At the start of his senior year, Houston High School student Ronald Nelson had planned to apply to a few state colleges in the area. His teachers, parents and friends soon encouraged him to broaden his scope. “A general consensus was, ‘you’ve done a lot through your four years of high school,” the 17-year-old Memphis resident said. Eight months later, Nelson has been accepted to all eight Ivy League schools, a feat accomplished so rarely it usually makes national news.

oicials mull wage raise for town employees Pay would increase to $12.45 an hour By Jennifer Pignolet pignolet@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2372

Collierville is considering raising its minimum wage for town employees from $10.35 an hour to $12.45 to help it attract and retain workers. About 40 of Collierville’s 508 employees make less than $12.45

an hour, oicials were told April 9 at a Board of Mayor and Aldermen budget work session. Tennessee minimum wage is $7.25 an hour, but town oicials say that’s not nearly enough for them to recruit and retain quality employees, let alone ofer a living wage. “Obviously since 2008 we’ve not — and no one has — given big raises,” Town Administrator James Lewellen said. “But we’re inding ourselves a little bit behind the market.”

Germantown’s minimum is $10.04, Bartlett’s is $11.41 an hour, and that’s for a clerical worker; and in Memphis, it’s about $12 an hour. According to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s living wage calculator, a living wage for a single person in Collierville is $9.76 an hour. But if that single person has one child, the living wage goes up to $18.18 an hour. Parks director Chip Petersen said he loses workers frequently when they ind another job that

pays as little as 25 cents more an hour. “My crew leaders are the ones that are very concerned about it because they’re responsible for training those guys,” Petersen said. Lewellen said the goal is to implement the raises, which would be in addition to merit raises, as part of the next budget. That would mean employees would see the increases on their paychecks after July 1. Lewellen said the rough estimate of the

cost to the town is $360,000 a year to bring all the employees up to the new minimum, but that doesn’t take into account that some of those employees will be receiving merit raises anyway. The town is also hoping to increase its merit raises from 3 percent to 4 percent for all employees, Lewellen said. The cost of that is estimated at $460,000. “We’d like to do an adjustment and move the ranges, both at the bottom and at the top this year, if we can aford it,” he said.

GPD oicer arrested on rape charge

Germantown police oficer James Kensinger has been suspended after he was arrested by Memphis police on charges of aggravated rape, aggravated assault and domestic assault causing bodily harm. According to Shelby County Jail records, Kensinger was arrested April 7 and was released on bond April 8. Kensinger, 32, is suspended with pay pending an investigation. According to the aidavit, a woman reported to Memphis police April 7 that Kensinger had choked and raped her in a house in Memphis two days earlier. The aidavit says he waived his right to an attorney and said the alleged assault was consensual sex.

Germantown Municipal School District Supt. Jason Manuel called Nelson a “well-rounded” student. “It’s been a pleasure to watch him grow up; such a great representative of our system,” Manuel said. In addition to his Houston teachers, Nelson credited his parents — Nelson Sr. is an engineer for the Federal Aviation Administration and Sandra Nelson works in management for FedEx — with motivating him to achieve. He said he frequently looks at newspaper clippings written about his grandfather, an Army doctor, and his grandmother, an Army nurse. “It just means so much to me to see what they have done over the generations,” he said.

Sidewalk improvements promote safe walking City seeks grant for repair work By Jennifer Pignolet pignolet@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2372

Evan Lehman is quick to correct his mother’s assessment of his age using a whole number. “Six and three-quarters,” he says on their way home from Riverdale Elementary School last week, emphasizing the fraction as he bolts down the sidewalk, his “Star Wars” backpack and lunch box bouncing on his back as he runs. His argument is that he’s old enough to walk to and from school on his own. Their house is just a few blocks from Riverdale. But Michelle Lehman is quick to remind him, not only is he just 6¾, but the sidewalks end. Their house is on a dead-end street, but they have to choose between walking in the street and walking on someone’s lawn.

And the sidewalk that does exist often has gaps or is crumbling in some areas, and has caused her 4-year-old to scrape her hands and knees just walking to school. “If they can improve anything,” she says of the city, “the parents would be very appreciative.” Germantown has applied for a $250,000 grant to make sidewalk, crosswalk and bike lane improvements to a 1-mile radius around Riverdale elementary and middle schools, which share a tucked-away neighborhood campus of Neshoba Road. City oicials will ind out next month whether they’ve been awarded the grant, but have pledged to do the project regardless if the Board of Mayor and Aldermen approve it as part of the list of capital improvements for the year. The ive-year plan is to do improvements around every Germantown municipal school, and possibly around the other three public schools

within the city limits that remain under Shelby County control. City Administrator Patrick Lawton said the city has looked into adding sidewalks in the Riverdale neighborhoods before but encountered some resistance from people living in areas with older homes. He said the availability of the Tennessee Department of Transportation grant has refocused en-

ergy on the idea. The city will work closely with the Poplar Estates and Germantown Heights neighborhood associations, he said, to make sure the areas that need sidewalks the most are targeted and that the work encroaches on as few lawns as possible. “We’ve identiied the need now, having the schools, and recognizing the need to provide safe

routes to school for our kids is now becoming a priority,” Lawton said. The board also said in a retreat this year that they wanted to improve bike lanes for kids to use to get to school. According to the grant application, a total of 847 Riverdale students, or 67 percent, live within a 2-mile radius of the school, but only 20 percent of the total popula-

tion walks or rides a bike to school. Supt. Jason Manuel said the municipal district wants to promote walking and biking to school. “I think if there were safer ways to get to school you would see a healthier lifestyle develop,” he said. Manuel said safety has been the biggest concern. But because of the district’s parent responsibility zones — which vary from a 1½ to 2 miles depending on the school — kids who live close to school can’t catch a bus. “Of course, we don’t want them walking through landscape or people’s yards, but when they walk in the streets there’s a safety concern,” he said. It’s the same concern Michelle Lehman has about Evan walking to school, but she said she enjoys the time together to talk about her kids’ days. “It depends on the weather and the timing,” Lehman said. “When the weather is nice, how can you not walk?”

GOING GREEN

West Tenn. Iris Society presents annual show and competition Special to The Weekly

The West Tennessee Iris Society will hold its 30th annual Iris Show April 25 at the Pickering Center, 7771 Poplar Pike. The theme of this year’s show is “pizzazz.” There will be two divisions, horticulture and design. Horticultural specimens will be single stalks of iris. In the design competition, there will be 20 designs in five classes. Ribbons and prizes will be awarded to the best entries in each division. Anyone may enter stalks of iris in the horticultural

division, as long as the contestant has grown the iris and it is a named cultivar. Entry in the design division is by invitation only. Club members will be on hand to assist with information on grooming and showing Iris Stalks or to answer all your questions about growing the iris, which is Tennessee’s state flower. Registration will be 7:30-10:15 a.m. and the show is open to the public for free, from 1-4 p.m. “We’re excited to invite the general public to see our show,” said Chuck Winters, WTIS club presi-

dent. “The exhibitors will display some of the newer hybrids as well as some old favorites, and the show will feature some attractive floral designs. If you have a friend or family member who loves gardening or flowers, the show is a perfect Sunday afternoon activity. We will also have about 150 potted iris plants available for sale at the show.” The club created and maintains the West Tennessee Iris Society Garden, located at the corner of Poplar Pike and West Street in the heart of old Germantown.

CEOs meet for round table discussion By Kristi Ransom Special to The Weekly

On April 1, Germantown Mayor Mike Palazzolo met with several area CEOs as part of a newly formed CEO Roundtable. Palazzolo proposed this group and said he recognizes “the need for the top level executives within the City of Germantown to meet peer-to-peer and discuss matters of mutual concern regarding the challenges and opportunities that face our organizations and the greater community.” During the first meeting, the group discussed the Germantown Forward 2030 Strategic Planning Steering Committee and the group’s progress to date. Also discussed were Insure Tennessee and the impact of medical costs to area hospitals.

Earlier this month, Germantown Mayor Mike Palazzolo (third from left) held a roundtable discussion with area CEOs.

Joining Palazzolo and City Administrator Patrick Lawton were Cary Whitehead of Boyle Investment Company, Dick Leike of Crye-Leike Realty, Germantown Municipal School District Supt. Jason Manuel, Spence Ray of McNeill Commercial Real Estate, William Kenley of Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare, Brian Barbeito of Mid-South Imaging and Therapeutics, Jean Morton

of SunTrust Bank, Renee Victory of Union University and Ron Rukstad of The Village at Germantown. The Roundtable will meet quarterly to discuss topics such as innovative management, strategic and operational issues, best practices and how to learn from mistakes. The goal is to strengthen Germantown by sharing knowledge and insight among fellow CEOs.

The Answer is YES! Anyone who knows me will tell you I am a straight up guy. I’ve held off on commenting on the erectile dysfunction (ED) controversy until I was able to really do my homework. Well the results are in.

ASK DR. JOHNSON: Does Anything Actually Work?

Whether it occurs due to an accident, a recent surgery (prostate cancer is a biggie), diabetes, or simply due to aging, the accompanying loss of self esteem is something that effects millions of men every day. And in a nutshell, that seems to be the problem - every man’s ED problem is different and requires different treatment.

Somebody who specializes in men’s sexual health. After extensive research, the only approach that makes sense comes from companies called the Men’s Clinic that have been opening across the country. There’s one here in Memphis. The Memphis Men’s Clinic specializes in ED and that’s all they do. Their doctors seem to be the only ones who realize that ED effects every man differently. They have uniquely combined three medically approved ingredients for ED into 70 different formulations --- one of which will make “it” start happening immediately --- and I mean immediately for over 92% of all men experiencing ED. In fact, if “it” doesn’t start happening on the irst visit, you don’t pay a single penny.

Why didn’t my doctor tell me? Don’t expect much help from your family doctor. How you perform in the bedroom is not really his concern and he will probably just prescribe some “pills”.

What color is your favorite pill?

Regardless of your age -

Drug companies have jumped all over this like a --- well a drug company. I don’t have to say the names --- we’ve all seen the ads --- but they’ve spent millions trying to convince you all that one pill ixes all --- when in actuality they fail over 50% of the time. And that’s just a fact.

Dr. Johnson is a board-certiied physician specializing in men’s health at the Memphis Men’s Clinic.

Regardless of your medical history or your age --- they have satisied patients ranging from 23 to 91 --- if you suffer from ED you should call the--Memphis Men’s Clinic at ------901-443-0480 today to schedule an appointment and regain your sexual health.

Nightlife

GAME ON

The Rec Room is a vintage arcade that recently opened on Broad serving beer, food and nostalgia.

PHOTOS BY NIKKI BOERTMAN/THE COMMERCIAL APPEAL

Keith Price and Richard Parkinson play each other in “FIFA 2015” on 20-foot wall projections at the Rec Room. One wall of the converted warehouse on Broad Avenue has been divided into mammoth screens, each a focal point of a “living room” where players can recreate home gaming in a social atmosphere.

Rec Room delivers ‘arcade bar’ concept to Memphis By Chris Herrington chris.herrington@commercialappeal.com 901-529-6510

“M

y ‘RoboCop’ died,” says John Morgan glumly. “I think the monitor died last night. But it’s probably 20 years old.” It’s an of day at the Rec Room, a new “arcade bar” or “social entertainment” space in a warehouse at the relatively lonely corner of Broad and Tillman, well past the point where the emerging Broad Avenue Arts District has yielded to its lingering industrial roots. The Rec Room had conducted a “family and friends” introduction the night before and would open oicially the night after, but on this Tuesday afternoon it’s still busy being born. If “RoboCop” died, other vintage arcade cabinet games — “Ms. Pac-Man,” “Donkey Kong,” “Tron,” “Galaxian,” the obscure “BurgerTime” — are still operational. A deck is being constructed. A sound system is being ine-tuned. Paint is drying on Pac-Man-themed cofee tables. A freshly acquired Guns ‘N’ Roses pinball machine is being inspected. And a plan is being hatched for a go-for-broke skee-ball rescue mission to Nashville (and back!) the next morning. As a 6,000-square-foot space full of vintage video and pinball games, table games, six mammoth projection screens, a craft beer bar, a food truck dock and more, you might think the Rec Room has been gestating for a while. You would be wrong. It was only four months ago that Morgan, a 25-year-old sculptor, acquired a trove of mothballed, inoperable cabinet games from a Downtown warehouse looking to clear space. Morgan’s initial goal was to “ix them and play them,” though he also had a bar/arcade idea in mind. But irst he needed space to store and repair the games. “I met him 45 days ago,” says Taylor Berger, a retail broker and entrepreneur who was instrumental in last spring’s revelatory “Brewery: Untapped,” and who had a couple of other projects percolating: the Truck Stop food-truck restaurant and a Midtown bowling alley idea. Morgan had the games, and Berger had access to the warehouse space, with a mutual friend making a match. Coincidentally, Berger had met a few weeks earlier with Bill Ganus, a sales executive for Buckman, to brainstorm ideas. One of the ideas Ganus suggested was an arcade bar. The games were moved into the warehouse on Broad on Feb. 28, and that day, Berger tweeted a picture of a “Pac-Man” machine with the cryptic message “Coming April 2015. Because beer and arcade games melt faces.”

“Once we moved all of (John’s) games in here, we were just going to store them,” says Ganus, one of what are now 12 investors in the project, including some of Berger’s partners from both the “Untapped” and the bowling alley projects. “As soon as we got the games in, we knew they needed to stay; that we needed to make this space somewhere (people) would want to come and hang out.” he modern, arcade-style video game was born in a bar, the Dutch Goose near Stanford University, where Atari founder Nolan Bushnell installed the irst cabinet game, “Computer Space.” In the “Space Invaders”- and “Pac-Man”-fueled late ’70s and early ’80s, the exploding popularity of these games spurred a migration from bars to kid-friendly arcades, and then into the home. It was the home that mostly killed the arcade. Improving technology, both of the games and the televisions on which they were played, moved gaming from public to mostly private spaces. But over the past decade, arcades have made a comeback, often pairing classic games with craft beer to pull video gaming back into the bars from which it sprang and to attract adults nostalgic for the games of their youth. While it may not have been the irst “arcade bar,” the trend is typically credited to Barcade, a Brooklyn establishment that evolved into a Northeastern mini-chain and whose nowtrademarked moniker has become shorthand for the similarly themed bars that have sprouted from California to Maine. “It’s a diferent spin on the arcade,” says Helgeson. “I think it probably attracts a crowd that’s diferent, older, spends more money. You have to supplement that income. You can’t get by

with just quarters anymore. You have to be selling booze and food.” n perhaps typical Memphis fashion, the Rec Room is both a late entrant to the arcade bar trend and yet stubbornly apart from it. As the name implies, it’s less ixated on video-game culture than on creating an active, fun, unconventional social space full of all kinds of games people might have played in arcades or family rec rooms over the past several decades. Also true to the “Rec Room” name, and perhaps setting it apart from other arcade bars around the country, is the Rec Room’s re-creation of home gaming in a social space. Ganus had the idea early on to paint white one entire wall, which has been divided into six 20-by-20-foot screens, ive of them the focal point of a “living room” containing cushy couches and recliners. (The kind that have cup holders built in? But of course.) Each living room has a gaming console — a Sega Genesis, a Nintendo, a Nintendo 64, even a more modern Wii — that projects onto a big screen. (A sixth screen is set aside for sporting events or other programming.)

t the opening, there are more than a dozen arcade cabinet games set up along with the ive

“living rooms.” Overlooking the table game area is a set of wooden bleachers rescued from the Imperial Lanes bowling alley on Summer Avenue, which lend a little bit of a junior high pep rally feel. “There’s nothing more fun than sitting on the bleachers with a cold beer heckling your friends playing PingPong,” says Ganus. Two men balance beer and table tennis while a couple of kids do battle on “Street Fighter 2,” their mother tossing a wooden skee-ball next to them. At the opposite end of the room, a group of young men test out the “Donkey Kong” and “Ms. Pac-Man” machines. At adjacent living rooms, “Super Mario Bros.” and “NBA2K15” are up on the big screens. A man is playing Grizzlies vs. Nets, the home team losing to its former coach. “We have more things to do than we have space to do them in, so it will be a lexible, rotating game space,” says Ganus, who is overseeing the gaming aspect of the Rec Room, with Morgan leasing his arcade games to the space and also serving as its “game warden.” Out on the now-completed deck, grilled cheese and tacos are being served by the Fuel food truck. (A dedicated Rec Room truck is in the works.) And the sound system is playing, of all things, classic country. How does it work? There is no cover charge, and the space becomes 21-andover starting at 9 p.m. Arcade video games, pinball, skee-ball and table games will all be free to play. Living room game consoles can be rented for $25 an hour, with a reservation system that’s accessible on the Rec Room website, with a mobile app likely to follow. Even as the Rec Room was opening — barely more than a month from its conception — much of this was still being sorted out.

By Beth Rooks Special to The Weekly

Briarcrest senior Megan Henry of Germantown recently signed her National Letter of Intent to play college soccer at Vanderbilt University. The speedy four-year starter anchored a stalwart Lady Saints defense which only allowed 19 goals in 21 games in helping Briarcrest to a school best 17-2-2 record and a state runner-up inish. She also scored six goals and added four assists during her senior season. Henry, a three-time AllRegion selection, two-time Pepsi Best of the Preps selection, All-State and All-South honoree, was a team captain. She’s also one of ive area players to be named a inalist for the BOP soccer award. Attending the ceremo-

ny were four of Henry’s coaches including Briarcrest head coach Alexis Heinz, Rick Colling, Nenad Lukic and Clint Browne. “Megan’s speed, technical ability and strength make her an incredible athlete,” said Heinz. “Her commitment and desire made her essential to this team. Megan showed leadership every second she stepped on the ield to run, to prac-

tice and to play.” Heinz continued, “I don’t think I’m wrong to say that Megan is in the record books as one of the most important athletes to go through Briarcrest. More than that, she is truly a good person backed by a good family. She is humble in her achievements, and she deals very gracefully with the attention and the pressure that comes with her abilities.”

Tipton-Rosemark Academy — the defending Division 2-A state softball champion — hasn’t had much trouble so far this season. That is, as long as the Rebels are playing anyone but Houston. The Mustangs — ranked ifth in The Commercial Appeal Super Six — got a standout pitching performance from senior Jenna Cotter and plenty of timely hits to defeat the visiting Rebels 7-0 on April 9. Tipton-Rosema rk , which entered the game at No. 1 in the rankings, falls to 17-2, with both losses coming to Houston. The Mustangs (11-3) won an earlier meeting 3-2 during a tournament in Cookeville last month. “It was a long day, longer than I would have liked,” said TRA coach Johnie Sanfratello. “They had a couple of — I hate to say it — little dinks that found holes and we couldn’t climb out. And she’s a really good pitcher.” Cotter, who has had the decision in all of Houston’s games, had her strong stuf from the get-go. She struck out the side in the irst and the second and inished with 11 strikeouts, while allowing only three hits. “I used my rise ball a lot, and I felt good in the warm-up,” the senior said. “I can always tell. ... It was coming out of my hand spinning really well.” Mary Collins, Cotter’s battery mate, parked a Rachel Whitley ofering over the fence in left-center in

the fourth to close out Houston’s scoring. It was her third of the year after reaching double-digits in 2013. “Oh yeah,” the senior said when asked if she was being pitched diferently. “I’m getting a lot (of pitches) high and outside or at the top of the strike zone.” Houston took control of the game with a iverun third. Cotter drove in the irst run before walks to Collins and Maggie Crigler loaded the bases. Kylie Robertson then singled in two runs before Whitley was called for an illegal pitch that made it 4-0. Freshman Kayla Parker then drove in a run to inish the rally. “We just match up well with them,” said Mustangs coach Matt Parker. “We have more seniors and

they’re kind of rebuilding. Our seniors have been around so long, a lot of times I don’t even have to say anything because they’ve already said it.”

Sports TENNESSEE SPORTS HALL OF FAME

Four with Memphis ties to be inducted into Hall of Fame The Commercial Appeal

Former NFL star Isaac Bruce, legendary MUS football coach Jake Rudolph and former Memphis Showboats owner Billy Dunavant are among the 12 honorees in the Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame’s Class of 2015. This year’s class will be inducted during ceremonies at the Omni Hotel in Nashville on June 6.

Bruce — a standout for two seasons at the University of Memphis — was drafted by the thenLos Angeles Rams in the second round of the 1994 draft. He was named rookie of the year that season and went on to the Pro Bowl four times. He was part of the Rams Super Bowl 34 championship team and ranks among the leading pass-catchers of all time, with 1,024 re-

years at MUS. He guided the Owls to the AA state championship in 1985, while inishing as runner-

up in 1983 and 1990. Dunavant, CEO and president of Dunavant Enterprises, has been a longtime igure on the Memphis sports scene. In addition to owning the Showboats, he funded the construction of the Memphis Racquet Club in 1974 and was also a driving force in attempting to secure an NFL expansion team for the city. Former CBHS wrestling star Nick Marable will

also be honored after being named the state’s male professional athlete of the year. Marable, who won two state titles and a Cadet National title while in high school, inished eighth in the 154-pound class at the 2014 World Championships in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. He also won the U.S. Open title and competed at the Freestyle World Cup in Los Angeles.

PREP TRACK & FIELD

MUS hosts Torrebee Speed Meet By John Varlas varlas@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2350

As the defending Division 2 state champions, the Memphis University School track team knows all about inishing fast. On April 7, the Owls took things to a new level. MUS and visiting Briarcrest took part in the Torrebee Speed Meet. The goal was to complete the meet in 15 minutes. And when Owls runner Davis Harano crossed the line to end the 3,200, they accomplished their goal with about seven seconds to spare. “I didn’t think it was possible,” said MUS senior Chris Davis, who won the 400 in 52.03. “I’ll never get to do anything like this in college. I think (Owls) coach (Bobby) Alston did a spectacular job.” Alston deferred the credit to others. The meet was named for Owls stats guru Dax Torrey and assistant trainer David Ferebee, who helped come up with the idea. Several other MUS coaches were on hand to make sure the clockwork-like eiciency needed to pull of such an outlandish feat was maintained. “You do so many of these things (hosting meets) and you start to look for ways where you can speed things up,” said Alston. “We hadn’t seen anyone else try this so we just decided to throw it out there.” There were no ield events, no relays and no hurdles races. The races started in the normal positions on the track but all the runners — from 100 to 3,200 meters — were on the track at the same time. Alston said the only concession was that the 400-meter runners couldn’t use starting blocks. “That could have made things a little hairy,” he said. With no one being able to run in more than one event, the Owls needed another deep team to ill out the ield. That’s where Briarcrest came in. “Coach Alston e-mailed me about it last week,” said Saints coach Kent Austell. “I think it’s great; it makes the sport a little more exciting. Track meets are notorious for going four or ive hours ... but this was a blast.” The Owls won all the races. Jalen Love took the 100 in 12.03, followed by Marcus Evans in the 200 (24.49). Pierce Rose, Terrell Jackson and Carlton Orange — who are part of the Owls’ 3,200-meter relay team that has the fastest time in the nation — dominated in winning the 800, 1,600 and 3,200 respectively. The meet was videotaped and Alston said the school hopes to have it posted on YouTube in the near future.

Records fall at Houston Classic By John Varlas varlas@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2350

Bolton track and field standout Jamara Washington says she doesn’t really have a particular event that she specializes in. What she specialized in last Saturday, though, was winning. Washington, a senior, won both hurdles races and both jumps — accounting for 40 of her team’s 81 points — en route to being named girls MVP at the Houston Track Classic. “I don’t really have a favorite,” Washington said. “I like them all; I can’t pick. I just pushed myself today to give it all I had.” Washington took irst in the 100 hurdles (15.14), 300 hurdles (a school record 45.68), long jump (18-0) and triple jump (35-7). It was an outstanding performance in a meet that was illed with them. Take MUS standout Carlton Orange. The senior — who is headed to Arkansas — seemed to barely break a sweat in winning the 400 in a meet-record 48.16. “I was trying to go under 48,” said Orange, who will compete at the prestigious

Central High’s Arethia Carter throws more than 135 feet to win the girls discus last Saturday morning at the Houston Track Classic.

Mt. San Antonio College meet in Walnut, Calif., this weekend. “I usually run the 400 to help me with my irst lap in the 800. It’s all part of the training.” The Owls’ 1,600-meter relay team of Chris Davis, Marcus Evans, Orange and Terrell Jackson took a shot at the state mark before settling for a meet-record 3:19.14. “I think in hindsight it’s good that we didn’t get the record,” said Davis, who won the 100 in 10.99 and inished second in the long jump and triple jump to win the boys MVP. “It lets us know that we

can’t just go out and set records any time we want. It’s back to the drawing board to work on some things ... and I’m just trying to do my part.” After Pierce Rose — who won the 1,600 earlier in the day — surged in the inal few meters to win the 3,200 — MUS had a shot at the boys team title. But Central inished second to the Owls in the 1,600 relay, giving the Warriors a victory by half a point (104-103.5). One of Central’s standouts was senior Khristopher Butler, who sported gold spikes while gutting through a lower leg injury to win the 300

hurdles in 39.53 and maintain his perfect record for the season. “I (painted) them myself,” he said. “It’s my trademark. I ran in the 4 by 200 (relay), and I was just icing up, getting ready. I’m kind of out of shape right now so I’m trying to work through it.” On the girls side, Hutchison’s Jaden Davis — a twotime Division 2 champion in the 400 — could be on her way to a possible three-peat after winning in 58.2. “I feel like I know what I can do; I don’t have anything left to prove to myself,” the future TCU runner said. “(But) there are always things you can work on. You never want to stop improving.” Houston — which was particularly strong in the distance races — dominated the girls competition, beating runner-up Bolton by 50.5 points. The Mustangs distance medley relay team of Sierra Henderson, Emma Reed, Shian Mallory and Ella Baran shattered the meet record Friday by 22 seconds (12:27.8). On Saturday, Mallory won the 800 (2:17.43), Reed took the 1,600 (5:21.38) and Baran led a 1-2-3 Houston sweep in the 3,200 (11:20.23).

PREP SOCCER

Houston edges top-ranked Christian Brothers in 1-0 victory By John Varlas varlas@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2350

Because of a deadline for tabulating the votes, last Thursday’s edition of The Commercial Appeal will had Christian Brothers irst and Houston second in the area soccer rankings. But there was no doubt who the better team was April 8. Freshman standout Stefano Della Rosa scored early and the Mustangs got a stellar second-half defensive efort to hand the host Purple Wave its irst loss of the year, 1-0, on the irst day of the annual Rivals Classic soccer weekend. Houston (9-1-0) put CBHS under pressure from the opening whistle and got the only goal eight minutes in when Della Rosa — the latest in the seemingly endless supply of talented Mustangs attackers — slotted one home from close range.

“We said in practice that Stefano would be the diference-maker,” said Mustangs coach David Wolf. “Everyone and their mother is going to be keying in on (star) Peyton McKnatt ... (but) Stefano and Ben Shepherd aren’t your average ninthgraders.” CBHS (6-1-0) took a while to get into the game but eventually started to create some chances late in the irst half. After the break, Chris DiPietro went close with a free kick and Cole Cannon was denied by a good save from Houston keeper Jeremy Albright. “Jeremy Albright was unbelievable,” said Wolf. “And Rex Jester and Logan Thornburg in the center of defense ... they played smart and they bowed up.” Said irst-year Brothers coach Nick Glaser, “We talked about how you can’t start slow. They pressed us and made it tough to get that goal back.”

NEWS FOR CRUISES

Debuting this spring, the 928-passenger cruise ship, Viking Star, is the irst of three new ships from Viking Ocean Cruises, with maiden voyages in Scandinavia and the Baltic and the Western and Eastern Mediterranean.

Food, fitness, Wi-Fi, focus is on wow factor By Beth J. Harpaz AP Travel Editor

EW YORK — Snow rooms, better Wi-Fi and a continued emphasis on specialty food and drink are some of the trends for cruising in the next year or two. Here are some details.

THE WOW FACTOR The industry that put skating rinks and waterslides on ships keeps “coming up with funky, cool things — that wow factor,” said Fran Golden, who writes for Porthole.com and USA Today’s Experience Cruise site. Royal Caribbean’s Anthem of the Seas debuts in April with the same innovations that made a splash at last year’s launch of its sister ship, Quantum of the Seas: robot bartenders, simulated sky diving, bumper cars and an observation capsule rising high above the sea. Norwegian Escape arrives in Miami in November with a snow room ofering freezing temperatures for post-sauna invigoration. The ship’s showcase food and drink includes a Margaritaville, Mondavi-brand wine bar, craft beer from Miami’s Wynwood Brewing and restaurants offering tapas and Latin seafood from celebrity chef Jose Garces. Viking, the company known for river cruises, is introducing an oceangoing vessel, Viking Star. With a capacity of 928, it’s small compared with megaships carrying 4,000, but Viking says it will be destination-oriented, with more time in port around the Mediterranean, Western Europe and Nordic region. All-inclusive prices will cover shore excursions, Wi-Fi, self-service laundry, wine, beer and specialty restaurants. Looking ahead to 2016, Carnival will launch its irst new ship in four years, Carnival Vista, with the irst Imax theater at sea and two new thrill attractions: a 455-foot-long (139 meters) multicolored tube slide called a Kaleid-o-Slide and SkyRide, a cycling ride suspended from a track. A Family Harbor area ofers more family accommodation options and a lounge hangout with large-screen TVs, games and concierge desk. Regent Seven Seas’ new Explorer ship, also debuting in 2016, will have one of the largest and priciest suites ever ofered at sea. The $5,000-anight, per person, Regent Suite will be 3,875 square feet, with grand piano and private spa. ITINERARIES AND EVENTS Disney Cruise Line brings “Frozen” to sea next summer with themed deck parties, character meet-and-greets, menus and performances on select sailings. Disney Magic itineraries include the Norwegian jords that in-

During new Disney Cruise Line sailings to Norway this summer, guests will discover breathtaking natural wonders such as magniicent mountain ranges and majestic jords while experiencing the enchanting Scandinavian culture. As part of the 2015 Norwegian Fjords itinerary, the Disney Magic sails to exciting new ports steeped in Viking history.

bookings. Last-minute deals work best for folks with lexible schedules who can drive to ports so they don’t need plane tickets, Levinstein said. Bargain cruises are especially prevalent in the Caribbean and Mexico due to an oversupply in the region, especially among “older and less attractive ships,” according to Rich Skinner, co-owner of Cruise Holidays of Woodinville, a Vacations.com brand. But Skinner also sees “signiicant increases to both Europe and Alaska prices.” And some cruises now have “valueadded” prices where you pay more but get more included, like alcohol, gratuities or Wi-Fi. This photo of a rendering provided by Regent Seven Seas Cruises depicts the living room from a one-of-a-kind luxury suite on the cruise line’s forthcoming ship, the Seven Seas Explorer, expected to debut in the summer of 2016. The suite, which includes a grand piano, is being billed as one of the largest and most expensive suites ever ofered at sea: 3,875 square-feet and $5,000 per person, per night, with a two-person minimum occupancy.

spired the hit movie. Cunard marks 175 years since its first ship Britannia crossed from England to North America. Cunard’s Queen Mary 2 departs Liverpool on the same route July 4, the date Britannia departed in 1840. All 2015 Cunard sailings will host anniversary events like themed balls. In May, all three Cunard ships — Queen Mary 2, Queen Elizabeth and Queen Victoria — will rendezvous for celebrations in Southampton and Liverpool.

EXPEDITION CRUISING An emerging trend identiied by CruiseCritic.com editor Carolyn Spencer Brown is expedition cruising or soft-adventure cruising to places like the Amazon. Land-based tour companies like Lindblad have long ofered voyages to exotic destinations like Antarctica and the Galapagos, but now luxury cruise companies like Silversea and Seabourn are getting into the business. “That means the comfort level and

sophistication level is going to rise, with more food options, cabins with balconies and suite accommodations,” said Spencer Brown, who recently cruised the Peruvian Amazon. “You won’t have to give up the comforts of home to do these trips.”

PRICES Cruise Market Watch says perperson, per-day expenditures on 2015 cruises will average $222, including ticket price and onboard spending. That’s a 3.5 percent increase over 2014. But there are still bargains. CruiseCompete.com has a Web page devoted to cruises under $300, including three-night trips on Golden Princess and Carnival Imagination starting in California with stops in Mexico. Bob Levinstein, CEO of CruiseCompete.com, advises “the absolute best deals are going to be last-minute.” That doesn’t mean the week before the cruise, but six or seven weeks out, after inal payments are due for advance

FOOD AND FITNESS Many cruise lines have partnered with famous chefs to appeal “to a foodie audience,” said Golden, of Porthole.com. Often the name-brand venues onboard are specialty restaurants, so you pay extra, but still less than what it costs to eat at the chef’s land-based restaurant. (An exception, Golden notes: Guy Fieri’s burgers are free on Carnival ships.) Cruises are also ofering more intense itness options, said Levinstein, like Norwegian Fight Klub, a cardio boxing program. People who are into itness are wary of cruising “because you eat all the time on a ship,” Levinstein said. Cruise lines can overcome those concerns with innovative ways to spend time at sea getting in shape instead of putting on weight. WI-FI Wi-Fi on cruises has been expensive and slow, but “there’s deinitely a big push to improve,” Levinstein said, especially on Royal Caribbean and Carnival. Carnival is piloting a social media package, with access to sites like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, for $5 daily or $25 per voyage. You pay more for email, Web-suring or Skype.

Landscapes (not exactly)

GARDEN VARIETY

The entrance to De Raad’s garden includes concrete mosaic sculptures. The first concrete sculptures she made are named “Millie” and “Jack.”

Wouterina De Raad mixes sculpture with horticulture for one-of-a-kind landscape By Kim Palmer (Minneapolis) Star Tribune

ELDENVILLE, Wis. — There are a lot of larger-thanlife characters inhabiting Wouterina De Raad’s garden. Stroll the grounds with the sunny artist, and she’ll introduce them to you one by one, in her charming Dutch accent.

Near the driveway, welcoming visitors, are the farming couple “Millie and Jack.” Anchoring one end of the clothesline is “Gary Knutson,” named for a neighbor. Over by a small pond is “Francisco,” inspired by a isherman she met in Mexico. There’s also a lying mermaid and a rooster dubbed “Loverboy.” The fanciful characters, about 100 in all, are mosaic sculptures that De Raad has created and displays in her expansive garden in Beldenville, Wis. “Everything has a story,” she said. Including De Raad herself. She grew up on her parents’ cofee plantation on the East Indian island of Java, where she absorbed the myths and legends that infuse her artwork. Even her name has an exotic back story. Her parents, both World War II concentration camp survivors, were separated during their coninement. “They didn’t think they’d ever see each other again, but they were reunited after the war,” De Raad said. When their daughter was born not long after that, they united their names — “Wouter” and “Rina.” Her family eventually returned to the Netherlands and in 1967, De Raad emigrated to the United States with her then-husband, a dental student who came to attend the University of Minnesota. By the late 1980s, De Raad was on her own. A iber artist at the time, she moved to the River Falls, Wis., area to study with a professor at the University of Wisconsin. That pivotal move led her to the land that became her garden and inspired her to embrace a new art form. She found a little farmhouse to rent. Built in 1874, it had no indoor plumbing and minimal electricity. She fell in love with the little house and

eventually persuaded her landlord to sell it to her. The previous tenants had been potters, and when they weren’t satisied with their pots, they smashed them against the trees. So De Raad raked up the shards and, being an artist, started imagining creative things she could do with them. Now that she was comfortable with cement, she tried her hand at making a concrete sculpture and decorating it with the shards. Her irst creation was “Millie,” the farm wife. Then she made “Jack,” Millie’s husband. Transforming her farmland into gardens became part of creating that magical environment. She started small. After she established one garden, she moved on to another. “I wanted to create rooms,” she said. Over the years, her eforts have gradually expanded into a series of “garden rooms” spread over 1.5 acres. The resourceful artist also constructed her own hardscape, including concrete benches,

a ireplace and even an outdoor sink next to her studio. When she’s not gardening or building fences, De Raad continues to make sculptures and teach others. In her studio, she experiments with other art projects, including making shadowboxes and quirky, playful lamps. But she still loves making concrete mosaic sculptures and honing her technique. She mixes her cement by hand, in a trough using a garden hoe. She doesn’t tile every piece of sculpture. De Raad also has unleashed her creativity on the little farmhouse. After she added a bathroom, she spent two months creating a vibrant mosaic-tiled shower inspired. Now a grandmother of four, De Raad has no desire to downshift to a more leisurely home or way of life. “I do love it,” she said of her self-created paradise. “I can garden, make sculpture and listen to the sounds” of wind and wildlife. “I would like to be buried here.”

GHS earns first financial investment crown By Linda K. Bourassa Special to The Weekly

Shoemaker Financial recently sponsored a sixweek investment competition between Germantown High School and Briarcrest High School. Each class was given $100,000 in virtual cash to use on a website that simulates the stock market. The winner was determined by the class with the best overall return after the six-week period. Germantown won the competition. This was the irst year to host the competition and Shoemaker

plans on making this an annual event. The competition included Shoemaker advisors visiting each school and giving a short â&#x20AC;&#x153;Investing 101â&#x20AC;? lesson to the participating classes. Each week during the competition there were leaderboard updates on Fridays during the Shoemaker radio program, TALK MONEY, on AM990. Teachers from each class were guests on the radio program and talked about their classâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; experience and investment strategies. According to GHS teacher Carrie Likely,

Mac Jenkins, managing partner/executive vice president at Shoemaker Financial, presents a check for $500 to Carrie Likely, teacher of the winning class at Germantown High School.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;They really enjoyed this competition. It was a very hands-on activity. Each day, we came together,

GERMANTOWN

looked at their stock portfolio and decided as a class whether or not to keep or sell the stock. Each stu-

dent had one voting right.â&#x20AC;? At the end of the sixweek competition, Likelyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fourth-period class at

Germantown High School had a 3 percent return and were declared the winners. The class received a check for $500, presented by Mac Jenkins, managing partner/executive vice president at Shoemaker Financial. Shoemaker also hosted a celebration for the winning students. The Briarcrest students also did very well with their portfolio and that success will be recognized with another celebration in the future. Linda K. Bourassa is president of Blue Moon, Inc.

By Kristi Ransom Special to The Weekly

Each year, the dedicated professionals who answer 911 calls are recognized during National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week. In 1991, Congress chose the second week in April to recognize these dedicated professionals. They are the irst line of defense in keeping our communities safe. In a show of gratitude for the service of the dispatchers, Shelby County emergency communications director Raymond Chiozza issued a Resolution of Appreciation to all 911 dispatchers in Shelby County. The Shelby County 911 emergency communications district board of directors presented each 911 dispatcher with an umbrella as a special thank you. Additionally, the Germantown Police Department presented dispatchers with a backpack as token of the Departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appreciation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our dispatchers are so very important to our police department,â&#x20AC;? said Germantown Police Chief Richard Hall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are the irst person someone talks to when they need help from our oicerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
