uring Monday night’s Board of Mayor and Aldermen meeting, Maggie Murphy and Kevin Craig with Parade Magazine presented a plaque to Collierville town leaders for winning the 2014 “Best Main Street in America” contest. Earlier this summer, Collierville was chosen from thousands of submissions from readers to compete for the “Best Main Street” crown. Parade Magazine editors narrowed down the ield to the top 16, and each town faced of in an NCAA-style tournament and winners were determined by online voting. The inal results were announced mid-August.

A special reception was held in celebration of winning Parade Magazine’s “Best Main Street in America” title. Mayor Stan Joyner (second from left) and Sen. Mark Norris (third from left) spoke with Parade Magazine’s Maggie Murphy and Kevin Craig.

Students at Houston High School may soon have to earn a grade of 93 instead of a 90 — but will not have an attendance requirement — to be exempt from a inal exam. The proposed change will come before the Ger- Jason mantown Mu- Manuel nicipal School Board in the coming weeks. The board debated the idea in a work session last Wednesday. Supt. Jason Manuel said the current policy, which allows students three absences, encourages students to bank their days and essentially take the entire last week of school. He said students also came to school sick because they wanted to hang on to the days for the end of the year. “The high school administration has said, ‘This has become a problem in the school,’ ” Manuel said. The change from a 90 to a 93 represents a jump from a “B” to a solid “A” grade, Manuel said, and relects a level of comprehension throughout a semester that shows a inal exam would not help a student further. The policy was designed, Manuel said, to encourage attendance, but the question is whether it really had the reverse efect. The board also debated attendance and sick leave policies for personnel.

Charlene Fitzgerald adopted Dusty, a 7-year-old black-and-brown shorthaired dachshund, after his back legs became paralyzed in an accident. Last Saturday, during the irst day of the 43rd annual Germantown Festival, the pair scooted across the arena with Dusty’s back legs in the wheelchair he uses. He won the award for best costume, dressed up as a train. “I adore him,” Fitzgerald said. “I’m proud of him. I think he knew he was doing something that was

Food, vendors and all sorts of crafts and entertainment were found by crowds wandering the site along at the Germantown Civic Club Complex on Poplar Pike next to Germantown High School. Dusty won shortly before the annual race of the dachshunds.

In the News COLLIERVILLE ELECTIONS

‘John Hancock’ signatures add up in local races Prominent figures sign candidates’ petitions By Lela Garlington garlington@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2349

Collierville Town Administrator James Lewellen was the irst to sign his name with as much lare as constitutional signer John Hancock on the nominating petition for political newcomer and Realtor John E. Stamps III.

Stamps also gained signatures from Mayor Stan Joyner, two Collierville aldermen and a Collierville school board member. But do such local high proile signatures matter? Stamps is running for alderman against computer store owner Billy Patton, who is seeking a second four-year term. Stamps, who was going into a meeting, did not return a reporter’s phone call. Patton had state Rep. Curry Todd and two-time Olympic winner Rochelle Stevens sign

his nominating petition. The Patton and Stamps matchup is one of only two contested local races that will be on the November general election ballot. Alderman Tom Allen is facing Greg Cotton. Alderman Maureen Fraser is running unopposed. “This seems like it may be a classic case of targeting opinion leaders,” said University of Memphis Political Science Asst. Professor Eric Groenendyk. Candidates may want those names as a way to inluence

others, he said, adding: “Given that these people are well-connected and politically engaged, they are also the people who are most likely to end up signing any given petition.” The names on the petition often matter more to the candidates than to the general public, said state Sen. Mark Norris of Collierville: “Very few people ever look at the petitions.” Both Lewellen and Joyner said they signed because they were asked and not because they are endorsing anyone.

Alderman Tom Allen, 78, doesn’t believe it matters who signs a candidate’s petition. “Four years ago I even signed my competitor’s petition,” he said. Allen, a retired part-owner and manager in a fertilizing company, is seeking a third term against Cotton, who did not return a reporter’s phone call. Both Allen and Patton signed each other’s petitions. Both men are, at times, at odds with the mayor’s and the administration’s agenda.

As the morning bell rings at Houston High, the faces of two seniors greet their classmates from television screens, introducing the Pledge of Allegiance and rattling of school-related announcements. In less than ive minutes, the show is over, and the high school begins its day. For teacher Drew Hamilton, that means racing from the library, where he controls the playing of the announcements for the school, to the newly converted television studio, where his students are already working on the next day’s show. The studio — formally a plant manager’s oice that was part storage and part repair shop — is a work in progress. The district, committing $350,000 to renovations this year, is still seeking bids for new sets. Purchasing all the desired equipment will take several years. But new computers and sound boards have their own desks in the pristine control room, a former pipe dream for Hamilton, who used to shoot video and edit it in the same room with 16 students. The irst order of business is recording the broadcast. Last Thursday, anchors Olivia Susen and Matthew Taylor plowed through their lines efortlessly, with only one pause when Taylor stumbled over a track coach’s name. “That’s great,” Hamilton told the seniors, smiling with them as they broke their gazes away from the teleprompters. “It’s farther than we’ve gotten all week.”

The recording complete, focus turns to the control room where Hamilton oversees two students who edit the brief clip for sound quality and add in titles and commercial breaks. The students complete the project just within the 53-minute class period. Hamilton has run the school’s television program for ive years. Until this year, the program has been entirely classroom-based with a few cameras to shoot the announcements and commercials for club activities. Now, the students have their own cable channel, full studio, new technology and ininite programming ideas. “They are just giddy about doing stuf that’s actually going to be on television,” Hamilton said. In the Memphis area, Germantown High School’s television station has reigned supreme, wracking up national awards and launching several students into television and ilm careers. With the creation of the new municipal district, the city of Germantown chose to make Houston High School

Ryan Sweeney, Houston’s TV program director, said the goal is not to compete with the Germantown High program, but to ofer students at Houston the same opportunities. “This is how I found out this was something I wanted to do, was participation through high school,” Sweeney said. He said students are enthusiastic to learn the new technology and had the announcements show up and running the second week of school. Students in Houston’s program, called Germantown Municipal Television, or GMTV, are helping ilm and livestream city and school board meetings and will eventually do so without faculty help. Plans are in the works for various programming to focus on local government, theater and community events.

Volume 2, No. 27 The Weekly, a publication of The Commercial Appeal, is delivered free on Thursdays to select residents throughout Germantown and Collierville.

Mailing address:

MAIN from 1 Two other Mid-South cities, Corinth, Miss., and Siloam Springs, Ark., also made the list. Collierville reached the finals by defeating Greenville, S.C.; DeLand, Fla; and Ellicott City, Md. In the inals, Collierville beat out the wine-country town of McMinnville, Ore., located about 45 miles southwest of Portland. Vice Mayor Maureen Fraser said the town is still buzzing with excitement after taking the top spot. “Everyone is still smiling,” Fraser said. Along with being named

“Best Main Street,” Collierville and the Historic Town Square were featured with four-photo, full-page cover story in the Aug. 17 edition of Parade Magazine, which is a supplement in Sunday editions of The Commercial Appeal. A short story about the town also was included. It read, in part, “In the summer, neighbors gather on the Collierville square, a picturesque park at the heart of the community, for free concerts. Local pride springs from the town’s rich history but also its promising future: Since the 1990s, the population has tripled as corporations like FedEx have moved to town, and the local economy is

thriving. “But the success of downtown is no accident. Credit also goes to a roster of programs that promote smart development.” Murphy, who is Parade’s editor-in-chief, said the magazine’s cover story was a great way to show of Collierville to people across the country. Parade has a circulation of more than 30 million. Murphy also praised the Collierville staf for rallying and encouraging residents to vote for their town. After the inal results were tabulated, McMinnville Mayor Rick Olson mailed Collierville Town Administrator Lewellen bottles of wine and congratulated the town for its win.

EXAMS from 1 Chief of staf Dan Haddow said a goal is to increase employee attendance to both lower the costs of hiring substitutes and to keep teachers in front of their classes. Last year, he said, the ive schools had an absentee rate of 5 percent. That number included staf who were absent because they were with students at school-sponsored activities, like athletic or club events. Haddow said the goal is to “change the culture” to increase attendance, while still encouraging teachers and other staf to stay home if they or a family

member are truly sick. An incentive program for both individual teachers and school buildings as a whole are possibilities. “I want to get something going every nine weeks where people are recognized,” Haddow said. If the district uses less than its budgeted amount for substitutes, he said, the extra money could be put back into the school buildings for other projects. Board member Ken Hoover said the emphasis should be as much on the quality of learning as it is cost savings when it comes to substitutes. “When the substitute walks into the classroom, learning stops,” Hoover said.

In the News FESTIVAL from 1 her dogs, 6-year-old Levi and 5-year-old Wrangler, tried to stay dry. “This hasn’t happened in 19 years,” said announcer Tom Dees, as rain drenched the arena. Eventually, the inal race began. A 3-year-old dachshund named Eleanor Rigby was the winner. Owner Julie Cuccia said she rescued Eleanor Rigby, who had been abandoned at six weeks old, and initially planned to ind her a home. “We fell in love with her,” she said. Eleanor Rigby happily licked Cuccia in the face before Goldsworthy awarded them a trophy. Before the popular weenie dog race, the dogs competed in the Best Dressed Hot Dog Contest, where the dogs were escorted by their owners on a stroll around the arena showing of their creative costumes. Dusty, a rescue dachshund dressed up as a train took irstplace in the contest. “It’s (weenie race) really fun. It’s not really meant to be a competitive event by any means,” said Alina Lesniak, animal services manager for the Germantown Animal Shelter. “It’s more for entertainment value than anything else. It is deinitely more for the owners. Some owners take it more serious than others. I would say the crowd and everybody enjoys it.” Freelance reporter Kim Odom contributed to this story.

Special to The Weekly

St. George’s Independent School recently opened the Science and Innovation Lab for lower school students at the Germantown campus. Borrowing from processes used in the engineering and technology ields, the lab facilitates brainstorming and working in small groups to solve problems in creative and unconventional ways. Similar labs are planned for the Memphis and Collierville campuses. Modeled after innovation labs at top universities, the St. George’s Science and Innovation Lab is an open, industrial space that features workbench-style tables with paper rolls, glass marker boards, trough sinks for water experiments, a 3-D printer that creates threedimensional objects and a small groups

room. Everything in the room is built on wheels so the room coniguration can change to meet student needs. “We wanted to create a dynamic work space with unconventional features to spark creativity and get our students thinking about things in new, exciting ways,” said early childhood director Steward Burgess. “The open space implies an open, limitless range of ideas to be explored rather than ideas that are boxed into conventional thinking.” Students visit the lab weekly to explore, observe, and build upon their unit of study in the classroom. As an extension of their science unit on plants, for example, students in junior kindergarten are building worm habitats in the lab to observe how worms dig tunnels to facilitate getting air and water to plant roots. They will then release

the worms in the garden they will design next week. For their unit study on penguins, second-graders visited the lab to explore conditions under which ice will melt. “The Science and Innovation Lab is the culmination of a shift in the way we are educating students in order to prepare them for the 21st century workplace,” Burgess continued. “Beginning at an early age, we are teaching higher order critical thinking and developing metacognitive skills through design thinking, similar to how engineers approach and solve problems.” Design thinking emphasizes the observation and identiication of human needs. The irst step in developing the best solution to a problem is to explore the end user’s emotions, motivations and behaviors. Lainie Crose is the assistant director of marketing and communications with St. George’s Independent School.

BOOKS FROM BIRTH

Special to The Weekly

The Governor’s Books from Birth Tour Bus will be rolling into Collierville Monday where First Lady Crissy Haslam will make an appearance at the Collierville Burch Library. The bus tour is celebrating the 10th anniversary of Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library in Tennessee, which has mailed more than 20 million books to children all over the state. The festivities, sponsored by the Friends of the Library, will take place at the Collierville Burch Library, 501 Poplar View Pkwy., from 12:301:30 p.m. and will include food, face painting, Paws for Reading therapy dogs, a train ride and giveaways from the Books from Birth Foundation. In addition to Haslam, the Mayor and

Board of Aldermen and supporters from the Books from Birth Foundation and Collierville Burch Library will be in attendance. The Governor’s Books from Birth Foundation partners with Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library to manage the statewide implementation of the program’s vision to “foster a love of reading among preschool children and their families by providing them with the gift of a book each month, regardless of their family’s income, from birth to age three.” In 2004, the Governor’s Books from Birth Foundation was created to support and help sustain the Imagination Library to serve Tennessee’s 95 counties.

Would you like to take a tour of a ireighter’s second home? As part of the public education program, the Collierville Fire Department ofers irehouse tours from the town’s very own ireighters. Groups are welcome to tour any of Collierville’s ive irehouses or the Fire Administration Headquarters. During the 30-45 minute tour, children will get to see the ireighters’ kitchen, living room, sleeping quarters and garage where they view and climb on the trucks. In addition to the hands-on experience of

seeing the irehouses and equipment, the groups also learn about ire prevention and safety. To schedule a tour, email colliervillefire@ ci.collierville.tn.us or call the fire administration at 901-457-2400 at least two weeks prior to the requested date. To see the complete list of information needed to book a tour, visit the Collierville Fire Department’s website at colliervillefd.org/Home_ Page/Fire_Station_Tours. Keep in mind that the Collierville Fire Department’s schedule can be unpredictable in the event of an emergency situation.

During a puppet show at the Collierville Burch Library in late June, children as well as adults pulled books from the shelves and stood atop them for a better view of the performance that attracted almost 400 patrons. That is just one example of how popular programs end up spilling into the aisles because of a lack of programming space for large crowds. Over the past several weeks, library oicials sought suggestions and ideas from school librarians, teens, the staf and the community at large on what they would want if the space is expanded at the Lucius E. and Elsie C. Burch, Jr. Library. So far, the town has set aside no money for a major capital improvement expansion for the library. “It will be at least ive years before we move any dirt,” said Josh Suddath, assistant town administrator. “Once the design concepts are inished, it will be easier to do fundraising and help explain our vision.” Focus group leaders heard a number of suggestions starting with the word “more” — as in more programming space, seating, study rooms and materials. Other library users wanted a gas-burning ireplace with comfortable chairs and sofas to curl up and read and a space just for teens to hang out — away from

the children’s area. “At some point books may become antiquated,” suggested Kathleen Bradley, president of the Friends of the Library group. “We need to be forward thinking. I can see the library with a café, a tech center, spaces for tutorials, entrepreneurship with 3-D printers, gardens and a demonstration kitchen.” She added, “I think we could easily improve our children’s area for this family-friendly town where story time would be more than sitting in a bland room, but sitting in hammocks, under palm trees or a tree house.” When it opened in 2001, the town’s population was about 33,000 compared to about 48,000 in population now. The library at 501 Poplar View Parkway sits across the street from Town Hall and is a part of the larger complex of Halle Park.

The town hired Haizlip Studio of Memphis for $75,000 to lead the focus groups and draw up a feasibility study and conceptual plans for an expansion. The Friends group donated $25,000 for the project. As the town has grown, so has the demand for library programs and materials. The library now houses 130,000 books, magazines, movies and other materials in a space designed for just over 62,000 items. Program attendance has more than tripled from 4,045 to 13,497 annually. The number of library card holders has climbed to more than 34,000. Almost 3,300 people reserved the study rooms last year. Collierville’s library, at 26,000 square feet, is among the smallest in building size compared to other Tennessee suburban cities.

“I

could do that.” Kathy Ruin has probably lost count of the number of times she’s heard her 24-year-old son, Brent, say that. But that last time, well, it made the Millington man a national cult hero with a nickname only a Southern Momma could love. Brent Ruin: Redneck Ninja. That moniker, the ability to hold on to several precarious midair handles and a serious set of six-pack abs have gotten Brent his 15 minutes of NBC network fame and social media glory on the alternate-universe competition show “American Ninja Warrior.” In its sixth season, ANW is an ofshoot of a long-running Japanese TV series, “Sasuke.” Regional contestants try to tackle a course of a half-dozen obstacles devised by a uniquely sadistic bunch. It’s capped by a 10-foot warped wall that must be vaulted with no handhold. Survive that, and four even nastier tests are added in the inals. The competitors don’t know what’s waiting for them until they see it — and they get no warm-up run. The top 15 survivors in ive regions move on to a four-stage test in Las Vegas. The winner earns the title American Ninja Warrior and $500,000. The only thing is, there has been no winner to date. In 30 years of trying, only three have conquered the Sasuke challenge in Japan. “All of us are on a mission,” said Brent. He added that his father, Chuck, “always wants to know when I’m going to get a real job.” But Mom’s OK with this, she said. She’s watched her son’s odyssey through baseball, football, soccer, wrestling, rugby, boxing and mixed martial arts — which led to his current job as a trainer and co-owner with Noel Howe of CrossKick itness in Atoka. “I hated MMA,” she said. “I spent all those years making sure he was OK, and I had to go watch him get punched in the face. But one day he was watching ‘Ninja Warriors’ ...” Brent’s girlfriend, Lauren Ritchie, remembers that night in front of the tube, “He said ‘I could do that.’ I told him he ought to try out. He’s always looking for something way out (there) to do.” A new goal, and identity, was forged as Brent put together his audition tape that displayed his physique and bravado — wood

Brent Ruin, aka “Redneck Ninja,” already has his sights set on the 2015 American Ninja Warrior national inals in Las Vegas.

BRENT RUFFIN Age: 24 Height-Weight: 6-0, 180 pounds. Nickname: The Redneck Ninja Residence: Millington Education: Munford High School, two years at Dyersburg State (majoring in sports science) Business: Co-owns Cross-Kick Kick Boxing and Cross Training in Atoka Past athletic pursuits: Competed in football, soccer, wrestling and rugby in high school. For a time, was a boxer, and then an MMA fighter. American Ninja Warrior: Has competed in the last two seasons of “American Ninja Warrior,” competing in regional competitions in Miami (2013) and St. Louis (2014). Advanced to regional finals in St. Louis. Hobbies, Sidelines: An avid hunter and member of the Memphis Grizzlies’ Kings of the Court dunk team. Goals: To reach the Ninja Warrior national finals in Las Vegas and to go on a bow hunt for elk.

chopping, kick boxing, bow hunting, hurling a large iron wagon wheel like a Frisbee or hurtling of a trampoline, basketball in hand (he’s a member of the Memphis Grizzlies dunk squad). Friends told Brent he needed a nickname and Redneck Ninja was launched into cyberspace. “It got blown up on Twitter and Instagram,” he said. “Got a couple of interesting texts from PETA folks, but I get a great response when I go to Walmart.”

A year ago in Miami, Brent went out early on a contraption called the Pole Slider. This year, he got through the St. Louis prelims and made it up the Warped Wall in the city inals, but then took a dip in the pool of water below something called the Salmon Ladder. “I knew my arms were done, but I made it up four rungs, with one to go,” he recalled. “I missed with my left side, tried to correct and my arms went out. No excuses.” Well, maybe one. The taping was done after midnight in mid-April, after an early-spring cold front delivered 50s temps with a Chicago-esque gale. “We couldn’t feel our toes or noses. I don’t know how he could grip anything,” said Kathy Ruin, who watched below with her husband, her daughter, Blake, and Ritchie. Getting dunked in that faux jord is the motivation behind Brent’s 2015 preparation. He’s also reaching for a level of itness that he is just now starting to comprehend. “I’m in the absolute best shape of my life,” Brent said. “But I’ve lifted weights all the years I’ve competed in sports, and I’m too big and bulky (6-0, 180) to really be efective on these courses. It’s more about agility, upper body strength, balance and enough leg strength (to push of in key spots). The little lea-hoppers do better.” Bobby Zavala is a Nashville-based Ninja Warrior who has built an obstacle course that Ruin and other hopefuls visit as often as they can. The Redneck Ninja hopes this year’s training tour will get him to other courses in Atlanta and New Jersey.

Collierville quarterback Alex Hicks looks for an open receiver during last Friday’s game with Germantown. The Dragons will play at Cordova this Friday, while Germantown travels to Briarcrest.

The Collierville fans enjoy the action on and of the ield during last’s Friday’s game against Germantown.

COLLIERVILLE 14, GERMANTOWN 7

Collierville edges Germantown Dragons’ win on TD run in inal minute By Pete Wickham Special to The Weekly

Between Germantown’s game-tying touchdown by Rodney Williams, and Ed Pomphrett’s scoring run with 24 seconds to play that broke the tie and gave visiting Collierville a 14-7 win over its rival, there was an eternity of frustration and bitten nails crammed into eight minutes. “It wasn’t pretty, but we kept battling and found a way,” said Dragons’ coach Mike O’Neal, who was left drenched, and drained, by the evening’s heavy humidity and the endless succession of potential turning points in the District 15-AAA opener. The Dragons (2-1, 1-0), who had lost quarterback/punter Alex Hicks to a knee injury midway through the third quarter, got the last set of breaks with two minutes to play. Germantown mishandled a punt that Collierville’s Skyler Crouch recovered just beyond midield. The Red Devils were also called for a sideline violation as an assistant coach stepped onto the ield and got tangled with an oficial. It was the last, and costliest, of more than 150 yards in penalties for winless Germantown (03, 0-1). “We battled, but we were our own worst enemy with penalties tonight,” Germantown coach Charlie White said. The Dragons converted a key third-down on a pass from sophomore Parker Moss to Drew Van de Vuurst. On the next play, junior Pomphrett ran it in from 11 yards out for the win. “I don’t think my feet touched the ground the last ive yards,” Pomphrett said of the pinball play. “Coach got into us pretty good at halftime and we came out more focused.” Focus was a relative term this night, as neither team cracked 200 yards in total ofense, and both sides had just one real scoring chance in the irst half, Collierville missing a ield goal try and Germantown running out of time while inside the Dragon’s 20-yard line. “Both defenses did a good job tonight. I was really happy with the way

8:19 left in the fourth quarter. After that? Germantown was penalized three times before inally kicking of on its 15. Collierville couldn’t move, and backup punter Alex Hall’s knee hit the ground at midield as he tried to ield a low snap. Germantown drove to the Dragons’ 12, but was stufed on fourth down by senior Josh Dorsey. Collierville went three-and-out — before the Devils’ punt misplay and penalty.

our front seven dominated,” O’Neil said of his unit, led by senior defensive end Korderic Taylor who had two sacks. But Hicks struggled mightily as a passer, and punter. He was just 2-of14 for 19 yards, with an interception by Ken Wilson (who also had a sack). Hicks had a irst-half punt blocked by Josh Puryear, then left the game after a near-block of another kick led to a roughing call, and an injury that O’Neal hoped was only a mild hyperextension. That move led to the Dragons’ Van de Vuurst moving from wideout to running back long enough to ind a seam for a 55-yard touchdown run that broke a scoreless tie in the inal two minutes of the third quarter. “Saw the defense moving one way, made a cut and there was open space,” Van de Vuurst

Youth basketball league sign ups

Recently Kathi Wright, education director at the Kyle W. Kiihnl Memorial Foundation, spoke to the members of the Rotary Club of Germantown. Wright talked about the drowsy driving and how her nephew, Kyle, lost his life to a driver that fell asleep at the wheel. She talked about the warning signs of drowsy driving including, trouble focusing, yawing and rubbing your eyes repeatedly. During the meeting, Wright also spoke with Rotarian Jim Pope (left) and Rotarian Bob Mills. The Rotary Club of Germantown meets Wednesdays at noon at Southwind Country Club. For information, call Vijay Surpuriya at 901-210-6039.

The last day to sign up for early registration for the youth basketball league is Sept. 30. Late registration is Oct. 1-15. The league is open to boys ages 6-16 and girls ages 6-14. Practices begin in November and games will be December through March. The cost is $110 per player for Germantown residents and $154 for nonresidents. Children of head coaches will receive a discount. There will be an additional $10 fee for those who register late. Germantown kids need to bring a proof of residency and a copy of their birth certificate. Nonresidents need only a copy of the childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s birth certificate.

Co-hosted by Hospice Advantage, the party also celebrated all the August residentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; birthdays. Dressing up for the party are Lisa Bobal, Howell and Bobby Ferguson.
