Tara Peeper (right), at Collierville Town Square with son Cade, 20, and daughter Quinn, 15, is one of the irst people in America to undergo a procedure that allows for noninvasive treatment of a brain aneurysm. “God used the WEB device and Dr. Arthur to save my life,” she said.

Feeling blessed Teacher’s one of irst to get new device for aneurysms

By Tom Charlier charlier@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2572

hen a nagging sinus problem sent her to the doctor’s oice last summer, Tara Peeper couldn’t have known she faced a far graver threat that would soon place her at the forefront of experimental medicine. A computer tomography (CT) scan indicated her sinuses were clear, but the results weren’t entirely positive. Deep in the base of her brain, the scan showed, was an aneurysm. The aneurysm, a bulging weak spot in the wall of an artery, was small but dan-

gerous because of its location and the wide “neck” of the bulge. “Come to ind out, it was in the worst place and was irregularly shaped ...,” said Peeper, 43, a Collierville schoolteacher. “The placement and shape — it would’ve killed me.” The peculiarities of her case made Peeper a poor candidate for conventional treatment methods, including surgery to cut through the skull and clip the aneurysm and halt the blood low into it. But she was the perfect choice for an experimental device that allows for a noninvasive method to treat the aneurysm.

The annual Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure will be held Oct. 25 at Carriage Crossing. The event begins at 6:30 a.m. and the race starts at 9 a.m. “We are honored that our town again is host for the 22nd annual Komen Race,” Collierville Mayor Stan Joyner said. “Just as our town does with any endeavor, we support this event wholeheartedly ofering services of the police department and other staf.” The day will be illed with activities including a survivor breakfast at 7:30 a.m., a survivor photo, entertainment and an aerobic warm-up. The Boufants will perform at 11 a.m. With an expected 13,000 participants, event organizers hope to meet the $1 million fundraising goal. Last year, the race had approximately 11,500 people and raised $900,000. To register, go to komenmemphis.org. The cost to participate is $30 for adults, $35 for timed adult runners, $30 for Sleep in for the Cure, $30 for Kids for the Cure, $10 for children ages 2-5, $15 for children ages 6-12 and $20 for a timed run for children ages 6-12.

In the News BOARD OF MAYOR AND ALDERMEN

Collierville adopts town anti-bullying policy Rule for employees a unanimous vote By Tom Charlier charlier@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2572

An anti-bullying policy intended to ensure a “healthy and safe work environment” for Collierville employees won unanimous approval Monday night from the town’s Board of Mayor and Aldermen.

The board approved without comment the four-page policy, which will be added to the Personnel Policies and Procedures Manual governing the approximately 450 people on the town’s payroll. Director of Human Resources Jay Jefries told board members that Collierville already had policies prohibiting various types of harassment, including sexual. But the deinition of harassment has been expanded in recent years to in-

clude bullying, which was not covered in the town’s existing personnel policies, he said. The policy deines bullying as “behavior that demeans, intimidates or humiliates either individuals or a group.” It can occur as a persistent pattern of behavior or as a single incident. There are ive types of bullying outlined in the policy: verbal, physical, manipulating the work environment, psychological and “mobbing,” which is deined as bullying carried

out by a group against an individual. “It is important to understand there is a difference between friendly banter exchanged by longtime work colleagues and comments that are meant to be, or are taken as, demeaning,” the policy states. The policy includes requirements for reporting bullying and says the consequence for the behavior is discipline “up to and including termination.” Jefries said that the policy

was not prompted by any recent incident or problem. “Just trying to be proactive,” he said. Jefries said he’s not aware of any other municipalities in the area that have adopted antibullying policies. Mayor Stan Joyner said after the meeting the policy represents “due diligence” by the town to protect employees. “It does show that the town is very concerned about our employees, the safety of our employees...,” Joyner added.

The Germantown Board of Mayor and Aldermen granted final approval Monday night to a longdiscussed development proposal enhancing the western entrance to the suburb. Aldermen adopted the Western Gateway plan — a spinof of the Smart Growth concept the city is attempting to implement in the central business district — by a 3-1 vote with Alderman John Drinnon dissenting. Alderman Greg Marcom recused himself. The Western Gateway concept is geared to help with economic growth and vitality. Outside the central business district, most of Germantown’s businesses are clustered at city borders. The most vocal opponents were residents of the Nottoway subdivision on the south side of Poplar east of the zoning district. During the second reading and public hearing on Sept. 22, the neighborhood’s attorney said the residents agreed to a compromise that made the rezoning more palatable for the residents. That included a 150foot bufer from Nottoway where buildings could not exceed three stories. The buildings can increase in height as they are developed away from the neighborhood, reaching as tall as 10 stories. City oicials said there are no speciic plans for the area as developers waited for the rezoning approval so they would know the regulations. The rezoning will allow existing businesses in the region to remain. The overall gateway plan covers 58 acres on the suburb’s western doorstep in the Poplar corridor, including the old Kirby Farms property between Poplar and Poplar Pike. The board also approved the irst of 12 payments for settlement of the federal lawsuit regarding municipal schools. Germantown will pay $355,453 annually for its share of the settlement that resulted in ive campuses transferring from Shelby County to the suburb’s school system.

Impoverished girls in developing countries can miss up to two months of school a year because they lack access to hygiene products. Girls Inc. of Memphis this week is responding as part of International Day of the Girl, which was last Saturday. By last Wednesday, about 75 girls and another 25 volunteers inished making by hand 100 washable and reusable feminine pads. Girls Inc. will ship the sanitary absorbent cloths to Days for Girls International, whose mission is to provide reusable hygiene pads to girls in developing countries. “Girls in the Third World countries don’t have as much as we can have,” 15-year-old Ayra Burney said last Wednesday as she cut cotton fabric at the Girls Inc. Lucille DeVore Tucker Center in Uptown. “So we’re making sanitary napkins for them out of diferent fabrics, layering them and sewing them up,” the Ridgeway High 10th-grader said. “It makes me feel grateful for what I have,” she said. “But also I feel good because I can help someone else who doesn’t have as much.” Girls in developing nations often miss school or work during their menstrual periods, and improvise sanitary pads by us-

ing everything from leaves to mattress stuing to corn husks. “It turns out this issue is a surprising but instrumental key to social change for women all over the world,” states the Days for Girls website. “The poverty cycle can be broken when girls stay in school.’’ Girls Inc. of Memphis works with more than 3,000 girls a year at its two centers and through its outreach programs. Its mission is to inspire girls to be “strong, smart and bold.” “The reality for girls is once a month we have our cycle,’’ said Lisa Moore, president and chief executive oicer of the Memphis organization. “And here we can hop up to CVS, Walgreens or Kroger and keep going to school and we don’t miss a beat.

“But a lot of girls around the world don’t have access to that.” Girls Inc. packed the cloth pads with a kit that also includes soap bars, underwear and wash cloths. There’s a reason why the Memphis girls aren’t seeking money or donations for commercial, disposable hygiene products to ship to developing countries. “Because of the trash,” said Dora Brown-Harris, training and curriculum coordinator for Girls Inc. of Memphis. “They don’t have a lot of places to dispose of trash.” Waste disposal is such an issue that Girls Inc. has been asked not to send soap in commercial wrapping like it did last year.

DEVICE from 1 Known as the WEB Aneurysm Embolization System, it’s like a tiny basket — a precisely engineered, woven sphere of metal — that’s placed at the tip of a catheter and inserted into the femoral artery in the groin area. Once the catheter has been directed to the aneurysm, the basket springs open across the neck of the bulge, slowing and eventually stopping the low of blood into it. On a Tuesday in August, Peeper and two other patients at Methodist University Hospital in Memphis became the irst people in the U.S. to undergo the procedure with the device. Although her aneurysm bled for several minutes during the procedure, creating some complications, she spent only two nights in the hospital and was back at work teaching fourth-graders

at Crosswind Elementary about a week and a half later. “It was noninvasive — I didn’t even have stitches,” Peeper said. She and the two other patients helped launch an international trial in which the WEB system will be tested on about 140 patients at Methodist and two dozen other centers in North America and Europe. Dr. Adam Arthur, director of vascular neurosurgery at Methodist, who performed the procedure on Peeper, is the principal investigator for the trial. Methodist is the lead center. Arthur said the system ofers advantages to other methods of treating aneurysms. It’s less costly and invasive than surgery, and the other conventional option, a coil device placed by a catheter, isn’t suited to wide-necked aneurysms such as Peeper’s. And unlike other options, she wasn’t required to go on blood-thinning medication. “For Ms. Peeper and others, it’s

a real jump forward,” Arthur said. Although it was invented in the U.S. and is manufactured in California, the WEB device has been used more extensively in Europe, where regulatory processes aren’t as rigorous. Brain aneurysms present a special challenge, Arthur said, because arteries there are smaller and softer. In addition, the brain is loating in spinal luid. “Inside the skull, we can’t get any pressure on a bleeding point,” he said. An estimated 5 percent of the population is believed to have brain aneurysms, according to the National Institutes of Health, but only a small number of the aneurysms will cause symptoms or rupture. “Most of them never bleed. The problem is, once they bleed, you’re already behind the eight-ball,” Arthur said, citing estimates that about 25 percent of patients quickly die or become disabled after a rupture.

That’s why Peeper, a devout Christian, considers herself blessed. Her faith, along with support from friends, family and coworkers, carried her, she said. “God used the WEB device and Dr. Arthur to save my life,” Peeper said. She and her husband, Cade, have three kids — two boys and a girl — aged 15 through 20. For all its dangers, the experience with the aneurysm brought the family closer together, Peeper said. “It changes you forever. I was very open with my kids about the possibility of my death.” She was most worried about possibly surviving but being debilitated. “If I die I know where I’m going. I think I was almost more afraid of not dying,” Peeper said. She now wants to see the WEB device become available to others with aneurysms. “My irst goal was survival. Now, my goal is for this to save other people’s lives.”

In the News PLANTATION GOLF COURSE

Golfer Tom Tweel uses his putter to toss himself his ball after sinking a put on the sixth green at Plantation Golf Club in Olive Branch. MIKE BROWN THE COMMERCIAL APPEAL

Garnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s add a golf course By Ron Maxey maxey@desotoappeal.com 901-333-2019

Listen to Russ Garner talk about the numbers, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to understand at first blush why he would want to take on another golf course. By his own estimates, Garner says business at the typical golf operation is down 25 to 40 percent from the peak years of 1998-2001. Profit margins, once in the 20 to 25 percent range, are now closer to 10 to 15 percent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of people arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t retiring with as much (time and money) as they thought theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just not what everybody thought would happen,â&#x20AC;? says Garner, long associated with Windyke Country Club in southeast Memphis and owner there since 2011 with his wife, Jenny. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some courses around here started closing about three years ago, but there are still more courses than demand.â&#x20AC;? So, given the less-thanrosy scenario, why would the Garners look south of the state line and buy Plantation Golf Course in Olive Branch? â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the business weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in,â&#x20AC;? responds Garner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We decided if weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be here, we might as well try to expand. We looked at courses and thought weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d want something in close enough proximity (to Windyke and the Garnersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Germantown home) so that we could get some synergy. Plantation made a lot of sense.â&#x20AC;? The Garnersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Southern Golf Co. LLC bought the 188-acre Plantation site about two months ago from Cherokee Valley Golf Club for an undisclosed price. The property was appraised for tax purposes at about $2 million. Since then, Garner has assembled a staff and developed a plan of action that he hopes will help Plantation succeed in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tough business climate for the sport. Initial work has included a fresh paint job for the 5,000-square-foot clubhouse, upgrading some landscaping and building an innovative bridge â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a $15,000 to $20,000 in-house project using a tractor-trailer bed as a foundation â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to help resolve a drainage problem between the course and the surrounding residential community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Structurally, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a sound golf course and clubhouse,â&#x20AC;? Garner said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but it opened in the early 1990s and just needs some updating.â&#x20AC;? Next up is work on the bunkers, some of which are being reshaped and some that will be filled in. Maintaining a good relationship with residential neighbors was important, so Garner said one of the first actions after buying the course was meeting with the homeowners association. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was substantial interaction with the com-

munity originally,â&#x20AC;? Garner said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but the course and the neighborhood have sort of gone their own ways since. That said, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no way to deny a connection between the

golf course and the community. When you drive through the community, you see the golf course all around, so we want a good relationship with the neighborhood.â&#x20AC;?

St. George’s Independent School students were busy making goods to sell at the Scarborough Fair festival, which will be Sunday from 4-6 p.m.

Students create items to sell at Scarborough Fair By Sarah Cowan Special to The Weekly

Second graders at St. George’s Independent School are gaining entrepreneurial skills and putting engineering and design theories to work in the school’s new Innovation and Science Lab as they create products to sell at an upcoming fair. Scarborough Fair will be put on by Calvary Episcopal Church and the Church of the Annunciation on Sunday with the goal of raising awareness and donations for the Community of St. Therese of Lisieux, a local residential program for women who have survived abuse, life on the streets and prostitution. Calvary Episcopal Church and the

Church of the Annunciation partnered in May 2014 to form Friends of Thistle Farms, an initiative that involves an herb garden and bee keeping. They plan to create products using the herbs and honey to support the Community of St. Therese of Lisieux. Ashley Cochran, a second grade teacher at St. George’s, heard about Friends of Thistle Farms and knew it was the perfect complement to the second grade insect unit. As part of the launch of the school’s newest facility — a state-of-the-art Innovation Lab that is modeled on labs found at top universities across the country — the curricular unit entailed students engaging with a design thinking process in the same way that engineers and marketers at global companies go about bringing products to market. The overall unit involved learning experiences in biology, engineering processes, and entrepreneurial and marketing plans, not to mention community service. “We were studying insects and want-

ed to ind a way to incorporate that into giving back to the community,” Cochran said. “The work at Thistle Farms had all the elements we were looking for.” The second graders have created several products from honey that they plan to sell at the Scarborough Fair, including honey sticks, lip balm, and honey suckers. The children’s excitement over the project is evident. “I love that our ministry, which serves people with serious challenges, could also provide an opportunity for second graders to do something that makes a diference in other people’s lives,” stated Reverend Eyleen Farmer of Calvary Episcopal Church. “The children were excited and very curious, and they wanted to do something to help.” The Scarborough Fair will be held on Sunday from 4-6 p.m. at 3342 Waynoka Ave. For more information, visit calvarymemphis.com. Sarah Cowan is the director of communications for St. George’s Independent School.

This service only takes place during the school year and limited to class curriculum titles or educational research. “We have a special education class that visits the library every Friday,” said Petersen. “Sometimes we don’t have many appropriate books on our shelves for their class, since this is a middle school. The courier service gives us an opportunity to access more materials for their educational needs.” The irst delivery of books had a few picked out by Petersen for the special education class, which she plans to read during their visit to the school library. Burch Library director Deanna Britton and Gail Tucci, head of circulation, were in attendance for this special delivery along with Dr. Andre Craford, the pre K-5 supervisor in the department of curriculum and accountability with Collierville Schools.

Schools SNAPSHOTS Farmington APEX students Eric Xie, Sam Phan and their classmates put their creative problem-solving skills to the test in a Computer Explorers Lego Robotics class. Students worked in pairs to construct ferris wheels out of Legos. Once the ferris wheels were inished, the students used laptops to write programs that made the ferris wheels do diferent things, such as spinning at diferent speeds, stopping to let passengers on and even playing music.

Houston Band rocked all night for a fundraiser. Students pledge to rock all night while donors sent in inancial support of the band. During the night, students gathered in groups, visited, played cards and sang karaoke. By morning, almost everyone had been awake 26 hours.

Crosswind Elementary School held a Student Council swearing in ceremony at the Collierville Town Hall. Thirty-eight ifth graders were sworn in to the council by Mayor Stan Joyner and Supt. John Aitken. Oicers for the year were also sworn in.

An annual event at St. George’s Independent School brings students from both the Germantown and the Memphis campuses together to enjoy a fall activity called “Scarecrow Day.” Divided into groups, the irst graders chose clothing, wigs, hats and accessories to decorate their pumpkin-headed scarecrows and display them for all to see. The students learn teamwork and creativity as they build their scarecrows together. Every year students are given a variety of incentives to raise money for Tara Oaks Elementary. This year, fundraiser organizers used creative tactics to get students motivated. Classes that met their goal were rewarded with a water cannon and balloon ight with the assistant principals. Teachers joined the fun by spraying students with a big blast of water. Fifth-grade teacher, Tracy James makes a big splash with students.

Dayshun Holliday, Audrey Bouche, Camilla Arredondo, Abigail Haider, Caleb Skinner, Jacob Myers and other students at Tara Oaks collected money for WREG Channel 3 meteorologist Jim Jaggers’ Go Jim Go! campaign.

We lost three Germantown schools and didn’t have to. George Brogdon is serious about getting them back. We’re serious about our support for George Brogdon: Brenda Bluestein (former Germantown Elementary School Principal) Ernest Chism (former Germantown Alderman, Shelby County School Board Member and Germantown High Principal) Ted Horrell (Superintendent of Lakeland School System, former Germantown High Principal) Lee-Ann Kight (former Farmington Elementary School Principal) David Kustoff (former United States Attorney for the Western District of Tennessee) David Pickler (former Shelby County School Board Chairman) Charles Salvaggio (former Germantown Mayor)

Losing our three namesake schools under current city hall leadership has proven to be a mess. Because our elected officials gave up on getting Germantown Elementary when it was offered, 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 with other officials – city, county, state and federal – to make our municipal schools better and to get our namesake 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, it’s time to get serious about all our schools. It’s time to elect George Brogdon – the serious choice for mayor.

Business MY LIFE/MY JOB

McLendon is one of the only female jewelry store owners Owning her of jewelry store wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always the plan for Doris McLendon. But when her then husband wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t buy her a bigger diamond, she decided to take matters into her own hands. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I decided to go to work at Albritonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jewelry in Jackson, Miss.,â&#x20AC;? McLendon said. After working in the jewelry business for several years, McLendon, who was previously an elementary school teacher, opened her own store near Oak Court mall in 1993. In 2002, McLendon moved her business to Germantown, now located at 9387 Poplar. McLendonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s store ofers a variety of jewelry, including engagement rings,

ine colored stone jewelry, custom pocket knives and more. B ei ng one of only a few fe- Doris male jew- McLendon elry business owners in the area is a rewarding experience, McLendon said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What I like about the jewelry business is that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very happy connection with people,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a job of making people happy.â&#x20AC;?

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why John Barzizza is running for alderman â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to bring a business-like approach to government. For too long, city hall has taken us for granted while our wallets took a big hit. No business could succeed that way. Recently retired, Barzizza is service-oriented, results-driven and focused on the bottom line; skills gained from 43 years in a family business. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll use that experience to help the city make the best decisions for development and education, protecting our property values now and in the future. John knows a core value of good business is clear, open communication and listening to the people you serve. We need city government thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efficient, productive and responsive, just like a successful business. John Barzizza will bring a business approach to city hall and that means fiscally responsible leadership for Germantown.

Producer Molly Smith visits the Kakuma refugee camp in Kenya while researching the movie “The Good Lie.” “I wanted to be sure the movie was accurate and told with integrity,” she said.

family’s relationship with Joseph Atem,” said Smith, 33. “He was a sort of family member, and he was one of the first people I called when we decided to make the movie because I wanted to be sure it was accurate and told with integrity.” Atem’s connection to the Smith family was initiated, more or less, by Stacey Hydrick, 44, one of Molly’s older sisters and the second-oldest of the 10 Smith children. Hydrick was introduced to Atem and other Sudanese refugees during a meeting at the

SKI

“The Good Lie,” a movie that stars Reese Witherspoon as a Kansas City job counselor working with a trio of Sudanese refugees, was inspired by recent and in large part tragic African history. But it’s also a story with very personal meaning for producer Molly Smith and other Memphians. Smith, the daughter of FedEx founder Frederick W. Smith, was drawn to the subject matter in part because her family helped sponsor a “Lost Boy” of Sudan, Joseph Atem, now an engineer who lives in Cordova. Atem, whose village was destroyed by soldiers in 1988, was undereducated and penniless when he arrived here in 2001 as one of about 4,000 so-called “Lost Boys” who were resettled in the U.S. after being displaced or orphaned by the civil war in their homeland. Atem earned a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering and a master’s degree in engineering management at Christian Brothers University, and he’s now a power plant engineer at FedEx. But as shown in “The Good Lie,” the transformation from stranger in a strange land to proud American citizen was challenging. At worst, Atem said, he and the other “Lost Boys” placed in a South Memphis apartment

complex were intimidated and threatened with guns by neighbors who wanted money from these unusual newcomers with foreign accents. “America is a great country, but if you had asked me that question in 2001, I would have said, ‘No,’” said Atem, 34. “Memphis was not easy to adjust to. We had so much culture shock. Some people were so welcoming, and some were not.” A Warner Bros. release, “The Good Lie” — now in its second week in Memphis area theaters — begins in Africa in the 1980s and follows a group of Sudanese children as they dodge animal and human predators on an epic trek to the teeming Kakuma refugee camp in Kenya. (This is the camp where Atem lived before coming to Memphis.) The film’s focus eventually narrows to a trio of young-adult Sudanese refugees, played by Arnold Oceng, a British-Ugandan professional actor, and Ger Duany and Emmanuel Jal, both reallife “Lost Boys” who served as forcibly recruited child soldiers in the Sudanese conflict before escaping to freedom. The movie’s second half depicts the experiences of these refugees in Kansas City, where Witherspoon’s job counselor is among the citizens who come to admire the Africans’ resilience and determination. “It’s a very personal story for me, and a story I knew well because of my relationship and my

home of her friend, Cindy Hailey, an Associated Catholic Charities volunteer. “They were so young, and you hear their stories, and it touches you, especially if you’re a mom,” said Hydrick, who at the time of the meeting was pregnant with her fifth child (she now has eight). “And you hear these stories about these kids who literally fled their villages at 8, 9, 10 years old — and they grow up in these horrid circumstances and they come here and somehow they’re the sweetest people you would ever meet. So you really

want to help them.” Steve Moses, director of World Relief Memphis, which recently replaced Associated Catholic Charities as the local agency in charge of resettling refugees, said Memphis is home to about 500 Sudanese people. (In comparison, close to 5,000 Vietnamese live here, to cite a more well-known refugee population.) Attempts to turn Margaret Nagle’s screenplay into a movie were stymied until it came to the attention of Black Label Media, a new production company founded by Molly Smith and partners Trent and Thad Luckinbill, Oklahoma twin brothers and actors-producers Smith met in Los Angeles some six years ago. Smith’s interest in the story led to a deal with Imagine Entertainment, the Ron HowardBrian Grazer company that held the rights to the script, and with such other partners as Alcon Entertainment, the company financed by Frederick W. Smith. Molly Smith was a producer of one of Alcon’s biggest hits, the Memphis-set “The Blind Side” (2009), but she said her new company, Black Label, gives her a chance to prove that “something with a small scope can still be commercial and entertaining.”

Dragons shut out in district matchup

NIKKI BOERTMAN THE COMMERCIAL APPEAL

VOLLEYBALL

Houston wins 15-AAA District championship

By Pete Wickham Special to The Commercial Appeal

By John Varlas

Ridgeway coach Duron Sutton described his second-ranked Roadrunners’ 31-0 win at Collierville last Friday this way: “We really didn’t do anything special,” he said. Well, actually one thing. On a night when Earl Harrison racked up 122 rushing yards and three touchdowns — two by ground, one by air, it was the Roadrunner defense that racked up its first shutout of the season. “Those guys have been working hard to get a shutout, and they stepped up and got it tonight,” Sutton said of a unit that held Collierville to 114 total yards, stopped them twice inside their 30 and got interceptions from Joseph Newberry and Nick Gordon. Ridgeway (6-1, 4-0) knocked Collierville (5-2,

3-1) out of a three-way logjam atop District 15-AAA and will deal with the other co-leader, Houston, in its next game. Star turn: Harrison scored on runs of 18 yards in the irst quarter and ive yards late in the game. Both came on runs to the right side, the calling card of the Ridgeway ofense. “I trusted my team and my line, and they came through when I needed it,” said Harrison, who has committed to Arkansas State. He also scored on a pretty 37-yard bootleg

swing pass to the left side from Braxton Conard (7of-18, 145 yards, two TDs, one interception) midway through the third quarter. Dragons coach Mike O’Neill marveled at the versatility of what looks like a very basic Ridgeway ofense. “They run one formation, I-right. But they have so many weapons and do so many diferent things of it,” he said. Turning point: With the game scoreless in the irst quarter, Collierville’s Austin Hall got a pick and returned it to the Ridgeway 40. The Dragons got the

ball inside the 30 but stalled and didn’t get that close again until late in the game. “We’re still struggling to ind an identity,” said O’Neill, whose injury-riddled squad alternated between sophomore Parker Moss and freshman Garrett Booth at quarterback (the pair went 7-of-19 for 38 yards and two interceptions). “We’ve got to ind a way to extend drives. Our defense just got worn out.” What’s next: Ridgeway travels to play at unbeaten Houston. Collierville is home against Munford.

There were no brilliant strategic reasons for Houston’s victory over Collierville in the 15-AAA volleyball championship last Thursday. Nor were their any ireand-brimstone motivational speeches. Mustangs coach Becky Pendleton said the key was simple. “We just had more fun than they did,” she said. “When you have fun, you win and when you win you have fun and it just (goes) like a cycle. Of course it can go the other way too.” Although her team has had its ups and downs this year, everyone was all smiles after defeating the visiting Dragons for their fourth tournament championship in a row.

Tournament most valuable player Krysta Medearis put down 28 kills and regular-season MVP Olivia Novotny added 15 as the Mustangs wore down the Dragons, 25-20, 25-17, 25-10. Collierville had to battle just to make the championship match, ighting back from a 2-1 deicit before eliminating Germantown. “That whole match was kind of a microcosm of how our season’s gone,” said Dragons coach Kenny Gass. “We’re very talented, but we’re still learning to have the mental toughness to inish of teams. “But I was very proud of the way we played against Houston.” Tuesday night Houston added the Region 8-AAA title, again defeating Collierville. Both schools advanced to Thursday’s sectionals.

Memphis Tigers

PhOTOS By NIkkI BOERTMAN / ThE COMMERCIAl APPEAl

Tigers coach Josh Pastner has seven new scholarship players to meld, but after five practices, he’s satisfied with their chemistry.

GETTING IN SYNC Tigers talk up the importance of team chemistry at Media Day By Jason Smith smithjas@commercialappeal.com 901-529-5804

t was a word likely repeated 100 times Monday during the University of Memphis men’s basketball Media Day. “Our chemistry is a lot better than I think it was last year,” sophomore forward Austin Nichols said. “I think our chemistry is picking up good,” sophomore guard Pookie Powell said. “This year, I think with maybe not as much talent (as last year), you’ve got to pick up the chemistry,” sophomore forward Jake McDowell said. So this chemistry thing has to be important, right? Even coach Josh Pastner mentioned in his opening statement Monday how good the Tigers’ chemistry has been through ive practices. No, Memphis hasn’t faced any adversity yet, Pastner said. That’s when its chemistry and fortitude will be tested. But for a team with seven new scholarship players, developing and maintaining good team chemistry is clearly a major focus with the program looking to take the next step by advancing past the irst weekend of the NCAA tournament.

But what does good chemistry look like and does it actually translate into more wins? Is it less bickering among players behind the scenes? Is it fewer egos? Or is it a uniform willingness to ill whatever role is asked, even if it means the teammate beside you gets more of the spotlight? “It’s just practicing every day and getting to know each other better out there on the court. It just takes time,” said Powell, who this summer appeared to be in line to start at point guard this season before Memphis added Vanderbilt transfer Kedren Johnson in August. Powell said he’s content with whatever role he’s assigned, but will that remain the case throughout the course of the season? “I’m just gonna keep coming in here and working hard; doing what I gotta do and what coach asks me,” he said. “(Johnson is) a solid player. Very experienced. He knows what he’s doing out there. You can tell he’s been playing college ball for two years.” Memphis was saying all the right things when asked about chemistry at last year’s Media Day, too. Could four senior guards who all had NBA aspirations coexist? Absolutely,

MEMPHIS MADNESS

Austin Nichols greets the media during Memphis Tigers Media Day at the Finch Center. “Nothing against the guys last year, but I think our chemistry will definitely be a key this year,” Nichols said

they answered. Yet there were times last season when the group splintered and played as individuals. “Nothing against the guys last year, but I think our chemistry will deinitely be a key this year,” Nichols said. “I think with this year’s team, everyone is two feet in. Last year, at some points we were two feet in. But not the whole year. So, like I said, chemistry will be a key for us and we all have to stay two feet in.” With just two returning starters in Nichols and junior forward Shaq Goodwin, it could be December or January before these new-look Tigers can blend comfortably into their roles. Most

preseason publications have Memphis unranked because of the uncertainty surrounding its backcourt, which other than Johnson doesn’t include a player with Division 1 experience. “It’s gonna be tough. We’re going to go through challenges and stuf as a team,” junior guard/forward Trahson Burrell said. “But I feel like as of right now we’re coming together because we’ve got juco guys and all diferent kind of freshmen. So it’s gonna be tough at the beginning I feel, but I feel like we’re gonna get it together because we all want the same goal. So we gotta come together or it won’t happen.”

Everything’s new for Tigers this year — including attitude The most popular individual at Memphis Tiger basketball media day? Easy, Lamar Chance. He’s the sports information guy. Everyone had important questions for him. Such as: “Which one is Trahson Burrell?” And: “Over there, is that Avery Woodson?” And: “That’s not Chris Hawkins, is it? I thought he’d be taller than that.” “It feels like a new team,” said Nick King. “I think we can be even better than last year.” Yeah, we’ll check back with you in March on that. But if you like new, this is the Memphis team for you. There’s new stuf everywhere you look. There’s a new assistant coach (Keelon Lawson). There’s a new emphasis on ofense (post play). There’s a new strength coach (Evarist Akujobi) with fancy new equipment he calls “weights.” There’s a new site for the conference tourna-

GEOFF CALKINS COLUMNIST

ment (Hartford, Conn.). There are new, reduced expectations (no preseason Top 25). And there are new players at every position on the court. Indeed, there are nine players who didn’t get a minute of time last year who could be rotation regulars. That’s right, nine! The four kings have given way to the nine question marks. There’s Kedren Johnson, the point guard transfer from Vanderbilt, the one who likes music even more than hoops. There’s Calvin Godfrey, the big man transfer from Southern and Iowa State, who says things like “My motor runs all day.” There’s Pookie Powell

(with the big hair) and Chris Hawkins (with the broad shoulders) and D’Marnier Cunningham (the really little guy) and Markel Crawford (from Memphis) and Avery Woodson (the shooter) and Trahson Burrell (everyone says his body resembles Will Barton’s) and Dominic Magee (the freshman from Louisiana). “We are very, very young and we are very, very inexperienced,” said coach Josh Pastner. “It’s going to be a challenge, certainly.” It may be a particularly telling season for Pastner, after the meltdown at the end of last season. Does he have the ability to knit a team out of a collection of disparate parts? When we last saw the Tigers, they were getting blown out of the building by Connecticut and Virginia. I was one of many who suggested Pastner could use some experienced help on the bench.

Memphis Tigers Jordan Manse (left), Trahson Burrell, Markel Crawford, and Nick King laugh as they watch a teammate during interviews for Media Day at the Finch Center. NIkkI BOERTMAN ThE COMMERCIAl APPEAl

That went out the window when the opportunity arose to hire Keelon Lawson and secure sons Dedric and K.J. So now it’s all up to Pastner, which is what he wanted anyway, to show he can forge a cohesive team out of the gifted players he recruits. “Chemistry is going to be important,” said King. “I think we all know that. It is going to be a lot diferent than last year.” Ahhh, last year. The subject came up a lot at Monday’s event. And not in the most complimentary of ways. When Pastner was asked how this team

will be different from last year’s team, he said, “They’re going to do their job, what’s being asked of them.” When Goodwin was asked why this year’s team already seems closer than last year’s team, he said, “You got players like, no ofense to Joe Jackson, you got players like Kedren, who came in, he doesn’t know anybody, but still, you look at him, he’s got a smile on his face, he’s welcoming everybody, he’s more, you know, more open to meeting new people. Just the diferent new personalities we do have are welcoming personalities that can make us

closer as a team.” So, no ofense to Joe, but last year’s team wasn’t welcoming? It’s an interesting theory that may contain some truth, but it feels like a familiar theme. The incoming team always has better chemistry until it loses some games. At which point, everyone inds out what the chemistry is really like. For too many years, it has not been what it should. So now there is new hope, along with everything else. New hope that the nine new guys will forge a real bond. New hope that the quotes from this particular media day aren’t just words.

Local cook Jennifer Chandler poses in her kitchen with her latest cookbook, “The Southern Pantry Cookbook.”

OF THE

PICKS PANTRY Staple ingredients star in Jennifer Chandler’s latest cookbook By Michael Lollar Special to The Commercial Appeal

ennifer Chandler treats chicken like a painter treats a palette. “With such a neutral lavor, it can be paired with myriad ingredients and cooked a multitude of ways to create an ininite number of diferent dishes,” she says. Chandler, widely known as author of a series of specialty cookbooks including “Simply Salads,” “Simply Suppers” and “Simply Grilling,” is branching out with her new volume, “The Southern Pantry Cookbook,” into the regional foods, including chicken, that remind us of our grandmothers and the foods that turned the kitchen into the favorite hangout of their homes. Chandler’s grandmothers were from New Orleans and Atmore, Ala., near Mobile. From Creole to “down-home” dishes, Chandler’s favorite foods became a melting pot of the South. The chicken recipes alone could justify this book, but Chandler also makes sure that users of the book are well prepared by outlining the necessary ingredients of the Southern pantry.

A well-stocked pantry doesn’t mean an exotic array — just the basic foods and tools to whip up a batch of anything from jambalaya or shrimp Creole to tamale pie or pork tenderloin. Yes, the book includes enough beef, pork and seafood entrées to turn it into a wellrounded basic cookbook complete with side dishes, salads and desserts. There are too many suggested pantry items to list here, including items from the shelf, the refrigerator and the freezer. And there are no real surprises, just a good reminder to keep your grocery list up to date so that when you reach into the pantry you can come out with a variety of spices, nuts and condiments or, from the refrigerator, a variety of cheeses and a good sampling of basic vegetables. Chandler also takes away any guilt about resorting to frozen vegetables. They are a “great shortcut since they are picked and frozen at the peak

1 in a large stockpot over medium-high heat, warm the oil until a few droplets of water sizzle when carefully sprinkled in the pot. Add the onion and cook, stirring often, until the onions are soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute more. 2 Add the tomatoes, broth, mixed vegetables, okra and beans. bring the mixture to a boil over high heat. lower the heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered until the vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm. Cooking tip: italian-style diced tomatoes are simply diced tomatoes lavored with italian seasonings. if you don’t have a can in your pantry, use regular diced tomatoes plus 1 tablespoon of dried italian seasoning. Pantry shortcut: A bag of frozen mixed vegetables contains carrots, corn, green beans and green peas. you can always add whatever frozen vegetables you have on hand. you can also substitute chicken stock for the vegetable broth.

This lemony chicken dish is my Southern spin on an italian piccata. Serve with rice or angel hair pasta for a fabulous meal. INGREDIENTS

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1½ pounds) kosher salt and freshly ground pepper ¥ cup all-purpose lour 2 tbsp. olive oil ¾ cup chicken stock ¾ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice 3 tbsp. unsalted butter 1 lemon, thinly sliced into rounds DIRECTIONS

Chandler chops an onion in her kitchen as she makes soup. Chandler’s latest cookbook focuses on the Southern pantry and recipes with ingredients people already have on hand.

of ripeness to lock in lavor and nutrients.” Same goes for those readycooked rotisserie chickens at the grocery store. Chandler includes shortcuts with many of the recipes, including those rotisserie chickens, “to take the stress out of cooking” for people like her who combine busy days with children at home. One of our favorites was a fairly involved recipe for a homemade cream sauce in chicken spaghetti. If you’re in a hurry, then, voilà, substitute two cans of cream of chicken soup for the cream sauce, she suggests. Chandler graduated at the top of her class from Le Cordon Bleu in Paris, so if she can get away with cream of chicken soup it works for us. One item on her pantry list that many Southern cooks may not always have on hand is kosher salt. In almost every recipe in the book she uses kosher salt instead of regular iodized salt because the chemical process to iodize salt alters the lavor, she says. Kosher salt gives a deeper, saltier lavor. “It just seems to melt into the food better,” she says. The kosher salt is similar to sea salt but costs far less, she adds. And she suggests Morton’s makes a good grind of

kosher salt for cooking. As for the chicken in this cookbook, you don’t have to be Southern to appreciate the bird that could join that All-American list of baseball, apple pie and motherhood. “Everybody loves chicken. I would even venture to say that it’s probably America’s favorite meat,” says Chandler. That said, she leaves out a recipe for classic fried chicken. Why? “To be honest, classic fried chicken is not the easiest dish to master, plus so many restaurants do it so well,” she says. “A lot of people complain to me that it will burn on the outside before it gets cooked on the inside. I wanted to provide something that was easier and quicker. I try to make it foolproof.” Her alternative should satisfy any fried chicken lover. It’s called “Peanut-ty fried chicken strips with maple-Dijon dipping sauce.” She slices boneless skinless chicken breasts into 4- to 5-inch slices. She then seasons the strips with salt and pepper, dredges those in seasoned lour, dips them in beaten eggs, drains the excess egg then dredges the strips into a mixture of ground peanuts (or cocktail peanuts) and pan-

ko breadcrumbs. The chicken then goes into hot oil to cook until golden brown. Then remove the strips and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake at 350 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes. Serve warm with a dipping sauce made of a half cup of mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, a fourth of a cup of maple syrup and seasoned with kosher salt and ground black pepper. Those strips can be frozen ahead of time and cooked straight from the freezer without thawing. There are recipes for braised chicken with mushrooms and grits, chicken divan, chicken fricassee, chicken potpie, grilled chicken with peach barbecue sauce, lemony chicken and a slow cooker cola chicken, but Chandler admits to a family bias for her favorite chicken recipe — “Pa’s herbed chicken parts.” Based on her father’s recipe, she rinses and pats dry 3 pounds of chicken bufalo wingettes, places them in a large bowl, adds a half cup of olive oil, a tablespoon each of dried rosemary, dried thyme leaves and dried oregano and adds kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste. The chicken is then placed on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and cooked at 350 degrees for about an hour. Turn once during cooking. While it is her favorite, the rest of the recipes in the book (105 in all) are all taste-tested and, as one commenter in the book contends, “bulletproof.”

1 rinse the chicken and pat dry with paper towels. Place the chicken in between 2 pieces of wax paper or plastic wrap and, using a meat mallet or rolling pin, pound to ¼-inch thickness. Generously season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Place the lour in a shallow bowl and lightly dredge both sides of the chicken in the lour, shaking of the excess. 2 in a large skillet over medium-high heat, warm the oil until a few droplets of water sizzle when carefully sprinkled in the pan. in two batches as to not overcrowd the pan, cook the meat until nicely browned and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer the meat to a plate and tent with foil to keep warm. drain all of the fat from the pan. 3 For the sauce, add the stock and lemon juice to the pan and cook over mediumhigh heat, stirring with a wooden spoon to scrape up the browned bits from the bottom, until the sauce is reduced by half, about 3 minutes. Whisk in the butter. Stir in the sliced lemons and cook until warmed through, about 1 to 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. 4 To serve, place a piece of chicken on each plate and spoon the sauce over the top. Cooking tip: if you have capers in your pantry, you can add a spoonful to the sauce for a chicken piccata. The saltiness of the capers is a nice addition to the lemony sauce.

Winning walkway Botanic garden stroll provides feast of pleasures for the senses

FELDER RUSHING THE SOUTHERN GARDENER

PHOTOS BY CHRISTINE ARPE GANG

Vertigo, an ornamental grass with deep purple leaves, grows into a big clump in a single season. It tolerates heat and drought. When winters are mild, it returns the next year.

t was cloudy and cool Tuesday when I took a stroll around the Memphis Botanic Garden looking for some great plants to write about. This is a transition time in gardening when many summer stunners are popping out and fall lowers and foliages are still waiting in the wings.

But I did ind several stunning specimens, starting with the ornamental grass, Vertigo, a pennisetum. Vertigo is a big but graceful mound, about 5 feet by 5 feet, of dark purple ribbonlike leaves. It tolerates heat and drought and when winters CHRISTINE are mild, it returns. It didn’t ARPE make it through GANG our last superGREEN THUMB cold winter, but plants in 3-gallon nursery pots planted in the spring reached full size a few weeks ago. Because it does not lower, you don’t have worry about baby plants turning up in unwanted places. “I saw it at Summer Celebration a few years and knew we had to get some,” said Kyle McLane, assistant director of horticulture at the Botanic Garden. Summer Celebration is a lawn and garden show held every July at the University of Tennessee’s Research and Education Center in Jackson. In a spot just outside of the Four Seasons Garden, Vertigo has been cozying up to Silk Stock, a coleus with lime green leaves and dark burgundy veins, along with short orange zinnias. If you are looking for a sun-loving low-growing annual next year, consider a dwarf morning glory called Blue My Mind. Profuse quarter-sized blue lowers bring a cool look to the garden all summer. But like morning glories, the lowers close in the afternoon, but the silver foliage remains fresh looking. You can see beds of these blues in My Big Back Yard and on either side of the fountain in the Four Seasons Garden. I’m not usually a big fan of marigolds but a mass of the annuals illed my eyes with cheerful oranges and yellows on that overcast day. The lowers, part of the Incan series, are planted on each side of a gently winding path to the children’s garden. They made me want to skip like a kid again but my knees nixed that idea. Before they say adios for the season, the marigolds will be harvested and refrigerated by area Latinos to use in their decorations for the Day of the Dead, the Nov. 1-2 holiday that honors and remembers those who are no longer living. The orange and yellow flowers symbolize the rays of the sun and are thought to light the path for the “souls” to once again enjoy their favorite foods, which are placed on home altars. The pungent fragrance of the lowers also serves as a guide. Members the Memphis Day of the Dead Committee also come to the Botanic Garden in the spring to help with the planting of the marigolds, said Chris Cosby, garden manager. Thorny plants are more diicult for me to like but no one questions the beauty of roses, quince blossoms and some showy cactus blooms. Take care when you encounter trifoliate orange, a small tree with sharp thorns and small sour fruits, on a path leading to the herb and woodland gar-

Orange and yellow marigolds line a curvy walkway from the Visitors Center to My Big Back Yard. The flowers will be snipped and dried for Day of the Dead celebrations.

The serious thorns of the trifoliate orange plant are partially hidden by its leaves.

dens. With its shiny green leaves still attached, it’s easy to overlook thorns unless you mistakenly grab a branch. But when its branches are bare, a contorted mass of thorny twigs makes for a macabre yet compelling statement in winter landscapes. “Look but don’t touch,” it would warn touchy-feely folks if it could. In a less-traveled area behind the Rick Pudwell Horticulture Building grow numerous Chinese chestnut trees.

The nuts are well protected in a husk that is covered in sharp prickly thorns. Do not attempt to pick them up without gloves. In fact, don’t pick them up at all. That’s a job for horticulturist Sherri McCalla, who stomps the closed husks open and carefully extracts the brown shiny nuts that are sold at the Wednesday afternoon farmers market at the garden. Printed recipes are provided to buyers. The nuts are not ripe until they fall from the tree. Judging from husks I saw on the ground, many will open on their own. From what I’ve read online, chestnuts are an acquired taste unlike the pecans, walnuts and almonds we enjoy by the handful. They are more starchy than other tree nuts and somewhat bland.

Learn from British to calm down, garden on

I love learning new stuf and bringing it home. For several years I have lived part time in England, both in Shropshire, the “chocolate box” cottage and Hobbit region, and in a village nestled in the beautiful moors of northern Lancashire. And I visit gardens both private and public, and attend lower shows from spring to fall. There are some big diferences in style, theirs and ours. One example is how most of our gardens are usually designed from the street looking toward the house, open to view; British gardens are just the opposite, laid out to view from the house looking toward the street, and are usually set apart from passers-by with a low rock wall, hedge or fence. Theirs are more private and guarded (which is where the word garden comes from). And they tend to pack more variety of plants into smaller spaces and borders, which typically surround their gardens: hodgepodges of small trees, evergreen and lowering shrubs, mixed perennials, annuals, grasses, and herbs, and overlowing containers and hanging baskets. By the way, some of the showiest plants in English gardens are native to our own Mid-South. Lately I have become enamored with the incredible hydrangeas that are grown all over the U.K. The entire group is knockout gorgeous in England’s cool, moist late summer, unlike how hydrangea colors wash out in our Mid-South heat. This year I am seeing more of the brand-new eye-catching Dark Angel hydrangea, maybe not even available in the U.S. It has dark bronzy-red foliage that doesn’t fade as the hot summer wears on, and its lower heads, whose bracts start out almost blue, turn vivid pink and lime. It’s no wonder they get it right. They have been at it much longer and have igured out what grows well in their climate. England will it inside Mississippi, has only two planting zones, and lavish media coverage of gardens and events. They are a land of gardeners. But we are too, in our ways. One thing I have learned from British gardeners is to just calm down, and garden on.

New Hydrangea macrophylla Dark Angel

It’s simple to prevent dust-mite allergens By Katherine Roth Associated Press

Although the thought of sleeping with millions of dust mites — microscopic arachnids that feast on lakes of skin — is just plain gross, it’s something most people can handle without worry. After all, our bodies are inhabited by multitudes of bacteria, to which we seldom give a thought. For the many people who suffer from allergies, though, the allergens in dust-mite feces and body parts can lead to chronic sinus problems and coughing, among other symptoms. If gone untreated, the problem can escalate to eczema and asthma, particularly in children, according to James Sublett, president-elect of the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology. “The sooner you intervene, the less likely the problems are to escalate,” he said. Luckily, homes can be made

more livable for allergy-suferers — and less amenable to dust mites — in just a few steps. About a quarter of Americans sufer from some sort of allergy and, of those, one-half to twothirds are sensitive to dust-mite allergens, according to Sublett. “Around the world, dust mites are the most common indoor allergen,” said Robert Wood, director of the pediatric allergy and immunology division of Johns Hopkins University. If dust-mite allergies are suspected, the irst step is to get tested by an allergist. These tips from allergists can help make any home friendlier to those with indoor allergies, dust mites included: ■ Keep It Dry. “One of the biggest and most common mistakes people make is to install vaporizers and humidiiers,” Sublett said. “Moisture can and does cause all kinds of problems.” Dust mites can’t survive in less

than 50 percent humidity, so buy a humidity meter and, if needed, a dehumidiier to keep humidity to between 35 percent and 50 percent. ■ Rip out the rugs and ditch the drapes. Carpet and heavy drapes are a reservoir for allergens like dust mites and should be removed, particularly in bedrooms. If removing them isn’t an option, the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology recommends frequent vacuuming using a HEPA (higheiciency particulate air) ilter. Those with allergies should stay away or wear an N95 particulate mask during and immediately after vacuuming. ■ Just Encase. All mattresses, box springs, pillows and comforters should be encased in wellsealed, tightly woven, microiber “mite-proof” covers from a reputable company, such as Mission: Allergy or National Allergy Supply, and linens and stufed ani-

mals should be washed weekly, allergists say. Opt for smooth. Smooth surfaces that can be wiped clean are generally better for allergy suferers than more porous upholstered surfaces on couches, chairs and even car seats, Sublett said. ■ Clear and clean the air. To help keep indoor allergens of any kind at bay, homes should be smoke-free and pets should be kept out of the bedroom. For the very allergy-prone, use a HEPA air ilter in the bedroom with a

CADR (clean air delivery rate) adequate for the size of the room. Install MERV 11 or 12 disposable, high-eiciency ilters in the furnace and air conditioning system that can be changed every few months, according to Sublett. ■ Check the units. Allergists suggest that to minimize indoor allergens, heating and air conditioning units be cleaned and serviced every six months, and that gas appliances and ireplaces be vented to the outside and regularly maintained.

Junior Auxiliary members attend national meeting

WWII memorabilia displayed at event

Special to The Weekly

The Junior Auxiliary of Collierville recently attended the area meeting of the National Association of Junior Auxiliaries held in Olive Branch, Miss. This is the time of year when JA chapter programs kick into high gear as students and teachers return to the classroom after summer break. What better way to get JA members energized for the upcoming year than with an opportunity for learning, sharing ideas and networking? “The NAJA Area Meeting was a worthwhile educational opportunity for the JA Chapters to gather and share experiences, discuss issues and gain knowledge. We attended workshops on the powerful use of social media, conflict resolution, and hands-on improvements within service projects. The education gained not only strengthens our chapter, but enables us to provide quality services and events for the families and children of Collierville.” said JAC President Lesley Richardson. The Junior Auxiliary of Collierville has 35 active members who dedicated a total of more than 1,500 community service hours to Collierville in the 2013-14 school year. Participants had a variety of workshops to choose from, many of which were led by current or former NAJA Board members. Some incoming officers were offered training sessions for their respective positions while other sessions covered topics relevant to the Chapter’s needs. JA of Tupelo, Miss. showed participants the strategy they used to pro-

Germantown resident John Black displayed World War II memorabilia stored in his mother’s footlocker at a Collierville Reads 2014 event at the Morton Museum held on Sept. 27. Black began by reading heartfelt letters written to his mother, Pittsburgh portrait artist Elizabeth Black, from families of soldiers whose portraits she had sketched. Elizabeth Black’s inspiring life is celebrated in the WQED triple Emmy-award winning documentary Portraits for the Home Front, which was also shown at the event. The public is invited to the next Collierville Reads event “The Canteen Spirit” on Saturday at 2 p.m. at the Morton Museum. Visit colliervilleliteracy.org or call 901-854-0288 for details.

mote NAJA’s National Focus, teen pregnancy prevention, in a creative and tech-savvy way. How did they disseminate positive, abstinence-based information and make it appealing to young people? They created a smartphone app. Past NAJA President Lyn Patrick facilitated a discussion on how to create rewarding, meaningful, and hands-on service projects by sharing her personal story of her chapter’s relationship with a young man named Ricky. “Is Chapter Conlict Impacting your Efectiveness?” helped participants learn about the signs of conlict and adult bullying and offered techniques to address and eliminate that type of behavior in chapter’s with struggling memberships. Another workshop showed participants how to promote their chapters through social media platforms. From setting up an account to reaching a wide audience, members learned best practices and how to get the most out of their online experience. Lastly, participants examined ways to

dig deeper into project possibilities with the “Connect with Kids” website and shared ideas of how other Chapter’s have integrated the program. NAJA hosts area meetings across the southeast each year to ofer training and assistance to the organization’s 98 chapters. “NAJA is committed to providing quality workshops and support for all of its Chapters. These meetings allow Chapter members to collaborate with each other and share ideas on service and inance projects,” said Beth Holbert, NAJA President. Junior Auxiliary represents a serious endeavor on the part of women to be active and constructive community participants and to assume leadership roles in meeting community needs. The mission of the National Association of Junior Auxiliaries is to provide support, resources, and educational, leadership, cultural, and health care training for NAJA members to optimize community service by NAJA Chapters.

John Black celebrated his mother Elizabeth Black’s life and legacy at a Collierville Reads 2014 event at the Morton Museum.

Earlier this month, members from Germantown Station celebrate the improvements to the park near the neighborhood. Improvements include a new walking trail and bridges.

GERMANTOWN STATION

Park improvements celebrated Special to The Weekly

Germantown Station neighbors gathered Oct. 2 for a ribbon cutting to celebrate the completion of the improvements to the park located in their community. After the City of Germantown representatives conferred with neighbors last fall, it was decided a walking trail around the

lake would be constructed to improve the existing trail, banks, bridges and drainage on the property. The trail is blacktopped and approximately 5-feet wide. Two wooden bridges make crossing drainage areas safe. The cost for the improvements was $119,500. Wagner General was the contractor for the project. The trail gives baby strollers, ishermen,

and pint-size bikers access from the street to and around most of the lake. The Germantown Station Neighborhood Association is thrilled with the improvements that were made without having to close the park to the public. After the ribbon cutting neighbors enjoyed socializing with friends and Parker’s Water Ice as a sweet treat on a hot day.

Your body has natural adaptive responses for many functions such as sweating to cool your body or dilating your pupils to let in more light. Adaptive responses occur automatically without any effort on your part. Your muscles and bones also have natural adaptive responses that help them strengthen with the right stimulus. Surprisingly, this can happen with very little effort. With the right stimulus, your own natural adaptive responses will signal your muscles and bones to strengthen at any age without hours of effort in the gym. The unique patented system at OsteoStrong is designed to safely create the right circumstances in order to trigger your own natural adaptive response with four brief, but very unique exercises that will not leave you sweaty, fatigued, or sore the next day. In fact, your session takes less than 10 minutes, once a week.

By Kim Cook Associated Press

re you a fan of mid-century modern? Drawn to classic elegance? Does the handicraft of global décor grab you? There was an era when experts said to pick just one, but now we can mix and match or go all in. Each season brings updated versions of successful pieces, plus an interesting array of new looks. This fall’s no exception. “Keep an eye out for versatile accent pieces, the kind that can work in a myriad places, and consider material and color combinations,” says Beth Kushnick, set decorator for CBS’ “The Good Wife.” “These are some of the easiest ways to refresh any space, and there’s a ton of stylish options out right now at a range of price points.” After her sophisticated sets drew an online following, Kushnick has created her own furnishings line, which debuts this fall. She says fall 2014 is about inding pieces that provide maximum impact without a lot of efort. Some themes this season:

TOUCH OF FALL “Look for texture-rich accessories — like a box with stone inlay or a wooden sculpture — that add an element of nature to your space. Mix in a variety of metals to add a sense of luxury,” Kushnick advises. Says Los Angeles-based designer Trip Haenisch: “I’m seeing a lot of fabrics with luxe textures this season. Linen velvets and woven fabrics are really in. You can quickly and inexpensively incorporate texture into your space through

the use of pillows and throws.” (triphaenisch.com ) At fall previews, retailers were showing soft throws shot through with metallic threads or embroidered with subtle sequins. Rose gold is the ingénue on the metallics stage; its soft, pink-tinged inish looks new, and you’ll see it on tabletop accessories, lamps, even silverware. Warm brass continues to play a big role, trimming tables, embedded in wooden trays, formed into curvy or linear vases and lamps. It picks up the mid-century vibe but suits traditional spaces too. Chrome and acrylic hit contemporary high notes. On ceramics, you’ll ind reactive and dip glazes, and more matte inishes than ever before. Mercury glass, a décor darling

for the past few seasons, gets a few tweaks with etched patterns and added color.

LIGHT IT UP High-end lighting design has found its way into the midrange market, which means pricier styles at mass-market retailers. Look for shades with crisp geometrics, nubby textures and crewelwork patterns to update lamps for not much money. (target.com ) Pierced metal is showing up in many accents, including lighting. Milky glass pendants look countrymodern. You’ll also ind matte-inish shades with foil interiors that catch light dramatically; Ikea has table and loor lamps with coppery lining. (ikea.com ) A tapered table lamp like the

COLOR CORNER Play with color, Kushnick urges. “There are some gorgeous grays and subtle greens out this fall, and 2014’s radiant orchid and coral add a lush pop almost anywhere,” she says. “You can make a big splash just by updating a wall color or bringing in a few vibrant accent pieces.” You’ll also see carrot, purple, lemon grass, ocher, clove, molasses and olive in throw pillows, bedding and upholstery. Homegoods has a butterscotch leather ottoman, a pretty pink side chair, and a peagreen accent table in its fall collections. (homegoods.com ) PATTERN PLAY Ombre, tile, ziggurat, cinquefoil and iligree patterns grace lamp shades, rugs and drapery. Naive woodland motifs and ’70s-era kitchen prints dress wall art and napery. The newest geometrics and traditional prints are overscale. Responding to the mid-century trend, Ethan Allen has released a collection of Modern Art Master lithographs, including ones by Chagall, Miro, Matisse and Calder. (ethanallen.com )

Travel

There are many ferry boats that take people from town to town among the scenic Norwegian jords.

Picture perfect

From jords to falls, Norway’s beauty beckons the traveler By Samantha Feuss McClatchy-Tribune News Service

ost of us spend nearly the whole day with some sort of technology — in front of a computer, an app on our cellphones, watching the TV to unwind — and that might be why our minds and bodies crave time outdoors so badly that we ind ourselves edgy, depressed, agitated. Just in general out of sorts. When you feel nature calling, answer it. The natural beauty of Norway is stunning everywhere you look. (This is a bonus for the less-then-professional photographers among us, who will ind themselves unable to take a bad photo.) Some of the most amazing sights in Norway revolve around jords (long, narrow arm of the sea bordered by steep clifs: usually formed by glacial erosion — dictionary.com deinition for anyone not familiar with the term). The pristine, unadorned loveliness around every turn is even a bit startling. There are certainly not many places as pleasing to the eye as Norway. Take the famous Flam Railway, which begins at the mountainous Myrdal station on the Bergen railway, all the way down to the Flam station. This is easy to get to from major cities such as Oslo or Bergen as the Flamsbana or Flam Railway corresponds with the trains along the Oslo-Bergen route. Along the way, you will be greeted with some of the most amazing scenery that you will ever have had the pleasure to gaze upon. Books will stay unopened in your backpack, and even your precious smartphones and tablets will be at rest — except perhaps to take a few photos of the memorable landscape. The train stops along the way, letting passengers on or of at several locations — but also it stops for your viewing pleasure. There are points that the train will allow you to get of just for photo ops — which is not only fantastic for shutterbugs, but should also give you an indication of just how glorious the scenery truly is.

Goats graze on the countryside during the Heritage Safari Tour in Norway.

One such “photo-op-stop” was in Kjosfossen. This waterfall (one of the most visited attractions in Norway) is larger than most others you will pass, and it has a deck or platform for viewing and photos to be taken. It also is used to help power the Flam line. How’s that for using your natural resources? In our excitement to take the best photo, we nearly missed an amazing, quite surprising spectacle: In the middle of the waterfalls appeared a woman, dressed in red, dancing as music played — then she jumped behind the rocks — seemingly into the waterfalls. We learned later that she is an actress from the Norwegian ballet school, portraying the legendary Huldra (part-woman, part-animal seductress who lures men to certain doom in Scandinavian folklore) for the summer season. After the “show,” climb back on board the train to your destination of choice. Should you take the train all the way to Flam, you would disembark

The Kjosfossen Waterfall in Norway is one of the most visited in the country, and for good reason.

On the Flam harbor in Norway, you’ll want to suit up for the Heritage Fjord Safari on a rigid inlatable boat. Even in summer, you’ll want to dress for cold weather.

onto a storybook setting. Flam looks to be right out of a picture book or painting — quiet, idyllic and unspoiled. Located on the most inner part of the Aurlandsjord, you will ind yourself surrounded by tall mountains and deep jords. Outdoor enthusiasts and families will love this nature’s paradise, where you cannot only get your ill of the outdoors, but steep yourself in local history, culture and traditional foods as well. When you get to the end of the Flam line, the area is so lovely that you will ind yourself wanting to stay a few days. One of the nicest hotels in the area is the historic Fretheim Hotel, which being located just steps away from the train

stop makes your trip that much easier. Originally a farm and built into a guesthouse in the 1800s (and many times renovated), it boasts locally grown food, historical guest rooms, cozy atmosphere and beautiful views, as it is located upon the Naeroyjord UNESCO World Heritage site. Literally steps away are a local museum, restaurants, shops, tours of the area, and of course the train station and boats. On the Flam harbor, you can take a Heritage Fjord Safari on a RIB boat (rigid inlatable boat — a high speed, high performance, lightweight, inlatable boat), which will give you not only amazing views, but the guide will provide you with

information about the area history and scenery, and oftentimes riders will have the chance to see wildlife such as eagles, seals and porpoises. Your boat will make stops frequently so that your guide can talk with you, as well as for photography and best views of local attractions. Come a bit early, because you will have to “suit up” in protective winter gear — even in summertime. You will wear snowsuit-like gear — a one piece suit to zip into, a hat, mittens and even goggles. It does get colder than I would have thought, and was glad for the clothing provided, although we did look like summer snowmen. Head next to Balestrand, an easy (and beautiful) boat ride from Flam. Here you can see Sognejord, the largest jord in all of Norway, also the second largest in the world. Known as “The King of the Fjords,” it is the longest, deepest in Norway, where you can see the highest mountains in the country as well as the clear green waters of the jord. This area is considered to be one of the most beautiful travel destinations in the world, and has had artists locking to visit for many years. It is one of the most photographed and painted places in Norway. If you are looking for a place to stay in Balestrand, try the Kvikne’s Hotel. A splendid, historic hotel that has been in the same family since 1877, it combines the best of both modern amenities with the charm and Old World elegance that will make one feel instantly relaxed. It ofers the most alluring views of the jord right outside, with doors and windows that are easily opened wide to let the fresh, sweet-smelling air into your room. The food served in the restaurant is quite palate-pleasing, with local foods and specialties served by warm and friendly staf. The Malsnes Aktiv tour agency ofers several diferent versions and trips. It’s a very peaceful time, and a lovely way to see Balestrand, one you will not soon forget. In the area are hiking trails, bike rentals and other opportunities to get back to nature. For the traveler who is seeking adventure, nature or simply beauty, there is simply nothing like Norway.

Several members of the Brownlee family sold insurance and saw that many of the elderly Medicare and Medicaid applicants they worked with had no family and often needed extra care.

They brought food, continence supplies and even purchased a hospital bed which was needed for her care.
