Christopher Rayder, 15, and his father, Rob Rayder, share a love of running marathons. Rob Rayner, who began running at age 40, challenged himself by running five marathons in five days, with Christopher joining him for two of the marathons.

THE RUNNING MAN

By Marlon W. Morgan morgan@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2792

When Rob Rayder heard about the Riverboat Series marathons, the concept left him shaking his head: Who would think of running ive marathons, in ive days, in ive diferent states?

Then, the idea began to marinate, and what had seemed absurd became intriguing. Before long, Rayder, a 45-year-old physician who lives in Collierville, decided to give it a shot.

“The most I’ve done up to this point is two in two days. There’s something intriguing about the possibility of being able to push yourself beyond what you think is possible,” Rayder said.

“I see other people that have done it, too.

It’s possible for them. Why wouldn’t it be possible for me if I trained and take the time

Physician faces five marathons in five days across five states to learn how to do this right?”

The series, which is for half and full marathoners, kicked of last Saturday at Columbus-Belmont State Park in Columbus, Ky. Last Sunday, it shifted to Meeman-Shelby Forest State Park in Millington.

The inal legs were in Lake Chicot State Park in Arkansas Monday; in Hollandale, Miss., Tuesday; and in Winnsboro, La., on Wednesday Rayder was joined by his son, 15-year-old Christopher for two of the races.

Christopher, who is a member of the Houston High cross country team, ran the weekend races. He’s done back-to-back marathons

“It’s deinitely mental,” said Christopher, who holds several state records. “When you get to, like, 20 miles on the irst one, you’re thinking not only are you tired now, but tomorrow you’re going to be tired and exhausted when you get to the start line.”

Unlike his son, Rob has no illusions about winning any of the races. For him, the thrill comes from completing each marathon.

Rayder didn’t start running marathons until he turned 40 in 2008, as a means to lose weight and begin a healthier lifestyle. His irst race was the St. Jude Memphis Marathon. Since then, Rayder said, he has run in more than 85 marathons.

“I couldn’t wait for the next one,” Rayder said. “I started signing up for these races all over the place where I could aford to go to, or had the time to go to.”

“All the world’s a stage,” William Shakespeare wrote in “As You Like It,” and in recent years directors have looked to prove him right by adapting the Bard’s works to a variety of settings embracing diferent times, cultures and locations — from a New York-mobster “Macbeth” to a teen-comedy “Taming of the Shrew.”

Now Germantown Community Theatre is getting in on the act with its unique trailer-park take on Shakespeare’s classic comedy “Twelfth Night,” which opened last Friday and runs Thursdays-Sundays through April 27.

“There’s a long tradition of putting Shakespeare on Mars, anywhere to shake it up, make it more accessible and fun,” says Germantown Community Theatre interim managing director Renee Davis Brame, who herself has been involved in Las Vegas- and postapocalyptic-set Shakespeare productions.

“With ours, we’re deinitely making fun of that trailer-

On April 12, Germantown held its annual Easter Egg Hunt at Cameron Brown Park. To simply refer to it as an egg hunt, however, is not to do it justice.

Dubbed the Germantown Easter Eggstravaganza, the event featured a petting zoo, inlatable bounce houses and ive egg hunts. Four of the egg hunts were separated by age groups while an extra egg hunt was added this year for those with special needs.

With the help of the Germantown Parks Department and numerous volunteers, the annual event saw participation of historic size.

In the News BOARD OF MAYOR AND ALDERMEN

Agricultural burn ban passes second reading Would make it illegal to burn fields in city

By Lela Garlington garlington@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2349

When a Collierville farmer tried to get a local permit to burn of the stubble of his wheat crop, he entered a gray area on who’s in charge.

Without discussion, the Collierville Board of Mayor and Al-

dermen on Monday night unanimously approved on the second of three readings an ordinance making it illegal to burn of agricultural ields within the city limits.

Unless there is an ordinance, burning permits generally fall under the Tennessee Agriculture Department’s Forestry Division. A public hearing and inal reading is set for April 28 at Collierville Town Hall.

In other action Monday, the board agreed to spend almost

Germantown Police reports

$95,000 to renovate historic Collierville High for use as the new municipal school district oice at Poplar and Walnut.

The board approved a $58,900 contract for upgrading the electrical system with Advance Electric Co., an $18,450 contract with Kiser’s Floor Fashions for new carpeting in the 5,424-squarefoot irst loor area and $17,000 for interior painting with Avant Improvement/Construction Co. School officials expect to move from Town Hall space into

the district oice by mid-May. On the ag-burn issue, Collierville Fire Chief Jerry Crawford said smoke from a burning wheat field last June seeped into Kroger’s and HomeGoods stores on Houston Levee near Winchester, forcing customers to leave, only to ind lying ash and embers loating in the air.

“It was setting the ire alarms of” inside HomeGoods, Crawford said. In addition, callers were overloading the dispatch center.

Firefighters ended up putting the ire out because it had jumped the controlled burn’s perimeter in a few spots.

Like most other towns and cities in Shelby County, Collierville has a “no burn” ordinance, but it does not regulate farm or agriculture burns.

When the town had fewer residents and more farms 20 years ago, it wasn’t as much of a problem. “It’s time to curtail it,” said Collierville Fire Marshal Buddy Billings.

Public servant Collierville’s Town Administrator Lewellen tapped for service award

By Lela Garlington garlington@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2349

Typically a city manager stays in the job an average of 6.9 years, according to the International City/County Management Association. Not Collierville Town Administrator James Lewellen — he has staying power.

Since coming to Collierville in October 1995, Lewellen has worked under three mayors, seen the town’s population more than double — from 18,000-plus to 46,000, and the budget grow from $29.5 million to more than $60 million.

For his eforts, Lewellen, 57, is being recognized as a top public servant by the Rotary Club of East Memphis. He and Shelby County Criminal Court Judge Chris Craft are the recipients of the 11th Bobby Dunavant Public Servant Award.

They will be honored at a luncheon Monday with Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., the keynote speaker.

Lewellen is the irst city manager to be selected for the award that carries the name of the longtime Shelby County probate court clerk who spent almost 40 years in public service.

The award is based on such characteristics as honesty, accessibility, unpretentiousness and empathy, and goes to a local elected and nonelected oicial.

“I have never had to worry about what James was telling me whether I liked it or not,” said Collierville Mayor Stan Joyner.

Added Vice Mayor Maureen Fraser, “His leadership, commitment and vision are key reasons why Collierville has grown to be known as one of the most desirable communities in Tennessee to live and work.’’

Retired town attorney Tom Cates describes Lewellen’s leadership style as calm, thoughtful and persuasive.

“I feel like he dodges and weaves as well as anybody can with the position he is in,” Cates said. “He gets along with everybody.”

Lewellen, a native of Ripley, Miss., graduated from Mississippi State University with an undergraduate degree in education and a master’s in public policy and public administration.

Before coming to Collierville, he worked as a chief planner for Germantown for four years before being promoted to assistant city administrator there in 1993.

“He’s highly respected across the state with other city managers,” said Germantown Administrator Patrick Lawton. Jimmy Lott, Collierville’s longest-serving alderman, likes how Lewellen goes about the job. No matter who is mayor, Lott says, Lewellen “doesn’t get involved in the politics of the town.”

Lewellen says being the youngest of eight children with three brothers and four sisters served him well. “I learned early on not to get into every ight that comes along.”

When asked about his leadership style, Lewellen said jokingly, “My style? I like to intimidate and harass.” But he settled on “participatory.”

“I don’t tell people what to do.

I like to ask a lot of questions. I want people to be creative and not be afraid to speak up.”

Judge orders briefs in Joe Brown case

The Nashville judge assigned to preside over former judge Joe Brown’s contempt-of-court appeal, stemming from an outburst by Brown last month in Juvenile Court, ordered both sides to ile “concise” briefs by the end of Thursday.

Senior Judge Paul Summers iled an order Monday asking for briefs on whether the appeal belongs in the local Criminal Court or to an appellate court. He scheduled a May 2 hearing on the matter.

Juvenile Court Magistrate Harold “Hal” Horne found Brown, a retired judge and TV personality, in contempt and sentenced him to ive days in jail on March 24 after Brown called the court “a circus” and a “sorry operation” in front of a crowded courtroom.

As originally written, Shakespeare’s gender bender about shipwrecked twins and their comical pursuit of love was set in Illyria, a land based on an ancient Balkan state but that in the Elizabethan playwright’s imagination became a wholly original place out of time with Italian and English characteristics.

Alex Green of Cordova and Sarah Barlow of Collierville were named winners of the Melody Weintraub award for exhibiting Christian leadership.

Presenting the award is Melody Weintraub.

BRIARCREST CHRISTIAN

Two students named winners of Melody Weintraub award

By Beth Rooks Special to The Weekly

The Melody Weintraub Drama Award was established in 2007 in honor of Melody Weintaub, who founded Briarcrest Christian Middle School’s theatre program.

It is bestowed upon two eighth grade students who exhibit Christian leadership both on and ofstage and who demonstrate a lifestyle that indicates performance and service for an “Audience of One.” This award comes also with a cash award that will be applied to their Briarcrest tuition next year.

The Melody Weintraub Award Winners are announced every year at the close of the inal musical production.

Their names will be permanently engraved

on the award plaque. The 2013-2014, award winners were announced during the BCMS Musical, “Disney’s, The Little Mermaid, Jr.” Sarah Barlow of Collierville and Alex Green of Cordova were presented with this year’s award.

Other past award winners include: 2008: Heather Groom and Curtis Wegener.

2009: Elyssa Howell and Jay Moore.

2010: Bethany Neal and Andrew Phifer.

2011: Rachel Harvey and Mary Morgan Hawkins.

2012: Grace Harrelson and Jeremy Moore.

2013: Katherine Ann Mohler and Connor Sneathern.

Beth Rooks is the director of communications for Briarcrest Christian School.

When Sandra Abel’s daughter Jennifer joined the arts department at Germantown High School as a freshman in 1987, other parents asked Abel if she could lend a hand with a few things behind the scenes.

“I got involved with it and then I started working on the costumes and stuf for the shows, and started going to the shows, and I fell in love,” she said.

Twenty-seven years later, Abel is chairwoman for the parent support group’s largest fundraiser, an online and televised auction.

The live portion of this year’s auction was held last Saturday.

Abel said Poplar Pike Arts Guild’s goal was to raise more than $30,000 selling 300-plus items. Included in this year’s auction was a basketball signed by Memphis Grizzlies players,

paintings, purses, spa and restaurant gift certiicates, several baskets of food and goodies.

Until the students run the live show, Abel runs the entire operation out of her Germantown home. “It’s a six-month deal,” she said.

Allison Long, chairwoman of the school’s department of theater and communication arts, said the fundraiser is a vital

part of keeping the productions running.

“It’s imperative that we have something equivalent to this,” she said.

The money goes toward the department for visual arts, live shows and the TV studio. The funds also help students participate in international art exchange programs and will assist a group of students who have been invited to per-

form in Scotland next year.

Just as beneicial as the money, Long said, is the moral support. Abel is one of a handful of parents of former students who have continued their service.

“It just means the world to know that what you do, especially as a teacher, is supported by parents, and parents who continue to come back long after their children graduate.”

TENNESSEE SHAKESPEARE COMPANY

‘Taming of the Shrew’ headed to Dixon Special to The Weekly

Tennessee Shakespeare Company, the Mid-South’s professional classical theater, presents William Shakespeare’s “The Taming of the Shrew” inside Dixon Gallery and Garden’s Winegardner Auditorium from April 23-May 4.

Directed by TSC’s founder and producing artistic director Dan McCleary, this roaring 1920s production is inspired by the European traveling troupes performing Commedia dell’arte during

the life of William Shakespeare.

With a familiarity and even popularity today that rivals that of over 400 years ago, “Shrew” features a famous pair of hardheaded, though softhearted, lovers in Kate and Petruchio as they make their way from an impossible irst date, through a rushed marriage and famished honeymoon, and inally a rare comingtogether that has been staged as many ways as there are productions.

The TSC produc-

tion will place the story in 1927 Memphis in the newly-constructed home of Hugo Dixon on Park Avenue. The play begins when, Mr. Dixon’s singer for the evening becomes inebriated, passes out then awakes to a deception of his being married to Mr. Dixon’s maid and owning the estate, a traveling group of vaudevillians show up and put on a play of “mirth and merriment” for Mr. Dixon’s 200 guests.

All performances are general admission. Tickets for the April 23 and April

24 preview performances are $15. All other performances are $30. April 24 and May 1 are Free Will Kids’ Nights. Children 17 years and younger are admitted free when accompanied by a paying/ attending guardian.

All Dixon members, seniors and college students receive a 20 percent discount with a valid identiication. Purchase tickets at TSC’s oice, located at 2260 West St. in Germantown, or by calling 901759-0604, or by visiting tnshakespeare.org.

When everything was done, they gave out awards and explained to everyone why was this project is important to the community.

This project is a really good service activity because it helps other people

and makes this community better.

OLPH teacher Deidre Mangin said, “I am so proud of the structure created by our students. It was a fun theme and dificult to build. Most of all, I am proud of the maturity, teamwork and poise they displayed during the day at the University of Memphis.”

Coach Cheryl White, the lead Run Club teacher, says, “The Run Club would not happen without the parents!”

Some parents come and run with the students, but most come to set up cones, be hand markers, track monitors, give out tokens, keep the wall mileage chart up to date or clean up. Key parents send out all e-mails and communications and lineup the parent volunteers each week. Talk about dedication; 10 teachers come to Run Club each week, which is way above the call of duty. Teach-

ers lead students on both tracks and are a great inspiration to the students. Many teachers report improved student behaviors from Run Club members.

For $10 students get to run for eight weeks, receive tokens and a T-shirt and best of all, learn that being it is fun.

“The Bailey Station Run Club is one of the best things going at our school!” said principal, Cindy Tesreau.

The Run Club was one of the Healthy School Team’s goals two years ago. They were looking for a way all students could get exercise that would be affordable and convenient for all.

Parents and teachers all stepped up and made it happen.

This is the fourth semester the Run Club has been in action.

Presently, the Run Club has 150 students and about 45 parents and 14 teachers who come every Wednesday at 7:20 a.m. to run. The kindergarten through second grade students take the Bailey Bear Boogie track and kids in third through ifth run the perimeter of the school. Students run until about 8:30 a.m. and then come in the gym to have their marks on their hands counted to track their mileage and to eat a healthy breakfast

Students take part in Canstruction Jr. competition at U of M For the second consecutive year, eighth grade students from Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic School participated in Canstruction Jr. sponsored by the University of Memphis College of Engineering and the American Society of Civil Engineers.

Canstruction is a team challenge event that consists of making a themed structure out of cans. This year, the OLPH theme was “Make Hunger Extinct” and students decided to build a long-necked three-dimensional dinosaur with a wall in the back that spelled out “EXTINCT.” The eighth-graders had a build space that was only 8x8. The structure had to be self-supporting and could only use the food containers and a bit of tape. The main goal of the event is to collect cans for the Memphis Food Bank. The teams raised money to buy their cans and had to use creativity and engineering skills to create their design. Eighth-grader Nico Helms was the team captain.

In the News GERMANTOWN HIGH SCHOOL

Senior art show to run until April 25

Longtime Collierville resident Lecile Harris has been working in rodeos for 59 years. At 77, he’s the secondoldest rodeo clown, behind the 80-year-old Rick “the Agin’ Cajun” Young.

Special to The Weekly

CHRIS DESMOND SPECIAL TO THE COMMERCIAL APPEAL

COLLIERVILLE

Rodeo regular Harris is second-oldest rodeo clown in country

By Lela Garlington garlington@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2349

When people talk about, “That clown in Town Hall,” they may not be referring to any of Collierville’s elected oicials.

With his signature sad-sack clown face, checkerboard shirt and size 56 Wrangler jeans, Lecile Harris may be the only local clown who has a 16-by20-inch portrait gracing Town Hall.

As a former bull rider and bullighter, Harris has been making people smile and laugh at his antics as a rodeo clown for 59 years.

His height prevented the 6-foot-5 Harris from being a successful bull rider.

He spent most of his career in the bone-breaking, body-bruising business of bull ighting. His maneuvers often worked, but when they didn’t, the sawedof tips of a bull’s horns made biscuit-sized bruises.

In his 36 years of ighting 36,000-plus bulls, Harris stayed as close to the bull as possible to avoid it building up momentum.

While today’s bullighters wear shin guards, Kevlar vests and hip pads, Harris’ only protection was his quick cutaway football patterned moves, long underwear and baggy pants.

“It is very unusual to be doing clowning for this long. He certainly is in an elite group,” said Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association spokesman Jim Bainbridge. Named the association’s Clown of the Year four times in the 1990s, Harris was inducted into the Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame in 2007.

Now 77, Harris last illed in as a bullighter when

he was 71.

In his prime, Harris knew he couldn’t outrun 1,800 pounds of charging dynamite on four hooves.

“There’s a split second to make your move,” he said.

“If you move too quick, he’s going to cut you of and freight train you. It’s your job to make yourself a more desirable target than the cowboy.”

But Harris also learned even clowning can be dangerous.

Four years ago, a bull slipped out of his chute and into the arena in Roanoke, Va. “I was working the crowd. I think he (bull) said, ‘I can get the old guy. He’s not looking.’ He hit me from behind,” said Harris who was knocked out.

With his high threshold of pain, even that failed to convince him to retire from the dusty rodeo life he loves.

For a while, his son, Matt Harris, played his comedy sidekick.

Two years ago his son retired.

The elder Harris said with a laugh: “Now what’s wrong with that picture?”

Instead of 140 rodeos a year, Harris has cut his workload in half as the second-oldest rodeo clown behind 80-year-old Rick “The Agin’ Cajun” Young who hits about 14 shows a year.

“Lecile is one of the best in the country,” said Young.

“We’re becoming a lost breed. We keep the rodeo moving. We ill in the dead spots but we’re not dead yet.”

Regarding his Town Hall photo, he said town oicials asked for one about 10 years ago.

“I feel like it’s ittin’ up there — with all the rest of the clowns,” he said jokingly.

All funny stuf aside, Harris, who has lived in Collierville since he was 4, signed his portrait, “I’m proud to say, Collierville is my hometown.”

ST. LOUIS CATHOLIC SCHOOL

Student art displayed at Paragon Bank

By Isabelle Blais Special to The Weekly

Paragon National Bank is currently showcasing artwork by students from St. Louis Catholic School for the public to preview at its Saddle Creek location, 7600 Poplar until April 30.

The bank worked with the school’s art teacher, Robin Durden, to select and display artwork by 11 third grade students and 10 junior high students.

St. Louis is the seventh local school art exhibit that Paragon has hosted during the 2013-2014 school year.

“Showcasing artwork created by gifted, local artists has been such a treat for our company,” said Robert Shaw, chief executive oicer of Paragon National Bank. “Each year, we continue to be inspired by the talent these exceptional young students have and are thrilled to feature that of St. Louis School during the month of April.”

The third grade student

artwork that’s currently on display features drawings of each student’s stufed animal from observation.

During this project, students learned how to mix new colors and how to layer oil pastels. The junior high students created artwork inspired by Austrian artist and architect, Wundertwasser. The students created a tree with repeated patterns and bright colors, similar to what one would ind on Wundertwasser’s paintings and architectural pieces.

The work was created

Good Health NUTRITION

Eat your way to radiant skin with nutritious food choices

By Leslie Schilling Special to The Commercial Appeal

Some link an increase in skin cancer to increased use of indoor tanning while others say radiation from the beds is no more harmful than the sun.

GOLD STANDARD Use of tanning beds by young women, minors on the rise While some dermatologists decry the use of tanning beds, members of the tanning industry are quick to point out that, like exposure to the sun, tanning should be done in moderation.

By Erinn Figg Special to The Commercial Appeal

As the French say, “il faut soufrir pour etre belle.”

One must sufer to be beautiful.

Although this is an old saying, a recent dermatologic study has demonstrated that some people inadvertently take the concept literally to meet society’s gold standard of beauty.

Worldwide, the number of skin cancer cases due to tanning has oicially exceeded the number of lung cancer cases due to smoking, according to a study released Jan. 29 by JAMA Dermatology.

In addition, 419, 254 new skin cancer cases in the United States can be attributed to indoor tanning each year, and 6,199 of them are malignant melanoma cases.

Every hour, someone in the United States dies from malignant melanoma, the American Cancer Society estimates.

And those who tan in indoor tanning machines are 74 percent more likely to develop melanoma than those who have never tanned indoors.

Scared? “Good,” says Dr. Kathryn Schwarzenberger, chair of the new Kaplan-Amonette Dermatology Department at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center.

“As a dermatologist, I hate indoor tanning because every day I see what I believe to be are the consequences of it,” she said. “Some days, it’s just young women with much more sun damage than they should have at their ages. But the most devastating cases are young women who walk in and take of their clothing and I see a skin cancer that I know is going to kill them.”

Before joining UTHSC, Schwarzenberger was professor of medicine in the Division of Dermatology at the University of Vermont College of Medicine.

While there, she was among a group of dermatologists who, in 2012, helped pass legislation banning the use of tanning beds by minors in Vermont. Currently,

California, Illinois, Nevada, Texas and Vermont ban the use of tanning beds for all minors younger than 18. In Tennessee, minors need parental consent to use tanning beds.

Despite laws and research, the JAMA Dermatology study shows that use of tanning beds among young women and minors is on the rise: 55 percent of university students and 19.3 percent of adolescents reported that they had been exposed to indoor tanning in their lifetime, up from 43.1 percent of university students and 18.3 percent of adolescents the year before.

“I think at this point nobody can successfully argue that there isn’t a link between melanoma and tanning,” Schwarzenberger said. “In 2009, the World Health Organization reclassiied indoor tanning as a Class 1 carcinogen, which means that it is known to cause cancer.”

In response to that classiication, the International Tanning Association President Dan Humiston noted in a news release that other items in the Class 1 carcinogen category are the actual sun, red wine, beer and salted ish.

“The ITA has always emphasized the importance of moderation when it comes to UV light from either the sun or a tanning bed,” Humiston wrote.

Tom Barzizza, spokesperson for Palm Beach Tan, which has franchise locations throughout the country, as well as locally in Memphis, Germantown, Collierville and Cordova, echoes the moderation message.

“Palm Beach Tan has always advised our members on the importance of moderation and responsible tanning when it comes to UV light from either the sun or a sun bed,” Barzizza said. “In addition, in a controlled environment such as Palm Beach Tan, trained operators properly maintain UV tanning equipment and control all tanning exposure times to minimize a client’s risk of overexposure and sunburn.”

Palm Beach Tan ofers both sunbed tanning and spray tanning, with sunbed tanning being the more popular option, Barzizza said. A “cocktail” of using both methods also is gaining in popularity. Per state regulations, the salon requires written parental consent from customers younger than 18 who want to tan in the beds.

“We also feature an industry-irst ‘Under 18 Sunless Tanning Membership,’ which is discounted so our under-18 customers can enjoy unlimited spray tanning for the price of our most economical sunbed membership,” said Barzizza, who added that less than oneand-a-half percent of Palm Beach Tan’s customers are minors.

Sunless tanning has Schwarzenberger’s blessing, although she says people need to remember that a spray tan doesn’t protect the skin from sun damage.

“It’s not without the risk of complications — some people do have allergic reactions to the chemicals used. But other than that, it’s generally a pretty safe and benign temporary color on your skin,” she said.

When you put good stuf in, you tend to get good stuf out. This is true for so many things in life, such as quality-time in a relationship, whole foods in a meal, and, of particular interest this month, nutrients’ impact on skin health. You’ve probably heard about inlammation in the media or even at your doctor’s oice. Inlammation, in short, is when your tissues become irritated and disturbed in some way. In addition to links to several chronic diseases, inlammation and nutrient deiciencies have been connected to skin issues like adult acne, rosacea, and even eczema.

If you’re trying to improve your diet with complexion in mind, here are a few research-based suggestions. Diets high in antioxidants, omega-3 fatty acids, and vitamin D have been associated with reduced inlammation and healthier skin.

Start by focusing on getting a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables.

Berries, particularly blueberries and cranberries, pack a powerful antioxidant punch. Other fruits and veggies to include in your weekly menu are carrots, sweet potatoes, tomatoes (not just the red ones), apples, onions, garlic, and citrus fruits. If you are adding fresh fruits and vegetables to your diet, it’s hard to go wrong.

You don’t want to miss out on the glowing beneits of a diet high in omega-3 fats either. Omega-3 fats have not only been linked to reduced inlammation and beautiful skin, but also have been associated with lower risk of cardiovascular disease and depression. So as you’re planning meals make sure to include omega3-rich foods like salmon, halibut, and fresh tuna. Given that fresh seafood isn’t always that easy to come by in our area, you can add foods fortiied with omega-3s like eggs, organic milk, and some juices. Don’t forget to throw some walnuts in your snack bag for omega-3s on the go.

Vitamin D not only plays a critical role in promoting bone health, immune function and reduced inlammation; studies suggest deiciency is linked to several types of cancers.

We still have so much to learn about this powerful nutrient and are realizing that even a well-balanced diet may not provide all we need. As we protect our skin with clothing, by staying indoors, and with sunscreen moisturizers, we also block the absorption of this crucial “sunshine vitamin.” Food sources of vitamin D include wild-caught salmon, catish, cod liver oil, mushrooms, fortiied dairy and eggs.

Remember, quality ingredients inside tend to produce better quality outside. A diet high in whole foods and reduced in processed foods is the way to go for an overall quality diet.

Berries, particularly blueberries and cranberries, pack a powerful antioxidant punch.

OUTFITTER

THE BEST COLORS FOR YOUR SKIN TONE Diferent colors look better on diferent people, and a lot of that has to do with undertones in the skin.

The easiest way to igure out your skin’s undertone is to lip over your wrist and check out your veins. Do they appear more bluish-green or more bluish-purple?

If your answer is bluish-green, you most likely have warm undertones in your skin.

The yellows in your skin allow you to wear earth tones, as well as reds, yellows and oranges, very well. You may also prefer gold jewelry to silver.

But if you look better in silver, and have a bluish-purple tint to your veins, you most likely have cool undertones. Members of the cool family will shine in metallic colors, as well as in blues, greens, and violets.

That’s not to say that a person who has warm undertones can never wear purple.

Knowing your undertone simply helps to explain why some colors look diferent on your skin than on a hanger.

If you’ve never considered your skin’s undertone while shopping, try to incorporate a few colors from your spectrum of the color wheel into your wardrobe.

Depending on the results, you may start buying clothes with an eye for your most complimentary colors.

Prep Sports Briarcrest christian school

coach Munro ofers spirit of hope, knack to lead

By Timberly Moore t.moore@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2445

At 18, Gareth Munro stepped onto a professional soccer field in Scotland and played in front of a crowd of 36,000 people.

“I’ve never been so nervous,” said Briarcrest Christian School head soccer coach Munro, now 31.

“I was 18 years old playing against the guys I watched on TV as a kid.”

Munro’s team lost to the No. 1-ranked soccer team in the country that day, but he takes that memory with him to work today.

“I use (memories) to encourage myself to work hard every day,” said the Cordova resident. “You want to work hard for the kids. You want to go home thinking, I gave my best today.”

After playing soccer professionally for four years, Munro enrolled at Union University in Jackson, Tenn., where his soc-

cer team went undefeated at home his last 2½ years in school.

Now he’s working toward that kind of record for the Saints — whose current record is 1-7. The team won three games last season despite having 11 seniors on its roster.

“When they brought me in, they sat me down and told me this was going to be a big challenge,” he said.

“They were worried if we would even have a team.”

When the school year started, 18 students signed up. Weeks later, the team grew to 31 student athletes and Munro was able to form a junior-varsity team.

“I’m a full year ahead of where I wanted to be as a coach,” Munro said.

Beth Rooks, Briarcrest director of communications, said the students are drawn to Munro.

“He has the right heart for this,” she said. “He can attract students to want to learn to play soccer and build them into a great

the locker room before the first game. “Sam was so discouraged last year that he almost threw in the towel. I am so very grateful that he didn’t. To see him so blessed is a gift.”

Munro was honored that she took the time to write.

“I took $2 out of my pocket to buy hangers,” he said. “I would’ve paid $200 just to hear that.”

Mindy Johnson, mother of sophomore soccer player Sam Johnson, sent Munro an e-mail after seeing how Munro interacted with the players.

“I could not be happier (with) the way you are handling the soccer team,” she said in the email after Munro got the team practice uniforms and hung their jerseys in

Prep Sports TRACK & FIELD

Records fall at massive Houston Track Classic

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

There was no room for half-stepping in the boys 400 meters at the Houston Track Classic last Saturday.

And the fastest stepper of all was Southwind’s Jimmy Keys.

Competing against a state-caliber ield, Keys, a senior, broke the meet record, coming home in a time of 48.31 seconds.

The second-, third- and fourth-place runners — Malik Elion of Houston, Germantown’s Jalen Edwards and Briarcrest’s Jay Robinson — also broke the meet record and the top ive inishers — including Terrell Jackson of MUS — came in at under 49 seconds.

“I’m satisied. I give myself a ‘B,’” said Keys, who later in the day won the 200 in a time of 22.01.

“I’m just trying to come out here at set a good standard. I’m still trying to come back from my leg injury (during last year’s track season) but I’m happy.”

Southwind coach Cedric Miller was also quite pleased, tweeting after

the meet, “that was the old Jimmy Keys today.”

The race was the highlight of what organizers believe to be the biggest meet in the state with over 1,000 athletes competing.

“It was an amazing ield,” said Elion, who will run for Tennessee next season.

“I was kind of shocked (at the speed) but I enjoyed it. When we hit that homestretch it was like ‘go.’ It’s still April ... somebody might pull out a 47 for all we know.”

Elion also inished second in the 200, helping Houston win the boys team championship, 11764.5 over CBHS. The Mustangs had irstplace inishes from Wesley White (110 and 300 hurdles), Sam Kempka (discus) and the 800 and 3,200-meter relay teams.

Cordova’s Mo Maat, who came within onetenth of a second of a state record in the 100 last week, won the event in 10.79. Bolton’s Artavius Gray broke the meet record in the triple jump by almost two feet (48-10.5) while also winning the long jump.

The boys 3,200 was also a highlight, with White

Station’s Denver Hudsmith holding of a lastlap charge by Drew Carf of Collierville to win in 10.09.80.

Whitehaven won the girls championship, 10397 over Houston.

It’s the second major team victory of the year for the Tigers, who also took the title at the prestigious Sugar Bowl Classic in New Orleans last month.

The Tigers got another strong performance from junior Maia McCoy. The defending AAA state champion in the 100 and 200 set meet records in winning both races Saturday, inishing the 100 in 11.9 and the 200 in 24.36.

She also ran on the Tigers’ winning 800-meter relay team.

“I think I surprised myself and my coaches,” said McCoy, last year’s Best of the Preps girls track athlete of the year.

“Last year, I didn’t get into the 11s and the 24s this early. In the 100 I think I could have gotten out of the blocks a little better.

And I’m just getting my form better after basketball season.”

Whitehaven also got strong performances from Kiara Rhodes, who won

Reece Jankowy, a senior, heads away a pass for the Dragons during the match against Hendersonville.

Last Wednesday’s opening night of the annual Rivals Classic soccer showcase matched the area’s two most successful schools, Christian Brothers and Houston.

Or as Mustangs coach David Wolf put it to one of his players during a break in the action, “hey man, this is big boy soccer.”

The game did not disappoint either, and the Brothers and Houston battled to a 1-1 tie. Houston, which was No. 1 in last week’s Commercial Appeal Super Six, was 7-1-1 after the match, while third-ranked CBHS was 5-2-2.

“I think it was an appropriate score,” said Wolf.

“These are the two best programs in the area. I told them after the game that I thought it would be a 0-0 game. Possession was about 50-50.”

Predictably, Brothers coach Rogerio Lima saw things a little diferently.

“I feel like we should have won the game,” he said. “When they scored, they were playing better than we were and when we scored we were playing better.

“But if you look at the whole game, I feel like we were attacking more and creating the better chances.”

After a relatively quiet opening 40 minutes, the match roared to life in the second half.

Jeremy Albright made a nice save to deny Brothers freshman Cole Cannon three minutes after the restart.

The Mustangs were on the board two minutes later. William Keenan laid the ball of to Logan Thornburg, who had made a nice overlapping run.

Thornburg shot straight at CBHS goalkeeper Nick Mathews, who could only delect it.

Josh Moss alertly pounced on the rebound to give Houston the lead.

CBHS began to throw players forward and Julian Raney got an apparent equalizer in the 70th minute that was disallowed because of an ofsides call.

“It seems like every game there’s been calls that have gone against us,” said Lima. “We have to play through that adversity.”

There was no question about the tying goal. Barrett Mills crossed to the far post for Nicholas Pietrangelo, who headed it home with three minutes left in the match.

“Most of my guys are two years younger than his guys and this is the kind of game that helps them to grow into men,” said Wolf.

“But in a game of this magnitude, you have to inish.

It doesn’t matter how old you are.”

NO. 1 VS. NO. 2 The top-ranked Mustangs and No. 2 Dragons will play at Houston Middle School April 22 at 7 p.m.

SOFTBALL

Collierville team has championship aspirations behind top pitchers

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

In high school softball, a team with one star pitcher has a great chance to win. A team with two has a great chance to win a whole lot of games.

And if a team has a pair of pitchers like Collierville’s Bayleigh Wisher and Kelsey Gross, it has a realistic chance of winning some championship hardware.

“It’s really a blessing for us to have two great pitchers,” said longtime Dragons coach Mike Bradley. “In the past we’ve had one, but never two. I tell the team when you go to church on Sundays to put an extra dollar in the collection plate because we’re very blessed.”

Wisher, a junior right-hander, and Gross, a sophomore righthander, have been the mainstays for a Dragons team that is ranked irst in The Commercial Appeal’s Super Six. After qualifying for the AAA state tournament last season — and returning home quickly after losing the irst two games in the double-elimination tournament — Collierville, with a record of 24-4-1, looks like a good bet to return.

Numbers tell part of the story.

Wisher, who was a Best of the Preps player of the year inalist in 2013, is 16-1 with a 1.23 earned run average. Gross is not far behind at 8-3-1 with a 1.65 ERA. Together, they’ve pitched every inning for the Dragons this year.

Collierville pitcher Kelsey Gross warms up before taking the mound recently. Gross and teammate Bayleigh Wisher provide the Dragons with a potent pitching staf.

WILLIAM DESHAZER/THE COMMERCIAL APPEAL

Collierville’s Bayleigh Wisher, middle, is one of two outstanding pitcher’s on Coach Mike Bradley’s varsity softball team. Wisher was last season’s Best of the Preps softball player of the year.

THE COMMERCIAL APPEAL FILES

Wisher and Gross were at their best during a tournament earlier this month in Ooltewah, Tenn., against some of the best competition in the state. In six games, they combined to allow just two runs and 20 hits as Collierville inished in second place.

“They’re both such great competitors,” said Bradley. “Neither one of them wants to give the batter an inch. It’s kind of hard to explain, but when the lights come on, they just compete.

“Bayleigh just gets so ready to play and Kelsey’s kind of in the same mold.”

And their contrasting styles help keep batters of balance.

“Kelsey is more of a power pitcher, while Bayleigh is more of a movement pitcher,” said catcher Jacqueline Conlan. “I’ve seen (batters get intimidated) a couple of times. But I think they’re both just really good leaders. They really pick us up when we’re down and tell us to

stay up and stay positive.”

Bradley said both players have a similar arsenal of pitches.

Wisher’s go-to pitch is an inside fastball — “ever since I was little” — while Gross will use her fastball to set up her of-speed pitch and then come in on the batter with a nasty screwball.

Gross said their development is not surprising, considering how far back they go.

“We actually took our irst pitching class together when she was nine and I was eight,” she said. “We’ve always had a friendly competition between us but we know we can come back and we’ll each have the other’s back.”

In addition to their pitching, both have also been terrors at the plate, particularly Wisher, who plays irst base when Gross pitches and vice versa. She leads the area with 10 home runs while driving in 39 runs and batting .576.

“I kind of am (surprised) that

I’m hitting so well,” said Wisher.

“Last year I only hit one home run (for Collierville) and two (including ofseason ball) so to hit (10) in half-a-season is kind of crazy.

“I’m just really conident in my hitting. I’m not going up there trying to hit home runs.

I’m just thinking ‘line drive, line drive, line drive.’ ” Said Bradley, “Bayleigh’s just the total package. She could really play any position on the ield.”

And unlike some talented players who can be less-thanpatient with teammates who aren’t on their level, Wisher is a consummate example of the star who leads.

“Last year at the state tournament we were all so young and really nervous,” she said. “But the experience helped my selfconfidence coming into this year.

“With me being a veteran on the team I just go out and do my thing and work hard. But I also try to encourage the other girls.”

Gross — the team’s cleanup hitter — follows a similar ap-

proach at the plate, where she’s hitting .448 with three homers and 19 RBI. “When I’m pitching I focus on pitching and try not to worry about hitting,” she said. “And when I’m hitting I don’t worry about pitching. I just think about getting a base hit.”

Having Gross totally healthy has been another huge factor.

She missed the last half of the 2013 season after injuring her thumb.

“I was ielding grounders with my dad and a joint popped,” she said. “I had surgery on April 15th and now I have three screws in my thumb. It’s fully healed but I can still feel it when the weather changes.”

Despite that injury, Collierville was still able to reach the state tournament last year, thanks to Wisher shouldering the entire pitching load. Bradley acknowledged that it was tough on his star. But just having that experience has helped fuel the team’s desire to get back.

And this time, they plan on being fully loaded.

Business FITNESS

Orangetheory Fitness opening soon in Germantown

By Matt Woo woo@commercialappeal.com 901-529-6453

After four years of expansion across the nation, Orangetheory Fitness is muscling its way into the Tennessee market.

Beginning this month, the Florida-based itness center franchise will open the irst of several planned locations across Tennessee. The Brentwood location will open its doors next week, followed by the Germantown workout facility, located at Forest Hill Irene and Poplar, on May 8.

For co-owner Greg McGowan, operating his own business has always been a dream. After 25 years in the health and itness profession, it was only natural for the Memphis native to start his own workout facility.

“I always wanted to ind a business that was community based and it was a great idea to bring

Construction for the Germantown Orangetheory Fitness was recently completed and occupies the former Anytime Fitness in the Stone Creek Shopping Center. The 3,000-square-foot building ofers two itness areas — one for cardio and the other for weights — along

with locker rooms and showers.

Where Orangetheory difers from other itness centers is its unique, 60-minute workout regimen, said head trainer Dan Margritz. Each class focuses on heart rate-based treadmill interval training mixed with indoor rowing, SBT bands (TRX bands) and free weights. Before every class, each partici-

The key to burning between 600 to 1,000 calories in 60 minutes, Margritz explained, is interval

training. The unique program also helps burn calories up to 36 hours post workouts.

“Interval training helps burn three times as many calories,” he said. “I believe in being eicient. If you do it the right way you can work everything in 60 minutes.”

Each person’s workout

routine also can be customized for people of all itness levels, including beginners or ultra athletes. So far, Margritz said, the responses have been positive.

“Everyone likes it and is excited,” Margritz said.

Family LIVING WITH CHILDREN

Daughter may find she likes laughter

By John Rosemond McClatchy-Tribune News Service

4-year-old daughQ Our ter has a huge problem

PHOTOS BY ERIC HYLDEN/GRAND FORKS HERALD/MCT

Nick and Lexi Schneider, 8-year-old twins, help with chores around their home in Grand Forks, N.D. “They just know it’s expected of them,” says their mom, Kristine. She and husband Patrick don’t pay the kids. “We tell them, ‘these are things we have to do to live in the house.’ ”

CHILDREN & CHORES Household tasks teach kids responsibility, life skills, being part of team

By Pamela Knudson Grand Forks Herald

GRAND FORKS, N.D. — Lexi and Nick Schneider, 8-year-old twins, are used to doing chores around their home in Grand Forks; they’ve been doing them for half of their lives.

Nick takes out the trash and recycling, and Lexi helps with laundry, said their mom, Kristine Schneider. They both vacuum.

“They don’t always readily do their chores,” she said, “but they know it has to be done. They just know it’s expected of them.”

When the twins were about 4, Schneider posted a list of daily tasks the twins were supposed to do, such as picking up their toys and clearing their plates from the table.

She wanted to “instill responsibility and a work ethic” at a young age, she said. For each completed “job,” they earned a star on the “chore chart.”

To motivate them, she kept a basket of “prizes,” including little toys and books.

If they completed their chores, they could pick a prize, she said. “I always tried to have cool stuf in the basket — nothing expensive, but things I knew they liked.”

How parents approach the idea of having kids do chores varies with each family and may be changing in American households, said Dawnita Nilles, a doctoral student in the University of North Dakota’s Department of Teaching and Learning.

It raises questions about what tasks, if any, children should do and whether payment or other rewards should be given.

When raising kids, some parents follow the example they grew up with, Nilles said.

Others do too, but with modiication. Some don’t require their kids to do chores at all.

Schneider said she “absolutely” did chores growing up.

“I don’t remember what age I started.

It seems like something I was always expected to do,” she said, “but I was never compensated for it.”

Her husband, Joe, was compensated, “but not very much,” for mowing the lawn and taking out the trash, among other tasks.

Lexi Schneider assists with the laundry after school at the family home in Grand Forks, N.D.

Unlike parents of the past, parents today may have diferent expectations about chores, she said.

“It’s not so much that kids today (are required) to do less chores but that kids are busier. My kids are involved in more activities than I was at their age.”

Those activities also provide valuable lessons for the daughters, ages 12 and 16, whom she and her husband, Matt, are raising, she said.

“It’s just the nature of our society today. I think we’re hugely tired in our lives.

There can be a sense of, ‘it’s just easier if I do it myself.’”

Parents need to consider, “Are we doing enough to teach our kids how to do what’s needed to run a household … and the skills to do that?” she said. “A child isn’t born knowing how to do laundry. They won’t learn it by me doing it … .”

Generally, child development experts conirm that “chores are deinitely a ben-

eit to young kids,” Nilles said. “I haven’t come across any drawbacks.”

Parents can introduce this concept of chores early, even at 16 months old, for example, “by helping them put all their blocks away,” she said.

“You can start as soon as they begin asking questions and wanting to help. … I’m a big believer in following cues from the child.”

Doing chores gives children “a sense of responsibility, of being a member of a family,” she said, “and it’s an authentic way of learning how a household runs.”

Children also gain “a sense of being a part of a team that is working in the family,” she said. “They’re learning skills they’ll need later on in life.”

As adults, they will have a basic framework for how they function in other settings, she said.

“They’ll think, ‘I’m a member, and I have a responsibility for what happens here in the workforce or school.’ Everyone has a role.”

Jennifer Dame’s three daughters — Madison, 10, Nicolette, 8, and Delanee, 3 — have been doing chores since they were old enough to start putting toys away and other tasks, their mom said.

At a young age, “they love doing those kinds of things,” said Dame, of Grand Forks. “They are mimicking you, and want to help.”

Her daughters are responsible for tasks such as doing dishes, putting away their laundered clothes, vacuuming, cleaning bathrooms and taking out garbage, she said. “They’re in charge of taking their (clothes) hampers to the laundry. We help the 3-year-old.”

Doing such tasks “helps them realize that it’s part of teamwork.”

“I tell them, ‘we don’t hire a maid; we have children,’” she said with a laugh.

When asked about chores at home, “some of my kids’ friends say, ‘no, the maid does that,’ ” Dame said. “A lot of them are surprised that my kids vacuum, dust and clean bathrooms.”

She and her husband, Patrick, do not pay their children for doing chores, she said.

“We tell them, ‘these are things we have to do to live in the house.’”

with being laughed at. She loves to be goofy and do funny things, but as soon as someone, including one of us, laughs at her, she becomes upset. She will say “Don’t laugh!” or “I don’t want you to laugh at me!”

We explain that we aren’t laughing at her, but at the funny things she does. We’ve also told her that we laugh because we are happy and having a good time with her. Is there a diferent way to explain this to her so that she will understand that we aren’t trying to be mean or tease her in anyway?

First, A Maybe. background.

some

A child’s social personality is forming at this age.

As such, it’s not unusual for a 3- or 4-year-old to be somewhat “conlicted” when it comes to personality traits like introversion versus extroversion. Some 4-year-olds, for example, are very self-conscious and therefore easily embarrassed when people pay attention to things they’re doing. Others are hams and love to perform and make people laugh.

It sounds to me like your daughter is caught betwixt and between these two opposing traits, as if she can’t make up her mind whether she wants to be a comedian or not. If you only continue to muddle through these upsets as you’re doing this little bump in the road will smooth itself out within a year or two. There may be some things you can do to hurry the process along.

Obviously, trying to explain your laughter after she has become upset is not working; therefore, I recommend that you be more proactive. I call the approach “Striking While the Iron is Cold” — in other words, deal with the problem or issue when it’s not taking place and hasn’t for a while. Sit down with her at a time when the home has been calm for a while and this particular issue hasn’t happened for a day or more.

Tell her that you want to talk about her reaction to people who laugh when she does funny things.

To help her understand that the laughter is not personal, point out times when she has laughed when someone else, even a character on one of her favorite television shows, has done something funny. Then, ask her what she wants you (and other people) to do when she does something funny.

Finger-paint décor: Creative display of kids’ art lends personal touch

By Melissa Kossler Dutton Associated Press

It’s a conundrum many parents face: what to do with the steady low of drawings, paintings, collages and more that children bring home from school and camp? Which are the keepers, and — besides sticking them up on the refrigerator with magnets — how can you display them creatively?

“They caught me throwing some away, and they were not happy about it,” Mandy Rose of Carterville, Ill., said of her three children.

Rose, who loves to decorate her house, decided to combine some of her kids’ work with professional pieces and family photos in a montage on her dining room wall. She even commissioned one of the kids to create a inger painting for an eye-catching frame she had bought.

“People always ask, ‘Did your

kids make that?’” she said. “It’s a real conversation-starter.”

Children’s art absolutely has a place in home décor and can add a welcome personal touch, said Esther Sadowsky, owner of Charm & Whimsy, an interior design irm in Jersey City, N.J. “Sometimes my jaw drops when I see the work of my customers’ children,” she said.

“Children’s art displayed in a house — it’s a home then.”

Like Rose, Sadowsky suggests displaying kids’ works in art groupings. She often lays out the pieces on the loor so she and her client can visualize how they it together.

Sadowsky has sent parents to big-box stores or craft stores to buy inexpensive frames. It’s possible to ind frames with precut mats for a more professional look. Do-it-yourselfers also can use construction paper or foam core to create mats for artwork, she said.

In her children’s playroom, Rose strung wire between two hooks and allows the kids to pick and choose what they want to hang up. The setup allows them to highlight favorite paintings and projects until they make something they like better.

Finding a temporary place like that to display work makes sense, agreed Jefry Cudlin, a professor of curatorial studies and practice at Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore.

He routinely highlights the work of his 4-year-old son, Miles, at home to show him that the family values handmade art.

Cudlin uses binder clips to hang Miles’ art in an ornate frame that usually hangs in his dining room; the clips mean he can rotate diferent pieces through the frame for an everchanging display.

Deciding which pieces to keep long-term can be a challenge,

POTTERY BARN KIDS

The Butterfly Art Cable provides a temporary way to display children’s art.

Interior designers encourage parents to create a rotating gallery in their home for kids’ creations.

Cudlin said. He looks for work that includes loved ones or commemorates a special event. He routinely frames Miles’ work and gives it to family members who are represented in the drawing.

He also inds that he appreciates many of his son’s drawings more after he asks questions about them. The art provides insights into how the preschooler views the world, and helps preserve his thoughts, Cudlin said.

“His way of thinking about

things — the way he experiences the world — you’re not going to get that back,” he said.

Cali Sanker, education coordinator of the Ohio State University Urban Arts Space in Columbus, recommends saving a child’s pieces from various ages to create an artistic record of his or her growth.

“It is not only a special way to reminisce about your child’s younger years, but a special way of embracing how much they have grown,” she said.

THE VALERO TEXAS OPEN DELIVERS $9 MILLION TO CHILDREN IN NEED As the new Valero Texas Open winner steps into his championship boots, surrounded by fans and the grandeur of the Texas Hill Country, there’s another scene that always leaves us humbled – the moment when a new charity fundraising total is announced and we realize just how far our drive will take us to improve children’s lives. This year, Valero celebrates another $9 million for charity, bringing our total to more than $90 million raised since 2002. We’re closer than ever to reaching goal in our Drive to $100 Million.

Through the support of our sponsors, dedicated fans and employees, an incredible weekend of golf becomes so much more. Thanks for fueling our most important drive of the year – the one that brings us to charity’s front door.
