Do the Bunny Hop Kids, parents celebrate Easter on the Town Square

By Craig Collier Special to The Weekly

On Good Friday, the sixth annual Bunny Hop Easter Eggstravaganza was held on the Town Square.

With live music, games, arts and crafts and an opportunity to be photographed with the Easter Bunny, the sidewalks and grassy areas were bustling with children, parents and grandparents.

The Junior Auxiliary of Collierville, which provides support for area children and families, helped put on this annual Easter event. In addition to crafting stations, kids had the chance to play Easter-related games, have their faces painted or take photos with Miss Collierville, Miranda Dyer, and Miss Collierville Outstanding Teen, Christal Williamson.

The Junior Auxiliary Club also helps put on the annual Scare on the Square, Unique Boutique and Very Special Events. The organization’s motto is to make our community a better place to live, work and play.

Erick Reinoso, along with 2-year-old Kai, his wife, Jeni, and daughter Ani spent Good Friday at Collierville’s annual Bunny Hop event, which was held at the Town Square.

The city of Germantown has canceled plans to replace a bridge and reconstruct a curved section of McVay Road to ease a sharp turn.

Residents along the curve complained last year that the project, with the exception of the bridge replacement, was unnecessary.

A few dozen people showed up at last week’s Planning Commission and Board of Mayor and Aldermen meetings to voice concern that smoothing out a 90-degree turn in the road would encourage people to speed through the area.

They also raised concerns about the new section of the roadway cutting into an undeveloped natural area, harming both the environment and the aesthetics of the area.

The plan came about due to a need to replace the bridge, which will cost about $1 million. In order to get federal funding for the project, it had to be expanded to it speciic federal guidelines, and became an entire road realignment project.

Despite being more than 50 years old and rated as being in “fair” or “poor” condition several times, “it’s safe to drive on,” City Administrator Patrick Lawton said. He said it will receive extensive maintenance to make sure it stays that way, but is no longer on the list to be replaced.

Lawton said the plan is to take the roughly $1.5 million See ROADS, 2

Race for the Cure leaves suburbs for city Hopes to draw bigger crowd with new home

By Tom Bailey tom.bailey@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2388

Race for the Cure announced a big new home base in Downtown Memphis, a big new sponsor in Raymond James and a big new goal of at least 15,000 registered participants this fall.

Susan G. Komen Memphis-

MidSouth conirmed the move from the suburbs during a news conference.

The nonproit organization that ights breast cancer is leaving the eastern suburbs after 22 years of annual 5K races in Germantown and Collierville.

The next event will begin and end at AutoZone Park on Halloween.

The race drew more than 10,000 registered participants at Collierville’s Shops at Carriage Crossing in the 2014 race,

Germantown Police Reports

but had drawn thousands more in previous years, said Elaine Hare, executive director of the region’s Komen organization.

She sees Downtown Memphis as more of a regional draw.

“The region is used to coming to Memphis for a Redbirds game or a Grizzlies game or Memphis in May,” Hare said. “ ... Well, we represent 21 counties, seven counties in Mississippi and 14 counties in Tennessee. So by bringing it to the heart of our region, we’re hoping we’re going

to get not only Memphians and Shelby Countians and DeSoto Countians but our fartherreaching counties, Dyersburg, Jackson, Tennessee, or Marshall County and Holly Springs.”

Little Rock’s Race for the Cure takes place in that city’s downtown and draws 30,000 participants, Hare said, adding that the larger Memphis should eventually draw more to Downtown.

International Paper remains the presenting sponsor, which requires a minimum $40,000

contribution. The Komen Foundation picked up a major new backer in the Downtown-based Raymond James, which becomes a “Diamond” sponsor for a minimum $35,000 contribution.

“We actually haven’t decided on the total package (of support) yet,” said Jan Gwin, managing director of Raymond James. “ ...

But we’re committed this year and hopefully years to come.’’

ROADS from 1 in funds that were designated for that project and reallocate them to a milling and paving project on Wolf River Boulevard.

Because the plan included federal funding, however, it has to be approved by the Metropolitan Planning Organization, which allocates the funds locally.

The Wolf River project would be the second section of the roadway to be on the iscal year 2016 list for capital improvement projects.

The aldermen this week reviewed a list of 19 projects totaling $11,425,000 that are expected to be completed next iscal year.

Some are entire construction projects and some are

design and engineering work for projects to be completed in future years.

Lawton said the McVay Road project, which has been put of every year for about the last decade, is not as essential as the Wolf River milling and paving, which would reconstruct the roadway from Farmington Road east to Houston High School.

The protests from the residents “certainly made the decision easier,” he said. About $70,000 had been spent on the engineering work for the project, Lawton said, but only $20,000 was city money.

The other section of Wolf River on the capital improvement list is a shorter stretch from Germantown Road east to Kimbrough Road. That would bring the remain-

ing stretches of Wolf River that are east of Germantown Road up to par with the new section of roadway connecting Kimbrough and Farmington.

Also on the capital improvement list for next fiscal year is the final design stage of a project to realign Germantown Road in the Old Germantown neighborhood. The project was part of the city’s Smart Growth plan in 2007 that looked for a way for traic to low more easily through town.

Germantown Road currently dead-ends into Poplar Pike. Drivers traveling south have to make a right on Poplar Pike and then another left to continue south on Germantown Road. The project would eliminate those turns and make one continuous Germantown Road.

It also would make West Street, which runs parallel to Germantown Road, more pedestrian-friendly.

Alderman John Barzizza, who in his election campaign last year spoke out against the project, said in a meeting last Wednesday he still has concerns. He said businesses in the area are concerned it will make traic worse instead of better.

“I think the entire project needs a new look,” Barzizza said. “As it stands right now, I certainly couldn’t vote for it.”

Lawton said the city will move forward with the inal planning but that he will call for a special work session to review the project before it would go to a vote. Construction would not start until at least iscal year 2017, he said.

Board tosses Madden ethics inquiry Case closes, another opens

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

The Collierville Board of Mayor and Aldermen dismissed an ethics complaint iled against a Parks Advisory Board member but launched a new investigation into an allegation the parks board member made during his defense.

Steve Madden was cleared of an ethics violation for bidding on a parks project that he had previously endorsed as a member of the advisory board.

He won the bid at meeting he did not $367,580 out of sevintend for his reen bids submitted. mark to spur anWhen given the other investigation, chance to speak but was delivering during a special a message that he called meeting, “wanted somebody Madden said one of to back off.” He the aldermen had Steve added he will not once instructed him Madden cooperate with the to deliver dirt from town’s new investia town project to a private gation and he expects it will residence. Mayor Stan end there.

Joyner said that could have Alderman Tom Allen criminal as well as ethical iled the complaint against implications.

Madden is a Lewellen to start an inves- co-owner of Madden Philtigation. lips Contractors Inc. He Madden said after the was appointed to his ifth

year-long term on the Parks Advisory Board in January and previously served on the Planning Commission.

Town Atty. Nathan Bicks noted the town is in the process of rewriting its ethics code to allow for advisory board members, who are volunteers and don’t have any inal say on a project, to bid on town work. The board also discussed the ethics policy last month, for which Allen was absent.

“Board members don’t have the duty and don’t have the authority to allocate money on behalf of the town,” Bicks said.

Lewellen said a violation occurs if someone on the board knowingly uses their position to achieve a inan-

cial gain. He said he didn’t believe Madden used his position, because he didn’t have any more information than any other member of the public when he submitted his bid.

Lewellen said the code says Madden had to take action as a board member that “substantially” afected the outcome of the project.

He said he didn’t believe an advisory board recommendation constituted a substantial action.

Lewellen also said that although the town trains its volunteer board members in ethics, it never instructed them not to bid on projects with the town.

“We failed Steve Madden if we turn around and

hold him to an ethical violation,” he said.

Joyner took Allen to task for iling the complaint.

“You’ve basically slandered a contractor with an ethics complaint (who’s) done work with the town and volunteered with the town for years,” Joyner said.

In February, Allen voted against a change to the town’s beer ordinance that allowed Madden to serve beer on-site at his other business, On Tap Growlers.

Allen voted with the rest of the board to dismiss the complaint, but during the debate continued to assert that there was a violation.

“I’m going strictly by what the code says,” Allen said.

By Tom Charlier charlier@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2572

Local transportation planners have labeled Hacks Cross Road one of the Memphis area’s “highcrash corridors,” and it’s not hard to see why.

South of Shelby Drive, large numbers of trucks and automobiles negotiate alternating road widths and alignments. At intersections with Holmes and State Line roads, Hacks Cross expands to more than four lanes — two lanes going straight in each direction, plus turn lanes — only to squeeze back into two lanes a few hundred feet away.

It’s a coniguration that

has led to numerous sideswiping and “clipping” accidents as motorists maneuver to merge from two lanes to one, said Shelby County Public Works Director Tom Needham.

“Folks will pull up next to each other (at the intersection) and start racing to see who can get there first,” said Needham, who has reports of “guns drawn” and other roadrage episodes.

To ix the problem, the county plans to re-stripe a nearly 2-mile stretch of Hacks Cross from Shelby to State Line Road. The new striping will include traffic-calming features, but the biggest change will be that only one lane of vehicles will be allowed

Adviser says $90M debt for school would add to cost Credit rating not likely hurt, but $5.5M more payments

ÂŤÂŤ

T H E W E E K LY

ÂŤ Thursday, April 9, 2015 ÂŤ 7

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

Issuing $90 million in debt to build a new high school is doable, but would cost Collierville about $5.5 million in additional payments each year, the town’s inancial adviser said April 2.

Lauren Lowe, director of Public Financial Management Inc., said the town would most likely keep its triple-A credit rating even with the extra debt.

The inal decision is up to credit rater Moody’s, she said, but as long as the town shows willingness to ind ways to pay back debt, the credit rating should not fall.

Lowe presented a 30year debt scenario to the Board of Mayor and Aldermen during a work session.

Based on the current market, Lowe said they would be looking at an interest rate around 3 percent.

If the town was to commit to $90 million in debt just for a new school, Lowe said it’s hard to say how much that would limit the town from doing other capital projects over the next 30 years. “I think it would be at the will of the board,� she said, adding that changes to the tax base could afect how much debt the city could incur. If the town grows in population, ad-

ditional debt even after the $90 million is possible, she said.

Town inance director Jane Bevill said the town currently pays about $4 million a year on about $33 million of outstanding general fund debt.

Collierville Schools is pleading its case with the community to get on board with a plan for a new high school and to turn the current Collierville High School into a middle school.

Last week, a publicopinion poll showed residents did not support a tax increase up to 38 cents to pay for a new high school.

But the vote was both informal and close, decided by only 38 votes out of 4,426.

The town has turned the reins over to the school board and administration to decide how to move forward.

In the meantime, the town is reviewing its inancial options. Lowe did not discuss how much the

tax rate would have to increase, but town oicials have used the 38-cent number as a likely cap on how high it would go.

Town Administrator James Lewellen said the news that the bond rating would not be afected is a testament to the town’s stable inancial plan, made up of a diverse stream of revenues. “To put schools in and put a $90 million shock to your plan is a pretty good test to your inancial plan,� he said.

Vice Mayor Maureen Fraser said it was encouraging to hear that the amount of debt the town has is only a small percentage of what factors into its bond rating. If the town decides to move forward with the new school construction, she said they would still have money to do other capital projects along the way. “We can aford it, we can do it, and we can maintain our bond rating,� she said.

The local curling season begins in late April, with two seasons of league play continuing through August.

Paragon Bank hosts artwork by St. Louis Catholic students

By Beth Wilson

Finley Carney, (front, left) Mia Soefker, Lindsey Crossnine, Will Brownlee, Anna Kate Wade, Claire John (back), Allison Bryant, Geno Spiotta, Jackson Lyons and Brittain Ross, all students from St. Louis Catholic School, have their artwork hanging at Paragon Bank.

Special to The Weekly

Paragon Bank is hosting artwork by elementary and junior high students from St. Louis Catholic School throughout April in its Saddle Creek banking center, 7600 Poplar.

The bank worked with St. Louis Catholic School art teacher Robin Durden to display pieces by 13 fourth-grade students and 11 junior high students.

“We are always inspired by the talent of these young students, and it’s a pleasure for our employees and customers to view their great work,” said Robert Shaw, chief executive oficer at Paragon Bank. “We have enjoyed working with St. Louis School for many years, and we continually look forward to the

annual showcase.”

This year, the art pieces are separated into two diferent categories, one for fourth-grade students and the other for junior high students.

The fourth-grade students recently learned about Georgia O’Keefe and her lower paint-

ings. They primarily drew iris lowers and completed the pictures with a watercolor background after studying how to mix colors using oil pastels.

Junior high students gained inspiration from the art movement known as Fauve, created and named by Henri Matisse

in the early 20th century.

They used this knowledge to depict landscapes using simple shapes, complementary colors and contrasting warm and cool colors.

The artwork was created by Will Brownlee, Finley Carney, Savannah Cook, Lindsey Crossnine, Anne Grimes, Mckinley Kee, McKenzie Patterson, Ellie Reynolds, Katie Skinner, Mia Sofker, Ava Trainor, Anna Kate Wade and Cooper Williams in fourth grade; and Karen Benedict, Allison Bryant, Graciela Cabrero, Catie Grusin, Claire John, Gracie Kitchens, Jackson Lyons, Hughes Raiford, Brittain Ross, Layton Scarbrough and Geno Spiotta in junior high.

Home & Garden

SPEAKING OF GARDENING ...

April brings inspiration at New Albany Home and Garden Show April always arrives later and sooner than expected.

One day we are despairing that winter will never end.

Then suddenly spring arrives like Superman on a mission — going faster than a speeding bullet.

Mild temperatures call us to our gardens where the need for weeding, bed preparation, planting and mulching is obvious.

But it’s so easy for me to postpone those chores in favor of day trips to purchase plants, visit gardens and hear inspiring educational talks that provide tasty fodder to feed this column.

In the last few years, I’ve enjoyed attending the New Albany Home and Garden Show, a two-day event that draws more than 3,000 people to the town of about 8,500 residents about an hour drive from eastern suburbs.

This year’s show, which takes place Friday and Saturday at the Union County Fairgrounds, features the always entertaining and informative Felder Rushing.

Rushing will share the podium with his friend, garden designer Rick Griin, as they discuss “color in your yard” on Friday. He’s going solo on Saturday with a presentation on slow gardening with all of your senses.

Griin, who designed Rushing’s celebrated garden in Jackson, Miss., also will make a presentation Saturday on landscaping.

Rushing, a former extension horticulturist, is a radio show host and the author of numerous books on gardening, including the classic “Passalong Plants” with Steven Bender.

As a speaker, Rushing is in

Tulips, tulips everywhere! Some 70,000 tulip bulbs, including this sea of three diferent white varieties, and about 80,000 other spring bulbs are now in bloom at Dixon Gallery and Garden.

NORMA MONTESI

CHRISTINE ARPE GANG GREEN THUMB

demand all over this country and abroad, especially in England, where he spends about half the year.

Because his roots grow deep in Mississippi soil, he generously shares his wise and humorous experiences with gardeners in our region.

It would be a mistake to take his presence for granted.

Heavily represented on the program’s agenda are experts from Mississippi extension giving talks on pollinators, lawns, container vegetable gardening, mosquito and armadillo control, butterlies, food preparation and preservation and more.

As usual, the Friday luncheon featuring a loral de-

signer is sold out. This year’s presenter is Lynette McDougald, the lorist shop manager at Mississippi State University.

Union County master gardeners take over the organization and presenting of the event, which is seven years old.

Tim Burress, a garden writer, radio talk show host and organizer of the event until this year, has retired from the volunteer role. But he shared the event’s history with me.

Stanley Wise, the Union County extension agent, asked for his help in planning a oneday garden/farm day in 2008.

“There was no budget, so I started beating the bush to get sponsors,” Burress said. “We thought we might have about a hundred people, and 500 showed up.”

The next year, they got a little more money and around 1,000 folks attended. The year after that, the event expanded to a day and a half and attracted even more.

“Then my wife Janet dreamed up the idea to ofer

a luncheon and loral demonstration,” he said.

The 160 tickets sold out almost immediately and attendance climbed again.

Now the show is considered one of the top three gardening events in Mississippi.

Did I mention vendors?

There will be lots of them selling unique garden-related items.

Gates to the free event open at 11 a.m. Friday and 8 a.m. Saturday.

For a complete schedule of programs, go to New Albany Home & Garden Show on Facebook.

Be sure to check the Home & Garden Calendar for all of the events happening in and around Memphis in the coming weeks.

Saturday, Burress will be a vendor at the Tipton County Lawn & Garden Expo in Brighton.

Among the plants he will be selling are native milkweeds that attract monarch butterlies. Milkweed leaves of both

the native and tropical varieties are the only food monarch caterpillars will eat.

Monarch butterly support groups are urging gardeners everywhere to plant milkweed to ensure the survival of the orange and black winged butterlies.

Hours for the free event are 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. For more information, go to tiptoncountymastergardeners.com.

ENJOY SPRING’S NATURE You will no doubt see spring lowers almost anywhere you go in the outdoors this month.

But if you can, go to Dixon Gallery and Gardens to see the display of 150,000 spring lowering bulbs, including 70,000 tulips, most of them at their peak right now.

Swaths of three diferent kinds of white tulips wind through the lawn near the Hughes Pavilion. A river of muscari — the small blue-purple grape hyacinths many of us receive free with bulb orders — lows near the gallery.

Faith COMMUNITY

On March 18, Deolia “Boots” Bell (left) received a gift of a long lost family Bible, pictures and other memorabilia from Peggy Holloway (second from left) of Atlanta. Holloway and her husband Joe (third from let) lew in from Atlanta to return the family Bible.

Holloway and Bell were connected through the eforts of the Tennessee Genealogical Society in Germantown including TNGS President Joe Burns.

Bible comes home after long journey

By Jason Terrell terrell@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2509

A journey of just over half a century that spanned ive states ended in Germantown on March 18 and 85-year-old Deolia “Boots” Bell of Memphis couldn’t be happier.

In this case, the traveler is a leather-bound Bible, given to Bell’s aunt, Mattie Lou Myers, in the early 1950s. The two were reunited at the Germantown Regional History and Genealogy Center thanks to the eforts of the Bible’s latest caretaker, Peggy Holloway of Atlanta, and Joe Burns and Cindy Rodgers of the Tennessee Genealogical Society.

The Bible made its way from Memphis to Texas and into the hands of Bell’s other aunt, Jewel Marie Horne, a former Miss Dallas. Horne moved from Texas to California where she spent the last years of her life.

During those last years, Horne made the acquaintance of a local upholstery shop owner in Newhall, Ca., named Louise Quick.

According to Quick’s daughter, Peggy Holloway, Horne would come in to the shop and hang around, eventually growing to depend on Quick more and more. During Horne’s inal years, Quick helped move her to an as-

sisted living facility and many of her belongings were placed in storage.

When Horne died, Quick took care of her affairs and saved a number of personal items, including the Bible, family photos and a diary kept by Horne.

Quick eventually moved from California to Salem, Ohio and Horne’s personal items went with her.

One day more than a year ago, Quick and her daughter were discussing the status of the personal efects. “I have this Bible,” Holloway recalled her mom telling her. Holloway expressed a strong desire to return the items to Horne’s family, but didn’t know any of them or how to ind them. She told her mother, “I’ll go on my computer and see what I can do.”

She took the Bible and other items home to Atlanta, where she set out to ind the original owners or their descendants with the help of local genealogists — all with no luck.

Some suggested she turn over the Bible to the genealogists at the Mormon Family History Center in Salt Lake City in hopes they could locate living relatives. But, Holloway couldn’t part with it.

She knew the family had lived in Memphis, but she couldn’t ind any other

connections. That is, until she watched a documentary titled, “Finding Vivian Maier,” which detailed the search for information about a mysterious street photographer who died without family and left boxes of photographs and negatives representing years of her work.

A genealogist in the ilm who helped uncover details about Maier said all states have genealogical societies that can help with such matters. This was the clue Holloway needed. She e-mailed the Tennessee Genealogical Society headquartered in Germantown.

TNGS secretary Cindy Rodgers received the email and passed it along to president Joe Burns.

Burns contacted Holloway in Atlanta to get more details and said with the help of some informative websites, it only took a matter of hours to locate Deolia Bell.

Burns called Bell and told her someone had a family Bible. He asked if she was interested in making contact. She was.

Within a few days,

Peggy received a call from Burns — he had found the right family member.

Holloway and Bell then spoke on the phone. Bell had a follow-up conversation with Quick about the last years of Horne’s life and the status of the Bible.

Not wanting to trust the Bible to be sent through the mail, Holloway and husband, Joe, f lew to Memphis from Atlanta to present Bell with the Bible and other personal efects that belonged to her aunt.

Bell said she was excited to share the ind with her two children.

As a result of his research, Burns also was able to give Bell more information on both sides of her family, including a connection to the King of Rock n’ Roll.

“In doing research, Deolia is a third cousin to Elvis Presley,” Burns said in a Facebook post. “Her husband and brother-inlaw both went to Humes (High School) and played touch football with Elvis.” “ W h at wonder f u l folks,” Burns continued.

“This is why I do genealogy.”

Deolia “Boots” Bell of Memphis holds an old picture of her aunt, Jewel Marie Horne. The picture was one of a number of items returned to Bell by Peggy Holloway of Atlanta whose mother, Louise, was a friend of Marie Horne.

So what makes one mattress diferent from another? To begin with, there are three types of mattresses: traditional innerspring, all-foam, and foam and innerspring hybrids. Traditional innerspring mattresses will ofer you the basic support you need, while all-foam mattresses are pressure relieving, giving you better circulation and comfort. The benefit to the hybrid innerspring and foam mattress is that they provide support as well as relieve pressure. From there, there can be many variations and combinations of diferent materials and technologies to fit each person’s specific needs.

Unlock The Potential Of Better Sleep It is easy to think that a good night’s sleep is not that important to our lifestyle and health, since the many other life factors and stressors we go through each day often shut out what our bodies are trying to tell us. You may not realize it, but a third of our lives are actually spent asleep. That’s a staggering amount of time for us to devote to something, but our bodies need this because a restful, comfortable night’s sleep is vital to optimally livingourlivesthenextday.AccordingtotheCDC,insuicientsleep is a public health epidemic. Lack of sleep can lead to unhealthy habits like drowsy driving and dozing of at work or school, or worse. Not getting proper sleep can afect our concentration, memory, and our work, and these negative efects can have bigger consequences on the quality and outcome of our lives.

How can you get a better night’s sleep? The best place to start is by figuring out how much sleep you need. According to the National Health Interview Survey, 30% of adults were reporting 6 hours or less sleep per day. The amount needed varies by age, but The National Institutes of Health recommend that school age children get at least 10 hours of sleep, teens 9-10 hours, and adults 7-8 hours. If you have started to notice changes in your sleep patterns, or if you start waking up with aches and pains, it’s probably time to consider a new mattress.

First of, think about how old your current mattress is.

How long has it been it use? Did you know that your mattress will triple in weight over the next 10 years because of all of the moisture and dead skin that we lose during sleep? Next, think about how you felt when you woke up this morning. If you’re not getting the kind of support your body needs, it could be leading you to wake up feeling less than your best. But mattress shopping can be overwhelming and stressful. It’s easy to look online or in a showroom and see nothing but a sea of white rectangles.

Collierville High School varsity baseball players celebrate after Saturday’s 6-3 win over Germantown. The Dragons defeated the Red Devils twice last weekend.

Houston sweeps Collierville and Germantown

By Pete Wickham Special to The Weekly

R

ivals Weekend baseball in Southeast Shelby County is one of those deals where, after its done, everything would seem to be clear. And yet there’s still a little tinge of nothing being quite like it seems.

Houston appears to be the Alpha Dog in its annual Division 15-AAA dogight with Collierville and Germantown. The Mustangs (15-4), ranked third in The Commercial Appeal’s Dandy Dozen, capped the weekend at No. 7 Collierville (12-9) Saturday, jumping on Dragons’ ace Alex Johnson for four irst-inning runs on the way to an 8-3 decision. Houston swept all four games against its neighbors, showing plenty of strong pitching and a loaded lineup.

The Dragons then took a 6-3 win, and a sweep of the two games with a young Germantown team (2-11) struggling to ind its way. Pecking order’s clear. Everything nice and tidy, right?

Not exactly.

“Look, the baseball gods were smiling on us,” Houston coach Lane McCarter said. “That irst inning, everything we hit had eyes. Nothing was really smoked.”

The irst four Houston hitters singled, Cullen Ray driving in a run with his hit. A bases-loaded walk by Johnson to Logan Brown made it 2-0 then a ielder’s choice and an error allowed two more runs to score.

And for a bit, it looked like this game had a slow-pitch softball slugfest look to it as Collierville answered with a leadof single by Parker Phillips and a double by Fulton Johnson, Phillips scoring on an error. But Houston recovered in time to get Johnson going to third, and the rest of the way junior Brandon Maxwell (2-1) kept control by mixing his mid-80s fastball, a curve and changeup to keep the Dragon hitters of balance.

“I just had to pitch and let my defense get it,” said Maxwell, who only struck out one.

McCarter said Maxwell “can pitch some day’s like he’s our ace, and some days he’s been bad.

But right now we’re thin in the pitching department (with Connor Haymon and Conrad Ray out for the season with injuries) so he’s got to step up.”

Ofensively the Mustangs rapped out 10 hits, two each by Jared Schmidt, Ayrton Schafer and Fulton Johnson. Ray reached base four times (inield hit, two walks, hit by pitch). But the only real sock came on an RBI double by Schmidt that chased Johnson and triggered a three-run fourth inning.

“The power’s there, but we’re waiting for it to come,” Schmidt said.

Collierville had to rally twice during the weekend to beat Germantown. On Saturday, the Red Devils greeted reliever Alex Hicks with two runs scoring on an error to break a 1-all tie in the ifth.

pitcher in a 3-2, eight-inning game with Houston last Thursday, settled himself and pitched threehit relief the rest of the way, striking out ive.

“I was rushing, and I just had to slow myself down,” Hicks said.

The Dragons took a 5-3 lead with four runs in the fourth of sophomore pitcher Ryan Horne, two on a double by Austin Peay signee Parker Phillips. They added a run in the sixth on a wild pitch from reliever Myles Montgomery, who had a pair of singles and scored a run at the plate.

“We’ve still got a lot of young players and older guys playing their irst varsity ball,” Phillips said.

“The good part is that this doesn’t count all that much (save for district tournament seeding).

We’ve got a month to get better.”

Collierville coach Jef Hopkins, meanwhile, kept talking about the athleticism of a Germantown team, which got several huge plays in centerield from Dakoda Stone and the grit he saw from that squad. “Casey (Coach Callaway) has got athletes, and he’s got them playing hard,”

Hopkins said. “The 2-11 record doesn’t tell the story how much they make you work.”

Callaway appreciated the compliment, but said “our kids are still learning what they have to do to win games down the stretch. We’re not there yet.”

On Friday at Germantown, Houston’s Reed Blair (3-0) pitched a ive-hit complete game, striking out ive and giving up just one earned run the Mustangs’ 8-3 win over Germantown.

Schmidt had two hits, including a double, while Coleman Blair had two hits and drove in a pair of runs for the Mustangs. Losing pitcher Andruw Jones had two hits and an RBI for Germantown.

Earlier, the Devils jumped to a 3-0 lead over Collierville, but the Dragons rallied to a 5-3 decision, taking the lead with a three-run sixth inning. Matt Loeler and C.J. Fleming had two hits, and Phillips drove in a pair of runs for Collierville. Landon Horne had two RBI for the Devils.

Last Thursday at Houston, the Mustangs tied Collierville in the bottom of the seventh as Hicks hit Cullen Ray with a pitch with the bases loaded.

Houston then got the game-winner in the eighth as Logan Brown led of with a double and eventually scored on an error to make it a 4-3 decision.

Schafer had two hits, including a two-run double for Houston while Parker Cathey had two hits for the Dragons and Bo Sutton.

In the day’s other game, Jack Rude (3-1) pitched a one-hitter, striking out eight as Houston rolled to a 15-1 win over Germantown in a ive-inning contest. Schmidt had three hits, including a double, and the Mustangs blew things open with a nine-run third inning, the big hit a two-run double by Logan Brown.

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.

CPD earns seventh accreditation award

Town converts old lumber yard to equipment storage

Special to The Weekly

On March 21, the Collierville Police Department received its seventh Award of Accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies.

Since 1995, the Collierville Police Department started this voluntary process to improve eiciency in order to provide the highest quality of service to the Collierville community. The Collierville Police Department is the only accredited suburban police force in Shelby County.

The Collierville Police Department undergoes

an accreditation process through CALEA every three years. Two accredited law enforcement oficials from police departments in Mason, Ohio, and Cape Coral, Fla., spent four days in Collierville to review and assess all aspects of the police department. Operations, services, policies, procedures and management are evaluated to ensure that the department is in compliance with 484 performance standards.

Following the third-party assessment, the visiting examiners complied a comprehensive report to be sent to the CALEA com-

Appearing before the commission hearings at the most recent conference in Reno, Nev., were Asst. Chief Jef Abeln and Capt. Chris Locke.

“Having the support of our town and the guidance of CALEA greatly assists the department in our eforts to continually improve,” Abeln said.

“The accreditation process holds the agency accountable and sets the bar for professionalism,” Collierville Police Chief Larry Goodwin said. “After such an intense review, the citizens of Collierville should be reassured that they are being served by a highly professional team of law enforcement professionals.”

The Great AMERICAN KITCHEN Event

Special to The Weekly

With the onset of spring, many may feel like they are coming out of hibernation, ready for warm sunshine and more time spent outdoors. However, there is one group who “kept on trucking” through the worst winter days we experienced these past few months. Sanitation crews from Collierville Public Services did not miss a single day of garbage collection and managed to safely stay on schedule.

“Our employees deserve praise for completing every route accident free,” said public services director Bill Kilp. “Installing chains on the automated cart collection trucks kept the crews safe as they traveled over the icy roads.”

When temperatures dropped below freezing, the trucks were protected from the elements while not in use. In 2012, the town purchased 12 acres from Craig Lumber Company, including two large metal buildings. Utilizing the newly acquired buildings, garbage trucks were parked inside the metal building.

While not heated, it is warm enough to keep the trucks’ hydraulics from freezing and allowed sanitation crews to stay on schedule.

In addition to using the property to store equipment, the town plans on utilizing the structures for multi-functional purposes.

The east building, located along Progress Road, will become the new parks maintenance facility with

oice space and an area for equipment maintenance. The west building will be primarily used for storage purposes as it has been used for the garbage trucks the past few years.

“This property met several needs of our longrange facility plan. As the town grows so does our leet of equipment,” said general services director Derek Honeycutt. “We were able to purchase the land and existing structures for a great price, thus saving the town the costs of purchasing land and constructing a new facility. We did a few modiications to bring the buildings up to code, but overall the buildings were ready for our use.”

Recently, the Collierville Fire Department used the land behind the warehouses for vehicle extraction safety training. Donated cars were brought to the property for ireighters to practice emergency rescue scenarios and train with heavy rescue equipment.

“The town originally looked into construction of a town-wide warehouse for the storage of materials and records,” said Town Administrator James Lewellen. “But the cost exceeded the budgeted amount. This property had the storage needed for multiple departments, was within our budget and is located within close proximity of the Public Services Complex. This made the property economically advantageous for the town’s future expansion needs.”

A thing about traditional holiday foods is that people tend to have opinions about them. Take matzo balls and matzo ball soup.

Marcia Levy says to use schmaltz.

Alice Wilkins says the secret is seltzer.

Carol Franklin says she might try something new soon.

“Someone was talking the other day about how her grandmother would brown onions and add them to her matzo balls. I might try that,” Franklin said.

Doesn’t that sound good?

“No!” said Wilkins. “That sounds awful!”

And don’t even talk about Marisa Baggett’s Asian rif on matzo ball soup, which includes slices of jalapeño pepper in the lemongrass-ginger broth and cilantro in the dumplings.

No, ma’am.

“Oh, I’m very traditional about it,” said Levy.

But everyone agrees on this: To have good matzo ball soup, you have to have good matzo balls. The ingredients might vary a little and so might the technique, but it comes down to one main diference. You either use matzo meal or you use matzo ball mix.

Franklin, who often oversees the production of 800 matzo balls for Passover at Temple Israel, uses the mix.

“I buy a well-known box of matzo ball mix and I follow the recipe,” she said.

“They spent thousands and thousands of dollars developing that recipe. Why change it?”

Not Levy.

“It’s sort of like using a cake mix,” she said. “I igure that once you dirty up a bowl, why not mix in a few other ingredients?”

Passover began Friday at sundown, and matzo ball soup was served at Seders all around town. Franklin remembers that her father, on the third day when broth remained but the matzo balls were gone, would get inventive.

“He used to make something he called a runaround,” she said. “I don’t know where he came up with that, but he would make a loose matzo mix and just stir it in the hot soup. It kind of

looked like an egg drop soup.”

And while her parents used schmaltz for the fat in their matzo balls, she usually uses the oil called for in the recipe on the box.

Schmaltz is rendered chicken fat that hardens at room temperature. It can be melted and used like oil — or it can be smeared on matzo crackers as a snack.

When the schmaltz is rendered, the pieces of fat that are left in the skillet — the crisp, brown bombs of lavor — are the gribenes, the chicken cracklings.

One thing all these good cooks agree on is that you do not cook your matzo balls in your soup; it soaks up too much of the stock.

“I cook them in water, but I use a bouillon cube or something to lavor it,” said Wilkins.

Franklin and Wilkins have a similar tip for light matzo balls: Fizz.

Wilkins prepares hers with seltzer.

Franklin doesn’t prepare the mix that way, but when she takes it out of the refrigerator, she mixes in a bit of club soda, just enough to loosen the dough and lighten it.

Levy uses the recipe on the side of the canister of Manischewitz matzo meal (remember, she doesn’t use the mix, which comes in two packets in a small box), but uses schmaltz in place of oil. And it’s a bit scientiic for her, too.

“Matzo is like bread lour. Sometimes it absorbs more moisture and sometimes less,” she said. “If it’s too loose, it won’t make a ball, and if it’s too dry, they’ll be hard. You just have to work with it.”

Levy has a few other tricks. Everyone refrigerates the dough at least as long as the directions say, and some readers wrote in last year and said it’s ine to mix it in the morning, refrigerate it and then cook after work. But Levy makes her matzo balls slightly smaller than the recipe says, she’ll never cook a double recipe, and when she forms the balls, they go from the bowl to a plate instead of in the boiling water. When they’re all ready, she puts them in the pot, one by one but very quickly.

“Never, ever open the pot until it’s time,” she said. “When they’re done, they’ll rise to the top.”

EASTER IN COLLIERVILLE

YMCA celebrates with annual Eggstravaganza

By Tish Lewis Special to The Weekly

The indoor pool at the YMCA at Schilling Farms was covered with thousands of plastic eggs for the center’s annual Easter Eggstravaganza.

When the whistle blew, children collected as many plastic eggs as they could and placed the eggs in their baskets.

“This is a great event,” said Tyler Byrd, aquatics coordinator at the YMCA at Schilling Farms. “The children have a blast collecting the eggs in the pool.”

Following the egg loat, there was cookie decorating, plenty of popcorn for everyone and Chick-il-A coupons.

Tish Lewis is the community program director for the YMCA at Schilling Farms.

Hannah Glenn, 8, won first place for her age group at the egg float at the YMCA at Schilling Farms. Y Teen Leaders club member Lauren Stokke presents Hannah with her prize basket.
