooded. Expect long lines and check schedules. Some events are weekends only, some run through early November, some sell out.

UNIVERSAL HALLOWEEN HORROR NIGHTS

The horror ilm “The Purge: Anar-chy,” which is the sequel to a movie about an annual night of unfettered crime and violence, is just one of the inspirations for Halloween Horror Nights at Universal theme parks in Orlando, Fla., and in Los Ange-les. The events feature hundreds

of elaborately costumed actors and Hollywood-quality sets, special ef-fects and mazes inspired by pop cul-ture inluences ranging from El Rey Network’s “From Dusk Till Dawn,” to AMC’s “The Walking Dead.”

HAUNTWORLD’S TOP 13Pennhurst Asylum, in Spring City,

Penn., got the No. 1 slot on Haunt-World.com’s top 13 haunted attrac-tions, while Dent Schoolhouse took seventh. Also on the list: 13th Gate,

Baton Rouge, La.; Netherworld, At-lanta; House of Torment, Austin, Texas; The Darkness, St. Louis; Ere-bus, Pontiac, Mich.; Kersey Valley Spookywoods, Greensboro, N.C.; Headless Horseman, Ulster Park, N.Y.; Cutting Edge Haunted House, Fort Worth, Texas; Bates Motel, Phil-adelphia; Bennett’s Curse, Baltimore; and 13th loor, Chicago.

ATTRACTIONS BY REGION ■ New York City’s annual Village

NEW YORK — Halloween seems to be getting scarier, with attrac-tions going ever-more interactive and in-your-face.

At Knott’s Scary Farm in Buena Park, Calif., guests are outitted with neon-green laser guns and ordered to shoot actors portraying zombies by aiming at their heads. At the Dent Schoolhouse in Cin-cinnati, a butcher appears to demonstrate how to slaughter a pig. At The Basement, part of the ScareHouse near Pittsburgh, hoods are placed over visitors’ faces.

“We put a hood over the customer and it’s remarkable how much a diference that makes,” said Scott Simmons, ScareHouse cre-ative director. “You’re taking away sight, a core thing, and it’s such a nerve-wracking experience. You see these terrible, horrifying demons and clowns, and they put a hood on you, and you don’t know what’s going to happen next. You feel terrible things touching you and whispering in your ear. But as extreme as it is, it’s still fun. People come out shaking, but they’re smiling.”

Recently, I spoke to members of the newly-formed Memphis Chapter of the American Market-ing Association, which fo-cuses on bringing together professionals in the ield of marketing for career de-velopment, networking, and continuing educa-tion. At the conclusion of the presentation, a direc-tor of marketing for a local business, who was trying to schedule nonproit tours and having diiculty get-ting buy-in from her team posed the question: “How do I get them to partici-pate?”

Many of us work for

fast-paced, sales-driv-en orga-n i z a t ion s where it can be tough to draw busy profession-als out of the office to see the

good taking place in our city, be inspired and ig-nite engagement, even at a basic level. Two things can be helpful to increase participation.

First, schedule volun-teer opportunities or non-proit tours at the begin-ning of the day, like 8:30-10 a.m., around lunch, or to-ward the end of the day, from 3:30-5 p.m. Allot 30

minutes for drive time and an hour for the tour or ef-fort. So, allow your team to leave at 3:30 p.m. and meet for after school tu-toring from 4-5 p.m. When it comes to tracking time away from the oice, allow the employees to modify their work schedules and make up the time or grant it as a part of your give back eforts.

Next, when scheduling your tour or volunteer day, reach out ahead of time and ask the nonproit’s ex-ecutive director to attend and say a few words. Also, ask them to invite some of their board and use your event as a chance to have other potential donors par-ticipate.

Success at scheduling nonprofit tours

By Thomas Bailey [email protected]

Former Navy SEAL Don Mann regaled 400 busi-ness people last Thursday with incredible tales of the physical and mental perse-verance required to be in the special forces organi-zation.

Perhaps nothing he said packed more wallop than a mid-speech statement de-livered matter-of-factly. “Just recently I had dinner and drinks with the person who killed bin Laden,’’ Mann told the Lipscomb & Pitts Breakfast Club. “It was very interesting, his perspective.’’

Much about the mission remains secret. But Mann shared some details.

His theme was encour-aging his audience to ex-pose themselves to the ful-

illment that comes with pushing be-yond self-perceived limits.

Over his l i f e t i m e , the Iron-man triath-lete has run

more than 75,000 miles and biked more than 325,000 miles, said Mark Yerger, vice president of aircraft engineering and technical planning for FedEx.

The author of “Inside SEAL Team Six: My Life and Missions with Amer-ica’s Elite Warriors” had nothing directly to do with the raid that killed Osama bin Laden, but he did train SEALs who participated.

“What they told me when they got back from this raid ..., they said train-ing was never that easy,”

Mann said. “Shooting those people

— shooting those terror-ists I should say, I don’t want to call them people — is like shooting paper targets. No resistance at all. They just gave up.”

Quietly ascending the stairs to bin Laden’s third-story bedroom, the point man was able to call out the name of a male bin Laden relative because the SEAL had studied what each family member looked like. When the rel-ative heard his name and stuck his head out from a corner, the SEAL shot and killed him, Mann said.

“And then the raid went on. Boom, they had to rush up the stairs. The two of them, the point man and the shooter, were in the room, first going right and left. And there were three women here who

put on suicide vests when attacked and they blow themselves up. The point man knew he was going to die when he jumped on them and he was just wait-ing to be blown up.

“And he jumped on them to protect them from being hurt because they weren’t threats — they weren’t holding a weapon — and to protect his teammates from being blown up ...,’’ Mann said.

“The shooter went up, turned left, and he said,

‘There’s a very, very scared bin Laden right there. Boom, boom, boom ... down he goes.

With the bin Laden raid and other successes, the SEAL team community was on “an all-time high, they could do no wrong,” Mann said.

But just three months later disaster struck when the Taliban shot down a CH-47 Chinook helicop-ter in Afghanistan. The 38 killed included 17 mem-bers of SEAL Team Six.

“All these great success-es and then boom, we lost a fourth of our ighters. ... The worst day in SEAL Team history,” Mann said.

“And I went back to the reunion right after that and I was very, very curi-ous about what the guys were going to be like.

“Man for man, hand on the Bible, I swear to God on this, every single per-son we spoke to couldn’t wait to get back in the ight because the mission was not inished.”

Stories. Has any Mem-phis athlete ever inspired more stories than John Bramlett? It happened again last Thursday when news spread that the leg-endary former Memphis State Tiger had passed away at age 73.

“I was at old Crump Stadium,” wrote a com-menter on this paper’s website. “I think the year was 1961 or 1962. Anyway, the Tigers were playing the University of Detroit (yes, they played football then). I was standing on the sideline when the Ti-gers punted and the De-troit player called for a fair catch. Bramlett went right through the fair catch and hit that guy full speed right in the mouth. When they brought him of the ield the guy’s face was rearranged, blood and teeth were everywhere. Bramlett was tossed from the game and a ight broke out.”

Or there was this one, from another commenter. About a local softball game.

“John was on second, a line drive was hit through to the outield and John was trying to score from second base. Our catcher, who was about the same size as John, blocked the plate as he took the relay from short, the Bull com-ing full speed ahead, the irresistible force slam-ming into the immovable object. Both if I remem-ber correctly were uncon-scious for a few seconds. The call was out but the ground seemed to shake at the collision. I am now 70 years old and I have never forgotten that moment.”

The stories were re-counted on message boards and on radio shows, and wherever Memphis

fans heard the news.Some athletes are re-

membered by stats in their obituaries. A rare few are remembered by tales.

Like the time Bramlett earned three straight per-sonal foul calls against Ole Miss, trying to knock quarterback Jake Gibbs from the game. Like the time he knocked out his teammate, Harry Shuh, because Shuh cut in line to get a bar of soap.

“I used to hear the sto-ries, and I’d come home and ask him about them,” said Andy Bramlett, one of John’s sons. “I’d say, ‘Did that really happen?’ And he’d almost always say, ‘I’m afraid that it did.’ ”

Bramlett grew up with Elvis. He starred at base-ball and football at Mem-phis State. When he was run out of professional baseball for too much ca-rousing, he switched to professional football and promptly finished sec-ond to Joe Namath as AFL Rookie of the Year.

It all seems unfathom-able, doesn’t it? It sounds more like a fable than an actual life. And yet the most outlandish Bramlett story is what happened af-ter all these stories.

“He changed,” said Nancy Bramlett, his wife. “It was like night and day.”

The wildest Memphis athlete of all time became one of the most devout.

A man who had dedi-cated himself to ights and booze and women dedicat-

ed himself to spreading the Word.

Bramlett spoke in pris-ons and he spoke to NFL teams. He spoke anywhere he would be heard. He spoke to Deion Sanders and to Charles Manson. He spoke at the Union Mis-sion all the time.

“He developed an in-credible tenderness for people,” said Andy Bram-lett. “He did a lot of bad, but he did a lot more good.”

Indeed, it is this good that enables us to fully cel-ebrate all those stories that came before it. Otherwise, what would have been the point? To a celebrate a man of meanness and violence? The world has no shortage of those.

No, those earlier stories are important precisely because they are part of a broader and ininitely more important story. That story is about how a man can change.

In the last days, the Bramlett family gathered at a hospice. Someone popped in a tape of the 1960 Ole Miss-Memphis game. That’s the game in which Bramlett was lagged on three consecu-tive snaps. The black-and-white video shows this 165-pound linebacker lying across the line of scrimmage before the ball is snapped and hurling the quarterback to the ground.

It is astonishing, in its violence. When Andy Bramlett saw it again, he couldn’t help but laugh.

“That was Bull,” he said. “He was truly an original. But what he wanted you to know is that there is hope, there is hope for every-one.”

Best part of Bramlett’s story is how he changed for better


Community

When John “Bull” Bramlett was run-ning track at Humes High School in the late 1950s, those keeping pace in the ad-jacent lanes had to be aware of him every step to the inish line.

“If you were running next to him, you’d better be running with your arms up high,” said former South Side sprinter and later football teammate Billy Fletcher. “If you didn’t, he’d hit you with an elbow.”

The ierce passion with which Bramlett competed — whether in high school track, college football and baseball at Memphis State, pro baseball or pro football — was the same passion he brought to every as-pect of his life. Bramlett, a former Mem-phis State and pro football star who later dedicated himself to the ministry, died last Thursday after a lengthy illness. He was 73.

He is survived by his wife, Nancy, and his sons, Andy and Don, and four grand-children. Andy and Don were members of the Tiger football team in the early 1980s. “It is a remarkable story he lived,” Andy said. “I think people appreciated the bold-ness with which he lived both on and of the ield. He was a man’s man.”

A native Memphian, Bramlett was runner-up to Joe Namath for American Football League rookie of the year in 1965 shortly after ending a pro baseball career in the St. Louis Cardinals’ farm system.

He excelled at linebacker for then-Memphis State in the early 1960s, when the Tigers, under legendary coach Billy “Spook” Murphy, established themselves as a hard-nosed program.

As a senior in 1962, Bramlett was part of a defense that shut down Mississippi State in a 28-7 victory, the Tigers’ irst over a Southeastern Conference opponent.

Bramlett had a reputation for wild-ness and trouble. He was nicknamed the “Meanest Man in Football” a few years after being kicked out of pro baseball for seriously injuring a man in a bar ight in Homestead, Fla.

Bramlett later changed his life when he became a Christian in 1973.

“He was sincere about turning his life around,” said Fletcher, a former Tiger football quarterback who was a teammate of Bramlett’s with the AFL’s Denver Bron-cos in 1965. “Before that, somehow trouble would always ind him. And if it couldn’t, he’d go ind trouble.”

Roger French, who served as defensive coordinator for the Tigers in the early 1960s, said, “I know he had some issues, but he turned them over to God and went in the right direction.”

French, 80, an assistant coach for a Min-neapolis-area prep football power, added, “He did everything I ever asked him to do. He was a better person than he was made out to be, but he was tough. I’ll say that.”

Bramlett was a two-time All-Pro line-backer and his career included stops in Denver, Boston, Miami and Atlanta. He played from 1965 to 1971. After football, he became a Christian evangelist and spent 40 years speaking to groups at churches, prisons, schools and conventions.

His autobiography, “Taming the Bull: The John Bramlett Story,” was made into a documentary of the same name and re-leased a year ago. Larry Coley, the Mem-phis-area director for the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, said he has seen the documentary eight times since its release.

Bramlett was inducted into the FCA’s Hall of Champions in 2006. The FCA Hall honors those who have demonstrated a commitment to Jesus Christ through the ministry of FCA.

The University of Memphis oicially retired Bramlett’s No. 64 jersey — one of six the program has retired.

What makes a hero? A hero could be someone who saves lives or pro-tects society from evil like Superman, but a hero could also take the form of the person you strive to be. Either way, a hero is someone who departs from society’s norms to accomplish a greater goal.

We live in a fast-paced world where diets have become the norm, and the focus has shifted to num-bers (weight, BMI, calorie-counting, etc.) and appear-ance rather than overall

health. We are accus-tomed to obta in ing answers to quest ions in a single G o o g l e search or a click on the Internet. In

many ways, our society prefers simple answers and fast results.

Our society takes great interest in food and nutri-tion; however, nutrition misinformation abounds and serves as a villain, furthering the destruc-tive diet mentality. Most

nutrition-related messag-es come from the media, friends and family, but how often do they come from registered dietitians? Furthermore, how many nutrition messages come from nutrition experts who reject diets and in-stead advocate a real food, non-diet approach?

What would life look like if we became our own heroes, ighting the villains who promote the dangerous diet mentality? What if we moved away from focusing on numbers as measures of success and instead focused on health, self-care, and fueling well?

Sharaze Colley, Schil-ling Nutrition Therapy cli-ent and blogger at “Passing Pinwheels” writes about her experiences in mov-ing toward health and diet freedom. She states, “I haven’t had to count calo-ries or drastically change my diet. I don’t stress. There’s almost no real lim-its to what I am ‘allowed’ to eat. It’s nice. And freeing.”

Rejecting diet industry villains does not have to be complicated. In fact, diets usually end up being more complicated than a real food, non-diet approach. Though this approach often takes longer and requires

perseverance, it ultimately leads to a lifetime of better health, stronger metabo-lism, and peace with food.

Colley states, “And that’s the amazing thing. I’m eating more. I’m not starving all the time. Fad dieting tells me the oppo-site should be happening, that the answer is always ‘eat less, exercise more.’ But that’s not always the case ... I’m starting to think it generally isn’t that simple … something I know, but hard to actu-ally live by because of all the messages I get all the time about food being the enemy.”

During the process of re-jecting the diet mentality, remember, even Superman had his kryptonite.

During a time when news headlines paint perilous pictures of war-torn areas around the globe, the Mem-phis-based International Children’s Heart Foundation remains committed to its mis-sion of saving children’s lives — regardless of where they’re located.

Founded in 1993 by pedi-atric cardiovascular surgeon Dr. William Novick, ICHF is a nonproit organization that coordinates medical missions to provide cardiac care to children in under-resourced and conlict-ridden regions throughout the world.

While the United States and other developed countries have hundreds of medical cen-ters with trained specialists to care for children with heart disease, the ones in develop-ing nations aren’t as fortunate.

That’s where ICHF steps in. During its 20-year history, the foundation has grown into a multifaceted organization that has so far delivered life-saving surgical care to more than 7,000 children in more than 30 countries, including Ukraine, Russia, Iraq, Ecua-dor and Peru to name just a few.

ICHF Executive Director Terry Carter emphasizes that it takes a village, so to speak, to accomplish such a weighty task.

“While we currently em-ploy a small staf of medi-cal professionals stationed around the world and support-ed by our administrative team here in Memphis, our medical missions wouldn’t be possible without the help of countless medical volunteers in vari-ous countries, along with the contributions from individual donors, corporate partners and organizational sponsors,”

Carter said. “Without their continual support, ICHF sim-ply could not operate.”

A significant number of those corporate partners, list-ed on the foundation’s website at babyheart.org, are located here in Memphis — among

them are Medtronic, FedEx, St. Jude Medical, Alert Ter-minal Warehouse, Madison Pharmacy and Methodist Out-patient Pharmacy — and sup-ply the foundation with cru-cial resources such as logistics and shipping assistance, med-

ical supplies, pharmaceuticals and inancial support.

Bret Rodriguez, president of ICHF’s board of directors, says the collaboration of the foundation’s staf, volunteers and supporters illustrates the powerful impact people can make when they join forces to accomplish a common goal.

“ICHF is a perfect example of a number of essential mov-ing parts coming together to create a lifesaving operation on a global scale. And we’re not just saving the lives of in-dividuals during our medical missions — we’re saving the lives of the generations and generations that will follow them,” Rodriguez said. “Every donation we receive, no mat-ter the amount, plays a key role in these stories.”

In addition to perform-ing the actual surgeries, the ICHF medical teams educate local health care professionals on how to conduct the opera-tions themselves, administer perioperative care for the patients and utilize new car-diac medicines and diagnostic equipment.

As for the foundation’s op-erations in areas of conlict, while ICHF has conducted missions in Iraq and Ukraine this year, the foundation keeps a watchful eye on emerging international developments and plans its missions accord-ingly.

“The safety of our staf is of the utmost importance to us,” Carter said. “We join peo-ple around the globe in their hopes and prayers that these conlicts will be resolved and these areas will soon be safer places for children, particu-larly those with urgent medi-cal needs.”

Members of German-town United Methodist Women’s Joy Circle re-cently presented a $24,500 check to Memphis Busi-ness Academy, a Memphis charter school in Frayser.

The money was raised through the annual Golf-ing with JOY golf scramble at Spring Creek Ranch in Collierville on Aug. 25.

“We want to thank all of our sponsors and donors, and of course the 104 golf-ers who joined us in sup-

porting Memphis Business Academy in August,” said Joy Circle chairwoman Anna Graunke.

“Memphis Business Academy is making a dif-ference in the lives of so many in the Frayser com-munity, and we are blessed to be able to play a small role in bringing hope and encouragement to these kids.”

The Joy Circle also partners with Memphis Business Academy in other ways, such as pro-viding a cupcake for ev-ery student celebrating

a birthday, treat bags for students who make honor roll, tutoring for elemen-tary students, and prayer cards for teachers. Most recently, Joy members held an instrument drive for students placed on a waiting list to join the school band because they couldn’t afford musical instruments. Instruments have been passed along to some very excited young students who can now join the band.

Jennifer Brezina is with German-

town United Methodist Church.

I found Cy the Cynic in the club lounge, staring at a blank sheet of paper.

“I’m making a list,” Cy told me, “of the top 10 mistakes at bridge.” At length, the Cynic came up with this:

10. Trumping partner’s ace.

9. Preempting, then bidding again.

8. Drawing trumps too soon.

7. Leading into strength. 6. Failing to cover an hon-

or. 5. Finessing against part-

ner. 4. Passing a forcing bid. 3. Doubling the opponents

into game. 2. Taking a “phantom” sac-

rifice; and ... 1. Giving declarer a ru�-

slu�. Some “felonies” can

amount to winning play. At today’s four spades, South ru�ed the second heart, led a club to dummy and returned a trump to his jack. West won and was reluctant to concede a ru�-slu� by leading a third heart. He tried a club.

South won in dummy and led a trump to his ten, losing to West’s king. He could win the diamond return, draw trumps and claim, making four.

Giving declarer a ru�-slu� isn’t even a misdemeanor if he has no losers to slu�. If West leads another heart at Trick Five, South goes down. South can ru� in dummy and lead a second trump but has no winning play when East shows out.

If South takes the ace and leads the ten, West wins and leads another heart, and South must ru� in his hand, losing control. If instead South leads side-suit winners, West scores his last low trump plus his king.

Dear Harriette: I have a friend who is terminally ill. She has been battling breast cancer for many years, and it has reached stage 4. I didn’t even know what that meant at first, but I read up on it and see that it means it has metastasized. I feel so sad for her, even though she is in great spirits. As a friend, I’m not really sure what I should be doing to support her. I call her from time to time, but I know her doctor told her not to use too much energy. When she gets on the phone, she gets going and could be talking for hours on end. She has a family, including teen-age children. I want to be there for her and for them. We aren’t the best of friends, but we have been friends for a long time. What should I do?

— Having Her Back, Brooklyn, New York

Answer: Go visit your friend and talk to her in person. Tell her that you want to be of help. De-termine your boundaries about support before you

go. For instance, if you are not in a position to help care for her chil-dren, do not o�er that. If you do want to be a men-tor to them, speak up. If you are a good cook and you could help prepare meals now and even possibly after she passes, o�er specifically what you can do.

It is important for you not to overpromise. In a delicate situation like this, o�ers are taken very seriously.

Make sure your friend knows that you care tre-mendously about her and her family, and o�er her your prayers.

By Amy DickinsonTribune Content Agency

Dear Amy: My 18-year-old son started college this year. He has a part-time job and is paying for a new car to drive to school 30 miles from home. He lives at home, but makes bad choices by smoking pot!

I know if I kick him out and take the car away he will drop everything he’s been working for.

Dear Reader: I under-stand the parental fear that your child will essentially punish himself (drop out of school, etc.) in order to de-iantly declare that “you’re not the boss of me.”

If your goal is to keep him at home during this maturing phase, you should appeal to his semi-indepen-dent self by talking about this rationally.

Tell your son, “You know I don’t want you to smoke pot. It is illegal in this state. You are underage. It fries

your brain. I realize I can-not control your every move, but I cannot tolerate you using at home. This might not seem reasonable to you, but that’s the way it is. Do you understand?”

He may test you, and you should be prepared to calmly tell him to pack a bag. He may bounce back and forth a couple of times. Continue to support his ef-forts at school and work. You are both going through a process; he will need to grow up and you will need to let go.

Dear Amy: This issue has been “eating” at me for years. When my brother and his wife invite us to dinner, they ask us to pitch in money to defray the cost of the food.

My brother is well of and has a vacation home.

When we visit his vaca-tion home, we are basically asked to cater a dinner for him and his wife, friends, in-laws and anyone else

who happens to be there. I have never asked any-

one to pay for food when I invite them to my house for dinner.

I might ask someone to bring dessert or wine but never a check or cash for the meal.

Should I start charging them for dinners at my house?

Dear Reader: If you are a guest for more than a cou-ple of nights at someone’s vacation home, then you really should contribute a meal. Otherwise, your brother’s expectations are strange.

You could deinitely re-taliate for this inhospitable treatment by doing to your brother what he is doing to you, but that would only prove that you are capable of being as rude as he is. And wouldn’t it be easier to talk to him?

ASK AMY

Dad worries son’s life might go to pot By Jacqueline BigarKing Features Syndicates

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH You have the ability to bring people together, whether it’s for a fun time or for a group commitment. You might get some lak from an associate or a loved one. Make a point to let it go, as this too will pass.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH You could have the idea of trying something diferent, only to have someone pull you in to help handle a responsibility. You might not be as sure of yourself or of your choices as you would like. Open up to potential change.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH You could be questioning what you want to do with a key partnership. As a result, your inquiries are likely to open new doors. A solution you hear might be somewhat ofbeat, but it is likely to be successful.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH You might break past the normal boundaries of a friendship and have to deal with a considerable amount of dis-comfort as a result. You could go to extremes to ease some of the tension. Do not worry so much.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH The attention you seem to be getting from those around you will let you know that you have a lot going on. Understand that sometimes people have an odd way of demonstrating their caring.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH While you look around and notice others having fun, you might wonder exactly what you are hoping to accomplish. Honor a need for a change of pace. Understand that you might need to take some time away from a project.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHH Your playfulness will emerge, even if you don’t want it to. That twinkle in your eye says it all. Try to position yourself in such a way that your levity is greeted warmly. A new friend could be very intense about his or her feelings.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH Take your time when changing directions. Your deci-sion to enter a more positive situation could revolve around your family or an important investment. You might want to get some feedback from a trusted pal.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You might want to see a situation from a diferent perspective. Reach out to diferent people who tend to think outside the box. A brainstorming session could present you with some unique ideas and solutions.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Be aware of your i-nancial responsibilities within a relationship or commitment. You might not be able to back away from your position. Know that you will have to work through this issue. Learn to trust this person more often.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH How you deal with a personal matter could change because of a discussion involv-ing important information and someone else’s expression of car-ing. You might have been wonder-ing about this person’s feelings; now you’ll have your answer.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH You sometimes need to pull back, especially if you’re feeling moody. Reach out to someone at a distance, as this person tends to give you a lot of feedback and insight. Your ability to use this information usefully remains high.

Dear Annie: Two years ago, a good friend died of a heart attack. His wife, “Sally,” asked me to help her get rid of his things, which I was happy to do, and I soon found myself mowing her lawn and doing chores around the house. Here is the problem: I am a happily married man and father of four. I have been married for 25 years and love my wife dearly, but I have also come to the conclu-sion that I have fallen in love with Sally. I have no desire to start an a�air, but I struggle very hard with the fact that I am in love with two women. How do I resolve this?

— Heart Split in Two

Dear Split: Please understand that the love you feel for Sally is not the same as what you feel for your wife. Men often have too little experience acknowledging how much they can love a close friend, so when it hap-pens with a woman, they conclude that it must be romantic in nature. But that’s not necessarily true.

It’s understandable to confuse this loving friend-ship with the intimacy you have shared with your wife for 25 years, and it’s OK to care deeply for Sally. But you should not do anything to encourage the friendship to be more than it is or to jeopardize your marriage.

That means limiting your contact with Sally and inviting your wife to join you when you go to Sally’s house. If you are unable to do that, it’s time to back o� completely.

Dear Annie: You two need a lobotomy. “Still Grieving” complained that she received a sym-pathy card and the person added her dog’s paw prints. There is nothing wrong with that. My dogs are my kids. I sign their names to everything, and I add a paw print for each of them. I actually put food coloring on their paws. You are obviously ignorant when it comes to the true love between pets and their owners.

— PO’d in New York

Dear New York: Add-ing your dog’s name to a sympathy card is toler-able. But a paw print is inappropriate, and we’ll stick to that whether you like it or not.

We wouldn’t add a child’s handprint (with food coloring, no less) to a sympathy card, either. Please stop thinking of yourself, and consider the person on the receiving end. But we’ll consider the lobotomy, thanks.

“You’ve heard of banks being too big to fail?” Cy the Cynic grumbled. “I guess my partner thought the winning open-ing lead was too obvious to be right.”

Cy was today’s East. When North-South got to five clubs, bidding every suit except hearts, West led ... a trump. South drew trumps and took three high diamonds. When Cy discarded, South ru�ed dummy’s last diamond and exited with a heart. West took two hearts but had to lead a spade next, else South would get a ru�-slu�. Dummy played low, and the defenders’ spade trick vanished.

HEART LEAD “Partner didn’t want to lead a heart

from the A-Q,” Cy said. “With North-South avoiding

notrump,” I said, “he should lead a heart. You take two hearts and exit, and South must break the spades.”

Actually, South could still succeed. He could draw trumps, test the diamonds and run his trumps, forcing West to

pitch a spade to keep his high diamond. Then South could, in theory, pick up the spades. Whether he would is uncertain.

This week: better opening leads.

In 1995, a sniper killed one soldier and wounded 18 others at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. (Paratrooper William J. Kreutzer was convicted in the shootings, and condemned to death; however, the sentence was later commuted to life in prison.)

TODAY IN HISTORYToday is Monday, Oct. 27, the 300th day of 2014. There are 65 days left in the year.

MY ANSWER

Colleage reacts with hostility toward God

Q: Why are some people so hostile to-ward God? A man I work with is like this; if someone even mentions God or Jesus in his presence he gets upset. I asked him once why he reacts this way, but his an-swer didn’t make any sense to me.

— Mrs. M.C.

A: Perhaps the reason his answer didn’t make any sense to you is because it doesn’t make any sense! In other words, his hos-tility toward God or Jesus isn’t based on logic or reason, but simply comes from his emotions.

He would probably deny this, of course, perhaps thinking he’s being very logical when he reacts this way. But in reality, he isn’t. Instead, he has a deep-seated hatred toward God, and whenever anyone even mentions God or says something favor-able about Jesus, he lashes out in anger and hostility. He even refuses to consider the possibility that he might be wrong,

and his mind is completely closed. As the Bible says, “Fools find no pleasure in un-derstanding” (Proverbs 18:2).

Why is your colleague like this? Only he knows the answer (if he’s ever really thought about it). He may, for example, be reacting against his parents’ faith, or perhaps he likes to think he’s smarter than people who believe in God. But the real answer is deeper than this: he simply wants to run his own life. He doesn’t want anyone telling him what to do or how to live — especially God.

Pray for this person; only God can break through the hard shell he’s built around his mind and heart, and convince him of his need of Christ. And pray too that your life will be a living testimony to Christ’s love and joy. Remember Jesus’ words: “You are the light of the world” (Matthew 5:14).

By Stacey EwellSpecial to The Weekly

Germantown residents interested in serving on city commissions can now apply for appoint-ments, which begin Jan. 1. The commissions and boards, appointed by the Board of Mayor and Al-dermen, generally act in an advisory capacity to elected oicials and city departments in planning, inance, recreation, educa-tion, development, beau-tiication, transportation, personnel and other areas.

“Citizens as commis-sioners and board mem-bers share extraordinary

expertise and interest with elected oicials and pro-fessional staf,” said May-or Sharon Goldsworthy. “Not only do they provide valuable input to decisions eventually made by the Board of Mayor and Alder-men, some commissions also develop and conduct activities that beneit the community, such as the Se-nior Expo and Safety City.”

Applications forms are available at Municipal Center, 1930 S. German-town Road, or online at germantown-tn.gov/com-missions. Forms are due by Nov. 28. Send completed applications to [email protected]

or the address listed on the form. The Board will appoint board and com-mission members in mid-December.

Generally, commissions meet once a month. Some with subcommittees or special activities require additional sessions. An alderman serves as liai-son to each commission or board. Most terms are for one year.

For more information, contact City Clerk Dotty Johnson at [email protected] or 901-757-7251.

Stacey Ewell is the assistant to

the City Administrator.
