ECS has a new Head of School

Dan Peterson takes Bryan Miller’s place

By Mylissa Horrocks Special to The Weekly

Evangelical Christian School’s new Head of School is Dr. Dan Peterson.

Peterson will replace outgoing Head of School Bryan Miller, who has served the ECS community for 14 years.

Peterson comes to ECS from Regents School of Austin, where he was the Head of the School of Logic and Dr. Dan Middle School Peterson Principal. Regents School of Austin is the largest private school in the Austin, Texas area.

On moving to the MidSouth, Peterson said, “My family and I are excited to join the greater Memphis community. We have sensed an authenticity and pride from Memphians that is contagious. We truly sense there are great things ahead for the community of Memphis and we are excited to be a part of both its great heritage and future.”

After completing his undergraduate education at Carson-Newman University, Peterson went on to earn a masters of divinity in theology and a Ph.D. in leadership and Christian education from Southern Seminary in Louisville, Ky. Peterson will move to the Memphis area with his wife Brooke and their four schoolaged children in June.

City wants to tweak Smart Code, fix oversight Change would allow more comment time

By Jennifer Pignolet pignolet@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2372

Germantown city oicials are looking to correct a portion of the Smart Code to ix an accidental procedural change made in 2013 and allow the public more time to comment on projects.

Economic and Community Development Director Cameron Ross said the code as it reads gives a subcommittee of

the planning commission the inal say on major projects like the Thornwood development without requiring it to go to a full planning commission vote.

The proposed change, discussed in the subcommittee meeting Jan. 21, would give the subcommittee that voting power but would then send it to the full planning commission.

The change is one of 21 Smart Code revisions the commission is proposing, most of which are to clarify language in the code.

The changes will go in front of the full planning commission for a vote next month and then

to the Board of Mayor and Aldermen.

The Smart Code is the zoning code based on the concepts of Smart Growth development that the city adopted in 2007. Ross noted the public is not usually permitted to speak at the Smart Code committee or subcommittee meetings, but it has occasionally been allowed as a courtesy.

The full planning commission, which is broadcast live on the city’s website and on Germantown Municipal Television, has a built-in time for public comment.

Ross said the city never meant

to remove that step from the process. In fact, oicials had been bringing projects, including Thornwood, to the full planning commission, but had skipped the subcommittee vote.

He said the company that revised the city’s Smart Code in 2013 was not supposed to make changes to the section on procedures, so it went unnoticed until a citizen brought it to the attention of the planning staf that it had skipped a step in the new version of the code.

The staf pulled Thornwood phases four and ive, an apartment building and mixed-use

commercial property at the corner of Germantown Road and Neshoba, from a December planning commission agenda to review the correct procedure.

The commission then held a special subcommittee meeting later that month to formally vote on phases four and ive before sending them to full planning commission.

In that same meeting, the commission also went back and voted on phases one through three, which passed the full planning commission earlier last year, so that it was in keeping with the code.

A Farmington Elementary School assistant principal has resigned and a teacher has been suspended without pay.

Germantown Municipal School District Supt. Jason Manuel conirmed assistant principal Christopher Shumaker no longer works for the district, but said he could not comment further.

The name of the teacher suspended or what grade he or she taught was not released.

Manuel also would not conirm whether the two personnel issues were related. The resignation and suspension both occurred last Thursday.

The teacher is suspended pending an investigation, he said. If cleared of the unspeciied charges, the teacher would receive full back pay for the period of the suspension.

Attuned to nature Collierville museum showcases Indian music, dance

By Katie Fretland fretland@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2785

Linda Arthur played a wooden lute as the sun iltered through stained glass of purple, gold, green and blue last Saturday at the Morton Museum of Collierville History.

Arthur’s hair was tied in a long white ponytail and she wore red feathered earrings, while she stood playing “The Earth is Our Mother.” Sarah Grace Thompson, 12, and her mother Caroline Thompson sat atop blankets and beat on drums.

The performers, including Arthur’s 6-year-old granddaughter Jasmine Cordova, showcased American Indian song, dance and instruments during “Spotlight Saturday,” a free event at the museum.

Arthur, 57, was inspired during a visit

to the Grand Canyon about ive years ago, where she heard the music of R. Carlos Nakai.

“It just stopped me in my tracks,” she said. “It was so soothing.”

Arthur decided to learn and began taking lute lessons from Beverly Vance of Memphis.

Arthur often plays in Johnson Park, sitting at the tree line where she can hear the sounds of the Wolf River.

“It’s part of the music,” she said.

Six lutes were displayed last Saturday on a table draped in a red, green and beige cloth. One lute made of walnut was hand carved in the shape of an eagle.

Collierville resident David Sandifer, 58, who also plays the lute, came to listen. He studied anthropology at college and said he encourages others to experience the music.

“It is our history,” he said. “It’s as much

American music as jazz and blues and deserves to be heard and appreciated. It is unfortunately severely overlooked.”

The group of performers met through Girl Scouts. Jasmine’s mother put Caroline Thompson and Arthur in touch. Thompson is an area manager of the Girl Scouts.

“When we met, it was a kindred spirit kind of thing,” Thompson said.

Their music was inspired by the vibrations of the earth beneath feet, said Thompson, 48, who sang, danced and drummed with her daughter. They both wore white feathers in their hair.

“Doing it for the kids, seeing them sitting there smiling and singing, it’s awesome,” Sarah Grace Thompson said.

A $610,000 project to repair drainage issues in Germantown’s English Meadows neighborhood will have to wait at least another year.

The Board of Mayor and Aldermen on Monday approved moving funds away from that project to inance a change order on the nearly $20 million completed Wolf River Boulevard project.

The change order will cost Germantown $13,635, but after a series of other unanticipated capital expenses this fiscal year, the city has drained its “contingency” budget for capital improvements and needed to move a major project of this year’s plan.

City Administrator Patrick Lawton said the city put the English Meadows project on this year’s adopted capital improvement plan — referred to as the

After an architect declared Collierville High School unit for an expansion, the school board on Tuesday approved two architectural irms to move forward with site selection for a new high school.

The price tag on such a campus would be roughly $80 million to $90 million, including the purchase of land, Supt. John Aitken said.

The board held a work session and then a special called meeting Tuesday night to enact recommendations presented in the work session. The board also authorized Aitken to begin the rezoning process at the middle school level and approved an $11 million plan for deferred maintenance issues at the district’s eight schools.

“The time is right” to start the process of building a new high school, Aitken said.

Board delays drainage fixes in English Meadows neighborhood

CIP — with full intention that the irst major phase of it would be completed this year.

“When we set the CIP, we set it at a realistic pace from a funding standpoint and from a manpower standpoint,” Lawton said.

That includes setting aside $250,000 for miscellaneous expenses related to those improvements.

In November, the city settled a lawsuit for $120,000 that involved a piece of vacant land that became part of Wolf River Boulevard. The city was responsible for $24,000 of that and the state is paying 80 percent of any costs associated with the Wolf River project. The most recent change order totals $68,175 for the city’s portion and the state’s, and will go toward updating the lighting ixtures to a new code. Lawton said after they were installed, the code changed to require additional electrical grounding for each ixture.

Economic and Community Development Director Cameron Ross said the city also dipped into that fund when bids came back higher than expected for the Greenway extension project.

Lawton said officials chose the English Meadows project to bump because they thought it would have the “least impact.” He said oicials will take a look at drainage issues citywide and decide when to start the English Meadows project.

English Meadows Homeowners Association President John Johnson conirmed no one has brought major flooding issues to the association’s attention. The project, which has been worked on in parts since the late 1990s, involves two interior neighborhood drainage systems, increasing pipe sizes and adding manholes and inlets, according to the city’s CIP from this iscal year.

Kindergartners were elated to meet “Zero the Hero,” a math superhero who loves the number zero.

Zero the Hero enjoyed the time spent at Bailey Station and was proud the students had learned so much.

After the departure of Zero, each student was given a 100-day sticker, pencil, bookmark and a candy “0.”

Students ended the celebration with a 100-piece snack.

ST. BENEDICT AT AUBURNDALE

Students walk in 26th annual March for Life Special to The Weekly

For the 26th year, 80 St. Benedict at Auburndale students and chaperones traveled to Washington, D.C. to participate in the annual March for Life.

The date marked the 42nd anniversary of the Supreme Court decision Roe v. Wade that legalized abortion in the United States.

The students and chaperones traveled approximately 17 hours by bus, arriving in Washington in subfreezing weather and snow. Upon arrival, the group checked in at Catholic University of America to set up their sleeping bags for the night’s lodging with 1,300 other students from around the country in the gymnasium in CUA’s Athletic Center.

The students then trekked to the nearby Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception to attend the annual Pro-life Vigil Mass concelebrated by many of the nation’s cardinals, archbishops, bishops and priests. Two Memphis Diocese priests, the Rev. Patrick Gallagher and the Rev. Patrick Hirtz, concelebrated at the vigil mass and the next morning at the mass associated with the Archdiocese of Washington’s Youth Rally at the Verizon Center. The archdiocese holds this rally and mass for young pro-lifers from around the country, and each year the youth get stronger in their commitment to stopping abortion.

The Memphis-area group then made their way to the mall for the March for Life pre-march rally and then, with hundreds of thousands of others, they marched down Constitution Avenue to

the Supreme Court Building where pro-lifers, postabortion mourners and pro-abortion sympathizers were making statements and demonstrating. The pro-life contingent far outnumbered the proabortion demonstrators.

They paused to take in the view of our nation’s judicial center and to grasp the magnitude of the Roe v. Wade decision brought abortion culture to the forefront in America. Since 1973, more than 58 million unborn babies have reportedly been aborted in the United States.

Trip sponsor Sharon Masterson was, once again, gratified by the students’ continued perseverance and thanked them for their sacriice in making the long trip and for their witness as the “pro-life generation” on behalf of the right to life for all.

She reminded the students, “Abortion destroys the image of God, as we are all created in His image from the moment of conception. You have grown up in a culture of death that was instituted to solve problems. You are missing classmates due to abortion. It’s important, therefore, that we continue our tradition of traveling to Washington to witness for life and stand for those who can’t stand up for themselves. You are the ‘Pro-Life Generation’ and your commitment will help end the culture of death brought on by this decision.”

SBA senior Jake McClure, a leader of St. Benedict Students for Life, said, “I’ve gone to the March for Life for four years and I know we’re making a difference. Each year, more and more students are here. It’s our future.”

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.

Erectile dysfunction is a fact of life.

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.

Prep Sports BOWLING

SBA girls capture another championship Eagles claim 7th bowling state title

By John Varlas varlas@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2350

From the irst ball of the day — a perfect strike thrown by McKenzie Nelson — St. Benedict bowling coach Eric Wells could tell it was going to be a good day for his team.

And like his bowlers, he was right on target.

St. Benedict won its second girls title in a row and the seventh in school history last Saturday, defeating St. Agnes 21-6 in the inal of the Division 2 tournament in Smyrna.

“The team just has

an esprit de corps,” said Wells. “They all slept well the night before, ate breakfast together. They were all just relaxed and smiling and cheering one another on.

“You see this with our boys team, too; they just like competing as a team rather than individuals.”

The victory caps an undefeated season for the Eagles. It was their 13th straight appearance in the championship match and was the second straight St. Benedict-St. Agnes inal.

“At the start of the season, I don’t think many people would have

The St. Benedict at Auburndale varsity girls bowling team defeated St. Agnes 21-6 last Saturday in Smyrna, to repeat as the TSSAA Division 2 state champions.

thought we’d end up where we did,” Wells said.

“But we practiced a lot

and progressed well. We really jelled as a team.”

Although Nelson got

the Eagles of to a great start, Wells said it was a total team efort.

Kerri King had games of 198 and 191, while sophomore Julianne Cordera shook of initial nerves to produce three solid games. And senior Nicole Harty, who inished fourth in the individual competition, capped of her prep career with games of 191, 178 and 173 en route to being named state bowler of the year.

“They bowled well,” said Wells. “The girls are really deserving.”

Jessica Moore was the standout for St. Agnes, gaining three of her team’s six points.

In Division 2 boys, St.

Benedict and Christian Brothers lost in the semiinals. Bartlett’s boys lost in the Division 1 semiinals.

In individual competition, Megan Wilson and Caroline Conrad of St. Agnes and Nicole Harty of St. Benedict inished 2-3-4 in Division 2 girls; Conner Nichols of St. Benedict was second in Division 2 boys, followed

by Kyle Frasure of CBHS (third) and St. Benedict’s Andrew Reese (ifth) and Nick Agnew (sixth).

In Division 1, Terry Salvant of Middle College came in second and Alyssia Easley of Ridgeway came in sixth in the girls competition.

Curt Bennett signs to play at Maryville

By Sarah Acuf Special to The Weekly

St. George’s Independent School senior Curt Bennett celebrated his intent to play baseball for Maryville College with by family, friends and school administrators.

“Coach (Buzz) Walthall has really helped me develop over the past four years as an average player to a college recruit. I have been pushed on the ield, in the weight room and in the classroom,” said Bennett.

“My course load over the last four years has been challenging, but I know it will help me down the road. My success in the classroom has made it possible for me to play baseball at an academically strong school such as Maryville, and I want to thank St. George’s for help-

ing me attain that success.”

Bennett was interested in Maryville College because of the strong academic program and highly personal experience but it was the coaching staf and baseball team that really caught his attention.

“I like the direction Coach (Cody) Church is headed with the team. He holds his players accountable on the ield, but puts a great deal of importance on academics. I am really looking forward to this next chapter,” said Bennett. “But before that, I am looking forward to the St. George’s baseball team winning a state championship. Our team has never made is past sub-state and that needs to change this year.”

Sarah Acuf is the assistant director of communications with St. George’s Independent School.

One down, one to go for Arlington’s wrestling team.

“At the start of the year, I asked the kids to write down their goals for the season,” first-year Arlington coach Jonathan Simpson said. “They all put down winning the regional championship — both of them.”

The Tigers got the irst half of the perfecta last Friday night, knocking of Houston 43-27 to claim their irst trip to TSSAA State Duals since 2008.

The state meet will be held Friday and Saturday in Franklin, and then Arlington can go to work on a regional individual meet championship at home the following weekend.

“I told ‘em that it was my job to help get them there.

But they all bought in and did the work necessary.”

Said Simpson, a longtime Germantown assistant coach who returned to the area after a year in San Antonio, where he oiciated matches.

The Tigers, who roared

The Arlington Tigers varsity wrestling team celebrates after winning the Region 8 Duals Championship last Friday at Bolton High School. The Tigers defeated Houston to win the title. Both teams advanced to this weekend’s state tournament.

through regional competition undefeated this year, indeed dominated the championship match, giving up just one win on the mat to Houston’s best state medal hopeful, Travis Arthur (120).

When Arlington won, it usually won big. Heavyweight Jonathan Metcalf and 106-pound freshman Caleb Morgan opened the match with pins. Arlington conceded the 113-pound matchup, then reeled of seven straight matches to open a 43-9 margin before conceding the inal three

bouts.

Bailey Hulley (145) and senior Nathan Enzor (160), who like Morgan has appeared in the state Division 1 rankings from time to time this season, also scored pins. Andrew Zarshenas (132), another senior, won on a technical fall while John Craft (138) and Aaron Moore (170) scored major decisions, Moore’s points pushing Arlington over the top.

Houston coach Walt Holmes, whose team has been rebuilding for a couple of years, said, “Our

best kids were in weight classes where Arlington was just better. We also were without a couple of key kids because of injuries, but we had some guys step up and perform well.”

Houston clinched its irst trip to the state duals since 2011, bouncing back to defeat Cordova 40-32 in the second-place match. Earlier, Cordova had eliminated last year’s runner-up, Bartlett with a 37-24 decision.

Arthur, Cameron Ewen (106), and Kennedy Sanders (170) scored pins and Matthew Dale (145) scored a major decision for the Mustangs in the secondplace match. The Wolves got pins from James Costner (152) and Matthew Mullins (160) while Ismaeel Bayakly (182) scored a technical fall.

That also breaks a sevenyear run where either Cordova or Collierville had represented Region 8 in the state dual competition.

In D2, Christian Brothers, St. Benedict and Briarcrest will be the three west entries. The regional dual meet was called of early last week.

CRAIG COLLIER/SPECIAL TO THE COMMERCIAL APPEAL

Competing for beauty pageant titles has become a family tradition for the Williamson family of Cordova. Christal Williamson (left) recently won Miss Collierville Outstanding Teen and her sister, Christine, is the current Miss Smokey Mountains winner. Their mother, Carol, will compete for Mrs. Tennessee in February.

PAGEANTS

All in the family Cordova mother, daughters compete in beauty pageants

By Craig Collier Special to The Weekly

For many families, the tradition of competition runs deep.

Ordinarily, children pick up on traditions passed on to them by their parents. This can be true no matter if it is sports, math skills or a penchant for chess. In one Memphis area family’s case the tradition also extends to pageant competitions. In this particular example it isn’t the parent teaching the children. For the Williamson family of Cordova, it’s the exact opposite.

Carol Williamson is the mother of 21-year-old Christine and 16-year-old Christal. Next weekend Carol Williamson will be competing for the title of Mrs. Tennessee. The competition will be judged on the basis of a personal interview, beauty, physical itness and evening gown categories.

In the Williamson’s case, however, the elder Williamson will be using what she has learned from her daughters’ pageants to help achieve her goal of winning this competition and, hopefully, the national

competition.

Until recently, Christine Williamson, a senior at Ole Miss, held the title of Miss Memphis. When her reign as Miss Memphis ended she went on to win the Miss Smokey Mountains crown.

Meanwhile, in January, Christal Williamson won the title of Miss Collierville Outstanding Teen.

“After Christine’s success I got interested in pursuing the competition,” Carol Williamson said. “I have learned a lot about the preparation for a competition just by being involved with the girls. At irst I was quite nervous about it, but the combination of being there for them as well as my own life experiences has given me the conidence to see this through to the end.”

The Mrs. Tennessee pageant will be held in conjunction with the Mrs. Mississippi pageant in Corinth, Miss. If Williamson passes that hurdle, she will move on to the national competition in August.

Meanwhile Christine and Christal will compete for the Miss Tennessee and Miss Tennessee Outstanding Teen, respectively, in June.

Local photojournalist’s work exhibited at Briarcrest

By Beth Rooks Special to The Weekly

Briarcrest’s artist in residency program continues as the school welcomes photojournalist Karen Pulfer Focht to the Sparks Chapel Gallery.

Her exhibit runs until March 20.

Originally from Chicago Focht quickly became a nationally recognized photojournalist. She spent 26 years as a staf photographer at The Commercial Appeal and now works as a freelance photojournalist and contract photographer. Her work has

won many awards due to her amazing ability to tell a story with a single photograph. Her images have the power to evoke profound emotion with simplistic clarity. Possibly her most recognized photo worldwide is a mother girafe with her baby.

Guests can stop by the gallery anytime during the next two months to see the world as you’ve never seen it before. For more information about Focht, visit.karenpulferfocht.com.

Former Commercial Appeal photographer Karen Pulfer Focht will have her work on display at Briarcrest until March 20.

Beth Rooks is the director of communications with Briarcrest.

Running as the “Fresh Prince of Thes-con” Briarcrest junior Sabastian Burks earned a place on the 2015-2016 Tennessee Thespian Executive Board. This board of six newly elected thespians plan and execute next year’s Tennessee Thespian Conference.

Thes-Con is short for the Tennessee Thespian Conference held every year for Tennessee high school theater students who are members of The International Thespian Honor Society. Students are inducted into their high school’s chapter of the honor society after they have been involved in two or more productions either in their school or community.

At the conference, students can audition for Tennessee Governor’s School for theater, college theater programs from around the country, college scholarships and conference scholarships.

The students attend workshops on everything theater related. Additionally, there are advisory board members who perform in the opening assembly at conference and an executive board who meets several times starting in the summer to plan the next conference. The executive board determines the theme, creates and performs skits and games for assemblies and works to set up for conference. The executive board is elected by the conference attendees. Burks had to come up with a theme and put on an entire campaign over the weekend.

All of the students who went to Thes-Con from Briarcrest helped in his campaign wearing “Fresh Prince” style clothing and campaign T-shirts. They created posters, flyers and pins to hand out to students during the conference and most of them performed in Burks’ skit/ dance just after he gave his campaign speech.

Beth Rooks is the director of communications for Briarcrest.

‘Big Fish’ to make a splash at Poplar Pike Playhouse Special to The Weekly

Germantown High School’s Poplar Pike Playhouse presents the regional premiere of “Big Fish.”

Based on Tim Burton’s 2003 motion picture, this musical adaptation is barely a year removed from the Broadway stage.

The story follows Edward Bloom, a farmer’s son from Alabama who lived a life full of epic adventures, tall tales and imaginative friends. As Edward’s story draws to a close, his son begins a journey to discover his father’s true identity. “‘Big Fish’ appealed to me for many reasons,” said director Ashleigh Siegfried Williams. “Where

else can you ind a musical where you travel to the swamp, a circus, a river, the war and looded towns? But that is not the true magic of the musical. ‘Big Fish’ takes us on a journey that we all will face at one time in our life: what story will we leave when we are gone? I feel I have the perfect story and the perfect cast to bring this musical to life.”

The cast of Big Fish includes Maclean Mayers, Evan Hoover, Sydney Armstrong, Dailey T hompson, R a neem Imam, Hayley Bardos, Daniel Jaramillo, Elijah Bienz, Caleb Suggs, Ben Taylor, Brigitte Anderson, Alia Burrows, Arafat Quran, Chad Baker, Bryan

Scott, Elana Leav, Jacob Kight, Sara Mayers, Jackie Kamin, Kaylynn Coulter, Amber Allen, Summer Eggert, Kennedy Harris, Kassie Kimble, Gabriel Portillo, India Scott, Lundell Simmons, Antonio Smith, Vontrell Thomas, Alan Toney, Alex Turner and Austin Carrico.

Poplar Pike Playhouse will be the irst theater in the region to bring ‘Big Fish’ to the small stage.

The play will be Feb. 26-March 14. Visit ppp.org or call the PPP Box Oice at 901-755-7775 for more information.

The Poplar Pike Playhouse is the theater complex located on the campus of Germantown High School.

Students at Poplar Pike Playhouse rehearse a scene from the play “Big Fish,” which opens Feb. 26.

Defibrillators, safety jackets granted to local law enforcement

By Jennifer Pignolet pignolet@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2372

The Shelby County Sherif’s oice and Collierville Police Department announced Tuesday they each received grants from the Firehouse Subs Foundation for new equipment.

The sherif’s oice received six new portable automated external defibrillators, valued at $20,000. Collierville police received 67 new neon yellow safety jackets to wear at emergency scenes for visibility.

Sherif Lt. Michael Jofre said the deibrillators have already been in service about a month and one was already used to save a life.

He said the department had volunteers on patrol in an emergency response truck when an ambulance was dispatched to a medical call.

The truck arrived on scene irst, and they found a person who was not breathing and did not have a pulse. They used the new deibrillator to deliver shocks to the patient’s heart.

“Because of their early response, the ambulance was able to transport the person alive,” Jofre said.

The sherif’s oice and Collierville Police formally accepted the grants during a news conference at the Collierville Firehouse Subs restaurant location Tuesday morning.

FOREVER YOUNG The Collierville Chamber of Commerce recently hosted a ribbon cutting and open house celebration for the new location of Forever Young Senior Veterans Organization.

Making a diference in someone’s life does not have to cost a cent. I was reminded of this on Jan. 20 when The LPBC teamed with the Memphis Grizzlies to host our annual MLK National Day of Service — Samaritan’s Feet Shoe Distribution. The event brought a hundred volunteers together with Memphis Grizzlies’ players Mike Conley, Jr. and Tony Allen, along with former NBA player, Jason Collins, to wash the feet of 250 local youth, providing them with new

shoes, socks and a lot of love.

Our partnership with Samaritan’s Feet began in 2010 when we had the organization’s founder, Manny Jeremy C. Ohonme, speak Park at our Signature Breakfast. Growing up in Nigeria, Manny’s life was changed when a U.S. missionary gave him his irst pair of shoes. Like Manny, many children around the world and here in the United States, do not have protection on their feet because

items like shoes come second to food and shelter.

Samaritan’s Feet (samaritansfeet.org) was formed in 2003 with the goal of giving 10 million children new shoes; and they are well on their way with over 6 million blessed to this day. These events transcend new shoes and socks, though. They focus on the kindness of adults serving our youth by washing their feet, bonding through stories and laughter, and the symbolism that something small can lead to BIG things.

As I was walking around thanking volunteers, it was remarkable to learn that some had

no ailiation with The LPBC or Memphis Grizzlies. They saw the event online and showed up.

Mike Bowen, President of Champion Awards and Apparel, who was a part of the conversation mentioned, “90 percent of success is just showing up!” Mike is right; by their showing up all of us were enriched and gained new friends. It was the perfect reminder that to make a diference, especially in the life of a child, we simply need to show up! We need to make time to volunteer at a school to help children read, coach sports after school, or serve as a tutor or mentor.

Compline, the Service of Night Prayer, will be sung by the Men of Coventry Choir of St. George’s Episcopal Church and assisted by the women of the choir on Feb. 8 at 8 p.m. The Compline service is from the Sarum Oice of Compline and the music will be Psalm 34 by Peter Hallock, “Let the Words of my Mouth” by Henry Purcell and “Save Us, O Lord” by Edward Bairstow, which will be sung by both men and women of the Coventry Choir.

Dr. Sanjar Umarov (third from left), chairman of the Sunshine Uzbekistan spoke to the members of the Rotary Club of Germantown. Umarov was a prominent Uzbek politician and businessman.

He established the irst business school in Uzbekistan and with the backing of U.S. investors, he founded a telecommunications company. In 2005, he founded Sunshine Uzbekistan coalition, an association of civil groups and intellectuals, which sought to open a dialogue with the Government of Uzbekistan concerning economic reforms. Unfortunately, pro-communist president Islam Karimov arrested Umarov on charges of embezzlement. His trial began in 2006 and he was convicted of heading a criminal group laundering money. He was sentenced to 14 years in prison. As a result of diplomatic pressure from the United states, he was released in 2009. Joining Umarov at the meeting is (from left) president Bill White, Sardor Umarov and Vijay Surpuriya.

Robinwood Retirement Community Offers All-Inclusive Living for Seniors You or your parents may have lived in the family home for years, so the conversation around moving to an Independent Living community is easy to put off. Although you/ they may not be eager to broach the subject of moving to a new place, it’s important to talk about this exciting time while everyone is healthy and can be active participants.

When families wait until a crisis occurs, you might have to make decisions quickly, which can result in wrong choices based on apartment availability or without time to research properly. With the right option, change can be invigorating, especially when the move is to an all-inclusive community, one with a set monthly price, without large buy-ins or longterm contracts.“ “Robinwood Retirement Community, near the Whitten exit off I-40, offers an exciting lifestyle and the freedom to appreciate what’s most important - friends and family. You’ve saved your whole life, and our residents are happy to retire without signing their life or life savings away,� said Manager Joshua Brown. “If you’re looking to downsize, or if the maintenance and upkeep of your house has gotten to be too much for you or your loved one[s], an independent living apartment at Robinwood Retirement Community ills a deinite need,� he said. “Studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments are spacious, beautifully-designed living spaces that include fully-equipped kitchens, luxurious private baths, washer-dryer connections, and more. Our patio homes have additional amenities including raised ceilings, a dining room area, washer/dryer included, and a two-car garage.�

Robinwood is a short drive from Shelby Farms Park, in a quiet and safe area that was once known as Robinwood Farms. Robinwood’s on-site managers and professional staff give peace and comfort to residents and their families 24 hours a day. At the push of a button, someone is available around the clock, in the event of an emergency. “It’s a hard move to make,� said resident Betty Anderson. “A real decision to be thought out, but after my husband and I moved here he said it was absolutely the best decision we’d made and I agree. We’re so glad to be

here at Robinwood. The staff truly cares, you feel love here, and they are here for you 24 hours a day.� “One additional beneit of downsizing at Robinwood,� Brown continued, “is the simplicity it offers our residents without asking them to sacriice anything. One monthly payment to Robinwood, instead of paying bills to restaurants and grocery stores, to utility companies for water, electricity, cable and phone companies, to housekeepers, to home maintenance companies to landscapers, and to the government for property taxes and the like. “Robinwood’s Freedom Dining means meals are included in the price of the monthly rent, so residents don’t pay an additional charge each time they eat. In addition, ‘Freedom Dining’ at Robinwood means that each of our three chef-prepared meals is served daily within a casual time window that enables residents to eat on their own schedules. “You choose when you sit down to eat,� Brown said. “Residents also have access to our Chef’s Pantry, where residents can enjoy a delicious sandwich, snacks, drinks, fruit and more, 24 hours a day – all at no additional charge. Room service and meals to-go are also available for no extra fee.� “We were so impressed with how friendly, professional, and polite the staff was when we toured Robinwood.� Residents Pervis and Mary Nell Ballew commented. “Imagine our delight when we realized that it wasn’t an act, continuing to get the red carpet treatment after moving in.�

Interested people can experience Robinwood’s family-friendly lifestyle by scheduling a tour. Tours are offered seven days a week.

Brown said, “When you make a decision to give us a try, your rent is month-to-month with a full 30-day money-back guarantee.

Pets

Shelter now part of Rescue Waggin’ Special to The Weekly

PetSmart Charities has selected the Collierville Animal Services as the newest shelter in its Rescue Waggin’ program.

Rescue Waggin’ networks animal shelters together to transport homeless dogs and puppies from communities with high pet populations and very few potential adopters to animal shelters where there are exceptional adoption programs and more adoption space for dogs and puppies.

“We’re very excited to

be a part of this program,” said Nina Wingield, director for Collierville Animal Services. “For us, it’s another program we can use to save more dogs’ lives in our community.”

Several staf members from Collierville Animal Services recently traveled to Dallas, Texas, for training in canine behavior assessments. The staf must know how to evaluate dogs and puppies, physically and behaviorally, prior to them being accepted for transport in the Rescue Waggin’ program. The Rescue Waggin’ vehicle will then pick up dogs and puppies from

Collierville Animal Services every few weeks to transport to other animal shelters in the program.

In addition, Collierville Animal Services will be eligible for ongoing professional operational consultations and training programs throughout the year as well as capacitybuilding grants for spay/ neuter expansion and shelter improvements.

Currently, 79 animal shelters participate in the Rescue Waggin’ program.

Chamber of Commerce

Our December Chamber Board Meeting was celebrated at Art & Speed Classic Car Gallery…

A look back… 2014 Year in Review… Chairman of the Board, Matt VanCleve

My goals at the beginning of the year were to be manageable and attainable and to build upon the foundation laid by my predecessors Terry Cochran, Dave Nelson and Matt White. 2014 was a deining year for the Chamber and the Collierville Community with the opening of our irst ever Collierville Schools. Leadership requires knowledge, talent, skill, vitality and the ability to make a diference. In the Chamber environment, that translates into a solid track record of contributing to the success of programs, fundraising, strategic planning and visioning, events or projects. Our Chamber board, Town administration and elected oicials, ambassadors, committee volunteers, Chamber members and our dedicated staf demonstrated their commitment beyond compare this past year and below are some of our accomplishments:

Our Economic Development Committee led by Terry Cochran and Mike Sayres:

• he EDGE grant was approved in November for our third video in 2015 focusing on our schools.

• he Economic Development Roundtable initiative was very successful with positive response from our Collierville CEOs and economic development professionals.

• We collaborated with Tennessee College of Applied Technology (TCAT) and organized a preliminary meeting with business leaders, elected oicials and Chamber board. As a conduit, progress is being made in communication with Town oicials, State elected oicials, TN ECD oicials, business leaders and the Chamber. 2015 should prove to be a deining year for TCAT.

Our Government Relations Committee led by Michael Meindl and Dave Nelson:

• Collaborated and participated in meetings on government relations and economic development with the Chambers Alliance, Shelby County Government, EDGE, TVA, MLG&W, TN ECD and the Memphis Chamber.

• Keynote speakers for the Chamber membership meetings included Town ED Director, John Duncan; Superintendent of Collierville Schools, John Aitken; and, Town Administrator James Lewellen.

• Promoted voter registration • Educated our voters through various media • Partnered with the League of Women Voters to organize candidates’ interviews so they would be conducted fair and equitably • Partnered with Collierville High School to tape the interviews • Posted the interviews on social media, our web site and DVDs • President and board members volunteer on various town board and commissions, Leadership Collierville, Collierville Education Foundation, Main Street Collierville and Collierville Community Fund.

• Celebrated with the Town as history was made in Collierville for our citizens –our Collierville Schools opened in August.

• he Chamber continued to support the Town and Collierville Schools by providing quarterly Collierville Schools’ Updates and disbursing Town press releases through e- blasts, social media and web site.

• Hosted open house in December that included invitations to State elected oicials, the Mayor and Board of Aldermen and Collierville School Administration; Christmas parade dignitaries and community.

2015 promises to be a year of growth for the Chamber. We are honored and privileged to work with John Barrios as Chairman of the Board. Working as a team—John Barrios, the entire board of directors and staf, the Mayor and Board of Aldermen, our Town administration, and chamber volunteers and members—we will provide leadership and a shared vision that will contribute toward the realization of our goals and objectives.
