WELCOME | COLLIERVILLE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

Welcome to Collierville O

n behalf of the Collierville Board of Mayor and Aldermen it is my privilege to extend to you a warm welcome to Collierville.

The citizens of Collierville take great pride in the fact that the quality of life in our community is unparalleled in the Mid-South. During the past five years, Collierville has been deemed as one of the safest cities in Tennessee, one of the best communities for young families, one of the best cities for job seekers, and, recently, Collierville was classified as a Cosmopolitan Suburb by the Demand Institute.

Our long-range strategic plan for Collierville carries a commitment to maintain a business environment that fosters growth, economic development opportunities,

and prosperity for all.

We find that people are consistently drawn to Collierville because we have all the amenities and services of a large metropolitan area tastefully blended with our historic charm. Although we soundly rest on the foundations of our history and culture, we are a vibrant, progressive community with a firm focus of keeping Collierville one of the most desirable towns in the South in which to live and work.

a broad range of shopping, restaurants, and special events for all ages and lifestyles. In addition to the locally owned shops and boutiques on Historic Town Square, Collierville offers a wide range of national retailers, specialty stores, and restaurants offering a diversity of cuisine.

I’m especially proud of the working relationship

we have developed with the Collierville Chamber of Commerce, and I know many of our local businesses lean heavily on the chamber as a support resource.

I encourage you to join us, and “Live Life Local” in Collierville.

WELCOME | COLLIERVILLE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

Pride of Place C

ollierville is an amazing place to live life local. Sit on a bench in our Historic Town Square and you will see small business owners opening shops, local leaders checking in on projects, and corporate executives grabbing a cup of coffee on the way to the office.

It is the people of Collierville who make it such a special place. There is a sense of community and pride that is not found anywhere else.

Collierville’s pride is in its history, and its success continues through the town’s vision for the future.

It is an exciting time to be part of Collierville.

Road and infrastructure improvements are under way, making the area safer and more accommodating, and numerous new residential and commercial projects are dotting the landscape.

The start of the 2014 school year marks the beginning of the highly anticipated Collierville Schools district. Our own municipal school district will mark a new chapter for

our town; quality schools are vital for a successful local economy. Our school system will further attract high-caliber talent to our local companies and draw new business to the area.

We are proud of the hard work and dedication of our new school board and the positive effect these dedicated educators will have. The school board has worked to recruit the highest quality administrative staff, and Collierville Schools will set the example for other municipalities.

When I first became involved with the chamber, I was greeted by a warm smile and a hug. I knew right away that I was becoming part of something special. I want to thank the chamber President and CEO, Fran Persechini, and the chamber staff for their dedication, generosity, and love for the community.

The chamber is constantly working to add value for our members. We provide networking and business development opportunities that drive business and help

| Matt VanCleve, 2014 Chairman, Collierville Chamber of Commerce

8 C o lli er vi lle | 2 014 -2 015

our members grow. We are improving our chamber building to allow for distance learning and conferencing.

We provide a job bank where businesses can find qualified, local prospects, keeping Collierville employed. Our chamber continues to serve a major role in the economic development in our town.

I am honored to serve as the Chairman of the Collierville Chamber board.

I am humbled to be part of such an impressive group of community and business leaders who are invested in Collierville. It is through their leadership that our chamber continues to grow

and prosper. Our chamber is made up of small, medium, and large businesses that represent various industries and organizations. The Collierville Chamber has a willingness to adapt and to not become stagnant or rigid in the way we operate, making it one of the premier business organizations in the area. It is the unity of this diverse group that creates our business community.

If you are new to the area, welcome. And, if you have been in Collierville for a while: I’ll see you on the Square.

Sincerely, Matt VanCleve

America’s Best Main Street

by Anna Cox

L

ocals and tourists alike have long praised Collierville’s Town Square and Main Street location for its unique shops and restaurants, but when Parade asked readers to nominate their favorite Main Streets spanning across the entire U.S., Collierville really started feeling the love. Out of thousands of nominations, Parade narrowed the search down to 16 towns and let the public decide the rest.

The overwhelming response resulted in Collierville making it into the final two, the championship round, against McMinnville, Oregon.

“On August 17th, exciting news broke — Collierville

|

Wins America’s Best Main Street! Collierville has won the hearts of over 47,000 citizens, and now America knows why. Our town is more than brick and mortar; it’s all about our wonderful people and their shared vision. Our Unity Creates Community,” says Fran Persechini, President/CEO of the Collierville Chamber of Commerce.

And as it turns out, Collierville and McMinnville have more in common than charm and town pride.

Phyllis Agnew, a Collierville resident for 24 years and retired school teacher, has a son, Don Crank, who lives in McMinnville. “We’ve had some friendly rivalry,” Agnew says with a laugh.

“Obviously when it came down to it I only voted for Collierville. Don’s lived there

Collierville Historic Town Square

for about 12 years now. When we first visited him he didn’t have a place where we could stay, so we stayed on 3rd Street at the Hotel Oregon and really fell in love with it.”

She does note some striking differences though, saying, “We’re very All-American and they have some quirky things like a UFO Festival.”

When asked who she hoped would win she says, “Well, Collierville, of course!

They’re both lovely places that are near and dear to my heart, so the whole contest process has been really

exciting.”

The Collierville Square is home to businesses like Dixie Pickers, The Collierville Herald, C J Lilly & Company, Our Little Secret MedSpa, Dee Larue Designs, and more along with restaurants like the iconic Silver Caboose, so it’s easy to see why Main Street is not only the heart of Collierville but how it proved victorious, and snagged the coveted first place prize, as well as the cover of Parade magazine, showcasing the integral role the Square plays in the Town’s story. •

PEOPLE | COLLIERVILLE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

Person of the Year E. DALE JAMIESON

G

rowing up in Jackson, Tennessee, E. Dale Jamieson was accustomed to life in a small town. When he came to Memphis for law school, the plan was to move back to Jackson upon graduation and begin a life in local politics.

To the dismay of his father, Jamieson and his wife, Treila, decided to stay in the big city to spread his wings as a newly certified lawyer.

One day, he and Treila decided to take a drive and wound up in Collierville. They instantly fell in love with the tight-knit community feel that reminded them of Jackson.

So much so, they moved their family there, and Jamieson eventually set out on his own as a sole practitioner.

If the numerous accolades peppering the walls of his office are any indication, his practice has done just fine.

“My practice is primarily real estate, business formations, and mediation. As my daughter says, I’m not your Perry Mason-type lawyer.”

by Anna Cox

1 2 C o lli ervi l l e | 2 014 -2 015

Recipient of the prestigious Martindale-Hubbell legal designation for many years, he’s grateful that there is a recognition not only for technical expertise but also an emphasis on ethics, which he says is vitally important.

About being named the 2013 Person of the Year, the Collierville Chamber’s highest recognition, Jamieson says, “It had not even occurred to me that I might receive this award. To put it mildly, I was very surprised.” Matt White, 2013 Chamber Chairman, however, succinctly makes the case: “Dale embodies the spirit of the award through multiple facets including a lengthy tenure on town and nonprofit organization committees, establishing his firm and practicing law in Collierville, and choosing to raise his family in our community.”

Because he’s active in his church at Saint Andrew’s Episcopal, his practice, and nearly every aspect of Collierville, Jamieson’s effects can be seen all over town.

“The first year here I was getting my office up and running, and I had the good fortune to come in contact with the late Mayor H.W. Cox,” Jamieson says. “He was a very good friend to me, and he got me involved in the community.”

The first thing Jamieson jumped on board with was the Collierville Chamber, serving two terms as president, and he’s been a member ever since. “The project I still smile about is the site selection and construction of our chamber headquarters,” says Jamieson.

From there, he threw his hat into other arenas,

including pro bono work with the Collierville Education Foundation and chairing the Citizen Board for Baptist Hospital-Collierville.

His favorite thing about Collierville after 25 years?

“It’s the big things and the little things. All the big things everybody knows — we have a tremendous municipal school system. We’ve got it all, and it’s really well done. But it’s the little things, too, like going down to the Historic Town Square, walking around, grabbing lunch at the Silver Caboose, and everybody knowing your name. That’s a great feeling.” •

Business

Champion MCR SAFETY

C

ollierville often is recognized as a great place to live, but more companies are finding it is a great place to do business, as well.

Count MCR Safety among those companies happily at home in Collierville.

The global manufacturer and distributor of personal protective equipment moved into its 45,000-squarefoot Schilling Farms headquarters last summer.

Chief Operating Officer Glen Herald says the move has been a great one for business and for the 110 employees in the office.

Employees are enjoying the availability of nearby shopping, restaurants, and exercise facilities. It’s a monumental change from the company’s former location where amenities like those found at Schilling Farms were nonexistent.

The Collierville Chamber of Commerce recently recognized MCR Safety with its 2013 Business Champion

award. J. Terry Cochran, vice chairman of economic development with the chamber, notes the company’s track record of industry excellence and community service.

“I have been most impressed by MCR and their entire team,” says Cochran, retired CEO of Exact Commerce USA Inc. “The company is at the cutting edge of marketing, sales, and distribution and supported by a stateof-the-art informational technology system.”

MCR Safety’s current operation is a far cry from its inception. The brainchild of entrepreneur Hilliard Crews, the business was founded more than 40 years ago out of a mini-storage facility with a singular focus on selling industrial work gloves. Over time, glasses and garments were added to the product mix.

Now MCR Safety counts more than $200 million in annual revenue and the company’s three product

brands — Memphis Glove, Crews Glasses, and River City Garment — are sold throughout the U.S. and in 45 countries. About 60 percent of company revenue is derived from gloves, while eyewear, garments, and accessories split the remaining 40 percent.

In addition to the new office headquarters, MCR Safety also last summer opened a 496,000-squarefoot warehouse facility on 50 acres in nearby Piperton.

The company’s land holdings there provide room to expand the facility to over 1 million square feet. Expansion could come soon if MCR Safety’s positive trajectory holds.

Herald expects growth to come primarily from domestic market share. It doesn’t own more than a 20 percent market share in any of its product lines, so there’s plenty of room to take business away from competitors.

He also sees international growth, particularly in Brazil and other South American countries.

Herald says MCR Safety has maintained a small-business feel even as the company has grown to employ 400 people, including about 250 in its two Memphis-area facilities.

It offers extensive wellness benefits, good vacation, and benefit packages, and flexible schedules for parents.

Herald, who has worked for MCR Safety for 33 years, couldn’t be happier with his company’s new home. And the feeling is mutual. Cochran calls MCR a “true leader” in its industry. “They leave a positive footprint both in business and Collierville community service.” •

Business The Collierville Connection

B

efore there was LinkedIn, professionals relied on peers, neighbors, and friends to aid in their business referrals. It was on this basis that the idea of four Collierville women became The Collierville Connection, the oldest networking group in Collierville. “I had transferred here in 1994, and there weren’t any networking groups in Collierville,” says Polly Shipley, founding member and realtor with Crye-Leike. “We just

|

wanted to seek out like-minded women and exchange quality business leads.”

It started off as a women’s networking group, but things changed 2001. “It was getting harder and harder to recruit women only, and we had a man that wanted to join. So we amended the bylaws, and that gentleman is still a member today,” says Shipley.

The Collierville Connection group meets once a week on Wednesday at 8 o’clock in the morning at Page Robbins. The first meeting of the month is a business meeting, but the other three feature speakers.

The Collierville Connection

“We recently brought in a woman from Dress for Success to speak, and we gave her clothing and monetary donations,” says Shipley. “Our dues enable us to give it back to the community.” The dues have also made it possible to reward a $500 scholarship to one Collierville senior every year since 1997.

The group is category exclusive and has a cap of 25 members to ensure that everyone reaps the maximum benefit. “Most members are long term, but we’re always looking for new membership.

We swap leads, and you might

have one person could help five other people in the group through referrals,” says Shipley.

years, as CP was acquired

by IPS, the plumbing and construction suppliers have grown with the town. These days, IPS employs 165 in Collierville, manufacturing plumbing fittings and roofing supplies, manning the division headquarters, and distributing products both from their Los Angeles facility, which manufactures adhesives and solvents, and the Collierville plant.

“The [biggest] advantage of being in the Collierville area is distribution,” say IPS’ Plumbing Division President Nick Cassella. “The ability to ship products anywhere in the country in one or two days is a huge advantage.”

Cassella says that although the construction economy, crucial not only for IPS’s growth but also the economy at large, has

|

recovered significantly from the recession of 2009, there’s still plenty of room to grow. And IPS stands ready to take advantage of that opportunity. “During the downturn, we invested in the business, both in equipment and in people. So we got more targeted new products out to the industry. And we’ve definitely taken market share from our competition in that time.

“The Collierville Chamber of Commerce is very open and accommodating to business, so that’s been a big plus for us that is particular to Collierville,” Cassella continues. State and local incentives have helped IPS create jobs and save money on utilities, and they have found chamber membership very helpful in other ways.

“For example, we want to

have a safe workplace,” Cassella says. “We’ve had a continued focus on safety in our plant, and the fact that Carrier and Philips Bodine are members of the chamber have allowed all three companies to kind of benchmark each other’s safety programs and wind up with a best of all worlds.

And that wouldn’t have come about without the Collierville Chamber.”

andy Barrios embarked upon her second career by accident one day while shopping in Park City, Utah. She and her husband, John, wandered into a small shop that was selling gourmet olive oils. “We’re both foodies,”

Sandy says. “We were totally intrigued. We had been to Italy a few years earlier and had brought back some really great balsamic vinegar, but we had never been able to find anything comparable to that.”

She went back every day to the little shop, learning everything she could about the flavored premium olive oils and balsamic vinegars they were selling, and was struck by the notion of opening a little place of her own back in Collierville.

“I just fell in love with the idea.”

She had no retail experience, having been a partner in an insurance firm for the last three decades. “I had recently sold my half of the business, and I wasn’t really looking for a new career. But I thought that this area could support something of this nature.”

A few short months later, Barrios opened Bazaar, A

Crazy Little Food Shop, her own olive oil and gourmet food shop in Carriage Crossing.

Even though it has been a very steep learning curve, she says, “We’ve been very well received.

We’re in the land of butter and bacon grease. We thought we would have to go through a year of educating our audience. Far from it.”

Customers have embraced Bazaar, A Crazy Little Food Shop’s selection of infused olive oils, which are all fresh from growers spread all over the world from Tunisia to Australia. From the familiar Tuscan herb blend, suitable for dipping bread with an Italian meal, to more exotic fare like espresso-flavored vinegar, Barrios says the cooking possibilities are endless. “You can gain nutritional value and flavor at the same time.”

Mercedes-Benz of Collierville

T

rudy HigginbothamMoody, President of Merdeces-Benz of Collierville, was raised in the automotive dealership business. Her father, Dennis Higginbotham, founded the family’s first dealership in the 1970s, and she and her brother, Wallis, couldn’t wait to follow in his footsteps.

“Our family business has always been focused on what is best for the customer,” Higginbotham-Moody says.

“We structure our operation around that. Traditionally, consumers don’t picture car dealers operating in that way, although that’s how our dad

founded the business. I’ve seen the industry become much more focused on taking care of the customer. I think that’s given us an edge, because that’s how we’ve always operated.”

This makes the family’s operations a good match for Mercedes-Benz, and they are now celebrating their twentieth year representing the luxury automotive brand, first in Daytona Beach, Florida, then in Jackson, Mississippi, and Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

“We’re consistent winners of their Best of the Best award,” she says. So when MercedesBenz set their sights on Collierville, they called the Higginbothams.

Since the new state-ofthe-art, 44,000-squarefoot, eight-acre dealership opened on the last day of

March 2014, they have serviced 1,700 customers.

The dealership offers not only the top of the line Mercedes-Benz automobiles, like the S-Class, but also a large selection of pre-owned vehicles. “Customers can feel it when they come in. It’s not stuffy, it’s not pretentious.

It’s a place where people are happy and excited,” Higginbotham-Moody says.

“We want it to be the easiest, fastest experience possible.

We want their business, and we want to be their go-to dealer. And not just for Mercedes. If their child is turning 16 and wants a pick up truck, we can find it for them. We’re thrilled to be there, and we’re excited and grateful for the reception we have received from the community.”

n 1964, students at the Nadine Vosse Smith School of Dance performed in their first recital in a one-room studio in Memphis. This May, more than 175 dancers from Collierville’s NVS Dance carried on that tradition in the studio’s 50th annual performance.

NVS Dance currently includes four rooms, an in-house dance boutique, and 12 premiere instructors with more than 100 years of combined experience.

Dancers from ages 3 to 18 take jazz, tap, ballet, lyrical, musical theatre, hip hop and pom pom, tumbling and yoga classes in the studio throughout the year with a performance each fall and spring. Known nationwide for its top technique and choreography, around 100 dancers take part in the studio’s award-winning competitive regional and national teams, boasting 19 national titles and consistent regional top studio recognition. NVS alumni have gone on to dance professionally in California, New York, Europe, and Canada, with many others earning scholarships to dance at the collegiate level.

At age 70, the studio’s namesake is still in the studio every day. Fifty years since that first recital, Nadine Smith’s proudest achievements are the lessons that she says will stay with her dancers long after their time at the studio. “I’m just proud that we have trained these dancers for life lessons,” Smith says. “Some of them do go on to dance professionally and in college, but we feel like the training they get from competition has trained them in more than just dance, but also for the things they need.” — Katherine Barnett

First Tennessee

I

t hardly seemed the best time to start a new business in Memphis.

The Civil War was raging, and after a 90-minute naval battle Memphis had been captured by the Union forces. But that uncertain economic climate didn’t dissuade Ohio businessman Frank Davis from opening a bank in 1864. It would be the first federally chartered bank in Memphis, and shortly after obtaining charter #336 from the U.S. Department of the Treasury, the First National Bank began operations in a two-story building on Madison, just a few blocks from the Mississippi River.

A lot has changed since then, including the name of that bank. Now you know it as First Tennessee, and, in 2014, the great local institution celebrates 150 years.

In a recent Chairman’s Letter, Bryan Jordan, chief executive of First Tennessee’s holding company, told shareholders, “In challenging times, the successful company adapts and strives to excel. In the future, my guess is that bank branches will not look anywhere like we are accustomed to seeing today.

Customers might only go there every six months or so, maybe only once a year.”

As the brick-and-mortar structures evolve, one constant will be the human presence. “If you sit with me and hear people say why they love our bank, it’s never because our money is any greener than any other bank’s,” he says. “It’s always about people — because we have built these relationships with people over a long period of time. So people, and the role they play in our business, will always be important.” — Michael Finger

veryone has their moments where they forget where they left their keys or where their sunglasses are, but when a friend or loved one starts showing signs of deeper memory loss it’s often confusing where to start.

That’s where the Baptist Memory Care Center comes in. Offering free testing checkup services, the Center aims to connect individuals who may be suffering from Alzheimer’s, dementia, and other memory related issues, and their caregivers with free screenings and other community resources.

Their licensed clinical social workers provide free memory screenings by appointment and no referral is needed. They also share results of a memory screening with caregivers and primary care physicians, as appropriate, to keep their whole care team informed and up to date which takes the burden off of you to relay the specifics.

Along with screenings, and diagnoses of Alzheimer’s, dementia, the staff at Baptist Memory Care Center helps guests and their caregivers find resources for local home care, respite care, day care, driving safety, community events, emotional guidance, and other related needs. Having all of your options on the table can better equip you to make the best decision during this time of change. But there might be times when you’re still overwhelmed with everything, and they want to be able to help with that, too. In an effort to offer complete support for both guests and caregivers during this transition, BMCC provides caregiving classes, community outreach services, support groups, and advanced care planning.

Take comfort in knowing that there are people who are knowledgeable, ready, and willing to help guide you and your loved ones to the best path for your individual needs and long term care. It can be a trying time, but with BMCC you’re not alone in the process. • — Anna Cox

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT | COLLIERVILLE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

On the Horizon Leveraging Collierville’s assets to invest in the future.

E

conomic development in Collierville is on a more direct course thanks to a new partnership between the Town and the Collierville Chamber of Commerce, as well as a new man at the helm.

John Duncan began his role as the Town of Collierville Director of Economic Development about seven months ago. Duncan has been hired to organize and manage the Town’s economic development efforts. It’s a post he is comfortable in, having previously worked as VP in Business Development for the Greater Memphis Chamber.

And the benefits of the partnership already are beginning to show. After several months of research, in depth conversations and extensive market analysis, an economic development brand initiative has been created. “‘ACCESS Collierville — Organized for Success’ is the brand that will be fully utilized to

|

Right: John Duncan

24 C o lli ervi l l e | 2 014 -2 015

help promote the Town’s economic development story,” Duncan says. “On the horizon, are plans to launch a new economic development website, full of data and metrics for site selectors and developers.”

“Things are just as busy at the Chamber.” says Terry Cochran, Executive Committee member, who has led the Economic Development charge for several years for the Chamber.

Cochran added, “Through grants from the Economic Development Growth Engine (EDGE) and the Town, the Chamber successfully launched on its website, Phase I, Welcome to Collierville (WTC) Program, ‘Open For Business,’ a media, marketing and communication initiative.

Now, the Chamber will launch Phase II and Phase III, of our WTC Program focusing specifically on businesses, workforce development and education over the following two years.”

During the first-year

of funding, the Chamber added a Job Bank to its website, began housing the nonprofit organization Leadership Collierville, chartered a distinguished Toastmasters International Club, established a Young Professional Council for young professionals under 40, and established a Business Executive Roundtable of 15-20 key business leaders to provide a confidential peer network.

The Chamber is in the process of upgrading its security and adding technologies to facilitate distance learning opportunities available via universities, webinars, and educational and professional development seminars.

Plans are underway for the production of the second of three videos focusing on highlighting businesses headquartered in Collierville

and promoting not only the Town’s business-friendly environment but also why Collierville was ultimately chosen as their base of operations.

On the horizon in year two, Cochran says, “the funding will include the production of a third video focusing on the outstanding public, private, and higher education opportunities offered in Collierville.” He continues, “Duncan’s hire means a shift in strategy. Since John’s come on board, the Chamber has changed its direction to retention and expansion.”

Duncan explains that the dual roles of the Chamber and the Town are distinct but complementary. His work will focus on recruitment, marketing and promotion.

The industries Collierville wants to attract are clearly defined, with three distinguishable targets: corporate offices; light manufacturing, warehouse and distribution facilities; and, industry clusters.

Collierville Chamber ribbon cutting |

A promising Request for Information Duncan has responded to is a company looking for 150,000-square-feet of space: 50,000 for office operations and 100,000 for warehousing and fulfillment.

That particular set up sounds quite familiar to Cochran, who retired as CEO of Exact Commerce USA Inc. in 2012. He moved the wholesale furniture company to Collierville about 20 years ago, into a 40,000-square-foot building on South Street. After outgrowing that building, Exact Commerce USA Inc. purchased 12 acres at Progress Road and Shelby Drive, where it built, and still operates, a 100,000-square-foot office and warehouse complex.

Duncan added, “Our prime location, at the crossroads of State Route 385, Interstate 269 and Highway 72, provides strategic access to markets, clients, prospects and the Quadra-modal assets of Memphis, the river, runway, rail and roads, in addition to providing access to award-winning schools, vibrant neighborhoods, impeccable parks, openair shopping, fine restaurants, low crime and a nationally recognized historic town square.”

“It’s a great community, and I’m excited to continue to grow, work with the Chamber, and see what we can be.” •

He cites a painful incident from his past as an example of how the Toastmasters program helped him. “My ďŹ rst-ever speaking engagement was in another city, before a Fourth of July crowd. There were 80,000 people there, and the guy before me said everything I was going to say. I blew it completely. That wouldn’t happen now. Now, I could come after someone with exactly the same information and present myself in a much better light than I did that day.â€?

But public speaking is only the tip of the iceberg for the organization. “The mission of Toastmasters is to provide an environment conducive to learning communication skills and developing leadership traits. It’s a mutually supportive environment. We allow people to take risks. There’s no stigma associated with failure. You’re there to learn, to get better at what you’re doing.�

Townley says mutual respect is the key to the Toastmasters philosophy. “We teach how to lead a group of people through motivation rather than the whip of direction.� The Collierville Chamber Speakers Toastmasters Club meets every Thursday at noon. For more information call 853-1949.

Commerce businesswomen together to discuss the unique issues they face in trying to balance work and life.

“The interesting thing about the group is, it’s very diverse,” says Harden, a Christian life coach.

“There are a lot of entrepreneurs.

We have some who are managers at FedEx, and we have a lot of people who are involved in small businesses around the Collierville area.

Then we have financial advisors, insurance agents, people who have small, home businesses such as interior designers — we have all different aspects of professionals.”

Every meeting has an invited keynote speaker geared towards helping members become more professional, more successful, and more independent. Past speakers have included business coach Gwendolyn Tucker and Shelby County District Attorney Amy Weirich. Harden says the sessions are interactive and informal. “Our speakers don’t just get up and lecture. We give our members some information and then we figure out how we can apply that information to our daily lives both at work and at home. So you can walk away from the meeting with some material that you can actually apply to what you do.”

The group also embarked on a program based on Stephen R. Covey’s motivational work, The 8th Habit: From Effectiveness to Greatness. “It’s a yearlong study that teaches you how to create a vision and a mission statement both for yourself and your professional life: how to set goals and guidelines to reach your success points.”

Now entering into its third year, Harden says she looks forward to expanding the Women’s Professional Group to help more women get the most out of life. “Sometimes women have to juggle more than men do in their professional lives. So we try to teach them time management, organizational skills, and things like that so they can combine work and family, and then have a little bit of time left over in the day for a little bit of fun.” •

Bright Future Ahead

Q+A with Superintendent John S. Aitken. by Greg Akers

F

or a decade, John Aitken was known as “Coach” to thousands of students matriculating through the halls of Collierville High School. The tall, gregarious teacher was a force of nature as he taught math and coached the Dragons basketball team — beginning in 1983. His was a welcoming presence that encouraged intellectual curiosity and commanded respect.

In 1993 he became assistant principal at the newly opened Houston High School, and after five years, he was promoted to principal. He served Houston for 16 years before another major promotion, this time to the central office of Shelby County Schools.

He wasn’t in the school system administration office long before Dr. Bobby Webb went on sick leave, and Aitken became acting superintendent.

And then, history came calling,

|

John S. Aitken

3 0 C o lli er vi ll e | 2 014 -2 015

Aitken was thrust into a politically charged situation that saw a consolidation of Memphis City Schools and Shelby County Schools.

Aitken weathered the situation: with leadership, a steady hand at making decisions, and, most importantly of all, always keeping the school children first.

At the end, a great thing happened for Collierville: The town voted to form its own school system, Collierville Schools, and “Coach” Aitken became Superintendent Aitken.

In July, I sat with Aitken in his office in the system’s new administration building, located in the historic building that housed, most recently, Collierville Middle, before that Collierville High, and before that, all of the Collierville school system, from first to twelfth grade.

How crazy does it feel to be back in this building?

It’s pretty surreal. [Laughs.]

When I started consulting with the town last year [before being named superintendent], I came through the building because this was where they were planning on having administration offices. I said, “Oh my goodness, are we going to be ready?” But I have to give kudos to the town, because they got us in here and they’ve done an amazing job with it.

Did you always want to go into administration?

No, probably not even when I was teaching you when you were here in 1992. I love teaching and coaching, but I thought maybe I need to make a little more money, so I moved into administration. And I had no desire to go to [SCS] central office, even as a principal. Dr. Webb would call, and I’d tell him, “I’ve got the best job in the county, why would I want to leave this? I’m having fun: good

And then Jody [John’s wife] said, “If you don’t go, you’re going to regret it, or even if you don’t regret it, you’re going to think that you would have.”

Did you coach anything else besides basketball?

My first couple of years I coached freshman football, and they quickly realized I was a basketball coach. God bless those kids.

Then you went to Houston. What was it like going from a classroom to a whole school?

It was fun. It was the first senior class the year I went. There were a lot of traditions being established. I was able to form a lot of good relationships. It was hard leaving coaching, and it was hard leaving some of my friends here. But we lived close enough. I’ve still lived in Collierville since 1983. I feel like we established a pretty good tradition over there. High school principal is a good job. It’s a tough job, and it’s a tougher job now than it was when I had it, with changes in evaluation and special education. But if you’re in it for the right reasons, it’s a very rewarding job.

You get to help a lot of kids and families out if you do it right.

How many schools, teachers, students are in the new system?

Eight schools, total. One high school: Collierville High will probably have about 2,100 students. Two middle schools: Schilling Farms Middle and the new Collierville Middle will each have around 1,000. And five elementary schools: Bailey Station, Collierville, Crosswind, Sycamore, and Tara Oaks, all adding up for a total in the system of right at 8,000.

There will be 700 employees when you count teachers, administrators, clerical, psychologists, cafeteria — all the things that go into running a school system.

It’s going to be a pretty good size school district.

It’s a little daunting to watch the growth out here now, the boom since January. I talk to realtors who say how the inventory of houses is really low because people are buying them up because of the schools. We’re going to see some growth and will have to look at some facility

needs in the next couple years. And of course that costs money, so you have to make sure you’re working with the town. Interesting ride, but, man, it’s fun.

[Laughs.]

You’ve probably learned a few things.

I thought I knew a lot, but dealing with Shelby County Schools and going through that really made me learn a lot.

And starting this has been a pretty good learning curve. But it helps because we’ve hired a lot of people around the six of us who worked in Shelby County Schools and have been able to adopt a lot of the practices we felt made us successful there.

Do you have more control now?

When you’re in a big school district like Shelby County, you have different people doing different things. For me now as superintendent of a small district, many of those responsibilities people used to come to me for approval or to bounce ideas off of, it’s on me and few others to do now. That part’s been fun. You have to get down in the weeds pretty good and get the minor details worked out that were already worked out at Shelby County Schools.

I’m home and able to work for the community that has given me and my family so much. I know it sounds kind of cheesy, but this community has meant a lot to us. And the town: just, wow. And kudos to my board out here. They have hung in there and are dedicated to the cause. The biggest difference from my previous role is that you have five board members who live in this community.

They’re accessible, you see them at Chili’s, at Kroger, at Home Depot, at Mensi’s, Sunset on the Square. That’s the local control you hear everyone talk about: accessibility, people who are invested in this town.

As different as things are, when the doors open, the same subjects are going to be taught that have always been taught.

That’s exactly right. I made the comment one time to a board. What should parents expect the first day of school? I hope every child walks into their school building and don’t notice any difference at all other

Look in the crystal ball.

Our goal since January has been to be operational and do the aspirational stuff later, once we get the kinks worked out the first couple weeks of school. The five year plan includes more than facilities.

Your programming should drive your facilities, not enrollment. Extracurricular activities, including athletics, are such an important part of the school day.

Arts and service: students developing relationships in the community, helping others out, getting into the mindset to be a good community member.

The biggest change you’ll see is that, before, the town has been split with two high schools; but, everyone’s going to be a Dragon now. One big community, one big high school. Let’s take every program we have down to the lowest level. That’s what really excites me.

If we do end up building a new high school somewhere, let’s make it a nice one, that’s comprehensive to fit the needs of every student. And community facilities need to be for the community.

When you have a first-class facility that offers everything that this town does, let’s work a partnership where we can use some of ours to help them and vice versa. And we’re already on our way with those conversations. That’s what gets me excited, how the town and the school system can work together.

I’m going to ask you a question you’ve asked me and a bunch of other people before: will you tell me what the Pythagorean Theorem is?

[Laughs.] I sure could. First of all, what kind of triangle does it apply to? [Laughs harder.]

Okay, that’s all I remember from your geometry class.

That’s all I taught you? You don’t remember geometric proofs? Probably a nightmare for you. [Laughs.] •

Collierville Reads Collierville Literacy Council empowers participants with so much more than just the ability to read.

by Anna Cox

F

ormed in 1987, the Collierville Literacy Council began as a small group of citizens who saw a need for literacy services.

Today, the nonprofit has grown

3 8 C o lli ervi l l e | 2 014 -2 015

and transformed into a premier educational resource.

“When we started, it was just adult literacy,” says Karen Ray, Director of the Collierville Literacy Council (CLC).

“As more people from other countries moved into the area, we added an ESL program, and when we started hearing about the dropout rate in high schools, we added a GED program.”

Last year, the CLC served a total of 670 adult students, with around 220 coming from their GED program. That means the CLC helped more than 220 students attain their high school diplomas and improve their prospects in the work force. “We’re really proud of the services we provide because there are a lot of people in the Mid-South who need what we can help them with,” Ray says.

“We are fortunate to be a

great community with great schools and parents, but we still see a fairly significant rate of people who don’t get their diploma or people who can’t read at a level comprehensive enough to function in the work place,” says John Barrios, CLC’s 2014 Board President.

While priorities go to those who live in Collierville, the CLC accepts all. Since there can sometimes be a stigma attached to adult illiteracy, the CLC provides individual tutors for each of the three programs.

This way, each student learns at his or her own pace and can meet the benchmarks they set for themselves. “Most of these students have been in a classroom setting before and have not succeeded in the past,” Barrios says.

More than 150 individuals volunteer as tutors for the CLC programs — some have

teaching backgrounds but just as many don’t. All that prospective volunteers have to know is reading English.

“We have a small but prepared and professional staff,” says Ray. “Tutors know that they can come to us at any time.

Even the ones who don’t have a teaching background feel comfortable.”

Typically, students meet with tutors once a week for around two hours, all coordinated around a schedule that fits the needs of both the student and their tutor.

Meeting places vary just as much as the scheduling. Ray says, “For ESL students, there’s no stigma in not speaking perfect English since they’re

new to the country, but most of our students don’t necessarily want the rest of the world to know they need our services for education or learning.” For this reason, the CLC provides classrooms in their office building, which is a provided as an in-kind donation from the Town of Collierville.

There is no set school year or curriculum for students, so when they come in to ask for help, their individual goals become their personal finish line.

“Collierville is a very diverse community,” says Barrios. “We have a lot of people who come here from other countries who are employed by big companies, such as FedEx or International Paper. While the individual working might speak fairly fluent English, their spouse may not.

For that spouse to be integrated into our community, they might want to improve their language skills.” So whether that’s to communicate with teachers at a child’s school or to simply better understand those around them, the ESL service makes the cultural transition significantly easier.

“From a town and economic perspective, we’re providing these services that are beneficial to the business and education community,” says Barrios.

“If we can help those who have slipped through the cracks move up a level in their reading or language proficiency, it benefits the community and the impact is greater.”

To increase this impact, the CLC launched its second community-wide reading program, Collierville Reads 2014. The program aims to encourage reading for pleasure across age lines with Bob Greene’s book Once Upon a Town: The Miracle of the North Platte Canteen. There will be a series of public programs throughout the fall. The Town of Collierville has declared September “Collierville Reads Month,” and the series will conclude with a Collierville Canteen on the Town Square in November. At that event, Collierville Reads will partner with Forever Young Senior Veteran Wish for a Veteran’s Day celebration .

The ripple effect of all of these literacy services is far greater than many realize.

The CLC’s efforts are truly making a difference in the self-improvement and social welfare of those in the Collierville community. • colliervilleliteracy.org

Collierville Canines at Work Just What the Doctor Ordered

aisy never worries about being late for her job. After all, she arrives each morning with her “boss,” Herbie Krisle, executive director of Page Robbins Adult Day Center. There she greets, comforts, listens to, and smiles for the day care’s clients and their families.

Many Page Robbins clients — or “participants,” as Krisle

|

describes them — have memory or cognitive impairment.

Others are frail and physically at risk. Their caregivers bring them to the facility each morning for activities that range from sing-alongs, artwork, and storytelling to interaction with animals.

“We have used Mid-South Therapy Dogs & Friends for awhile,” says Krisle. “They have brought us more breeds than I can count, along with other animals such as Pearl the llama and Nestle, the miniature donkey. Those animals are just incredible with our people here.” Seeing that positive effect strengthened Krisle’s belief that participants would benefit from having their own in-house dog, so she did some research about which kind would be best.

“We knew we needed one that was light-colored,”

Daisy, Page Robbins therapy dog

40 C o lli ervi l l e | 2 014 -2 015

she says, “no brown or black because people with dementia have trouble with depth perception and visual acuity. When the dog would be panting and happy, all the people might see would be the teeth, and that could be frightening.” She also wanted a breed whose head would be the right height for people in wheelchairs and whose shedding was minimal — a characteristic that would cut down on housekeeping costs and allergic reactions.

Daisy, the “labradoodle” is the perfect combination: a mix of golden retriever and standard poodle. “We are absolutely thrilled with her,” says Krisle. “ She has that doting disposition of a labrador.”

Krisle knows firsthand the health benefits an animal can impart. “I had high blood pressure awhile back, and my physician wrote on a prescription pad, ‘Get a dog.’

He explained that petting a dog reduces blood pressure.” Today she has a full house — a Great Dane, a terrier, and a cat. “And I take Daisy home with me at night. She gets along well with them all.”

At Page Robbins, the 2-yearold Daisy’s busiest time is in the afternoons. “We have participants who frequently get a bit anxious then,” explains Krisle. “Daisy takes their minds off that. They can pet her and rub her belly. She may hop up on the sofa beside them. She’s well-behaved. And if somebody really seems to need Daisy, we

take her to that person.”

Naturally, a couple of participants aren’t crazy about canines. “One woman said, ‘Look at them, they’ve got that dog in the house!’” recalls Krisle, who adds that the staff respects each person’s feelings — when assessing the participants they ask about allergies and other potential issues. “But for most of our people, Daisy has a calming effect. She helps normalize life.”

“Daisy is also a good conversation starter and icebreaker,” continues Krisle.

“Family members come to see me about something and Daisy will wag her tail in greeting and help ease any tension.”

“We can’t imagine not utilizing pets here, “ concludes Krisle. “To see the smiles on participants’ faces and the tactile stimulation they receive — it all helps so much.”

Staging a Disaster Rescue dogs are put to the test at this unique Collierville facility.

S

ince 1987 Norman Brown has owned and operated a business called E-PLEX, which recycles construction material from homes and commercial buildings. But, about a decade ago he agreed to offer his property for another type of service as well, the kind that saves lives. Here on this rolling land off Shelton Road in Collierville, volunteers with Tennessee Task Force One train dogs for search and rescue — dogs like Dutch, a brindlecolored German Shepherd, and Ben, a lively black lab, both of whom play with tug toys. The task force, one of only 28 in the

nation, is made up of various emergency response personnel as well as volunteers from the community; the force was one of the first sent to the Pentagon after 9/11.

“These women came to me looking for a centrally located place in the U.S. where they could build courses that resemble a disaster site,” says Brown, referring to task force members Deborah Burnett and Sue McManus. When buildings collapse after a tornado, hurricane, or bombing, what remains are mounds of wood, brick, stone, concrete, and steel — the very materials Brown’s company recycles.

“Before, we were training in Whiteville, Tennessee, at a home that happened to have a large rubble pile. But a recycler came and crushed it,” says Burnett, the task force’s canine coordinator and trainer; she’s also a canine evaluator and lead instructor for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). “So we lost that, and the next closest area is outside Atlanta.”

Then she talked to Brown and explained they needed piles of rubble. Brown not only had the materials but the heavy equipment to create those piles.

“He can run those machines like a sewing needle,” says

Burnett. “We’ll say, ‘How about putting a hiding spot here,’” and he’ll do it. Just the kind of spot where a person may be trapped after a disaster.”

The search and rescue dogs come from various places — gun dog trainers or hunters, animal shelters, even off the streets. McManus, who works for the Memphis Fire Department, found one running the bottoms in the Hatchie River.

Some are young, some older. “I have one that’s almost 11,” says McManus. “They usually live with and retire with their handlers.” Burnett has one who’s now retired. “He’s 14 and was a great worker.”

The animals are trained on the rubble piles — either wood or concrete — at least twice a month. (They also undergo weekly field training in Somerville, Tennessee.)

“We have 22 advanced certified dogs,” says Burnett. “We test in the national system for FEMA. At times we host the tests here, and all the teams fly here and we test them on the piles. We have it down to a science. McManus is our timer. It’s a difficult test and they don’t all pass. The test is 15 minutes at two different sites, with four to six ‘victims’ at each site. We have seven evaluators that come from all over the country — Missouri, California, New York, and other states.”

Dogs trained in Collierville have been deployed to various sites — from Alabama to Texas to New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina. Burnett and McManus had dogs that saved lives here in Memphis when the 2009 tornado struck the Hickory Hill area. “Canines Ty and Keno picked up and alerted us to a small open crack in a downed wall,” says Burnett. Rescue and medical teams were able to extract victims and survivors.

People also appreciate meeting a certified FEMA canine, says Burnett.

“Research shows people are more likely to meet an astronaut than they are to meet a rescue dog or its trainer,” she says. “There’s lots more astronauts than canines or handlers. We open up to training and let [spectators] in. These dogs are who you’re gonna see on CNN, in Haiti recently or wherever the next big disaster hits. And here you can just walk right up to them.”

And, she adds, the task force always needs volunteers to hide in rubble piles for training, testing, and classes. •

Preserving a Piece of History Morton Museum of Collierville History mixes both treasures from yesteryear with current work from local artists. by Sally Lyon

ituated at the corner of Poplar and Main Streets, in a bright white former Christian Church, the Morton Museum of Collierville History, opened in June 2012, is brimming with exhibitions of local history and art. From the rear entrance, visitors pass through the first of two galleries featuring the work of regional artists.

“Artists who live within about a thirty-mile radius of the museum are welcome to submit their work to us,” says Ashley Carver, the museum’s director. Once submitted, the artists are selected by a committee. “We had one artist who was only eight years old, so really, anyone is eligible.” Each

exhibition remains hanging from eight to ten weeks. A second, bigger gallery, adjacent to the former worship space is also dedicated to local artists.

Within the main museum space, Collierville’s history is the highlight. Beginning with the natural history of the town as a part of the Wolf River Watershed and examining the Chickasaws of the region, who hunted the lands of presentday Collierville, exhibits flow into one another and focus on important eras, from the first European settlements in 1818 and the founding of the town by Jessie R. Collier, to the arrival of railroads and the yellow fever epidemic. Perhaps the most space and detail is given

Of special note are the personal accounts and photographs of veterans from Collierville that have been lovingly collected by the museum. Future exhibits to be installed include one heralding Collierville’s history as a “Dairy Town.”

The Morton Museum’s home on Poplar is an artifact itself. Built in 1873, the carpenter gothic building served as the Christian Church worship space until 1992, and the delicate woodwork, hardwood floors, and stained glass windows are all original to the building, which was given to the town of Collierville by Morgan Morton in 2008.

The sanctuary space can hold upwards of 200 people (70 seated), offers weekly programming and activities for adults and children of all ages, a Civil War discussion group, many volunteer opportunities, and is available for event rentals.

The museum is entirely funded and maintained by the Town of Collierville.

T

he Town of Collierville Planning Department, Main Street Collierville, and Morton Museum staff recently learned that Collierville has been designated as one of the Nation’s “Preserve America Communities” by the Office of Preservation Initiatives/Advisory Council on Historic Preservation.

The Preserve America program is a federal effort to encourage and support community efforts to preserve and enjoy America’s priceless cultural and natural heritage. As a designated community, Collierville gains access to the official logo on educational and promotional materials and will be listed on a Web-based directory that showcases the Town’s preservation efforts and heritage tourism destinations. In a letter to the citizens of Collierville First Lady Michelle Obama writes, “Your community holds a treasured place in the American story, and it is through your vision and dedication that our history will be upheld and our future will be renewed.” • 20 14 - 20 1 5 | C ollierv ille 47

Recreation Lacrosse Lacrosse teams have been making their mark on MidSouth schools for years, but the last decade has shown an increased interest in the sport, with programs established in a significant number of area high schools and universities.

As the number of local teams increased, trips to Nashville and to the nearest lacrosse equipment retailer became more frequent for many parents, including Damon Waxler, owner of

Collierville’s Dixie Pickers.

Waxler saw a need and opened Battleground Lacrosse on the Collierville square just last year. The only retailer of its kind in the region, Battleground Lacrosse carries quality equipment and customized options for local teams and is building the sport’s growing presence in the Mid-South.

Peterson Lake Nature Center Arboretum Located in the heart of

W.C. Johnson Park, the Peterson Lake Nature Center Arboretum includes more than 30 species of trees across 135 acres of beautiful Tennessee green space. Through a colorful interactive brochure available online, park visitors can learn as they stroll with a full map and a checklist featuring photos, descriptions, and common and scientific names of each tree in the area. Budding green thumbs and park explorers of all ages are welcome to use this tool to discover the beauty of the

native trees and cultivars of the Arboretum, which has been Level 1 Certified by the Tennessee State Parks Service since 2008.

Green Belt at Johnson Park With 14.5 miles of trails and connectors, the Collierville Greenbelt System continues to grow through its newest section of trail, located in W. C. Johnson Park. The new 3.1 mile loop connects to the park’s boardwalk and features

traditional primitive trails for a scenic route around the lake.

The Collierville Greenbelt System was designed to support easily accessible alternative transportation, providing options for walking, running, or biking, with connections to neighborhoods and businesses. The system was designed with a long-term goal of connecting the entire Town with walkable routes.

With that in mind, the Town of Collierville submitted an application for a grant in April 2014. Proposed construction included a new greenbelt trail along Wolf River Boulevard that will connect the existing

sidewalks at the Claridge Spa Pet Resort and the Almadale Farms Residential Development, with another possible trail connection to the Halle Plantation Residential Development.

This integral connection will provide trail access to other existing trails in the Collierville Greenbelt System as well as access to W.C. Johnson Park and H.W. Cox Park without using a vehicle.

The Town received this $250,000 LPRF grant, and Phase I of the project will include a .58 mile trail, two pedestrian bridges, an observation deck for wildlife viewing and educational opportunities, and a small

trailhead with four parking spaces and entrance signage.

Maps of the Johnson Park trail and the entire Greenbelt system can be found online through Collierville Parks and Recreation. •

Your Success is our success.

The most important thing I’ve learned about banking was taught to me early in my career. My first boss explained that my responsibility as a banker was to make sure my customers were successful. That advice has stuck with me. Over 35 years later, I’ve carried this philosophy to

Tell me about your career. Why did you choose rodeo and how did you get started?

I graduated high school and I had a football scholarship to UT at Martin, so that summer I was looking for something to do. A buddy and I heard that there was a rodeo over at Arlington, Tennessee and decided to go over there and just watch it.

I got over there and actually got into bull riding that day. I kept going back every week, and one week one of the bullfighters didn’t make it, his car broke down. I ended up fighting bulls that day, or trying to, and I realized there was a little more to it than I thought.

What was your job as a bullfighter?

They’re the protector of the rider. So that’s what you do, you make yourself more desirable target than the cowboy on the ground so the bull will come to you and he can get up and get away, and then you maneuver yourself away from the bull if you can. Then, the official title was rodeo clown/bullfighter. These days it’s split up. Your bullfighters and your protectors hardly ever do comedy, they just don’t. And your comedy people don’t

What made you decide that you would rather be the bullďŹ ghter than the bull rider?

I had a guaranteed check, number one.

And I wasn’t very good at riding bulls. I was too tall, my center of gravity was way off. But I kept riding for a couple of years, until I started to work for a company and they told me, if we’re going to hire you as a bullďŹ ghter and rodeo clown, then you need to stop riding bulls because the chance of you getting hurt is too great.

So I dropped riding and concentrated on comedy and bullďŹ ghting.

How did you set yourself apart from other rodeo clowns?

One of the reasons for my success is I came from this part of the country where there were no rodeos. Most of the rodeos were west of the Mississippi River. The rodeo here was a little thing that a guy had put together, but I had not ever seen any other bullďŹ ghters. Just like you have circus acts, you have rodeo acts, and all of them seem to have kind of a formula.

I didn’t know really any of those very well, so mine didn’t follow a pattern. And that’s what made it different, and that’s what I accredit a lot of my success to. My inuence was not other rodeo clowns. My inuence was Emmett Kelly, WC Fields, Laurel and Hardy. People that I thought were funny.

Loretta Lynn is a good friend of mine.

She owned a rodeo company, and we worked together for twenty years. I heard her tell a young artist once who wanted to know how to become a success that you either need to be ďŹ rst with what you’re doing, the best at what you’re doing, or different. I’ve found that to be true, and I’ve passed that on to clowns a lot of times.

Have you had any near-death experiences being in the ring with bulls?

Oh yeah, I fought bulls for 36 years had over 100 fractures. In one injury alone, I had my pelvis broken, my left knee torn up, my right ankle broken, six ribs broken, separated shoulder, and a brain concussion. They’ll get you down. You just never quit trying to get out. And every

time you walk in the arena you just never underestimate them. I’m way too old to ďŹ ght bulls now. I coach and still teach, so I can get the feeling without getting hit.

That’s a pretty good thing.

You’ve played football, recorded music in Memphis, were a regular on the Hee Haw show for ďŹ ve years and had parts in many movies. How has all of this inuenced your rodeo career?

Everything has helped everything else. My high school coach, Fred Medlin, making an athlete out of me helped my timing and my moves to be able to ďŹ ght bulls. Music taught me timing. If you don’t have timing in comedy, you can hang it up.

I learned from television how to package my acts for the arena. I had a chance to work with people that I’ll never forget, and treasure what I learned from them, and the time I spent with them.

You grew up in Collierville and still call it home. What are some of your favorite things about the Town?

Oh yeah, I grew up here. And if I was working the Calgary Stampede in Canada or as far as Johannesburg, South Africa, I never allowed them to say that I was from Memphis, which that’s always what they wanted to do, because everybody knew where Memphis was. I always insisted, no, I’m from Collierville. When we moved here, there were probably a thousand people. Even though it’s grown, and everybody’s spread out all over, the square, to me, has held Collierville. The heartbeat is still right there in the middle of town.

I had a sign business here for 40 years.

I sold it a long time ago, but I still do signs in what little off time I have. Signs now have so much digital stuff, so sign lettering and painting, it’s a dying art. But the town square, they try to keep them original. I still love to do those kinds of old signs, and probably at least 75 or 80 percent of the signs on the square are mine.

Are you slowing down from rodeo at all?

Next year will be my 60th anniversary in the rodeo business. Sixty years is pretty much unheard of, but I still enjoy it. And the day that I don’t enjoy it, I’ll just walk out. •

Feeling at Home Collierville’s two new retirement communities are ideal for residents and rewarding for the whole family.

Culpepper Place

Culpepper Place

M

ary Daugherty moved into Culpepper Place, one of the newest retirement communities in Collierville, the day it opened, and she says she’s never been happier.

“It’s almost the next best thing to heaven. No kidding,” Daugherty says with a laugh.

“I have loved every minute of it.” Daugherty says she loves the housekeeping service that tidies up and makes the bed daily and performs a top-tobottom cleaning once a week.

Her apartment has a spacious living area and a large bedroom with a huge walk-in closet.

Culpepper Place is familyowned and operated by Foster Hospitality, headquartered in Springfield, Missouri.

The facility is situated on seven acres at 601 Wolf River

Boulevard. It opened its doors in March 2014, and it quickly began to fill up. Much of the credit for helping Culpepper get ready goes to the Collierville Chamber of Commerce, says Susan Foster of Culpepper Place. “I really love the chamber for being there through our construction process and now supporting us as we start our journey with the seniors of Collierville,” Foster says.

Tim Johnson, community director of Culpepper Place, adds, “We’ve had a huge amount of interest from the community.”

The restaurant-style dining is one of Daugherty’s favorite parts about living there because meals are custommade and residents choose from set menus given out the previous day.

There is plenty to keep the residents busy and active, too.

An exercise class is offered each morning, as well as chapel service, and dances are held every Saturday night.

Occasionally, local bands, provided through Creative Aging of the Mid-South, play at the dances. “The residents love it,” Johnson says.

Residents are taken on weekly outings that include movies, shopping, and scenic drives. Ladies can spiff up at the on-site beauty salon before they go. But what residents enjoy most is the sense of community.

Johnson explains, “They really enjoy each other’s company.”

Daugherty agrees wholeheartedly. “I’ve made so many nice, wonderful friends.”

The Farms at Bailey Station Though construction is not yet underway, Jane and Don

Castellaw have paid for their home in a new 37-acre planned retirement community, The Farms at Bailey Station, which will provide three levels of care.

When complete, the $151 million development will contain 266 luxury apartments and 63 garden homes, like the one the Castellaws purchased, which includes care for the rest of their lives. There will be an underground parking lot, reserved spaced for golf carts, and a 66,000-square-foot clubhouse with seven different dining venues. The medical campus will include a threestory medical building, 40 assisted living apartments, and 60 skilled care suites.

Construction on their home is scheduled to begin by the end of 2014, says Michelle Vincent, senior vice president for Retirement Companies of America, which will manage

The Farms at Bailey Station.

The community will be built in three phases: the homes and neighborhood first; next the medical campus, slated for construction in 2015; and the clubhouse and apartments planned for 2016.

“These projects will go hand-in-glove,” Vincent says.

As of this summer, dozens of apartments had already been reserved.

Local developer Charlie Trammell, president of Retirement Companies, says “We truly appreciate the chamber’s support in moving the project forward.” Trammell built Kirby Pines 31 years ago, and the family-owned business still manages the property. The Farms at Bailey Station and Kirby Pines are both 501(c) 3 nonprofit organizations.

In case the Castellaws need care before construction of The

Farms is complete they can go to Kirby Pines, where 750 residents currently live.

A big factor that played into the decision to go ahead and purchase the home, Jane says, is so that their children will not be faced with decisions about living arrangements for their parents. “Now we are covered for long-term care,” Jane says. •

Saint Andrew’s Episcopal Church

B

uilt in 1890, the steeple of Saint Andrew’s Episcopal Church casts its shadow each day on the northwestern corner of Collierville’s Historic Town Square. The original brass bell still hangs in the tower to call parishioners to worship — constant reminders of the church’s presence.

Between walls lined with stained glass, the pews seat around 100. But, for the parishioners who fill these seats for services each week, the legacy of the church isn’t of a congregation riding on history but on continued effort.

“If our church closed — besides us, who would care?”

This was the first question Father Jeffrey Marx posed to himself and his newly adopted congregation in 2001.

As only the fifth priest of the church since it was elevated from mission to parish status in 1978, Marx immediately

56 C o lli ervi l l e | 2 014 -2 015

began exploring ways the church could expand its role as an ongoing support system for the community.

At the time, the amount of financial support disbursed annually to charitable causes was based on surpluses in the church’s budget. So, the next question Marx asked was inspired by a sermon on the Biblical account of Zacchaeus, a tax collector who gave half his possessions to the poor. The story brought a new outreach model into motion — if the church could make a difference with a surplus, what could be done with half of everything?

Though it was a lofty goal for any congregation, the parishioners of Saint Andrew’s were up for the challenge.

Today, the 225-member congregation gives around $350,000 each year to nonprofits and community efforts in Collierville and around the world, including the Church Health Center, MIFA, Planting Faith Ministries, Page Robbins Adult Day Care, Collierville Food Pantry, Collierville Literacy Council, and the Biblical Resource Center and Museum.

The church is also a strong supporter of Memphis missionary

Norman Redwing, founder of Memphis Urban Youth Initiative, an organization that trains leaders to go to youth where they are, working to build their faith and lead them toward purposeful careers and vocations.

Led by the church’s mission statement to glorify God through prayer, work, and study, the parishioners of Saint Andrew’s are encouraged to build a personal faith that ultimately leads to the spirit of heartfelt outreach seen throughout the community.

“My hope is that people who don’t go here would say, ‘Saint Andrews helps people,’” Marx says. For this Collierville congregation, the ways to accomplish this goal are unlimited. Bearing proudly more than a century of success, Saint Andrew’s Episcopal Church continues to be a legacy to behold. •

It’s good to call attention to all we have right here at home.”

SAFETY | COLLIERVILLE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

Safe and Sound Members of the adored Special Citizens Volunteer Patrol are the eyes and ears of the Collierville Police Department. by Suzanne Thompson

C

ollierville is full of programs to help the town and its citizens, but one engaged ensemble in particular answers the call of duty more than most. A group of 25 select retirees volunteer as officers in the Special Citizens Volunteer Patrol (SCVP), an adjunct to the Collierville Police Department (CPD). While they don’t have law enforcement power, they play an important part in operations at CPD. “During the month of May, those 25 people worked 1,426 hours.” says CPD Lt. James Anthony, who oversees the program. “They take probably a third of the work done by the Patrol Division, so they free up a lot of officers to answer more serious or police-related calls.”

Harry Pittman, a retired Air Force pilot and the current Captain of SCVP, says that is one of its main goals. “We do anything we can to keep the

patrol officers on the street.”

Pittman estimates that the hours his group clocks in each year is equivalent to the time of four full-time policemen.

“They have a wide variety of careers and talents,” Anthony says. “We have one man who was a bricklayer and owned his own company and another who is a retired Campbell’s Soup executive.”

The duties they perform vary from checking on shutins to directing traffic at car accident scenes and filling in for crossing guards who call in sick. They also deliver food from the Collierville Food Pantry twice a month and help residents set up neighborhood watch programs.

Their uniforms are similar but not identical to that of CPD officers. The SCVP wear gray shirts instead of the navy ones CPD officers wear, and a blue stripe down the side sets apart the cars they drive,

| SCVP, Harry Pittman

6 2 C o lli er vi ll e | 2 014 -2 015

which have yellow flashing lights instead of the blue ones atop the cars law enforcement officers use. “They do not write tickets, make arrests, run radar, or carry weapons,” Anthony says. “If they were to roll up on something, they would call it in and stand back and watch. They are there to watch and protect.

Women have been in the patrol in the past, but at present the unit is made up only of men. There is no limit

to how many years a person can volunteer, so there is always a waiting list of people interested in joining the beloved society.

In return, the CPD provides something extra that goes beyond the $1 a year they receive for their services.

“Their pay allows us to include them as part-time employees, so they can be carried on insurance,” Anthony says.

“They provide a lot of bang for our buck.” •
