Athletic fields contract settled Renaming schools not a requirement By Jennifer Pignolet pignolet@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2372

KAREN PULFER FOCHT/ THE COMMERCIAL APPEAL

Teachers, students and parents have been working at Riverdale Elementary to spruce up the building for the new school year that starts Monday. First-grader Lucy McClain and her family dusted and cleaned the library — one of the most popular rooms for public meetings, said Germantown Supt. Jason Manuel.

GERMANTOWN MUNICIPAL SCHOOLS

Open-door policy District says campuses still available to public

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

Although the five campuses that make up Germantown Municipal Schools are under new management, the buildings will still be open for public use when available. Supt. Jason Manuel said an agreement with the city’s parks and recreation department and a district policy allowing for space rentals will keep the campuses in high demand for community use. “The gyms at the high school are packed until 10 at night,” Manuel said. “It’s a constant flow.” Earlier last week, the school board voted to allow the administration to enter into an agreement with the city’s parks and recreation department to use school property in exchange for landscaping help at the schools. The school board approved a policy earlier this month to allow community groups to use the

facilities. Shelby County Schools had a similar policy when it controlled the schools. Manuel said the city will mow the lawns at all five schools throughout the year. He said when the district looked into landscaping costs, mowing estimates came in at $1,500 to $1,600 per cut for each of the five schools. “There’s a huge cost savings” to the agreement, he said. The city and school district lawyers are still reviewing the final agreement before it is signed. The city will be able to use the school buildings and grounds for the after school REACH program, as well as other classes. Director of operations Josh Cathey said the administration is working to develop a fee structure that will cover utilities and other costs. When an outside group is on campus, a facilities manager has to be there to lock doors, set the alarm system, and deal with lights,

Students at Germantown High School will have use of Germantown city parks and athletic fields this school year after the Board of Mayor and Aldermen approved an agreement with Shelby County Schools on Monday night. The board voted 5-0 to approve the agreement, which will allow students use of the facilities for one year. SCS board chairman Kevin Woods came to the Germantown meeting to speak on behalf of SCS. He said students will begin using the fields almost immediately. School starts Monday for SCS and the municipal districts. “We owe it to these kids to give them a quality education, and part of that is sports,” Woods said. He also said the agreement was a step in the “healing process” between the county school system and the municipalities after the long battle the suburbs fought to break away and start their own school systems. The original version of the field agreement also caused controversy because Germantown included a clause that SCS would have to change the names of Germantown Elementary, Middle and High schools within a year. Dozens of people came to a Germantown meeting to protest the idea of changing the names. SCS board members and administrators rejected the request and the final version does not contain that requirement.

Robbers might be targeting salon workers Pair of holdups being probed for pattern By Lela Garlington garlington@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2349

For the second time in a month, a robber grabbed the purse of an Asian salon worker after she left work and drove to her Collierville home. No one has been arrested. On Saturday and late last month, robbers struck on the weekend, targeting women who work along the Winchester corridor of Bill Morris Parkway

in hair or beauty supply/nail salons. About 4:30 p.m. Saturday, a robber pushed a woman in her garage before running away with her purse and jumping into a red getaway car, possibly a late 1990s model Toyota Camry. The purse held about $400 cash, a payroll check, a driver’s license and credit cards. The 40-year-old Vietnamese woman had just parked her car in her garage at Forest Wind Cove of East Holmes Road and Bill Morris Parkway. Capt. Chris Locke, Criminal Investigations Division commander, said the victim told investigators she

saw someone approaching at a quick pace. The victim was not hurt. She told police the robber didn’t appear to be armed. Collierville police canvassed the Winchester and Hacks Cross area Saturday afternoon, where the victim had just left the hair salon before the robbery. “We are looking into the idea she may have been followed,” said Locke. He said police are uncertain whether cash is the motive or potential identity theft — or both. Collierville police are working with the Shelby County

VETERANS

Sherif’s oice and also Memphis police to see if there is a pattern of robbers targeting Asian salon workers. So far, there are no links to any organized robbery ring working the area. Last month, on the night of June 27, a robber shot a 51-yearold Korean woman in her driveway, striking her right arm, right leg and left foot before snatching her purse. The woman had just left her job at a beauty supply/nail salon on Winchester of Bill Morris Parkway. The irst robbery victim lives on Bechers Brook Cove, just of Grand Steeple

Drive east of Town Square. The second robbery victim lives about 10 miles away. The victims were unable to provide much of a description of the suspect or suspects. Saturday’s suspect is listed as a tall man, thin build, wearing a brown T-shirt and bluejeans. The robber in the earlier holdup is believed to be about 20 years old and wearing a hoodie. If anyone notices a suspicious vehicle or person in their neighborhood, Locke said, “That is one of the best ways to solve these crimes. We want to double down on that. The irst call should be to us.”

the organization since joining Forever Young in 2010. The volunteer award got its name from Jack Taylor, a US Navy veteran who joined Forever Young after going on a trip to Washington, D.C., with the group a couple of years ago. Taylor began reaching out to the community by writing letters to individuals and businesses throughout the area. He is responsible for raising more than $40,000 for the organization. “This trip means everything to them (veterans), for most have never been back,” said Hight. “At their ages, 89 to 95, they would not be returning if we weren’t paying their way and caring for them.” This year the group of veterans will be guided back to the very location where they fought 70 years ago. “Going back is very healing and helps them ind closure,” Hight said. Most of the veterans making the trip crossed the Rhine River into Germany and will be treated to a sixhour cruise down the river. “We could never do this without our supporters,” said Hight. “The veterans are very thankful to everyone who gives so they can return.” Throughout the years, Hight has seen the emotions of veterans making the trip back to Belgium. “They are really surprised people still remember them, but are extremely grateful they do,” she said. “It brings tears to their eyes to know people haven’t forgotten World War II and the Battle of the Bulge.

CONTRACT from 1 Woods said after the meeting that the cost to Shelby County for use of the ields is about $11,000. Supt. Dorsey Hopson has already signed the agreement, which does not need SCS board approval because the cost is under $100,000. Students will be able to use C.O. Franklin Park tennis courts — as well as open space at that park for band practices and rugby — Red Devil Baseball Field, and the Soccerplex on C.D. Smith Road at predetermined times. Mayor Sharon Goldsworthy said both parties have agreed to come back to the table by April 15 to discuss extending or renegotiating the contract for the following school year. City Administrator Patrick Lawton previously said the issue of the school names could come up again during that renegotiation. In other business, the board also approved an agreement with the Germantown Municipal School District to mow the lawns of all ive schools in exchange for the Parks and Recreation Department being able to use school facilities for programs. The after-school program, called REACH, will be run by the parks department at the schools as part of this agreement. Alderman Forrest Owens said that as a parent who has used after-school services for his children, the program and agreement are much needed. This is “exactly what I, what we envisioned when we brought this school district alive,” he said.

Man sentenced to more than 153 years

A Memphis man has been sentenced to 153 years and 10 months in federal prison for a string of 2012 business robberies that included three Dollar Generals, a Family Dollar and two Walgreens, U.S. Dist. Atty. Edward Stanton’s oice announced last Thursday. Ronnie Jackson Jr., 29, was convicted March 13 of 12 counts related to the robberies between April and May of 2012. In his inal robbery at a Collierville Walgreens, Jackson and an accomplice ordered 19 people in the drugstore to the ground at gunpoint. They stole $6,000 from the safe. Collierville police arrested Jackson at the scene. Nikki BoertmaN/the CommerCial appeal

Oicials are collecting data on bike lanes and walking paths to determine just what people want, and how much they’re willing to spend to have it.

Opinions sought Planners seek input on bike lanes By Lela Garlington garlington@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2349

After studying a display board of area photos with people riding their bikes or walking at Lakeland City Hall, Brenda Lockhart, the city’s acting parks director, took red dots and marked the ones she considered unsafe and used green dots for the ones that looked safe. The bike lane along Houston Levee earned a red dot. “It doesn’t look like it is 2½-foot wide. If they meet specs, it’s got to be to the inch,” she said. Lockhart was among about dozen or so people who attended a public meeting in Lakeland July 22 on the 2014 regional bicycle and pedestrian plan update. The planning exercise that Lookhart took part in will be included in data collected at other meetings, including a meeting Monday at the Germantown Economic & Community Development oice, 1920 S. Germantown Road (next to City Hall).

The Memphis Metropolitan Planning Organization is gathering input from residents throughout Shelby and DeSoto counties and parts of Fayette and Marshall counties. MPO transportation planner Nicholas Oyler said oicials want to know what residents want in terms of bike and walking trails, where they want them and how much they are willing to spend to get them. While a similar plan was inished in 2011, Memphis MPO bicycle/pedestrian coordinator Kyle Wagenschutz said they want to see if priorities have changed in three years. Since that time, he said, the metro area has seen a 33 percent increase in new bike lanes, sidewalks and walking trails that total 112 miles. In addition, 233 miles of new bike and walking trails are in the works between now and 2017. Based on the 2011 plan, he admitted there was missing data regarding pedestrian pathways: “We didn’t know which schools allowed children to walk to school.

With the new plan it will be a much more robust analysis of pedestrian needs and desires.” Several residents have complained about the lack of input from walkers. “It is important to recruit a cadre of pedestrian advocates — the city & region has plenty of bicycling advocates,” wrote one observer at an earlier meeting. The public can see a proposed draft during a second round of meetings this fall. In addition to becoming a road map, the plan can help local governments when applying for state or federal grants, Wagenschutz said. He expects the inal draft will be voted on in November at the Transportation Policy Board which is made up of all the mayors in Shelby and DeSoto County and parts of Fayette and Marshall counties. Lakeland Board Commissioner Clark Plunk said he would like to see “more trails everywhere. In my opinion it is all about the money. I can’t see us spending it on bike lanes right now. This room should be full and it’s not. The die-hard bicyclists are here. The walkers are not going to be here.”

heat and air conditioning. A tiered priority system will determine who gets to use the facilities if there are two groups competing for the same space. Manuel said Germantown students will always have priority in their own schools. After current students, school-related groups will be considered, and then community groups. “We want to be a center for the community,” Manuel said. “We want everyone from the city of Germantown, even if they don’t have kids,” to use the schools. Another advantage of having outside people in the schools, he said, is to have the community visualize the needs of each school and to motivate support for the schools. Manuel said the demand for space isn’t going to change, although the process to reserve those spaces will be easier with Germantown in control than it was with Shelby County Schools.

Tensions emerge between municipal districts Germantown board member calls district ‘battered wife’ of Collierville By Jennifer Pignolet pignolet@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2372

Germantown School Board member Ken Hoover last week likened the relationship between the Germantown and Collierville Municipal School districts to domestic violence. “We’re the battered wives,” Hoover told The Commercial Appeal late last Thursday, adding that Collierville was like a man who “hits me but he’s a good provider” so

they stay in the relationship. The comments came after Bartlett City Schools officials criticized Germantown’s interactions with Collierville over the municipal districts’ joint transportation contract. After years of ighting together to create their own school districts, the discord has shifted inward as the six suburban districts now compete against each other while sharing several services. Hundreds of Collierville students also will contin-

ue to attend Germantown schools through an agreement between the two districts. Germantown board chairwoman Lisa Parker said she did not want to comment on Hoover’s “perceived relationship with Collierville” but said she has positive relationships with Collierville school oicials. “I want to have a comfortable relationship with Collierville because we are neighbors and I would like to have a good relationship with my neighbor,” Parker said. During the July 21 Germantown School Board meeting, officials aired

concerns about Collierville’s addition of a clause to the bus contract that could make it inancially diicult for Germantown to merge its three bell times into two bell times for next school year. The following day, Collierville Supt. John Aitken said Germantown’s concerns could be resolved. Bartlett City Schools oicials weighed in on the matter at their meeting last Thursday, saying that Germantown was on the same page with everyone else until Germantown Supt. Jason Manuel spoke to his school board. Bartlett Supt. David Stephens said his district

has kept quiet about frustrations in working with Germantown. Manuel said the clause in the contract, which would require any district to pay if it made a transportation change that inancially afected another district, ended up as a compromise. He said he intends to sign the bus contract as soon as he receives it back from Durham Services. As for working with Collierville, Manuel said Aitken “couldn’t be a better friend or mentor.” “His impact on my professional life is the reason I am where I am now,” Manuel said, adding, “I

In with the new

don’t feel like the battered wife.” Aitken, who served as principal at Houston High School in Germantown and was the superintendent of Shelby County Schools, likened the relationship to a marriage. “You have bumps in the road but you sit down and work it out,” he said. Hoover, who has been outspoken about sharing services with other districts, said last Friday he supports a mutually beneicial relationship, but not when one party is forced into that relationship. He said he believes that’s what happened with the bus contract.

Families showed up for registration at schools across the county Tuesday, including six municipal school districts opening for their inaugural terms. The six, plus the Achievement School District and Shelby County Schools, all start classes Monday under the most significant local educational reconiguration in recent history. Initial reports from the suburbs Tuesday indicated little more than the annual annoyances accompanying registrations. “Everything seems good,” said Bartlett Supt. David Stephens. Collierville Supt. John Aitken reported that registration went smoothly at Collierville’s eight schools as well. He said oicials from the suburban districts will talk individually with their planner Nedra Jones about student populations to see if staf additions or adjustments are necessary. “People are getting in and out quickly,” Germantown Supt. Jason Manuel reported from that district early in the day. Manuel said a rush of people came in the morning, some of whom had not preregistered. “They had a lot of new students show up,” Manuel said. Germantown parent Cris Moore brought her sons, Reagan, 12, and Garrett, 9, to Houston Middle and Dogwood Elementary to register Tuesday. They were among those who had not preregistered. Moore said it wasn’t due to indecision. The family moved from Cordova to Germantown last week and couldn’t register until they were officially residents, even bringing closing documents on the purchase of their Germantown home to registration. Her younger son previously attended Cordova Elementary, but her older son was in private school. “It was like having a second mortgage,” she said. Even though they had to register individually at Houston Middle and Dogwood, Moore said the process was easy. “It took way less time than I had anticipated,” she said. Patrick and Brandi Garner toured Collierville High for the first time Tuesday with their daughters daughter, Hannah, 15, and Katie, 8. They moved to Collierville this year from the unincorporated area near Millington. When asked why, Patrick Garner said simply: “Aitken. Reputation.” reporters lela Garlington and Jennifer Pignolet contributed to this story.

Food MISSISSIPPI MARY POUND CAKE ICE CREAM Makes 1 generous quart. INGREDIENTS

4 ¾ 2 1 1 1

egg yolks cup sugar cups whole milk cup heavy cream vanilla bean cup cubed pound cake, chilled (preferably lemon) DIRECTIONS

MARK WEBER/THE COMMERCIAL APPEAL

“Making the flavors is my creative outlet,” said Hugh Balthrop (right), hand-packing ice cream with employee Donald Sutton at the Sweet Magnolia Ice Cream Co. warehouse in Clarksdale, Miss. The business evolved after Balthrop started making ice cream at home for his children.

HOW SWEET IT IS Mississippi ice cream maker enjoys taste of success

1 Fill a large bowl with ice water. Set aside. 2 Whisk the egg yolks and sugar in a medium bowl until pale in color. Set aside. 3 Combine the milk and cream in a medium saucepan. Cut open the vanilla bean and scrape the seeds in the milk mixture, adding the pod as well. Set over medium heat and warm until bubbles begin to form. 4 Temper the eggs by slowly pouring a half cup of warm milk in the yolks, whisking constantly until combined. Return the warm yolks to the pan with the warm milk mix. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the custard thickens and coats the back of a spoon. 5 Remove from heat and pour through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium bowl. Set the bowl in the ice water to cool, whisking occasionally, about 20 minutes. Chill at least 4 hours, or overnight. 6 Once chilled, pour into ice cream maker and prepare according to manufacturer’s instructions. When churning is complete, fold in pound cake pieces. Transfer to a freezersafe container and freeze at least 4 hours before serving. Source: “Scoop Adventures: The Best Ice Creams of the 50 States,” Lindsay Clendaniel (Recipe from Sweet Magnolia)

MANDARIN SORBETTO Makes 1 quart. INGREDIENTS

By Jennifer Biggs biggs@commercialappeal.com 901-529-5223

ugh Balthrop glides his hand over ribbons of ingredient labels that line a wall of his Clarksdale, Miss., ice cream factory, Sweet Magnolia. There’s Banana Moon Pie gelato, just a space or two over from Benton’s Bacon gelato, but half a wall away from Gravel Road gelato, Honey Lavender gelato and Muscadine sorbet. There’s popcorn and pistachio, chocolate in a variety of lavors, and plenty more. “Making the lavors is my creative outlet,” he said. Balthrop grew up in Washington, the nation’s capital, with no reason to expect that he’d ind himself living in Mississippi or that he would make a living making ice cream. He owned an art gallery in the hip Adams Morgan neighborhood when he met his wife while she was on vacation. She was doing a residency in Chicago, and when they married less than a year after they met, Balthrop moved there while she inished. When she was done, Erica Balthrop wanted to come home to Clarksdale, where her grandparents lived and where she is a practicing obstetrician/gynecologist, so they moved in 1999. They bought seven acres and built a house and a guesthouse, where her grandfather lived until he died one week before his 100th birthday. That guesthouse was Balthrop’s irst production facility, but let’s back up a bit. He was mostly a stay-at-home dad for the couple’s three children, ages 5, 7 and 12, and he was the primary cook in the family. He started playing around with ice cream because, well, who doesn’t like ice cream? So Balthrop made his

Pistachio gelato is one of the flavors produced by Sweet Magnolia. Others include popcorn, Banana Moon Pie, Benton’s Bacon, Gravel Road, Honey Lavender and Muscadine.

kids happy — and made sure they were eating top-quality food — by making them ice cream. “But everybody liked it so much that I started making it for friends, too, and it sort of grew from there,” Balthrop said. He researched methods online, practiced, and then spent a weekend at Penn State taking a class on the science of making ice cream and a class at the French Culinary Institute in Chicago. He set up shop in the guesthouse in 2011. “We started out with a Cuisinart countertop unit at home,” he said. “I came up with the name when I was in the yard at home, too. It was the time of year when the magnolias were fragrant and I said, ‘That’s it.’” He moved on to a Bravo gelato maker, and now into a 4,500-square-foot facility inside the Clarksdale/Coahoma County Chamber of Commerce building, using incubator space for small businesses. He has a commercial gelato machine from Italy that allows him to produce about 700 pints weekly, plus enough 3-gallon containers to keep the restaurateurs who sell his gelato and sorbet happy. The machine pasteurizes and homogenizes the milk, and soft freezes

the gelato. But the initial mixing is done by hand and the containers are illed by hand, by Balthrop and a few helpers. The plastic — reuse is encouraged — one-pint containers even have the variety name handwritten in marker. After packing, containers are stored in big freezers until Balthrop makes his deliveries to the 25 restaurant and retail outlets around Memphis and Mississippi that carry Sweet Magnolia. Charles Shirley at High Point Grocery sells about 150 pints a week at $7.99 each. “Some of the older ladies call and want to be sure we have the whiskey pecan, and they ask us to hold it for them,” he said. Shirley’s favorite is German chocolate. “My wife’s favorite is the watermelon with lemon sorbet,” he said. “But the great thing about Hugh is that if you think of something you want, just tell him and he’ll make it if he can.” Shirley, whose father bought the small grocery store on High Point Terrace in 1971, makes a point of stocking local items. His philosophy ties in with Balthrop’s, who buys local products to use in his gelato and buys organic when he can. “That’s important to us,” he said. “We’re going to support the local farmers as much as we can. Our milk comes from Brown Family Dairy in Oxford, where they know the names of all their cows. It’s organic, and even though they’re just over in Oxford, I found out about them when I read a story in The New York Times.” Balthrop started his Memphis distribution, as many small purveyors do, at Miss Cordelia’s. He added High Point Terrace, just recently Lucchesi’s, and has secured space with Whole Foods in Memphis and Jackson, Miss. “That was a big goal, getting in Whole Foods,” he said. “We did it, and we’re moving forward.”

2 cups freshly squeezed mandarin or tangerine juice plus 1 cup water OR 3 cups juice — Grated zest of 2 mandarins or tangerines 1 cup sugar, or to taste 1-2 egg whites, beaten (optional) DIRECTIONS

ZABAGLIONE GELATO Makes 3 cups. INGREDIENTS

½ 1 3 1 6

cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar cup water egg yolks cup heavy cream, lightly whipped tablespoons sweet Marsala DIRECTIONS

1 Place sugar and water in a pan and boil until the sugar has completely dissolved. Remove from heat. 2 Beat egg yolks until pale and creamy. Beat 2 tablespoons of the hot syrup into the yolks, then gradually beat egg mixture back into the syrup. The mixture will froth, like zabaglione. 3 Fold in the whipped cream and Marsala, the churn according to ice cream maker’s instructions. Freeze at least 4 hours before serving. Because the alcohol will make the ice cream soft, you might not need to soften before serving. Source: “Gelato, Sorbet and Ice Cream,” Elsa PetersenSchepelern

Update a favorite salad for a summertime potluck or picnic By Andrea Weigl

COCONUT BLACK-EYED PEAS

The News & Observer (Raleigh, N.C.)

Yield: 8-10 servings.

Summertime is high season for eating outdoors; weekend plans are illed with cookouts, backyard parties and picnics. That often means bringing a dish, usually a dessert or salad, to go with the host’s main course. With salads, the lineup is often the same: potato salad, coleslaw, pasta salad, baked beans, bean salad. We wanted modern takes on these classics, and this spring’s crop of cookbooks ofered plenty of inspiration. In his new cookbook, “Down South,” New Orleans chef and restaurateur Donald Link spices up a carrot and raisin salad with homemade curry powder. Link also updates an apple and raisin slaw by adding ginger, jalapeños and cooked bits of country ham or prosciutto for heat, crunch and saltiness. Food writer and memoirist Kim Sunee cleverly pairs coconut milk, ginger and chilies with black-eyed peas for a fresh take on hoppin’ John. In “A Mouthful of Stars,” Sunee writes that she considers black-eyed peas to be “the catish of the legume family — musky and murky if not cooked properly.” She discovered that the murkiness vanishes when the peas are cooked like an Indian-spiced lentil dish. The recipe was delicious at room temperature and without rice, which makes it a contender for taking to the outdoor feast. Food blogger Lisa Fain updates Texas macaroni salad in her book, “The Homesick Texan’s Family Table.” Fain explains that a Texas macaroni salad involves pasta, pickles, peas, peppers and a mayo dressing. But it wasn’t to Fain’s taste: “It’s a little cloying with the sweet pickles and sweet mayonnaise.” Fain’s version adds cabbage for crunch, lime juice and mustard for balance and chipotle peppers for heat. “It’s a little more modern taste, a little more to my taste,” Fain said.

INGREDIENTS

1 tablespoon olive oil or vegetable oil ¾ cup diced carrots (about 2 small carrots) ¾ cup diced yellow onion 1 tablespoon peeled and minced fresh ginger 2 to 3 cloves garlic, minced 1 Granny Smith apple, cored and diced 1 pound dried black-eyed peas, rinsed and picked through (soaked overnight, if needed) 5 cups water 1 ½ tablespoons hot curry powder or garam masala 2 teaspoons sea salt 1 teaspoon ground cumin ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1 large juicy orange ½ to ¾ cup canned unsweetened coconut milk, shaken ½ cup fresh cilantro — Garnish: chopped red onion, chopped fresh jalapeño, lime wedges DIRECTIONS

RALEIGH NEWS & OBSERVER/MCT

Coconut black-eyed peas, from “A Mouthful of Wonderful” by Kim Sunee, can be served warm with rice but is equally wonderful at room temperature.

That’s exactly what we’re looking to bring to the next picnic.

1 Heat oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat; add carrots, onion, ginger, garlic and apple. Stir and let cook about 3 minutes, being careful not to burn. Add black-eyed peas, water, curry powder, salt, cumin and black pepper; stir and bring to a boil. Skim the froth, decrease heat to medium-low, and simmer about 40 minutes, until peas are almost tender. Stir occasionally, mashing some of the peas against the side of the pot for creaminess. Add more water, as needed, if peas are dry. 2 Add zest from one-quarter of the orange, then cut orange in half and squeeze juice into the peas. Add coconut milk and stir. Simmer, covered, for another 7 to 10 minutes, until peas are tender. Taste peas and adjust the seasonings as needed. Pour peas into a large serving dish. Garnish with cilantro, red onion, jalapeños and lime wedges. From “A Mouthful of Stars,” by Kim Sunee (Andrews McNeel, 2014).

MEMPHIS CHINESE EVANGELICAL CHURCH

Briarcrest teacher runs summer art camp with her former students By Beth Rooks Special to The Weekly

Bria rcrest m iddle school art teacher Melody Weintraub directed an art camp this summer for children at Memphis Chinese Evangelical Church. Two of her former middle school students, Josiah Fahhoum and Briarcrest alumni Christina Conner assisted in teaching and setting up the camp, which was held at Union Avenue Baptist Church. “This is our third year to serve the children at the church. I have always loved to use art to teach Biblical principles,” said Weintraub. “Years ago when I began the art camp model at my own church, First Evangelical Church, Briarcrest high school art teacher Jenna Fergus, suggested that we take this concept to China. I thought at the time that was a lofty goal, however, God has fulfilled that vision by bringing the Chinese children to Memphis. MCEC is such a precious body of believers. I am encouraged by their faith,” she added. In the two-day camp,

students learned watercolor, mixed-media collage and participated in several craft-making workshops. Also assisting with teaching and mentoring the children was Jackie Zwicki and teens Olivia Grace Sistrunk and Megan Cascarella. “What I love about being able to serve at the MCEC Art Camp,” said Conner, “is not only being able to see the delight on the faces of the children as we teach them about art and about God, but also being able to fellowship and serve with the other members of our art camp team.” Briarcrest helped in many ways by supplying materials and equipment for this camp. Briarcrest middle school students also assisted with materials by donating their endof-the year art supplies at locker clean-out in May. “Some of these MCEC families will have gone back to China when we meet next year,” says Weintraub. “It is really nice to know that we have been able to show them Biblical principles through art that they will hopefully

MYTHICAL MINIS

A little fairy with butterfly wings sits in a whimsical miniature garden at Millstone Nursery.

Rich in tiny details, fairy gardens provide whimsical ‘spots of heaven’ for owners By Christine Arpe Gang Special to The Commercial Appeal

hen it comes to inding enchantment in their work, gardeners are thinking small. “My fairy gardens are like little ‘spots of heaven,’” said Scott Sellers, who owns several. “I keep them on my screened porch and the kitchen table so I can have living gardens through all of the seasons.” Fairy gardens, which blossomed on the local gardening scene about eight years ago, are whimsical creations designed to attract fairies — mythical miniature creatures thought to bring beauty and joy to a garden when they are happy and mayhem and mischief when they are not.

Deedee Holmes, who has a fairy village, says the petite accessories that go with her seven buildings are “adorable.” “I like the details like the tiny little package I bought the other day to go into the mailbox,” said Holmes, who CHRISTINE inds the scale just right for ARPE the courtyard garden behind her zero-lot home in GANG Germantown. “Anything GREEN THUMB miniature is my thing.” Fairy gardening is a lot like playing with an outdoor dollhouse except that garden benches, watering cans, birdbaths and trellises take the place of sofas, lamps and pictures. Holmes and Sellers are frequent visitors to Millstone Nursery, where they indulge their passion by purchasing items to enhance their miniature gardens. You can spend a lot for a fairy garden with sturdy buildings enhanced by irresistibly cute accessories. Or you can create one that costs very little. Through their workshops at the Memphis Botanic Garden, nurseryman Paul Little and Master Gardener Emelia Miekicki have shown hundreds of youngsters and adults how to make fairy gardens using natural materials such as bark, rocks, moss and sedums and other small succulents that root easily in a shallow tray of soil. “We always bring some samples of fairy gardens to the workshops, but the children know what to do as soon as they see the materials,” said Little, owner of Little Hill Nursery, a wholesale source for sedums and other ground cover. The houses or shelters for fairies are typically built with twigs and big pieces of bark. Moss covers most of the surface of the shallow plastic dish that holds the garden. Pebbles form paths, and lat glass marbles become creeks. Garage sales, thrift stores and anything-for-a-dollar stores are sources for inexpensive embellishments. “These gardens are meant to be ephemeral,” Little said. Because they are intact for only a season or two, there is always an opportunity to create another. They don’t last forever, said Ginny Nearn, who has several concrete fairy houses in her garden and also creates them for others at Millstone, where she is a part-time loral designer. “They certainly do last longer than a bouquet of cut lowers,” she said. “I took one to a friend in the hospital, and she loved it.” Miniature or fairy gardens bring unexpected visual delights when constructed on the ground in front of trees or in tree stumps that have been allowed to rot for several years. After soil is worked into the stump cavities caused by decay, they can be planted and “decorated.” As a hobby, miniature gardening has moved past the leeting-fad stage, according to Garden Media Group, a Philadelphia-based public relations company that surveys its clients about gardening trends. Increased consumer demand for diminutive plants and miniature accessories relects its popularity. Not all miniature gardening pursuits are whimsical and ephemeral like fairy gardens. Bonsai plants have been prized for centuries for their understated elegance and long lives when properly maintained. With bonsai, the ancient art of growing miniature trees in containers, you can have a grove of trees on an apartment balcony. Bonsai hobbyists carefully choose their containers. And they might add a stone or two to the ground beneath the trees. But it’s hard to imagine them placing a fairy igure on a meticulously sculpted and clipped branch. Terrariums, which date to the early 1800s, lend themselves to a bit of whimsy when accessories like people, animals, shells and glass beads are placed in the glass container with the plants. You can ind lots of information and photos on the hobby online through Pinterest and other websites. YouTube ofers step-by-step videos. The Millstone Nursery website and Facebook page also have lots of photos.

Faith GERMANTOWN

Five churches team for â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Labor of Loveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; By Kit Decker Special to The Weekly

On Sept. 1, St. Georgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Episcopal, Germantown United Methodist, Germantown Presbyterian, Kingsway Christian and New Bethel Baptist are joining together to serve the community in a Labor of Love. Partnering with MIFA, the five churches will give members the choice of several ministry opportunities to serve neighbors in need. Members can fill bags for MIFAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s emergency services, clean yards or do minor home repairs or deliver meals in selected areas. Senior ministers of the

churches are the Rev. Dorothy Sanders Wells, Rev. Richard Smith, Rev. Will Jones, Rev. Ryan Starr and Rev. Donald Ester. All have been in dialogue about ways to bring their congregations together for shared worship or community ministry opportunities and from that dialogue the concept of Labor of Love was born. The churches will gather on Labor Day morning at 8 a.m. at St. Georgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for a time of reflection and prayer. Members will then head out to share their love with everyone in the greater community. Church members who will be unable to participate are still encouraged to

take part in Labor of Love by bringing items to fill the bags for MIFAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s emergency services, provide yard tools, trash bags, coolers of water or provide trailers for transporting the yard equipment. The ministers are encouraging their members to look at the many ways that they can serve their neighbors on Labor Day, and find their place in Labor of Love. Church members can sign up for activities at SignUpGenius.com/go/ 10C0B4EA9AE2AAAFC1labor. Kit Decker is the publications writer/editor for St. Georgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Episcopal Church.

JESUS LOVES THE LITTLE CHILDREN Volunteers at the Farmington Presbyterian Churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weird Animalsâ&#x20AC;? vacation Bible school included Marissa Hyman (left), Lauren Teague, Elizabeth Demaree, Cristaldawn Smith, Chloe Cross, Alexis Williams, Abby Robinson, Camille Young and Hayley Ferrell. There were 121 children signed up for a week illed with learning about Jesusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; one-of-akind love. Through each of the stations, the week showed children that when they feel left out or feel diferent, or when they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand, Jesus loves them.

The Protection Comes with a Proper Fit

Nearly a college football player, David Wicker always considered himself to be physically it. A bout with necrotizing pneumonia sidelined him in 2009, and not only did he lose part of a lung during a lifesaving surgery, but he also lost his activity level. And the pounds packed on the athlete. “It was pretty catastrophic for me from an ability standpoint. I went from being well-maintained and physically it to being bedridden, moving in with my parents and taking time of from school,” said the procurement specialist for International Paper. Once he got back into the swing of things, Wicker’s doctor recommended he try exercise classes with Dexter Tenison of Fitness Revolution. Wicker, 29, along with his wife, signed up for six weeks of the trainer’s boot camps. While he experienced results — mainly transforming body fat into muscle mass — he still wanted more. The couple then decided to join Tenison’s group personal training classes, and in those classes the trainer ofered an incentive to the couple. If one of them lost 20 pounds in six weeks, they could both win a trip to Las Vegas. That was a month ago, and Wicker, of Collierville, has already won the trip. “I’ve seen tremendous results. I’ve lost over 20 pounds,” Wicker said. While the workouts have changed from the cardio type exercises in boot camp to more personalized weight and cardio exercises in the group training classes, Wicker points to his dietary changes for his success. “Prior to this, I was taking special indulgences and making them routine. I would have dessert at every meal. Instead of one craft beer and enjoying that for what it is, I would have multiple ones at meals,” Wicker said. With the encouragement of Tenison, Wicker chose the Paleo diet, eating mostly meats and vegetables, but adapting it to exclude fruit. “After the six-week period, I can gradually introduce these restrictions back

our Pearl S. Buck’s home in Bucks County, Penn., and you’ll feel as if you’ve discovered a treasure as prized as an oyster’s pearl. Layer after layer of Buck’s story will peel away and inspire you as you go room to room, walk the grounds and visit her grave. A bestselling author, Buck was the irst American woman to win both the Nobel and Pulitzer prizes for literature. But her work went far beyond the printed page.

WHAT TO DO

A writing desk and typewriter remain in the study of the Pearl Buck home.

Buck counseled presidents, mothered a brood of children (one birth child, seven adopted children and at least 10 foster children), changed the lives of thousands more children and fought for racial harmony through cultural understanding. The daughter of missionaries, she used her vast knowledge of China, where she lived for 40 years, to bridge major gaps in understanding between the East and the West. Beloved and admired, she also accepted keys to more than 30 cities, collected 13 honorary degrees and was featured on a postage stamp. She deserves as much admiration as other Bucks County luminaries, including Henry Chapman Mercer, James A. Michener and David Burpee. “We worry young people will not know who she is because ‘The Good Earth’ is gone from most school reading lists,” says Janet Mintzer, CEO of Pearl S. Buck International, referring to Buck’s famous novel about the lives of a Chinese peasant family. Buck, who died in 1973, was born in West Virginia in 1892, grew up in China and lived for nearly 40 years at Green Hills Farm in Hilltown Township near Perkasie. To keep her memory alive, Pearl Buck International not only keeps up her home, but also ofers a teen leadership program and summer culture camps for children. It also continues Buck’s legacy of inding loving homes for children who need them via its Welcome House program and providing still more children and their families with health care, education

and support through its Opportunity House. Pearl Buck’s house, itself, also was endangered, in disrepair and needing major work despite being one of only a few National Historic Sites focusing on a woman and even fewer containing an intact collection of her belongings. But times are looking up for Buck and her home. A new and previously unpublished manuscript has been discovered and published as “Eternal Wonder,” stirring new interest in the author. The home was removed from a list of Pennsylvania’s 10 most endangered historic houses and reopened in 2013, after eight years of extensive repairs and restoration. Today, the 1825 stone farmhouse and surrounding 60 acres play a major role in telling Buck’s story and continuing her legacy. Buck and her second husband, Richard Walsh, made major changes in the home to accommodate their large family and provide oice space. But how and why did Buck ind her way to Bucks County? Bucks County, already known for its peace and quiet, appealed to artists of all kinds. The property was within a few hours drive of her New York City publisher’s oice and also enabled Buck to be close to her only natural-born child, Carol, who had the progressive mental deterioration phenylketonuria in a time when it was unknown. Carol lived at New Jersey’s Vineland Training School from 1929 until her death in 1992.

Taking a guided tour of Buck’s home opens doors to her world and ofers more intimate glimpses of this woman who balanced career and children, long before feminists tackled the issue. Her weekday routine was ixed. After making sure the children were of to school, she’d write from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Then, she would spend the rest of the day running the household, helping the children with homework or teaching them other skills, including playing chess, the piano and the organ. Although the author had help on weekdays (a housekeeper and a cook), she was on her own to mother her brood in the evenings and on weekends. Furnishings range from the sentimental, such as the deacon’s bench from the John Day Publishing Co. where Buck was sitting when she irst met future husband Walsh and learned he would publish her irst novel, “East Wind, West Wind,” to the entirely practical — a specially designed closet outside her bedroom containing equipment she needed to heat a child’s bottle in the middle of the night. Decor also is cross-cultural, including many Chinese, Indian and Japanese pieces brought back from the Far East mingled with antique inds the Walshes made in Pennsylvania Dutch country. One of the home’s two libraries contains Buck’s “Good Earth” desk and the secondhand 1911 Royal typewriter she used while writing in the attic of

■ Taking a tour during the annual Holiday Festival of Trees makes a visit here even more special. Available Nov. 11-Dec. 30, these tours are $1 more than regular house tours and are available Monday through Saturday at 11 a.m., noon, 1, 2 and 3 p.m.; and noon, 1, 2 and 3 p.m. Sundays. A Community Holiday Open House is 6-8 p.m. Dec. 11. ■ From August through December, the 50th anniversary of Pearl S.

her cottage on the grounds of the University of Nanking, where she and her irst husband, John Lossing Buck, were teachers. Among books crowded into the home’s second library are a few left from a set of Charles Dickens works which Buck read over and over again as a child growing up in China. The home’s living room, where the idea for Pearl S. Buck International’s “Welcome House” was born, is one of its most historically signiicant locations. The author invited inluential friends, including Michener and Oscar Hammerstein, to help solve a problem she discovered in 1949. She was asked to ind a home for a biracial child and inally realized, after hours of calling, that no adoption agency would accept him for placement. She declared, “Every child deserves a home,” and rallied friends to help her start her own adoption agency. Although Buck died at her Vermont retreat, she wanted to be buried at Green Hills Farm. She speciied it should be sheltered from view by pines and bamboo so it would not be distracting or upsetting to visitors.

City refunds $500,000 to donor Funds given specifically for surgical care wing at new animal shelter By Lela Garlington garlington@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2349

Philanthropist Beverly Babb Elliott thought she had an agreement: She would give Collierville $500,000 for a surgical care wing at a new animal shelter building and the town would use her donation as she speciied. But when bids came in higher than expected, town oicials axed plans for the surgery clinic. Instead, the board of Mayor and Alderman voted last month to build a multipurpose Humane Education building with space for day camps and children’s parties. Elliott read about the change in The Commercial Appeal and asked for her money back. “I went to great pains to let them know I wanted it to be used for a surgical

and isolation wing,” Elliott said. “I don’t agree with a Humane Education building. I think it’s a waste of money. If that’s what they want to build, that’s their choice. I want the animals to beneit.” Town oicials, who last week issued its largest refund on a charitable donation, are calling the costly misstep “an oversight.” “For me, it’s embarrassing,” said Mayor Stan Joyner. “I should have remembered — as others should have remembered — that it was a designated donation.” Joyner considers the mistake a teaching moment. “I should have asked the question: Does Ms. Elliott know how this is going to be used? If the buck has got to stop, it stops with the board.” Elliott, a former rancher and horse trainer who struck it rich when oil and gas reserves were discov-

ered on her Texas property, has a home in Collierville and a farm in Mt. Juliet, a suburb of Nashville. She has given to the town’s Morton Museum and Animal Services division in the past. On June 23, the Collierville Board of Mayor and Aldermen unanimously approved hiring Jaycon Development Corp. for $874,000 to build a scaledback Humane Education building and outdoor covered area on the grounds of the shelter at 603 E. South Street not far from Town Square. The scaled-back building did not include a surgery center. The project irst stalled in May 2013 when the original bids came back well over projections. When the plans were redrawn and rebid, that is when town oicials dropped the proposed surgery wing, a sally port and other items. “If I hadn’t read it in the paper, I may not have ever known until it was built,” Elliott said.

After Elliott asked for a refund, Parks Director Chip Petersen and Animal Services Director Wingield tried to negotiate a compromise. They suggested turning the building’s library and volunteer room turned into a surgical wing and isolation ward inside the Humane Education building. Elliott said no. Town Administrator James Lewellen said he didn’t realize her donation was conditional until Elliott called and asked that the $500,000 be returned. Once he checked the iles, he said he realized, “It was an oversight on our part.” The town sent Elliott a check by certiied mail July 11. For now, plans for a Humane Education building are on hold. Once the town is serious about a new surgery center, Elliott said she’d return the donation. “I’m real softhearted,” Elliott said July 23. “I don’t want any animals to suffer.”
