The joy of puppets Fairy Circus marionette show a big hit with kids, adults alike

The wide-eyed children sat cross-legged on the carpet and even peered in between books on the shelves to marvel and giggle at Monday afternoon’s puppet show at the Collierville Burch Library. While a normal story time might hold 150 parents and children, the one-man show captured the hearts of almost 400 children and adults. Dressed in black shoes, pants and a long turtleneck sweater, Peter Schaefer with Tanglewood Marionettes of Ware, Mass., gave the audience a quick introduction into the puppet world before launching into “The Fairy Circus,” a 40-minute marionette variety show set to music. With his nimble ingers and luid movements, Schaefer played out each scene vividly. A ballerina marionette pirouetted on her pointed toe and efortlessly performed the splits. A mouse rode a unicycle. A mischievous clown squirted a stream of water onto the children. At one point, he used his mouth to hold a heart prop as he worked the strings of a boy mari-

When Realtor Stacia Rosatti’s clients consider moving to Germantown, she always must explain why the three schools named after the suburb are actually not part of the Germantown Municipal School District. “It’s not overly negative for them, it’s just confusing,” Rosatti said. For that reason, Rosatti, a Crye-Leike agent, said she favors removing

“Germantown” from the schools’ names. The issue surfaced June 18 when the city revealed it had asked Shelby County Schools to change the names of Germantown Elementary, Middle and High schools in exchange for permitting county schools to use Germantown’s parks for high school athletics. The county schools would also have to pay a fee comparable to what the recreational leagues or any other resident would pay to use the ields. Many of those who are connected to the namesake schools, how-

In the News BOARD OF EDUCATION

Collierville OKs various school contracts Kelly hired to provide substitute teachers By Lela Garlington garlington@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2349

The Collierville Board of Education approved agreements Monday night for hiring substitute teachers through an agency, contracting for bus services and leasing computers. Kelly Educational Staffing

Services will receive up to about $338,000 from the board to hire substitute teachers. Based on last year’s numbers, about 16 teachers will be out on any given school day among Collierville’s eight schools. The board also approved a $2.5 million, four-year busing contract with Durham School Services, and a $702,000, threeyear leasing agreement with Apple for 600 Mac Pro computers. The annual cost is about $234,000.

Dr. Russell Dyer, the district’s chief of staf under Supt. John Aitken, told the board that the Kelly agency will recruit, select and hire substitute teachers, but they will also work with principals who have a preferred list of substitutes. The cost is $120 per day for each substitute. In addition to Collierville, Kelly will provide substitute teachers for Germantown and Arlington. Bartlett, Lakeland and Millington opted out of the agreement and won’t use the

agency this year. School board member Wanda Chism said the average teacher is usually out for three to four days during the school year. All six suburban school districts are participating in the bus contract. During the four-year agreement, school oicials say a total of 126 buses will be replaced with air-conditioned buses. Aitken said Collierville will need about 34 regular school buses and seven special education buses. Collierville and Ger-

mantown will share roughly 10 regular school buses and ive special education buses, he said. All three contracts passed on unanimous 4-0 votes. Aitken announced that the district will be holding a required registration day on July 29, even for students who preregistered in the spring. Collierville is expecting about 7,900 students. The district also will host an open house July 27 from 4 to 6 p.m. at its newly renovated oices at 146 College.

wish we had a bigger space for him,” she said. To the perfect musical selection of “The Flight of the Bumblebee,” Schaefer manipulated a three-foot fuzzy and hairy spider marionette dancing with a bee before the spider “jumped” into the audience of mostly preschool boys and girls sitting on the front row. The children screamed — some in a delight and a few out of fear — over the eightlegged critter. During a lull in the action, 4-yearold Henry Harris, who said he was scared of the spider, left his front row seat to ind reassurance from his mom, Meg Harris, standing nearby. After the show, Schaefer let the children touch and look at his handmade and painted marionettes with just a slight warning: “Please be gentle because they have to work next week.” “I think it’s fantastic without it being so electronic and techno,” said Collierville mom Melanie Saunders. “This is just pure, simple fun.” A future Farmington Elementary third-grader, Heidi Wills, 8, lovingly touched the silky purple garments of the princess. “I can’t believe how the hair looks so real and how they painted the faces,” she said. “The clothes are so pretty.” When he works with his stringed companions, he said, “It’s like playing a musical instrument. I love my job. I get paid to play with puppets.” It’s a job he’s had for over 20 years. The magic of the marionettes lingered even after the show ended. As the crowd thinned out to just a trickle of moms, dads and children, one little girl confided, “I’m afraid if I touch them, they’ll come alive.”

RENAME from 1 Germantown resident Jennifer West has two students at Germantown High School, a junior and a senior, and she also opposes changing the names. “I think it would be more confusing to rename the school that’s been there for 50 years,” West said. Shelby County Schools Supt. Dorsey Hopson said last week he thought Germantown’s demand was “out of left ield.” He’s also concerned about the length of the proposed lease agreement for using the athletic ields. The lease on some ields covers ive years, but only two years for others. Under the proposed agreement, SCS would have use of Red Devil Baseball Field and four of the six tennis courts at C.O. Franklin Park for ive years, and open space at that park and the Soccerplex for only two years. Ger m a ntow n Cit y Administrator Patrick Lawton said there are five-year contracts for the tennis courts and baseball field because those facilities are not in as much demand. The Soccerplex is also rented by a recreational group called Legends, and Lawton said the agreement will encroach on Legends’ time.

New sanitation fees begin July 1

Fees for Collierville sanitation collection will increase from $19 to $22 and the commercial rate will increase from $39 to $43 monthly beginning July 1. The amendment to the fee schedule charged by Town of was unanimously approved by the Board of Mayor and Aldermen at the March 24 meeting. The Town serves some 14,600 homes and 100 businesses. Even with the increase, effective July 1, Collierville fees are still less costly than Bartlett, Germantown, Lakeland and Memphis and remains the lowest in Shelby County.

When 43-year-old Blake Ritter arrived at Baptist RehabilitationGermantown last month following a spinal cord injury, he couldn’t feel his legs, much less walk. “Three days later, I started getting feeling in my left leg,” the Oxford, Miss., resident said. Three weeks later, Ritter is already standing and hopes to go home by July. “It was amazing what they’ve done in the length of time (I’ve been) here,” he said. Ritter’s kind of success is what Baptist is looking to continue at its new facility, Baptist Memorial Rehabilitation Hospital, opening in October behind the Chick-il-A at Germantown Road and Wolf River Boulevard. The $33 million, 49-bed inpatient rehabilitation hospital broke ground last October and will ofer specialized units for traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries and stroke care. Baptist Memorial Hospital

CEO Zach Chandler said the acute rehab regimen includes three hours of rehab per day. “By coming through this unit, the goal is that these folks are able to go home and be back to functioning, normal life back at home,” Chandler said. The new 59,400-square-foot hospital will provide speciic activity-based rehabilitation. “It’s taking folks beyond just the traditional hospital gym,” Chandler said. “It’s really looking at that complete and full recovery.” Baptist’s partner in the project is Centerre Healthcare, a Nashville-based company focusing on inpatient rehab. Centerre President and CEO Patrick Foster said the goals of

the two organizations “mesh very well.” “Baptist is so centered on what’s best for the patient and returning to the community,” Foster said. “That its well with us, too.” Foster said all the rooms in the hospital will be private and each unit will have staf certiied in targeted rehabilitation like swallowing or speech. Chandler said he knows irsthand what can happen if a patient doesn’t receive proper rehabilitation. His grandfather sufered a stroke in the 1980s and never relearned how to swallow properly. “Unfortunately people that don’t seek out these services or don’t get these services sometimes don’t really recover,” he said.

Collierville Police is investigating an armed robbery that occurred on June 20 at approximately10:45 p.m. in the Kernstown Cove area. The victims told police that as they arrived home and drove into their garage they heard a vehicle drive up. Two subjects approached them, one carrying a handgun. One subject wore a ball cap and the other wore a bandanna with red or blue and with white designs. Their clothing was dark-colored, with no distinguishing features. The suspects demanded a purse and wallet from both victims. After taking the purse and wallet, both suspects led in an unknown direction. Collierville Police is asking anyone with information to contact Collierville Police at 901-457-2520 or call Collierville Crime Stoppers at 901-457 CASH. A R O U N D G E R M A N T OW N

In the News HOPE CHURCH BICYCLE MINISTRY

Young riders get lessons in bike safety, maintenance

Setting them on the right path

By Robin Gallaher Branch Special to The Commercial Appeal

Yes, Oasis Bike Shop gives away bikes — but rarely. “No child is ever denied a bike,” said Bill Jurgens, who inds and repairs bikes for Oasis Bike Shop. “However, the most likely way a child — or an adult — gets a bike is by working for it.” “Earning a bike provides value for it. It gives them a sense of ownership,” said Jurgens. The program started with Jurgens volunteering in a reading program at Oasis of Hope, a ministry of Hope Church. “I was reading with children after school and became involved in the lives of a family of four and others. Another volunteer donated two bikes to some children, but the bikes were quickly stolen,” he said. A short time later Jurgens picked up some bikes at a yard sale, ixed them, and gave them to children in the family he read with. “I’ve always been good with my hands,” he continued, “and I igured out how to repair them.” However, after those bikes were repaired around Christmas 2010, three of the four were broken. “I went home discouraged.” Nowadays, bicycle recipients do 10 hours of volunteer, service-oriented labor. “For example, an adult can supervise children in a neighborhood trash pickup

campaign,” Jurgens said. The bike program, which started in started in 2011, operates out of Oasis Appliances on Thomas Street in North Memphis. Also a ministry of Hope Church, the store ofers refurbished appliances at discount prices. Jurgens feels he was led to do this ministry by the Lord, and points to the “coincidence” of reading an entry in The Upper Room, a daily devotional magazine. The entry said that children prayed and thanked God for lots of things and ended with thanking God for bikes. Shaking his head, he laughed at the memory. “It was as if God was telling me something.” The program developed one bike at a time until a warehouse was required. Now hundreds of bikes, in various states of repair, hang on hooks by their wheels in the storage area. Other people heard about it and contributed. An anonymous donor from First Evangelical Church contributed $10,000 for a trailer. This has meant that up to 40 bikes can be transported, so children can en-

joy bike outings to places like Shelby Farms Park. With the process of matching a child or an adult with a bike come lessons in maintenance, bike repair and safety. Children age 16 and younger receive a helmet, because the law requires children to wear helmets. All recipients get a cable to lock up the bike. Around 400 bikes are in stock. International Paper recently gave 10 new Schwinn bikes valued at about $220 each. But most bikes are donated or are “inds” rescued before a trash pickup. “It takes somebody who knows how to repair a bike 10 to 12 hours to make it safe and roadworthy,” Jurgens said. He credits the work of volunteers like Bobby Blackmon and Ted Partin for manning the shop. Oasis Bike Shop also provides part-time employment for two Manassas High School students. “They learn business skills,” Jurgens said. A former Marine who works as an arborist, Jurgens often drops by the bike shop between appointments to look at trees around town. “Memphis is a tree city,” he adds.

He attends Hope, and has been inluenced by Eli Morris, senior associate pastor, and Morris’ urban ministry. Morris said he has watched the bike ministry grow and admires it for its stability. The ministry is in the process of rebuilding 29 bikes for Binghampton Christian Academy for the children who live in the school’s dormitories. Jurgens and Syd Lerner, executive director of Greater Memphis Greenline, sometimes partner in their civic outreaches. In this case, Oasis Bike Shop supplies the bikes and Greenline the helmets, Lerner said. “Bill’s trying to get bicycles in the hands of young people, and they’re our future constituency,” Lerner said. Lerner calls Jurgens “an interesting combination of a Christian spirit and a true business guy.” From their work together, Lerner notes Jurgens’ consistency of character: “The way Bill serves God is by serving others.” For more information, visit oasis-of-hope.com/ oasis-bike-shop.htm.

Syd Lerner, executive director of Greater Memphis Greenline, and Bill Jurgens, director of Oasis Bike Shop, recently conducted an introductory bike safety and maintenance session for a bevy of 8- and 9-yearold boys, all dormitory residents at Binghampton Christian Academy. Lerner drilled them in the ABCs of bike maintenance: “Check the air, brakes and chain before each ride,” he said. Singling out a child in an orange shirt, Lerner said, “Orange is a good color to wear when riding a bike. The people in cars aren’t thinking of you. So you have to think about them” by being as visible as possible. The children brainstormed about why they have to wear a helmet. “It prevents brain damage,” one said. “Right,” Lerner replied. “And it’s the law for children 16 and under.” The children tried on helmets and learned how to adjust them. Jurgens and Lerner taught them the two-inger technique for wiggle room at the eye-

brow and ear. Displaying a bike from Oasis Bike Shop that needs repair, Jurgens patted the seat and said that a bike should be kept in a sheltered area like a shed. A child raised his hand and asked, “What if pieces of your tire are coming of?” Jurgens smiled and answered, “That means your tire has dry rot and you need a new tire.” “When is it NOT your fault if you have a lat?” Jurgens asked the boys. “When you run over some glass!” the children exclaimed. “Right!” Jurgens replied. Then he told the children how necessary it is to check the air in the tires and displayed the “pinch test.” He squeezed the back tire in the display bike and found that his ingers met in the middle. “Flat tire!” the children squealed. He warned the boys that low air can lead to major repair and maybe injury. Oasis Bike and Greenline are partnering in donating 29 bikes and helmets to the dormitory residents of Binghampton Academy. Additional sessions on bike safety and maintenance will follow this summer.

MY NEW HOME

Developers note as renting trend continues to climb By Jennifer Backer jbacker@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2742

Memphis isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t on the same trajectory as cities in the midst of apartmentconstruction booms like Houston, Dallas and Miami, but area lenders say borrowing for multifamily development continues to be a bright spot. Nationally, apartments make up about 40 percent of all new homes being built by developers today â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the highest share in 40 years, according to data from the U.S. Census Bureau and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Sales of new homes, excluding apartments, are down more than 70 percent from their 2005 peak; existing single-family sales are down about 40 percent. Area lenders are seeing similar trends, albeit not as dramatic. Annual census data showed apartments made up about 28 percent of new residential construction permits in Memphis in 2013, compared to 20.7 percent in 2008. Locally, demand for apartment development continues to be concentrated in Downtown and in eastern Shelby County, both of which have the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highest occupancy rates, said Frank Stallworth, executive vice president of the commercial and multifamily real estate lending division at Magna Bank. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you look at Memphis, we arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a hotbed compared to some markets, but we do have strong rent and occupancy rates,â&#x20AC;? Stallworth said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a nice healthy pipeline of construction in areas that have the demand.â&#x20AC;? Construction on Grant & Co.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 134-unit Harbor Island development at the southeast corner of Island Drive and A.W. Willis Av-

enue is underway. Henry Turley Co.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 197-unit South Junction complex in Downtownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s South End is partially complete. And recently, there has been speculation that the banks that foreclosed on The Horizon, a 16-story tower on Downtownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s South Blufs, are hoping to sell to developers for apartments. In the eastern suburbs, construction on Milton Grantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Westbrook Crossing apartments in Collierville is complete. Stallworth said the Memphis area has added about 2,100 units in the last 12 months, with 90 percent of those units located in Downtown and in East Memphis. Downtown renters are drawn by the vibrant restaurant scene and many other attractions, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We needed this new construction,â&#x20AC;? Stallworth said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Downtown continues to be our best market.â&#x20AC;? Witt Wittenberg, vice president of commercial real estate lending at First Tennessee Bank, said he thinks developers in Memphis have the right mix. The local apartment market â&#x20AC;&#x153;isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t overbuilt,â&#x20AC;? and property owners continue to be able to get â&#x20AC;&#x153;strong rental rates,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are deinitely seeing a trend that more and more professional young adults like to be able to take advantage of the amenities that apartments can ofer,â&#x20AC;? he said, referring to perks like swimming pools and workout facilities. Wittenberg said developers and investors are capitalizing on the strong apartment demand and economies of scale. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can put a 150-unit apartment complex on three or four acres, but you arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to be able to get 150 homes on the same property,â&#x20AC;? he said.

A â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;cute little houseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Collierville charmer meets the requirements By Stacey Wiedower Special to The Commercial Appeal

Indiana natives Derek and Abbey Bleemel covered a lot of ground in Shelby County in a short time. When Derek landed a job as an air traic controller at Memphis International Airport, he moved irst to Cordova, then to Mud Island. Abbey joined him there after the coupleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wedding in June 2013, then they moved on to Lakeland. But Abbeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s job as a nanny was in East Memphis, and when the time came to buy a house, that was her No. 1 pick for a place to settle down. Derek liked the looks of Collierville, where some good friends of the coupleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s had recently bought a house. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just wanted an old house,â&#x20AC;? said Abbey, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expecting their irst child in November. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like that charm and the feeling of an old, cute little house.â&#x20AC;? Around October, the Bleemels began scouting out the real estate market. A co-worker of Derekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s referred them to real estate agent Allyson Avera of Crye-Leikeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Germantown-Poplar oice. Not inding exactly what they wanted in East Memphis, they searched farther east, in Germantown, Collierville

and also in North Mississippi. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We thought Germantown would be our in-between, like our compromise location,â&#x20AC;? Abbey said. In fact, the couple found two homes in Germantown they liked enough to make ofers, but neither ofer won them a house. With Averaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s help, though, the Bleemels kept searching. In all they saw about 25 houses, and inally they found the one â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a house that ofered the best of two worlds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I got my East Memphis house and Derek got his Collierville location,â&#x20AC;? Abbey said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This house was only on the market for two days,â&#x20AC;? added Derek. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We came out here, saw it and put an offer on it as soon as we walked out of the door.â&#x20AC;? The three-bedroom, two-bath, painted brick house is in Collierville Heights, a neighborhood not far from North Main Street. Abbey and Derek bought the 1,560-square-foot home in December for $182,000. Built in 1968, the house had hardwood loors and loads of charm â&#x20AC;&#x201D; all the qualities of an â&#x20AC;&#x153;old, cute little houseâ&#x20AC;? Abbey was seeking. It also had added perks, like a huge, fenced backyard that was perfect for their dog, Onyx, and their two cats. And the location was ideal â&#x20AC;&#x201D; right in the heart of town and close to schools. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of secret back here,â&#x20AC;? Abbey said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We liked all the trees.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We really wanted a place that

Inside, the house had an updated kitchen and bathrooms, another perk the Bleemels hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expected in an older home â&#x20AC;&#x201D; though they werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afraid of a ixer-upper. The Bleemels have made a few changes since moving in, including painting some rooms, replacing windows and light ixtures and redoing the backyard landscape. Even though the kitchen, bath and dĂŠcor is up to date, the house maintains its older-home character, a feature Abbey loves.

Derek said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And some people who ran a granite company out of the separate garage.â&#x20AC;? At the front of the house is a combined living and dining room the Bleemels have decorated with family pieces, comfortable seating and a collage of framed photos. The homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kitchen features stained cabinetry, granite countertops and an angled peninsula that separates the space from an adjoining family room. Though they werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t initially expecting to move so far east, the Bleemels love their new neighborhood and their neighbors.

Food DINNER FOR TWO

Seasonal favorite

CAROL BORCHARDT

Bacon-wrapped shrimp is an option for Pasta with Smoked Habanero Tomato, but plain shrimp and chicken are also tasty additions.

Pasta dish kicks up the heat with habanero peppers By Carol Borchardt Special to The Commercial Appeal

LINGUINE WITH TOMATO, BASIL AND HABANERO SAUCE AND BACONWRAPPED SHRIMP Serves 2 INGREDIENTS

hen our tomatoes begin to ripen and our fresh basil takes of, my husband makes this super-spicy pasta dish that we both love. He has made it every summer for about as long as we’ve been married — almost 19 years. The recipe calls for habanero peppers, some of the hottest peppers grown. They range between 100,000 and 350,000 Scoville heat units (SHU), so one goes a long way. Dried smoked habaneros are available at area grocery stores and Hispanic markets, though we smoke and dry our own homegrown habaneros. If a habanero is too hot for you, use a smoked and dried jalapeño, otherwise known as a chipotle pepper. Those range in heat from 5,000 to 10,000 SHU. An even milder substitution at 1,000 to 2,000 SHU is an ancho pepper, which is a dried fresh poblano. An ancho pepper can be somewhat leathery, so a 20-minute soak in hot water will make it easier to chop. When handling hot peppers of any variety, it’s wise to wear disposable gloves, refrain from touching sensitive areas such as your eyes and keep your work area

ventilated. Although all that heat from hot peppers can be hard to handle, they all contain capsaicin, which is purported to have numerous health beneits — from boosting metabolism to pain control in topical creams. To add protein to the dish, you could add plain cooked shrimp. To ratchet up the smoky lavor, baconwrapped shrimp are a very tasty addition. Cooking shrimp wrapped in bacon works well using thin bacon and at least 16-20 count (per pound) shrimp. The sauce is also delicious with chicken. Linguine and fettuccine work well with cream sauces. However, in a pinch we’ve used penne and farfalle. Carol Borchardt owns A Thought For Food Personal Chef Service. She creates diet and palate-specific meals for clients in their homes.

WHO’S THE BEST SOUTHERN COOK? Who’s the best Southern cook you know? This summer we’re going to run a series on Southern cooking, and I want to talk to these ine cooks so that I can pass their tips, recipes and cooking wisdom along to you. And I’ll be honest — I want someone to teach me how to fry chicken. I wouldn’t mind knowing how to make perfect biscuits. Or having my black-eyed peas turn out just like my grandmother’s every time I make a pot. We’ll spend the summer addressing these heady topics, and who knows? Maybe we’ll come up with a deinitive method for a thing or two; the worst that will happen is that we get great cooks telling us how they do it. I’ve learned a good bit that I’d like to share, and I want to ind the real experts. Are you a great Southern cook? How about your mom or best friend? Drop me an email at biggs@commercialappeal.com, tell me your specialty and send me a contact number. I might contact you for one of our summer stories.

DIRECTIONS

1 Heat the olive oil in a shallow saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallot and cook 2-3 minutes or until softened. Add the tomatoes, garlic and chili and cook 3-4 minutes or until the tomatoes begin to soften. 2 Add the wine, increase the heat and cook until the wine reduces by half, 8-10 minutes. 3 Stir in the cream, bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and simmer 20-25 minutes or until sauce has thickened. Add the Worcestershire sauce, salt and black pepper to taste. Stir in most of the fresh basil, reserving a few slices for garnish. Keep warm. 4 Wrap each shrimp with ½ slice bacon, being careful not to overlap the bacon too much. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and cook until the shrimp turns pink, curls about 2/3 of the way and the bacon browns. 5 Toss cooked pasta with sauce. Serve in shallow bowls or on plates. Place shrimp over pasta, garnish with remaining sliced basil. Top with freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Adapted from Hot & Spicy & Meatless 2, by Dave DeWitt, et. al.

Halibut’s a healthful choice after vacation eating splurge In May we went on a three-week road trip, up the East Coast, visiting all our children. In between, we made stops in Philadelphia and New York City. I don’t think I have to tell you that we ate very well along the way, with most meals including a glass or two of wine. It was not a happy day when we got home and I stepped on the scale. So I was delighted to realize that the farmers markets were open. The one closest to me is the Agricenter, and the Paradise Seafood truck is there every week, Wednesday through Saturday. In the barn, I picked up a couple of bunches of lovely Treviso-type kale. Then I went to the Paradise truck looking for scallops, but Ted the Fish Man had beautiful halibut ilets. I couldn’t resist. But then I had to come up with a creative preparation, easy and tasty of course, but almost equally important, healthy. Looking through old recipe iles, I found this one, an Italianinspired sauce, perfect for

the lavor and texture of halibut. I used blood orangelavored olive oil. This is available in several locations around town. I got mine at Bazaar in Carriage Crossing, but Mighty Olive in Laurelwood will also have it in stock. If you choose to make it with plain olive oil, double the amount of orange zest, and you’ll still be very happy with the results. I have mint lourishing in a pot near my herb garden. If you don’t, you can use two packages (around one ounce each) from the supermarket, or go to the Winchester or Cordova farmers market and get a package with enough for this recipe for around $2. This sauce can be made a bit ahead, but no more than an hour or so.

Because of the acid, the mint will turn dark and have a less-than-pleasant texture. The ilets were so lovely that I made 8-ounce servings. After making the side dishes, it was obvious to me that was going to be too big a serving. I suggest a 5- to 6-ounce serving per person. Later I took the remaining ish, laked it, and added the remaining sauce, the crumbs left over from the crust preparation and a beaten egg. I fried up a tiny taste and it was really delicious. I made croquettes on a baking sheet and froze them. Sometime soon I will partially thaw them, brown them quickly in a bit of olive oil and put them on top of a salad for dinner on a summer night. For the crumbs, I used French bread slices that I toasted lightly. That way you’ll get a better golden color for the crumb crust in the short time it takes the ish to bake. I had a container of pistachios on hand. I loved the lavor they added to the crust, but you can substitute

Pistachio Crusted Halibut with Orange Mint Salsa Verde. ALYCE MANTIA PRICE

PISTACHIO-CRUSTED HALIBUT/ORANGE-MINT SALSA VERDE Serves 4.

DIRECTIONS INGREDIENTS

For the fish: 4 1-inch thick slices toasted baguette 1/3 cup pistachios 2 teaspoons blood orange olive oil — a few leaves of mint 1½ pounds halibut filet, about 1 inch thick, cut into four portions For the sauce: 1/3 cup onion, very finely minced ½ cup blood orange olive oil ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons grated orange zest ½ cup fresh orange juice 1 cup (loosely packed) fresh mint, minced — orange slices and more mint sprigs for garnish

almonds, or leave out the nuts entirely and you’ll still love it.

1 Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. 2 In a food processor, make crumbs from the toasted baguette. Add pistachios, blood orange olive oil and mint. Pulse until nuts are coarsely ground. 3 Place halibut skin side down on a well-oiled baking sheet. Divide the crumbs among them, patting lightly to make them adhere. 4 Combine all the sauce ingredients and whisk together. Let set for at least 30 minutes or up to an hour for flavors to meld. 5 Bake until cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes. 6 Put a pool of the sauce on each of four dinner plates. Remove the fish from the baking sheet with a spatula (most of the skin may stick to the pan). Place on top of the sauce, garnish with orange slices and mint sprigs and serve immediately.

For our side dishes, I made a rice pilaf and sautéed the kale in a little

garlic and olive oil. They made for a lovely meal … and oh! So healthy!

LIVING WITH CHILDREN

Lying requires vigilant discipline By John Rosemond

OUT DARKNESS OF THE

By Erinn Figg Special to The Commercial Appeal

West Memphis blogger Jill Denton shared a triumphant announcement with her readers on Dec. 14, 2012: “I am three months pregnant with a healthy baby!” the 32-year-old typed in large red letters. Followers of Denton’s blog, Inside Out (insideoutjill.wordpress.com), understood the signiicance of that post. It marked the end of a grueling nine-year ordeal with infertility treatments and complications from polycystic ovarian syndrome. Subsequent blog entries were equally effusive. There were excited updates on pregnancy checkups, the big-reveal ultrasound photo (“WE’RE HAVING A GIRL!”), cheery pictures of the newly decorated nursery, and — in the June 15, 2013, post “Ta-Da!” — the requisite “belly photo” of a beaming Denton displaying her 38-week baby bump under a bright lavender T-shirt. “I thought I’d never do this, but my sweet husband convinced me otherwise,” Denton wrote. It would be the last blog entry Denton would write for a long time. Her readers waited for the joyful birth announcement, photos of the new mother and baby and recounts of adventures in motherhood, written in Denton’s characteristic bubbly style. But there was nothing — just months of silence. Today, Denton describes that four months as a nightmare. “It was very scary. My brain was such a mess. To inally receive that miracle of life and then to feel so completely opposite of what I had always imagined was so foreign to me,” she said. “My anxiety was all over the place. I was paranoid all the time. I would have terrible dreams of the baby being harmed, but not by me. I started having suicidal thoughts because I thought, ‘I can’t live like this.’ I just wanted to escape and I just wanted a way out.” Denton inally opened up to her readers in an Oct. 19, 2013, post titled “The Absence of Light,” a raw and painfully honest 4,000word account of weeks illed with confusion, panic, depression, vivid and terrifying thoughts, psychiatric treatment, trials and errors with medications and, ultimately, voluntary hospitalization for postpartum depression and anxiety. “After WANTING a baby for nine years, I NEVER expected to experience the lowest low of my life after coming home with a beautiful, sweet baby girl in my arms,” she wrote.

OUT OF THE DARKNESS Now recovered, Denton is among at least two dozen women who participated in the Climb Out of the Darkness 2014 event at Overton Park’s Old Forest State Natural Area last Saturday. Memphis joined more than other 115 cities around the world in hosting a symbolic climb to raise awareness of perinatal mood and anxiety disorders such as postpartum depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder and psychosis. The event was created on a smaller scale last year by the international nonproit Postpartum Progress (postpartumprogress.org) in an efort to raise funds to further the organization’s mission of connecting afected mothers to treatment and resources. This year, the number of worldwide participants has grown from 177 to more than 1,000. According to the most recent postpartum depression study results released in March 2013 in The Journal of the American Medical Association Psychiatry, 1 in 7 women experiences depression during the year after she gives birth, and 1 in 5 of that segment has thoughts of harming herself. Some experts believe the reality may be even more stark, as it’s diicult to gauge the numbers in low-income areas where mental health care is a luxury compared to obtaining necessities such as food and housing. The need for awareness and resources is great in the Memphis area, say Sarah Stockwell and Beth Hayes, co-organizers of the Memphis event. Although there are no mountains to climb here, the location is still ideal, Stockwell said. “We really love the symbolism of the Old Forest,” said Stockwell, owner of BirthMemphis Childbirth Education Services. “There’s a lot of undergrowth and dark, thick tree canopies that don’t let in a lot of light, so symbolically we’ll be walking through this uninished forest and coming out on the other side into the light to symbolize healing,” Stockwell said. Proceeds from the event will go to Postpartum Progress to create oice materials to help obstetricians educate patients on postpartum disorders and available re-

MOOD SWINGS NOT UNUSUAL, BUT EXTREME SHIFTS CALL FOR ATTENTION While it’s common for women to experience mood changes after the birth of a child, 15 to 20 percent of women experience more serious symptoms. following are some indicators of possible postpartum depression or anxiety: ■ feeling sad or depressed for longer than two weeks ■ feeling more irritable or angry than usual ■ Diiculty bonding with the baby or a general lack of interest in the baby ■ feeling anxious or panicky ■ Problems with eating or sleeping ■ upsetting, intrusive thoughts ■ feeling “out of control” or “going crazy” ■ feeling regret over becoming a mother ■ fear of harming the baby or yourself Women who are concerned that they may have a postpartum mood disorder should contact their obstetrician or physician immediately.

sources. The Memphis team also is raising donations on its Crowdrise fundraising page (tinyurl.com/climb-memphis). Leah Bray Nichols, owner of Evergreen Yoga Center in Midtown, donated $200 to the cause because it aligns with her professional mission of supporting new mothers. Her studio ofers mommy-baby yoga sessions. “What they’re doing with Climb Out of the Darkness is exactly what we do when we’re working with women who are in that phase of their lives,” she said. “We support them in taking care of their physical and

mental health. You get this little awesome bundle of joy, but that irst year can also be such a shocking change.”

BUILDING A SISTERHOOD Other goals of the event are communityoriented. “I would like for participants to realize that there’s a sisterhood of women who are also going through the same things and, as such, form a community. It’s through community that we can create a support circle,” Stockwell said. Hayes, owner of Homecoming Postpartum Services, where, as a postpartum doula, she provides in-home care for new mothers, says she hopes the event will prompt local mental health professionals to realize the need for more postpartum mental health support in Memphis. “My personal interest in working so hard on this climb is because the resources in Memphis are nil — they’re aren’t any,” she said, referring to support groups, widespread screenings and educational resources. “We want to change that horizon for women so when they start to discover they’re not well, they’ll know where they can go to get help. They’ll know that with treatment, therapy, guidance, support, nutrition and exercise, they’ll be OK. It’s not a permanent situation.” Karen Diana, a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner who frequently works with postpartum depression and anxiety clients at Chamberlin Clinic in Cordova, echoes that truth. “Having postpartum depression does not necessarily mean a lifetime of treatment; absolutely not,” she said. Diana encourages women who are feeling depression, anxiety, a desire for isolation, disinterest in the baby, guilt or confusing thoughts to talk to their obstetricians immediately and, most important, not to balk at the suggestion of a psychiatric referral. “There is no shame in getting help, and I think that’s a big thing,” she said. “We try to educate people that this is a chemical disorder. You wouldn’t judge yourself if you needed medicine for high blood pressure. Don’t judge yourself if you need treatment for depression.”

lems to solve. It quickly become habit and turns into a major parent-child power struggle, both of which are obviously the case here. We psychologists are trained to think that habitual lying is an expression of deep-seated dysfunction in the family, but I have not found that to be always, or even usually, the case. Sometimes the answer to “why?” is obvious; sometimes, it seems as if the problem developed quite “by accident.” What’s looming down the road is anyone’s best guess. Sometimes, a child who is a habitual liar “outgrows” (for lack of a better term) the problem during his teen or early adult years. Sometimes, the problem persists well into adulthood and becomes a signiicant handicap to any chance the individual may have at life success. The further problem is that — as you have discovered — the habitual liar often seems impervious to punishment. The secondary reward of playing cat-and-mouse overrides the impact of any negative consequence. Let’s face it, during the game of cat-andmouse, the child is in complete control of the family. That’s a powerful tonic. I’ll wager that in response to his lying, this boy’s parents have taken privileges away for a day, maybe a week. If so, that’s not going to cut it. Serious problems require serious consequences. First, everyone needs to stop talking to him about the problem, including repeating the story of the boy who cried wolf. You’ve all said enough. It’s time to act. Second, you cannot afford to ever give him the beneit of doubt. If you THINK he’s lying, then he’s lying. End of conversation, end of story. Third, take all of his prized possessions, activities, and privileges away. Put up a 30-block chart on the refrigerator. He gets his possessions, activities, and privileges back when he has gone for 30 consecutive days without lying (or, more accurately, doing anything that causes anyone to even THINK he’s lying). Every day that he manages to keep his bad habit in check, he gets a smiley face in one of the blocks on the chart. If he lies, the chart comes down and a new 30-day chart goes up. You do that even if he goes 28 days without lying and then lies on day 29. It’s absolutely essential that you cut him no slack during his rehabilitation. Be aware that it may take him six months to succeed with a 30-day chart. If you hang in there, this can pay of handsomely for everyone.

GERMANTOWN CHAMBER SNAPSHOTS

Teaming up to coach youngsters to read By Jeremy C. Park Special to The Weekly

Second grade is pivotal in the development of young readers. At this point, students should know many of the 1,000 “sight” or Fry words, like “it” and “go,” which are fundamental in the leap from learning-to-read to readingto -lea rn . In fact, just Jeremy C. the irst 300 Park words on the Fry word list represent about 67 percent of all the words students encounter in their reading. But many second graders still don’t have a grasp of those crucial foundational words. According to research conducted by the Annie E. Casey Foundation, children who cannot read proiciently by the third grade are four times more likely to drop out of high school than their peers who are reading at grade level. This number rises even higher if they come from poverty. Shelby County Schools

Buzzy Rayman, Curry Todd, Mike Klunk and Greg Farm took home irst place with the irst light during the Germantown Area Chamber of Commerce’s golf classic. Germantown Area Chamber of Commerce chairman Amy Barringer takes a quick break during the annual golf classic.

ofers a volunteer tutoring program for its second graders called Team Read. The program originated and was developed by the partnership of Germantown United Methodist Church (GUMC) and Caldwell- Guthrie Elementary School. Volunteer tutors spend an hour each week, from just after Labor Day to the irst of May, coaching two young readers in 30 minute, oneon-one sessions. The sessions are coordinated at the school, during the school day, around the coach’s schedule. Tutors are called “coaches” because, similar to great sports players, readers need coaches to improve their skills. Test results have shown that 73 percent of students in the program learned 200 more sight words and 23 percent learned 400 more sight words over the course of the year. Likewise, the level of engagement has increased. More than 26 Team Read programs now work in the District. For more information, contact Barbara Dawson at 901-416-5732 or dawsonb@scsk12.org.

Late charge seals Conlee for DeRosa; Choi wins girls title

Austin Nichols signs autographs for summer basketball campers before a recent workout at the Finch Center. Most of Nichols’ summer has been spent working on increasing his strength.

Impressive gains Ofseason work with trainer has Nichols bigger and more conident

ELITE COMPANY The eight Tigers basketball players who started every game their freshman season since 1972, when the NCAA reopened the doors for freshmen to compete at the varsity level:

Even before the University of Memphis’ 2013-14 season ended at the hands of top-seeded Virginia in the third round of the NCAA tournament in March, Austin Nichols was already making plans for the ofseason. The skilled 6-8 power forward had been named the American Athletic Conference Rookie of the Year and would become the irst Tigers player since Darius Washington Jr. in 2004-05 to start in every game as a freshman. But Nichols wasn’t content. So he reached out to his former personal trainer, Tony Sarwar, with whom Nichols had worked closely on improving his strength while in high school at Briarcrest Christian, and put together a plan. “He said, ‘Listen, the moment the season’s over, I know that I’ve gotta get stronger. I know that I’ve gotta be able to dominate the inside. I know that I’ve gotta push back ofensively to be able to gain my position irst. So the moment the season’s over, I want to get back to work,’ ” Sarwar said. “We started that Monday after the season and for the last 2½ to three months, we’ve just been killing it.” The results are visible. While Nichols has also spent time training this ofseason with Rohrk Cutchlow, the U of M’s director of athletic performance, and, for the last three weeks, Evarist Akujobi, the Tigers’ newly hired strength and conditioning coach, he credits most of his physical gains to the time he spent immediately after the season with Sarwar. Nichols, who averaged 9.3 points and 4.3 rebounds last season, has gone from weighing 210 pounds last year to 228. The 185 pounds he struggled to bench press when he started training after the season has improved to ive to six reps of 225 pounds, Sarwar said. “The goal is to get stronger; not

to just put on weight. But I think my body is getting better at handling the weight,” Nichols said. “I just really wanted to get stronger and I think I’ve done that. “It feels good. I’m still quick enough from what I can (tell). I can get up (of the loor). I’m not too bulky. It’s not lagging me down. That was really important going into the weight lifting was to keep the quickness, but also put weight on.” There were times last season when Nichols looked like the best player on the loor for Memphis, such as his 19-point, 8-rebound performance against LSU or his 17-point, 12-rebound, 7-block effort in a win over Temple. But Nichols, like most freshmen, also had his struggles, including a six-game stretch from mid-December to early January in which he averaged just 4.7 points and three rebounds. He had zerorebound games against Southeast Missouri and UCF, and, though he led Memphis in scoring in its season-ending loss to Virginia (15 points), he was repeatedly challenged on the defensive end by a more physical Cavaliers team. Sarwar believes Nichols’ improved strength will generate more conidence and consistency. “You can see the diference.

When his conidence is up he’s a totally diferent basketball player. When his conidence is limited, sometimes he slows down the pace a little bit,” Sarwar said. “Once you can get two plates (one the bar) and you’re bench pressing that, now his (belief) of his personal strength improves his conidence. “I’m a big believer in showing them the success that they’ve produced. So I measured his arms, his back, his chest, his legs, his waist, and his waist stayed the same. But his back got bigger. His shoulders got bigger. His biceps got bigger, and that’s his motivation.” Nichols’ teammates said he’s been one of the most vocal players in workouts this summer as he makes the transition from having to learn on the job as a freshman to now being looked to as one of the leaders of a largely inexperienced team. Though he expects his production to improve, Nichols prefers to discuss team goals. “As a team, my key is chemistry — better chemistry than last year’s team,” he said. “Everyone is saying how we’re not as talented as last year; how we’re not going to be as good. But I think if our chemistry is there, I think we can be even better than last year’s team. That’s one of the main goals me, (junior forward) Shaq (Goodwin) and (junior wing) Damien (Wilson) really need to focus on because we’re the upperclassmen.” With just two returning starters and having to replace four senior guards, it makes sense that Memphis will look to its frontcourt this season. Goodwin and Nichols developed a good chemistry together last year, but they’ll have to be more consistent on both ends of the loor if Memphis expects to make it to the NCAA tournament. Said coach Josh Pastner of Nichols: “He’s getting stronger and bigger. He’s gotta really spend time on working on his ability to make the 15- to 17-foot shot consistently. That’s a big key.” And, Pastner emphasized, “He’s gotta lead. He’s gotta take the game really seriously this ofseason so he can do what we need him to do this year. I think he’s understanding that he’s gotta put the extra work in beyond just what we practice to really work on his game to take the next step.”

Atlanta native Alexander DeRosa took the lead June 19 at the Bubba Conlee Classic on the par-3 16th, where he sneaked in a 35-foot putt from the fringe just in the corner of the hole, raising his club higher and higher as the putt found its home in the bottom of the cup. Defending champion Braden Thornberry, now down one stroke, left his birdie putt on 17 a foot short and missed a long birdie putt on 18 that would have forced a playof. “It’s tough when you go from a three-shot lead, you don’t choke at all, and they just take it from you,” Thornberry said. “I felt like I played good coming down the stretch. Just a couple bad breaks, but other than that I’m happy. While walking to the par-5 15th tee at Quail Ridge in Bartlett with a three-shot lead, Thornberry had a cut-and-dried game plan. “I’m trying to make birdie,” Thornberry said. “Seal it.” Approaching the tee closely behind was DeRosa, who led coming into the third and inal round, but had encountered a problem the night before the inal round.. He couldn’t sleep. “It didn’t help,” said his mother, Tracey, “that we had an air conditioner in our hotel that sounded like a helicopter.” Fighting the lingering efects of the noisy appliance and unsettled nerves, DeRosa struggled to a 36

on his front nine. DeRosa’s three-putt bogey on No. 12 coupled with Thornberry’s perfectly read birdie putt on 13 distanced the defending champion and Ole Miss commitment to a threeshot lead as the inal group approached 15. Thornberry, a DeSoto Central senior, hooked his tee shot left on 15, bouncing of the roof of a golf cart and coming to rest in an unplayable lie, wedged between a root and tree. He took a drop and put his approach in a greenside bunker, eventually bogeying the hole. As rules oicials and the small group following the action convened around Thornberry’s ball, DeRosa disappeared. He set of for the nearby woods, primarily to use the restroom but also to clear his mind. “Just trying to stay loose and not think about it,” DeRosa said with a wide smile. He grabbed his pitching wedge and stuck a beautifully placed shot within eight feet of the hole, sinking his eagle opportunity to pull even with Thornberry. On the girls’ side, Collierville native Jayna Choi defeated Sabrina Long with a birdie on the irst playof hole to capture the title. As her family celebrated wildly behind her, Choi, a rising eighth- grader, was still surprised that the putt from the fringe on the 18th green went down. “It was just surprising to me that I made it,” Choi said. “It was breaking a lot and I was kind of scared I’d hit it too much and get it over the hill.”

THIS MISS IS A HIT Addison Maxwell of ECS was recently named Division 2-A Miss Softball by the Tennessee Softball Coaches Association. She played in the Tennessee Softball Coaches Assocation All-Star game at Lipscomb University June 16 and was chosen for the Tennessee All-Star team that will play the Kentucky All-Stars Thursday at Western Kentucky University. Maxwell, who will play for the University of Memphis starting this fall, inished her senior season hitting .565 with three home runs. She also scored 39 times for the Lady Eagles as well as accumulating 24 RBI’s in the lead of position.

Will Jamison experiences trip of a lifetime to Omaha By Pete Wickham Special to The Weekly

Will Jamison and his Ole Miss teammates heard the pep talk from Mike Bianco the irst time after a doubleheader loss to then No. 1-ranked South Carolina in March. Every time they hit a bump in the road after that, same speech. That road, and that speech, took the Rebels somewhere they hadn’t been in 42 years: Omaha and the College World Series. And they did something no other Rebel team ever accomplished, making it to the semiinals before losing their second decision to Virginia, 4-1. “We’d beaten South Carolina on Friday, then lost two Saturday and were kind of broken up about it,” said Jamison, a junior outielder from ECS. “But coach Bianco said, ‘We beat the No. 1 team in the country, we can beat anybody.” Two weeks later, the Rebs were swept at Alabama. Same speech, and they rallied to go 15-6 down the stretch and claim the SEC West title by winning two of three at Texas A&M. They lost the opener of the

NCAA Super Regional at Louisiana Lafayette, and rallied to take two games and break a string of four straight losses in that round. “He kept telling us to turn pressure into pleasure,” Jamison said, “We got on board and bounced back all year. You saw it in the World Series.” The Rebs (48-21) lost a 2-1 opening decision to Virginia, then eliminated Texas Tech 2-1 and TCU 6-4 before being eliminated by the Cavaliers last Saturday. “I think what made it special is that on this team there was no really big-time star, but pretty good team chemistry,” said Jamison. “That’s why this season was so special.” Jamison bought in even though he found himself losing playing time to highly-regarded freshman prospect J.D. Woodman, who came in swinging. Woodman hit .298 in 58 games (51 starts), and hit .325 in SEC play. Jamison, who started 38 games and played 51 as a right ielder, hit .248 with two homers and 13 RBI, and .222 in SEC play. “Coach Bianco would play me during the weekend, but he’d start other guys in the weekday

games. And if you had a bad weekending hitting you never could really work through it like you can when you’re playing during the week,” said Jamison, who hit .281 as a sophomore. “J.D. swung the bat pretty well ... He was doing his job and you can’t keep his bat out of the lineup.” They also shared the experience of a lifetime, which trumps anything negative. “You got to the state tourna-

ment in high school and you get to play in a college stadium and it’s a pretty good experience,” said Jamison, who led ECS to a Division 2-A title in 2011. “But T.D. Ameritrade Park … It’s beautiful. There’s 20,000-25,000 fans there every game between locals and the folks who follow the teams. And to see our fans, who were chomping at the bit to get to Omaha after 42 years … It’s just special to be part of that, and

now to be able to say this was the greatest team to ever play in Omaha, though it’s not so much about that for me as the friends I’ve made along the way. “I’ll be telling that story as long as I’m living.” Jamison, a 40th-round pick by Cleveland out of high school, said he was approached by the Washington Nationals about signing as an undrafted free agent, but he will return for his senior season, looking to ill center ield gap left when San Diego made junior Auston Bousield a ifth-round pick. That’s where they want me to concentrate on next year,” said Jamison. “When you go this far in the postseason you can’t really hook up for summer ball. That season ends in three weeks. So I’ll get in some games in the league in Millington, go back to Ole Miss, hit the weight room and get back after it.” Bianco had a pep talk for his veteran. “Will’s been a terriic player the last three seasons,” he said. “Much of the success we experienced this season was with the veterans who have played here a lot and led us. We’ll be leaning on him to lead next year.”

Brooke Wilkins helps tournament partner David Shipman hold up a big catfish just before taking it to the scales during the Bass Pro Shops Big Cat Quest event June 14 on the Mississippi River out of Tunica. The Corinth, Miss., residents captured first place in the event.

CORINTH’S

CORONATION Northeast Mississippi town rapidly becoming known as ‘Catfish USA’

atish tournament veteran Larry Muse is the furthest thing from a boastful person. He always says “please” and “yes sir” and “thank you,” and he’s always happy to help young anglers hone their skills so they become more competitive on the tournament trail. But on one issue, Muse doesn’t mind blowing his own horn. He wants to make sure people remember the 101.5pound blue catish he landed during the Bass Pro Shops Big Cat Quest national championship on Wilson Lake in 2008. Not only does he want his ish remembered, Muse wants it noted that only three catish have topped 100 pounds in Big Cat Quest events — and two of those giants were caught by anglers who live in his beloved hometown of Corinth, Miss. The other two monsters were caught by Corinth angler Phil King and Missouri angler Cary Winchester. Corinth, a city in Alcorn County with a population of 14,573, had already been dubbed “Catish USA” with anglers like Muse, David Shipman, Tim Haynie and Phil King calling it home. Then on June 14 20-yearold business owner Brooke Wilkins added her name to the list, joining forces with Shipman to win the Big Cat Quest event on the Mississippi River from Tunica River Park. It’s a catish culture that Muse said starts early for Corinth residents. “I think it’s our proximity to the Tennessee River, and we all grew up ishing below Pickwick Dam,” Muse said. “Just about every one of the guys from Corinth who ish these tournaments, I can remember seeing them in the boat with their daddies and granddaddies when we were all kids. It starts early here.” Muse said most of the Corinth anglers started young learning a technique called “bumping bottom” below Pickwick Dam. Now they’re applying modern technology to that tactic, and the results have been amazing. Muse recalled a past catish tournament in Clarksville, Tennessee, with a ield of 80 boats. Eight of the top 10 spots went to teams from Corinth — and there were only eight Corinth boats in the tournament. “Think about that,” Muse said. “Eight boats from Corinth in the whole ield, and they all made the

top 10. That’s real solid.” The June 14 event out of Tunica also had a distinct Corinth lavor near the top of the standings, as Shipman and Wilkins took irst with 128.70 and Muse teamed with fellow Corinth anglers Dino Meador and Frank Meador to inish second with 112.20. “I’ve just always loved to ish,” said Wilkins, who owns the restaurant Martha’s Menu in Corinth. “David (Shipman)’s been coming into my restaurant for a long time, so we just decided to see if we made a good team. It’s been a lot of fun.” Perhaps the biggest honor involving a team of Corinth anglers came in 2011 when Haynie, King and Shipman were invited to represent the United States in the World Catish Classic on the Ebro River in Chiprana, Spain. While ishing waters they had never seen before and targeting species of catish that aren’t likely to show up below Pickwick Dam, they missed claiming the world title by 1 pound, 3 ounces. If ever there was a second-place inish to be proud of, that was it. “That was kind of a unique deal because I was the runner. I couldn’t touch a reel-and-rod,” Shipman said. “They were ishing of the bank. So it was my job to take a baited hook out in a row boat with a depth inder to look for those big Wells catish and drop the bait on one of them. I feel like I did a pretty good job.” Still, inishing second in the world isn’t the accomplishment Shipman is most proud of. He’s most proud of holding the Big Cat Quest record for

heaviest ive-ish stringer caught in a competitive event. The ive ish, which were caught from Alabama’s Wheeler Lake, weighed 270.95 pounds — and could have weighed more. “At 10 o’clock that morning, I had three 60s, a 30 and a 14 in the live well, and I decided to go ahead and weigh some of them because I didn’t want them to die,” Shipman said. “I weighed the three 60s and then went

ahead and weighed the 30 — and that was a mistake. I should have waited and I could have had ive ish that weighed over 300 pounds.” Shipman’s record has stood since 2008. If it’s ever broken, don’t be shocked if it falls to one of Shipman’s Corinth neighbors. To reach Bryan Brasher, call 901-529-2343 or e-mail brasher@commercialappeal.com.

Little Helpers collecting art supplies Special to The Weekly

Throughout July, the family volunteer group Little Helpers will be collecting arts supplies for patients of St. Jude Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Research Hospital. Drop of supplies at Donut Hutt in Collierville, 1016 W. Poplar, St. 111. Owner Rick Brenneman says heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll give those who donate a free doughnut. There also will be a special meet up on July 31 at Donut Hutt from 1-3 p.m. Guests will be make crowns for kids at St. Jude. Joining in the festivities will be St. Jude patient Alyssa de Jong. She will collect the items and deliver them to St. Jude. Alyssa says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;When Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m stuck waiting on appointments it gets boring, especially on long days at St. Jude. Art projects help me pass the time in a fun way.â&#x20AC;? In 2012 at age 9, de Jong of Bartlett was diagnosed with melanoma,

which is rare in children. She was referred to St. Jude Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Research Hospital. In 2013, less than a year after her cancer diagnosis, Alyssaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 6-year-old cousin Tyler West was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia and was also referred to St. Jude. Around the same time, Alyssaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family received the news they had been waiting for since the day she was born â&#x20AC;&#x201D; she had a diagnosis. Micro deletion chromosome disorder, Koolen de Vries syndrome, afects an estimated one in 20,000 children, but so far only around 100 children have been diagnosed.
