ARBOR DAY

Seed of success 500 trees quickly given away in Germantown By Craig Collier Special to The Weekly

The City of Germantown held its 15th annual Arbor Day Tree Giveaway with 500 dogwood tree seedlings handed out to Germantown residents. Mild temperatures and sunny skies brought out those seeking trees en masse as all 500 trees were given away within 20 minutes. Even though Arbor Day is oficially celebrated April 25, Germantown’s tree giveaway came early this year and was combined with a fruit tree sale at the Bobby Lanier Farm Park. This was the irst year the fruit tree sale was held. The annual tree giveaway is a joint efort of the Germantown Tree Board, the Germantown Beautiication Commission and the Germantown Parks and Recreation Commission. This year marks the 23rd year since the city of Germantown was irst designated a Tree City USA community. According to Sidney Kuehn, chairman of the Germantown Tree Board, there

are several requirements that must be met to be designated as a “Tree City.” “The community must maintain a tree board or department, there must be a community tree ordinance in place, a minimum spending limit of at least $2 per capita on urban forestry, and we must celebrate Arbor Day,” Kuehn said. Kuehn has achieved a Master Urban Forester designation from the Arbor Day Foundation. Both the tree giveaway and the

fruit tree sale featured members of the beautiication commission, the tree board and the parks and recreation commission who were experts on the subjects of trees, forestry and gardening. At one point during the tree giveaway Kuehn could be heard giving advice on the best way to be rid of beavers from ponds, lakes and streams. His advice was to buy a couple of inlatable alligators and the beavers will move out quickly.

Supt. Jason Manuel said Germantown city officials reached out to him Friday afternoon to tell him about the promise made to the state legislature before he was hired in December. Early hearings in Nashville about the creation of municipal schools included testimony promising the districts would not charge tuition, a point raised by state Rep. Curry Todd, R-Collierville. Manuel and the board members present also expressed concerns that the tuition decision might havedelayed U.S. Dist. Judge Samuel “Hardy” Mays’ inal approval of the schools settlement.

In the News COLLIERVILLE SCHOOLS

Oicials consider plan to bus students to Germantown By Lela Garlington garlington@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2349

Collierville school board chairman Mark Hansen indicated Tuesday night that Collierville oicials have discussed paying an undetermined fee for busing Collierville students who want to stay at Houston High or Houston Middle in Germantown. Hansen said he wants to avoid a potential traic gridlock along Wolf River Boulevard resulting from Collierville students or

their parents driving to those two schools, which are within a few blocks of each other. No interlocal agreement has been reached between the two municipal school districts. “We haven’t put an ofer on the table,” Hansen said, but he and Collierville Supt. John Aitken said they are optimistic such an agreement can be reached in light of Germantown rescinding its vote Friday night to charge non-Germantown students tuition. Germantown had initially voted to charge nonresidents

$200 per student or a $500 cap for families. “The removal of the tuition component has cleared the single biggest impediment to our ability to reach an agreement, in my view,” Hansen said. “While the terms are still being developed, we will ask Germantown to consider provisions to allow Collierville students currently enrolled in HMS and HHS to be given a seat at those schools until they reach an ‘exit grade,’ or graduation from those schools.” Paying for busing children to

schools is similar to what Lakeland is doing with the Arlington and Bartlett school districts. Lakeland, which has only an elementary school, has agreed to pay roughly $137 per student for those who will be attending Arlington schools and $150 per student those who will be attending a Bartlett middle school. In other action Tuesday, the board unanimously approved new attendance zones for the eight Collierville schools; an agreement for shared planning services with the hiring of Nedra Jones, who will be

based in Bartlett; and the hiring of Evans Petree law irm as its legal counsel. Mike Marshall of Collierville will be the school board’s attorney. At least for some Collierville parents, Germantown’s actions of waiving tuition may have come too late. “When they initiated the tuition, it created a divide between Germantown and Collierville,” said Collierville parent Stephanie Sinn. Her son, a ninth-grader at Houston High, will be transferring to Collierville High.

MORTON MUSEUM OF COLLIERVILLE HISTORY

Zoning for liquor stores expanded By Jennifer Pignolet pignolet@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2372

Karen Pulfer focht/ the commercial aPPeal

An exhibit “Photographs from Parr’s Studio: Images of Collierville 100 Years Ago” will be featured in an opening from 5 to 7 p.m. today at Morton Museum of Collierville History, where museum director Ashley Carver prepares the photos. said. “It shows what made the town tick.”

The past in pictures Museum to host opening for exhibition providing glimpse of life in the early 1900s By Lela Garlington garlington@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2349

From her second-story photo studio, Elizabeth “Bessie” Dean Parr aimed her camera outside the window, capturing the hustle and bustle of Collierville’s Town Square in the early 1900s. There are boys wearing knickers and men hauling cotton bales on wagons along dirt streets. Mules and horses pulling carriages are tied to a fence post. During the Jim Crow era, Parr, a white woman married to a dentist with two small children, made portraits of many black people as well. Whoever posed, she showed a sensitivity and dignity and often used the same props. There’s a man in overalls sitting in front of his home. A girl holds a live rabbit. A well-dressed couple stand in front of a studio swing. From 5 until 7 p.m. today, the Morton Museum of Collierville History and the Collierville Arts Council are hosting an opening of Parr’s work at the white brick museum at the corner of Main and Poplar.

“Photographs from Parr’s Studio: Images of Collierville 100 years ago,” will be on display until May 17, along with art by Rebecca Shellabarger, and art by Carol Hamm at Harrell Theatre. Parr’s 1907 studio-view camera, original glass plate negatives and artifacts from Collierville life during the 1910s also will be on display. “I really wish Bessie had kept a journal. We don’t know why she took up photography. There’s a family story that Bessie’s mother didn’t like her working in the darkroom because the chemicals were messing up her hands,” said Katie Parr, 33. Bessie was her husband’s great-grandmother. It was Katie Parr’s father, Richard Broer, and his wife, Jill, who helped salvage the glass-plate negatives in 1982. Bessie Parr’s son, Dr. William Dean Parr, had given Broer boxes of the negatives his mother had taken decades ago. The boxes had been stored in a barn and damaged. Only about a fourth of them survived. It was Katie Parr who took on the project by publishing a book of Bessie’s work, along with a private exhibition in 2007.

This is one of the photos that will be on display shot by Bessie Dean Parr during the early 1900s in Collierville.

Until digital technology came along, Broer said it was diicult to work with glass negatives. “This gives the town’s history of what we are building on,” Broer said. “She treated all with great dignity and pride.” Whatever Bessie Parr’s reasons for taking up photography, the show gives a peek at the town’s past and proiles its people.

Shopping centers like Germantown Village Square and the Shops of Forest Hill could soon be home to liquor stores after the Germantown Board of Mayor and Aldermen on Monday approved legislation expanding the zoning for liquor stores. The vote was 4-1, with Alderman John Drinnon the single dissenting vote. No aldermen or members of the public spoke before the vote. The legislation, which city officials previously called “housekeeping,” increases by about 50 percent the number of acres in the city that would be zoned to include liquor stores. The city previously allowed liquor and wine stores to operate in the Commercial 2 district, which accounts for 162.4 acres. The new legislation adds the shopping center district’s 77.6 acres as an area where liquor stores could open. The total number of liquor stores allowed in the city will not change. Alderman Forrest Owens previously said the matter had two purposes. The irst was to match the alcoholic beverage ordinance to the city’s zoning code, which was changed in 2007 to allow liquor stores in most shopping areas. The second was to add the rest of the shopping district to the code. Owens said he was conident change wouldn’t create a windfall of liquor store applications. “I don’t think one or two more would hurt anyone, and might foster a little bit of economic development and some competition as well, ” he said.

TUITION from 1 “The last thing that we would want to do would be anything to jeopardize the start of our school system,” Manuel said. Manuel called board president Lisa Parker around 4:30 p.m. March 7 to ask if the board could hold an emergency meeting. He didn’t know if the new information would change board members’ minds, but he thought the whole board needed to hear it. At the meeting, The Commercial Appeal registered the concern that the hastily called meeting was in violation of the state’s Sunshine law. The Open Meetings Act requires that “adequate public notice” of regular and special meetings must be given. Parker said an announcement was posted online about 3½ hours before the 8 p.m. meeting. Board members Parker, Linda Fisher and Natalie Williams voted against the fee. Williams said she was

motivated to change her vote due to the new concerns from Manuel, not any political inluences. Parker said both Hoover and Dely initially told her they would attend but then sent her text messages saying they would not. During board work sessions, both men were adamant that a nominal fee was fair, as Germantown residents would have to foot a portion of the bill for nonresidents. Manuel, who opposed the tuition fee, was troubled by Hoover’s and Dely’s absence. “I feel like I’m being held hostage,” Manuel said. “I feel like they made a choice not to come tonight just for this reason.” Neither Dely nor Hoover could be reached for comment. Parker said after the meeting the vote helps the district save face in the wake of controversy over the irst tuition vote. She added that there was validity to concerns that the tuition could have torpedoed the municipal schools agreement. “Not only are we im-

peding ourselves, we’re impeding the other municipalities,” Parker said during the meeting. “That’s my fear. And I think we need to take a hard look at that.” The board’s attorney, Steve Shields, agreed. He said Friday the judge could have looked at the tuition as a barrier for approving the inal schools agreement. The emergency meeting came two days after Todd criticized the Germantown school board’s decision to charge nonresidents tuition. Todd said Dr. Jim Mitchell, retired Shelby County Schools superintendent and now school consultant, and others testiied there would be no tuition or fee for those currently enrolled in schools that would be included in municipal districts. Monday’s vote was for a $200 tuition for nonresidents, including those students who already attend the soon-to-be Germantown municipal schools. There was a family cap of $500, and students requiring aid could apply for a waiver.

In the News BOUNDARIES

MUNICIPAL SCHOOLS LAWSUIT

School zoning angers parents SCS braces for more questions By Jane Roberts robertsj@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2512

Shelby County Schools made some friends with its school rezoning proposals in the rural areas around Shelby Forest. The easy part is over. School officials are now preparing for gritty, emotional nights — like they encountered March 6 in Cordova — as parents see, close up, what it really means to live outside the cities and towns that will be running municipal schools next year. For Larry Wolowski, who’s raising a 6-year-old granddaughter, it’s a mix of disbelief and anger. He and his wife moved to South Cordova two years ago. When the area was annexed (he says illegally), his granddaughter had to change schools. Now, the plan is that she’ll go to another school next year, more than 7 miles away. “We moved here with the idea of living in the unincorporated area. Memphis raised our taxes. We were planning to send our child to Riverdale. Now, we are told we cannot. It’s tough,” he said. Debbie Bounds is more direct: “Please, if something can be worked out, you need to consider our children. … With all these changes they are having to go through, this right here I feel is just not necessary. We purchased a home because of where we were told our children could go to school. It feels like a stab in the back. We love where we are … This is hard. This is very hard. It seems so unfair,” she said to an auditorium illed with applause. Her children, now at Houston High and Collierville Middle, are scheduled to transfer to Germantown High, twice as far away. The challenge for the school district is transferring thousands of students to the nearest SCS campus, which sometimes will mean leapfrogging around a land mass the size of Bartlett or Germantown. The district is also trying to avoid splitting neighborhoods, transferring students to poorer-performing schools and creating attendance boundaries out of sync with natural boundaries. Those goals are not always achievable, district planner Denise Sharpe told parents at Cordova High School Thursday. Parents say they can’t get answers about how many seats may be available in the municipal districts, and if there are seats, how long their children will be able to stay. For 145 children at highperforming Bailey Station Elementary in Collierville, the proposed alternative is Highland Oaks, where 46 percent of children are at grade level in math and an even smaller percentage are on par in reading. Children assigned to Mt. Pisgah Middle from highperforming Collierville Middle will be in a school where about half the children read and write at grade level.

Lengthy school legal battle is over Judge Mays grants dismissal

didn’t understand why it was taking so long,” Bartlett Mayor Keith McDonald said as he answered the phone in Washington, where he is attending the National League of Cities meeting. Litigation costs appear to be nearly $5 million. The legal battle involved an array of parties from the state to the county commission, Memphis City Council and all six suburban governments. The commission brought a third-party complaint “on behalf of the schoolchildren of Shelby County” that alleged “violations of state and federal laws, including violations of the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.” Once the sides reached the settlement involving all of the terms, including the school buildings, that seemed to leave the inal decision for Mays to grant the order.

School registration dates set By Lela Garlington and Jennifer Pignolet garlington@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2349; pignolet@commercialappeal.com, 901-529-2372

Germantown and Collierville residents looking to enroll students in municipal school districts must come to zoned school’s residential enrollment nights to claim a place for the upcoming 2014-15 year. The nights for Germantown residents are March 18 and 20. The Collierville school nights are March 24, 25 and 27. Nonresidents and residents wishing to attend a school other than their zoned school will go through a separate transfer process, but should still attend their zoned school’s registration night. Germantown: Germantown Municipal District’s director of student services Chauncey Bland said the

registration days do not replace the mandatory July registration when students get their bus and teacher assignments. Once they know how many spaces they will need for Germantown residents, they will know how many spaces remain for nonresidents. The transfer process for both Germantown residents and nonresidents will be diferent, beginning March 18 and will ending April 4. Collierville: In Collierville, the registration nights are aimed at families living within the city limits of Collierville, along with families who have a shared residence in the town. Those who are currently zoned to a Collierville school and seek a transfer to another Collierville school must ill out a transfer application, as well as the enrollment packet and bring it to the

desired school. The priority list deadline is April 4 and appears on the Collierville nonresident application. Nonresident families should not report for Collierville residential enrollment night.

U.S. Dist. Judge Samuel “Hardy” Mays granted a joint request Monday to dismiss the legal case regarding the formation of municipal schools, ending the lengthy battle over education in Shelby County. In the order, the judge said he reviewed the terms of the agreements and inds them reasonable. Those agreements involve the accords reached between the Shelby County Schools Board and the six municipalities forming their own schools this summer. The agreement included financial considerations paid to the county to settle the matter in exchange for the suburbs receiving the school buildings within their boundaries. The reaction from the suburban side was one of relief and excitement. “There were times I

Students put on special program for Town staf, parents, teachers By Virginia Dawson Special to The Weekly

On Feb. 27, Tara Oaks Elementary hosted the second annual “Time for Tennessee” event. The celebration was entertaining as well as educational. Students and faculty enjoyed decorating the hallways and preparing for the grand event. It was a great hands-on learning experience and the children benefited by learning a great deal about Collierville and the State of Tennessee. The weeklong learning lesson began with a classroom tour of the Time for Tennessee room. The room, staged with several learning stations, was filled with games, bigger-than-life-size maps and tons of Tennessee information! Shannon Shivers, PTA vice president of cultural arts, designed the room and worked to develop a lesson plan. During the event, students and faculty arrived to school dressed in red, white and blue. The festivities began with a parade of dignitaries through the halls of the school. The Boy Scouts led the learning parade followed by Tara Oaks administrators, Mayor Stan Joyner, Collierville Superintendent John Aitken and Collierville School Board representatives. Students cheered and

were given high fives as the Collierville dignitaries twisted and turned through the elaborately decorated hallways. After the conclusion of the parade, the Collierville dignitaries participated in a question-and-answer session with fifth grade students. The fifth graders posed a host of questions to the superintendent and board members. A few of these are, “Will we have school uniforms or

a new dress code?” and “Is there any way of having free recess time in middle school?” Students from the Collierville High School production department were on hand to film the event. During the evening, the school held an open house for families and the community. Artwork was on display in the hallways of the main building and special Collierville exhibits were featured in the cafeteria. Fifth graders dressed as famous Tennesseans were stationed throughout the school to provide educational information to attendees. At 6 p.m. everyone assembled in the gym for the PTA meeting and special Time for Tennessee performance. Principal Tricia Marshall welcomed Aitken and Municipal School Board members Wanda Chism, Mark Hansen and Cathy Messerly. After a brief introduction, attendees were entertained by student performances under the direction of Judy Brauninger. PTA Life Time Achievement Awards were presented to faculty members Joan Martin, Marty Barber and PTA board members Jan Gould and Zena Granger.

Family LIVING WITH CHILDREN

Days with Dad

Trust in patience for potty training By John Rosemond MCT Information Service

been using the Q I’ve method described in

THE ISLAND PACKET

Nate Ulmer, left, holds still while daughter Jorja, 5, and son Hunter, 2, right, work on a chalk outline to “draw daddy” as niece Krystal, 5, and his wife, Cathy, watch behind the family’s home.

Stay-at-home father of two just ‘enjoys being a parent’ By Amy Coyne Bredeson The Island Packet (Hilton Head Island, S.C.)

ILTON HEAD, S.C. — When Nate Ulmer takes his children to the playground during the day, he is usually the only father there. If there are mothers around, they don’t talk to him, which makes him feel a little out of place — but he doesn’t let it bother him. “I’m not going to bring up Tupperware or anything like that,” he said with a laugh. Ulmer, a Blufton, S.C., resident, is one of many men who have taken on the role of stay-at-home dad. He cares for Jorja, 5, and Hunter, 3, while his wife, Cathy, goes to work as a pharmacist. They’re expecting their third child in May. Most people Nate knows say it’s pretty awesome that he gets to stay at home with the children. His buddies pick on him sometimes, but he doesn’t care. He knows they’re just messing with him. “I just enjoy being a parent,” he said. “I’ve witnessed a lot of dads (who) just don’t like being a parent at all.” According to the U.S. Census Bureau, in 2012 about 189,000 fathers stayed at home with their children while their wives worked. Brad Harrington, executive director of the Boston College Center for Work & Family, said there are two main reasons fathers decide to stay at home to care for their children: First, they like the idea of having one parent at home to raise the children if possible. Second, the decision about who should stay at home depended on who made less money. In most cases, Harrington said, the mothers made signiicantly more money or had the potential to make more money than the fathers. Those reasons were the most common given in the center’s 2012 national study of 31 men who stay at home with their children. The study found that many stay-at-home fathers do worry about how others perceive them, though. The survey asked the men how they respond when they meet new people who ask what they do for a living.

Most said they were stay-at-home fathers. Some said they would answer the question with what they used to do and add that they are home with the children for a little while. “Once they get past that, a lot of the guys said that what they’re doing now is tremendously meaningful,” Harrington said. Dave Scheifele of Blufton has been a stay-at-home dad since his daughter, Elizabeth, was born four years ago. A retired ireighter, paramedic and psychiatric nurse, Scheifele is not able to work a full-time job because of injuries sustained on the job. He does work parttime from home, doing IT consulting while caring for Elizabeth. Scheifele said he doesn’t really get reactions from people when he tells them what he does. “I think society has changed to where there’s a lot more women in the working world and there’s a lot more stay-at-home dads,” he said. In the Boston College study, the wives of stay-at-home fathers were also surveyed. What they found was that most of the men are married to ambitious, well-educated professional women. The wives were incredibly positive about their husbands raising the children. In all cases except one, the women couldn’t say enough about how grateful they were for having one parent at home. They said their own careers could lourish because of it. Scheifele’s wife, Alison, is a security clerk at Wexford Plantation on Hilton Head

Island, S.C. She stayed home for about six weeks after the baby was born. Then Dave took over. “Who doesn’t want to be home?” she said. “But then again, after two days home on the weekend, I’m kind of ready to go back to work.” Nate knew for years he would be the primary caretaker for his children. When he and Cathy were dating more than a decade ago, they knew they wanted to have kids. Cathy was in school to be a pharmacist, and Nate worked many jobs, including surveying land for about 10 years. He said he never found a job he enjoyed. So they decided then that Cathy would be the breadwinner, and Nate would stay at home with their future children. “We planned a lot of stuf out,” Nate said. “(We) wanted to make sure everything was just right for our children.” Neither Dave nor Nate had dreams of being stay-at-home dads when they were growing up, but such a title probably didn’t even exist back then. When Nate was a child, he thought he would end up working in a factory when he grew up. He does work one day a week at Messex One Stop Service in Blufton. But he never imagined he’d be spending six days a week caring for small children. Meanwhile, Dave dreamed of becoming an astronaut. His plan was to join the Air Force because that was the irst step to get into the astronaut program. Unfortunately, he was turned down because of a bad knee. As far as going back to work full-time, Nate said, “I keep myself busy enough to not worry about that.” Dave admits that sometimes he feels isolated not socializing with other adults much during the day. But Dave said the beneits of being a stay-at-home dad far outweigh the pitfalls, and he wouldn’t trade it for the world. He has a 17-year-old son, William, from a previous marriage and worked a lot when William was a baby. So when Elizabeth came along, he really wanted to be at home with her. “I jumped at the chance,” he said. “I get to have the irst years of molding my daughter.”

For good dental health, start young to develop healthy habits By Ina Paiva Cordle The Miami Herald

MIAMI — Johanna Evers, 6, has a routine each morning and night: She brushes her teeth, losses and rinses with luoridated mouthwash. She also has been visiting a dentist for twiceyearly cleanings since she was 2. “I’m thinking of my daughter’s future,” said her mother, Brigid McKeon, 43, who takes Johanna to Miami Children’s Hospital’s Pediatric Dental Center in Doral, Fla. “I want her to be able to carry it on when she gets older and has her own family.” Dental hygiene is a vital part of overall health, dentists and doctors say. According to the Surgeon General’s Report on Oral Health in America, oral diseases and disorders affect health and well-being throughout one’s life.

In fact, a research study — in which doctors at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine participated — has linked periodontal (gum) disease to a heightened risk of heart attack and stroke. Other research has linked poor dental health to Alzheimer’s disease. It all points to the importance of brushing, flossing and visiting a dentist regularly, starting in infancy. “Cavities can happen as early as nine months of age,” said Dr. Rosie Roldan, director of the Pediatric Dental Center at Miami Children’s Hospital and director of its pediatric dental residency program. “The teeth start erupting at six months, so they haven’t been in the mouth three months before we can start seeing cavities.” Roldan advises parents to bring their children to

the dentist beginning at 12 months, and every six months after that. Parents should also ensure that their children’s teeth are brushed twice a day, as soon as the irst tooth appears. That creates a habit, so children grow up to not be resistant to brushing. “Prevention is key,” Roldan said. “We want to see them early, teach about properly brushing teeth and give fluoride supplementation to get luoride incorporated into the teeth, if needed.” Baby teeth are space holders for permanent teeth. They aid in speech development and are necessary for chewing. Aesthetically, they also play a key role, she said. “A lot of kids know exactly how they look and how they smile,” Roldan said. “And it’s important to develop the self-esteem of the child.”

your toilet-training book with my 18-month-old daughter and she’s been doing great during the day. She rarely has an accident. However, I’m still using a diaper at nap time and during the night (waiting for some consistency in dryness before taking that away). Is that correct? The only problem is she’s igured out the routine and now only poops in her diaper when I put her down to sleep. She has not gone poop on the potty during the day for several weeks. Is that cause for concern? Should I take away the diapers totally? I don’t want to create a bad habit. Thanks! and your daughA You ter are doing just ine.

In fact, you’re both doing great and are living proof of the incontrovertible fact that most pediatricians have been giving very bad toilet-training advice for the past 45 years. Specifically, they’ve been promoting the “childcentered” philosophy that has caused toilet training to become such a huge problem during this same time period. Keep up the good common sense, and don’t become discouraged, much less anxious, if your daughter has a setback now and then. There will be, as you’ve already discovered, bumps in the road. In that regard, the fact she’s waiting until nap time or nighttime to poop is no cause for concern. It may take a while — several months, perhaps — but this will resolve itself. In the meantime, celebrate her success and pay little to no attention to her reluctance to use the potty for pooping. That said, there are some strategies that might move this process along. One especially creative parent folded a diaper in the bowl of the potty and told her child that the doctor had said he should poop in his diaper that way. The child promptly pooped in the diaper-lined potty and continued to do so from that point forward. That’s a testament to thinking outside the box if there ever was one. In any case, stay the course. Patience will be the cure. Family psychologist John Rosemond answers parents’ questions at parentguru.com.

Regular dental visits are key to good health. Some dentists suggest beginning dental appointments at 1-years-old and every six months after that. CW GRIFFIN MIAMI HERALD/MCT

Parents need to be aware that an enemy is brewing in bacteria that develops in the mouth, and thrives during the night when the saliva is thick. “If the last thing you eat is sugar, which is what bacteria live on, the bacteria will use that medium to grow and produce acid,” Roldan said. “They’ll have a party on your teeth every night if you don’t brush.” When very young children develop dental problems, they can wind up in the operating room. Roldan said her center sees 700 patients in the operat-

ing room for dental work each year. The majority are under 4. Children can even require root canals and extractions. In the worst case, when problems are left untreated, an abscess, or accumulation of pus, can result. The pus can migrate and move to the brain or eyes, leading to a periorbital (eye) infection, or a brain abscess, which can be potentially fatal. For adults, health risks associated with oral health are particularly significant.

Researchers from the University of Central Lancashire in the United Kingdom last year found that people with poor oral hygiene or gum disease could be at higher risk of developing Alzheimer’s, compared with those who have healthy teeth. The researchers discovered the presence of a bacterium called Porphyromonas gingivalis in the brains of patients who had dementia when they were alive. The bacteria are usually associated with chronic periodontal (gum) disease.

Food DINNER TONIGHT

Fish Taco Fridays Abstaining from meat never tasted so deliciously good By Jennifer Chandler Special to The Commercial Appeal

Lent began March 5, which for many means no meat on Fridays for six weeks. Just because you may be abstaining on Fridays during this Lenten season does not mean you have to give up enjoying a delicious meal. Fish tacos are a prime example of a dish that can make “Fish Fridays” something to look forward to. Preparing a fish taco is much like preparing a sandwich. It’s all in the assembly. The main ingredient is obviously the fish. Fish tacos can be filled with either fried or marinated fish. I find that the marinated version is easier to prepare than the fried version. As an added bonus, it’s healthier. A simple marinade of lime juice, chili powder and garlic lends the tilapia in these fish tacos a delightful citrusy flavor. After a quick marinade, the fish can either be pan-seared as in this recipe or cooked on a grill. You can always substitute your favorite white fish or even shrimp for the tilapia in this recipe. To dress up the taco, I like to add a mango slaw. Mango adds sweetness and color to a simple cabbage slaw. A dressing of lime juice and olive oil complements the citrus tones of the marinated fish better than a mayonnaise-based dressing would. The addition of jalapeño adds a little kick. As a time saver, pick up a package of shredded coleslaw in your produce department instead

FISH TACOS WITH MANGO SLAW Serves 4. INGREDIENTS

For the Mango Slaw: 2 cups inely shredded green cabbage 1 ½ cups inely shredded red cabbage 1 cup small-diced mango ¼ cup thinly sliced red onion (about half a small onion) 2 tablespoons seeded and inely diced fresh jalapeños 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice 2 tablespoons olive oil — Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh cilantro leaves For the Avocado Crema: 2 large ripe avocados, peeled, pitted and coarsely chopped 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice ¼ cup sour cream — Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper For the Fish Tacos: ¼ cup plus 1 tablespoon olive oil, divided 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice 1 clove garlic, minced ½ teaspoon chili powder 4 tilapia illets (6 ounces each) -- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper 1 tablespoon olive oil 8 small (4-inch) lour tortillas, warmed DIRECTIONS

Use marinated tilapia along with a mango slaw and a squeeze of avocado crema to inish of these lavorful ish tacos, which are perfect for Fridays during Lent or any other day of the year.

of shredding the cabbage yourself. To finish the taco, drizzle a little avocado crema over the top. Avocado crema is simply a ripe avocado puréed with sour cream and

a little lime juice. It makes a delicious sauce to garnish a fish taco. Whether you observe the traditional Friday abstinence or not, you can use this recipe every Friday of

the year! Jennifer Chandler lives in East Memphis with her husband and two daughters. For more recipes and dinnertime solutions, visit cookwithjennifer.com.

1 To make the mango slaw: In a large mixing bowl, combine the green cabbage, red cabbage, mango, red onion and jalapeño. Add the lime juice and olive oil and toss until well combined. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Fold in the cilantro just before serving. 2 To make the avocado crema: In a food processor, purée the avocado and lime juice until smooth. Blend in sour cream. Place crema in a bowl and season to taste with salt and pepper. 3 To make the ish tacos: In small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup of the olive oil, lime juice, garlic and chili powder until well blended. Place the tilapia in a shallow dish, and pour the marinade over the ish. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 1 hour. Remove the ish from the marinade, drain of any excess, and discard the marinade. Season both sides of the ish with salt and pepper to taste. 4 In a large skillet over medium-high heat, warm the remaining tablespoon of oil until a few droplets of water sizzle when carefully sprinkled in the pan. Sear the ish on one side until the meat is well browned and releases easily from the pan, about 4 to 5 minutes. Turn and cook until the ish is cooked through, about 5 minutes more. Transfer the ish to a plate and break into large pieces. 5 Assemble the tacos by placing the ish (about half a illet per taco) in the center of the tortillas. Garnish with desired amounts of the mango slaw and avocado crema. Serve warm. Do ahead: The slaw can be made up to 2 hours ahead. Store covered in your refrigerator until ready to serve.

Pets PET NUTRITION

A look behind the labels: No ‘one size fits all’ healthy pet diet By Erinn Figg Special to The Commercial Appeal

Shawn McGhee, president of Memphis-based pet supply store Hollywood Feed, speaks about pet food with enthusiasm and authority, which isn’t surprising considering he spends so much time thinking about our animal companions and what they eat. “It’s really only been during the past 20 years that good research has been put into canine and feline diets,” McGhee said. “Now our knowledge is evolving almost daily.” Some pet owners may feel bombarded with the abundance of information available these days. Television commercials urge consumers to scrutinize pet food labels. Veterinarians often tout the beneits of speciic brands. A trip down the pet food aisle in the grocery store not only reveals dozens of brands but also what seems like dozens of formulas within those dozens of brands. What’s a responsible pet parent to do? As with humans, McGhee said, there’s no “one

size its all” approach to healthy pet diets — or even one perfect brand, for that matter — although marketing campaigns and even well-meaning veterinarians may lead us to think diferently. McGhee should know. The employees at his 24 stores in Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi and Tennessee undergo at least 40 hours of classroom training on pet nutrition, along with frequent tours of pet food facilities and information sessions with veterinarians. “If you go out and research human nutrition, you’ll ind at least 10 different diets out there recommended as foods you should be eating if you want to live a long, healthy life,” he said. “The same can be said for pets.” When choosing a pet food, McGhee says it’s important to recognize that diferent pets need diferent food. “If you come into one of our stores and ask me what kind of pet food to buy, I’m going to ask you some very specific questions,” he said. “What is the breed? How old is your pet? Are

they over or underweight? Do they have any health issues? What’s your price point?” Dr. Megan Arevalo, a veterinarian at McGehee Clinic for Animals, says concerned pet owners often come to her for help determining their pets’ nutrition needs. Along with traditional veterinary services, McGehee Clinic offers holistic services such as nutritional counseling and acupuncture. “There’s a lot of misinformation out there, and often the pet food marketing messages are oversimplifying the subject of pet nutrition,” Arevalo said. Arevalo also recommends a consultation with a veterinarian who specializes in pet nutrition, especially if a speciic health issue is present. If pet owners opt for online research, Arevalo encourages them to seek information in unbiased places. “The American College of Veterinary Nutrition website (acvn.org) is a good place to educate yourself on how to understand pet food labels, as it’s run

PROJECT STOP

WHAT’S YOUR PET EATING? According to Dr. Megan Arevalo of McGehee Clinic for Animals, the following symptoms may be indicators of a nutrition deiciency, food allergy or other illness: ■ Change in water intake ■ Increase or decrease in appetite ■ Change in stool ■ Frequent vomiting ■ Hair loss ■ Frequent scratching

by actual nutritionists and not someone with a vested interest in one particular product,” she said. The site also includes links to other credible resources. If owners want to cook for their pets, Arevalo recommends doing it occasionally for variety. “Pet food should be 90 percent or more of what your pet needs, with 10 percent left to play around a little,” she said. “These can be diferent things that don’t cause digestive problems, such as carrots and cottage cheese for dogs.” The website BalanceIT. com generates nutritionally balanced recipes, many of them free, based on the speciics of the pet: canine or feline, weight, age, health issues and other factors. Gerbils, reptiles and birds are apparently out of luck.

Low-cost pet vaccinations event at Hollywood Feed By Katie Pemberton Special to The Weekly

The Humane Society of Memphis and Shelby County will host Project STOP Vaccination Station, a $5 pet vaccination event for pet owners who are Shelby County residents and who income-qualify, on March 22, from 9 a.m. to noon, at Hollywood Feed at 2648 Broad Ave. In order to qualify for $5 vaccinations, pet owners must show proof of residence in Shelby County and participation in a needs-based public assistance program, such as Social Security, disability, unemployment, food stamps, Tenn Care, Medicare, or Medicaid, WIC, Reduced Lunch or Section 8 Housing. Dr. Jennifer Dunlap will be present, along with vet staf and volunteers, to administer the full complement of dog and cat vaccinations, including rabies. Dogs must be on leash and cats must be in cat carriers. Rabies licenses will be available for purchase for $6 for spayed/neutered dogs or $16 for intact dogs. Rabies licenses are not required

for cats. Project STOP (Solving the Overpopulation Problem) includes any HSMSC program that provides low-cost or free vaccinations, spays/neuters or microchips to pet owners in need. In 2013, as part of Project STOP, the Humane Society vaccinated more than 950 pets, and spayed and neutered more than 550 pets. One major component of Project STOP is still in progress: a mobile spay/neuter unit, for which the organization is currently raising funds to purchase the unit and run it for the irst ive years. “Our mission focuses on rescuing and rehabilitating injured and abused animals, but in recent years, we have really added an extra focus on at-risk pets in the community through Project STOP,” said Matt Womack, community outreach and humane education manager at HSMSC. “The goal of Project STOP is to decrease preventable disease, pets being abandoned, and unwanted litters, and these low-cost vaccination clinics are just one way that we’re working to accomplish that.”

MAN’S BEST running BUDDY Training with pup helps keep you dedicated

COREY KLEIN Ask CorEY

If unable to train outdoors, switch it up training for my first Q I’m 5k, but it’s been so cold

By Cindy Wolf Special to Good Health

If your new treadmill or the latest ex-o-sizer has already become the newest clothes rack at your home, maybe it’s time to quit trying to plod that monotonous, mechanical road to nowhere and ind an exercise partner who will keep you on track. Look no further than your feet, where a four-legged, whirling dervish of a dog is suited up and ready for action. There stands a stalwart exercise partner whose internal clock will alert you when it’s time to get on your shoes and get out the door. Studies have shown that people who exercise with their dogs are more energetic and dedicated to a itness routine than people who don’t own dogs. For some, it’s a reason to get out of bed, get moving and stop a sedentary lifestyle — all at the end of the leash. Fitness trainers point out that the beneit goes both ways, keeping a dog healthy and active. David and Anne Tuttle, both avid marathon runners, found weekend runs with Darwin, their mixed-breed dog, gave the couple a chance to share their sport, improved Darwin’s heath and gave the couple a break in the distance running. “We always felt bad when we would leave him while we went running,” David Tuttle said. “So we decided to teach him how to run with us.” When they irst began, there were plenty starts and stops as Darwin put the brakes on to snif out an area. Over time, Darwin learned to ignore the surroundings and focus on his pace. The runners started with about a third of a mile and taught to him to not crisscross in front of them. Darwin soon got the hang of it and they were up to a couple of miles when David entered himself and Darwin in the 2011 Fast and Furriest 5k run. It was a mile or so more than Darwin had ever run. “We lined up in the back with the rest of the dogs,” David said. “I thought we’d start out slower and then build, but he just started passing people. We ended up winning the whole thing, 3.1 miles, his personal best.” Darwin’s trophies, handpainted food and water bowls, are in the living room. Then there are the people who start exercising because of their dogs. Debbie Clift was a light attendant whose only exercise was walking through terminals and pushing drink carts back and forth on an airplane. She was raised with cats, her only

I have only run indoors on a treadmill. How will this affect my race day performance? Is there anything else I can work on indoors to prepare for an outside race? — Katie W., Memphis

on a treadmill A Running is a totally diferent

than running outdoors. To start with, all you are doing is “keeping up” on a treadmill because you are not dealing with constantly changing terrain or weather. There is nothing better than running outdoors to get you ready for race day. But if you don’t/can’t run outside there are a couple things you can do on a treadmill including interval, elevation and pace training. Interval training will help you run outside your comfort zone. Do this by sprinting for a short amount of time or distance as fast as you can and then reducing your speed to recover. Repeat as needed. Treat elevation training like interval training but adjust the elevation while maintaining a consistent speed. Pace training to help you have a good feel for the pace you want to keep. Pick a mile time to maintain and set the treadmill to that speed for the full 5K distance. you recommend Q Do supplements for clients

pets, until she spotted a stray black Labrador retriever running in her neighborhood. The dog didn’t have any identiication and Clift never found the owner. She’d changed jobs and became a massage therapist, which gave her more time to start an exercise routine. That routine’s name is Ben. Since her backyard was hardly a place for a large breed to play, she and Ben began to take walks four times a day, adding up to two miles or more, depending on the weather. A few years later, Clift found another black lab, this one running around in the Wolfchase Galleria parking lot. She again searched for an owner with no luck. This lab, who she named Abby, was about eight years younger than Ben. Abby ramped up their routine. “Ben liked to mosey when we walked, but after Abby came along he had to step up his

pace,” Clift said. “We have our routine. I get up in the morning, feed them, and then a bit later we go walking. I wouldn’t have gotten this much exercise without them.” Before you drag your dog of the sofa and set of for a long walk, talk to your veterinarian. Certain breeds aren’t suited for strenuous exercise, particularly not when the weather is hot. Your dog may have medical conditions that might require a diferent exercise routine than you envisioned. “Breeds with lat-faces or snub noses like pugs or bulldogs don’t do well on long walks, especially not in the heat,” said veterinarian Dr. Jon Romines, who is a runner. “Some dog breeds are born athletes, high energy dogs that are used to herding, hunting or just love to run. Others are ine sitting in your lap.” If your dog is overweight or you and your dog are just start-

ing an exercise routine, start slow, maybe 30 minutes a day. That distance can be increased depending on how quickly your dog acclimates. In the summer, it’s better to walk or run with your pet early in the morning. And sometimes it’s still too hot. Pay attention to your dog during summer months. Since dogs cool down by panting, they can get out of breath and sufer heat exhaustion or heat stroke. Just plan ahead and be willing to tell your dog “no” even if they constantly bark, wag and beg for their daily exercise. Make sure to bring a water bottle. If your dog won’t drink it, you can pour it on his shoulders to help cool him down. Make sure to invite your dogless friends out with you. They may end up adopting their own exercise partner, one that won’t back out or try to talk them into going to the mall instead.

market and they do help you achieve goals and break through plateaus but remember, supplements only work as hard as you do. You have to put in the work to make supplementation worth your time and money. Now, the most basic muscle building supplement I recommend is protein, more speciically whey protein. This supplement provides the body with key nutrients to help build muscle. If you want to go a step further, Creatine increases muscle cell volume, speeds up recovery and, of course, helps build muscle. Both of these supplements are produced by the body naturally so you’re just enhancing what your body already does to see faster, more noticeable results.

Community SNAPSHOTS Charles Billings, music director of Farmington Presbyterian Church, met operatic soprano Kallen Esperian following the last in a multi-day series of Rebirth, Renewal and Restoration at the church. Esperian provided an ofering of music and Rev. Brian Henderson, pastor of Parkway Gardens United Presbyterian Church, gave a message. A reception followed capping four nights of services at Farmington. For more information visit farmingtonpres.org.

Rev. Brian Henderson, Parkway Gardens United Presbyterian Church, visits with Bonnie Blair, organizer of the Rebirth, Renewal and Restoration series at Farmington Presbyterian, during a reception following the service.

Pam and John Nelson recently attended St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church’s annual dinner dance.

Bill Regenold, a inancial adviser at Shoemaker Financial, and his wife, Jeanne, recently experienced the “trip of a lifetime.” They had always wanted to go to Israel, so they were interested when Eleanor Moskovitz and her husband, Richard, announced that their church had a group going there. Faith Baptist Church in Germantown had a group of 26 people that went on the trip. They saw Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, the Sea of Galilee, Bethlehem, Masada, Golan Heights and even rode a camel and loated in the Dead Sea.

Germantown residents Jim Jacobs and Jim Briske and Collierville residents Margaret and Glen Stewart traveled to Utah’s Bryce Canyon National Park. Bryce Canyon consists of a series of horseshoe-shaped amphitheaters. While in Bryce Canyon they drove to the 15 diferent sightseeing spots. Rainbow Point was the highest at 9,115 feet, and it was a cold 28 degrees. The previous day they toured Zion National Park. They hiked to the beginning of the Narrows, which is a 16-mile route with the demands of river hiking, slippery rocks, and swift water crossings. While staying in St. George, they visited the Dinosaur Discovery site at Johnson farm. At the site, which was unearthed in 2000, visitors can see 200 million-year-old dinosaur tracks. Days before their sight-seeing trips they ran the Snow Canyon halfmarathon. This was the Stewarts 25th state in which to run a race.

A little snow and ice meant no school for the kids. Gavin Parker of Germantown enjoyed playing in the snow that fell March 3.

Tommy White, governor for the Rotary District 6800, visited the Germantown club. In his speech he outlined his goals for the district and encouraged Rotarians to attend the District Conference in April. He was very complimentary of various projects club is involved in the ish pond project, Germantown International Festival, support for Poplar Pike Playhouse and more. Last year the Germantown club was the recipient of the presidential citation and is No. 1 in the district for the annual giving. Also attending the meeting were president Mable Barringer, Linda White and past district governor Vijay Surpuriya. The Rotary Club of Germantown meets every Wednesday at noon at the Southwind Country Club. For more information on Rotary, call Surpuriya at 901-2106039.

Briarcrest’s Cincore repeats for award Saints standout named Miss Basketball again By John Varlas varlas@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2350

NASHVILLE — Briarcrest basketball standout Jasmine Cincore said winning her second consecutive Division 2-AA Miss Basketball award March 1 was “huge.” Well actually, it was a little more than that. “It’s huge. Huge, huge, huge, huge,” she said. Cincore, a 5-9 senior who plays guard and forward for the Saints, won

the award at Lips com b’s Allen Arena, following the D2-AA girls state Jasmine championCincore ship game. A n d while there might have been a couple of more “huges” in there, Cincore was clearly delighted to repeat. “It feels great,” she said. ‘It feels like all my hard work has paid of. I’ve got a great family, great parents and a huge support system. I just feel so honored.”

Cincore, who will play at Nebraska next season, averaged 15.2 points, eight rebounds, 3.1 assists and 3.1 steals for the Saints this season. She shot 49 percent from the loor and 74 percent from the free-throw line. But perhaps the most impressive number attached to Cincore’s career is this: In her two seasons on the Briarcrest varsity after transferring from Central, her team won 54 of 57 games, including a 28-1 inish this year that ended with a loss to state champ Brentwood Academy in the semiinals. “It’s still eating me up

inside,” said Cincore. “But it’s great to walk away (with this honor). I really never expected to have this much success.” Kennesha Echols of state champion Ensworth and Kennedy Potts of Harpeth Hall were the other two finalists in D2-AA girls. Cincore, who joins Alliesha Easley (2006), Jada Mincy (2003) and Ashley Earley (2001) as Briarcrest players who have won the award, was the only Memphis player honored Saturday. Micah Sheetz of Knoxville Webb, who was named Most Valuable

BASEBALL

C’ville lowers rent for fields By Lela Garlington garlington@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2349

Coaches and parents are ready to play ball now that Collierville town oficials have lowered the price to rent its ball ields for practice for the competitive and middle school teams who use them. “I think it’s very fair,” said Mayor Stan Joyner. “It was a compromise between the Parks Advisory Board and the competitive baseball organizers.” The two-tier rate is based on a percentage of Collierville kids who play on the teams. Teams in which at least 90 percent of its players are Collierville residents will pay $15 for a 1½-hour practice session rather than the previous rate of $25. Teams that have at least 70 percent of players living in Collierville will pay $25 rather than $35 for a practice session. The new fee applies to the 16 competitive baseball teams, the four competitive softball teams and the middle school teams from Collierville and Schilling Farms. “It was a long process but they listened and worked with us. Our kids can go play now and represent the town of Collierville,” said Brad Kornegay, vice president of the Collierville Dragons Baseball Club, which has 13 of the 16 competitive baseball teams. Last year, town oicials initially adopted a much higher fee of $50 per hour for teams with 90 percent local children playing and $75 per hour for teams with a minimum of 70 percent local children playing. Town oicials dropped the price to $25 and $35 and hour, but team managers objected and brought 25-30 players, parents and coaches to a recent board meeting. While the Parks Advisory Board considered a one-time fee versus a pay to play rental agreement, the parks board decided a “pay to play” was more equitable. The Parks and Recreation staf report said in part, “a one-time fee could allow some teams more use than others yet pay the same price.” Depending on the competitive team, players practice two to three times a week and play between 30 and 80 games a season depending on the age bracket. Some teams have both a spring and fall season. Town park officials said it costs $27.50 an hour in labor costs to get the ields ready for basic use. Those costs do not include mowing and turf maintenance such as irrigation, fertilization and spraying two to three times a week.

ECS run ends in state semifinals

After a surprising run to the TSSAA BlueCross Division 2-A boys basketball state semiinals, the Evangelical Christian School Eagles ran out of upsets and lost to Franklin’s Battle Ground Academy, 61-40, in a D2-A state semiinal Feb. 27 at Lipscomb University. The Eagles’ chances took a big blow when senior point guard Isaac James, the regional tournament MVP, got caught under a pile early in the second quarter and suffered what coach Terry Tippett called a “shoulder stinger.” Two other key players, Marcus Lytle and Jack Oliver, missed much of the third quarter with foul trouble. “It’s very frustrating,” said Lytle. “It killed us when Isaac went out.” Lytle led ECS with 10 points and Mitch Weatherford added nine, but the Eagles (17-13) never really got going after falling behind by double digits early. Still, Tippett was proud of what his team accomplished, especially considering it played all but two games this season without star 6-11 junior Skal Labissiere. “When you have talent, you expect to win big,” said Tippett, who said he’s planning to return next year, “Lord willing.” “If you don’t have talent, then your job is to coach them up and get them to be better than they are. We knew we couldn’t run up and down (and compete). We played the best way we could to give ourselves a chance to win.”

Austin Nichols picks up more honors By Jason Smith smithjas@commercialappeal.com 901-529-5804

The weekly honors continue to roll in for University of Memphis freshman forward Austin Nichols, who was named the American Athletic Conference’s Rookie of the

GYMSTARS WIN FIRST PLACE The Gymstars Gymnastics competitive teams hosted a meet at the Cook Convention Center. The Level 8s had a great meet and took home the first place team trophy. The winning team members are Kitty Guenther (left), Grace Woolfolk, Grace Bardes, Hailey Paige Baroni, Addi Newby and Conner Johnson.

Week for a third consecutive week Monday and on Tuesday was a unanimous selection to the AAC AllRookie team. Nichols, a former star play at Briarcrest Christian School, averaged 15.5 points and six rebounds last week as Memphis (23-8, 12-6) split a pair of

games against nationally ranked opponents. A 6-8, 212-pound power forward, Nichols scored 17 points on 7 of 12 shooting in Memphis’ 97-84 loss at Cincinnati on March 6. He followed that up with a 14-point, nine-rebound performance last Saturday in the Tigers’ 67-58

win over SMU. It’s the fourth time this season that Nichols, who has scored in double igures in six straight games, has earned the weekly honor. Nichols leads the Tigers in ield goal percentage (60.0) and is second in blocked shots (41).

Briarcrest Christian School boys basketball team got of to a slow start in last Friday’s BlueCross Division 2-AA state semiinal at Allen Arena in Nashville and never could recovery losing 4123 to Memphis University School. Briarcrest (20-10) made just 2 of 17 ield-goal attempts in the irst half, in which they trailed 19-8. They inished 7 of 34. Will Hrubes led the Saints in scoring with nine, but for the rest of the team, it was an uncharacteristically bad game. “We’re a good 3-pointshooting team,” said Saints coach John Harrington. “Mark (French) is over 40 percent (for the season). Micah (Thomas) is over 40 percent. Will is over 40 percent. Adam (Pike) is right at 40 percent. And we shoot 2 for 19.” Said Hrubes, “Basically, we couldn’t get anything going from deep. We made a few mistakes. ... And they were more successful at making shots.”

BCS girls unbeaten year ends at state

It was déjà vu all over again for the Briarcrest girls basketball team. For the second year in a row, the Saints entered the BlueCross Division 2-AA state semifinal against Brentwood Academy with an impressive record and plenty of conidence. But for the second straight year they endured a nightmare irst half and ended up short of expectations. The Eagles advanced to last Saturday’s championship game, knocking of the Saints, 53-36, at Lipscomb University’s Allen Arena. The loss was the irst of the year for Briarcrest, which ends the year 28-1. “If you had bet me that we would come up here and play this poorly, I would have thought you were crazy,” said Saints coach Lee Smith. “I would have taken the bet.” For the Saints and their fans, the parallels to 2013 were scary. Last season Briarcrest entered the semiinals with a 26-1 record but went the entire irst half without a bucket en route to a loss. This year, the Saints nearly did the same thing, getting a layup from Elise Holden at the first-half buzzer for their only basket.

Praising hands in silent song Deaf choir signs the national anthem at Grizzlies game By Kathy K. Martin Special to The Commercial Appeal

They can’t hear the music, but these choir members sing with their hearts and their hands. As members of Silent Praising Hands, which is part of Kirby Woods Baptist Church Deaf Ministry, they seek to show others that they don’t have to hear the music to feel it. The choir became the irst deaf group to sign the national anthem before a Memphis Grizzlies basketball game March 1. Accompanied by Kirby Woods vocalist Vicki Stewart, 10 members of the choir signed before the game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Choir director Rosita Tate said that the choir members were more excited than she had ever seen them. “They did an excellent job and the crowd exploded with applause when we were done. It was an amazing night for all of us.” Ranging in age from late 20s to late 80s, the choir

members sing in their own deaf worship service at Kirby Woods, which is located at 6325 Poplar, and every fourth Sunday in the main church’s worship service. They also perform at women’s ministries events and nursing homes. Tate said that people seem to be moved by the beauty of a song as it’s signed. She became involved with the deaf ministry in 1977 when she and her husband, Charles, who is deaf, married and began attending First Baptist Church in Memphis, where the ministry irst began over 60 years ago. Choir member Amanda Miller, 29, who is deaf, joined the ministry in 1990 when she was just 6 years old. After graduating from Southwest Tennessee Community College in 2011, she joined the choir. Miller’s mother, Connie Farmer, is the choir’s assistant director. She became involved in the ministry when she and her family moved to Memphis for her daughter’s education. She said that her duties vary,

but she leads the choir when Tate is out, helps with the sound system, interprets as needed and assists Tate in changing words to songs to better convey the concept of the original written words. Leslie Howat joined the church because both she and her husband, Rodney, are deaf and the church had a strong deaf ministry. “The choir has created a force in me that makes me want to have a connection with God and my faith has never been stronger,” she said. She wants others to know that deaf people aren’t that diferent from those who hear. “Many people don’t realize this, but we don’t see being deaf as a weakness to endure, but strength to make us appreciate who we are and what we do have.” Rebecca Hammond and her husband, Jim, are members of the deaf church even though they can hear. “I don’t know what God’s reason for me being here is, but I do know that I love the deaf members of the church and they have fully embraced my husband and me. … I am growing in my faith through the Word being taught in Sunday school and the worship service.”

Jenna Fergus irst heard of the national call for artists to submit artwork for an exhibit titled Clothesline Musings through a friend on Facebook. Artists were asked to submit art that was inspired by the clothesline. Fergus recently had two of her pieces chosen to be in the exhibition at Philadelphia’s Painted Bride Art Center. Her work will be on display through April 12 as part of an exhibit that explores historical and contemporary visual artists’ relationship with the clothesline. It’s a subject that resonates well with Fergus, an art teacher at Briarcrest Christian School. During her interculJenna tural studies in Union Fergus University’s graduate program, Fergus spent time in Ramallah, Israel, just outside of Jerusalem. While there, she noticed clotheslines hanging throughout living spaces everywhere — in apartment buildings, on houses, in rural and urban settings. “Very few people actually have clothes dryers,” Fergus said. “It’s really an indicative part of their culture.” Fergus set up a clothesline at Shelby Farms and from it she hung items, such as her grandmother’s slip, in which she transferred photos to them. She also shot video of the items, which will be shown during the exhibit. This will be the irst time Fergus, 56, has had her work shown in an exhibit outside of Memphis. “I had one show at The Elegant Farmer (restaurant),” she said. “They hung nine of my paintings two years

ago. This is a big deal because it was a national call for artists.” Fergus is a late bloomer in the art world. She was a 35-year old waitress at Shoney’s with no art background when she decided to get a teaching degree in art after being involved with the Richland Elementary PTA. She has been an art teacher at Briarcrest for 15 years. Fergus said because of prior arrangements, she will be unable to attend her exhibit. Friday through Sunday, there will also be The Clothesline Muse, a performance that includes dance, percussive music, spoken word, interview text, video, and interactive art. A cast of six dancers and a jazz vocalist will explore the clothesline as a metaphor of our community lifeline and its ties to our environment. In the future, Fergus said she would like to take artifacts of women her age, such as tea towels or handembroidered napkins, and transfer photos from people’s history to them, eventually featuring a 1,000-piece clothesline in a cotton ield.
