Members of the Bobby Lanier Farm Park garden association work to prepare beds for planting in the park’s community garden. Now in its third year, the garden is among the a host of projects at the park including a major renovation of the horse stables.

The goal is to have all the farm’s capital improvements completed in the next ive years, Beasley said.

The parks department is to present its full plan for the farm park to the city’s inancial advisory committee on Tuesday.

The most recent additions were the community garden and the renovation of the stables. Located just north of Germantown Elementary School, the site is within walking distance to the Germantown Charity Horse Show grounds. Representatives from the horse show recruited local businesses to help renovate the stables so they will be able to house horses there for the show in June. They completed the work, valued at more than $250,000, in less than six months.

Five years later, the parks department and the farm park committees are well on their way to turning the space into a usable working farm for educational programming and event rentals.

Parks and recreation director Pam Beasley said the site is still fairly “primitive,” but has already become a central point in the community.

“We really feel like it’s going to be a destination park, and one that many people (will look at) for event venues, whether it be a special ceremony or a party or a wedding,” Beasley said. “The farm ofers that

In the News GERMANTOWN MUNICIPAL SCHOOLS

Houston High TV studio may be expanded

By Jennifer Pignolet pignolet@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2372

Germantown Municipal Schools officials are looking to create a television studio at Houston High School to mirror the success of Germantown High School’s productions, which are now part of the Shelby County Schools district.

In the tentative budget for its irst school year, the municipal district budgeted $224,769 for an instructional television program. That cost includes salaries and beneits for two staf mem-

bers, an engineer and a program director.

The high school currently has a basic program with limited equipment, but board members and administrators said this week they want to expand the program to be on the same level as the multimillion-dollar studio at Germantown High.

Board President Lisa Parker said it would take a while, but the goal is feasible. “For us to compete on that level for the irst couple years, it’s not realistic for us,” she said. “But we’ll certainly be broadcasting and doing the best we can.”

Board members and administrators debated during a budget work session Wednesday whether it was a good idea to start the program during the district’s irst year.

Board member Mark Dely said he felt it would be best to wait until next year, when the district could work with the city to secure more funding.

“There’s no doubt that if we do this, we will be rushing into this,” Dely said.

Board member Natalie Williams said she didn’t think the program was too much to take on for the irst year, because the

expectation wouldn’t be for 20 full-time shows, but rather one or two to start.

Supt. Jason Manuel said this year is a good opportunity to start the program because this is the city’s last year of its contract with Germantown High to run its channel.

Parker said the Germantown High program could switch to channel 19 while Houston High took over channel 17. They could still both cover all of the city’s government meetings.

Parker said the hope was to obtain control of the studio through the buildings agreement

with Shelby County, but when the three namesake schools were left out of the agreement, it left the municipal district without a studio.

The Germantown High studio currently receives Germantown city’s public, educational, and government access TV channel funding. Parker said the municipal district will seek that funding, which can be worth up to half a million dollars. She said Shelby County was warned that funding loss was possible during building negotiations, but the district decided to hang onto the high school anyway.

FARM “They knew that we were trying to put funding in place and looking for private funders,” Beasley said. “They wanted to be the irst group to step up.

They wanted to do that in a very grand way.”

The next large project, scheduled for next fiscal year, is to renovate a hay barn on the property.

Beasley said she somewhat regrets referring to it as a hay barn project, because the misnomer has brought criticism of the $951,000 price tag.

She said the structure will be turned into an educational and rentable pavilion that will become a funding source for the park.

“It’s really going to be constructed as a three-sided, open-air pavilion that will support farm park activities including the covered space for the farmers market, a space for educational programs, and a space for diferent types of workshops,” Beasley said.

Perhaps the most important addition, she said, is restroom facilities. Guests at the park currently have to leave the grounds to use the restrooms at the adjacent soccer complex.

The city submitted an application for a $208,000 state grant that would go toward the renovation.

The city would match those dollars, and the rest of the $951,000 would go toward equipping the farm park and the renovated hay barn with utilities like a sewer system.

An outdoor kitchen and renovation of a house on the property are future improvement goals.

Farm park advisory committee chairwoman Mary Anne Gibson said the park is already thriving in its community gardens, as about 75 volunteers donate their time each week to maintaining the garden. Educational programming includes a curriculum developed to match what children are learning at diferent grade levels in school. The park will host farmers markets every Thursday starting in June.

As much as the farm park is a community space, Gibson said the city set up the park as a special revenue source.

Shelby Farms Park festival celebrates Earth Day

By Timberly Moore t.moore@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2445

Chloe Russell got out of bed last Saturday morning with the environment on her mind as she prepared to volunteer at the Down to Earth festival at Shelby Farms Park.

“I (volunteer) every year,” said Russell, 18. “It’s a very cool thing. Half of Memphis is out here, it seems, and it’s a great way to celebrate Earth Day.” Down to Earth, presented by FedEx, is one of the biggest fundraisers for Shelby Farms Park Conservancy, according to park communications coordinator Rebecca Dailey. It costs $2 million a year to sustain the park and the Shelby Farms Greenline, she said.

“This is about really recognizing that Memphis has the ability to become a leader in sustainability,” she said. “This park is a place where all those great green minds can come together.”

The Earth Day events, which will continue Sunday with the Down to Earth 5K, included guided hikes, a park-members-only area, an eco egg hunt, music and food.

There were also games and activities for kids,

such as a ishing rodeo and archery, which Russell helped with before sitting on the uncovered grass in the stage area with her friend Sonnia Bustamante.

“I love being outside,” said Bustamante, 18. “I decided to just come out and listen to the music after she got done (volunteering).”

Russell added, “We feel at one with nature because everyone is here for the same reason.”

Debbie Poole of Collierville was driving west on Walnut Grove when she saw the droves of people gathered in the park and decided to pull over.

“I had no idea any of this was going on,” she said.

Once she realized what was happening, she got excited.

“I enjoyed the (Memphis Light, Gas and Water Division) tent,” she said, as she prepared to circle back to the tent to get a free light bulb.

“They’re teaching people how to save money on their bills.”

Poole said celebrating Earth Day is a great way to help people learn about how they can help the environment.

Dailey said education is a major factor in why the conservancy geared so many activities toward children.

Earlier this month, The Commercial Appeal held a drawing for readers of The Weekly to win four courtside seats to see the Memphis Grizzles take on the Dallas Mavericks at FedExForum on April 16.

Lee Ann Williams of Olive Branch was selected as the lucky winner and attended the game with her two sons, Aaron and Jeremy Karch, and her grandson, Matthew Davis.

Williams said she was excited when she learned she had won the tickets.

“I said to my son, ‘I think I just won four tickets to the Grizzlies’ and my son said ‘I’m going!’

My other son had to take of work,” Williams said.

“It was awesome.”

This was the irst Grizzlies game Williams has attended.

Foundation gift will help WWII veterans revisit Normandy

By Daniel Hight Special to The Weekly

Forever Young received a generous gift from the Reagan Legacy Foundation that will fund the return of five American D-Day veterans to Normandy, France for the 70th anniversary of the historic invasion.

On June 6, 1944, 160,000 Allied troops landed along a 50-mile stretch of the heavily fortified French coastline to fight Nazi Germany. More than 5,000 ships and 13,000 aircraft supported the D-Day invasion, and by day’s end, the Allies gained a foothold in Normandy. The D-Day cost was high as more than

9,000 Allied soldiers were killed or wounded, but more than 100,000 soldiers began the march across Europe to defeat Hitler.

The 70th anniversary of D-Day and the Battle of Normandy will be commemorated by many Allied Heads of State and thousands of visitors from all over the world from June through the end of August. Forever Young will be returning 14 Normandy veterans for this special occasion.

“This gift means everything to our elderly warriors, for they would not have the opportunity to return to the beaches of Normandy without people

like Michael Reagan and members of The Reagan Legacy Foundation who care enough to give financial support,” said Forever Young founder and president Diane Hight.

Hight met Reagan in Normandy on a World War II Trip of Honor in May 2013. It was there that the two forged an alliance to help fund this year’s historic trip for the 70th anniversary.

“I am very honored to support these distinguished veterans who truly changed the course of history,” said Reagan. “The sacrifices they made so that others could live free should never be forgotten.”

Michael Reagan with the Reagan Legacy Foundation donated $25,000 to Forever Young’s Diane Hight.

The Reagan Legacy Foundation is a nonprofit, charitable organization founded by Michael Reagan, eldest son of President Ronald Reagan.

The organization seeks to advance the causes President Reagan held

dear and to memorialize the accomplishments of his presidency.

As part of the 70th anniversary commemoration, the Reagan Legacy Foundation will also open a permanent exhibit at the Airborne Museum located

in the heart of Sainte Mère Eglise, Normandy. The museum is dedicated to the American Paratroopers of the 82nd and 101st Airborne who, as members of the Allied forces, swept in and began the liberation on the streets of this small but extremely important town. The exhibit will feature a 15-minute educational film highlighting Ronald Reagan’s personal military service in World War II, his 1984 speech at Normandy, and his passionate fight for freedom and democracy throughout the world. Forever Young’s veterans will participate in the opening of the exhibit.

Antonio Scott began receiving the mysterious emails while at Houston High one day.

They were coming from the 2014 Washington Journalism and Media Conference at George Mason University, informing him that he had been accepted as a National Youth Correspondent, and inviting him to attend the weeklong workshop this summer.

As Scott received more and more letters, and began researching the conference, he discovered the person who nominated him was his former freshman honors English I teacher, Julia Kipp, from Jackson (Tenn.) North Side High School.

“She was one of those teachers that we automatically clicked,” Scott said. “I enjoyed being in her class. To this day, she’s probably one of my favorite teachers of all time. She really instilled in me how important English was.”

That love for English also fueled Scott’s love for broadcast

journalism. Now the 16-yearold sophomore will be among a select group of students from across the country chosen based on their academic accomplishments and a demonstrated interest and excellence in journalism and media studies.

“I’ve always been a stickler for the news,” Scott said. “I love (former ABC broadcast anchor) Charlie Gibson. I love watching (NBC’s) Brian Williams every night. I knew whatever I chose to do in life, I wanted to be sitting in front of the camera bringing the news, whether it’s Memphis, the state of Tennessee, or even the world. That’s what I wanted to do.”

The conference is July 13-18 on the campus of George Mason, just outside Washington, D.C. While there, the students will explore the diferent careers in journalism and the media, and also attend meetings and network with experts, educators and leaders in those ields.

Scott said he hopes to meet NBC’s Hoda Kotb and CNN’s Candy Crowley. His particular ield of interest is politics. He

was recently elected as Houston’s junior class president for next year. Scott also is president of the speech and debate society.

“I also love investigative journalism, bringing news to the people and bringing things to people that they don’t hear on a regular basis, things that they want to know,” he said. “I want to ask hard questions and go behind closed doors and really bring the true story out.”

Scott initially learned the importance of English at home.

His mother, Acacia Ford, was an English teacher for 15 years before they moved to Memphis in August when she took the position of optional schools coordinator at Craigmont High School.

And thanks to Kipp, those early seeds are starting to sprout.

“I’m really looking forward to being in the District of Columbia, the city that hopefully I’ll be able to live and work in one day,” he said. “I’m looking forward to meeting students from all across America who are interested in what I’m interested in and want to go into the ield of journalism and media.”

What is your favorite subject: Science and computer What is your most challenging subject: English and math What are some of your biggest accomplishments:

Learning to play the piano.

What are some of your hobbies: Playing sports and

piano Goals for the future: Get a scholarship the University of Alabama.

People you most admire:

Special to The Weekly

Children at Incarnation Preschool in Collierville enjoyed a day on the farm right in their own backyard on April 8-9.

The Menagerie Farm traveling petting zoo entertained the preschoolers with an educational lesson on the farm animals. The morning began with a train ride around the parking lot. The children were excited to touch and hand feed all of the animals, included goats, a baby bull, a llama and sheep.

The preschool teachers also were challenged to a “goat milking” race to see who could obtain the most milk from Buttercup. Everyone then saddled up for pony rides on Hazel and LaDina. The event was wrapped up with a surprise visit by the Easter Bunny.

Incarnation Preschool is an academic-based preschool licensed under the Department of Education for children ages 1—5. For more information or to schedule a tour, contact Connie Harlow 901-861-5414 or visit incarnationpreschoolmdo.com.

Students from the Class of 2014 gathered in front of the state capitol after participating in their inal conference as members of the St. George’s Youth in Government team. These seniors have served in this program for most of their high school years.

The Tennessee Youth in Government Program is an annual conference designed to offer high school and middle school students a hands-on experience with state government. Participants take on the role of senators or representatives, justices and lawyers, department commissioners and lobbyists.

Of the more than 700 students from across the state, 27 St. George’s representatives made an impressive mark on the conference, receiving special recognition for their contributions at the awards ceremony.

The highest honor to be earned at this annual conference, an invitation to attend the Conference on National Afairs this summer, was awarded to seniors Andrew Grissom and Caitlin Johnson (alternate).

The Outstanding Statesperson awards were presented to Andrew, Kayce Hyde and Johnson.

A&E GERMANTOWN COMMUNITY THEATRE

In brief

New director presented at annual ‘Bash’

By Mark Jordan Special to The Commercial Appeal

Dr. Michael Miles will take over as executive director of Germantown Community Theatre later this month.

Miles, a native and resident of Jonesboro, Ark., was presented to supporters of the 42-year-old nonproit theater at its annual Spring Forward Bash fundraiser on Saturday.

Theater board chairman Hal Beckham said in a prepared statement: “We are extremely pleased to have found an individual that is a Mid-South native, with personal experience in and a passion

for theater, and experience developing and growing a nonprof it orga nization. I’m Michael c o n f id e n t Miles that GCT will beneit from his experience and skill set.”

Miles, 34, currently works at Learning Avenues, a nonproit organization he co-founded that helps facilitate international adoptions by building English-learning academies in overseas orphanages and providing online foreign language

learning for adopting families in the U.S. He and his wife, Megan, have four adopted children.

Most of Miles’ professional career has been in the ield of education.

Until last December he was an instructor in biostatistics at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center in Memphis.

He was previously director of student afairs at the school. He also served as executive director of the Memphis-based Margolin Hebrew Academy from 2012 to 2013.

But Miles has also long nurtured a passion for theater, especially in his college years. He earned

his bachelor’s degree in theater arts from Arkansas State University before going on to earn a master’s from New York’s Mercy College and a doctorate in leadership from ASU. Between semesters, he spent a summer performing Shakespeare with the Genesis Repertory Ensemble and also directed and starred in several of of-Broadway productions.

With his new post, Miles looks forward to marrying the two interests.

Miles takes over for Brent Davis, who stepped down as executive director in January after more than four years leading the organization.

ROOM IN THE INN-MEMPHIS

Churches team to help homeless

By Jennifer Brezina Special to The Weekly

A charity to help the homeless community will come to Germantown this fall, thanks to volunteers with Germantown United Methodist Church and the newly established Room in the InnMemphis.

Beginning Nov. 7, Germantown United Methodist Church will become a host congregation for Room in the Inn, opening its doors to give the homeless a winter shelter, warm meal, hot shower and fellowship during some of the coldest nights of the year. The charity originally began in Nashville nearly 30 years ago but has since expanded across the country.

Room in the Inn-Memphis expanded its eforts this past summer and enlisted hundreds of volunteers for the 2013-2014 season from churches throughout Shelby

County, including Colonial Cumberland Presbyterian Church, Peace Lutheran, Water Christian Church, Trinity United Methodist Church, Freedom’s Chapel Christian Church, Emmanuel United Methodist Church and Germantown United Methodist Church.

Room in the Inn volunteer coordinator and board member Alise Davis says that from November 2013 through March 2014, the organization provided more than 1,000 beds to homeless people. Participants are screened before coming, and there are strict rules and procedures that must be followed, including trained chaperones who stay overnight.

“Some of the people we help say it feels like coming home when they participate in Room in the Inn,” Davis said. “They have a sense of peace here — they feel safe and can relax knowing there are others who are invested in

St. George’s alumnus shows of EcoCar2 project

By Sarah Cowan Special to The Weekly

St. George’s Independent School hosted a 2012 graduate, Stephen Hayden, at the school’s Collierville campus for a special assembly focused on the EcoCar2 intercollegiate competition in which college engineering students redesign and re-engineer a 2013 Chevy Malibu.

Speaking conidently to more than 500 students, Hayden and his team described the process and the learning experiences of the competition.

Hayden is a member of the EcoCar2 team from Mis-

sissippi State University, a team that has successfully designed their vehicle as a plug-in hybrid electric with touch-screen controls and is the only team in the competition to increase usable trunk space.

Hayden was joined by two of his MSU teammates, Yance Faulkner and Kaylie Mitchell.

The competition, which lasts three years, aims to give students access to a real-world development processes. Teams began with no vehicle, making computer models to select vehicle archetypes.

In year two, General Motors delivered a Chevy Malibu to participating

universities. In the third year, teams are working to optimize their vehicles.

Approximately 1,000 universities apply to the competition, but only a handful — 15 universities in the case of the EcoCar 2 competition — are selected.

Approximately 100 students volunteer for the EcoCar2 team, but there are about 30 students who are consistently involved.

Some receive class credit, while some cite the handson experience as important job training and even more valuable than class credit. The team is divided into six sub-teams, with foci ranging from electrical components to

communications.

Asked how his St. George’s experience may have prepared him, Hayden indicated that speaking on behalf of the team to large groups was not a problem because of the conidence he gained from public speaking experiences while in high school. “And, I was very prepared in writing,” said Hayden. “When you have to write a paper in every subject in high school — whether it’s math or science or English — you become very proficient in technical writing, and that’s been very beneicial in college.”

“The real-world experi-

ence that Mississippi State is providing their students through this initiative resonates loudly with the way that St. George’s strives to educate our students. Borrowing the process of design thinking from the engineering realm is becoming a new paradigm for successfully preparing our students for the 21st century, and we are proud that one of our graduates participated in this endeavor and shared his experience with our current students,” said school president Bill Taylor.

Sarah Cowan is the director of communications for St. George’s.

Tuckers help park to 100,000 guests

G’town, C’ville to partner with DEA on drug takeback Saturday

By Mary Nita Bondurant

Special to The Weekly

The Tucker family from Germantown helped Discovery Park of America in Union City reach 100,000 visitors.

Special to The Weekly

Discovery Park of America in Union City, Tenn. opened on Nov. 1 last year and hosted guest number 100,000 on April 4.

“We’ve been watching the numbers, and we knew we would hit 100,000 on Friday morning,” CEO Jim Rippy said. “We were delighted that it happened to be the Tucker family from Memphis.”

Destin, Brian, Logan and Grayson Tucker were waiting in line when they heard the announcement over the loud speaker. “Ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention, please?

Discovery Park of America

has been open since Nov. 1 of last year, and today, we are celebrating our 100,000 guest!” Then, the Tuckers were identiied, as oicials had concluded that Destin Tucker was the guest that hit the 100,000 mark.

To celebrate, the Tucker family was given free admission to the park, a free lunch in the café at Discovery Park and the invitation to pick out a favorite T-shirt from the gift shop for each family member.

“We are thrilled by the response of this region to Discovery Park,” Rippy stated. “Who would have thought that over 100,000 people would have visited

Union City, Tennessee in just over ive months? And, this was during a long, cold, icy winter.” Park oicials believe that the park will entertain at least 250,000 by year’s end.

This was the irst time the Tuckers had visited Discovery Park.

“Oh, we’ll be back,” Brian said. “This place is just incredibly impressive.

It’s a great thing for West Tennessee to have a place like this. I like the fact that there is a lot to do inside and outside.”

Mary Nita Bondurant is marketing director for Discovery Park of America.

Germantown and Collierville are partnering with the Drug Enforcement Administration Tennessee District to conduct a prescription drug takeback program Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

LEMON RICOTTA PANCAKES INGREDIENTS

1 cup white whole wheat flour (or ½ cup each all-purpose and whole wheat flour) 2 tablespoons sugar 2 teaspoons baking powder ½ teaspoon kosher salt 2 large eggs 1 cup nonfat or reduced-fat milk ½ cup part-skim ricotta cheese ½ teaspoon vanilla — grated zest of 1 lemon 2 tablespoons butter, divided, if needed — warm Blueberry Compote (see recipe) or maple syrup

Charlotte Observer

DIRECTIONS

1 Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Add the eggs, milk, ricotta, vanilla and lemon zest. (Grate the zest directly into the bowl to catch the oils from the lemon.) Whisk everything together but don’t overmix. The batter should be a little lumpy.

2 Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add ½ teaspoon butter and swirl it around until melted. (If you’re using a nonstick skillet or griddle, you may not need butter.) Add about ¼ cup batter and let it spread.

Add more pancakes if there’s room.

3 Cook until there are bubbles all over the top of the pancakes, particularly around the edges, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip and cook the other side 30 seconds to a minute, until beginning to brown. Transfer to a plate. (Place in a warm oven until they’re all done if desired.)

Continue to cook, adjusting the heat and adding more butter to the pan as needed.

Serve warm with butter and warm Blueberry Compote or maple syrup.

Lemon ricotta pancakes with blueberry compote can make for a wonderful dinner.

time to go out for brunch on a busy weekend morning? Add the typical restaurant wait, and you could blow a whole Saturday trying to get a wale.

Make a wale yourself on a Tuesday night, and you have a delivery system for maple syrup and bacon, too.

That’s part of the idea behind turning breakfast foods into dinner.

“Breakfast is usually on the go,” says Chapel Hill, N.C., cooking instructor Caitlin Burke. She got a lesson herself in how much people love the idea when she taught a breakfast class for kids and parents last summer at A Southern Season.

“The parents said, ‘What we need is breakfast for dinner for adults.’” So

Burke held a class on it in January, and it was a hit. “Everyone likes breakfast, so there’s more opportunity to play.”

What makes breakfast for dinner diferent from a bowl of cereal eaten over the sink? “It requires a little more time and organization,” she says. “And more substantial, heavier dishes it better at the end of the day.”

Landis picks savoriness, doing things that might involve eggs but don’t necessarily involve maple syrup, like shakshuka, a Middle Eastern dish of eggs poached in a rich tomato base.

“You’ve always got eggs in the (refrigerator),” she says.

“We tried to take it a little beyond that.”

With asparagus abundant now, enjoy tangy, nutritious salad It’s time to eat fresher and enjoy some diferent options from the produce aisle. Warmer weather brings fresh asparagus, green beans and strawberries to grocers. Bring them home and freshen up your meals while you give yourself and your family a healthy shot of nutrition as well.

Although you can purchase asparagus all year, it is most abundant during spring. And at only 3 calories a spear, you can indulge often without reaching your calorie limit.

Asparagus contains plant chemicals called saponins, which act to lower inlammation in the body, lower blood pressure and help control blood glucose levels. Asparagus also contains inulin, a type of iber that acts like a prebiotic.

Maybe it’s time for brunch to make way for brinner.

The “brunch” concept has been around since the 1890s, when British college students came up with the word for having a later Sunday breakfast after Saturday drinking binges.

But brinner is another idea: eating breakfast foods for dinner because you love them.

It must be a real word. It’s in the Urban Dictionary, and it’s turning up on the food-trend lists, part of a larger movement toward eating what you want, when you want it: breakfast for dinner, pizza for breakfast, eggs on pizza for dinner.

You can’t look around the foodblog world without seeing new uses for wale irons: Stuing wales, made with leftover Thanksgiving dressing.

Pizza wales, using a wale iron to reheat pizza slices. French toast wales, mac-and-cheese wales.

There are even reports of breakfast-for-dinner wedding bufets, with omelet and pancake bars served with mimosas and Bloody Marys — and not just for morning weddings.

It’s all starting to go a little far, but what kid, or kid-at-heart adult, doesn’t clap hands at the idea of breakfast for dinner?

Lindsay Landis, a Nashville food blogger (Love & Olive Oil), wrote the cookbook “Breakfast for Dinner” with her husband, Taylor Hackbarth.

Landis has fond memories of her own childhood, when her father would whip out breakfast for dinner.

“He could barely do a frozen pizza,” she says. “But he could do scrambled eggs. Whenever Mom was out of town, that’s what he did.”

These days, brinner is more practical than brunch. Who really has

1 Heat the oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and chili peppers and cook until the onion is softened and just beginning to brown, about 5 to 7 minutes.

2 Add tomatoes with their juice, broth, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt and pepper. Lower the heat and simmer 20 to 22 minutes, or until thickened. Stir occasionally so it doesn’t stick.

3 Make indentations in the sauce with the back of a spoon and crack an egg into each.

Cover and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, or until the whites are set and yolks are thick but still runny. Sprinkle with the parsley and feta and serve with warm bread.

ASPARAGUS SALAD WITH FRESH MOZZARELLA Makes about 6 servings, ½ cup each.

INGREDIENTS

Spring is prime time for asparagus, and it’s a great salad partner with green beans that are also coming into stores. For the best flavor, buy only the amount you can eat quickly.

RECIPE FOR HEALTH

any “bad” bacteria to gain a foothold, which could lead to intestinal distress.

It also contains high levels of folate, good amounts of other B vitamins, and signiicant levels of trace minerals, like copper.

Today’s salad recipe combines asparagus with green beans and other ingredients to produce a lavorful, tangy salad.

One nice thing about using these two vegetables together is that it brings down the cost of the dish.

Even in season, asparagus can be a little pricey.

If you use thin asparagus, and you cut the green beans and asparagus into pieces of similar size, you

BLUEBERRY COMPOTE

can’t really distinguish the pieces from each other until you put them in your mouth.

This salad is best eaten a day after it’s put together.

I ate some right after making it, and I thought the mixture seemed a little too tangy. The serving I had the next day tasted better, allowing the dressing to penetrate the vegetables more, and also mellowing the onions. The pieces of fresh mozzarella also had more time to soak up some of the dressing, making them more lavorful.

Be sure to buy only the amount of asparagus you can eat quickly, as it tends to lose moisture readily and become limp and less

tasty. After you bring them home, you can also wrap a damp paper towel around the bottom of the stalks to help them stay fresh another few days.

Some stores bundle their asparagus into onepound bunches. If you buy a bundle like this, you will end up with half left over, since this recipe uses just half a pound. You can quickly cook the other half-pound by tossing the spears with a little olive oil, salt and pepper, and roasting them in a single layer on a baking sheet in a hot oven, 400-425 degrees for 10-20 minutes, depending on the thickness of the asparagus spears you are using.

Sports PREP SOCCER

Collierville shuts out Houston, 1-0

By John Varlas varlas@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2350

At the conclusion of Tuesday’s soccer game between Collierville and Houston, Dragons coach Drew Hensarling needed a seat, Mustangs sophomore Joshua Moss needed X-rays and Collierville principal Beth Robbins was being asked if she’d consider closing school.

Just another night in the area’s biggest rivalry.

The host Dragons — ranked second in The Commercial Appeal’s Super Six — got a irst-half goal from Jeremy Atkinson and made it stand up thanks to some resolute defending to defeat the topranked Mustangs, 1-0.

“Our nickname is the Dragons but we fought like Lions,” said Hensarling, who is leaving the team at the end of the season.

“The thing about this team is that the players genuinely care about each other, from seniors all the way down to freshmen. Not just as soccer

players but as people.”

Collierville (10-1-3) initially looked shaky, but started settling down after Atkinson hit the post nine minutes in. Three minutes later, the speedy senior had his team on the scoreboard.

Prior to Atkinson’s goal, Houston (10-2-1) had a great chance to take an early lead but Austin Gray couldn’t convert.

“If Austin Gray scores it’s a diferent game,” said Mustangs coach David Wolf. “We came out complacent. You could tell some of these guys weren’t prepared for the intensity of the game.”

Houston spent much of the second half chasing the equalizer, which was made more diicult when Moss, the starting forward, went down with what Wolf said was either a broken hand or wrist.

“Jeremy provides such a change of pace,” said Hensarling, whose team hasn’t lost since dropping its opening game to third-ranked CBHS. “He opens things up for others. ... We just showed so much heart, that’s the main thing.”

Rival Dragons, Red Devils tie for girls title Dragons’ easily win boys crown

By Pete Wickham Special to The Weekly

When two rivals like Collierville and Germantown tie for the girls team title in a meet like last Saturday’s Dragon Relays, that’s memorable. When the tie happens because of two gutsy performances in the meet’s inal two events, then it becomes something to savor.

Collierville senior Alexa Brainard, feathering a case of shin splints, took of the ice bags and won the girls 3,200-meter run (12:41.5), her third victory of the weekend. It gave the host Dragons a 10-point lead, but by not entering a 4x400-meter relay team, they left the door open for Germantown, who needed the win to share the team trophy.

Enter sophomore Triniti Smith, who chopped up a three-second deicit in the anchor leg to give a young Red Devils’ squad reason for a shrieking yell when the inal standings were announced.

“Our kids are so young, this is exciting for them,” said Germantown coach Brenda Walton.

Collierville’s boys easily won 191-111 over Germantown in the meet, which drew only 10 squads on the rare late-April Easter weekend.

Brainard, headed to run at Western Kentucky, was part of the winning distance medley relay (16:20.82) last Friday night, and won the 1,600 (5:12.09) early Saturday afternoon.

She did so running in the back of the pack of the boys event.

“That was something I wanted to do for a couple of weeks, to challenge myself,” said Brainard, her shins coated in protective bandage. “For a couple of laps I felt pretty good, then it went away.”

She didn’t take the gun for the 800, and until just before the 3,200 coach Bobby Yates worried that Brainard’s ailment would cost the team title. But she led teammate Sarah Carpenter on a workmanlike pace through the eight laps.

“I’ve been hurting for a couple of weeks,” said Brainard, named most valuable girls performer at the meet, “but I didn’t want to be the one to cost us a championship.”

As she crossed the inish line, Yates quietly looked at his star and said, “Thank you, Alexa.”

Chasing down opponents is fun stuf for Smith, who was also the runnerup in the individual 400.

“I once was trailing by 50 yards in a race and came back to win it. I like doing that.”

The Dragons girls squad also captured the 4x800 relay while Kira Prior won the triple jump (31-3 ½).

Jaden Davis of Hutchison had the girls Outstanding Performance with a 55.86 400-meter dash, a tenth of the state’s best time this season. She also won the 100 (12.20).

Houston’s girls got wins from Riley White in the long jump (15-6 ½) and Erin Lester in the discus (87-6).

Collierville’s boys were led by MVP Josh Wheeler, a senior who won the 110 hurdles (15.03), triple jump (43-9 ½) and pole vault (13-6) while inishing second in the long jump. The Dragons also got wins from Garrett Talley in the 800 (2:00.35), Drew Carf in the 3,200 (10:15.12) and the distance medley relay.

Germantown was led by wins from Marquis Thomas in the high jump (5-8) and the 4x800 relay.

Houston’s Sam Kempka swept the shot (53-10) and discus (153-8) while the Mustangs’ Noah Arrindell won the 400 (49.73).

Bartlett’s Kaleb Mahoney won the 1,600 (4:45.73).

Harding freshman Calvin Austin III was named the Outstanding Male Performer with wins in the long jump (21-3 ½), 100 (11.45) and 200 (23.03).

White Station won the 4x100, 4x200 and 4x400 relays, junior Terry White running a leg in all three victories. Yates said he expected the dropof this year with the holiday weekend falling on the April time in which the event has always been held. “Fortunately, Easter doesn’t come this late again until 2025,” he said.

PREP ROUNDUP

MUS star Jones elects to stay home, play football for Tigers

By John Varlas varlas@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2350

A few visits to University of Memphis football practice were enough to convince Peyton Jones that his football future will be best served by staying at home.

Jones, a standout class of 2015 defensive end at Memphis University School, announced via Twitter last Saturday that he’s verbally committed to the Tigers and will make it oicial on National Signing Day in February.

“Honored to say that I’ve oicially committed to play football at the University of Memphis,” Jones tweeted.

He said the atmosphere around the program is what impressed him the most.

“Memphis is on the upswing,” he said. “I really like all the coaches. I love the way they make practices seem like so much fun.

Everybody’s lying to the ball and everyone is just so involved.

“I’m going to try and help make Memphis great.”

Jones had two sacks and ive tackles for lost yardage as a junior, helping the Owls to a 10-3 record and a state runner-up inish in Division 2-AA. An at h letic 6 -7, 240-pounder, Jones said conversations with Tigers defensive coordinator Barry Odom have indicated he’ll line up at defensive end, outside linebacker or perhaps even at tight end.

He is the second local prospect in the class of 2015 to commit to the U of M in the last week, joining Melrose athlete Tony Pollard. And Jones said he’d

be glad if more followed his lead.

“I think it’s really important (for Memphis players to stay home) since there’s so much talent in the area,” Jones said. “I think we can do a lot if we all get on board.”

IN SATURDAY’S GAMES Christian Brothers, the top-ranked team in The Commercial Appeal’s baseball Dandy Dozen and the state’s No. 1 team in Division 2-AA, swept a pair of games against Lakota (Ohio) East in Nashville. Ole Miss signee

John Wesley Ray pitched the Brothers to an 8-1 victory in the opener, while Central Arkansas-bound Corey Herndon improved to 5-0 with a 5-2 win in the second game. Breck Ruddick hit his irst home run of the year in that one for the Brothers (21-3).

Brandon Dodd hit a tworun home run to back the pitching of Mac Barnes (3-0) as second-ranked Arlington defeated Lexington, 9-2. Tyler Blount and Austin Brenner had runscoring singles for the Tigers, who are now 24-2. ...

Sixth-ranked Houston (22-

6) won the championship of the Soddy-Daisy Classic in Chattanooga with a 2-0 victory over archrival and No. 5-ranked Collierville (23-7). Jack Rude had a complete-game shutout for the Mustangs, while Jared Schmidt hit his sixth home run of the year for Houston.

Blake Smith earned the victory to improve to 3-0 and Von Watson hit his 10th home run of the year to lead visiting and seventh-ranked Briarcrest Christian School (19-1) to a 10-6 victory over Jackson Christian School.

Huey’s Germantown Now Open!

MUS’ Chandler Brown places second at clay target competition

By Rebecca Harris Greer Special to The Weekly

Chandler Brown, a senior at Memphis University School, recently took second place in the Tennessee Scholastic Clay Target Program at the Memphis Sport Shooting Association facilities.

Brown secured second place overall after a shootout among the three inalists, all of whom had tied with scores of 96 out of 100.

A Germantown resident, Brown competes in singles, handicap and doubles. Lindenwood University, national trapshooting champions for eight consecutive years, has ofered Brown a place on its 2015 shooting team.

Barry Ray, MUS upper school principal, praised

Brown and the school’s trapshooting program. “Trap requires tremendous mental strength, skill and discipline, as does any competitive sport — however, trapshooting also requires an unusual level of humility, because these competitors get less recognition than most,� Ray said. “Chandler provides an excellent example of this dedication, talent and humility. Coach Hamilton Eggers has built a quality trap program at our school. We are extremely proud of his program and Chandler’s accomplishments.�

Grizzlies NBA PLAYOFFS: MEMPHIS 111, OKLAHOMA CITY 105 (OT)

ENDURANCE TEST Grizzlies outlast Thunder in OT to send series back to Memphis tied

By Ronald Tillery tillery@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2353

NIkkI BOerTMAN/The COMMerCIAl APPeAl

Grizzlies point guard Mike Conley had 19 points and 12 assists in Tuesday’s 111-105 overtime win over Oklahoma City. The two teams meet for Game 3 Thursday at 7 p.m. at FedExForum.

Griz swing from joy to heartbreak to final elation

OKLAHOMA CITY — When it all unraveled, when everything bad hit at once, when Kevin Durant threw in a four-point play, when Mike Conley missed those foul shots, when Kendrick Perkins scored his irst points of the night to send the game into overtime, Zach Randolph had the same reaction some of y’all did.

“I got to praying,” he said.

And, seriously, why not?

Not because God cares who wins a basketball game, even a game as fabulous as this one. Because it was all too lipping much.

A game won. A game in the bag. Then a game apparently ripped away by a combination of brilliance and luck and circumstance and Durant.

“The people I was watching with couldn’t even stand up after that,” said Griz CEO Jason Levien. “I don’t know how the players went out and did what they did.”

How they beat the Thunder, he meant. How the Grizzlies turned what folks around the country who didn’t know better were already calling the worst heartbreak in franchise story — someone should get them a list — and turned it into one of the sweetest victories.

“That was a tremendous game to be a part of,” said Grizzlies coach Dave Joerger.

But it was an even better game to win. Or win twice, is more like it. The inal score — after the Grizzlies won it the second time — was 111-105.

“I don’t know when I’ve had so much fun,” said Beno Udrih.

It’s Beno long, long time.

And, no, you should not be above hideous Beno Udrih puns like that one.

They were part of this crazy night. They started lying around Memphis sometime in the second half, when it appeared that the Grizzlies would be lifted to victory by a third-string point guard who was only playing because Nick Calathes took an illegal substance called tamoxifen.

Naturally, Udrih went nuts on the Thunder. He hit 6 of 8 shots for 14 astonishing points. He gave the Grizzlies a shot of Udrihnaline. It was Bensanity, out there. Or do you prefer Grizzlies with Benoits?

“I’m glad we signed him,” said Levien.

There will Beno argument about that! And this column might be filled with even more Beno groaners except for what happened down the stretch. Mike Miller hit a massive 3-pointer. A couple of Conley free throws put the Grizzlies up by ive with 18 seconds left. And then, well, nobody ever moved to Memphis be-

cause they wanted life to be simple and easy, right?

Good thing about that.

Durant hit a shot that was absolutely impossible.

Unless, just maybe, he is a witch. He hit the thing while he was falling out of bounds, just winging the thing up there, as he was toppling to the ground.

It dropped. Oh, and he was fouled. And then Conley split his free throws, because Memphians never hit their free throws, and Perkins — of all people! — got a last second putback to send it into overtime.

It was an all-time Memphis gut punch. Or that’s what everyone was ready to write. Never mind the national championship gut punch, or the 2012 Game 1 Clippers gut punch, or the three-overtime gut punch against this same Thunder team three years ago.

But it was still a doozy. It was the kind of gut punch that would knock out a whole lot of teams. Except, in the next few minutes the Grizzlies demonstrated again that — whatever their laws — they are not a whole lot of teams.

“We kept ighting,” said Tony Allen. “That’s who we are.”

That’s who he is, most of all. Of all the grit-grind games Allen has played for Memphis, that might have been the grittiest and grindiest of them all.

He ripped a ball away so Randolph could score the irst bucket of overtime.

He drew an ofensive foul after that. Suddenly, the Grizzlies were up a couple of baskets and the team started to believe, really believe, they could win the thing again.

There was one more big moment left for Allen.

With the game tied at 105.

Allen just laughed when asked about ofense during the postgame news conference — he said he didn’t know a whole lot about that part of the game — but in the game’s critical possession, he found Randolph for the bucket to give the Grizzlies the lead for good.

After that, it was just hanging on. Then it was exhaling at long last.

“It showed our character,” said Randolph. “We never quit.”

Biggest gut punch ever?

Nah. Make that sweetest ist pump instead.

OKLAHOMA CITY — A pair of teams that put together a playof classic three years ago might just be working on another.

That could have easily been a prevailing notion Monday night following the Grizzlies’ 111-105 Game 2 victory against the Oklahoma City Thunder in overtime at Chesapeake Energy Arena.

After a breath-taking display on defense by a certain No. 9, ive periods and a miraculous yet clutch four-point play, the Griz head back to Memphis with their best-of-seven irst-round series knotted at 1-1.

“That’s why the playofs are so fun,” Griz guard Courtney Lee said.

“It’s a diferent atmosphere. As a player and a competitor, you want to play in this type of atmosphere.”

The Griz had to work long and hard to rebound from a demoralizing Game 1 defeat. But that’s what many onlookers predicted how this Western Conference playof matchup would be: long and hard.

This marked the sixth playof overtime game the Griz have played against the Thunder. Memphis won four of the previous ive.

The Grizzlies’ only loss so far when these teams grace the fans with extra playof basketball came in that three-overtime classic in FedExForum during the 2011 Western Conference semiinals.

“There were a lot of big plays,” Griz coach Dave Joerger said. “Not just the-ball-go-in kind of plays, but loose balls. Tremendous game to be a part of- passionate playof basketball with great competition.”

Griz forward Zach Randolph scored a layup with 26 seconds left in the overtime, and that proved to be the game-winner after the score was knotted at 105. Randolph led the Grizzlies’ ofense by scoring eight of his team-high 25 points in the extra session.

Tony Allen, wearing No. 9 in Beale Street Blue, spearheaded clutch defense that lasted the entire game. Just ask Thunder forward Kevin Durant, whom Allen harassed into 12 of 28 shooting and a night illed with more frustration than feel-good looks at the basket.

“They made more plays than we did,” Durant said. “But we’re not panicking at all.”

Allen said he just followed the game plan.

“Basically, it’s going to be a slugfest,” Allen said. “We’re going to pound it and they’re going to run it. Whoever executes the best is going to win it.”

Oklahoma City shot 39.8 percent and never led by more than two points. Still, the Thunder had chances to steal a game the Griz had under control most of the night.

Regulation ended with a Kendrick Perkins put-back basket that knotted the score at 99 as the horn sounded. The end of the fourth quarter couldn’t have been wilder.

Memphis led 99-97 when the Thunder began its inal possession with 12 seconds left. Russell Westbrook went for the win with a 3-pointer and missed. But Perkins grabbed the rebound and scored on his only ield goal attempt of the game.

Part of the reason the Thunder were in position to tie the score was because Mike Conley converted just three of six free throws

in the inal 30 seconds.

Still, Memphis led 98-93 with just 18 seconds left to play. But Thunder forward Kevin Durant then made the most dramatic play of the night by converting an improbable four-point play.

Durant caught a pass from Westbrook in the corner after Westbrook saved the ball from going out of bounds. It was another busted play for the Thunder — one of several it had down the stretch — and Durant just threw up a heave over Marc Gasol.

The referees tagged Gasol with a foul, and Durant calmly sank the foul shot to cut the Griz lead to 9897. Conley then split a pair of free throws and that set up Perkins’ heroics.

“I thought we had great composure,” Randolph said. “It showed that we’ve been there before. We held together when we could have easily put our heads down.”

Grizzlies center Marc Gasol shoots against Oklahoma City forward Serge Ibaka.

Allen wouldn’t allow the Griz to be anything but energetic. The Griz reserve swingman aggressively fronted Durant to deny him the ball, and contested every shot.

Thunder coach Scott Brooks questioned whether the Griz were being allowed to play with too much contact.

“That’s part of their game plan,” Thunder guard Russell Westbrook said. “They do a good job of getting their hands on you. We’ve just got to play through it.”

The Griz looked far from the jittery bunch that dug a 25-point hole at the start of Game 1. They came out playing a more deliberate and slower pace and executed on both ends of the court.

Memphis’ bench also redeemed itself from being virtually nonexistent in Game 1 to 33 points (14 from Beno Udrih).

“Our overall activity was better than (in Game 1),” Joerger said.

Good Health YOUR HEALTH

Exercise without getting of the couch

By Anthony L. Komarof, M.D. Universal Uclick

Dear Doctor K: I’m a couch potato. Can I exercise without getting of my couch?

Answer: Every month the evidence grows stronger: The more time you spend sitting, the greater your risk of developing various serious illnesses. Most of our ancestors — going back thousands of years — were a lot more physically active than most of us are today. They had to be: Their survival depended on it.

So I’d love to see you get of that couch, or that desk chair.

But if you really can’t ind the motivation to do so, try “couchersizing” and “deskersizing.”

I asked Kailin Collins, a physical therapist at Harvardailiated Massachusetts General Hospital, for some couchfriendly exercises. Here’s what she shared: You can work several muscle groups while seated on a couch. For example, twist your torso from side to side for the length of a commercial break. That should get your heart rate up and work the muscles in your sides.

Or exercise while lying on the couch: With your legs in front of you, squeeze your thigh muscles for a count of 10, then relax and repeat several times. Try leg lifts while on your back to build abs, or side lifts to strengthen hip muscles.

Here are some more exercises you can do during commercial breaks: Sit to stand: This exercise works the muscles in your buttocks and the front of your thighs. It helps preserve your ability to get up from a chair or out of a car. Repeated repetitions can increase your heart rate.

Go from sitting to standing to sitting again, 10 times in a row. Rest for a minute, then repeat.

Calf stretch: Keeping your calves lexible can reduce your risk for common foot injuries.

Sit on the edge of a couch with your feet lat on the loor.

Keeping your heel on the loor, lift and point your toes toward the ceiling. Hold for 30 seconds, then repeat with the other leg, three times per leg.

Stand on one leg: Good balance reduces your risk of falling, and balance improves with practice.

Holding on to the back of a chair, lift one heel toward your buttocks. Hold for 30 to 45 seconds, three times per leg.

Better yet, walk across the room during commercials, swinging your arms as you go. When I’m working at my desk — as when writing this column — I do this every 10 to 15 minutes. This is after I’ve explained what I’m doing to anyone who might wonder about my behavior!

Fashion designer Amy Johnson, of KayOss Designs, has a glass of juice at her home in St. Louis as part of the Gerson therapy she is following to treat her ovarian cancer. She will drink one fresh-squeezed glass of fruit/vegetable juice every hour, up to 13 a day.

TOXINS OUT Designer shuns chemo for unconventional Gerson therapy

By Blythe Bernhard St. Louis Post-Dispatch

ST. LOUIS — As a vegetarian and daily yoga practitioner, Amy Johnson thought she was healthy before she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer last August. Now she consumes 50 pounds of carrots, 25 pounds of Granny Smith apples and 14 heads of romaine lettuce each week in an efort to keep it from coming back.

The 43-year-old fashion designer has embraced an unconventional and controversial cancer treatment called Gerson therapy, named for the doctor who developed the vegetarian diet to treat his migraine headaches in the 1940s. Eventually, his practice grew to include numerous other maladies, including cancer.

The therapy is not approved by the Food and Drug Administration or recommended by national cancer organizations. Patients pay $11,000 to spend two weeks at a Gerson clinic in Tijuana, Mexico, to learn the diet of juicing, supplements and enemas that they stay on for two years.

After surgery to remove the right ovary, doctors discovered Johnson’s cancer was a rare and aggressive form of clear-cell carcinoma that may not respond well to drugs. Johnson had more surgery, including a hysterectomy, and then decided against chemotherapy.

She raised $24,000 from friends and family, and she and her mother traveled to Mexico to learn about the therapy that requires a drastic lifestyle change.

“I know chemo works for many people. It didn’t make sense to me.

I wanted to pump nutrients into my body, not toxins,” Johnson said.

Doctors, friends, family members and her design clients tried to talk Johnson into going the traditional route with chemotherapy. Her mother, a nurse, was initially fearful of the decision.

“I was just very leery about it all, but Amy seems to adjust to things so

Amy Johnson makes juice from fresh carrots and apples. While fruits and vegetables are thought to play a role in cancer prevention the American Cancer Society does not recognize them as a treatment.

well,” said Carolyn Johnson of Highland, Mo. “She’s gained back most of her energy, and emotionally, she’s so much better. Her father and I are just amazed at how well she’s handling all this.”

Gerson therapy teaches that the body needs to be cleansed of toxins to allow the immune system to heal itself. Participants eat and drink 15 to 20 pounds of organic fruits and vegetables daily. They drink one freshsqueezed glass of juice every hour, up to 13 a day. They also take up to 60 vitamins and enzyme pills each day.

Five times a day, they complete a liquid cofee enema to help the liver “in eliminating toxic residues from the body for good,” according to Gerson’s website. Castor oil, a laxative, is also taken by mouth regularly.

Johnson still sees a doctor at Barnes-Jewish Hospital for follow-up blood work and scans, but she doesn’t want to identify him out of concern for maintaining their relationship.

Her last scan in December showed no signs of cancer, and her blood work is normal.

The National Cancer Institute disavows any evidence of the efectiveness of Gerson therapy absent a peer-reviewed clinical trial. The idea of diet as cancer treatment is

not widely accepted in the medical community. Fruits and vegetables are thought to play some role in preventing cancer, but not treating it, according to the American Cancer Society.

Cofee enemas can lead to infections and dehydration.

Critics take an even harsher stance, calling the Gerson method quackery that preys on the hopes of people with cancer.

“I can’t igure out why anyone thinks it’s natural,” said Dr. David Gorski, a surgical oncologist in Detroit and editor of the blog ScienceBased Medicine. “What’s natural about all these supplements? It’s not natural to put cofee up your behind.

The surgery is what cures the cancer if the cancer’s going to be cured. The chemotherapy decreases the chances of its recurring.”

Gorski said Gerson patients probably would have the same results with a typical, healthy diet after cancer surgery.

Gerson’s website says the program is “remarkably efective at treating a wide range of chronic degenerative diseases” including melanoma, lymphoma, ovarian cancer and lupus.

The clinic does not accept patients with acute leukemia, brain tumors, organ transplants or kidney failure, and says the therapy doesn’t work for Parkinson’s disease or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (Lou Gehrig’s disease). Staf members from the Gerson Institute in San Diego did not respond to a request for comment.

About seven years ago, Johnson left a career as an environmental engineer to pursue her dream in fashion, creating KayOss Designs with a studio in the Central West End. Her work has been featured in high-end boutiques, on runways and on national television. Because her new lifestyle keeps her essentially homebound, she has temporarily given up social events, fashion shows and photo shoots. But she has started to take a few appointments in her studio again.

And she recently walked to a nearby café to meet some friends, bringing her own tea.

“That’s what cancer is telling you — something needs to change in your life,” Johnson said. “I’m not saying this is for everybody. You have to do what you feel is best for you.”

Dr. Komarof is a physician and professor at Harvard Medical School.

Jews turn new chapter, return to seat of Holocaust in Berlin

At Rosa-Luxemburg-Street in the historic Berlin neighborhood Scheunenviertel, people pass the “Stolpersteine,” or stumbling stones, 2,800 brass tiles embedded in the sidewalks by artist Gunter Demnig.

Rabbis carry the Torah scrolls in a solemn procession during the reopening after renovation of Germany’s biggest synagogue at the Rykestrasse in Berlin. The epicenter of the Holocaust, the city where Hitler signed the death warrants of 6 million Jews, seems an unlikely candidate for the world’s fastest growing Jewish community.

T

he epicenter of the Holocaust, the city where Hitler signed the death warrants of 6 million Jews, seems an unlikely candidate for the world’s fastest-growing Jewish community.

But despite this stigma of Nazism, Berlin’s dynamic, prosperous present and its rich, pre-World War II Jewish past initially attracted an inlux of Jews from the former Soviet Union. The community has kept growing with the arrival of thousands of Israelis and smaller numbers of often-young immigrants from Australia, France, the United States and elsewhere.

And this upsurge in the Jewish population — believed to be more than 40,000 — has also spurred tourism to an array of monuments, synagogues, museums and workaday places related to Jewish history and current life in Germany’s capital.

In fact, you can literally trip over this history while walking the streets and looking down on some of the 2,800 shiny brass tiles embedded in sidewalks by artist Gunter Demnig.

These palm-sized “Stolpersteine,” or stumbling stones, bear the names of those murdered by the Nazis, and are placed in front of their onetime homes.

Like these stones, Berlin’s most prominent Jewish sites are connected to the tragic past, but a healthy antidote and probably the best way to begin a tour is a visit to the Jewish Museum, a multilayered panorama of 1,000 years of Jewish culture, lore and history in Germany.

And it’s housed in one of the city’s most striking contemporary buildings, a jagged structure coated with silvery zinc plates and punctured by slanted window slits.

“What we didn’t want to do is just present the death, persecution, prejudice. There was a great deal of normal

The New Synagogue at the Oranienburger Strasse in Berlin glimmers in the sunlight. Once Germany’s largest synagogue in the Jewish Quarter of Berlin, it has been partially reconstructed after being bombed in 1943.

life, regular life, too. Before you die, you live and we want to stress the living,” says Cilly Kugelmann, the museum’s vice director.

Exhibits include vivid re-creations of family life from 1850 to 1933 through paintings, writings, everyday artifacts and even a 16mm home movie, showing a family skiing, swimming and playing with their dog before moving to California in the 1930s.

Although past sufering is starkly portrayed, there are also games and cartoons for children and displays celebrating prominent German Jews from poet Heinrich Heine to jeans inventor Levi Strauss.

If you want a glimpse of what city life was like in 1929, before the Diaspora from Berlin of some 80,000 Jews, stop by to watch “People on Sunday,” a short silent ilm of residents enjoying a sunny weekend made by Billy Wilder, an Austrianborn Jew who was to become one of Hollywood’s great directors.

Perhaps the most gripping of Berlin’s Jewish sites is the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe. Many do a double-take when in the bustling heart of the city, between the Potsdamer Platz and the Bradenburg

Gate, they are suddenly confronted with a vast cluster of 2,711 coin-like slabs of concrete.

The impact is most visceral when wandering through the labyrinth formed by the grayish rectangles.

The sepulchral chill, abetted by a bleak winter sun and a few bare trees, is only lifted by children playing hide and seek within the maze.

Just north of this historic center is the Scheunenviertel, the Jewish Quarter, an area of sedate 19th century apartment buildings, contemporary art galleries and lively side-streets.

The centerpiece is the soaring New Synagogue.

With 3,200 seats, it was Germany’s largest before it was bombed in 1943. Partially reconstructed, it now serves as a museum about the synagogue and the former surrounding community.

Worship does take place at two other synagogues and some 10 houses of prayer — compared to the 33 synagogues in prewar Berlin.

Close by, the former Jewish Girls School has been converted to an art gallery, a museum to the Kennedy family and a New York-style Jewish deli, Mogg and Melzer (pastrami

sandwiches and New York cheesecake are the hot items).

The boys school, now co-ed, reopened in 1993 as the Gymnasium Moses Mendelsohn. Like at most Jewish sites, there is substantial security, but outside the elegant building, knots of students snack, check their mobile phones and sprinkle their German with hip English phrases.

Only a few tombstones remain in the neighboring 17th century Jewish Cemetery, burial site of some 12,000.

It was destroyed by the Nazis in 1943.

Down the street, set in a small park, is the Deserted Room installation — a table and two chairs, one knocked over — that symbolizes the sudden eviction of Jews from their homes.

And within a narrow courtyard, in what is known as the Haus Schwarzenberg, are three small museums, probably the most moving dedicated to an Otto Weidt.

Nearly blind himself, the Christian owner of a workshop producing brooms and brushes hired blind and deaf Jews and protected them from the Gestapo.

The museum includes a room hidden by a cabinet where he secreted an entire family.

Several agencies ofer walking tours of this quarter, but tourism here is lowkeyed and free of the reconstituted “Jewish villages” and cultural shows found in some East European countries to attract visitors in search of a vanished way of life.

“If people come to Berlin they don’t see real Jewish culture, but they see landmarks of the Jewish past, landmarks of destruction of Jewish culture,” says Kugelmann.

“When you visit, you have to be a kind of archaeologist to decipher the Jewish past here, like reading the hieroglyphics of the Rosetta Stone.”

GERMANTOWN ANIMAL SHELTER

More veterinarians turn to prosthetics to help legless pets

By Sue Manning Name: Callie Age: 3 ½ Breed: Domestic medium hair

Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — A 9-month-old boxer pup named Duncan barreled down a beach in Oregon, running full tilt on soft sand into YouTube history and showing more than 4 million viewers that he can revel in a good romp despite lacking back legs.

“It’s a heartwarming, wonderful thing to see,” said Dr. Bonnie Beaver, a professor at Texas A&M University’s College of Veterinary Medicine and executive director of the American College of Veterinary Behaviorists. “These animals generally look to us as if they are very happy. We don’t know that they are, but they are excited and jumping around and doing things that are wonderful to watch.”

But dogs aren’t made to stand, and they’re putting unwanted pressure on their joints and probably shortening their lives, Beaver said. Duncan’s owners say they are “keeping a vigilant eye” on the animal who balked at a doggy wheelchair and can’t use prosthetics.

“Vertical postures are not normal for four-legged creatures,” Beaver said. “The use of a prosthetic can give that animal a more normal life.”

More veterinarians are using wheelchairs, orthotics and prosthetics to improve the lives of dogs that have lost limbs to deformity, infection or accident, experts say. The move is driven by persistent pet owners who embrace their animals as family and aren’t deterred by the cost and commitment of outitting disabled dogs with the devices.

At the same time, there have been great strides in technology to keep up with U.S. soldiers returning wounded from war, and veterinarians have adapted the materials and know-how for the

Pirelli, a Labrador-golden retriever mix was born in December 2011 in Atlanta with his umbilical cord wrapped around his back left leg so he never grew a paw.

Pirelli uses a prosthetic limb and with it is a “happy, expressive dog, able to run and play,” says his handler, Dudley Arnold.

rising demand from clients.

“There are so many things we can do to solve mechanical problems. ... If you have broken parts, we can replace them,” said Martin Kaufmann, co-owner of Veterinary Orthotics and Prosthetics in Denver, also known as OrthoPets, which helps about 2,000 animals a year.

Most devices range from $150 to $2,000 but can cost more, Kaufmann said.

Besides commercial manufacturers, there are likely thousands of backyard builders who have created carts, slings or other devices to help their pets get around.

The number of pets using artiicial limbs will never be huge, Beaver said. It takes a dedicated person willing to take the prosthetic on and of, clean it and teach the animal to use it. It will likely mean a lifestyle choice for pet owners.

With the time and cost required, many wonder why people spend time on disabled animals when there are so many healthy dogs and cats awaiting homes.

The answer, Beaver said, is “some people want to.”

No one knows that better than Duncan’s owners, Amanda Giese

and Gary Walters, co-founders of Panda Paws Rescue for special needs and hospice dogs in Vancouver, Wash. Of the 3,500 dogs they have placed in the last 19 months, 10 were two-legged. Nine of them adapted to wheelchairs and found homes.

Only 19-pound Duncan, whose deformed back legs were amputated, refused to take to wheels.

Prosthetic legs aren’t an option for him because there are no partial limbs strong enough to attach them to.

The couple often carry Duncan to ease the pressure on his front legs.

Another dog teaches kids what it means to be diferent. The Labrador-golden retriever mix named Pirelli was destined to be a service dog at Canine Assistants, a training school in Atlanta, but one back paw never developed.

Pirelli uses a prosthetic limb, and with it is a “happy, expressive dog, able to run and play, retrieve things and eat his food,” said Dudley Arnold, Pirelli’s handler.

“The goal was to help kids understand that just because your body doesn’t work, doesn’t mean you aren’t a good person inside,” Arnold said.

“

My hearing loss was a gradual thing as I grew older.Then, when I started withdrawing from crowds, I knew I had to do something. I went to the Zounds oice where I met a great, friendly team and was itted with hearing aids. It’s been AMAZING to hear again the simple things like rustling of the leaves in the wind, but most of all they gave me back my life.
