hen it comes to dramatic plays with polarizing characters and themes, it’s hard to match Jerome Lawrence and Robert Edwin Lee’s play, “Inherit the Wind.” But, the youth cast at Germantown Community Theatre mastered the high intensity drama of this play based on the real Scopes Trial held in Dayton, TN in 1925 that elevated the debate about the teaching of evolution in the public schools. The play is directed by Ryan Kathman and sports a large cast including Ben Chapell, Zephyr Barlow, Jonathan Gibson, Maggie

The 32nd annual National Night Out is tonight in Memphis, Collierville and Bartlett. Local communities in the Mid-South are expected to team up with their police departments to work together on this day to ight crime. The goal of “NNO” is for all residents to get together in their neighborhoods and communicate with each other to form strong community bonds. The activities help to build safer neighborhoods where everyone looks out for one another and takes a stand against crime to decrease criminal behavior. NNO is designed to heighten crime and violence prevention awareness, generate support for and participate in local anti-crime programs, strengthen neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships and send a message to criminals letting them know that neighborhoods are organized and ighting back. Neighborhoods may participate by having block parties, cookouts, community walks, ice cream socials and more. During these events, participants will “turn on their porch lights and stand together in turning of the lights on crime.” In addition, neighborhoods that register their event with the police will be visited by oicers and town leaders to meet and discuss issues within the community. On Oct. 6, Bartlett will host another event, Bartlett Night Out, and the police department is asking for neighborhoods to organize events such as block parties, carnivals, lashlight walks and youth programs.

Man killed, woman critically injured in shooting By Kelly Fisher Kelly.Fisher@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2355
Germantown police are investigating a domestic violence incident where a man was killed and a woman was injured Friday morning. The incident occurred around 8:15 a.m. at a home in the 7900 block of Elm Leaf Drive near Poplar Pike and Hacks Cross. When police arrived at the home, oicers found two adults injured. The woman, 38, was found in the garage. The man, 36, was found in the driveway and
pronounced dead on the scene. The woman was taken to the Regional Medical Center in critical condition. Neither victim’s name has been released by law enforcement pending the notiication of family members. According to a Germantown Police Department news release, both victims appeared to have sufered head wounds, and a semi-automatic pistol was found under the man’s leg. Police said they are not actively looking for additional individuals involved in the incident, and according to the release, oicers searched the residence for signs
of any possible suspects, but the home was clear. Terry Ryan, who lives a few streets over on Cotton Cross Drive, drove up to check on the house around 12:45 p.m. Ryan worked with the woman for two years at Curtis Stout, an electrical supply company near Memphis International Airport. The woman had talked about her “bad relationship” with her live-in boyfriend at work, but “she never mentioned any kind of abuse other than maybe yelling at each other,” Ryan said. He said that although the woman had not shown up for
work Friday, she was not expected to do so because she was moving out — the house had a ‘Sold’ sign in the front yard — because “they were splitting up.” Ryan decided to check on his co-worker after he heard of the incident on the news. Ryan recognized the house because he had picked her up on the way to work before. The woman has a daughter from a previous marriage, Ryan said. “A female juvenile who was at the home was safe and in the care of the caller when oicers arrived,” Germantown police said in a release, though they
did not specify whether the juvenile was the victim’s daughter, or identify the caller. Paula Smith, who lives one street over but parallel to the crime scene, drove up to the caution tape in her golf cart with her 5-year-old grandson, Parker, realizing what she and her husband had heard early this Friday morning. Smith said she and her husband heard two big “pows” around 8 or 8:15 a.m. The last homicide in the suburb was in April 2013 when Christopher Jones was charged with killing his wife, a kindergarten teacher.

A fitting tribute
A luxury-car salesman was sentenced to 80 months in federal prison for defrauding several people, including former NBA player Julius “Dr. J” Erving, according to U.S. Attorney Ed Stanton’s oice. According to the indictment, from October 2010 to September 2013, Michael Gerard Brown offered upscale vehicles for sale through his business, Valkry Corporation and Exotic Cars South with oices in Collierville and the Atlanta area. The indictment stated that once Brown received payments from customers, he would partially satisfy purchase orders for the vehicles or fail to deliver the vehicles. As a result, Brown, 57, fraudulently obtained more than $2 million that he used for his personal beneit, as well as travel and business expenses, according to the indictment. Brown also used the funds to purchase more vehicles. Brown’s victims included Erving, according to the indictment. In February, Erving wired Brown $251,934 to purchase a 2015 Rolls-Royce Wraith. Brown never delivered the car nor provided Erving a refund. There were three other victims, including two luxury-car dealerships in England and Macau, China. Yolanda Jones

The Shelby County Commission, in an 11-0 vote last week, approved a resolution that renames the county courthouse the D’Army Bailey Courthouse Building, in honor of the late Circuit Court judge and founder of the National Civil Rights Museum. The resolution was sponsored by Commissioner Terry Roland, who said he wanted to recognize both Judge Bailey and D’Army Bailey his family. “I hurt for the Bailey family,” Roland said. “If this can bring a little solace to y’all, it means a lot to me and I know it means a lot to y’all.” Two signs, both 8 feet by 3 feet, will be placed at the southwest and the southeast entrances of the courthouse at 140 Adams. A ceremony will be held to unveil the new signs, but the details have not been inalized, Roland said. The resolution was co-sponsored by commissioners Eddie Jones, Justin Ford, Van
Courthouse to be renamed in honor of late Judge D’Army Bailey Turner (who was absent), Reginald Milton, Willie Brooks, Melvin Burgess, Mark Billingsley and Steve Basar. Also voting in favor was Commissioner Heidi Shafer. Commissioner David Reaves abstained. “He was a great man; he stood up for right,” Burgess said. “I think it’s the right thing to do; in fact I know it’s the right thing to do,” said Brooks. Judge Bailey, the brother of County Commissioner Walter Bailey, died on July 12 after a battle with cancer. He was 73. Attending the commission meeting were Judge Bailey’s widow, Adrienne Bailey, and sons Justin Bailey and Merritt Bailey. The family received a standing ovation from those in the commission chambers. “As everyone here knows, he served the community with everything he had for a long time,” Justin Bailey said. “He gave a lot; he gave everything he had.

honor him this way is beitting, also humbling. We just can’t thank you enough for this consideration.” “My husband, what a champion,” said Adrienne Bailey, who was presented with a bouquet of pink roses. “I know he’s so happy, so happy with all the love and outpouring of appreciation. He knows what’s happening now because D’Army knows everything. I appreciate this. This is a great honor.” Judge Bailey served as a Circuit Court judge from 1990 to 2006, when he retired. He was elected to the bench again in 2014. It was Judge Bailey who took the lead in the work to transform the Lorraine Motel, where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated in 1968, into the National Civil Rights Museum. With funds amassed from a contingent of donors and supporters, he bought the motel on the courthouse steps in 1982 for $144,000, and after years of work and fundraising, the $9.2 million museum opened in 1991. Last year, the museum completed a $28 million renovation and expansion with events that also praised Bailey’s contribution.
Sen. Kelsey: Let TBI probe police Joins Rep. Hardaway’s bid for openness By Kyle Veazey veazey@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2799
State Sen. Brian Kelsey said Saturday he would join state Rep. G.A. Hardaway’s legislative efort to require the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation to conduct investigations when someone is critically injured or killed in an incident involving a law enforcement oicer. In an e-mail to constituents, Kelsey, R-Germantown, said the bill would “allow” disclosure of the results of the TBI investigations. Those iles are sealed, which has led to criticism on transparency grounds.
Hardaway, DMemphis, said Satu r d a y t h e r e must be transparSen. Brian ency and Kelsey the public should be able to view the results of the investigations to ensure justice. “It’s pretty simple,” Hardaway said. “When you talk about democracy, the key is oversight by the people.” Hardaway said TBI is an “objective organization, that is apolitical.” “They would deliver the truth, the whole truth and nothing but
the truth,” he said. TBI Director Mark Gwyn told The Commercial Appeal last month he would support “a mechanism (in the legislation) that those iles can be opened.” The bill won’t be debated until at least January, when the General Assembly convenes again. “The recent shooting death of Darrius Stewart by a Memphis police oicer has brought the national debate about the reliability of investigating oicer-involved deaths close to home,” Kelsey wrote. Commercial appeal reporter Katie Fretland contributed to this report.

TCAP data: Reading still an SCS struggle But students make gains in math, science
math, ahead of the state’s 4.3-point growth, and 4.7 points in science, ahead of the state’s 0.9-point growth. Overall, however, elementary reading levels in the ASD are down 4.3 percentage points from 2012. Only 13.8 percent of elementary school students in the ASD are reading on grade level. ASD Superintendant Chris Barbic said the challenges of teaching reading are compounded in a lowincome school. Schools new to the ASD last year only averaged a level 1 out of 5 on growth, but Barbic said that’s due to a culture that has to be implemented in the irst year. Schools in the district for two and three years averaged a level 5. Four of the ive schools the ASD runs in Frayser received a level-5 growth rating. Notable improvements came at Whitney Achievement Elementary, which saw an increase of 31.2 proiciency percentage points in math and 20.7 points in science in a single year. But the school also lost 7.4 points in reading. Georgian Hills Achievement Elementary was the only one of the ive Frayser schools to improve in all areas, with 26.1 points in math, 9 points in reading and 1 point in science. Frayser Achievement Elementary saw doubledigit growth in math and science, but lost 1.3 points in reading. The goal of the ASD is to move schools from the bottom 5 percent to the top 25 percent in ive years. “It’s still a goal that we’re aiming for,� Barbic said. “We’re as optimistic today as we were four years ago.�

Students in Shelby County Schools still struggle with reading on grade level, but made gains in math and science, test results from the Tennessee Comprehensive Assessment Program released on July 29 show. Statewide, the percentage of students proicient in elementary and middle school reading dropped 1.1 percentage points. SCS outpaced the state in growth for both elementary math and science, but still lags behind the state in overall proiciency in all three tested areas. Just under a third of SCS students are reading on grade level or above, 40.4 percent are proicient or advanced in math and 47.1 percent are proicient or advanced in science. The Achievement School District outpaced the state in growth for elementary and middle math and science. Other subjects showed steep declines, but the district also took over 23 schools this year that were all in the bottom 5 percent in the state. Of the 17 schools in the SCS Innovation Zone, which uses additional state money for locally controlled turnaround programs, 13 showed improvement.
SHELBY COUNTY SCS students made at least minimal gains in nine of 10 test subjects across all grade levels. The district rated a level 5, the highest score, on the scale measuring one year’s growth, for the fourth year in a row. A level 3 means students ad-

vanced one year’s worth of growth in one year’s time. A high score means more growth in the same amount of time. Superintendant Dorsey Hopson said the results show the district knows how to improve — and under the threat of state takeover, is motivated to do so. “We still have a long way to go,� Hopson said. “By no means are we pounding our chest and saying we’ve igured this thing out.� Hopson said they are reviewing what went wrong at the four i-Zone schools that took steps backward, noting that some of them dealt with “cultural issues� over the last year, resulting in new leadership set to take over this year. Four schools — RaleighEgypt High, A. Maceo Walker Middle, American Way Middle and LaRose
Elementary — improved enough to stave of state takeover for at least another year. Those schools were among 21 Shelby County Schools ranked in the bottom 5 percent last year. Fifteen schools remain on the state’s priority list and could be considered for either the ASD or i-Zone programs. “We just started holding everybody accountable,� said Bo Griin, principal at Raleigh-Egypt High School, which gained 15.4 points in Algebra I, 28 points in Algebra II and 14.6 points in English III. Other notable scores include a 32.1-point gain in science at Cherokee Elementary School and a 21.6-point gain in math at White Station Elementary. At Trezevant High School, less than 6 per-
cent of students were proicient or better in Algebra II last year. That number climbed to almost a third of students this year. The three schools within Germantown’s borders that remained with Shelby County Schools showed declines. Germantown Elementary lost 15.1 proiciency percentage points in science, 8.7 points in reading and 1.2 points in math. Germantown Middle lost 7.4 points in science, 9 points in reading and 2.8 points in math. Germantown High lost the most ground in chemistry, with a decline of 15.7 percentage points,
and 7.4 points in reading, but gained ground in Algebra I. The schools lost many suburban students last year with the creation of the municipal school districts. “On irst blush, some of the more traditionally high-performing students did leave,� Hopson said. “But that’s not an excuse.�

ECS students visit United Kingdom on educational trip By Mylissa Horrocks Special to The Weekly
Ten Evangelical Christian School students, both current and alumni, joined two faculty members on a recent educational trip to the United Kingdom. “When we realized we had all young men signed up for this study tour, we thought we’d change things up a bit,” said Student Leadership initiative advisor and high school English teacher Ryan Dixon. “It made sense on this trip to travel light and stay in hostels. Our ECS team loved our ‘immersion-style’ tour, dropping the typical charter bus setup and fully experiencing the culture and life of the United Kingdom.”
ECS holds three study tours that rotate on a regular schedule. The England/U.K. trip focuses on literature and language, while 2016’s Italy Study Tour focuses on art and the Renaissance. In 2017, the cycle will complete with a study tour to Western Europe. This tour will give students the opportunity to experience war and reformation history first hand, with stops at Wittenberg and Versailles. “The trips combine theory with real-life experience and cultural perspective,” said Jenny Shorten, the director of enrichment and electives at ECS. “They give students the chance to see other countries in a meaningful way.” Students also have the opportunity to participate in Sunday worship
while on the study tours. Dixon recalls a particularly meaningful moment during the Sunday service at Westminster Abbey. “While singing hymns to our Lord within a building that has deep historic presence for the Church of England, we were reminded of the roots of our Christian heritage in America,” Dixon said. “It was an important experience for our students as they pondered the state of their personal faith in Christ and their role as believers in a changing American nation.” During their sight seeing trip across the United Kingdom, ECS students visited famous tourist destinations including Westminster Bridge.
MUNICIPAL SCHOOLS
Collierville and Germantown schools do okay in TCAP scores By Jane Roberts jane.roberts@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2512
The new municipal school districts overall outperformed state gains on TCAP and end-ofcourse exams students took this spring. The notable exception is Millington Municipal Schools. Besides trailing the state, students in grades 3-8 lost ground in each tested subject — including significant drops in reading. But the biggest blow is the 17 percentage points it lost in Algebra I proficiency, a fact that means nearly half the freshman class (47.6 percent) cannot do beginning algebra. “Our schools have had challenges comparing accountability proficiency data from the 201314 school year (when our schools were still part of the Shelby County Schools) to the 2014-15 year,” said Supt. David Roper.
With new attendance zones, transfers from other schools and the elimination of a modified test for students with mild disabilities, “we naturally expected unusual data results,” Roper said. Children in grades 3-8 there lost more than 7 percentage points in reading. Overall, nearly 60 percent of children (57.9 percent) cannot read at grade level in the suburb. The other municipal districts posted strong showings. Arlington, Bartlett and Lakeland (with one school) made gains in every subject. Bartlett City Schools racked up 15.9 and 12.7 percentage gains in Algebra I and II. Arlington followed with 15.2 point bump in Algebra I and 13.3 in Algebra II. “I am pleased with the foundation we are building in Bartlett City Schools,” said Supt. David Stephens, “and the hard work of our teachers, students and families this past school year.”
While Bartlett students made a 3.6-point gain in chemistry, 63.8 percent of its students did not pass the high school exam. Collierville has the largest percentage of students proficient in the most subjects, including seven where 80 to 90 percent of children performed at the highest levels. But the district’s reading scores fell 1.1 percent this year in grades 3-8. It also made only small gains in Algebra I and negligible progress in elementary science. While Supt. John Aitken praised teachers for their work, he noted there was room for improvement. “We will face those opportunities and find ways to ensure student learning is taking place at a high level. Germantown, which also has high levels of proficiency, lost ground in English III and elementary science. The state exams given this
spring were based on standards the state used before it began teaching the Common Core State Standards more than four years ago. Next spring, the exams will change to reflect the state’s TNReady curriculum, approved by the General Assembly last session. Instead of multiple-choice questions, the new tests will have essay questions and short-answer responses. School districts are also expected to administer the tests online next spring for the first time. All districts are expected to see declines in scores until teachers and students adjust. In districts like Millington, where more than half of students in grades 3-8 lack proficiency in math and reading, the change could have deeper repercussions. While high school students in Millington beat state gains in English II and English III, they fared worse in every other sub-
ject. School board chairman Greg Ritter said he would see the scores when the board discusses them at its next meeting. Roper intends to “aggressively target reading and language arts” in the coming year, plus work to strengthen high school math programs. “We also plan to address deficit areas with our students with disabilities as we go forward to implement the new more rigorous standards and the new state testing instrument,” he said. Last year, about 16,000 special education students with mild disabilities took the written TCAP test without modification for the first time. Roughly 65 to 70 percent of students who qualify for special education services have what are considered mildly handicapping conditions, including learning disabilities and hyperactivity disorders.

In the News SUMMER IN THE CITY
HEAT? NO SWEAT Those who spend days outdoors have ways of coping The Commercial Appeal
ith the mercury hitting 99 July 29, Mid-South residents were fully immersed in an annual rite of mid-summer: seeking an airconditioned space, a fan or an icy beverage to escape the heat.
W
And, if you think it’s been hotter than normal this month, you are right. We are on pace to have one of the hottest Julys on record, says Marlene Mickelson, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Memphis. This year might evoke sweaty memories of 2012, when we had a similar streak of days when the heat index rose above 100. Since July 7, the heat index has pierced 100 each day with one exception, July 9. And it was a heat index igure of 98 that day. The heat index topped out at 112 July 29. And, for folks who work outside, there’s no escaping the oppressive weather. Outside workers got a slight break from the heat July 30-31 when the temps only hit the low 90s. We sent three of The CA’s reporters into the sauna to write about how some folks are coping with the weather. Their stories follow:
FOOTBALL TEAM’S TOUGHEST FOE For the St. George’s Independent School football team, the gallon jug has become as important as the football. Similar to a running back learning to “protect the football” by carrying it everywhere he goes, the Gryphons are required to keep their personal water jugs close at hand during these days of extreme heat. Coach David Carter and his staf make sure players drink two gallons of water a day so they stay hydrated. By certain times of the day, players

“Water, water and more water,” is barbecue pitmaster Robert Carpenter’s secret to survival when he’s sandwiched between the blazing hot barbecue pit and the 99-degree sun while working at The Grille, a to-go restaurant on Lamar. He also keeps an industrial fan blowing and a wet towel on his head.
are required to reach certain marks on the jug. “With the exception of coming out here to practice, every meeting, every meal, they have their water jug with them and we keep up with how much they drink,” Carter said at the July 29 practice. “Because they have to inish that gallon and start the other gallon during the day.” On July 27 — when the heat index was recorded at 103 degrees by 11 a.m. — an East High School player was taken to the hospital for heat exhaustion. According
to Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association rules implemented in 2009, no outdoor activities are permitted if the heat index is above 104 degrees. St. George’s holds an early practice around 7 a.m. and the day’s second practice is at 6 p.m. That later session can be moved to 7 p.m. if the heat index is too high. Carter adjusted his practice schedule so the Gryphons could hold their twoa-days and stay within TSSAA rules. “It’s not as hot,” senior ofensive guard and nose tackle Jacob Still said of the ad-
justed practice schedule, but, “we still get the reps in and we don’t have to cancel practice early.” Along with staying hydrated, players are also being served breakfast and lunch. It’s all part of the coaching staf’s strategy for dealing with the oppressive opponent that is the Memphis heat. “You aren’t going to make them better players or tougher players by them being completely dehydrated and exhausted,” Carter said. “We’re trying to get the best performance out of our kids, and for us

to get the best performance out of our kids we have to make sure that they’re fed and hydrated.” Omer Yusuf
THIS GUY KNOWS HOT Think 97 degrees is hot? Try it standing over a smoking hot 10-foot steel cylinder. That’s how Robert Carpenter spends his days. “On Friday and Saturday, we’ll have two, maybe three of them going,” said the pitmaster at The Grille, a to-go restaurant on Lamar that specializes in chicken on a stick and chicken wings. “It gets pretty hot out here.” He starts in the cool of the day at 6 a.m., clearing yesterday’s charcoal from the pits and starting with a new batch. “By 10:30, 10:45 or so, I take in the irst batch so we’ll have enough ready when people get here at 11,” he said. Before a typical weekday is done, 600 wings will have been smoked; on Fridays and Saturdays, it’s closer to 1,000. Every time he opens that pit, the heat spikes. “It might feel like 25 (degrees hotter) to some people, but to me it feels like 50,” he said. Co-owner Anita Tate said she thinks business is down a little because of the heat. “I’ve noticed a drop, and I understand because I know what the heat does to my appetite,” she said. Carpenter keeps an industrial fan blowing and a wet towel draped over his head. But short of seeking a spot of shade or, better, going inside an airconditioned building, there’s one key to staying on top of the pit in the heat: “Water, water and more water,” he said.

thing out here. All you’ve got is the heat of the sun relecting up of the concrete. Some days, no breeze is blowing, but today a breeze is blowing, so it’s not that bad,” Douglass said. Christopher Hicks, a white towel draped over his head beneath a Memphis International Airport ball cap, said, “You’ve got to work smart,” to be productive in the heat. Hicks drinks water and Gatorade from coolers on the work truck, works at a steady pace and cools of during breaks. “We’re used to this,” Hicks said. “The beginning of the summer wasn’t bad. It took awhile, but when it hit, it came in with a vengeance.” Sweat dripped from Marvin Jones’ face as he paused from raking a lower bed on Cargo Road. His grounds crew started at 7 a.m. to beat the heat, but temperatures in the 90s weren’t the only enemy. “Right now, it’s more the humidity than the heat,” Jones said. Johnson, who manages 57 airield workers, said monthly safety training has emphasized proper ways to work in the heat and recognize warning signs of heat-related illnesses. “Since it’s been hot, that’s what we’ve been focusing on: heat stroke and taking care of your neighbor,” Johnson said.

Community COLLIERVILLE
Citizen Police Academy graduate humbled by experience By Jennifer Casey In My Own Words
I
signed up for the Citizens Police Academy during the spring after writing a press release to promote the upcoming summer session. After reading about what the class covered, it certainly piqued my interest from a professional standpoint to learn more about a town department, but I was curious as a citizen, as well. What exactly is the Collierville Police Department doing that keeps Collierville a safe community? That question was answered the irst day of class and it was not what I expected: traic stops. When assistant chief, David Tilner led the irst discussion about the department’s “Community Oriented Policing” structure, he asked for everyone to raise a hand if he/she had ever been pulled over by a Collierville police oicer. With almost every hand in the air, it was not a surprise to anyone to see a room full of people with this past, and most likely future, experience. The Collierville Police Department has a reputation of strict traic enforcement, and that reputation is a strategy that we continued to learn about throughout the following classes. Experiencing a traic stop from a patrol oicer’s perspective is a truly unique experience. Walking up the side of an unfamiliar vehicle with tinted windows gets your heart racing before even seeing what is waiting inside. While we had Collierville police oicers pretending to be unruly drivers, they enjoyed surprising the class with unexpect-

ed behavior. Shuling around through a glove box may appear to be a harmless search for an insurance card until a weapon is pointed in your direction. What seemed like unusual scenarios to the class were real situations the oicers experienced on patrol. Lt. David Townsend, the academy coordinator, shared that he worked on patrol in the past as a traic reconstructionist. We learned, and even tested, the dangers of impaired and distracted driving by driving a golf cart around a complex maze of orange cones with altered goggles to simulate the vision of a legal blood alcohol level. We also used a computer simulator set up like a video game with a steering wheel and gas pedal. The program sent text messages to our personal cell phones as we drove, and the results weren’t very good.
While we experienced fake crashes and arrests, we were shown a slideshow of car wrecks in Collierville that was, at times, hard to watch. While enforcing traic rules keeps roadways safer, it also proves to be a deterrent for criminal activity. However, there are times when crimes do happen in Collierville, one of the most common being theft from vehicles. If a crime became more serious, we learned about diferent divisions of the police department that are highly trained to assist speciic needs. We saw
irst-hand the incredible ability of police K-9, Leno, a Belgian Malinois, keenly listening to his trainer’s commands, the innerworkings of the dispatch center as a live 911 call came through and the impressive tracking ability of the STAR team who use heightened senses to ind a criminal leeing a scene or perhaps a loved one lost in the woods. The crisis intervention team specializes in assisting people who are experiencing a stressful crisis while maintaining professionalism and compassion. These oicers help citizens with mental disorders or any-
one experiencing some form of emotional trauma or shock. We were told a touching story of a CIT oicer singing “Amazing Grace” with an individual to help ease his stress level while safely traveling in the patrol car to seek medical attention. The SWAT members have a similar responsibility to respond to people in an emotionally charged situation. However, the scenario will have a greater risk to safety of the individual or others. Class members were given a “bank robbery” exercise and either played hostages being detained by actual SWAT oficers, acting as robbers or put on the SWAT gear and entered the building to save the innocent bystanders. I wore the heavy SWAT vest and uncomfortable helmet, and hesitantly entered the “bank” after having a brieing with my team. Although the scene wasn’t real, I felt very nervous clearing dark rooms and was slow to react when one of my team members was involved in a stand-of with a suspect. “You will react in the way you have been trained,” said police chief Larry Goodwin. As citizens from all walks of life, some of us had more experience than others with military backgrounds or aspirations to join a police department as a future career. There were also school faculty, salesmen, students, inancial advisors and a few town employees, like myself, who did not necessarily have much knowledge about the complexities of law enforcement. We all learned that Collierville police oicers are trained and ready to react to any scene at any moment. During the graduation ceremony, Mayor Stan Joyner and Goodwin encouraged the class to continue supporting the Collierville Police Department by joining other volunteer organizations associated with the department, but more importantly to be ambassadors to the community.

Collierville oicers, such as Andrew Webb, will beneit from the ELSA communication technology to better assist citizens in the Collierville community.
PUBLIC SAFETY
C’ville Police to use new ELSA live-translate tech Live 24/7 network to help with 180 languages, dialects Special to The Weekly
Communication between the languages is an age-old challenge. But the Collierville Police Department will soon be getting help from a new technology aimed at instantly bridging the gap. The device is called Enabling Language Service Anywhere, or ELSA. ELSA is a simple black box that is clipped to the belt of the user. With the push of a button, live translators are available over a wireless network to assist with translating 180 different languages and dia-
lects. The live translators interact with the oicer and client. This service is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. “This ability to provide real-time communication between people who speak diferent languages in virtually any situation or environment is key in assisting the police department to better serve our citizens and guests in Collierville,” assistant chief Jef Abeln said. The developer of ELSA, RTT Mobile Interpretation, originally designed the device for law enforcement but is now seeing its use in many applications, including irst responders and other health care workers, government agency employees, and
financial services employees. Their company mission is to provide affordable and highly mobile interpretation solutions to overcome language barriers and to improve communication through their technology platform. The Collierville Police Department is among several Mid- South public safety agencies that have recognized the value of such a device. “Once this becomes fully functional and running, it’s going to break down a lot of barriers in communication,” said police chief Larry Goodwin. He said that the department is currently training its oicers on the device and that residents should see it on the streets very shortly.
Collierville attorney Fred Auston Wortman III pleaded not guilty Thursday in Fayette County Court of trying to kill his wife. After a grand jury indictment, Wortman, 39, was charged with one count of attempted irstdegree murder and two counts of solicitation of irst-degree murder. He was arraigned before Judge Weber McGraw on the three-count indictment that stemmed from a Tennessee Bureau of Investigation operation that was announced July 28. Wortman’s trial date is set for Dec. 1. Wortman was arrested by several police oicers June 5 at a Fayette County
gas station following a TBI investigation. Wortman allegedly gave an undercover agent, who was posing as a hit man, instructions and a down payment to have his wife, Staci Wortman, murdered. Wortman’s charge of attempted first-degree murder and one of the charges of solicitation of irst-degree murder came from this incident, according to the indictment. On July 1, while in jail, Wortman allegedly approached another inmate, soliciting him to kill his wife. That incident led to the second solicitation of irst-degree murder charge in the indictment. Since the TBI is investigating that, Dist. Atty. Gen. Michael Dunavant said he cannot provide further details.
Wortman is being held in the Fayette County Jail on a $15 million bond, which his defense attorney, Robert Brannon, said he has no plans to challenge at this time. “The bond was originally set on two charges. He also has a case pending in Shelby County,” said Brannon, who is representing Wortman in both courts. “It just doesn’t seem feasible at this time to lower the bond when you’ve got the trial date on Dec. 1.” Wortman also faces one charge of attempted murder in Shelby County. That refers to an incident in which Wortman allegedly tried to kill his wife by poisoning her toothpaste, which one of their three children — all of whom are under age 10 — also apparently used.

Two 19-year-old suspects arrested in recent home-invasion burglary By Yolanda Jones yojones@desotoappeal.com 901-333-2014
Germantown police have arrested two 19-yearold men who allegedly forced their way into a home July 29 afternoon while a 13-year-old girl was inside. Diego Valdemar Resendez and Ivan Mejia Angeles both of Memphis were charged with aggravated burglary and theft of property.
Police said the suspects forced their way into the home in the 1800 block of River Valley Drive just before 1 p.m. Resendez and Angeles allegedly knocked on the front door of the home and then went around back and broke out a window of a door used to gain entry into the home, police said in a release. The girl’s father arrived home and confronted the suspects, who led in an older model Ford F-150
pickup, police said. The men, who stole assorted tools, were not armed and no one was injured. One suspect was arrested July 29 when police found his truck in the in the 6600 block of Mallard Nest Cove in Memphis. The other suspect was arrested later July 29. Detectives were able to link and charge Angeles to a previous burglary in the 7000 block of Westminster in October 2014.

Matt Barnes story: From heel to hero Happy to join team with ‘my grind mentality’
PHOTOS BY NIKKI BOERTMAN/THE COMMERCIAL APPEAL
New Grizzly Matt Barnes seemed happy to be in Memphis as he was introduced on July 28. He played for the rival Los Angeles Clippers last year.
is a whole — not just team, but city — with my ideal, my grind mentality.’ I’ve never been on a team where everybody has the same mindset I do.” Barnes seemed particularly thrilled to be playing alongside Tony Allen, whom he considers a kindred spirit. As he put it, “It’s going to be an honor playing next to that dude.” None of which means Barnes is the missing piece to a championship or any such thing. He’s a 35-year-old wing player who is making his 10th NBA stop. But at a time when more NBA teams are opting for lowing, beautiful basketball, the Grizzlies seem content to beat the snot out of you. Indeed, Joerger seemed to revel in

it, as he delivered a preview of the season’s theme. “Going into this season, we’re going to try to be nasty,” he said. “Nasty is a word that is going to come up a lot as we go into training camp. We’re going to be nasty. You come into the paint and things are not going to be happy for you.” Like they ever were? So here’s to another season of glorious mayhem. Here’s to the league’s toughest team getting tougher still. Or, as Barnes put it, when asked about the challenge ahead: “I’m just glad that I’ve got a whole team that thinks the way I do.” Editors note: Geof wrote a follow-up column Thursday about Brittany Hall, the fan Barnes spoke about at his press conference.

In a six-month period this past season, Barnes was ined $25,000 for kicking a water bottle and cursing a Wizards fan, ined $25,000 for cursing a Suns fan and $50,000 for cursing James Harden’s mother. Just last month, Barnes said on ESPN that he and Oklahoma City forward Serge Ibaka would “ight right now.” Question: Is there any better way to endear yourself to Memphis basketball fans than suggesting you’d like to throw down with another player? And does that kind of thing happen in any other town? Small wonder Barnes was happy when he found out he’d been shipped to Memphis. As he put it, “When I kind of took a deep breath, I thought, ‘This

So about the trash can, the one Matt Barnes demolished as he left the FedExForum loor after a playof game in 2013. “I remember it,” said Barnes. “There was a woman or a younger girl who said something about it. It wa s a close game and I was mad GEOFF that we lost and I CALKINS kicked a COLUMNIST can. I’m looking forward to inviting that young lady back to the irst game and show her I’m not the person she thought I was back then.” Awwwwww, what a nice gesture, eh? Except here’s the thing. Barnes is exactly the person he seemed to be back then. But the next time you see him, he’ll be that person in a Grizzlies uniform. And you will love him for it. Barnes — acquired by Memphis in a draft-day deal for Janis Timma — was introduced as the latest member of the Grizzlies July 28 at a Fed-ExForum press conference. Not since the heyday of Memphis wrestling has a heel turned hero with quite such dispatch. This was a man who played for the hated Los Angeles Clippers. This was a man who destroyed FedExForum property with his foot. “I realize I’m one of those guys that if I’m not with you, you hate me,” said Barnes. “But if I’m with you, you understand who I am and what I’m about and love me. I’m looking forward to winning this crowd and winning this city over and helping to bring a championship here.” Well, a championship would do it, certainly. But the press conference was a ine start. As Griz GM Chris Wallace put it, “If there’s any player who was designed to be a Grizzly, it’s Matt Barnes.” Like the Grizzlies, Barnes is all about defense and toughness. Like the Grizzlies, Barnes is a little nuts.

Alchemy’s elixirs, small plates make for Cooper-Young oasis
There’s a handful of places around town where I meet friends for a bite or a drink when I’m not working. While there are many places I’d like to visit again and again, none of us is made of time; we must spend it wisely. Alchemy in Cooper-Young is one of those places where time can be pleasantly frittered away over cocktails and small plates, where laughter and convivial conversation waft across the big, slick but comfortable room, where a community of strollers and runners can be watched through the big windows, where friendly dogs on leashes stop for a quick chin scratch from those settled on the small patio. Cooper-Young in general has recovered nicely from the temporary hit it took from the revitalization of Overton Square; the crowds are back. I’ve never eaten a bad dish at Alchemy —
some are better than others, of course — and I’ve never had a bad drink. I was there last month for the tasting of this year’s house bourbon, which turned out to be W.L. Weller barrel 49. It was the Friday the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of marriage equality, and it was a festive night in Cooper-Young; a celebration was taking place in front of the Memphis Gay and Lesbian Community Center. A specialty cocktail is created daily and that night, bartender David Parks whipped up a concoction he named Marie Antoinette Scalia. Taking it all in, I was struck by how solid Alchemy has remained through a number of changes, and how unusual it is for a restaurant that isn’t chef-driven to stay so vibrant. But Alchemy started with a chef in the kitchen. Karen Roth, who had been at various places and most immediately before Alchemy at Erling Jensen: The Restaurant, opened the restaurant with owners Bert Smythe, John Littleield and Stewart Wingate (along with former general manager Ben McLean, now at Belly Acres) in November 2011. While she created many of the dishes that remain today, mixologists were hard at work creating a fabulous cocktail roster, and many of those remain today, too. Still, things have evolved. A year later, Nick Seabergh, who had been with John Currence at City Grocery in Oxford, took over the kitchen when Roth left and stayed until May 2014 (a Nashville-bound deserter). After two strong and influential chefs in the kitchen, Smythe and company decided to forgo a chef. Instead, two exceedingly capable cooks, Catrina McKee and Celina Webb, already with Alchemy, took charge. The food is as good as ever, continues to rotate periodically (new items have recently

Crowds mingle around Alchemy’s centerpiece bar, where creative signature cocktails are muddled, stirred and shaken, and simple drinks like rum and Coke are poured.

been added), and I can’t tell that there’s a cook instead of a chef preparing my food. First to brunch. Served on Sunday only, this is well worth adding to the list of places to end a long week or jump-start a new one, depending on how you view your Sunday. Many cocktails are $5, and you’ll be given a sushi-like menu to build your own Bloody Mary. Choose your rimmer, your heat level, your mix (two house-made, one of those vegan, plus V-8, tomato juice or Clamato) and from a laundry list of garnishes. Pick your Bellini from a list of a dozen fruit purees, go for a simple mimosa — the choices go on. Everything at the bar is fresh, there are herbs to muddle, fruit to squeeze, syrups just made, so if you want something else, just ask. It was scorching hot on Sunday; I asked for a refreshing drink of grapefruit, vodka, rosemary simple syrup and lime zest, a cocktail I make at home. The bartender had never
heard of it, and didn’t have rosemary syrup, yet turned out a drink that was exactly what I wanted. Bravo. The heat didn’t impair our appetite, and we ordered too much food yet managed to make a respectable dent in it. The loaded grits, a bowl of cheesy grits topped with Benton’s bacon, peppers, onion, country ham and an optional fried egg, was superb. I was tiptop on Sunday, but if I’d been in need of rejuvenation, that dish would’ve restored me. The biscuits were as good as any I’ve had and better than many, big and light, but sturdy enough for the sausage gravy. Alchemy offers four poached egg dishes, though the corned beef hash wasn’t available when we were there and Smythe says it’s probably coming of the menu. There’s a pulled pork and barbecue sauce version, crab cake Benedict, or shrimp and bacon hash, which was an excellent choice. A slab of toasted sourdough was topped with
skillet-browned bacon lardons and shrimp, seasoned with cayenne, thyme, garlic — bold spices — and topped with salsa fresca, cotija cheese and two perfectly poached eggs. Divine. At dinner — Alchemy is not open for lunch — the menu is divided in thirds: To Begin, To Share, and Small Plates. But really, it’s all made to share — the concept is hearty tapas and creative cocktails. That’s not to say you can’t order
and keep your food to yourself, but come on, don’t be that guy. Part of the fun here is sharing the excellent smoked shiitake salad, the lush bacon-wrapped igs with a salad of spinach and basil in a tart bacon dressing (brand new to the menu), the fried oysters, the sweet and smoky brussels sprouts. The chili roasted fish tacos with toasted cumin slaw are a longtime favorite; the Southern antipasta has
gotten a recent revamp and now includes smoked chicken salad, pimento cheese, sweet pea ricotta and house-made pickles, along with the most addictive, impossibly thin crostini in town. Want something heartier? Mac and cheese is killer, the sliders will ill you up, the grilled cheese and tomato soup will do the same while it soothes what ails you — and if it doesn’t, well, there’s always the bar.

IT TAKES TWO
Husband-wife artists combine for graceful, playful exhibition
By Fredric Koeppel Special to The Commercial Appeal
I am bewitched but thankfully not bothered or bewildered by the colorful, whimsical and thoughtful exhibition “Walking Eyes,” a collaboration between married artists Kong Wee Pang and Jay Crum, on view at Crosstown Arts through Aug. 15. Some creative couples seem so divisive that it would be impossible to envision a collaboration. A joint painting by Jackson Pollock and Lee Krasner? No way. A novel co-written by Lillian Hellman and Dashiell Hammett? Uh-uh, brother. “Walking Eyes,” however, the response of a monthlong sojourn in Southeast Asia, feels almost divinely inspired. Pang is originally from Malaysia, moving to the United States in 2001. She has a master of fine arts degree from Memphis College of Art. Crum was born in New Orleans and also has an MFA from the College of Art. In 2009, he and Pang founded TaroPop, a small studio that produces T-shirt designs and limited edition art prints. That conjunction of art and design, playfulness and graphic acumen, completely informs the 25 pieces plus one intricate installation that comprise “Walking Eyes.” Each mixed media work could be the fractured narration of a tropical dream, a symbolic rendition of landscape, animal life and

customs, a page from a very cool children’s book. The artists draw on — or have totally subsumed as ideas and influences — batik patterns, Chinese nature painting, various styles of Asian calligraphy and a sort of Seussian approach to the perspectiveless picture plane and the engaging, eccentric detail. The result is a group of pictures that handily toes the line between decoration, storytelling and fine art. The pieces occur in various sizes — measurements are not given — and grouped together as such, from medium to tall and bannerlike to large. Look closely at each one. Pang
and Crum fill these works, most on paper but the last group of six on pongee, a soft woven silk, with the most fantastic notions of plants, vegetables and animals, with the latter being especially inventive and ranging from cats and dogs and birds to pigs and cows and tapirs to creatures undreamed of in any peaceable kingdom. Many of these singularities are tucked away within swirling patterns of earthly and celestial dots and signets, flowing water, rice paddies, fields and forests, mountains, waves and dragon tails and even the occasional urban setting.
The artists hold a sweet balance between abstraction and expression, though do not presume that anything actually realistic is going on here. These boats and floating houses, skies and clouds and creatures, are all absorbed into a sense of a dynamic pattern and ritual, seeming both deliberate and spontaneous. Perhaps the most rigorously composed of these pieces is “Ingredients 1,” a kind of abstract catalog of foodstuff structured, like a face-card, in mirror reverse, that’s my favorite, though I also cotton to “Pixel Plaza,” “Lost Symposium,” “Cloud Land” and “Walking Eyes.” Truly, this graceful exhibition feels like a respite during which politicians and polls, war and worry and the price of prescription drugs are checked at the door.

GERMANTOWN
Iris Society to host 30th annual sale, show Aug. 15 Special to The Weekly
The West Tennessee Iris Society will host its 30th annual iris rhizome sale on Aug. 15, from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., at the Pickering Center, 7771 Poplar Pike. More than 175 named tall bearded varieties will be on sale to the general public. A small selection of other iris varieties and inexpensive unnamed tall bearded rhizome collections also will be for sale. Plan to come early to view the best selection, as many varieties and colors were sold out before closing time last year. Club members will be on hand to answer all your questions about growing the Tennessee’s state
lower. Proceeds from the sale are used to maintain the West Tennessee Iris Society Garden, located at the corner of Poplar Pike and West Street. This educational garden is well known for its beautiful display of newly-introduced tall bearded irises, as well as other varieties. The WTIS also holds a horticultural show each year at the end of April, which is also open to the public. “The irises we’re selling have performed well locally and sell for a fraction of catalog prices,” said Chuck Winters, president of the WTIS. “Irises are one of the easiest perennials to grow in the Mid-South and require no
special spraying or fertilizing. They are not fussy about soil type and thrive on neglect, provided they get 5-6 hours of sunlight per day. They make excellent companion plants for dafodils, daylilies and other perennials since they do not require extra watering in this climate.” “We appreciate the support of the community for our annual sale, since it permits us to continue to purchase, plant and display new varieties and maintain the display garden for the citizens’ enjoyment, which we have done for more than 30 years.” More i n formation about the display garden, sale, show, club membership and activities can be found at wtis-iris.com.

Community COLLIERVILLE READS
Olympic medalist Stevens to speak at kick-of event Special to The Weekly
Collierville Reads 2015 invites residents to its kickof event, “Striving for the American Dream,” which features two-time Olympic track and ield medalist Rochelle Stevens, Aug. 15 at 2 p.m. at the Morton Museum in Collierville. A native Memphian, Stevens will tell her remarkable story, display her gold medal and be available for questions and pictures. In addition, Collierville Reads 2015 will introduce its choice for its third community-wide reading program. “Spare Parts” by Joshua Davis is the true story of “four undocumented teenagers, one ugly robot and the battle for the American dream.” It celebrates grit, ingenuity, teamwork and inspired
teaching. Davis, a writer for Wired magazine, balances the realities of the personal lives of four underprivileged Phoenix teens with the technical details of their quest for a national underwater robotics championship. Theirs is a classic underdog story. The Collierville Reads 2015 program is sponsored by Collierville Literacy Council, a nonproit organization that helps adults achieve their basic literacy, GED, or English-as-aLearned-Language goals. The community-wide reading program aims to encourage reading for pleasure across age lines and to inspire a sense of community. Collierville Schools’ students and teachers also will participate by reading and by
showcasing the STEM program. The junior reading selection is “The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind” by William Kamkwamba and Bryan Mealer. Students and their families are encouraged to read both of these inspiring and true stories. Upcoming events and contests in September and November will highlight STEM, robotics, art and recycling. The Aug. 15 event with Rochelle Stevens is free to attend. The Morton Museum is located at 196 N. Main. Books will be offered for sale at the event and the irst 50 people to purchase a book at the event will receive a $5 discount. Refreshments will be served. For more information, visit colliervilleliteracy. org or call 901-854-0288.
A warm welcome
At Collierville Schools’ new teacher orientation program, Supt. John Aitken encouraged them to make the job fun and care for their students.

RIVERKINGS
Germantown United Methodist campers learn hockey basics Special to The Weekly
Mississippi RiverKings head coach Derek Landmesser and head athletic trainer Rick Hanlon visited the sports summer camp at Germantown United Methodist July 23 as part of the RiverKings “Sticks are for Kids” program. “This is a great program that the RiverKings have,” said camp director Patrick Peavy. “Personally I love hockey and this program is a great way to teach the game to the kids
who haven’t played before and don’t have knowledge about hockey.” Landmesser taught kids how to properly hold a hockey stick, how to pass and shoot, how to wear goalie equipment and the basic rules and regulations in hockey. After the demonstration, the kids were split up into groups by age and had a chance to play a game. For many of the kids, it was the irst time playing hockey. “Coach Landmesser is really the face of hockey in the Mid-South,” Peavy
said. “The fact that he comes to our camp is amazing. A lot of the kids haven’t played hockey before, so this is a great opportunity to learn about the game.” Mississippi RiverKings mascot RiverThing also was in attendance to hang out and take pictures with the kids. After the game, kids were given noisemakers, bookmarks and Face Of Field Trip booklets. The RiverKings will host two Face Of Field Trips this upcoming season on Dec. 8 and Jan. 26.
