Holiday kickof Hundreds gather at Municipal Park for tree lighting

By Craig Collier Special to The Weekly

Thanksgiving weekend is the oicial kickof to the holiday season. For many Americans, the long weekend is a time to celebrate traditions that date back for decades as families and friends gather together. And then there’s the food and the shopping.

On Nov. 28, the City of Germantown kept alive a decades-long tradition by staging the annual holiday tree lighting ceremony. With Municipal Park Lake providing a splendid background, the Germantown Community Chorus sang holiday songs as families gathered around the Germantown Christmas tree.

At precisely 5:30 p.m. Mayor Sharon Goldsworthy stepped forward, with microphone in hand, thanked all those in attendance for coming out and spent a few moments reminiscing about this year’s tree lighting See HOLIDAY, 10

Three-year-old Emily Davis’ eyes were illed with excitement when it was her turn to sit on Santa’s lap.

The Collierville Parks, Recreation & Cultural Arts Department was the recipient of a Four Star Award presented by the Tennessee Recreation and Parks Association at the recent awards banquet at Titan Stadium in Nashville.

The award was presented for “Excellence in Parks and Recreation Marketing Campaign,” for the successful and well-received “Live Life Local 38017” program initiated by the Collierville Tourism Advisory Commission and Collierville Parks, Recreation & Cultural Arts Department.

The campaign focus was to highlight opportunities for Collierville residents and “to keep our citizens in Collierville and spend their time and discretionary income right here in their hometown,” said Sheila Moody, special events coordinator. “‘Live Life Local’ is a winwin campaign as it not only helps our local economy and local businesses, but it is also added revenue sources for the town’s newly established school system,” Moody added.

Collierville’s winning campaign was acknowledged as the best comprehensive and impactful marketing campaign. In addition to an ads tourism-styled directories, the creative strategy featured a narrative with Town photos, shopping venues and local entertainment. “Live Life Local” bumper stickers and T-shirts were part of the campaign.

On Nov. 20, ifth-graders at the Ridge Lake campus of Evangelical Christian School provided an unusual learning experience for other Spanish classes.

In order to help younger students apply their Spanish vocabulary, the ifth-graders hosted a “Supermercado,” or Spanish Market.

To purchase items in the market, students from junior kindergarten through fourth grade were required to say, in Spanish, the name of the item they wanted to purchase.

With options ranging from bananas to Hershey’s kisses, students enjoyed applying the words they have learned during regular Spanish class in this engaging new venue.

The ifth-grade entrepreneurs did not make a inancial proit, but certainly gained marketplace experience as they helped younger students apply learning to real world experience.

Gracie Stevenson, the ECS Spanish teacher, spearheaded the market lesson and was thrilled to ofer such an engaging learning experience to her students.

In the News MEMPHIS

Red-light cameras exceed expectations Raised more than $4.5M since 2009

By Jody Callahan callahan@commercialappeal.com 901-529-6531

As Sam Gottlieb was heading home from school one afternoon, the traic signal at Poplar and Highland changed from yellow to red.

Gottlieb was sure he’d made it through in time. About a month later, he got a letter from the city

informing him that he hadn’t and included a picture to prove it. Thanks to that photo, the White Station High senior had to cough up $50 to pay the ine.

“I was almost all the way over the line and it turned from yellow to red. My back tire was on the line and it issued the ticket,” Gottlieb said. “It wasn’t even the whole tire. It was the back half of the tire that was on the lane.

It was kind of close.”

Gottlieb’s story is likely a common one since the city of Memphis contracted with

Germantown police report

American Traic Solutions to install the cameras, which began photographing violators in November 2009.

Since those first citations were mailed, a total of 279,407 tickets had been issued through late October, according to City Court Clerk Thomas Long’s ofice. Of that tally, roughly 70 percent have been paid, said Jason Norton, an ATS vice president.

Some of the unpaid tickets are still being adjudicated, Norton said, while others simply haven’t

been paid. Failure to pay can lead to additional fees, but the tickets do not lead to points on a license that can lead to suspension.

Those citations have raised $10,802,386.19, according to the city court clerk, although not all of that goes to the city.

ATS installs and maintains the cameras but the city pays for them through a bank loan.

The cost of the loans as well as the ATS monthly fee of $2,100 took $6,210,022.77 of the money raised.

That left the city with a

gross of $4,592,363.42, or about $900,000 per year from the camera program. Of that money, about $3.4 million remains in the general fund, restricted for the outlined uses, city Finance Director Brian Collins said.

“The primary purpose was to save lives and reduce accidents.

The money is icing on the cake,” said City Council member Myron Lowery, a strong advocate for the program. “(People) are much safer drivers when they know the cameras are at the intersections.”

John and Deloris Clark of Bartlett prepared to board an Amtrak train at Central Station recently as they headed to Jackson, Miss. This month, the Memphis City Council passed a resolution to support expanding Amtrak service to include a route to Carbondale, Ill.

More aboard Support growing to add Amtrak route in Memphis

By Linda A. Moore lmoore@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2702

I

n 1914, Memphis’ Central Station opened on South Main Street boasting 10 train tracks and an eight-story building with an emergency hospital.

The facility was “state-of-the-art” and the opening was as big an event as any new, modern-day airport, said Bill Strong, director of the Memphis Railroad and Trolley Museum located at the station.

“It had some modern features that previous terminals didn’t have,” Strong said. “In fact there is an underground tunnel at Central Station that enabled the baggage carts to travel from one end of the train to the other end of the train underground.

Therefore, it didn’t interfere with passengers as they were walking to get on the train.”

The past century saw the surge and the decline of rail travel at the station now served by Amtrak’s City of New Orleans route. Two trains leave Memphis daily with a late evening departure north to Chicago and an early morning departure south to the Big Easy.

Last month the Memphis City Council approved a resolution to support the expansion of Amtrak services in Memphis, with a train to Carbondale, Illinois, that would double traic on the MemphisChicago section, two arrivals and two departures at Memphis.

Similar resolutions are expected from the Shelby County Commission, and along the route in Newbern, Tennessee, and Fulton, Kentucky.

With approvals required by three states as well, the resolutions are the irst steps in the process to increase rail travel from Memphis.

“What I think is that citizens need choices,” said Councilman Myron Lowery, the sponsor of the council’s resolution. “And with traic decreasing at the airport, I think anything we can do will help the transportation engine in this community.”

County Commissioner Mark Billingsley intends to sponsor a resolution for the commission in December.

“I decided it would be a stronger sell if we spoke as one voice, as Memphis and Shelby County,” said

Billingsley, adding that it was the responsibility of local government to help bring in new visitors and provide opportunities for citizens, he said.

Once he started talking about the route, he was surprised at how many people travel to Carbondale. “It’s got all the ingredients to be successful,” Billingsley said.

Passenger numbers have been increasing.

Amtrak reports that in 2011 65,769 riders boarded in Memphis, a number that rose to 73,116 in 2012 and to 76,171 in 2013.

The local resolutions only begin the process, said Marc Magliari, Amtrak spokesman.

In 2008, Congress passed the Passenger Rail Investment and Improvement Act, which says states are responsible for inancing routes that are shorter than 750 miles, Magliari said. “So Congress put states in the driver’s seat.”

The states will contract with Amtrak to study ridership projections and the costs of any needed improvements, Magliari said. Once the states have a plan in place, they can then ask for federal money to cover the costs.

“The good news: The route is already good for passenger trains,” he said.

And since the Memphis Area Transit Authority owns and has renovated the Central Station, there is a nice waiting room in a growing part of Memphis, Magliari said.

On a recent cold morning, both irst-time and longtime train passengers were happy to learn of a possible new route.

“That’s very exciting,” said Marnicia Coleman of Whitehaven, who was traveling to New Orleans to board a cruise ship to Mexico. “We probably wouldn’t do as much lying.”

Marnita Vaughn, Coleman’s cousin and part of the group headed for Mexico, agreed. “It would be nice to experience something new and diferent,” said Vaughn, also from Whitehaven.

Both women had never ridden the train.

Mike Page of Millington is a frequent rider. “I think it sounds great, especially with the economy being so bad and the price of airline tickets going up,” said Page, who was en route to New Orleans for his parents’ 60th wedding anniversary. “It might take a bit longer (than lying), but all you’re doing is sleeping.”

Adding the new route would give the Central Station a daytime departure, just as airlines “abandon Memphis,” Strong said. “I think it would be wonderful,” he said.

Trip Trezevant would like very much to see a man about a horse.

Speciically, he would like to see the man — or woman — responsible for the theft of his horse statue, one of the 20 or so lifesize pieces of equestrian artwork that are scattered around Germantown.

The statue, which was bolted to a slab of concrete in front of Millstone Nursery, was discovered missing the morning of Nov. 22.

Trezevant is now launching a campaign to get her back. Yes, “her.”

Trezevant, who owns commercial real estate company Trezevant Enterprises, Inc., is taking advantage of his resources to spread the word.

Three of the company’s electronic billboards with the picture of the horse (her name is Phloxy) have already gone up around Memphis. Two can be seen from either direction on I-240 near Perkins, and another is on the I-40 loop. Trezevant purchased two of the horses at auction.

Phloxy was worth $4,250 at the time, but Trezevant said she’s been invaluable as a marketing tool and a cornerstone of the business.

The horse, with her head bent over and her back painted with large yellow daffodils, stood outside the gate at Millstone Nursery.

Whoever removed her in the middle of the night was unable to lift the concrete slab, and broke of part of at least one of Phloxy’s hooves in the process.

Let’s hear it for the 99 percent Most young people stay out of trouble The 99 percent are at it again.

Last week, they held a disc golf tournament to raise funds to help a classmate who has leukemia.

Last Saturday, they marched from their school to a nearby home to help a child recovering from a rare illness celebrate his irst birthday.

Who knows what other acts of kindness and compassion they all committed during Thanksgiving week — a perfect time to give thanks for the 99 percent.

That’s the percentage of young people ages 1524 in Shelby County who are not being arrested for violent crimes in any given year.

We hear too much about youth violence, not nearly enough about youth values. The 99 percent are doing more than staying out of trouble.

They’re doing good.

Take Jake Epperson and Jack Glosson, two seniors at St. George’s Independent School in Collierville.

Last spring, they started working on their senior independent study project.

They decided to plan and build a disc golf course on campus.

As the school year began, the course became a cause when they found out their friend and classmate, Adam Cruthirds, had been diagnosed with leukemia.

DAVID WATERS FAITH MATTERS

Nov. 25, the two St. George’s Gryphons held a 16-hole “Fighting Cancer with Frisbees” tournament. They raised about $500.

Adam played the irst eight holes, scoring an even 8, good enough to lead the tournament before he tired.

He’d endured another round of chemotherapy the day before at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

“Only 118½ weeks to go,” said his mother, Connie.

“Not that we’re counting.

We’ve had so much support from the hospital, the church, the school. What his friends did was so loving and encouraging. I get tears every time I think about it.”

Adam, who turned 17 in September, plans to graduate from school on time in May 2016, and from chemotherapy on time in January 2017. He appreciates the support.

“It is very cool that they put all that work into this to make it happen,” he said. “I am very thankful.”

While Adam’s friends were spending part of their holiday with him, members of the Central High School marching band were spending part of their holiday with little Fletcher, who turned 1 last Saturday.

Back in May, Fletcher was rushed to the hospital

in an ambulance. A few hours later, he went into septic shock. He was on a ventilator for eight days and spent nearly a month in intensive care at Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital.

He was diagnosed and treated for a rare childhood disease known as Kawasaki. He’s home now — happy, healthy and medication free.

Fletcher and his parents live in Midtown near

Central High. He loves to listen to Central’s Warrior Marching Band practicing.

Their music makes him smile.

Last month, Fletcher’s mom sent an e-mail to Vice Principal Amy Epps “to see if the Warrior Band would play for him on his birthday (Nov. 29.).

“Fletcher was discharged from Le Bonheur on June 6, which is D-Day and seemed quite appro-

priate for my little warrior.”

Epps asked band directors Ollie Liddell and Roderick White Jr., who asked the band.

“If it will make that little boy smile and feel better, we’re happy to do it,” said Jaylon Taylor, a senior baritone player and band president.

Last Saturday afternoon, on their holiday weekend, nearly 120 band members put on their uniforms and marched from the school to Fletcher’s home.

They played a few pep songs for the little warrior, including the Central High ight song. It’s called “Warrior Song.”

Adam doesn’t see himself as a warrior, but he is leading an army. He calls it Adam’s Army (ind them on Facebook).

The weekend before Thanksgiving, they raised more than $5,000 in the “St. Jude Give thanks.

Walk.” event. Adam participated, of course. He even ran across the inish line.

This weekend, he plans to cheer on those participating in the St. Jude Marathon.

For the second year in a row, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is uniting with Greater Memphis area choirs to present a “Nativity Festival and Concert” in celebration of the life of the Savior.

The event will be Friday, from 6-9 p.m. and Saturday, from 3-8:30 p.m. at 8150 Walnut Grove. The festival will consist of Nativity displays, story time for the children, Bethlehem Theatre: “The Birth of the Savior, local choirs, family photos and live nativities.

The concert will include musical performances by Germantown High School A Cappella Choir, Arlington’s Bell Choir, Covenant United Methodist Church, local pianist Rebecca Walker, and many other talents from the Greater Memphis Area.

The Nativity Festival and Concert is free, however, donations of diapers for Operation: Swaddling Clothes are appreciated.

Come and enjoy the Nativity displays and the musical performances.

These two days will be an excellent way to kick of the Christmas season, give of our bounty and enjoy a special time with friends and family.

Willie smith is the director of public afairs for the Church of Jesus Christ of latter-days saints.

RECOGNIZED BY THEBESTSCHOOLS.ORG FOR:

ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE EXTRACURRICULAR RICHNESS CHRISTIAN FAITH TAKEN SERIOUSLY At Ridge Lake, Ms. Landy’s second graders have be been learning about the eye in science. Along with a partner, each student used a numbered wi white collar to measure his or her ield of vision wh an and to understand peripheral vision. They covered up one eye to see how it changed their depth perception while walking up stairs. The children pe used a lashlight to watch the iris change the size us of the pupil, and they also used a magnifying class for a closer look at the eye and for understanding fo the th shape of the lens in the eye. The second graders used their prisms to see and draw the color spectrum and to chase the light spectrums around the classroom.

Looking at optical illusions, the students learned that sometimes things are not what they seem to be to our brain. They learned the parts of the eye and how they work together so we can see. They all agreed that two eyes are better than one eye for seeing and came to the conclusion that our eyes were created by an amazing God!

HIStory Xtravaganza

Antarctica-ECS 4th Grade Connection Forest Hill fourth grade recently went on a ield trip and visited with Ms. Alex Eilers at the Pink Palace who will be going to Antarctica to study Weddell seals in November and December. She talked to them about Weddell seals and the students will be able to track her journey and observations online as well as ask her questions. Some of the fourth graders gave her self-addressed post cards that she will mail back to them from Antarctica. The group also gave her a lag that was painted by Mrs. Smith and signed by each of the fourth graders. It will be lown at some point in Antarctica, featured on her web page, and returned to the students!

EXPERIENCE ECS: Grades 6-12 8:30am-10:30am January 21, 2015 – Macon Campus

The ECS band beat their drums and boldly played their instruments as they welcomed Forest Hill and Ridge Lake guests to the Macon campus on Friday, October 31, for the Social Studies Xtravaganza. “L’e’tat, c’est moi. I am the State!” said French King Louis IV Martin Luther was there, nailing his 95 Theses to the door,Christopher Columbus stared through his telescope, and Betsy Ross busily sewed the American lag. Also in attendance were Florence Nightingale, Elizabeth I, Ulysses Grant, Napoleon Bonaparte, Jane Austen, and Marie Antoinette trying to hold onto her head. William Wallace, a.k.a. Middle School Principal Chuck Smith, amused the audience as he walked down the aisle in a Scottish kilt, blue face paint and a giant sword to the sound of bagpipes.

A II am so blessed to teach such a ECS students celebrate the creation of the school’s Shelby County Mayor’s Youth Council with Shelby County Mayor Mark Luttrell and director of legislative affairs for Shelby County, Paul Young.

By Mylissa Horrocks Special to The Weekly

CS freshman and Germantown resident Emma Johnson is thrilled with the early success of the inaugural Shelby County Mayor’s Youth Council.

“This is such an exciting opportunity to help the youth voice resonate in the community,” said Johnson. “A particular goal is to raise youth awareness of the government process and to serve. I am beyond excited. It’s going to be a really productive year and I look forward to seeing our progress.”

After discovering that cities such as Boston and Houston had student groups that work with local government, Johnson pitched the idea to ECS head of school Bryan Miller and high school principal Barrett Luketic.

“Emma has a passion to lead and serve.

She identiied a problem integrating young people from Memphis and Shelby County and then met with Shelby County Mayor Mark Luttrell to discuss possible solutions. She has since organized and led meetings with students, faculty and the mayor’s oice, discussing issues and concerns of teenagers in Shelby County,” remarked Luketic.

Last summer, Johnson worked alongside Shelby County’s director of legislative afairs, Paul Young, to hammer out details and plans for the new council.

The group meets on the ECS campus with Luttrell and Young to discuss issues facing the youth of Shelby County.

Several ECS high school students have joined the pilot group. Junior and Cordova resident David Boyd Jr. says he’s concerned that the youth of Shelby County lack a strong voice in local government.

“I’m grateful to have an opportunity to get involved at politics at a young age, and be a change maker,” said Boyd, who holds a 4.3 GPA and is a recent qualiier for the International Triathlon Union Sprint World Championships.

Now that the Council is successfully in place at one Shelby County school, the plan is to expand into other area high schools during the 2015-2016 school year.

Meanwhile, at the southern end of the lake, people gathered around ire pits that were set up for staying warm and for roasting marshmallows. Inside the Municipal Center, seasonal refreshments, including cookies and warm cider, were ofered to guests.

Sitting on an oversized chair in a corner of Municipal Center’s main loor was Santa.

Children and their families stood in a line that wound and twisted around the Municipal Center’s polished loors. As Santa greeted each child with a warm smile and a hearty laugh, kids crawled up on St. Nick’s lap and told him their Christmas wishes.

Community FAITH

An American Girl Highland Church, St. George’s team up to grant a Make-A-Wish

By Kevin Woods Special to The Weekly

T

here was quite an elaborate American Girl Fashion Show held at the Highland Church of Christ Nov. 16.

Bright lights, a red carpet runway, fun music, red and pink balloons and huge pink stars on each side of the entrance where the models appeared formed the backdrop for the event.

The big production was done to grant Carson Head her Make-A-Wish dream.

Carson is a third-grader who attends St. George’s Independent School and worships at Highland Church of Christ. The St. George’s Make-A-Wish Club, the Highland Youth Group and the Highland Children’s Ministry partnered together to grant her wish to visit the American Girl Store in Chicago.

Highland volunteers decorated the room, St. George’s students ran the photo booth and The Flour Garden owner, Laura Jackson, created a custom cake. Nine girls from the church and school modeled as current American Girl dolls.

Carson was brought up as the surprise inal model. She walked the runway to a standing ovation. Her family then joined her on stage where the wish was revealed. Balloons dropped from the ceiling confetti covered everyone.

After spending some time eating cake and taking pictures with her friends, Carson and her family were escorted to the waiting limo down a sidewalk lined with people holding giant spar-

On their way to the limo, Carson Head is led down the walkway by her mom, Paula Head, and her siblings, Cameron and Chandler.

klers. A ireworks show capped of the night as they drove away.

Carson learned she had osteosarcoma, a rare bone cancer, last March a day before her eighth birthday, but it has not deterred her from being the happiest, most courageous 8 year old you will ever meet. As soon as family and friends heard the news, they formed TeamCarson as a way for people to show their support. Thousands of people have visited her pages on Facebook and CaringBridge. Hundreds of people will participate in this year’s St. Jude Marathon wearing their TeamCarson gear.

BOARD OF MAYOR AND ALDERMEN

G’town to redesign signs, landscaping at Municipal Center

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

JENNIFER PIGNOLET/THE COMMERCIAL APPEAL

Tine Williams (left) and her daughter Jenny Williams greet Bob Winterrowd in front of his Collierville house that was destroyed by fire. Tine and Winterrowd are set to be married on Dec. 13.

Hope survives loss Fire claims Collierville home, but not its owner’s future

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

Of all the items in Bob Winterrowd’s newly renovated Collierville home, the two most important ones survived the ire that gutted it on Nov. 25.

One was a photo of Winterrowd’s late wife, Christie Winterrowd, who died in 1997.

The other was a set of wedding rings he and his iancée, Tine Williams, picked out for their wedding in less than two weeks.

The fire destroyed the 4,500-square-foot home on Halle Parkway. The cause is still under investigation, but the ire department determined the house to be a total loss.

Williams said the wedding —

along with Thanksgiving at her sister’s house — would be unaffected.

“We’ll keep going,” she said.

“That’s Bob’s attitude. It’s about people. It’s not about things.”

The couple, along with a woman who was cleaning the house, were home when the ire broke out just before 4:30 p.m.

Winterrowd said he was taking a nap when he heard the security system alarm sound. He checked the kitchen and then the garage and saw thick black smoke. The three of them evacuated and watched the entire house go up in lames.

“It went so fast,” Williams said.

The couple is set to get married Dec. 13. Williams said she still has her house in Cordova, and everything they needed for the wedding was in that house, where they are now staying.

They had just inished renovating the Collierville house within the last few days, she said, and it had sentimental value for her

soon-to-be husband and their three grown children.

“He built this house for (Christie), and she died within a few months,” Williams said.

Winterrowd is a retired FedEx pilot, and Williams spent 31 years in the Army Reserves.

The 63-year-olds met in 2001, but didn’t start dating until they found each other again, this time online, two years ago.

Williams threw her Army boots back on last Wednesday to clear out the house and ind what was salvageable. It wasn’t much, but Williams continued smiling and saying, “We’ll be all right,” and, “There’s always hope.”

“We’ve got what we needed,” she said.

Winterrowd ran an errand while Williams and neighbors combed through the debris. Upon returning, Williams joyfully told him she had located the photo and the rings.

He smiled and joked, “I guess I’ve got to get married now.”

The City of Germantown will spend $242,052 on a landscape and signage plan to redesign the front of the municipal center.

The Board of Mayor and Aldermen approved the contract last Monday with Barnes & Brower Inc. City Administrator Patrick Lawton said the project was on this iscal year’s list of capital improvements, although it came in about $15,000 over what was budgeted at the beginning of the year.

The plan calls for a curved, 41-foot-long, ivefoot-tall monument sign that would say Germantown City Hall — a change from the Germantown Municipal Center, as it is most frequently called.

The brick and limestonepaneled sign would also list the address and show the city’s seal. Behind the structure would be lag poles.

Lawton said residents and visitors have complained the municipal center is hard to ind because the address is on South Germantown Road, but the main entrance is of of Farmington Boulevard.

The sign will be installed at that corner.

“We’re kind of down in a hole,” Lawton said.

The landscaping will include rain gardens to help with water runof and aesthetics, he said, as rain water now “shoots down” Farmington.

The city has applied for a $30,000 state grant for stormwater projects

that would go toward the landscaping, Lawton said.

Lawton said the goal is for the city to lead the way in aesthetic designs that are also functional.

“These will be demonstration projects for what the developments can do,” he said, later adding, “You can have the beautiful gardens, native plants, (and) control the drainage on site.”

In other business, the aldermen approved three variances, or exceptions, to a development plan to expand Saddle Creek with another building on the northeast corner of Poplar Avenue and West Farmington Boulevard.

One variance was for parking and two were to allow the building to be closer to the roadway than the code allows.

The vote to approve the exceptions was 3-2, with Forrest Owens and Greg Marcom dissenting. Owens said he supported the growth of Saddle Creek, and the overall look of the building, but thought the developers could design a plan that worked within the code.

“My feeling was just make it work and bring it to us within compliance with the law,” Owens said after the meeting. He had previously voted against the variances as the liaison to the Planning Commission.

The aldermen also approved an $18,248.50 expenditure to purchase $50 Kroger gift cards for 377 city employees for the holidays. The city was able to negotiate a $1.50 discount for each card.

Tigers bask in championship at annual banquet

Memphis thirdyear head coach Justin Fuente (right) is doused after his Tigers defeated UConn 41-10 to win the American Athletic Conference championship Saturday.

Fuente said of his Tigers (9-3 overall and 7-1 in the league): “I don’t think I can’t say enough good things about these kids and the way they’ve worked.”

By Phil Stukenborg stukenborg@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2543

A crowd of about 450 that packed into a ballroom last Sunday night at the University of Memphis’s on-campus Holiday Inn found itself attending more than the annual Tiger football banquet, the year-end tribute to the team’s seniors.

The banquet instead was an extended celebration of what transpired a night earlier at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium.

The Tigers overpowered UConn, 41-10, last Saturday to capture at least a share of the American Athletic Conference title and the irst league championship for the program in 43 years. Speeches, the team highlight ilm and the ballroom lobby all included references to the milestone for the Tigers and third-year coach Justin Fuente. The shiny league championship trophy was on display in the lobby and eventually escorted into the ballroom by director of football operations Jef Kupper, after some not-so-subtle prompting from banquet emcee Eli Savoie.

“The irst two years we were just trying to get to a bowl game,” senior defensive back Bobby McCain said. “We surpassed that and got a conference championship. That’s a huge deal. You can’t beat being champions.”

The Tigers completed their regular season with a 9-3 overall record and a 7-1 league mark, the irst seven-win conference season in the program’s history. They’ll learn of their bowl destination within the “next ive to six days,” according to athletic director Tom Bowen, who told the crowd Sunday night the most coveted of the ive AAC bowls is the Dec. 22 Miami Beach Bowl.

During the banquet, senior linebacker Charles Harris was awarded the team’s top honor — the True Tiger Award — for a combination of his exemplary character and playing ability. Sophomore quarterback Paxton Lynch, responsible for a team-record 28 touchdowns, was voted the DeAngelo Williams Most Valuable Player.

Senior running back Brandon Hayes was named the Isaac Bruce Ofensive Player of the Year and senior linebacker Tank Jakes was named the John Bramlett Defensive Player of the Year. Sophomore Jake Elliott was selected Special Teams Player of the Year.

Sunday’s individual awards had to yield the spotlight to the team’s accomplishment. The Tigers will be playing in the postseason for the irst time since 2008.

“It’s the irst time we’ve come to a banquet and it hasn’t been the end of the season,” Harris said. “It means a lot for it to be my senior year and for it to end this way.

“It also means a lot because it’s my birthday. I turned 22 (Sunday). And I couldn’t have asked for a better birthday present than to win a conference championship. There’s just a lot of good things going on.”

Hayes, a former walk-on, ranks sixth in school history with 2,338 rushing yards, one behind No. 5 Joe Doss.

“We started of conference play with a bang against Cincinnati and from there we really didn’t get touched, except against Houston,” Hayes said of the Tigers’ nearly unblemished run through the AAC. Hayes said the Tigers prospered under the leadership and direction of Fuente, in his third season as coach after coming to the U of M from TCU, where he was co-ofensive coordinator.

“This group of seniors serve as fantastic examples that hard work does pay of,” Fuente said.

“I’m proud of the way they did it.”

Blue-ribbon day Tigers claim first conference championship in 43 years

By Phil Stukenborg stukenborg@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2543

G

etting a irm grip on the American Athletic Conference trophy — tucked away underneath the stands at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium — proved somewhat problematic for the University of Memphis football team last Saturday.

The Tigers, attempting to clinch at least a share of a league title for the irst time in 43 years, struggled for slightly more than two quarters against downtrodden but pesky UConn. The Huskies came in having lost seven of their last eight, including 41-0 last weekend at home to Cincinnati.

Then midway through the third quarter, the U of M ofense settled into an eicient, explosive rhythm and those in charge of the trophy’s upkeep must have inally felt comfortable unpacking and polishing the hardware. The Tigers erupted for 21 fourth-quarter points — on three touchdown passes by Paxton Lynch — to pull away from the Huskies en route to a 41-10 victory and their irst conference championship since winning the 1971 Missouri Valley Conference.

The postgame celebration — complete with blasts of confetti and remarks from AAC Commissioner Michael Aresco and U of M President Dr. David Rudd — included players and coaches hugging one another and donning championship T-shirts.

“I kissed that trophy, I hugged that trophy,” said sixth-year senior running back Brandon Hayes. “It was a

great feeling.”

Lynch passed for a career-high four touchdowns as the Tigers (9-3) won their sixth straight. The nine regularseason wins were the most by a U of M team since 1963 and the six consecutive wins a irst since 1969.

“I don’t think I can’t say enough good things about these kids and the way they’ve worked,” third-year Tiger coach Justin Fuente said. “I don’t know that we’re the most talented team around, but they certainly played together and they certainly have some toughness about them.”

Memphis ended with a 7-1 league record and will await word on its bowl destination Dec. 7. The Tigers will be headed to the postseason for the irst time since 2008. A strong possibility for the U of M is the Dec. 22 Miami Beach Bowl, a game owned by the league.

Cincinnati and Central Florida, each with one league loss, could share the title with the Tigers providing they win their regular-season inales next weekend. The conference championship was the ifth in the U of M program’s history.

“The coaching staf and the kids bought into this,” said Tiger athletic director Tom Bowen, who posed for pictures with his family during the celebration. “This is fun. It’s fun to do this.”

Lynch’s TD passes — to Keiwone Malone, Tevin Jones and Phil Mayhue — came during a seven-minute stretch of the quarter that extended a 13-3 halftime advantage to 34-3.

Jones’ reception was a one-handed catch on third-and-goal from the UConn 12-yard line and preceded a 21-yard toss to Mayhue by two minutes. The scores by Malone and Mayhue followed turnovers, Malone’s coming after a Martin Ifedi fumble recovery and Mayhue’s after a Fritz Etienne interception.

Freshman running back Jarvis Cooper added the U of M’s inal touchdown with a 1-yard run with 5:09 left.

“I knew it was going to be a tough, hard-fought game,” Fuente said. “I didn’t expect us to come out (and dominate). I knew we were going to have to wear them down because of the way the matchups fell. They do a great job scheme-wise, defensively.

And what they do creates problems.

It’s hard to move them.”

Lynch inished 22 of 41 for 194 yards. Senior running back Brandon Hayes rushed for 60 yards on 17 carries and Malone caught seven passes for 70 yards and two touchdowns, his irst TD catches of the season.

UConn (2-9, 1-6) was led by running back Ron Johnson, who carried 22 times for 67 yards.

The Tigers, with the league’s top rushing ofense at 193 yards per game, struggled on the ground early.

The U of M was limited to 8 rushing yards in the irst quarter.

But Jake Elliott ield goals from 21 and 22 yards gave the Tigers a 6-0 irst-quarter lead, and a 6-yard touchdown pass from Lynch to Malone late in the second quarter helped the U of M grab a 13-3 halftime lead. Lynch capped an 80-yard, 10-play drive by inding Malone on a fade route. It was Malone’s sixth career TD, but his irst of the season.

UConn scored in the closing seconds of the half on a 45-yard ield goal

by Bobby Puyol.

The Tigers had 67 rushing yards at the half but inished with 178 and 372 total yards. UConn inished with 269 total yards, but only 107 rushing.

Huskies coach Bob Diaco said Memphis’ turnaround is a blueprint for what he hopes to do at UConn.

“They’re in Year Three (of a new staf) and through the adversity and their stick-to-itiveness, and the execution of their model, they’ve created a champion,” Diaco said. “It’s awesome, just awesome. And that’s what we’re going to. There’s no doubt.”

Peay. He then said it every single week.

So the Tigers went 1-0 against Austin Peay, and 1-0 against Middle Tennessee State, and 1-0 against Cincinnati and, before long, all those 1-0’s started to pile up.

Last Saturday, the players all wore bracelets that said “Complete the Mission,” which is what they ultimately did.

Paxton Lynch threw four touchdown passes. Lynch, you will recall, is the quarterback

Fuente refused to bench last year.

Keiwone Malone caught two of those touchdown passes.

Malone, you will recall, is the receiver Fuente declined to play until he shaped up of the ield.

That is what efective coaching looks like, by the way. That’s how a devastated program is slowly rebuilt.

A year after ending its season by losing to UConn by 35 points, Memphis won its irst conference championship in more than

four decades by beating that same UConn team by 31.

The fourth quarter was more celebration than anything, more of a countdown than a contest. Players hugged. Coaches grinned. It seemed like every fan in the stadium was recording the event on a cellphone.

“This is incredible,” said Kenny Derryberry, in section 102, choking back tears. Kenny and his wife, Tammy, have been coming to the games since the 1980s. As it happens, they’re retiring to Florida after this year.

So this was their last game as season-ticket holders, and they were having a hard time letting go.

But then the Derryberrys pointed out another couple, Paul and Joyce Robinson, who have been coming to the Liberty Bowl for 50 consecutive years.

“This has been the greatest thing,” said Paul Robinson, 82.

“I never thought we’d see anything like this.”

See anything like a championship, he meant. See a ceremony and a trophy and a celebration that could go on for a good long while.

“We inally have a football team,” said Robinson.

Confetti all around!

Say Cheese!

We asked guests of the recent Davies Manor Association’s Quilt & Fiber Arts Show and Sale:

If you lived in the pioneer days, what would you like and dislike about daily life?

“I would love being outdoors with nature. I wouldn’t care for cooking from scratch.”

LAURIE LETURNO, Collierville

“I love how you took care of you own self with sustainable living. I wouldn’t like cooking.”

STEPHANIE YARBRO, Bartlett

“I would like the simple lifestyle, but not the daily washing, cleaning, cooking and gardening.”

CELESTE YANES, Collierville

“I would love the solitude, quiet and simplicity. I would really dislike the lack of hygiene (bathing/restroom).”

“I love how everything was communal and everybody looked out for everybody.

I wouldn’t like the medical care (kitchen surgery) back then.”

DELIA WAGES, Bartlett

Travel Richard Bruce Winders, Curator at the Alamo, watches over the displays. The main building at the Alamo is called the “Shrine,” in reverence for the bravery and sacrifice by the men who died while defending the historic landmark that was once a mission.

THE

ALAMO REVISITED

Surrounded by urban clutter in San Antonio the landmark remains an icon of American bravery

By Christopher Reynolds Los Angeles Times (TNS)

AN ANTONIO — The most

S

famous building in Texas is smaller than you expect. It was once a mission, though these days it stands across the street from an unholy row of Ripley’s and Guinness tourist operations. You can cover it in about two hours.

Yes, it’s the Alamo. And yes, it’s worth remembering. This is where William Travis, David “Davy” Crockett, Jim Bowie and about 200 other rebels died ighting for Texas sovereignty against a Mexican force of perhaps 1,800 soldiers, perhaps 6,000. Ever since that day in 1836, the Alamo has been embraced as a symbol of doomed bravery.

The story won over Fess Parker, who starred in a ‘50s Disney miniseries about Crockett, and John Wayne, who directed and starred in a movie version of the Alamo story in 1960. And it spoke to pop star Phil Collins, who grew up in England watching Parker on TV. He spent a fortune acquiring 200 artifacts of the battle and of Texas history, then last month handed them over to the state of Texas.

The Collins collection includes letters from Travis, a rile of Crockett’s, a knife of Bowie’s and a sword that belonged to Mexican leader Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna. State oicials hope to build a museum to show it all of, but no new building will displace the Alamo’s facade as an emblem of the West.

First stop was the remnants of the old Alamo compound, much of which was gobbled up by shops and streets in San Antonio’s early decades. Nowadays, the landmark, which is free to visit, is surrounded by urban San Antonio and dwarfed by the tall, slender Emily Morgan Hotel to the north and the low, rambling Menger Hotel to the south.

You begin with the Alamo’s focal point, the former church with the weathered facade that’s now known as the shrine of Texas liberty. It was built by Spanish missionaries and Coahuiltecan Indians in the 18th century as the chapel of the Mission San Antonio de Valero. But the mission didn’t last, so the rooless building was pressed into service as a garrison for Spanish troops, then Mexican troops and then, in 1836, rebels aiming to pry Texas from Mexico and establish a republic.

Inside the shrine, gentlemen are instructed to remove their hats. In dim light, visitors inspect a knife associated with Bowie, a vest that belonged to Crockett and a row of lags that honor the dead rebels. Many of them had recently arrived from Tennessee and elsewhere (including former Tennessee congressman Crockett); most expected to be paid for their services with big chunks of land; and many had not-so-heroic histories. But there’s no denying the extremity of their last chapter, holed up in the ruined mission compound for 13 days as enemy troops massed nearby.

Nowadays, the shrine has a solid roof over it, a gift shop next door (faux coonskin caps, $12.99) and a well-tended garden all around. But as you wander through the shrine, or linger by the neighboring long barrack building, it’s not hard to imagine the scene.

“This is where Texas begins,” I heard somebody say with an accent I couldn’t immediately place. It was Dennis Kozinski, who had come to town from his native Ukraine. He was sporting cowboy boots and a silver belt buckle — but he was thinking about the Ukrainian troops, outnumbered along the Russian border in recent months.

“It’s like Ukraine,” he said of the Alamo battle. “Before this moment, they were not sure. But this moment, being against 5,000 Mexicans, they were sure. Being against all that, it brings them together.”

PHOTOS BY MARK BOSTER/LOS ANGELES TIMES/TNS

Reflected in puddles of water from a passing storm, the Alamo in San Antonio, Texas, is a hallowed shrine where visitors pay tribute to the heroes who fought there.

A man sitting on his bike is dwarfed by a mural in downtown San Antonio, Texas, several blocks from the Alamo.

Canons surround the courtyard behind the gift shop at the Alamo.

“Victory or death,” Travis, the rebels’ commander, wrote in a letter seeking reinforcements during the siege. But reinforcements never came, or at least not enough to make a diference. When Santa Anna’s troops charged on March 6 — with orders to take no prisoners — the rebels did what they could with cannons, muskets and swords, killing as many as 600 of the attackers. But it was over quickly.

By most accounts, every rebel ighter was killed that morning. But the recollections of surviving women, children, slaves and Mexican soldiers were hazy and often conlict-

ing, leaving historians to debate who died when, where and how.

This much is clear, though: Six weeks later, revenge-seeking rebels prevailed in the Battle of San Jacinto, took Santa Anna prisoner and proclaimed Texas a republic. Nine years later, the U.S. annexed Texas.

Twelve years later, in 1848, the U.S. won the Mexican-American War. To see what San Antonio has been up to since then, just look around Alamo Plaza, where you’ll see stately buildings from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, some of them now occupied or neighbored by Ripley’s and Guinness.

Activists at www.alamoplazaproject.com would like to replace these businesses with a replica of the Alamo’s western wall, which once stood there. Richard Bruce Winders, historian and curator of the Alamo, told me the block “presents a sort of problem for the Alamo.” But, he continued, “this is America. Do we drive people out of buildings just because we want the buildings? I’m not comfortable with that.”

I sidestepped the sideshow businesses because I wanted more time with a San Antonio tourist attraction far bigger than I expected — the River Walk.

Conceived in 1929 by architect Robert H.H. Hugman and completed (or so it seemed) in 1941, the River Walk was a simple idea: Put walkways along the banks of the San Antonio River and make them a thoroughfare for tourists.

It worked. Then the system got a boost in the 1960s, when San Antonio hosted HemisFair ‘68. Further boosts followed, and the walkways now line 15 miles of the river. Scores of restaurants and hotels stand alongside the river, as do the city’s glittering new Tobin Center for the Performing Arts; the San Antonio Museum of Art (built in the 1980s on the site of the old Lone Star Brewery) and the restaurants and shops of the not-quite-completed Pearl (another brewery redevelopment project).

As many a conventioneer has discovered, you can spend three days meandering the River Walk and scarcely set foot on the grittier downtown streets where locals tread.

My plan was to rent a bike and pedal to the four other missions along the river within an easy ride of the Alamo — but rain came. So we drove mission to mission, walking grounds maintained by the National Park Service.

Later that night, when I doubled back downtown and found the old Alamo shrine bathed in loodlights, backed by storm clouds, surrounded by rain puddles, it didn’t look so small after all.

Good Health

Becca Marino (left) jokes with her clients Tuesday morning between sets while working out on the suspension trainer at Fitness INSPIRATION Inc. Marino was inspired to open an airmative itness center by her own struggles with eating disorders.

“Just show up and be the best you can be,” she says.

PHOTOS BY JIM WEBER THE COMMERCIAL APPEAL

FIT&INSPIRED No negative talk allowed at airmative gym

By Lesley Young Special to The Commercial Appeal

The door reads, “Energy Vampire-Free Zone.”

Quotes like Marcel Proust’s “Let us be grateful to people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom,” greet those who enter.

Once inside, there are regular promises of “rainbows, butterlies and puppy dogs.”

This special realm of all things positive is Fitness INSPIRATION! Inc., a gym owned and operated by certiied personal trainer Becca Marino.

“I try to ofer a nonjudgmental, non-labeling, non-categorizing environment, said Marino, 34. “Whether you are advanced, intermediate or a beginner, it doesn’t matter. Just show up and be the best you can be.”

Marino knows all about energy vampires, like comparing oneself to the unattainable airbrushed images generated the beauty industry.

For most of her teenage years and into her early 20s, Marino sufered from an eating disorder. At age 25, she sought help at a treatment center in Arizona.

“I knew I was going to die if I continued, and I needed to get help,” she said.

It was there she learned to believe in herself and found the inspiration to help others.

“I believe the itness industry is part of the reason we have eating disorders

and body image issues,” Marino said.

“I knew my impact would be in the itness industry — to change the conversation and ofer a diferent voice, a diferent environment and a diferent culture.”

After completing her treatment in 2005, Marino earned an exercise science degree, her National Strength and Conditioning Association and IDEA certiications as well as a TRX certiication.

She recently moved into her location at 7740 B Trinity Road, where close to 100 members leave their negative talk at the door and participate in her BEST! Me Boot Camp surrounded by quotes like, “A little bit better every day causes phenomenally better over a lifetime.”

“There’s no negative talk, no body bashing, no scales, no comparing yourself to others,” Marino said.

“Members sign a contract that states we don’t tolerate negative energy.”

For Sarah Lin, that was just what she had in mind.

“I had a personal trainer who would pinch my fat and wanted to put me on a scale, said Lin, 34, of Germantown.

“I told him that goes against my beliefs and what my nutritionist and I do. We don’t go by numbers.”

Her nutritionist recommended she

visit Marino with the thought they would be a good match for each other.

“From the minute I met with her, I thought, ‘She gets it,’” said Lin, a business owner. “I eat real food and listen to my body. I don’t want to be a number.”

When Lin met with Marino just over a year ago, the two assessed Lin’s goals and began working toward them.

“I told her from the beginning that I wanted to get pregnant again and wanted to do it healthily and be it,” Lin said.

Now the mother of one son is just less than four weeks pregnant and feels great.

“I’m in a very good place physically and mentally,” Lin said. “If you’re being the best you can be — if you’re working out and eating right and leading a healthy lifestyle, then you’re doing what you’re supposed to be doing.”

Jennifer Frye, 45, of Bartlett started taking Marino’s boot camp classes four years ago after inding a deal on Groupon.

She didn’t know the classes would change more than just her shape.

“I didn’t know what I was getting into,” said Frye, a stay-at-home wife and mother. “I just wanted to ind something to supplement my running and build my muscles.”

Seniors can benefit from canine companions

By Christina Cheakalos AARP Media

If your nest is empty — by circumstance or by choice — think about getting a dog. Known for their devotion and happy dances, dogs can take a big bite out of isolation. Just hanging out with a furry friend, studies show, has a revitalizing efect. Here, 10 beneits of later-life dog ownership: 1. Dogs Keep You Fit

Adopt a dog and ditch that pricey personal trainer. A study in The Journal of Physical Activity and Health found that dog owners walk approximately one hour longer per day than those without a fetching friend in their lives.

2. They Make You Healthier

Studies show that dog-owning seniors have lower blood pressure and lower cholesterol than their petless peers.

Having a dog also reduces the risk of heart attack — and boosts your chances of long-term survival if you have one.

3. Dogs Are Social Mediums

A natural-born icebreaker, your dog will introduce you to everyone from next-door neighbors to perfect strangers.

It’s almost impossible to pass a dog without making a “pat stop,” so head for the park — Bowser will take it from there.

4. They Organize Your Day

A dog may keep you sane, showered and solvent. Studies show that dog owners exhibit higher degrees of self-discipline than those without. Makes sense: Dogs, like humans, thrive on structure; they need to be fed, walked and nurtured at regular intervals.

5. Dogs Get You

MRI scanners showed that the canine brain reacts to voices and sounds, such as crying or laughter, in the same way the human brain does. Dogs are also the only nonhuman animals who scan the left side of a face — the process whereby people, too, “read” emotions.

6. They Boost Quality of Life

For many older Americans, a dog means the diference between a life lived and a life merely endured. Dogs help you stay safe and independent: They provide ears for the deaf, eyes for the blind and an early warning system at the approach of dangers (both real and imagined, of course!).

7. They Can Be an Old Friend

No need for housebreaking and training when you adopt an older pooch. Studies show you can teach an old dog new tricks — or simply take it for long, calm walks. For tips on bringing a “senior dog” into your home, check out susiesseniordogs.com.

8. They Help You Volunteer

When is a dog like a grandchild? When you can play with it during the day and then head home! Shelters and rescue organizations are desperate for volunteer help. And you’ll get a boost from that tailwagging mood elevator.

9. Dogs Make You a Better Person

Consider this: Ozzy Osbourne, the batchomping rocker not known as an SPCA poster child, once wrestled a coyote to the ground to pull his pet Pomeranian, Pipi, from its jaws. As the “bumper snicker” exhorts us, “Be the person your dog thinks you are.”

10. They Let You Be a Hero

The Humane Society estimates that 6 to 8 million dogs and cats wind up in animal shelters every year. The majority would make loyal and loving companions, yet at least half of that number is euthanized annually.

Now Frye focuses on strength and becoming the best she can be.

“I don’t fret about my body like I used to,” she said. “Now I look at what my body can do and what I can do for my body. I do the best I can every day and try to give 100 percent.”

Her experience has even spilled over into her home life.

Her husband, Kevin Frye, joins her for boot camp classes, and they practice similar principles at home.

“When something negative comes up, we use a positive phrase to change the tone,” said Kevin, 38. “We spend time in Montana as a vacation spot, so when anything negative is said, we say, ‘Montana,’ and it helps reframe it.”

Marino hopes that, like the Fryes, when clients leave her doors, they don’t pick back up the negative talk they left at the door. She tries to help by ofering E-zines, video blogs and occasional workshops geared toward positive thinking.

According to statista.com, the global health and itness club industry generated $75.75 billion in 2012.

“It keeps growing because people want a product or a service that will bring them happiness — being a certain size, shape, breast size. That’s what sells, and that is one thing I will never be. I don’t care if I go bankrupt,” Marino said.

One promise is guaranteed to come true to for her clients.

They deinitely get puppy dogs when they come through the door.

Tank, Marino’s pit bull, greets them and usually cheers them on during the workouts.

“It’s about your spirit being energized and walking out with a smile,” Marino said.

“If you don’t have your health and you don’t like who you are, life sucks,” she said. “It doesn’t matter how much money you have, you are not going to be happy.

“If we could all feel good about ourselves and be compassionate with each other, it would be a diferent world.”

Garden Club talks Wolf River conservation

By Janie Deere Special to The Weekly

The Germantown Garden Clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s November meeting was held in the home of club member Luisa Stubbs and featured a program led

by David Smith, a member and supporter of the Wolf River Conservancy.

The program covered conservation eforts along the upper Wolf River, paying special attention to the public/private acquisition of the 4,000 acre Beasley Tract at LaGrange.

The â&#x20AC;&#x153;Headwaters Campaignâ&#x20AC;? culminated in the establishment of the Wolf River WMA and Ghost River State Natural Area.

Hailed as a major conservation success, the project

was the result of hard work by many volunteers and millions of dollars in grants and private donations.

The Wolf River rises in the Holly Springs National Forest in Benton County then travels northwest and drains into portions of Hardeman, Fayette and Shelby counties before entering the Mississippi River.

Before concerned citizens actively heralded conservation eforts, and brought about signiicant changes to the river, it was considered a â&#x20AC;&#x153;smellingâ&#x20AC;? cesspool.

Over the course of 20 years, with the Wolf River Conservancy playing the lead role, the Wolf River corridor has become recognized as a valuable
