When Suzanne Thomas’ husband found a job in Memphis last summer, the then-Atlanta resident did her homework on where her family should live. Schools, she said, were the driving factor. She visited schools in Memphis, Collierville and Germantown. She liked most of them, but fell in love with Farmington Elementary in Germantown. “There was a lot of uncertainty about where they were going to draw the lines and how they were going to handle the zoning,” Thomas said. “That absolutely made me decide to buy in Germantown because I wanted to be sure we were in a Germantown school.” Suburbs like Germantown and nearby Cordova and Collierville were among the leaders in sales growth in the Greater Memphis housing market in

It was one of the easiest — and best — decisions that Troy Baker has ever made. The athletic director at Lausanne had read reports that Ken Net herla nd was stepping down from his coaching job at St. George’s. The Lynx were in the process Ken of trying to get Netherland their program of the ground, so Baker decided to give it a shot. “I asked him, ‘Are you done with football or just done at St. George’s?” said Baker. “And he said he wasn’t done. I asked him ‘What are you doing tomorrow?’ And he said, ‘I’ll be in your oice.’ “If coach Netherland doesn’t come to Lausanne when he does, if he doesn’t buy in to our vision, teach the game and relate and inspire our kids, I don’t think we’re in the position we are today. Our program and our school owe him a lot.” The same could be said for the Memphis high school football community as a whole. Netherland, the winningest football coach in Tennessee history, died Saturday at age 74. He had been hospitalized in intensive care since late May after undergoing heart surgery. He won 368 games in his head football coaching career that began at Hillcrest in

In the News BOARD OF MAYOR AND ALDERMEN

G’town eyes pay hike for legal advisers, judges Mulls more lawn usage for residential parking By Jennifer Pignolet pignolet@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2372

Germantown is considering pay increases for the city’s inhouse judges and outsourced legal services. Both issues were on Monday’s Board of Mayor and Aldermen agenda, along with a public hearing to allow residents on corner

lots the option to put another parking spot on their lawns. The city currently pays Debra Wiles of Burch, Porter and Johnson a retainer of $13,000 per month, which does not include litigation fees. The proposed increase would be to $22,000. City Administrator Patrick Lawton said the $13,000 igure has been in place since 2007, although the city has worked with the irm for 23 years. Wiles was appointed the city attorney last year. The legislation states the law irm asked for the increase.

Germantown Police report

Wiles, with support from others at the irm, sits in at all Board of Mayor and Aldermen meetings and advises the city on varying legal matters such as contracts, human resources, and interpreting state law. The aldermen approved the second reading of the legislation and moved it to a inal vote at the next regular meeting. The proposed increase of judges’ salaries would be from $30,000 a year to $35,000 a year, taking efect as soon as the legislation is approved. The city

employs two judges who handle state and local criminal cases. As part of the change, the judges’ salaries would automatically increase again in 2018 to $40,000. The board held a public hearing on the issue of residential parking Monday, although no one from the public came to speak for or against the change. Economic and community development director Cameron Ross said a request from a resident who lives near Riverdale School spurred the proposal. “He wanted to take his car

of of the street because he lives near the school and it was a busy road,” Ross said. The resident, he said, lives on a corner lot and wanted a second parking pad. The proposed change would allow a second, paved parking pad for corner lots, as long as the two parking pads of the driveway do not add up to more than 300 square feet. The area would have to be paved, not gravel or grass. The issue was moved to a third and inal reading at the next meeting.

Briarcrest students Meagan Connors and Daniel Stoll compete in the National School of Rock Battle of the Bands, where their band made it to the final round of competition out of dozens of groups from across the United States and Canada.

Rockers on a roll Briarcrest musicians reach finals in national battle of bands contest By Marlon W. Morgan morgan@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2792

As Daniel Stoll sat at his drums for the irst time at the National School of Rock Battle of the Bands contest in Milwaukee earlier this summer, he looked out and noticed one of the celebrity judges was Metal Mike (Chlasciak), a guitarist for heavy metal band Halford. But that didn’t faze Stoll, a rising junior at Briarcrest. He was ready to bang out his beats. “I don’t get nervous anymore,” Stoll said calmly. Stoll and fellow Briarcrest rising junior Meagan Connors, a lead singer, along with seven other members from the Germantown School of Rock band, managed to reach the inal round of the competition that featured 59 bands from 32 schools in 15 states, and one band from Canada.

The contest, titled GEMBA, a Japanese word for the “real place,” was part of Milwaukee’s Summerfest, known as “The World’s Largest Music Festival.” It was June 28 and 29. While another Tennessee band, from Franklin, won top honors, both Stoll and Connors were ecstatic over the experience and returned home even more determined to make performing music their career path. “It helped me meet a lot of other musicians,” Stoll said. “It helped me make good friends and taught me about music and what I need to do with my life. It deinitely was a good experience.” To reach the inals, the band competed in a set with bands from Miami and Seattle. They had 15 minutes to perform their three song choices — “The Spirit of Radio” by Rush, “Consoler of the Lonely” by The Raconteurs,

and “Freya” by The Sword. The nine members rotated so that everyone appeared in at least two songs. “It was just really cool, a lot of fun,” said Connors, who is participating in a ive-week program at Boston’s prestigious Berklee College of Music, where she will take classes in songwriting, production, stage presence and performance. “My goal is to have this as a career. It’s just more experience. I love it even more, the more that I perform.” Both students also participate in Briarcrest’s SoundScape, a school band that performs a variety of musical styles and has made three CDs. “With Daniel and Meagan’s experience with School of Rock, I think they’re going to be two very valuable assets to our program,” said Michael Parsons, the director of instrumental music at Briarcrest. “I think it’s an incredible opportunity that they’ve had to be able to perform on that level, on the national level, and to be so successful against some of the best bands around.”

COACH from 1 1966 and included stops at Germantown, St. George’s and Lausanne. Netherland won a pair of state championships and his teams finished runner-up on ive other occasions. He was named to the National High School Coaches Association Hall of Fame in 2000. “I love him,” said Brent Hill, who worked as an assistant under Netherland at St. George’s and is now the head coach at Opp High in Alabama. “That man forgot more about football than most people will ever know.” Born Sept. 11, 1939, Netherland grew up in Yazoo City, Mississippi, before going on to play football and baseball at Ole Miss. He coached baseball for two seasons at Westwood before taking over football coaching at Hillcrest, where his teams won 60 games in eight seasons. Netherland moved to Germantown in 1974, inheriting a squad that had won just one game the previous year. And it took three more seasons for the Red Devils to get over .500. But shortly thereafter they were one of the

most feared programs in the state. Netherland won 250 games in 29 seasons with the Red Devils, including the AAA state title in 1983. “I learned so much from him over the years,” said Collierville head coach Mike O’Neill, who was a senior strong safety on that 1983 team. “He was a hands-on coach; he’d get in there during the individual drills. He was a (football) fundamentalist and he demanded people work their butts of. “And he was fanatical about ilm. We’d get in there early Saturday morning after the game on Friday and he’d have already watched the ilm. We’d be like ‘How did Coach know all that?’ But it’s because he’d probably been up half the night watching ilm. “We (as players) had an incredible healthy respect for him. We all had impersonations of him, but we’d never do them around him. We just had an incredible amount of respect.” No matter how good the team had been the previous year, every preseason at Germantown centered on two things and two things only — blocking and tackling. Germantown’s run-based ofense was simple — ive passes

a game would be considered a lot — but very hard to stop because Netherland made sure his teams executed the basics to perfection. “He had a way of making things simple,” said Hill. “You know how as a young coach you just want to draw up everything perfect, but he’d always say, ‘You don’t have to beat the other coach; you just have to beat their kids.’ And he was kind of ‘Oh sure, aw shucks,’ but the man could write an encyclopedia on option football.” And on ine dining establishments throughout the Shelby-Metro area. “He’d always be at the Steak and Egg (Kitchen) in Germantown after the game,” said O’Neill. “We’d all go out after the game, but we knew that he and the coaches would be at the Steak and Egg, rehashing everything. Always good natured.” Added Hill, “He knew more hole-in-the-wall places to eat than anyone. I think he knew every place within 200 miles, the best barbecue joints, which days of the week to go. He’d come by in the car and say, ‘Hop in, we’re going to eat.’ And you’d be gone for an hour. He was a lot of fun on road trips.

“And he was hilarious. He was one of the funniest people. ... He could turn a bad moment into a funny moment and that’s why the kids just loved him. He was a ierce competitor, but he had that ability.” Those competitive ires were still burning after Netherland left Germantown following the 2002 season and became somewhat of a specialist in building programs from scratch. St. George’s played a varsity schedule for the irst time in 2005, but two years later Netherland had taken the Gryphons to the Division 2-A state championship. It was also at St. George’s where he set the state record for career victories with a 16-10 overtime victory over Southern Baptist Educational Center on Sept. 23, 2010. That was the 356th of his career. Netherland took over at Lausanne in 2011, guiding the Lynx through a couple of junior varsity seasons before they made their varsity debut last fall, going 6-3. Netherland is survived by his wife, Sharon, and two children, Ken Jr. and Kelly. The funeral will be at 1 p.m. Thursday at Germantown Baptist Church.

want to move away from Germantown know there are a plethora of buyers. When things were less certain, before the Germantown Municipal School District created its open enrollment policy or its agreement with Collierville Municipal School District oicials to their let residents stay at Houston Middle and Houston High School, some families found themselves wondering if they should pick up and move. Crye-Leike Realtor Stacia Rosatti said she knew of one family who had a child with special needs who moved from Collierville to Germantown to ensure they could stay in their school. “They made a move to make sure they were squarely in the district,” Rosatti said. Overall, Rosatti said she isn’t sure how much the municipal district has afected the market to this point, any more than the usual summer lurry of home buying. “They’re wanting to get settled before school starts,” she said. “That’s just kind of typical.” Rosatti said people have always been attracted to Germantown for the quality of the schools, no matter which district controlled them. The attraction now, Gibson said, is the idea of local control. With the rosters nearing completion for each school, only a couple hundred kids, out of thousands who were originally in limbo, were declined a transfer into the schools. Gibson said moving is still an option for any of them who are determined to attend a Germantown school. As for those who moved from areas like Cordova, Collierville or Memphis who may not have had to, Gibson said she thinks they will still be happy with their decision. “I think Germantown’s a great place to live,” she said. “I think that they’ll be pleased long-term that they did that.”

HOUSING BY THE NUMBERS

strong suburban sales lead recovery as city loses population, tax base By Jennifer Backer jbacker@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2742

While Memphis-area home sales have gained traction in the past four years, the strongest growth is in the city’s suburbs, leaving the older core trailing the housing recovery. Over the last four years, Collierville, Lakeland, Bartlett, Millington, Germantown and Cordova have led the housing recovery, according to The Commercial Appeal’s analysis of data from the Memphis Area Association of Realtors. Memphis-area home sales climbed 34.3 percent to 7,429 sales for the sixmonth period ended June 30, compared to the same period in 2011, when the local market reached a seven-year low. During that same period, Collierville’s 65-percent growth, Lakeland’s 60-percent growth,

Bartlett’s 58 percent, Millington’s 46 percent, Germantown’s 43 percent and Cordova’s 41.6 percent far outpaced the overall region. In contrast, Memphis’ Midtown district rose 16 percent, while Downtown increased 19 percent. The suburban housing recovery comes as Memphis proper loses population and tax base, raising concerns the city could falter unless more people move in. “We can’t lose people in the city and continue to try to recruit companies and make progress,” said Dexter Muller, senior vice president of the Greater Memphis Chamber. Speaking to the Memphis Rotary Club at the University Club on June 17, Muller noted Memphis employers have 35,000 fewer employees than in 2007. At the same time, Memphis’ population is dropping by about 2,000 people a year, he said.

Muller said executives considering expanding or moving to Memphis need assurance that the city can fund infrastructure like sewers, roads and amenities like parks that will support workers. And those projects need a strong local tax base, he said. “If we don’t get our iscal house in order in the city, that could be the anchor that really brings us down, ” Mueller said. Faced with a deep shortfall in the municipal pension fund, Mayor A C Wharton proposed municipal employees and retirees shoulder larger health-insurance bills as a way to free up cash for the pension fund. But those reform proposals have touched of a confrontation with police and ireighters. While the city grapples with the political issues, the Memphis housing market continues to trail the suburbs. That has hap-

pened despite a $3 billion wave of industrial and commercial investment since 2010 within the city limits. Urban scholar Marcus Pohlmann of Rhodes College said factors limiting the city’s housing market appear to be value, schools and crime. “Crime is always one of the driving factors,” said Pohlmann, who has written books about race, politics and education. “People also might be going back to the notion that they can get more house for their money in the suburbs.” Gloria Strawn, a real estate agent with Century 21 Maselle and Associates, said job growth is attracting buyers and keeping “the market moving in outlying towns but especially Germantown and Collierville.” Also helping are new highways linking the outlying suburbs to the older cities such as Millington. Meanwhile, the

Freedom Cyclers Four crossing the u.s. to help ight against human traicking By Hannah Bailey hannah.bailey@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2380

A group of four young men, clad head-to-toe in serious biking gear, stopped at the Downtown Memphis Visitor’s Center last Saturday afternoon and posed for a photo at the Tennessee state sign. Calling themselves the Freedom Cyclers, the guys are cycling across the U.S., raising money and awareness for human traicking, and stopped in Memphis along the way. All four are 21-year-old seniors at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. Two of them — Jason Elliott and Matthew “Matt Dawg” Roelofs — are from Cordova, Taylor Carlisle is from Memphis and Jef Maier is from Knoxville. The idea originated from Elliott, who said he was inspired by two high school friends at

Memphis University School who biked across the U.S. to raise money for Haiti. “Ever since then I thought, ‘That’s something I want to do’,” he said. He began planning in March with Maier, and the other two hopped on board. They are raising money for three organizations that aim to reduce human traicking: The Mekong Club based in Southeast Asia, ONEless Ministries out of Nashville, and Community Coalition Against Human Traicking in Knoxville. The four set out from Los Angeles June 11 with the goal to reach Savannah, Georgia, by July 25. Behind them is a support vehicle to make sure they don’t get hit by vehicles, and, added Maier, “to make everyone mad because they drive so slow.” They ride down back highways. So far on their adventure, the friends have cruised through the Mojave Desert, Grand Canyon, Rocky Mountains, Hoover Dam, Ozarks, Las Vegas and went white-water rafting in Colorado. While in Las Vegas, Maier won $60 at a casino, which he

promptly donated to their fundraising cause. “I put $20 down at a table, and said ‘only playing one hand’ and I won,” he said. The Freedom Cyclers are dedicated, going to bed early and awakening most days by 5 or 5:30 a.m. “We are taking an extra rest day tomorrow, because we made up a day in Kansas. We are right on schedule basically,” Maier said. The only experienced biker of the group is Elliott. The others dove into the cross-country ride with little to no experience. “You get used to it. In the beginning it was deinitely rough. A lot of sore butts, and legs stay in a constant state of soreness,” Maier said. “And cramping,” Roelofs said. They have a website, a blog with regular posts including videos, a Facebook page, Twitter account, Instagram account and a page for donations on gofundme.com. By last Saturday, they’d raised $6,151. Their original goal was to raise $40,000, but Elliott said over the course of the trip he’s realized money isn’t necessarily the goal.

SEX SLAVERY FACTS ■ The black-market business of buying and selling humans for slavery is the second most proitable crime in the world, generating $32 billion per year, $87 million per day, and $1,000 per hour, according to the United nations. ■ Worldwide, there are 2 million children in the commercial sex trade, according to U.n.i.C.e.F. ■ about 80 percent of humantraicking victims are women and girls, and 50 percent are minors, according to the U.S. Department of State. ■ an estimated two children are sold internationally every minute, according to love146, an organization that seeks to end child traicking.

“This issue isn’t going to be stopped by just raising money. It’s a $32 billion industry, and it won’t be stopped until enough people igure out it’s a real problem,” he said.

in memoriam

‘Geo’ Holmes was major influence with film, video By John Beifuss beifuss@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2394

To family and friends, George Holmes IV was known as Geo, pronounced “Joe.” The folksy nickname with the distinctive spelling was appropriate. Mr. Holmes — killed Sunday when he was struck by a train near his Germantown home — was unpretentious and friendly yet

hardly an average Joe. His unusual talents made him one of the most honored and in-demand ilm-andvideo producers in the region, with a client roster that included FedEx, King Cotton, International Paper and CBS Sports. “He had an amazing eye, and was a very gifted shooter,” said freelance Memphis producer-director Joe Mulherin. As a studio owner for 30 years, Mr. Holmes, 59, was a beloved

mentor to succeeding generations of photographers, editors, sound designers and other artists and technicians. At the time of his death, he was president of Beale Street Studios at 526 Beale, across the street from the historic Hunt-Phelan Home. It was his third video production facility, following 35 Park, a studio built inside the old Park movie theater near the southeast corner of Park

and Highland, and Producers Service at Hollywood and Broad. According to Germantown police, Mr. Holmes was struck and killed by a westbound train while he was jogging on railroad tracks near 7648 Southern. A conductor told the police he sounded the horn “multiple times” and applied the emergency brake, but Mr. Holmes did not respond, apparently because he was wearing

earbud-style headphones and listening to music. Mr. Holmes also leaves his father, George Holmes III of Germantown; and three sisters, Andrea Holmes Lugar of Eads; Heather Holmes Andersen of Orinda, California; and Jan Holmes Crosby of Colorado Springs. A memorial service will be 2:30 p.m. Saturday at Germantown Presbyterian Church, with a reception to follow.

In a work session July 9, the Germantown Municipal School Board outlined a basic dress code and discussed whether suspended teachers should receive pay. The board also made minor revisions to already passed policies, such having two ire drills in the irst 30 days of school instead of the irst 15. The dress code at all ive schools will remain the same as what each school had with Shelby County Schools last year, including a stricter dress policy at Farmington Elementary. Supt. Jason Manuel said the most common issue in the last few years has been girls wearing leggings as outerwear. The district’s policy allows leggings to be worn under dresses or tunics as long as they provide suicient coverage. Board member Mark Dely said the issue is one that can be developed with the input of the community. The basic policy will be up for a vote Monday. Director of operations Joshua Cathey said the Shelby County policy was often vague, especially when it came to hair color. The basic policy separates elementary students from middle and high school students, but all are prohibited from wearing athletic shorts, hats, midrifs, or overly short dresses, skirts or shorts. On whether to pay teachers who are suspended, the board discussed seeking an oicial legal opinion from the district attorney, but considered an option to let the superintendent have discretion about whether pay is warranted. Dely said if the board doesn’t give the power to the superintendent to decide, he would lean toward giving no one their pay. If an employee is cleared of any wrong doing, he or she would receive back pay. The board also debated whether to limit the amount of money an individual student could spend on a gift for a teacher to eliminate the possibility a teacher would feel inluenced by an expensive gift. The discussion supported not putting a cap on gifts, but keeping a policy that allows for “token” gifts. “Until it’s really an issue, I think we should just leave it as ‘token,’” board member Linda Fisher said.

Pets METHODIST LE BONHEUR GERMANTOWN

Therapy animals quietly ofer comfort to patients By Jennifer Pignolet pignolet@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2372

Nestle’s not your average hospital visitor. Not even your average therapy animal that visits hospitals. She has four legs and a soft muzzle, but she eyes plants like they’re snacks and can’t be trusted to walk down a sterile hallway. But the reaction from patients when they see the Sicilian miniature donkey is unparalleled, her owner says. Kids “all smile, no matter if they’re afraid,” said Debb Taylor of Arlington. One man at a senior living facility held Nestle’s head in his lap for 10 minutes, she said, placing his own

head on top of hers. “You get mixed reactions,” Taylor said. “But most of them think she’s pretty special.” Taylor took Nestle to Methodist Le Bonheur Germantown Hospital on July 8 for one of the 6-year-old donkey’s irst visits since she had a baby in December. Taylor and Nestle are part of Mid South Therapy Dogs and Friends, whose members visit patients in several hospitals in the region. A small crowd collected around Nestle and two dogs outside the maternity center at the Germantown hospital. Keith Payne, of Memphis, was at the hospital overnight while his wife waits to give birth, and

had ventured outside for a quick break. He had a lot of questions for Taylor about donkeys, horses and even zebras. “I’ve never seen (a donkey) except on the movies,” he said. Memphis resident Lenzell Clark, 9, and his sister Laila Jones, 2, stopped to pet the donkey as they passed the area. “It’s awesome!” Lenzell said. Hospital CEO William Kenley got a picture with the donkey, joking that he was sure there would be “some future use” for it. “It makes a big diference in the lives of not just our patients, but our staf as well,” Kenley said of the animal visits. “Really this its taking care of the total patient and the total family.”

‘Halftime Huddle’ lowers adoption fees By Katie Pemberton Special to The Weekly

The Humane Society of Memphis & Shelby County will host the “HSMSC Halftime Huddle” at its facility on Saturday ofering dog and cat adoptions for just $20 and staying open from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. The “HSMSC Halftime Huddle” $20 adoption event falls approximately halfway through the ASPCA Rachael Ray $100K Challenge, which runs from June 1 through Aug. 31. HSMSC will compete against 50 other shelters nationwide for grant funding and has chosen “Team Up with the Humane Society” as its theme for the three-month challenge period. Participating shelters are tasked with increasing adoptions by at least 300 more than the same three-month period during the previous year and getting their communities involved. “So far we’ve done about a 75 percent in-

crease in our adoptions since June 1, but we still need to grow that number to hit our goal of at least 657 adoptions for June, July, and August,” said Alexis Amorose, executive director of the Humane Society. “We invite you to team up to help us meet our goal by adopting at our Halftime Huddle $20 adoption event!” For more information, visit www.memphishumane.org, call 901- 9373900 or visit the facility at 935 Farm Road. The reduced adoption fee applies to approved adopters only who have completed an adoption application and passed all screening processes. The regular adoption fee varies from $75 to $150. The Humane Society will also ofer $50 adoptions every Wednesday during the challenge period of June 1 through Aug. 31. Katie Pemberton is the PR and marketing specialist for the Humane Society.

Therapy dog to help Marine keep demons of war at bay

GERMANTOWN ANIMAL SHELTER

A.J. Courteau was surprised last Thursday when his family brought him to Duck Hill Kennels in Somerville to meet his new companion, Lucy. Trainer Sarah Garner introduced Courteau to Lucy.

By Bryan Brasher brasher@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2343

SOMERVILLE, Tenn. — As a veteran of the United States Marine Corps who did tours in Afghanistan and Iraq, Pennsylvania native A.J. Courteau has experienced his share of surprises. As you can imagine, some of them were bad. But the one he received Thursday, a 12-week-old black Lab puppy named Lucy, was a good one — and she just might be able to help Courteau put some of the bad behind him. Like many war veterans, Courteau sufers from post-traumatic stress disorder. His doctor back home believes a therapy dog could aid greatly in his recovery, and young Lucy will now take on the role. “When my family told me we would be driving 14 hours down here to go to Graceland, I kind of knew something was up,” said Courteau, a big Elvis fan who made the trip here with his mother, Patty, and his father, Al. “But I had no idea what it was. I was overwhelmed when I found out I was getting this dog.” When a therapy dog was irst suggested, Courteau’s father called his friend and fellow Pennsylvania native Ken Blackman to see if he had a Lab puppy that would be right for the job. “I told them I didn’t have one,” said Blackman, a retired dog trainer from Wolf River Kennels who now lives in Williston, Ten-

PETS OF THE WEEK

nessee, in Fayette County. “But I knew someone who might.” Blackman called Robert Milner — one of the leading dog trainers in the country and the owner of DuckHill Kennels in Somerville — and Milner said come on down. “Anybody who wants to go over there and take bullets for me, I owe them,” said Milner, who served 26 years, active and reserve, in the Air Force. “I appreciate these guys. They’re allowing me the privilege of running this business.” Milner, who helped the Memphis Fire Department rework its canine disaster-detection program after the Sept. 11 attacks, doesn’t operate a typical dog-training operation. One of the irst things people see when they drive up to his kennel is a military-style obstacle course with rope bridges, rock piles and other distractions young dogs must navigate before receiving their food. He routinely has more than 100 puppies on site, and it’s nothing unusual to hear the movie “Saving Private Ryan” blaring over loud speakers to condition the dogs to chaotic surroundings. Many of the dogs raised and trained at DuckHill Kennels will someday serve active military duty overseas or work in bomb and

weapons detection in the United States. So in some ways, the petite young pup Courteau received Thursday is almost like a fellow soldier. “I’ve owned a lot of dogs in the past, but most of them were dogs we rescued from various situations,” said Courteau, 28. “This is a diferent sort of dog. When I irst picked her up, she just laid back in my arms, gentle as can be. I think she’ll be fantastic.” The U.S. Department of Veterans Afairs estimates that as many as 20 percent of soldiers who served in Afghanistan and/or Iraq have returned home with PTSD. Courteau didn’t speak speciically about his symptoms. But according to the National Institute of Mental Health, symptoms of PTSD can sometimes include crippling lashbacks, nightmares, insomnia, frightening thoughts and avoidance of anyone or anything that might trigger the symptoms. So how can Lucy help? “My girlfriend, Libby, doesn’t live with me right now,” said Courteau, who is attending school at Mercyhurst in Pennsylvania. “So just having a companion, especially a dog of this caliber, I think it’ll be good for me in ways I probably haven’t even thought of yet.

Tennessee Shakespeare Company wins $25,000 grant By Dan McCleary Special to The Weekly

Members with Arts Midwest recently named Tennessee Shakespeare Company as one of just 40 theatre companies in the United States to receive its prestigious Shakespeare in American Communities grant for TSC’s innovative Romeo and Juliet Project. This is the second consecutive year TSC has been awarded the grant as the youngest organization of the 40 theatres selected. The grant is for $25,000, which TSC must match through private donations. These awards mark the 12th consecutive year of Shakespeare in American Communities, a national program managed by Arts Midwest in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts. The program introduces middle and high school students to the power of live theatre and the masterpieces of William Shakespeare. Since the program’s inception in 2003, Shakespeare

in American Communities has beneitted more than 2.25 million people, including 1.9 million students, with live performances and educational activities. Among the other 39 theatre companies selected for 2014-15: American Shakespeare Festival, Actors Theatre of Louisville, Barter Theatre, Cincinnati Shakespeare Company, Classic Stage Company, Folger Theatre, Guthrie Theater, San Francisco Shakespeare Festival, Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey, and Utah Shakespeare Festival. A full list of recipients may be found at shakespeareinamericancommunities.org. TSC is being awarded the matching grant again this year to continue its life-changing, grade-raising Romeo and Juliet Project at Bartlett, Washington, Carver, Kirby and Ridgeway high schools. The project, designed and managed by TSC education director Stephanie Shine, will visit the entire ninth-grade classes in all

ive schools four times, including three progressive playshops culminating in an interactive, intimate, in-school performance of Romeo and Juliet. The production will highlight the pivotal decisions made in the play by both children and adults that lead to the deaths of ive extraordinary teenagers — decisions that Mem-

phis adults and teens can change in their own lives to help shift the culture of violence in our community. TSC’s teaching actors and students are challenged to look past the beautiied veil of romantic love often associated

with the play. The play’s prologue communicates something very diferent — children will die and the audience will witness how each character chooses actions that permit it. The students are further challenged to see themselves

in the storytelling, and afterward, to articulate for themselves how they could help change this same story in their own lives. Last season, the The Romeo and Juliet Project was immersed in four schools with an additional 19 schools participating in the full production of the play and talk-back. Nearly 450 student activities were achieved through the Project last season, exceeding 6,300 student interactions. This year, the production of Romeo and Juliet will play inside each participating school, and it also will be available for booking by all schools in Shelby County. To book the touring production of Romeo and Juliet, call TSC’s education program manager Slade Kyle at 901759-0620. Dan McCleary is the founder and producing artistic director for the Tennessee Shakespeare Company.

Sassiness requires a ix beyond ‘time out’ By John Rosemond MCT Information Services

“sassiness” that Q The I have heard so much

PHOTOS BY LAURIE SKRIVAN/ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH

KeYanna Roddy plays with her son, Byron, in St. Louis. Because of many medications from his open-heart surgery, Byron can go through 10-15 diapers a day, putting a strain on Roddy’s limited budget.

Physical, emotional KeYanna Roddy relies on donated diapers from a help agency as well as family and friends for her son, Byron in St. Louis.

SETBACKS Low-income parents battle to meet diaper needs By Nancy Cambria St. Louis Post-Dispatch

ST. LOUIS — They are such a hot commodity, pharmacies and stores sometimes keep them behind glass. They are the irst line of defense against infection and disease — and are even linked to preventing depression and violence. Desperate people will sometimes steal to get them. No, this is not a story about illicit pills or drug abuse. It’s about disposable diapers, an item the poor need desperately. Researchers are starting to realize “diaper need” not only causes obvious health problems for children, but leads to depression in moms and poor social and developmental outcomes for the child — even child abuse. It is estimated that disposable diapers can cost up to $100 a month for one baby. On average, a newborn goes through eight to 10 diapers a day, said Melinda Ohlemiller, CEO of Nurses for Newborns. Nurses with the organization see the diaper need irsthand with their clients but can ofer minimal help. To provide diapers for their poor clients, Ohlemiller said, the organization would need 8,000 to 10,000 diapers a day. But the agency can supply only about

12 diapers to established clients on an emergency basis. One of its clients, Catalina Martinez, of Overland, Missouri, said she was unable to work after having her second child. It’s been diicult to aford diapers for a newborn and a toddler on her boyfriend’s salary. She’s had to keep a diaper on her child longer than she should. “I even have tried to get my oldest one to potty train. But she wouldn’t train yet.”

A CRITICAL NEED Last summer a study in the medical journal Pediatrics identified “diaper need” among the poor as a growing health and psychological risk for babies and their mothers. The study determined that as many as 30 percent of poor parents in New Haven, Connecticut, struggled to aford diapers for their infants. It further linked diaper need as a factor causing maternal depression, which can also lead to poor outcomes for children. “There’s just a great need, and no one is calling attention to this,” said DiAnne Mueller, CEO of Crisis Nursery, a St. Louisarea child abuse prevention agency. Crisis Nursery workers sometimes go door-to-door in poor neighborhoods asking peo-

“They’re taking diapers that are clearly too small and taping them together and using whatever they can.”

KeYanna Roddy changes her son’s diapers. Disposable diapers can cost as much as $100 per month for one baby.

ple what they need. The answer is almost always the same: diapers and formula. Although formula purchases can be federally subsidized, diapers are not covered by food stamps through the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program or the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children, known as WIC. As a result, some food pantries are inundated with requests for disposable diapers. But the pantries don’t get steady do-

nations of them and don’t always have them on the shelves. When they do, they ly out of the door, said Marcia Mermelstein, coordinator of the Harvey Kornblum Jewish Food Pantry in St. Louis. “We’re giving people four to six diapers when in reality when most people buy a box of diapers, they’re getting 24 or 48. It’s like giving one tiny bar of soap a month. It’s not enough, it’s a token gesture,” Mermelstein said. Families will take what they can get, she said.

DIAPER BANKS Although charitable agencies see the diaper need, they can’t make collecting and distributing diapers their irst priority because it takes away energy and donations from their main services. “Yes, we need diapers,” Mermelstein said. “But in the great scheme of things, we are a food pantry and the highest priority is to give food for survival.” Some cities and regions have developed thriving diaper banks that collect and promote donated diapers and act as a clearinghouse to agencies like food pantries and community outreach centers. According to the National Diaper Bank Network in Connecticut, about 100 established diaper banks operate nationwide. Happy Bottoms in Kansas City, Missouri, for example, has distributed more than 1.5 million diapers to agencies that work with the poor. Jessica Adams, a social worker, said she has iled the 501(c) paperwork for the St. Louis Area Diaper Bank and hopes to begin taking donations and making partnerships with agencies soon.

about from my friends started a few months ago with my 5-year-old daughter. She will say things to me that I actually ind myself tongue-tied on how or what to say to correct her. Sometimes, she apologizes, which tells me she knows she’s talking disrespectfully to me. What do you think about 10 minutes of time out for this sort of thing? Also, on a recent vacation with another family in which there are two other girls around the same age, my daughter became very competitive. She constantly wanted to “race” to see who would be irst, for example. Is this normal for this age?

take it your friends A Ithink sassiness is

normal for this age child. That may be true today, but sassiness was far from the norm two-plus generations ago. Furthermore, there are still a considerable number of kids this age who are very respectful of adults. It is certainly true that television and electronics in general have altered the behavior of children. Too many of today’s kids, from relatively early on, pick up a very inappropriate manner of talking to adults from characters on television sitcoms. After all, this sassy manner of addressing and responding to adults is almost always followed by the laugh track. This is one of several reasons why I am completely opposed to allowing young children any exposure to television outside of educational programs. But even without the toxicity of supposedly family fare on television, young kids often pick up sassiness from friends. When she was 8, my daughter had a friend in the neighborhood who talked to her mother like she was a servant or a peer. Amy would sometimes come home from said friend’s house using the same tone with us. When this happened — and without giving her a warning — we would conine Amy to her room for the rest of the day. That curtailed her loose tongue rather quickly. I seriously doubt that 10 minutes of time out is going to do the trick. If you want this to stop, and you certainly should, then you need to make an impression on your daughter. I recommend the “Amy Cure.” As for the competition thing, I strongly encourage you not to give it a second thought. Kids work these sorts of things out among themselves.

Beach ofers time for talk and dreams away from hectic life As mandated by my membership in Club Memphis, I loaded up the van and drove to the panhandle of Florida for a week this summer. It’s an annual drive that can take anywhere from eight to 11 hours. This year, it was unbearably the latter. I don’t mind most of the drive too much. For me, the vacation begins in that van. Where the kids used to complain and whine, they now sit still, (mostly) silent and mesmerized by the glow of the screen on their hand-held devices. With the kids strapped in and unable to move about the cabin, and with my only responsibility, great as it is, to deliver them all safely to the beaches of South Walton County, it frees my mind to wander. For 11 hours I was able to dwell within my own thoughts. Well, 10 hours. That last hour was spent thinking, “Why is this taking so long?” As with the start of any road

RICHARD J. ALLEY BECAUSE I SAID SO

trip, my irst thoughts turn to this: these kids are whiling away the hours watching movies on handheld devices. Do they even realize their good fortune to watch “Frozen” again and again as Alabama whisks past? Do they know that I spent hours on the road as a kid wishing for just such a device? My sisters and I dreamed of a day in the future — far in the future, the 21st century — when we might be able to watch our favorite television programs as the distance dwindled. Instead, we read books and doodled, stared out the windows and napped. And we argued, which is the one holdover of childhood from the

last century to this. But the focus of our week this summer wasn’t all electronic devices and self-absorption. Once we hit the emerald green waters and sugar white sand of Blue Mountain Beach, we gave ourselves over to relaxation and socialization. Attention turned to family as my sister, her husband and their kids arrived to join us. We bobbed in those waters as a family out beyond the second sandbar, the current carrying us lazily to the east and the sun dazzling our eyes. The kids asked questions and we answered honestly and openly as our feet grazed the sandy loor below. We spoke of hopes and dreams in a way that we just aren’t able during our day-to-day lives with their schedules and demands. This is what vacation is all about. This suspension of reality, the suspension of gravity and the time to just loat in each other’s company. Those moments are worth the hectic days throughout

the rest of the year. Those saltwater conversations are worth every minute of the very long drive. I’m already looking forward to putting my feet in the sea again. I’m ready for next year and the renewal that can only be had from a long drive, quality family time,

Disney ilms on the go, and the water. Richard J. Alley is the father of two boys and two girls. Read more from him at richardalley.com. Become a fan of “Because I Said So” on Facebook: facebook.com/ alleygreenberg.

Students, faculty follow call to Ecuador on mission trips

Bertram takes part in Gov’s School

By Beth Rooks Special to The Weekly

This summer, Briarcrest had more than 30 students and faculty travel to Ecuador on two diferent shortterm mission trips. The teams went to work alongside Jungle Kids for Christ, an organization that strives to show local children God’s love and the gospel message through Christian education and community involvement.

The students participated in construction projects to help expand the school in the jungle and host a vacation Bible school and sports camp for area children. The children also heard the testimonies of many missionaries and participated in end-of-year events with the school’s families. These short-term mission trips are part of our ongoing partnership with Jungle Kids for Christ.

The relationship between Briarcrest and JKC has strengthened in recent years. The school supports the organization in several ways including student sponsorships, providing school uniforms and sending short-term teams. It is a wonderful blessing to have Briarcrest students “on the ground” with this ministry each summer. Those that went were able to be the “hands and feet of Jesus” to chil-

ture trips as we strive to fulill the great commission by taking the gospel to all nations — speciically in the jungle of Ecuador.
