Taste of the Town Foodie fundraiser garners support for MakeA-Wish, G’town Chamber

By Kyle Kurlick Special to The Weekly

Hundreds gathered at the Hilton Memphis on Sept. 21 for the 14th annual Taste of the Town to enjoy ine food and drink while raising support for Make-A-Wish and the Germantown Chamber of Commerce. Spectrum Lighting and Controls Incorporated was the presenting sponsor for this year’s event. Showcasing the talents from 30 Memphis restaurants, Taste of the Town gave attendees the chance to walk around the hotel ballroom sampling appetizers, entrées and desserts while enjoying background violin music by Donna Wolf. This year’s event added a new feature where guests voted on the best appetizer and entrée, best dessert, best presentation and best overall restaurant. One popular dish came from Southland Park

It wasn’t so much the bedand-breakfast part, but rather the special-events venue that took up about 20 minutes of the town planner’s presentation Monday night. After hearing detailed plans for the use of ampliiers, parking and the number of people allowed for indoor (49) and outdoor (200) events, the Collierville Board of Mayor and Aldermen asked only a few questions about the proposed Stratton House Bed & Breakfast at 198 Natchez, just a few blocks from Town Square. By a 5-0 vote, the board granted a conditional use permit to Hampton and Katie Parr to turn the home and one-acre lot into a B&B and a special-event venue for private parties. The approval means the town now has its irst B&B in recent history. Before the vote, Mayor Stan Joyner said, “There’s no doubt there’s been a need in the town. I hope it will be well received by the neighbors.” Alderman Billy Patton suggested that if any neighbors object to parking in front of their homes, they can rope that area of as a no-parking zone. Cory Brady with Integrated Land Solutions assured the board the owners will continue working with the neighbors because the Parrs have a 12-lot subdivision they are developing in addition to the B&B. “We have to sell the lots,” See B&B, 2

In the News GERMANTOWN

Neighbors agree to Western Gateway plan Board’s final vote set for October meeting By Jennifer Pignolet pignolet@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2372

The Germantown residents of the Nottoway neighborhood will no longer push back against the city’s proposal to rezone 58 acres that includes Kirby Farms, the homeowner association’s attorney said Monday during a public

hearing on the issue. Hunter Humphreys said the compromise made on the Western Gateway plan “is a result that they certainly can live with.” “They understand the need for this Western Gateway plan to be approved for the beneit of Germantown and are willing to accept and not reject this compromised result,” Humphreys said. The issue passed a second reading from the Board of Mayor and Aldermen Monday night and moves to a third and inal read-

Germantown Police report

ing at the board’s next meeting. The plan involves 58 acres at the western end of the city between Poplar and Poplar Estates, backing up on one end to Nottoway. The zoning overlay would allow any existing businesses in the region to remain, while allowing for increased development. The original plan had possible ive-story buildings backing up to the neighbors’ property. The compromised version includes a 150-foot bufer from the property lines of Nottoway where

any structure could be no taller than three stories. After 150 feet, structures could be up to ive stories, or six stories if a warrant is approved. Farther away from the neighborhood, buildings up to eight stories would be allowed, and up to 10 with a warrant. Economic and community development director Cameron Ross said there are no speciic plans for that area yet, but developers are waiting on the zoning vote to move forward.

The plan, in the works for almost two years, has jumped between the Planning Commission and the aldermen as residents pleaded for more time and concessions from developer Ray Gill. The Planning Commission irst approved the zoning overlay last year before the aldermen sent it back for reconsideration. Walker Taylor, a resident in the area and owner of the Germantown Commissary, said he still has concerns that homes are “going to be towered over.”

First lady Michelle Obama chats Sept. 17 with patients at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. She used the occasion to emphasize the importance of the work done in the hospital that has helped raise the survival rate of childhood cancers.

First lady visits ‘Good to be able to highlight the great work that’s going on here’ By Tom Charlier charlier@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2572

She declared that she didn’t like to do selies, but on Sept. 17, before a select group of kids in Memphis, irst lady Michelle Obama made an emphatic exception. “All right, you guys, let’s do selies,” Obama told more than a dozen patients at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. In a visit that was delayed nearly two hours by aircraft problems, Obama held forth for an hour with patients, chatting and doing artwork with them amid the pastel surroundings of the hospital’s Activities Room. Although the event was closed to the general public, the irst lady took questions from the kids that touched on everything from favorite foods and sports teams to her proliic travel. She used the occasion to emphasize the importance of St. Jude’s mission to ight cancer and other deadly childhood diseases. Since its founding in 1962 by entertainer Danny Thomas, the hospital’s laboratory and clinical advances have helped boost childhood cancer survival rates from 20 to 80 percent, with researchers eyeing a goal of 90 percent within the next decade. “I think it’s really good to be

able to highlight the great work that’s going on here,” Obama said. Carrying on a tradition dating back three decades, Obama was the fourth irst lady to visit St. Jude, the others being Nancy Reagan, Barbara Bush and Hillary Clinton. Such high-proile visits are vital to St. Jude, which doesn’t charge for patients’ treatment and costs $2 million a day to operate, said Rick Shadyac Jr., president and CEO of ALSAC, the fundraising arm of the hospital. Aside from some public money, most of its funding comes from individual contributions. “We have a long tradition of hosting presidents, vice presidents and irst ladies, and I think that speaks to the magnitude of our mission,” Shadyac said. Family members of the patients who visited with Obama concurred that the visit was beneicial. “Anything that gives more exposure to St. Jude can’t be anything but great,” said Audrey Davis, mother of 13-year-old sickle cell anemia patient Courtney Davis, who introduced Obama to the audience at the event. But the irst lady’s visit did bring some inconvenience to patients’ families. On Sept. 15, when the visit was announced, St. Jude sent families a letter notify-

ing them that for those patients who had hospital appointments scheduled for Sept. 17, tight security dictated that, in most cases, only one family member should accompany them. No appointments were canceled because of the visit, hospital oicials said. During the long delay, children who had been brought to the Activities Room to meet Obama occupied themselves by doing artwork and playing with iPads. Patients engaged in art therapy, in which they use art to express feelings. Among those waiting for the irst lady was Tony Thomas, hospital board member and son of hospital founder Danny Thomas, who introduced himself as “Marlo’s brother,” referring to actress and St. Jude advocate Marlo Thomas. When she finally arrived, Obama received a rousing ovation and introduction. Then she moved among the three tables around which the young patients sat. She listened as 7-year-old Devon Crymes said strawberries were among his favorite foods, while tablemate Tyler West, 8, announced his preference for steak. During the question-and-answer session with the patients, Obama ielded a query about how she met her famous husband. She answered that when she met him, he was “just Barack” and not the president. She added that she tried to talk him out of running for the nation’s highest oice. “He didn’t listen,” she said.

to highlight details. After earning A’s in art class, Landry began carving after seeing an artist in action. “I knew that’s what I wanted to do,” he said. “My dad bought me all my chain saws. I have been doing it ever since.” The Landrys travel with their two rat terriers — Bear and Porter — for about ive months a year working festivals, fairs and special events. “She’s the brains; I’m the brawn. She uses one side of the brain. I use the other. Together, we are a whole,” he said of his wife. Landry normally works with the softer woods like pine or cedar. He charges $150 and up to $10,000, depending on the time and details. Among the estimated 500 chain saw artists

Brady said. “We can’t be just good neighbors today. We have to be good neighbors tomorrow.” The town’s Historic District Commission will take up the last piece of the approval process on Oct. 14 when it addresses such issues as a proposed addition to the rear of the Colonial Revival home built before the Civil War, fencing, landscaping and on-site parking. The commission had planned to meet this month before Monday night’s mayor and aldermen meeting, but did not have a quorum. The one-story home has such features as leaded and stained-glass windows, 12-foot ceilings, sliding pocket doors and seven ornate ireplaces. One of the biggest problems that the project faced

Landry typically works with soft woods such as cedar and pine. The finished sculptures can range from $150 up to $10,000, depending on the time and detail.

working full time in the U.S., Landry has placed in several chain saw competitions and even in Japan at an international show. As he works on an eagle from a piece of cedar, Landry wears his Kevlar chaps, goggles and ear mufs. He positions the stump so that the eagle’s beak is naturally tan from the red cedar base.

He alternates among one of nine chain saws. Soon red and tan specks of sawdust pepper his face, T-shirt and arms. Sitting in his trailer, Landry said, “It is almost not like work. I look forward to getting up and doing it every day. I keep wanting to make the next one look better and the next one look better.”

A grizzly bear attacked and killed a Germantown man who was hunting in Canada last week. Ken Novotny was killed Wednesday when he and his guide were attacked while hunting near the town of Norman Wells in the Northwest Territories. Novotny was hunting moose, and had just killed one, confirmed Becky Pendleton, who coaches Novotny’s daughter on the Houston High volleyball team. As Novotny was prepping the moose to be taken out of the wilderness, the bear “came out of nowhere” and struck him in the head, Pendleton said. The guide was uninjured. Novotny, who went on such hunting trips annually, was a managing director at Raymond James. Jody Callahan S H E L BY CO U N T Y

Bailey challenging Ford on commission

Shelby County Commissioner Walter Bailey challenged the authority of the commission chairman, securing the seven votes necessary to block the appointments for committee chairmen and memberships to outside boards. During the County Commission meeting Monday, Bailey said he had “policy concerns” about chairman Justin Ford’s appointments. Earlier this month Bailey, who at 74 has served 39 years on the commission, lost the battle for the chairman’s seat to Ford, 29, in a 7-5 vote. Voting with Bailey to refer the two appointment resolutions back to the general government committee were Democrats Willie Brooks, Melvin Burgess, Eddie Jones, Reginald Milton and Van Turner. They were joined by Republican Steve Basar. Linda Moore

The Parrs also plan to use 105 public parking spaces within a ive-minute walk of the facility and rent another 15 parking spaces from a nearby business. Valet parking or a shuttle service will be used for bigger events with 200 people. There will be no parking allowed on Mt. Pleasant or east of Mt. Pleasant on Natchez. The couple plan to transform the former home of Hampton Parr’s grandmother into a B&B with three rooms to rent by next summer, and specialevents venue by fall 2015. Parr’s great-great-greatgrandfather, Dr. Asa Stratton, built the home in 1859. His wife, Mary Stratton, ran a one-room school house on the property.

parks and recreation and public works, gave no indication he was leaving. “He puts his paper Patrick down and Lawton says: ‘This will make you happy now,’” Lawton recalled. Lawton said he previously asked his staf for reports on upcoming retirements and other possible staing changes. “He did not indicate that this was anywhere in the realm of possibility,” Lawton said. After Brogdon left, he said, two department heads were tasked with inishing a business plan that was Brogdon’s responsibility.

If Brogdon wins, he may resign By Jennifer Pignolet pignolet@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2372

Germantown City Administrator Patrick Lawton said he would “seriously consider resigning” if George Brogdon is elected the suburb’s mayor in November. While change in administrators is not particularly unusual when a new mayor takes oice, Lawton’s comment shed light on the friction that existed before Brogdon left in July. In a Sept. 17 interview, Lawton noted Brogdon abruptly retired from the city to run for mayor. Brogdon, who served as community services division director overseeing

George Brogdon, the recently retired director of community services for the city of Germantown, is competing against Germantown alderman and fellow mayoral candidate Mike Palazzolo.

Asked for comment Sept. 18, Brogdon declined an interview but texted a statement noting campaign signs in Lawton’s yard supporting Brogdon’s opponent, Alderman Mike Palazzolo. “However, when elected Mayor, I will assemble the best team I can ...,” the text read. He added he has “a great relationship with the employees at the City and the vast majority are professionals and care for this community.” When Brogdon worked for the city, he reported

directly to Lawton. The city charter gives the mayor the power to ire the city administrator — the elected professional who runs the city day-today — without approval from the suburb’s ive aldermen. “George’s running for oice sets up a whole new dynamic in the city,” Lawton said, adding it would be “problematic” if Brogdon, who once held the title of assistant city administrator, were elected. “If that happened, I would probably resign,” he said.

GERMANTOWN

Hopefuls Palazzolo and Brogdon vie for voters Germantown — an oice Mayor Sharon Goldsworthy has held since 1994. Goldsworthy announced in January she would not seek a sixth term. The mayor’s race is one of ive on the Nov. 4 municipal ballot. Germantown voters will also elect two aldermen and two school board members. As with any suburban race, connection with voters and name recognition are key. From his months walking the streets of Germantown, Palazzolo knows within the irst few seconds of a person com-

Mike Palazzolo has the art of door-to-door campaigning down to a science, walking through Germantown neighborhoods since March searching for support. George Brogdon, his opponent in the suburb’s mayoral race, is having to catch up in his campaigning. The former city employee couldn’t kick of his eforts until he left city government at the end of July. The two are vying for the elected leader’s role in

ing to the door if he is welcome. And when no one is home? “We tell the dog, ‘I Mike need your Palazzolo vote on November 4th,’” he said recently as he dropped his mayoral campaign literature — complete with a handwritten “sorry I missed you” sticky note — on the front stoop. Palazzolo, a three-term alderman running his irst campaign for mayor, has knocked on almost all of

the 13,500 doors in Germantown. It’s a strategy he believes helped secure his last three victories, the last one with 75 percent of the vote. Brogdon did not have the same advantage. Brogdon, who retired from the city at the end of July, was unable to campaign while an employee of the city. Brogdon must play catch-up and use diferent campaign strategies to override Palazzo’s head start. “I think that we are going to be able to catch up,” Brogdon said. “We’ve made great ground, and I’m very encouraged.”

T he Germa ntow n Community Theatre production of Stephen Sondheim’s “Company,” will mean the curtain call for a centerpiece in the facility’s space. The musical, which continues its run this weekend, is the last show on the theater’s old wooden stage. After the show’s run, crews will tear out the stage and lower it to the building’s loor. “Our set designers here on out can build platforms at whatever height they want,” GCT executive director Dr. Michael Miles says of removing the old platform. “And as a part of [this process], we’re doing a fundraiser.” The theater will repurpose the stage’s discarded wood into mountable twoand four-hook clothes hangers sold for $30 and $50 to raise money. Order forms are inserted into playbills for “Company” or available by calling the theater during normal business hours. According to Miles, the stage demolition is the irst in a series of renovations and technical improvements in the coming months. Also in the works are new signs, a remodeled lobby and rehearsal hall. Those improvements will combine with behindthe-curtain technical upgrades to give Germantown Community Theatre a new look and feel for the 2014-15 season, of which “Company” is the opening production. The changes are evident in director Teddy Eck’s ambitious staging of “Company.” First pro-

duced on Broadway in 1970 — it won six Tony Awards in 1971, including Best Musical. Taking the shape of a series of vignettes built around the 35th birthday of conirmed bachelor Bobby, the show was one of the irst to vary from a standard chronological narrative and one of the irst to treat themes of adult relationships in a serious, if comedic in tone, manner. “It has some adult moments, nothing too progressive, but we certainly wanted to put a disclaimer on all our advertisements. The language is not strong whatsoever, but there are adult themes. Bobby is a single man in New York City, and he’s experiencing that,” says Miles. To depict the show’s fractured narrative, Eck deployed a series of multimedia devices, including projection screens and a television set that interact with actors. “His vision is so ingenious,” says Miles. “He’s pulled all this together to bring classic theater created in the 1970s into the modern age and bring some technology to it that helps tell the story.”

Schools IN THE CLASSROOM HUTCHISON

Sweet lessons If Allison Booten had $1 million, she’d buy new computer carts for Dogwood Elementary School.

TEACHER SPOTLIGHT

Booten likes Dogwood’s ‘welcoming atmosphere’ ALLISON BOOTEN Dogwood Elementary, fifth grade

What do you like most about your school?

Hutchison second-graders Ellye Carpenter (from left), Caroline Campbell of Germantown and Mary Claire Cox extract honey from a honey comb they had harvested earlier.

Hutchison students receive hands-on farm experience By Steve O’Dell Special to The Weekly

Hutchison girls are exploring the connection between pollination and food production with some very hands-on experiences. The Hutchison Farm, a two-acre working garden, orchard and apiary located on campus, provides girls with valuable resources to study the environment and conservation. At the start of this school year, second graders are discussing the symbiotic relationship between plants and bees. “We are fortunate enough to be able to observe irsthand the community of bees on campus (the “Bee Highway”),” said second grade teacher Katharine Kent. “Girls have the opportunity to appreciate nature in action. They plant seeds, watch them grow, observe the bees pollinating and collecting pollen to make honey (they go from seed to honey).”

Recently, second and third grade girls opened one of the Hutchison hives to observe a working hive in full production. From removing frames illed with honey combs to honey extraction, girls discovered the bounty of this important aspect in nature. “The tireless work of the bees not only means that we are able to enjoy honey (their food), but also to enjoy countless fruits and lowers. Their declining population reminds us that we need to become more cognizant of how our actions may impact their survival, and in turn our own health,” said school horticulturist Meggan Meakin. More than lowers and honey, these young ecologists are discovering other pathways to improve the earth and how they impact the lives of creatures both large and small. “I hope the girls gain a greater understanding and appreciation for bees and their intricate community within the hive. It is also important to

shed light on the fact that the health of the bees has a tremendous impact on the health of the animal/human community,” she added. To better understand the work of bees, second-graders will be drawing, writing, and understanding the unique characteristics and diferent jobs of bees. Incorporated in this study of bees, second grade will embark on an interesting engineering project. The girls will be building a hand pollinator to simulate the work of bees. From Early Childhood to Upper School, interdisciplinary units in all curricula areas combine student-engaged learning with hands-on experiments in science to foster an early love of science. Hutchison is an independent collegepreparatory school for girls from prekindergarten through twelfth grade. Steve O’Dell is the community relations director at Hutchison.

BEST REFLECTION The Dyer's Way Did you know that the irst burgers were fried in skillets? The story of Dyers actually begins way back in the late 1800's when the "Dyer" family became well known for their delicious and uniquely lavored meals. Elmer Dyer, who later became known as "Doc" because of his family's secret ageless grease, heard of something called a hamburger. In 1912, he decided to use his family's secret and this hamburger cooked in Skillets to open a cafe. In 1935, an original employee named Kahn Aaron bought the cafe and continued this method we still use today. This tradition of cooking burgers, which is strained, sauteed, and lavored daily, produces the juiciest burger anywhere in the world. We hope you have enjoyed the Dyer's way as you have now become part of it's unique history.

GIVING BACK

Decade brings laser focus

STEP UP for Down syndrome Oct. 19 By Jeremy C. Park Special to The Weekly

Part of developing a vibrant community is ensuring that citizens feel accepted and valued for who they are, including their unique beliefs, personalities, skill sets, and aspirations. The Down Syndrome Association of Memphis and the MidSouth is championing these exact tenets for an embracive society while focusing on those who were born with something extra: an extra DNA chromosome 21. The Down Syndrome Association of Memphis and the Mid-South is a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting and empowering individuals with Down syndrome and their families. Down syndrome is a genetic condition that occurs when there are three, rather than the usual two, copies of chromosome 21 in every cell of the body. So, instead of 46 chromosomes, a person with Down syndrome has 47. Individuals with Down syndrome experience cognitive delays, but the efect is usually mild to moderate and deinitely not indicative of the many strengths and talents that each possess. There are approximately 1,800 individuals in the Mid-South living with Down syndrome. The Association wants to make sure these individuals are included and embraced within their schools and workplaces, their families, and our community, at large. This process of inclusion begins as we all become more educated

By Dr. Rolando Toyos, MD In My Own Words

Lasik, put simply, is the use of lasers to change the shape of the cornea to attain freedom from glasses and contacts. It’s a wellknown procedure. #Lasik tweets dominate the social media world. But when Dr. Kerry Assil did my Lasik procedure 14 years ago, the technology was very different from what we have today. Back then, the primary incision to perform the procedure was completed with a blade, and the laser that changed the shape of the cornea was in its infancy. We have seen major advancements in technology and techniques since that time. By 2007, most surgeons had abandoned the blade and incorporated a laser to complete the primary incision. Studies have shown that laser incisions are more precise and safer than a blade. The lasers used to reshape the cornea also improved. We had procedures during that time such as CustomCornea, 3D Lasik, and iLasik. What is interesting is at that time the irst iPhone from Apple, which offered 2G capabilities, was introduced. Now, in 2014, we have the iPhone 5 and Google Glass. What do we have in 2014 for Lasik? Toyos Clinic introduced the Wavelight Refractive Suite to Tennessee in 2014

The Germantown Area Chamber of Commerce recently held a ribbon cutting in celebration of Toyos Clinic’s membership and its new location at 1365 S. Germantown Road in Germantown. Dr. Rolando Toyos had the honor of cutting the ribbon.

MATT WOO/THE WEEKLY

Toyos, with wife Melissa, has been at the forefront of improving laser eye surgery, introducing Tennessee to the Wavelight Refractive Suite and developing technology to treat dry eye.

becoming the first and only practice in the state with this advanced technology. The Wavelight uses the FS200 laser to perform the primary incision, which incorporates safety features to ensure that flaps are correctly performed each time with less pressure on the eye and more comfort. The EX500 laser is used to reshape the cornea and has the widest range of treatment approved by the FDA. It also has eyetracking technology that is 10 times faster than any other laser, ensuring that the patient’s eye movements during treatment do not afect outcomes. The EX500 also has perfect

pulse technology to deliver accurate energy each time to the cornea. Finally, the Wavelight Refractive Suite is interconnected with a master computer allowing the whole system to communicate, decreasing human error and ensuring proper treatment. Precision technology without proper screening and evaluation can afect results. At Toyos Clinic, each potential Lasik patient goes through vigorous evaluation for corneal health and dry eye. If patients have dry eye, we have the ability to treat with technology that I have developed and that is used by several prestigious academic institutions such as

the Mayo Clinic, Stanford, Duke and Johns Hopkins to name a few. The Toyos Dry Eye Treatment won an award from the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery and is only available in Tennessee at our clinic. We also utilize many technologies including the Pentacam, the gold standard for corneal topography, to assess if a patient’s cornea can safely undergo Lasik. We have the new Wavelight lasers and a new facility to showcase the procedure. We moved into a newer and larger building at 1365 South Germantown Road, across the street from Campbell Clinic. This renovated structure has a state of the art Lasik Suite that controls temperature, airlow, humidity and is designed with new materials to increase sterility. I invite you to come see our new laser and facility, schedule a free Lasik consultation and enjoy some cofee in our Starbucks café. It is an exciting time and I am in awe how far we have come since I started performing Lasik in 1996. For more information, visit refractivesuite.com.

see Region spoke on behalf of the bank. The main speaker was Jason Little, CEO Baptist Memorial Health Care. Cindy Udell with APG Oice Furnishings was recognized as the Ambassador of the Month for August.

c FedEx Corp. is ramping up for another holiday peak shipping season and doubling down on ,seasonal employees to make sure packages get delivered on time. The Memphis-based delivery giant said last Wednesday it expects to add 50,000 seasonal workers nationwide this fall and convert a majority of them into permanent employees. Last peak season, when the company moved 22 million packages on Cyber Monday, Dec. 2., the compa-

ny added about 40,000 extra helpers at its operations throughout the nation. FedEx officials discussed peak-season preparations during an earnings call in which the company reported higher than expected earnings for the June-August quarter. “We’re expecting another record peak season in terms of delivery volume,” said Mike Glenn, executive vice president of market development and corporate communications. “Peak season will again be compressed this year with Cyber Monday falling on Dec. 1. We’ve been

in active dialogue with our retail and e-tail customers all year to understand their peak shipping needs and plan our operations accordingly.” FedEx revealed part of its game plan a day after rival United Parcel Service said it would hire up to 95,000 seasonal workers, up 10,000 from last year, when UPS had problems keeping up with package volumes and took a beating from irate customers. Company oicials anticipate adding about 150 employees in the Mississippi Valley region that includes Memphis, FedEx spokesman Scott Fiedler said.

Bruce Hopkins, president West Tennessee Region for First Tennessee, was one of the guest speakers.

Amy Barringer, chairman of the Germantown Area Chamber of Commerce chamber board, Jason Little and Janie Day, executive director of the chamber, attended the September luncheon.

GERMANTOWN

Five area churches join ‘Labor of Love’ By Patsy Keith Special to The Weekly

St. George’s Episcopal Church parishioners Jim McLaughlin (left), Grant Sperry, Henry Stokes and Eve Graue unpack a storage container of “gently-used” items for the church’s annual Rummage Sale and Clothing Drive. The Parish Hall and Activity Center is filled with furniture, décor accessories, bed, bath and kitchen linens, dishes, kitchen appliances, electronics and more for Saturday’s sale from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m.

A farewell party was held for Jean Wiseman (front left), longtime member of Farmington Presbyterian Church and participant in the Chancel Choir, at the Germantown home of Jerry and Ellen Renfrow. Included in the gathering was special guest Kallen Esperian (right), who did an a cappella rendition of “Somewhere Over the Rainbow,” and Rebecca Bourgeois (back) and Charles Billings.

Five Germa ntown churches representing ive diferent denominations joined together Sept 1 for a Labor Day “Labor of Love.” Each labor of love was ailiated with MIFA and included various service projects for sharing with the larger Memphis community. The day began with a brief relection and prayer service at St. George’s Episcopal at 8 a.m. “This service was a really important part of the day to help us understand what we were doing and why,” said the Rev. Dorothy Sanders Wells, rector at St. George’s Episcopal Church. Wells was the lead pastor in bringing about “Labor of Love.” Members and volunteers from the ive churches were spread all over the community that day. Three yards were cleaned in the 38111 ZIP code while many meals were delivered in the 38109 ZIP code. Twelve teams delivered more than 100 shelf-stable meals to senior citizens. Three diferent groups delivered 30, 22-pound boxes of food to other seniors who could prepare meals

for themselves. Church members donated all of the emergency items for MIFA’s three different types of emergency bags and they also illed the bags. New Bethel was the packing place where members from diferent churches gathered to ill bags for persons displaced from their home, bags full of baby items, and personal care bags. After these emergency bags were illed MIFA picked them up at New Bethel so they will be available for people who come into their emergency services area. Jay Howell associate pastor at Germantown Presbyterian said, “I thought it was a wonderful time for churches to work together

in service. Often there are too many churches pointing at each other’s diferences instead of looking at the many things that should be bringing us together. Service is one of those. I was thrilled that Dorothy (Wells) across the street at St. George’s Episcopal took the ball and started it rolling. I thought it was a great irst step for these churches to work together.” The ive churches all within 1 mile of one another include St. George’s Episcopal, Germantown Presbyterian, Germantown United Methodist, New Bethel Baptist and Kingsway Christian. “The pastors from these five churches have been meeting together at least once a

month since I moved here last November to talk about shared opportunities,” said Wells. The churches used an electronic sign-up known as “sign up genius”. Wells said all of the 164 volunteer slots were illed. “We had enough people to do everything,” said Wells. “I think the people enjoyed the fellowship as well as the projects. There was satisfaction in knowing they had gone out into the community and done something good for other people.” “This was such a wonderful day, and I was so proud to be a part of it,” said St. George’s member Nancy Ligon. “I looked around me and observed that ‘It was good!’ ”

GERMANTOWN CHARITY HORSE SHOW

Members donate money to Exchange Club Family Center Special to The Weekly

The Exchange Club Family Center, an area nonproit agency dedicated to ending the cycle of child abuse and domestic violence, received $44,850 from the Germantown Charity Horse Show. Held in Germantown, the annual event has supported the center for 16 years and has raised approximately $450,000 for the Center’s programs and services. This year, the Germantown Charity Horse Show made a $22,500 donation to the Center, which was in addition to the $22,350 the Center’s staf and volunteers raised through program ad sales during the horse show. “We are continuously amazed by the generosity of the Germantown Charity Horse Show,” said Barbara King, executive director for the Center. “The support they’ve

given us through the years has helped provide counseling and other services for children who have been abused or forced to witness violence in their homes. We are extremely grateful for this partnership and the impact it has on the children in our community.” The Germantown Charity Horse Show is a unique and upscale equestrian competitive event held annually in June, drawing thousands of participants and spectators from all over the region. The iveday show features several horse varieties, including Tennessee walking horses, harness ponies, saddle horses, gaited horses and hunter jumpers. As the oicial charity for the show, the Exchange Club Family Center produces the printed program, which the Center’s volunteers sell throughout the event. Proceeds from the sale of the program, as

well as money collected from poster sales and the silent auction art sale, are then donated to the Center. “The Germantown Charity Horse Show believes in strong community support by providing a family-friendly environment,” said Jimmy Chancellor, president of the Germantown Charity Horse Show. “The Exchange Club Family Center plays a vital role in our community by helping children and parents during times of crisis and great need. We truly appreciate their eforts. It’s a privilege that our organizations work so well together and have helped each other grow. We ask that the community continue supporting this worthy cause by attending the upcoming Germantown Charity Horse Show in 2015, set for June 2-6.” For more information about the show, visit gchs.org.

Prep Sports HOUSTON 46, GERMANTOWN 21

Mustangs’ ground attack leads to win Houston rushes for 472 yards in victory over rival Germantown By Bill Sorrell Special to The Weekly

Houston running back Colby Cartwright wanted to spread the love four ways after the Mustangs’ 46-21 district victory over Germantown last Friday at Houston High School. “Me being a senior, I definitely love running with my senior boys. It’s an honor and a blessing to play with the guys I have grown up with,” said Cartwright, who took away a memory-making game. “I loved my senior game with Germantown. It’s awesome to beat them by 20 points or more. It was fun. It is something that I will remember forever. “I love running with my little brother (Seth Cartwright). I can’t explain what it’s like. It is a brotherhood within a brotherhood on a team. It means something more.” Colby Cartwright also loves his ofensive line of Clark Anderson, Sam Meagher, Matthew Taylor, Tim Belles, Mason Piper and Benny Carroll. “I wouldn’t be anywhere without my ofensive line. The line is everything. I am nothing. Coach (Eric) Crigler (offensive line coach) calls the right plays at the right times and it deinitely worked out tonight,” he said. A workhorse, Cartwright ran for 145 yards and scored an 11-yard third quarter touchdown and Seth Cartwright, a sophomore, rushed for

76 yards and scored two touchdowns as the Mustangs improved to 5-0 overall and 2-0 in District 15-AAA. The Cartwright brothers were not alone. Houston running back Chase Moss-Pioreck gained 155 of Houston’s 472 rushing yards, including a 77-yard run in the third quarter that set up a 10-yard touchdown by senior quarterback Jared Schmidt and a 40-7 Mustang lead. Houston’s defense did not allow Germantown (0-5, 0-2) a irst down until the third quarter. “Defensively, we just played great,” said Houston coach Will Hudgens. Hudgens credited Reid Ostrom, Aryton Scafer and Zach Childress for solid play. “The secondary did a great job. We talk all the time about doing your job and trust the guy next to you to do his. It was an allaround great efort.” Turning points: Schmidt’s 32-yard touchdown run in the irst quarter and Jacob Painter’s PAT put Houston

ahead 7-0. On the next possession, Red Devils quarterback Jacob Ivy, who inished with 122 passing yards, threw a 70-yard touchdown pass to Drew White, a senior split end who is a cousin of Germantown coach Charlie White. “They answered our touchdown at the beginning and we knew that this was not going to be a pushover,” said Schmidt, who capped a 68-yard yard drive with a 2-yard touchdown run that gave the Mustangs a lead they would never lose. After Germantown’s touchdown, “we corrected a little communication issue and they came out and played. I loved the intensity they played with,” said Hudgens. After Schmidt’s 23-yard touchdown pass to MossPioreck for a 20-7 halftime lead, the Mustangs opened the third quarter with an onside kick. Donavan Wallace recovered at the Devils’ 39-yard line. Colby Cartwright scored six plays later, giving Houston a 27-7 lead. “We could handle being two scores down but that onside kick they recovered took the wind out of our sails,” said Charlie White. Then three straight touchdowns, two by Seth Cartwright, a 12-yard run and a 13-yarder that was his seventh touchdown of the season, and the 10-yard run by Schmidt, his third of the game, expanded Houston’s lead to 46-7. Seth Cartwright’s running style difers than his brother’s said Colby Cartwright. “I am a kind of runup-the-middle-and-hit

people. He kind of shakes and bakes.” Said Seth Cartwright, “It feels great getting into the end zone, and oh, it is even better with my brother. Brotherly love, there is nothing better. I look up to him.” Germantown got into the end zone twice in the fourth quarter. Rodney Williams scored on a 29yard pass from Ivy and Evan Hoover ran 68 yards for a touchdown with 1:09 left. Star turns: Playing on an injured ankle, Foreman had an exceptional kicking

game — three extra points and on-the-money punting for Germantown, and was praised by White. Hoover, cornerback Marckiese Thomas and split end/defender Ken Wilson each had signiicant games said White. One of the goals for Schmidt, who rushed for 94 yards and passed for 63, is to set the Houston record for passing yards he said. He has been quarterback for 17 games. “He is the ultimate competitor,” said Hudgens. “He is a warrior.” Schmidt somersaulted over an alu-

minum bench after being pushed out of bounds. He then led the Mustangs to their third touchdown. Talking points: Germantown’s 0-5 start is the worst in 12 years that White has been head coach and in his 33-year coaching career he said. The Red Devils must work on “blocking on ofense” and the defense “must make stops,” said White. “They kept ighting. The worst part of any battle is when you give up. That is when you do not have a chance.” Houston started 6-0 last season.

SCHOOL SPIRIT SHOWDOWN

Bears defense keys win over Jaguars

Second round of voting continues

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

Here’s a scary thought for the rest of the teams on Trezevant’s football schedule. The Bears have yet to play their best. Trezevant, ranked fifth in The Commercial Appeal’s Dandy Dozen, improved to 4-1 with a rock-solid 42-6 victory last Friday over host Southwind. “We’ve yet to play a complete game mentally,” said Bears coach Teli White. “We still need to play better.” Star turns: Trezevant senior running back Jamal Jones showed why he’s ranked as one of the top prospects in the area. After the Bears recovered a fumble on the Southwind 3-yard line, the 5-9, 205-pounder punched it in on the next play to give his team a 14-0 lead late in the

first quarter. Early in the second quarter, he went 48 yards for another touchdown after Trezevant forced Southwind to turn it over on downs. He added a 4-yard scoring run just before halftime that gave the Bears a 28-0 lead at the break. For good measure, he added a second-quarter interception. “When you get that threeheaded monster (Jones, quarterback Jordan Spencer and running back George Monson) all playing well together, that’s big,” White said. “We’ll be a 10-time better team if we just play together. That’s the kind of mentality we have to have.” Talking point: As usual for the Bears, their undersized defense played well. Trezevant entered the game leading the area in total defense, allowing just 45 yards per contest. “It’s about character,”

The Commercial Appeal

Southwind’s Tyler Brewer (right) attempts to elude the grasp of Trezevant’s Torrey Mabone. The Bears defense entered the game allowing only 45 yards a game and came up big again in last Friday night’s 42-6 win over the host Jaguars.

White said. “When you’re not the biggest, it comes down to character.” Trezevant forced four turnovers, three of which set up touchdowns. Extra points: Torrey Mabone made the defensive play of the game, batting the ball out of Southwind QB Kameron Williams’ hand and making the recovery himself on the Jaguars 22 to set up Jones’ third score. ... Trezevant offensive lineman Lavonte Jones left the stadium in an ambulance with his arm in a splint after being injured on

the first series of the game. Later, the Bears’ Gabriel Scott left with bruised ribs. ... Southwind (2-3) avoided the shutout when Williams hit Clyde Tyson with a 66-yard pass in the third. The play ended a streak of 10 consecutive quarters in which the Bears hadn’t allowed a point. What’s next: Trezevant returns to District 16-AA action Friday, taking on Douglass at Fairgrounds Stadium. Southwind will be this week before returning to 15-AAA play at undefeated Houston on Oct. 3.

Voting continues in round two of the School Spirit Showdown. Sixteen second-round matchups have produced some too-close-to-call races in our contest to find the Memphis-area school with the most spirit. Second-round voting will continue until 10 a.m. Friday at commercialappeal.com/ spirit. There are five matchups in which schools have a 1 percent lead: Germantown over Ridgeway, Central over Cordova, St. Mary’s over Briarcrest Christian, MUS over Harding and Booker T. Washington over Northside. Other second-round matchups are: Kirby vs. White Station, Bolton vs. Whitehaven, Houston vs. Bartlett, Collierville vs. Arlington, DeSoto Central vs. Olive Branch, Horn Lake vs. Southaven, FACS vs. CBHS, Lausanne vs. Tipton-Rosemark Academy, MLK Prep vs. Raleigh-Egypt, Manassas vs. Trezevant, and Craigmont vs. Fairley. The contest, sponsored by Performance Toyota, will continue round by round until the Nov. 7 announcement of our winner. The winning school will receive $3,000 for its athletic fund. Also, one voter will win a $50 Kroger gift card for each voting period.

HEADY DAYS Tigers, Ole Miss, Bulldogs in rare air relishing football frenzy By Zack McMillin ZMcMillin@commercialappeal.com 901-300-9225

et’s just put it right out there, shall we? For the state of Mississippi’s Southeastern Conference football teams, these are the absolute best of times. With Memphis headed to the state for a game Saturday much more intriguing than it looked in preseason, it’s worth stopping to consider the many ways in which, for Ole Miss and Mississippi State, college football has never been better or more compelling. ■ With Mississippi State crashing into the rankings at No. 14 coming of Saturday’s impressive win at LSU and Ole Miss now ranked No. 10 (coming of a bye week), it’s the highest the Bulldogs and Rebels have been ranked at the same time by The Associated Press during the modern era (deined as postsegregation), according to the listings compiled by the website sports-reference.com. It is in fact rare for both teams to be ranked together at all in the AP poll — in the modern era, it’s only happened in two seasons, 1992 and 1999. ■ On Saturday, Ole Miss hosts a rejuvenated Memphis program — the Tigers have scored 144 points in their three games and gotten two touchdowns on defense. It’ll be the irst time regional rivals have played a game in Oxford with Ole Miss ranked since before integration (the Rebels were the preseason No. 1 in 1964). ■ The following Saturday, on Oct. 4, sees Ole Miss hosting No. 3 Alabama in Oxford while MSU, after taking a week of, will host No. 6 Texas A&M in Starkville. And then on Oct. 11, MSU gets No. 5 Auburn while Ole Miss goes to Texas A&M.

CATASTROPHIC SUCCESS The term former secretary of defense Donald Rumsfeld once famously coined — “catastrophic success” — came to mind last Saturday during the irst quarter of the University of Memphis’ impressive dismantling of what is expected to be a good Conference USA team, Middle Tennessee State. I was among those stuck in the long lines at the scant few ticket windows at the Liberty Bowl just before kickof. My son and a friend decided the day of the game they wanted to go, and we didn’t get to the ticket windows until about 5:50 p.m., 10 minutes before kickof. Many people got there about the same time, some of whom had been tailgating and, like us, had assumed there would be the usual numbers of the “got a ticket? need a ticket?” street brokers ofering tickets. But in our walk from Tobey Field to the east entrance, I saw exactly one broker asking “need a ticket?” and at least a dozen asking, “got a ticket?” In all, we were in line for about an hour before getting into the stadium — a few minutes had already elapsed in the second quarter. And then the lines at most concession stands were snarled, and the oicial announced attendance of 46,378 was about 13,000 shy of a sellout. As more than a few people on Twitter pointed out, it would have been wise to have just bought print-at-home tickets. Even the U of M’s Twitter feed ofered me and the many hundreds of others in line that piece of, at the time, unusable advice (I tried to use my phone to buy tickets but the data

The next three weeks in Mississippi will be unlike any stretch in the history of college football in the state. Mississippi State and QB Dak Prescott (top) came up with an upset over LSU and a hot Memphis team (bottom, left) with QB Paxton Lynch is scheduled to play a ranked Ole Miss and QB Bo Wallace in Oxford. In addition, Ole Miss and Mississippi State, who have never been ranked this high in the polls at the same time, will be hosting power schools Texas A&M, Auburn and Alabama.

stream was clogged by crowds and there was no Wi-Fi on ofer). Like many in the various lines, it seemed to me a mostly amusing, even welcome turn of events — this Tiger football team, coming of the ultracompetent opener over Austin Peay and close loss at UCLA, had created more demand than the U of M or the city (which runs the Liberty Bowl) could keep up with. U of M deputy athletic director Wren Baker said the U of M accepts responsibility for the gameday ticket debacle — he said they may add kiosks for future games. As for Liberty Bowl concessions, that breakdown falls on the city and those who contract to sell the food and drink.

The good news is the U of M and the city have plenty of time to get things right by the next home game, Oct. 10 vs. Houston. The bad news — back-to-back road games at Ole Miss and Cincinnati could hurt the momentum Memphis built in the irst three games.

HOGS, VOLS ALSO INTRIGUE The Northern Illinois team Arkansas blitzkrieged, 52-14, was no slouch — the Huskies went undefeated last season. Still, it remains possible the Hogs are running up gaudy stats (Alex Collins and Jonathan Williams averaging more than 8 yards per carry) by catching outmanned nonconference opponents in down years. We’ll certainly

have a clearer picture after Saturday, when ground-and-pound Arkansas confronts Texas A&M’s air attack, led by Kenny Hill, at the Cowboys AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Tennessee appeared to enjoy a hugely positive of week, with that 34-10 loss at Oklahoma embraced by coach Butch Jones and the fan base as an example of how much this team will ight. Jones even talked about one day looking back at that game as an important moment in the program’s development. Even more important, though, comes this week vs. Georgia — a team the Vols nearly defeated last season, although the Bulldogs’ star running back Todd Gurley did not play in that game.

MEMPHIS VS. OLE MISS

Tigers preparing for ‘incredibly talented’ Rebel squad By Phil Stukenborg stukenborg@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2543

Justin Fuente sounds as if not even Ole Miss’ No. 10 national ranking does the Rebels justice. Fuente, the University of Memphis football coach, spoke at Monday’s weekly media luncheon on the U of M campus and extolled the virtues of an Ole Miss team seeking its irst 4-0 start since 1970. “We have an incredible challenge this week,” Fuente said. “They are an incredibly talented football team on both sides of the ball. They’ve got playmakers up and down their roster.” Memphis, at 2-1, is of to its best start in 10 years when it opened the season with a victory at Ole Miss and inished 8-4. The Tigers and Rebels are meeting for the irst time since 2009. The Rebels have Fuente and his staf’s attention af-

ter opening with lopsided wins over Boise State, Vanderbilt and Louisiana Lafayette. Ole Miss has outscored its last two opponents 97-18. Fuente said from his evaluation of the Rebels, their No. 1 defensive unit has given up fewer than 10 points in three games. “Defensively, they are an incredibly aggressive group that has a great mix of older and younger kids,” Fuente said. “They are playing at a really high level right now. You can see the diference between them from last year to this year. It’s a visible diference.”

Tiger starting strongside linebacker Wynton McManis, who had a career-high eight tackles against Middle Tennessee on Saturday, said the game against the Rebels will have the Tigers “on another big stage” following the U of M’s game at 11th-ranked UCLA three weeks ago. “We will have to limit our mistakes,” he said. The Ole Miss defense leads the nation with eight interceptions. Cornerback Senquez Golson leads the Southeastern Conference with three picks, one he returned for a touchdown. Ofensively, Fuente said the Rebels are “fast-paced with great skill kids and a quarterback (Bo Wallace) who has done a great job distributing the ball.” Wallace leads the nation in completion percentage (75.5) and ranks fifth in pass efficiency (190.0). He passed for 316 yards and four touchdowns in the Rebels’ 56-

15 win over Louisiana Lafayette two weeks ago. Ole Miss did not play last weekend. “We’ll need a great week of preparation — mentally, physically and emotionally — in order to go down there and give it a shot,” Fuente said. Or, in other words, a performance along the lines of their efort last weekend against Middle Tennessee before 46,000 at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium. The Tigers overpowered Middle Tennessee, 36-17, to snap a threegame losing streak to the Blue Raiders. The Tigers amassed at least 480 yards for the third straight game and had two running backs — Doroland Dorceus and Brandon Hayes — rush for at least 90 yards. Defensively, they held MTSU nearly 200 yards below its average. “After looking at the film and meeting with the (players) I’m awfully proud of a lot of things we

ACHIEVEMENT

Ridgeway’s Murdock commits to play football at SE Missouri By John Varlas varlas@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2350

Last week was a pretty memorable one for Marquette Murdock. Last Friday, the standout senior tight end helped Ridgeway defeat defending 5A state champion Henry County, 22-15, to improve to 3-0. And now he’s decided where he’ll play his college football. Murdock confirmed to The Commercial Appeal last Tuesday that he has committed to play at Southeast Missouri. Verbal commitments are nonbinding but Murdock is expected to make it oficial on National Signing Day in early February. “I just wanted to lock up my education,” said Murdock. “When the head coach (Tom Matukewicz) keeps calling you, letting you know that he needs you ... it shows that he truly cares.” Murdock is the fourth member of Ridgeway’s talented senior class to commit, joining running back Earl Harrison and defensive tackle Elontae Bateman (both Arkansas State) and wide receiver Katavious Taylor. He’ll also join a growing Memphis contingent at SEMO; former Briarcrest star Hunter Bledsoe is starting

at linebacker as a true freshman and Murdock says he’s looking forward to teaming Marquette with former Murdock Houston tight end Gavin McCrary. “I think we can be unstoppable,” he said. At 6-2 and 225, with good speed and great hands, Murdock could be considered a steal for a school like SEMO. But the player said loyalty goes a long way and that he doesn’t think he’ll be swayed if larger programs come in to the picture later. “My things is, why would you want me now when you didn’t want me before,” he said. “A wise man told me to go to a place where you’ll be wanted, not a place where they sign you just to ill up the numbers.”

CBHS BASEBALL STAR CHANGES MIND Christian Brothers pitcher James Muse should have been thrilled when he verbally committed to the University of Tennessee over the summer. Instead, he was illed with doubt. “I feel like I rushed my commitment,” he said. “I didn’t feel good about it. And I thought the feel-

ing would get better but it never did.” Muse feels better now; after de-committing from the Vols the 6-3, 210-pound right-hander said he’ll sign with the University of Memphis. “Nothing against (UT) coach (Dave) Serrano,” he said. “I just felt more comfortable with coach Rock (Tiger head coach Daron Schoenrock), coach (Clay) Greene and (pitching coach Russ) McNickle. “I prayed about the decision and when I called coach Rock he welcomed me with open arms. It felt like a 1,000-pound weight had been lifted off my chest.” Muse joins a talented local class of 2015 that has already committed to the Tigers, one that also includes Colton Neel of MUS, Collierville’s Alex Hicks and his CBHS teammate, Colin Kilgore.

Once Byron Harris gets started, it’s hard to stop listing the current high school football standouts who have come through his program at Bellevue Middle School. “Deddrick Thomas from Central, Johnathan Johnson from Melrose,” he said. “Kerrick Jones and Donte Vaughn from Whitehaven. Eddie Lee from Central. DeVante Turner and Jesse Brookins from East. “There have been a lot of players.” If you’re keeping score, that list of Bellevue alumni includes a Mississippi State commitment (Thomas), the city’s leading wide receiver (Johnson), two of the top players on the fourth-ranked 6A team in the state (Jones and Vaughn) and one of the area’s leading running backs and touchdown scorers (Turner). It’s a distinguished list and one that Harris is rightfully proud of. And the pipeline doesn’t look like it will be drying up any time soon. The Bobcats improved to 6-0 with a 12-7 victory over Hickory Ridge Middle on Sept. 17. It’s that kind of success that has helped Harris and his staf develop such successful players. “We’ve had a winning program here and kids want to be a part of that,” said Harris, in his sixth season at Bellevue after spending 10 at John P. Freeman. “We still struggle, though. A lot of times

we’ll walk over to Central (Crump Stadium) to practice and we’ll have to share the ield with their band or their soccer team. And our ield’s full of dirt and rocks. ... “But we’ve just got kids that want to play football. And our principal, Kevin Malone, is a sports guy. It’s important to him and the support we get from the administration has really helped us be successful.” Said lineman Omari Thompson, “We’ve got a good coaching staf and they push us hard, not just in the ield but in the classroom.” Thompson, a 5-11, 230-pound seventh-grader, is one of the Bobcats to keep an eye on, along with classmates Darian Turner, a wide receivercornerback and quarterback Keyshawn Harris, the coach’s son. But the biggest name is defensive end Trevis Hopper. An eighth-grader who won’t turn 14 until next month, Hopper is already 6-2 and 230 pounds. And if you haven’t heard his name, rest assured the high school coaches in the area have. “We’ve had a couple of private schools already come here to look at him,” said Harris. A Whitehaven graduate, Harris said he hears the talk around town, that he funnels his best players to his alma mater. But he insists he just wants the best for promising players like Hopper. “It does bother me,” Harris said. “That’s the word, that I push my kids to Whitehaven. But we

have kids at Westwood, Central, East, Ridgeway ... “I just push them to go to an environment that’s best for them, athletically and academically.”

KENLEY TO ARKANSAS The 2017 college baseball season is a long way away. But Houston High standout Jack Kenley has no doubt about where he’ll be. “Arkansas,” he said. “No question.” Kenley, the Mustangs’ talented junior inielder, verbally committed to the Razorbacks recently. Samford, where Houston teammates Jack Rude and Jake Greer are headed, and Belmont were also in the mix, but the chance to play in the SEC was too good to pass up. “It’s a little daunting,” he said of competing in the SEC. “But it’s also the biggest motivator. (Head) coach (Dave) Van Horn and (assistant coach Tony) Vitello are both very solid guys, high character guys. They plan on working in the freshmen as early as possible. “And (Fayetteville) is just a gorgeous area.” The 6-0, 165-pound Kenley said he’ll likely focus on shortstop at the next level. He’s played everywhere in the inield except irst for Houston and was a key contributor on last year’s team that advanced to the AAA state championship game before losing to Farragut to inish 34-10.

Sports ‘100 YEARS OF HAYWOOD TOMCAT FOOTBALL’

Football way of life

Stories are the “flavor” of the 472-page, 5-pound book “100 Years of Haywood Football” by Brownsville dentist and 1969 Haywood graduate Robert Rooks.

Book chronicles high school sport’s place in Brownsville story By Bill Sorrell Special to The Commercial Appeal

BROWNSVILLE, Tenn. — During the glory days of Haywood County High School football when the Tomcats were winning 83 percent of their games under coach John Hooper, opponents often got of track, especially in Brownsville where the stadium is situated by a railroad. After a 62-0 loss to Haywood in 1957, Milan coach Will Medling said, “When we kicked of to Brownsville, I heard the whistle on the train coming down the tracks. By the time the caboose came through we were trailing 42-0.” Stories are the “lavor” of the 472-page, 5-pound book “100 Years of Haywood Tomcat Football,” written by Brownsville dentist Robert Rooks, a 1969 Haywood graduate and a captain of the 1968 team. The play-by-play announcer for the Tomcats since 1986, Rooks worked for three years on the book, which has 375 photos. “Football has been the glue that has kept us together,” Rooks said. “You don’t ask somebody in Brownsville what you are doing on Friday night, everybody asked what time you were leaving,” said Rooks. “You literally could roll up the sidewalks and if the town caught ire during an away game, the town would burn down because everybody was gone. All the years I heard the stories and heard people talk about football and how important it was to our way of life.” The Tomcats’ quarterback from 1968-70 and now director of player personnel for Mississippi State’s football program, Rockey Felker called Brownsville a “ghost town” during an away game. “It could not have been a better place to grow up and play high school football. It is what you dream of growing up. The community was very much involved in supporting the team. Friday nights were special.” Said Brownsville publisher Carlton Veirs, “It’s like Friday night lights in small-town America. It was a rallying cry for the community. We were vicariously living through the football team. We were able to wave the lag about Tomcat football.” During the Hooper years from 1955-70, the Tomcats had the only undefeated seasons in school history, 1957, 1961, 1968 and 1969. They had winning streaks of 29 games (196870) and 23 games (1960-62), were Associated Press state champions in 1969 and won their irst Big Ten Conference championship in 1957. For 15 consecutive years (1957-71), Haywood was ranked in the top 10 by wire service polls. “During his day in Brownsville, there were none better,” said Rooks of Hooper. “He was just so focused, so talented. He lived and breathed football 365 days a year.” Rooks said the book is also a chronicle of West Tennessee history, because the school’s identity never changed. “We remained Haywood County High School. We remained Tomcats. We kept purple and white. This book is for all the 100 years that people invested their time and energy just not the players, coaches (but) the cheerleaders, managers, band members. We did it together. I want to preserve the history of how great this town has been in this sport,” he said. Rooks writes about Haywood playing Jackson High School in a spring scrimmage at Rothrock Stadium in Jackson in 1951. Players were muttering how the Golden Bears were going to “kill them.” When they noticed 3-by-4 feet deep irrigation trenches dug around the ield, one player said, “You see, they are going to kill us and they’ve already

dug our graves!” Against the 3-0 Humboldt Rams in 1968, Haywood AllAmerican running back Steve Stoots scored five touchdowns in a 44-0 rout. Humboldt coach Jim Poteete said afterward, “I’m tired of seeing Stoots. Every time I turn around there would be ive players escorting him to the end zone for another touchdown: three from Haywood and two from Humboldt.” Stoots, to whom the book is dedicated, died in 2010. The only school in Tennessee with the nickname Tomcats, they were irst called that in 1920, shortened from Thomas Cats. They had multiple players whose last name was Thomas. In 1920, Haywood traveled in T-models to the Mississippi River at Golddust, Tennessee, to take the ferry to play Osceola, Arkansas. It was illegal to cross the river at night, players had to stay overnight and return the next day. They were prepared to stay on the river bank when a local resident offered the 16 players one room in his cabin.

“That is what life is all about. If you have got God, you have got everything you need,” said Rooks, 63. Former Presbyterian pastor in Brownsville, Rev. Will Jones, who now pastors Germantown Presbyterian Church, said, “Robert has a delightful sense of humor that is aided by his faith.” Rooks was nurtured in his faith by his parents Ned and Eleanor Rooks. His father played on Brownsville’s 1941 team that was undefeated until the conference championship game. His grandmother Williard Knee, would read the Bible and help him memorize scripture. Strong faith-based churches and strong families “were a big part of the Christian climate in Brownsville,” said Felker, who was head coach at Mississippi State from 1986-90 and the 1974 SEC Player of the Year when he quarterbacked there. “There were very committed families that believed in God and were committed to building a strong family based on Christian principles.” Said Jerry Simmons, a 1955 graduate who played tackle, “Our faith in the Lord and savior Jesus is strong.” Haywood County commissioner Allen King, who ilmed Haywood games for 29 years, said “nothing is bigger than faith” in the community. Rooks was a part of the Tomcat teams that traditionally huddled after games and prayed the Lord’s Prayer, often led by coaches. “I don’t know what their faith journeys were,” said Rooks of past Tomcat coaches. “They set great examples. They molded us.” As did football. “You can look through the book and ind all these family names. Children and grandchildren now come up to me that didn’t know what their grandfathers did and that their grandmothers were cheerleaders.

Jumping for joy

Owen Widdis prepares to jump into the icy ocean from a rocky clif. Participants make several jumps, progressively higher up to 25 feet, after climbing the craggy clif.

Clif jumping all in a day’s fun on a family trip to Scotland By Kathy Kieliszewski

IF YOU GO

Detroit Free Press

e sat among strangers, stufed into wet suits and squeezed into a van headed toward a beach. No one was quite sure what to expect when we arrived. The website had used words like “climb,” “scramble,” “swim” and “jump.” It added: “A hair-raising and spine-tingling journey of exploration.” We were going coasteering. Never heard of coasteering? Neither had we until I started digging around the Internet as I planned our family’s summer vacation to Scotland. My husband, two boys and I would tour castles, visit tiny villages and eat haggis, but most of all we wanted to experience Scotland’s nature and geography to its fullest extent — the cloud-kissed mountains, sheep-dotted glens, legendary lochs and rugged coastline. We were headed to the western highlands near Oban, a coastal town illed with bed-and-breakfasts and seafood. Think Charlevoix, but instead of whiteish, there was haddock, and where we have Petoskey stones, they have rocky clifs. Coasteering originated in the United Kingdom and combines sea swimming, rock climbing and clif jumping. Yes, clif jumping. On the travel site TripAdvisor, I had stumbled on Stramash, an outdoor adventure company on the outskirts of Oban. They ofer a series of what they call Adventure Days that include things like sea kayaking, sailing, archery, mountaineering and coasteering. When we arrived at Stramash’s oice, we met Rob, our guide for the day. He was young, tall, muscular and built for jumping of clifs. I am over 40, mildly athletic and afraid of heights. And yet here I was in a wet suit, life jacket and helmet so I could jump of a clif. Tucked northwest of Oban is Ganavan Bay and a crescent-shaped patch of beach abutted by steep clifs. This is where we headed in that musty-smelling van. It wasn’t until I plodded into the cold ocean water that I wondered, “What was I thinking?” Thankfully, the wet suit did its job — it kept me warm from the icy ocean water. We started swimming toward the clifs. I don’t know if it was the weight of the wet suit or the buoyancy of the life jacket, but swimming was diicult. I was last to reach the clifs and completely out of breath. Again, “What was

I thinking?” My younger son stayed close to his dad, just to be safe. This was, after all, an ocean, illed with lots of unknowns, not a Michigan lake. My conident older son, a teenager, didn’t even look back to see how the rest of us were doing. Rob explained the proper way to climb. And fall. Grab hold of the black rocks, not the greenish ones, those are covered in razor sharp barnacles, and when you start to fall, push away from the rocks. As we began to climb, I said, “I’m not going to be able to do this.” Yet, I did it. I’d ind my footing and hoist myself up, around and over the rocky crags. Now it was time to jump of the clifs. There would be multiple jumps, each one higher — and harder — than the last one. You aren’t supposed to jump as much

as you are to leap. Rob demonstrated irst by striking a runner-like pose; one foot in front, one foot in back, and like a gazelle he leaped of the irst jump. Not practiced in the art of leaping, I couldn’t decide what felt natural, left foot in front and right in back or vice versa. Frankly, nothing felt natural as I stared over the clif, 10 feet above the waves. One by one, we leaped, some of us more gazelle-like than others. The next jump was about 15 feet. Boosted by the success of the last jump, I didn’t hesitate. However, the inal jump was 25 feet, almost as tall as a three-story building. My older son was the irst to go. He had been pretty brave the whole afternoon, but even he hesitated before jumping. After he emerged from the dark green water, he let out a yell and waved up at us.

oban is a small ishing village of about 8,500 people on the west coast of scotland. Unoicially known as the Gateway to the isles, it is a popular summer tourist spot with seafood restaurants serving that day’s catch, boat tours to the islands of the inner hebrides and the oban Distillery, one of scotland’s oldest whiskey distilleries and famous for its single malt 14-year-old scotch. while in oban and the western highlands, you’ll ind a bevy of bed-andbreakfasts, hotels and quaint inns to spend the night. another option is renting a self-catered cottage where linens and basic kitchen essentials are supplied, but for the most part, you are on your own when it comes to cleaning and cooking. a cottage allows a larger group to spread out and it doesn’t hurt that you can save some money on food by eating in. sites like homeaway.com and Vrbo. com list rentals of all shapes, sizes and prices. we rented a small lodge on a working farm called ballimore Farm estates about 30 minutes outside of oban. we prepared most of our own meals to save money. a long winding road, past ields of heather and thistle, takes you into the heart of the farm where we stayed, which includes a large manor house that sleeps 12, a small cottage for four and a slightly larger lodge — actually, a duplex-style building — that can sleep up to eight, depending on if you rent part or all of it. the lodge is comfortable, but not fussy and the best part is the view. the farm sits on thousands of acres of rolling hills complete with its very own ishing loch, loch tromlee. expect to wake to the sounds of bleating sheep and bellowing highland cows grazing in the ield right next to your bedroom window. we paid 428 pounds about $700 U.s. with a $100 refundable cleaning deposit and a three-night minimum for half of the lodge. but you can get in for as little as 70 pounds a night, or about $116, for this space in the of season from November through March. there are special rates during the holidays.

After one more internal pep talk, I was leaping, holding my nose, of the clif. The water comes sooner than you’d expect and the impact is harder than you’d imagine. The rush of water and sound is amazing and scary. Thanks to my life vest, I popped out of the water like a ishing bobber that just lost the catch of the day. Later in the evening we drove back to the beach as the sun was setting behind the islands out past Ganavan Bay and we walked the dry path above the ocean and clifs to where we had jumped. We took a family photo and compared battle wounds — I had scraped my face with my nails while holding my nose and the boys counted barnacle scratches. Those little scratches quickly disappeared. The sensation of hurtling seaward from a Scottish clif will last forever.

Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s face it, losing our three namesake schools has proven to be a mess. Our taxes are likely to go up and our property values are likely to go down. Because our city leaders gave up on getting Germantown Elementary, we now have a situation where that school is underutilized and Riverdale is overcrowded. And with too many students in the Germantown Municipal Schools, the city may have to spend $30 million on a new school. George Brogdon has a plan to work collaboratively with other officials â&#x20AC;&#x201C; county, state and federal â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to make our municipal schools better and to get our three schools back for the good of all of Germantown. He shares your concerns about the negative impact losing Germantown Elementary, Germantown Middle and Germantown High is having on the entire city. For families, for seniors, for everyone, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to get serious about all our schools. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to elect George Brodgon â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the serious choice for mayor.

Mr. & Mrs. Senior American crowned Special to The Weekly

MARGARET KARCH ZAIMES/AMERICAN RED CROSS

Elizabeth Black of Germantown often sketched as many as 12 soldiers a day. Soldiers entered a lottery to be selected as subjects. On Saturday, a special documentary about Black will be held at the Morton Museum at 2 p.m.

COLLIERVILLE

Morton Museum to host Elizabeth Black event Special to The Weekly

As a child, Germantown resident John Black remembers hearing his motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s World War II stories about her wartime experiences, but they seemed part of a distant past. Elizabeth Black was a rising Pittsburgh portrait artist in 1943 when she signed up with the American Red Cross to go overseas. In 2010, 27 years after her death, Black found his motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s memorabilia, which had been stored in a footlocker. He and his wife realized that there was a story to be told. He vowed to get her story out. Black will tell the story of his â&#x20AC;&#x153;talented and dedi-

cated motherâ&#x20AC;? through a documentary and personal recollections on Saturday at 2 p.m. at the Morton Museum in Collierville. He will also have items from that footlocker. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Soldiersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Portraitsâ&#x20AC;? is a Collierville Reads 2014 event. Residents are also invited to read Bob Greeneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once Upon a Town,â&#x20AC;? the story of the North Platte Canteen, a homeland â&#x20AC;&#x153;miracle.â&#x20AC;? This free event is open to the public. The Morton Museum, 196 N. Main in Collierville, also features a 70th anniversary D-Day exhibit. Refreshments will be served.
