see ranked below the national rate at 31.7 percent, according to the Cremation Association of North America, but the number of people choosing to be cremated is steadily rising. “It’s far more accepted and economical,” Russell said. “With in-ground burial, you have to buy a casket, embalming, a plot at the cemetery. Here you can literally be taken directly from your deathbed to the crematorium and you just get returned in your urn.” Dr. Will Jones has served as pastor of Germantown Presbyterian for three years, and said the construction of the columbarium fit in with the church’s master plan, along with its architecture and character. “Churches like ours have been building memorial gardens, places for the remains and loved ones, now for several years,” Jones said. “In addition to a place of worship like a church, on a campus like ours you can

Members of Germantown Presbyterian Church, seeing a trend toward more cremations, last Sunday celebrated the opening of the church’s Memorial Garden and columbarium. A columbarium is a structure with compartments called niches, where urns containing cremated remains are placed. The one at the church has 95 wall niches and 30 in-ground niches in a raised bed. “There’s a Southern thing about being interred at your church,” said Melinda Russell. “This is kind of a circling back of how it used to be.” Russell, a member of the church since 1999, chaired the panel that spent three years designing and constructing the garden and columbarium. In 2012, the U.S. rate of cremation was 43.2 percent, almost double the rate in 2000. Tennes-

The Germantown School Board waded through dozens of policies during a work session March 26 and debated whether to give Germantown residents a guarantee they can attend Houston Middle School if they want to. The policies ranged from accommodations for homeless students to allowing employees leave for jury duty. The meeting was the first since the board passed an interlocal agreement with Collierville to allow current students at Houston middle and high schools who live in Collierville to stay in their school through their exit grades. Board member Ken Hoover said that since the agreement, he has heard from Germantown residents who are unhappy that Collierville residents have a guarantee, while Germantown families are still waiting to see if their transfer requests will be approved. “If we don’t come out and say, ‘Germantown residents are guaranteed a seat at Houston Middle,’ then I feel like we have put Collierville residents ahead of Germantown,” Hoover said. Board President Lisa Parker disagreed. “We’re not adding any more Collierville students,” Parker said after the meeting. “They were there. We gave them the right to finish out their years at their school.” Hoover suggested issuing a guarantee that all Germantown residents who want to attend Houston Middle,

A moment of kindness and a restaurant gift card proved to be a powerful combination for Emily Tickle Thomas and her husband, Joel, of Collierville. Pregnant with her fourth son, Emily Thomas was undergoing oral cancer treatment at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in 2007. Friends called a Mexican restaurant in Houston.

A $50 gift card was waiting for the couple after her outpatient treatment. Between that and helping a friend with cancer afterward with gift cards, Thomas saw that other families needed what she got and began to pay it forward. She realizes the gift of cards won’t cure cancer, but “it’s tangible. They can get something they need.” Looking back at what her friends did for her, she pointed out on her website: “To this day, that simple gesture of kindness and generosity stands out in my mind more than any of the 2 years’ worth of CT scans and doctor’s ap-

In the News CENSUS

Population growth stagnant for metro area Memphis metro area ranks 274th in country By Tom Charlier charlier@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2572

With six of its nine counties showing population losses, the Memphis metropolitan area barely grew at all during the 12 months ending last July 1, the latest census estimates show. The metro area added 1,007

people between July 1, 2012, and last July, when the population reached an estimated 1.342 million. That growth rate — less than one-tenth of 1 percent — ranked 274th of about 380 metro areas. Metro Nashville, by contrast, grew by 1.8 percent, adding 31,153 people to boost its population to nearly 1.76 million as of last July 1. It was the 31st fastest-growing metro area. What minimal growth metro Memphis did experience was possible only because of the much

larger number of births (19,087) than deaths (11,193), the new estimates show. That “natural increase” in population, as Census Bureau oicials call it, was nearly ofset by the net migration loss of 6,681 residents. Elena Delavega, assistant professor of social work at the University of Memphis, said it’s not just the number of people leaving that should worry local oicials. It’s who those people are. “The middle class are leaving, and the poor are not,” she said.

CARDS

Dexter Muller, interim president of the Greater Memphis Chamber, said the new estimates underscore the need for intensive eforts to attract jobs and people. He said business and government leaders now are “more focused than they’ve ever been” on cultivating growth by coupling economic-development eforts with projects to enhance amenities, such as park improvements and bicycle trails. County-by-county population estimates showed that DeSoto

County is alone in the metro area in enjoying solid growth. It added 1,923 people to increase its population to 168,240. Other counties posting gains were Fayette, which added 129 people, and Tunica, whose population increased by 50 residents. On the loss side, Shelby County’s population dropped by 412 to a July 1 total of 939,465, the estimates show. Even Tipton County, long a beneiciary of suburban migration from Memphis, saw its number drop by 43.

want to send a beauty salon gift card if someone is bald or a pet store card if they don’t have pets. “Gift cards are hugely helpful,” said executive director and cancer survivor Chris West with the Wings Cancer Foundation in Memphis. Besides a family’s out-of-pocket expenses increasing when someone is diagnosed with cancer, West said, “The CDC reports one in ive families are struggling to pay medical bills. One in ten say these bills are insurmountable.” Before she officially started her nonproit group, Thomas, through social media and with help from others, hand-delivered or mailed dozens of gift cards from Kroger, Target and Walmart to Jef Hawkins and his wife, Dawn Hawkins Weaver of East Memphis during his illness. “If it hadn’t been for Emily, we would have just been in a mess. The gift cards gave us peace of mind,” Weaver said. Thomas works out of her converted guest bedroom closet oice with a folder of gift cards, her computer and her list of requests.

SCHOOLS from 1

regardless of their zoned school, could attend Houston Middle. Supt. Jason Manuel said that at this point, all those who have applied to transfer to Houston Middle would be able to. The deadline for transfer applications, both for nonresidents and residents wanting to go to a school other than their zoned school, is Friday. Manuel said he is worried about guaranteeing all transfers before that deadline. He still is conident, he said, that middle school students in Germantown will be able to enroll in the school of their choice. “In the policy discussion, the board addressed whether school sports were gender-speciic, and what would happen if a boy wanted to play a girls’ sport. Manuel said the district would follow the state school board association’s recommendation and would check with attorneys to word the policy accordingly.

ASHES from 1 also have a place of burial and reverence.” More than 80 members of the congregation attended the Memorial Garden’s dedication ceremony Sunday, including family members of the six people who were interred in the curved-wall columbarium. In addition to the niches, the Memorial Garden also includes black granite tablets set into the foundation of Evans Chapel. Inscribed on each tablet are names of those who are interred elsewhere. “Their families are here and it’s very meaningful to see that name on the wall,” Jones said. “We dedicated this as a very special place for God’s presence among all the rest of the building, and then to know just how much it meant in the hearts of these families. You could see the emotion on their faces and the grief that we all share that’s always close to the surface.”

Park projects $52 million improvement project is set to begin By Tom Charlier charlier@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2572

Shelby Farms Park oicials plan to prove that bicycles and bulldozers can coexist. Although the major digging won’t begin until summer, construction fencing is set to go up Monday within the recreational oasis located between East Memphis and Cordova. It will signal the opening phase of an ambitious $52 million efort to transform the core of the heavily used park. The fencing will seal of a corridor where a new entrance road will be constructed from Farm Road to the area of the visitors center. The new road is needed because the existing entrance of Farm Road will be consumed by what Shelby Farms oicials call the “Heart of the Park” project, which includes the expansion of Patriot Lake, construction of a restaurant and retreat center, an events stage, multiuse trails, picnic pavilion and new visitors center, as well as the planting of 5,000 to 6,000 trees. Those improvements are the latest scheduled to be built under a 2008 master plan for the park that envisioned $70 million-plus worth of projects — several of which have been completed, including an innovative playground and a pedestrian bridge over the Wolf River. Work on the biggest part of the Heart of the Park project — the

expansion of Patriot Lake from 52 to 85 acres — could begin as early as June. With Shelby Farms attracting growing numbers of bicyclists, walkers, joggers and other users, the challenge for park oicials is getting the work done with minimal disruption to visitors. “It’ll be a big construction site, but our goal is to not take away any park uses,” said Jen Andrews, director of development and communications for Shelby Farms Park Conservancy, the nonproit group that manages the park under a contract with Shelby County and generates the bulk of its funds from private sources. Attaining that goal is one of the tasks assigned to Kim Eliorriaga, recently hired by the conservancy to serve as project director for the improvements. A registered landscape architect with more than 25 years’ experience, Eliorriaga comes from San Antonio, where she had been manager of landscape design and construction at SeaWorld San Antonio and owned a design consulting irm. She also served as manager of capital projects at the National Aquarium in Baltimore. Her hiring resulted from an exhaustive search that led to the screening of more than 30 qualiied candidates, said Laura Adams, executive director of the conservancy. “Kim had all the experience and qualities that the project needed ...,” Adams said. “The ability to sit on both sides of that

desk, as client and consultant, cannot be overestimated.” For her part, Eliorriaga said that she was charmed by Memphis and intrigued by the opportunity to further enhance Shelby Farms. She said the challenges are diferent from those at her previous posts. “The scale is similar, but the mix of uses is more diverse. We’ve got an integration of nature to man’s hand here,” she said. Eliorriaga will work with consultants and architects designing the project. Hoping to avoid the cost overruns that have plagued other Memphis-area projects, she’ll provide the irms information and guidance to ensure that design deadlines are met and that inal plans conform with park oficials’ original intent. “That way, when construction documents are issued, we’ll know we’re going to be in alignment with our budget,” she said. The lake expansion will require the excavation of more than 500,000 cubic yards of dirt — enough to ill some 21,000 30ton dump trucks. That soil will be reused as the landscape around the lake is reshaped and facilities are added. The lake expansion should take a year to complete, with the construction of the facilities requiring another year after that. The planning in advance of the construction has been intense, Eliorriaga said. “We are constantly evaluating minimizing disruption to our visitors.”

Germantown Municipal Schools promoted two assistant principals to lead Houston High and Houston Middle Schools next year. Kyle Cherry will be principal of the high school and Liz Dias will be principal of the middle school. The district announced the appointments last Friday. Cherry has been an assistant principal at the high school since 2009 and has experience as a principal at the middle school level. He was previously a social students teacher and football, basketball and baseball coach. Dias has been at Houston Middle for 15 years and is currently the assistant principal. Her background is in special education. T E N N E S S E E S E N AT E

Harris pulls petition to challenge Ford

Memphis City Council member Lee Harris has taken another step toward challenging state Sen. Ophelia Ford, D-Memphis, for the District 29 seat. A petition for Harris to join the Aug. 7 Democratic primary was issued at the Shelby County Election Commission, according to the commission’s site. It doesn’t mean, though, that Harris is deinitely in the race. Completed petitions to join the Aug. 7 primaries for state and federal races aren’t due until Thursday “Although I believe voters deserve a choice, I have always said I was going to take until April 3 to make a inal decision,” he said. “There’s an eight-year incumbent in the oice with a pretty sizable inancial advantage. This decision is no small matter.” Harris, who has been on the council since 2012, has held a series of receptions over the past couple months to gauge support. Ford has held the District 29 seat since 2006. Christina M. Wright

Community theatre troupe to perform two plays in April By Renee Davis Brame Special to The Weekly

Germantown Community Theatre members will put on two plays in April. Up first, the theater will present its Spring All Children’s Theatre production, Charlotte’s Web. All performances of this limitedengagement show will play in the Belz Theatre at the Memphis Jewish Community Center, 6560 Poplar. A.C.T. is a program offered several times each year to provide children the opportunity to perform with all of the production elements that their adult counterparts often experience — sets, costumes, lighting, sound. The play follows Wilbur, an irresistible little pig, saved at birth by a sweet girl named Fern. The play will run April 10-13. Showtimes are 7 p.m. April 10, 9:30 a.m. April 11 and 2:30 and 7 p.m. April 14. The cost is $10 and $7 for children.

The theater continues its 42nd season with a hilarious take on the Shakespearean comedy “Twelfth Night,” April 11-27. The play, generously sponsored by an anonymous donor, is set in a modern era trailer park. Pink flamingos, beer koozies and Astro Turf abound as the audience venture with Viola, the Duke, Olivia and all their rowdy friends through a tale strewed with crossdressing, love notes, yellow stockings and mullets. At the helm of the “Twelfth Knight” team is director Justin Asher. For tickets or information, call 901-937-3023, or order tickets online at gctcomeplay.org. Showtimes are 7:30 p.m. Thursdays, 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and Sundays at 2:30 p.m. The cost is $21, $15 for seniors and adults and $10 for kids 12 and under. Renee Davis Brame is interim managing director with GCT.

Houston High’s top two concert bands, Wind Ensemble and Symphonic Band, will perform at Carnegie Hall April 14.

Tara Oaks Elementary hosted its fourth annual Spring Fling Carnival and Silent Auction. The event grows in popularity every year, featuring more than 35 marketplace vendors, gaming booths, inlatables and wide variety of items for silent and live auction. One of the highlights of the event was the “Pie in the Face” booth operated by ifth-graders in Student Leadership. Student leaders came up with the idea to operate the booth as part of a school project to leave a legacy. Onlookers gathered as teachers and administrators took whipped cream pies in the face to beneit the school. Funds raised from the booth remain at the school and have been earmarked for murals. Another feature of the event was the auction. More than 20 themed classroom baskets, gift certiicates, sports memorabilia and artwork were available for bid. New to the event was the addition of a

Good Health CONFESSIONS OF A MID-SOUTH MOM

Moms, how do you make yourself and health a priority?

What is progress? It’s moving forward toward a destination. It’s getting closer to a goal. It’s that positive feeling of accomplishment. And it is seen in the smile on your face and in jeans that it a little better. I have felt all of these things. Now, do you know what “stagnation” is? I certainly do. That was my past month. It was a son with whooping cough one week and a stomach virus the next. It was a tired mom with the lu and a respiratory infection. It was a “winter weather alert” that closed schools. It’s the wall

that I’ve hit. I have written about changing my attitude and my routine, and my diiculties along the way. It is hard to be disciplined with working out and with eating right, especially when you don’t want to. I get that there are people out there that love to go to the gym.

That adore the fresh air when they bike 100 miles or run 10. Unfortunately, that’s not me. What do I most enjoy? I like to read. I like to sit and watch mind-numbing TV. I like to sleep. No, I love to sleep! So when life threw me a bunch of curveballs, the routine that was so diicult to get myself into was super easy to break. Now what? The good news is that being sick allowed me to maintain my weight. I am not starting over, at least with the number on the scale. I am, however, struggling to self-mo-

tivate all over again. Life seems easier when you stop caring about your own well-being. I know. I have totally been there. I am kind of stuck there. I am writing this in a melancholy mood. We have talked about how health is not just your body, but your mind, attitude and your soul. My life consists of a few main goals: keeping the kids healthy and happy; doing well at my job; tending to my relationship with my husband; making my parents proud. But notice, there is nothing really about myself in this list.

It is all about someone or something else. I am not really sure if I know how to change that. I have been trying, but something as small as a minuscule virus can easily knock me back down. What is the answer? Maybe you other moms out there know. How do you implement these things daily in your life? How do you make yourself a priority? Right now, it’s a good day if I can shower alone without my son beating on the glass door! Let’s end on a positive note. My weight and body

fat are still the same, and that could be worse. I love my life, my kids, my husband and my work. I know that tomorrow my attitude can be diferent. What I don’t know is how to do this for me. How do I make healthy living a part of all the things I love? If you know, please share your advice with me. “Like” Good Health on Facebook and send me a message with #GoAmy. I could use it. Amy Mills lives with her husband, Donald, and two children, Abby and Mack, and her crazy dog, Boz, in DeSoto County.

TATTOO FAQS

patterson@commercialappeal.com 901-529-6513

When Sarah Forbess told her mom that she wanted to become a tattoo artist, her mother told her she still needed to go to college. Forbess heeded her mother’s advice, but after obtaining a degree in psychology, she decided tattooing would ofer her more career stability than her degree. With the increased number of people who have been getting inked in the last decade, Forbess had a point. She completed an apprenticeship at Underground Art in Midtown and now works at the studio full time as a tattoo artist and piercer. The studio, which has several female artists on staf, is certainly not as “underground” as it was when it opened 21 years ago in the Cooper-Young neighborhood. “If I could get away with changing the name, I probably would,” owner Angela Russell said with a laugh. In a 2007 study on “millenials,” about half of the young adults surveyed said they had gotten a tattoo, dyed their hair an untraditional color or had a body piercing in a place other than an earlobe. The Pew Research Center, which conducted the study, estimates that one in three millenials, who were deined as having been born between 1981 and 1988, have at least one tattoo. Russell said that while millenials may be leading the boom in body art, they aren’t the only ones coming in for their irst tattoos. “Over the years, it seems like the biggest diference in our customer base has been with age,” Russell said. “Twenty years ago, it used to be mostly pretty young folks who came in, but now we have a diverse age group and people from all sorts of socioeconomic backgrounds. We see a lot more upper-middle class people, and people from the suburbs.” While Russell said she thought it was “pretty great” that tattoos seem less taboo now, she and other artists in her studio said there are stigmas that still exist in business and public health sectors, as well as in cer-

Good Health Memphis

Underground Art owner Angela Russell ofers these bits of wisdom: ■ Television shows about tattoos are great, and the publicity has been fantastic, but they seem to give people the idea that you walk in to a shop, tell your story and walk out with a tattoo. That isn’t how it works. There’s a process and you have to be patient. ■ Come in with some sort of understanding of what you want. If you have no barometer, we’ll help steer you, but try to be proactive. Look through artist portfolios and put some thought into what you want to have done. ■ A good tattoo is worth waiting for and worth paying for. In Memphis, you’re likely to ind artists who charge from $100 to $150 an hour to complete larger pieces. ■ Don’t come in sunburned, and stay out of the sun, chlorinated water and salt water for at least two weeks after getting tattooed. ■ It’s rude to walk up to a stranger and ask them why they have a tattoo or what the meaning behind the tattoo is. For many people, tattoos are very personal. It would be the same as asking a stranger with a visible scar what happened to them.

tain social settings. “A few years ago, you couldn’t give blood for a year after being tattooed,” Russell said. “We wrote letters advocating on the side of people with tattoos, explaining how far we had come in terms of safety and sterility. It was such an old, antiquated rule and that’s changed now.” Lifeblood, the Memphis region’s only nonproit volunteer blood center, states on its website that donors must currently wait two months after being tattooed to donate. Workplace dress codes can also cause problems for people with visible tattoos. Russell likened the Starbucks policy of requiring employees to cover any visible tattoos with long sleeves or bandages to a discriminatory practice. “It’s just crazy, but I think all of this stuf is going to play out,” she said. “In bigger cities, you see tattooed people in all industries.” Vanessa Waites, a 35-year-old tattoo artist

who is married and has a toddler, said that while having tattoos might change some people’s perceptions of her, she doesn’t let it change how she interacts with others. “As a woman, I think there is something about being able to claim your body — to take ownership of yourself — that is a part of getting tattoos,” said Waites. “When I was younger, I always hated my arms; I felt like they were matronly, but with every new tattoo I got, the more I like them. How could I not? They are decorated with the things that I love.” Waites said she’s tattooed clients with requests ranging from a chest piece tattoo for a woman who had undergone a double mastectomy to other works covering scars or stretch marks. “I’ve met so many women who, as a result of getting tattoos, have become more comfortable in their own skin,” Waites said. “And I think that’s really awesome.”

THE SOUTHERN GARDENER

INSIDE DESIGN

Designer can help avoid mistakes

If the nickname fits, wear it proudly The other day I was ofhandedly called a name that I thought was a good thing. Now, after looking it up, I suspect I’ve been given a backhanded compliment at best. I was called a “lovable anorak,” which turns out to be British slang for anyone with an compulsive interest in a very speciic niche subject, originally referring to “train spotter” people who lurk around railway stations and bridges with binoculars, watching and making notes about trains. I know, sounds weird, but it’s fairly common. They typically wear anorak jackets, a hooded, weatherproof parka common in the wet, windy English isles. Now it refers to anyone with an obsessive hobby. And apparently I’m a plant anorak because of a fascination with stuf with artiicial-looking succulent foliage. It has been noted that my plant collections are of mostly odd stuf with weird leaves. Indoors, I grow a dozen or so diferent Sansevierias, including interesting variegations and some with wide, beaver tail leaves, others with long, arching cylindrical leaves, much like green carrots. But face it, these relatives of the common mother-in-law tongue can survive for decades in an ashtray atop a TV. I also collect lat- and curly-leaf hoyas, and Echevarias and sedums. One cascading plant I’ve kept for many years is the old “string of pearls” plant, which is not much more than a tangle of thin vines covered in pea-size globular leaves. And I recently got a low-maintenance indoor plant called “ZZ” because nobody but Dale Skaggs (director of horticulture at Dixon Galley and Gardens) is willing to pronounce its real name. Truth is, I grow those mostly because they survive my neglectful, watermiserly gardening style. I’m gone so much, anything needing regular watering would bite its own dusty soil before I get home. Out in the garden, I enjoy diferent kinds of “cast iron” plant (Aspidistra), especially the little Milky Way covered with tiny pale white spots. One of my favorite hardy ground covers is Rohdea, a dense, compact ground cover tough enough to thrive under mature holly trees. And for decades I have shared knee-high bits of my greatgrandmother’s stif, ferny “butcher broom” (Ruscus). What do these plants have in common? Thick, rubbery, green or variegated foliage. I get genuine pleasure in focusing a great variety of plants that to others kinda look alike. Even if, as was pointed out, they are usually covered in dust. But we anoraks don’t seem to notice, do we?

Plants that have artificiallooking succulent foliage are a delight for an “anorak.”

Not long after G. Frank Roberts was trying to decide a use for an old lumber shed on Cox Street, demolition workers began bringing him old wood, doors and windows and whatever else he and his son would buy. Now, the Robertses do many “surgical” demolitions themselves. “We have a network of demolition crews that will let us know,” the father says.

AGING WELL

Architectural antiques business reclaims Memphis’ past for new uses By Lesley Young Special to The Commercial Appeal

Frank C. Roberts isn’t happy when a historic building is torn down. He does, however, delight in following the life of the building’s components, and has created a robust business out of the process. “It’s a privilege I have to go to a site where a building is being torn down and experience something in its original location, then bring it back and pull all the nails out and put it away and stack it up. Then I meet with a customer and, based on what he’s asking for, help select a speciic board and build something that relects what the customer is looking for,” Frank C., 30, of Midtown, said. Frank C., along with his father G. Frank Roberts, opened the reclaimed materials business Architectural Arts close to eight years ago, mainly by accident. “In real estate, they say if a property next door comes up for sale, buy it,” the elder Roberts, 65, of Memphis, said. He had already done that once with the building located at 2215 Central in 2002, which was only a few blocks down from his primary business, Palladio Antiques and Art at 2169 Central, which he owns with his wife, Mindy Roberts. He converted that building to Market Central, a more modern and accessible version of Palladio. So when the old lumber-shed-turned-storageheap on Cox Street next door to Market Central became available, he followed the same advice. While cleaning up and deciding what to do with the new space, demolition crews began bringing the Robertses old wood, doors and windows and whatever the father and son would buy each Friday. Old warehouse doors illed the former lumber truck drive-thru, wooden beams served as new trusses to hold up a sagging roof, and hundreds of reclaimed bricks created a new loor with an old look. “Everything is old but not necessarily original to the building,” the elder Roberts said of the 100-year-old structure. “To restore the building, we used material that was consistent with what the original material was.”

G. Frank Roberts (left), wife Mindy Roberts and son Frank Roberts run the Midtown arts/antiques/design businesses Palladio, Architectural Arts, Water Works, and Crafted Classics.

The demolition crews kept coming by. People kept coming in and buying it. The Roberts family decided it was as good of a space as any to display their inventory of old Memphis as well as their recent venture into garden accessories, which they now call Water Works. Now their inventory includes more than 800 antique doors, many of which are hinged to and line the two new walls they built on the north and south sides of the building, thousands of feet of lumber, tens of thousands of reclaimed brick, and an ornate terra cotta arch they found in a wall of a Victorian brick home near South Lauderdale and Mississippi Boulevard. “I don’t think there’s anything else like that in the world,” the younger Roberts said. They do many of their demolitions themselves, which they call “surgical operations,” with the same team of ive guys. “We have a network of demolition crews that will let us know,” the father said. While the Water Works and Architectural Arts building is available from time to time for event space, a large cache of their procurements sits neatly categorized in the building next door. Their cataloged storage space is where another new business grew accidentally — Crafted Classics.“If a customer comes in looking for such and such and we don’t have it, we can build it for them,” the son said.

If you’ve ever thought about hiring an interior designer — or had the sneaking feeling you should — what’s holding you back? Maybe it’s cost. Maybe it’s the intimidation factor, or the fear that your inished space won’t look like “you.” Maybe you aren’t sure who to call or what to look for in a design pro. . Cost is the biggest issue and the trickiest, by far. I won’t pretend that professionally designed projects aren’t expensive, because often they are. Well-built furnishings, custom upholstery and draperies — these items are pricey in and of themselves, and the advice and experience of an interior designer is valuable, too. The good news is, many designers ofer an hourly rate for advice sessions, and some ofer a free initial consultation at the start of a project. Also, many designers work with clients on both ends of the budget spectrum; not every client wants or can aford highend, trade-only products, and designers understand that. A great designer helps you make the most of your budget no matter where it falls. These days, most interior designers have websites that showcase their portfolios and list their services. Many furniture retailers also have designers on staf, and often these designers ofer services beyond furniture selection. Now for the real surprise. If you’re planning a major home project of any sort, hiring an interior designer might actually save you money. Your best bet when starting a design project is to look at your space or home as a whole, plan it out according to your taste and style, and ill in the puzzle pieces one by one as time and money allow. A trained, professional designer not only knows what works in a space, but how it works and why. Designers often come up with creative solutions for problem areas, making spaces more functional and livable as well as beautiful. Also, depending on the designer’s credentials and education, design professionals have specialized knowledge about space planning, lighting and construction codes and methods that can make or break the success of a project.

Watch for signs of life before burying plants Gardeners love to look at their plants as they emerge from the ground, put on new growth or bloom in the spring. It’s like welcoming old friends back from extended vacations. This year we might also be asking our plants, “Are you alive or dead”? Most often, it’s too soon to tell. When spring begins to feel like less of a promise and more of a certainty, we’ll be able to see signs of life like new growth. But even if a plant, especially a woody shrub, looks dead, I’ve decided not to pull it up by the roots for a few months after reading what garden guru Michael Dirr wrote about nandinas. The top of one of my common nandinas has turned

from green to tan, making me grateful instead of frustrated for the pesky suckers it has sent out, which are small and green. “I witnessed 3 foot regrowth on shrubs that were killed to the ground after minus 24 degrees in 1994,” he writes in his highly respected tome, “Manual of Woody Landscape Plants.” Some of our plants that died or almost died after our tough winter are only marginally hardy here.

Several mild winters fooled us into thinking they were perfectly adapted. Chris Cosby, senior manager of gardens at the Memphis Botanic Garden, spotlights several plants he is watching for survival: Gardenias, including an old bush that grew to 10-by10-feet in his yard, are looking especially bad, he said. Some Soft Caress mahonias, Indian hawthorns, yaupon hollies, Encore azaleas and loropetalums are ify at best. Many area gardeners lost their rosemary plants, even varieties touted to be winter hardy such as Hill Hardy, Arp and Salem. “My big Hill Hardy that was about 7 feet tall and 8 feet wide is 90 percent dead,” Cosby said. “Other

varieties are “toast.’” Pat Skaggs is scratching her head over the loss of the rosemary plants in her Collierville backyard, which is protected by a wood fence, while those in open areas of her front yard seem to have made it with little damage. Because she has added several diferent varieties through the years, she can’t say for certain which ones seem the hardiest. “Two of my agapanthus plants look dead and one is alive,” said Skaggs, a past president of the Memphis Herb Society. John Vergos, who has several mature windmill palms near his Hein Park house, is optimistic the trees made it through the winter. “They got beat

up quite a bit — one more than the others,” he said. “I put two bags of leaves at the base of each palm and don’t know if it made a difference or not.” Every gardener will have diferent hit lists depending on where the plants were installed. My Arp rosemary, which is protected from the north and westerly winds, is very much alive. A less protected Japanese fatsia seems down for the count, while a nearby pittosporum looks good. Both are Zone 8 plants growing in a cooler Zone 7 climate. “The good thing is our plant lists are getting vetted,” Cosby said. “We now know for certain which plants can make it here.”

The Junior Auxiliary of Collierville has 29 active members, 10 provisional members and 21 associate

and life members who, together, donate more than 1,200 hours every year to the chapter’s various projects. The chapter raises funds through its Ladies Luncheon, Fashion Show and Silent Auction held each year in February. “It brings awareness to our group and gives us a platform to thank the citizens of Collierville for supporting us in the good work we do year around,” said Camille Brantley, the

president of the Junior Auxiliary of Collierville. “The families and children we serve are so deserving and thankful for this assistance, and none of that would be possible without the support of the entire community.” For more information on the Junior Auxiliary of Collierville, visit jacollierville.org.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;My Pet Chicken Handbookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; authors have answers in a clutch People love their chickens, and there are so many new breeds â&#x20AC;&#x201D; some that lay green eggs, chocolate brown eggs, olive eggs. However many (chickens) people think they want, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to want to add fresh birds to their lock.

LOS ANGELES â&#x20AC;&#x201D; In their new book, â&#x20AC;&#x153;My Pet Chicken Handbook: Sensible Advice and Savvy Answers for Raising Backyard Chickens,â&#x20AC;? chicken experts Lissa Lucas and Traci Torres of the online resource My Pet Chicken have assembled an informative insiderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s guide to raising chickens at home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My Pet Chicken Handbookâ&#x20AC;? teaches just about everything you need to know to manage your own lock at home. We recently asked Lucas and Torres about what people most want to know about chickens.

If chickens are inside for prolonged periods of time they are going to go crazy and peck at one another. A covered run area with a roof will keep rain and snow out. â&#x20AC;Ś In terms of being able to go out to dinner or on vacation, you can install an automatic coop door that opens in the morning and at night. Chickens will let themselves back in. If you take the time to think it through and plan upfront, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be much better of.

are popular Q Chickens right now. Why? Lucas: People A Lissa want to have a hand

in producing their own food. They want to know where itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coming from. They want to decide if their birds are vaccinated or not, what they want to feed them or if they want to give them access to pasture. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a desire to reduce the reliance on factory hens. It costs more to have hens, but people are willing to pay to have really delicious eggs that they feel good about. Traci Torres: We polled our customers, and the No. 1 reason people say they have chickens is because chickens are awesome pets.

is the most freQ What quently asked question on your website? Lucas: Whether you A need roosters around

to lay eggs. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a neophyte question. And the answer is no. Torres: The No. 1 question is â&#x20AC;&#x153;How long do hens lay eggs?â&#x20AC;? The second most popular question is â&#x20AC;&#x153;How long do they live?â&#x20AC;? (Backyard chickens commonly live eight to 10 years, though sometimes longer, and lay fewer eggs as they get older.) So people seem to want to know how many years they are going to have this animal that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lay eggs. on that, Q Touching what do you do with older birds once they have stopped laying eggs?

Oliver helps ECS post shut out victory

Collierville softball coach Mike Bradley won his 800th career game Monday as the Dragons run-ruled District 15-AAA opponent Southwind, 17-0. Kelsey Gross hit her third home run of the year and pitched three hitless innings to lead the Dragons, who are 16-2-1 and ranked irst in The Commercial Appeal’s Super Six.

In a match illed with stellar goalkeeping, Jack Oliver made the biggest plays of all. Oliver, a junior, came of his line to deny a wideopen Colin Kraus with about seven minutes to go in the game — and repeated the trick moments later — to preserve Evangelical Christian School’s 1-0 victory over St. George’s. “It was a big time in the game,” said Oliver. “You just have to stay focused.” Said Chase Clack, who scored on a nice chip over St. George’s Kellen Young in the irst half to give the Eagles (1-1) their goal, “Jack Oliver been playing extremely well. He’s worked hard. Any win is huge but to beat our rivals, is just like the cherry on top.” Young made a couple of ine saves of his own late in the irst half to help the Gryphons (2-1-1) stay within one goal, including one to deny Clack, an East Tennessee State signee who was last year’s Best of the Preps player of the year. “It’s frustrating,” said St. George’s coach Tony Whicker. “They possessed the ball better but I think we created better chances. Their keeper came up big. He brought it at the end.” The goalkeeping certainly pleased Eagles coach Jordan Thompson, as well as the overall efort in a matchup you’d expect from two big rivals. “It was physical but it never got dirty,” he said. “We trusted in our training and trusted in each other. I’m proud ... but we have a long way to go.”

Turkey restoration eforts in Tennessee were aided greatly by rocket nets like this one. Conservation oicials began using them during the 1970s to trap several birds at one time for relocation into areas where turkey numbers were low.

Wild turkey has made dramatic recovery in Tennessee

RESTORING THE

STRUT

By Bryan Brasher brasher@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2343

ince the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency was founded in 1949, the organization has focused its conservation eforts mainly on restoring and strengthening the populations of several native animal species. But TWRA will soon enact a new strategic plan, shifting its focus from protecting the animals to managing their habitat. They’re making the change because most of the animal species that were once in trouble have made remarkable recoveries — and there is no better example of that than the eastern wild turkey. In 1951, turkey hunting was only allowed in two counties, and hunters managed a meager harvest of just 14 birds. But today, hunting is allowed in all 95 counties statewide, and hunters have killed at least 30,000 birds the past 11 seasons. “Tennessee has a lot of excellent turkey habitat,” said Gray Anderson, assistant chief of TWRA’s wildlife division. “We have plenty of large farms and great wooded areas where they can roost and feed on acorns. Restoring turkey populations was really just a matter of moving more birds into places where they would thrive.”

THE RISE AND FALL OF THE TENNESSEE TURKEY During the middle of the 19th century, eastern wild turkeys were abundant. But several factors, including overhunting for food purposes, led to a drastic decline. Once the problem was recognized, conservation oicials began trying to restore the turkey population by releasing pen-raised turkeys. But as is often the case with animals raised in captivity, the birds had a low survival rate in the wild. Oicials shifted their eforts to trapping and relocating wild birds, but the cumbersome walk-

Turkeys were once so scarce in Tennessee that hunting was only allowed in two of the state’s 95 counties. But today, hunting is allowed in all counties, and hunters have killed at least 30,000 birds for 11 straight years.

in traps they used were far from efective. “They were only able to trap 19 birds during the entire decade of the 1950s with those walk-in traps,” Anderson said. “Things got a little bit better when they switched to cannon-net traps in the 1960s, but it was still a really slow process.” Restoration eforts really took of during the 1970s with the introduction of rocket-net traps that allowed conservation oicials to trap several birds at one time from large distances. “That should give you an idea of the diference between the various kinds of live traps,” Anderson said. “They caught 19 in a decade with the walk-in traps, and now, if we want to, we can catch 19 a day.” Once the relocation eforts shifted into high gear, turkey populations exploded.

Turkeys were present in 58 counties by 1979, then 72 counties by 1983 and in all 95 counties by 1990. Populations grew to such heights that Tennessee was eventually able to trap and send turkeys to several other places, including Texas, Maryland and Canada to help restore their numbers.

A REMARKABLE RECOVERY With the recovery of the wild turkey complete, Tennessee conservation oicials now only trap and relocate live birds in nuisance situations. State residents are likely to hear turkeys gobble around their homes during spring in all regions of the state. “There was deinitely a time when turkeys were hard to ind in Fayette County,” said Ty Inmon, a TWRA conservation oficer and avid west Tennessee

turkey hunter. “It wasn’t that long ago that you’d never hear a gobble in certain areas here. But now there are a lot of people around the country who would like to have as many wild turkeys as we do.” New harvest records have been set every year for the past two decades, and an annual harvest in excess of 30,000 has become the norm. Anderson doesn’t expect that to change when the new strategic plan is implemented. “Our harvest management will remain the same as we switch to the new strategic plan,” Anderson said. “We’re just going to start making some habitat management changes on our wildlife management areas that we believe will beneit all wildlife, including wild turkeys — and we hope private landowners will do the same.”

OUTDOORS NOTES

Mississippi state-record rainbow trout landed in private pond By Bryan Brasher brasher@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2343

Rainbow trout aren’t a common catch for anglers in Mississippi. But on March 22, Tommy Ware of Ocean Springs, Miss., caught one that will go down in history. While f ly fishing at a private pond in Scooba, Miss., Wa re la nded a 3 -pound, 10-ounce rainbow trout that now stands as the state record. The previous record of 2 pounds, 10 ounces was caught

in 2001 from Lake Whittington. According to the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks, Ware caught his record trout on a black Wooly Bugger ished on 5-pound test ishing line. MDWFP isheries biologists Stephen Brown and Lauren Thayer weighed the ish on certiied scales and conirmed it as a state record. Rainbow trout are one of the few nonnative sport ish species that can be legally stocked into private ponds in Mississippi. They are usually stocked dur-

ing the early winter months and then die as the water temperatures rise into the low 70s.

The lowdown on the

HIGHLANDS Hiking footpaths is the best way to take in stunning Scottish countryside By Cara Anna Associated Press

Foreboding clouds frame the Isle of Skye, with the Black Cuillin hills in the background. The dramatic peaks of the craggy hills make them appear more imposing than their actual height; the tallest one is 3,255 feet.

ARBERT, Scotland — I don’t have much to tell you about Scotland, really. It’s true they have whiskey and kilts, and some people speak with an accent so thick that you wonder whether you’re hearing English or Gaelic. All of that is fun. But I’m just here to tell you about the walks I took.

If you’ve heard anything about the weather in Scotland, you’ve heard the word “wet.” Or perhaps “boggy.” Or “ever-changing.” These conditions make even more impressive the large collection of well-known footpaths that are the best way to explore the stunning countryside. The most famous one is the West Highland Way, a 95-mile trail from the outskirts of Glasgow into the remote and moody Highlands. It ends shortly past the foot of the highest mountain in the U.K., Ben Nevis, which can be walked up and down as a day hike, if you’re it. Near the summit, I saw small children and dogs. The Way was my appetizer for more walks to come. I did its northern half, skipping the lowland part of the hike and heading straight into the landscape so heart-skippingly shown in the James Bond movie “Skyfall.” It’s easy; there are hotels or hostels at every stage, and even baggage transport service. The single-most useful tool for planning walks in Scotland is the popular website WalkHighlands. com. The site breaks down dozens of trails, with frank talk about muddy or risky conditions. It also links to that other essential tool, Ordnance Survey topographical maps. And then there are the photos. Walk-Highlands does what other trail guides don’t: It shows what the scenery looks like at several diferent stages of each walk. Before leaving for Scotland, I spent hours clicking through trails and shopping for landscapes. That’s how I came across the path to a place called Rhenigidale. It looked like a modest walk, just about 5 miles long, but the details that emerged made it more and

more intriguing. It seemed the tiny seaside village in the string of islands called the Outer Hebrides had a hostel, one that didn’t take advance bookings but rarely would turn anyone away, especially if they arrive on foot. It seemed so remote, somehow so unlikely, that I emailed to make sure. The reply was prompt. “The hostel door is never closed,” replied Peter Clarke, the chairman of the Gatlif Hebridean Hostels Trust. “You may put your overnight fees in cash, or by cheque, in the honesty box. If it is not in the hostel, the warden usually visits in the morning and early evening.” To this triple-locked Manhattan resident, it had the whif of a fairy tale. The next sign that I might be on to something came in an article by British author Robert Macfarlane, who has written movingly about nature

and exploring it on foot. He called the winding old postman’s path to Rhenigidale, its only land route to the outside world until a road was completed in 1989, “one of the most beautiful paths I know.” There’s something satisfying in taking a vacation and actually getting away from it all. As my ferry left Skye for the Outer Hebrides, it was decided: No Internet. No phone, even if it had signal. After the ferry docked in the village of Tarbert, I bought simple provisions at a small grocery — oats, tea, lentils — because Rhenigidale has no shops, just a handful of homes. And the next day, Sunday, everything on the stoutly Protestant island would be closed, except the churches. The path soon split from the paved road out of Tarbert and climbed into the low, stony hills. It eventually topped a rise, and there was the

sea, which the track began to follow. There were ruined stone houses, the snuling of porpoises, rabbits skittering out of sight. It’s a lovely place to watch for the aurora borealis and the stars. In my two days at the hostel, no one appeared but the friendly warden, Kate Langley, who lives with her husband and small children across the road. She knelt in the cozy sitting room of faded maps and old cushioned chairs and lit the coal stove. On a little radio, BBC Scotland played bagpipe music and folk songs. The modest Gatlif Hebridean Hostels Trust also runs two other rustic hostels in stellar locations for those who wander through the islands, many of them by bike in the bracing winds. The hostels make excellent bases for walks on sprawling white-sand beaches and climbs of the nearby hills. In the summer tourist season, the islands bloom with galleries, B&Bs and local seafood. While the Gatlif hostels don’t have the perks of more traditional getaways, notably laundry or the drying rooms that many places have for wet gear, each has the essentials — full kitchens, heat, electricity, hot water. That’s in addition to simplicity, a sense of place and stunning, changing skies. “Three weeks ... in Scotland?” more than one person had asked, with a touch of doubt. Absolutely.

Business SMALL BUSINESS Q-AND-A

GERMANTOWN

Tire merchants use Web to set themselves apart

City considers revisions to sign size limit

By Lesley Young Special to The Commercial Appeal

Ah, the Internet. Tires are tires. But it’s the Internet that can set you apart in the automotive service business. Just ask Sam Kelly. His father, Sid Kelly, 63, of Lakeland opened Performance Tire and Service as a four-bay tire store on Bartlett Road in 1986. They have since opened 3rd Generation Tire and Service in Southaven. Annual sales now reach $3 million. Sam, Sid and son-in-law Nick Pearson, 36, of Germantown are the owners. Sam, 37, of East Memphis, recently pondered the question: How do you compete in the age of the Internet? sets you apart Q What from other businesses?

Our attention to detail. Anybody can sell tires, but I feel like we build relationships here.

PERFORMANCE TIRE AND SERVICE What it is: Tire and automotive service shops Locations: 1744 Bartlett Road in Memphis, 9070 U.S. 51 in Southaven Owners: Sid Kelly, son Sam Kelly and son-in-law Nick Pearson Employees: 21 Annual sales: $3 million

signed for a more conservative approach. Morgan said the change would bring the city even with Collierville’s sign codes. Germantown’s Design and Review Commission recommended approving the change after Trademark Properties, the managers of Saddle Creek, requested the change as part of their new development. “They’re trying to attract more national tenants and make their center more competitive in the Memphis, Collierville, West Tennessee area,” he said. Tony Chron, executive vice president and managing director of development and leasing for Trademark Properties, said Saddle Creek’s expansion and renovations is attracting new retailers to the area, and those businesses will now be able to avoid applying for sign variances. Chron said his company develops sign plans for most major development projects, and Germantown was willing to consider adapting its sign codes to match the plan for wall signs. Because the proposed changes only afect wall signs and not ground or monument signs, Chron said the increased size makes sense for the businesses and the community. A public hearing and third reading of the legislation is scheduled April 14.

Germantown is considering a revision of its sign code after a request from the managers and developers of Saddle Creek Shopping Center. The proposed legislation would allow retailers to double the size of their exterior wall signs. Businesses in the commercial and oice districts could have one square foot of signage — up from half a square foot — for every 50 feet of wall length. The maximum sign would be 100 square feet, up from the current limit of 50 square feet. According to city documents, most buildings in Germantown would allow for signs up to 75 square feet. Retailers with buildings more than 10,000 square feet could apply for a sign up to 125 square feet. By comparison, the standard Target logo and sign on the exterior of its box stores is 130 square feet. Chief planner Wade Morgan said the city made exceptions to the code for big box retailers like Target, which has a store in Germantown. “Over the years, there have always been requests from shopping center businesses, local owners to have bigger signs to make their spaces more visible,” Morgan said. The original code, he said, was written in the 1980s and was de-

By Jon W. Sparks Special to The Commercial Appeal

Elizabeth Streb does not hold back. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Action and movement and especially the extreme stuf my dancers are doing on stage has the capacity to make you cry, break your heart and scare you out of your wits.â&#x20AC;? So says the founder of Streb, which you might label a dance company, but that would be a bit incomplete. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve veered from the concepts of dance,â&#x20AC;? she says. Streb is more of an extreme action company that, at any given moment, might be like slam dancing, extreme sports, circus arts, human light or Hollywood stunt work. Whatever it is, you are unlikely to sleep through it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My job is to keep the audienceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attention,â&#x20AC;? Streb says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;to have them

Concerts will run Thursdays through Sundays in the summer. Among the other highlights will be appearances by Memphis roots songstress Amy LaVere, Nashville soul outit the Dynamites featuring Charles Walker, Minneapolis artrockers Cloud Cult, Mississippi bluesman Cedric Burnside, and a special concert by singer-songwriter Rosanne Cash on June 14.

IMAGES COURTESY OF STREB

Streb, an â&#x20AC;&#x153;extreme action company,â&#x20AC;? brought its unusual movement performance to the Germantown Performing Arts Center for two engagements last weekend.

not look away from the stage, to have that aha! moment, but for diferent reasons.â&#x20AC;? Streb, at 64, is still about pushing the envelope. She started dancing at about 18 and had her irst show in 1981 when she was 31. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was doing pretty abstract dance then but it was still, in my mind, a utilitarian form,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rather than melody and narrative, I was trying to demonstrate physical causality and what space was. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d tip the loor into a 45-degree hill so I could see what would happen to the body and

our occupation of space. What would gravity do to our bodies having to run up and down the hill?â&#x20AC;? What happened was the continuing evolution of performance. The props and machines the company uses are sophisticated and there are visual projections from cameras at diferent angles to give an almost 3-D view. With contraptions and bodies and props and angles going every which way, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s apparent that Streb not only knows the human body, but is wellversed in physics as well

BATTLE OF THE BIRDS

Shows by Rosanne Cash, the Old 97â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and a special symphonic performance of Big Starâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Third album are among events set for the Levitt Shell free summer concert series. A sneak preview of the lineup was presented last Thursday night at a private event at the Gibson Lounge. Orion Federal Credit Union was also announced as the irst title sponsor for the 50-concert program, and a sevenweek ilm series, at Overton Park. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These shows are free to the public but not free to put on. And so we rely heavily on sponsors and donors to make them possible,â&#x20AC;? said Levitt Shell executive director Anne Pitts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re so excited to have Orion come on board, as it allows us to continue to maintain and raise the level of per-
