In the News GERMANTOWN DISPUTE

TraVure developer fights new Fogelman plan Gill protests late plan to build new road

By Jane Roberts robertsj@commercialappeal.com, 901-529-2512

Developer Ray Gill contends his longtime plans to build two hotels, Class A oice space and a ive-deck parking garage along Poplar in Germantown have been hijacked by an eleventh-hour proposal he says would beneit a com-

petitor across the street.

Robert Fogelman, owner of Fogelman Investment Co., has offered to build a road through his company’s Westminster Townhomes, just west of Gill’s proposed TraVure development, demolishing 19 units to do it.

The Fogelman proposal contributed to yet another delay in Gill’s eforts to secure city approval for TraVure. Commissioners chose to withhold action until the November meeting.

The road will make Fogelman’s

Westminster property more valuable, giving it signalized access to Poplar and connecting it to amenities, including shopping, at TraVure. But it also would align with curb cuts with the Atrium/Forum oice buildings.

In a Nov. 2 letter to the Planning Commission, Fogelman said Gill’s project fails to address the needs of the larger area — the 58 acres Germantown designated as its western gateway for pedestriangrowth and multistory buildings.

Fogelman’s issue is the traic

circulation, which he says serves only TraVure and is “antithetical” to what was intended for the area’s overall plan. Fogleman reiterated the point saying he tried to talk with Gill to discuss options.

Gill says the Planning Commission erred by allowing Fogelman to derail TraVure’s potential approval. He says Germantown city leaders, who agreed to the light, are developing a reputation with developers for not sticking to their word. If the access moves west, Gill says property managers at the

Atrium and Forum would beneit.

Alderman Forrest Owens, the board liaison to the Planning Commission, agrees Gill has worked to accommodate requests.

As Fogelman notes in his letter, the approved design of the western gateway permits him to develop up to 500,000 square feet of Class A oice space on the Westminster property. Gill’s plan in TraVure calls for 150,000 square feet of prime oice space, plus a 465-car garage and the hotels.

Healthy bargain SNAP recipients can pluck deals at some Krogers, farmers markets

By Kevin McKenzie mckenzie@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2348

K

roger customers in Raleigh saw an unusual sight Nov. 4, with an undersecretary for the U.S. Department of Agriculture and executives from the AARP Foundation, UnitedHealthcare and Kroger under a canopy in the parking lot.

The oicials took turns at a podium to announce an AARP program, Fre$h Savings. It provides an incentive for people who use federal SNAP beneits, formerly known as food stamps, to buy fresh fruit and vegetables at some Memphis-area Kroger stores and farmers markets.

At the Kroger stores, when at least $10 in fresh fruits and vegetables are purchased using a SNAP electronic beneit card, a 50-percent of coupon will be issued to be used for the next purchase, oficials said.

How a Cincinnati-based Kroger executive irst met a Washingtonbased AARP executive involves the pace car for the Daytona 500 in February 2014.

Jim Lutzweiler, AARP’s vice president for hunger, said he irst had a conversation with a Kroger vice president, Mel Bomprezzi, as passengers in the pace car that went 120 miles per hour.

“In that span of time I was able to talk to Mel and say look, here are the issues that are related to us, I think there is a shared value opportunity here, meaning you can generate business and we can reach those less vulnerable that we need to reach,” said Lutzweiler, in

Memphis for the announcement.

The federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program pumped about $70 billion into stores nationwide in federal iscal year 2014, with nearly half going to the “superstore” category and one-third going to supermarkets.

SNAP spending hit a peak of about $76 billion during the Great Recession and may decline to about $67 billion or $68 billion this year, said Kevin Concannon, the USDA undersecretary of food, nutrition and consumers services.

“The recovery is slower for many, many people,” said Concannon, in Memphis for announcement.

In metropolitan Memphis, residents received $560.4 million worth of SNAP beneits in 2013, up from $204 million a decade earlier, shows the latest income report from the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis.

The AARP Foundation received a three-year, $3.3 million U.S. Department of Agriculture grant earlier this year, part of a $31.5 million pool awarded to help SNAP participants aford healthy foods.

Lisa Marsh Ryerson, AARP Foundation president, said food insecurity and poor health rank-

Enter to complete in Battle of the Brains

ings led the organization to launch its Fre$h Savings program in Tennessee and Mississippi.

Tennessee ranks 47th and Mississippi 49th for fruit consumption and 42nd and 50th, respectively, for vegetable consumption, according to America’s Health Rankings.

UnitedHealthcare, a large Minnesota-based health insurer, supplied $1 million, a match for the irst-year government funding.

UnitedHealthcare Community Plan’s chief executive in Tennessee, Rita Johnson Mills, and in Mississippi, Jocelyn Chisholm Carter, took their turns at the podium, giving the program enthusiastic support.

Inside the Kroger stores, the coupons can be used with subsequent purchases using SNAP cards to obtain up to $20 a month in fresh produce, they said.

They said the coupons may be used at other Kroger stores, regardless of whether that store issues them.

Kroger stores in Memphis where the SNAP incentive program is available are the Raleigh store, 3860 Austin Peay; Kirby at Quince, 2835 Kirby Parkway; Southgate at 1977 S. Third, and Gleneagles at 4770 Riverdale.

Kroger stores in Bartlett, 5995 Stage; Atoka, 11630 U.S. 51 South; Southaven, 465 Stateline; and Horn Lake, 7251 Interstate Drive, also offer the Fre$h Savings incentive.

Seasonal Memphis farmers markets with the program, where spending up to $10 with a SNAP card earns the same amount in Fre$h Savings tokens, are MIFA/ Church Health Center, Overton Park, Memphis and Cooper-Young Community farmers markets.

‘Exceed’s’ expectations Doctor abandons insurance for more time with patients

By Kevin McKenzie mckenzie@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2348

D

r. Heather Pearson Chauhan said she was seeing about 34 patients on most days and spending time checking the right boxes to meet insurance mandates when she decided she’d had enough.

“I thought to myself, I’m 40 and I’m probably going to practice medicine for another 30 years,” said Chauhan, a Memphis gynecologist and obstetrician who worked at the Ruch Clinic for a decade.

“And I thought, I’m unwilling to do it this way for another 30 years, because this isn’t focusing on the reasons that I became a physician, and this isn’t focusing on the patient as the center of everything.”

The chief executive of the Tennessee Medical Association, Russ Miller, described the “turbulence” for physicians and the health care industry that may lead to soul-searching about the direction of the medical profession.

Health reforms triggered by the federal Afordable Care Act aren’t the only causes. “ We’re changing payment models with TennCare innovation grants, wholesale sellouts of physician practices to hospitals, small groups merging with larger groups, specialties blending to become multi-specialty groups,” Miller said during a recent visit to The Commercial Appeal.

“Everybody’s trying to

ind a safe haven, a little bit of cover during all this turbulence,” he said.

The state medical association’s president, Dr. John Hale, a Union City primary care physician with Baptist Medical Group, said transitions like the Afordable Care Act and electronic medical records create a certain level of frustration.

“Some people roll with it, some people, depending on their circumstances, say ‘I’m going to get rid of it, I’m going to do something different,’ ” Hale said. “Anytime you have fundamental change like that, then most of them go on and keep working because they are called to do it.”

One year ago on Nov. 17, Chauhan opened her own answer to putting the focus back on the patient and on the time that physicians should take to spend with them, she said.

Her answer is called Exceed Hormone Specialists, a practice that doesn’t accept health insurance. She found the more intimate setting she was looking for in a residential-style oice building in Germantown at 7512 Second.

There, she and a partner — who is also her father, urologist Dr. Richard Pearson — aren’t driven by what she said frustrated her most in a traditional practice driven by patient volume and insurance documentation.

“Direct pay” or “concierge” practices are common labels used for those that have cut the cord with insurance. While producing revenue, insurance claims are also a cost.

STAN CARROLL/THE COMMERCIAL APPEAL

Dr. Heather Pearson Chauhan and her father, Dr. Richard Pearson, prepare for a procedure in their newly opened Germantown practice, Exceed Hormone Specialists. The medical practice doesn’t accept health insurance.

“If I have to employ two to three people to work on claims and insurance, then that’s three more salaries I have to pay, which is lots less time I get to spend with patients because I have to bring more money in to keep my doors open, and we go right back to the system I’m trying to come out of,” she said.

At Exceed, prescriptions may involve diet and exercise, as well as hormone replacements. “Bioidentical compounds,” chemically identical to natural ones and that insurance companies won’t pay for, are prescribed, she said.

Hormones including testosterone, which both men and women may require, are delivered by pellets implanted under the skin.

In men, they last ive or six months, she said.

The time spent with patients also allows for a more in-depth and broader search for the causes of health issues ranging from tiredness to sexual dysfunction, Chauhan said.

She encourages “baby steps” that concentrate on changing one thing at a time.

“If you just treat the disease process and don’t treat the environment in which the person is dealing with the disease process, then you’re not really helping them,” she said.

That’s a focus that “wellness coaches” are adding to internal medicine and family physician oices in the western United States, she said.

“What those physicians believe, and I’m sure this will grow east, is that if you can have a practice that

provides not just medical care, but lifestyle management, all of those things are integrated,” she said.

In Memphis, the Church Health Center provides a similar model.

After a free, 15-minute discussion of whether to proceed, costs at Exceed include $300 for the initial consultation and run about $100 a month for a year’s worth of hormone management, Chauhan said.

Patients sent for lab work may have the labs bill their insurance, and Exceed provides patients with codes if patients want to ile for reimbursement.

Glimpses of her father’s rapport with patients during her summertime iling and hole-punching at his oice inspired her goal to establish the same relationship with her patients, said

Chauhan. She’s a Princeton University history major who went to medical school in Memphis at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center.

Pearson, 71, a founder of the Conrad|Pearson Clinic, doesn’t take a salary as her partner, said Chauhan. Her mother, Freida, isn’t receiving a salary as practice administrator. A practice coordinator and a nursing position shared by two workers round out the staf.

Chauhan is a mother of two, and her husband, Dr. Ravi Chauhan, is a urologist with Conrad|Pearson.

Chauhan said the entrepreneurial spirit of her brother, Taylor Pearson, also inspired her. At 26, he has published his irst book: “The End of Jobs: Money, Meaning and Freedom Without the 9-to-5.”

In the News GERMANTOWN

Parents, faculty puzzle out school bell times

By Jane Roberts robertsj@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2512

In a rhythm more like a group mediation than a school bus workshop, 40 parents and teachers — grouped around tables of ive — talked together for 10 minutes, then relected silently for two and a half minutes, hands and pens flying across the work sheets they turned in at the end.

In 90 minutes Oct. 28, they considered six bus scenarios; some simple and some so complex, it is possible school could start

at four diferent times next year as Germantown likely moves from a three-tiered bus schedule to two. That means each bus would serve two schools instead of three.

On the high end, the cost difference is $500,000.

And it could be even more because Germantown, currently sharing buses with Collierville Schools, will have to pay a penalty for dropping out of the sharing agreement before the four-year contract with Durham Transportation is up.

“We have the money.

The school board knew it

wanted to do this and increased the transportation budget,” Supt. Jason Manuel said over the buzz of conversation in a room at the central oice crowded with rectangular tables.

Each had three parents — representing diferent schools — plus a teacher and school administrator.

Their job was to igure the start time for each cluster of schools, scheduling 45 minutes for drivers to pick up the next batch of students and get to the second school in the matrix on time.

“If we start at 7:45, I can anticipate some traf-

ic scenarios,” said Houston Middle School mom Richelle Kidder. “ECS and St. George’s both start at 8,” she said to nods around the table.

“Riverdale has more poverty than other schools; it’s 18 percent,” said mother and Shelby County PTA president Terri Harris. “Our principal would prefer 8 o’clock or earlier,” she said, noting that he already comes to work early to let in children whose parents drop them of in the dark to get to work on time.

Riverdale currently starts at 8 a.m. But mov-

ing it to 7:45 didn’t provide enough bang for the buck for Kidder, who was scribbling calculations in her notes to share with her group.

“I can’t get on board with going from 7 a.m. to 7:15,” she said. “It’s such a small, comparatively so, shift in time.”

The driving force in Germantown is later times for Houston High School, which now starts at 7 a.m., contrary to research from the Centers for Disease Control and others that say teenagers need more sleep to function, learn and maintain good mental

health.

Of all the school districts in the county, Germantown is doing the most to educate parents on the budgetary and logistical elements of the puzzle and gather their input. It will turn Wednesday’s notes over to the University of Memphis, which is preparing a survey for parents, teachers and students.

In December, Manuel and his team will make a recommendation to the school board on new bell times. The board will make the inal decision after negotiating penalties with the Collierville board.

IMMERSION DAY

Collierville students dive into Rio de Janeiro Olympics

By Jane Roberts robertsj@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2512

Sycamore Elementary in Collierville was tropical, vibrant Rio de Janeiro for a few shining hours Oct. 30 as students contemplated all things Olympic in anticipation of the 2016 world event in Brazil.

The school occasion was part of Immersion Day, a long tradition at the school, where 27 nations are represented in the student body, probably making it among the most diverse public schools in the state. Students were treated to live “wax museum” athletes in the library (played by parents) who sprang to life to tell their stories to former Olympian Rochelle Stevens, who opened the day (and some eyes) with her own story.

Stevens, who lives in Collierville, was introduced by her nephew, Martin Truitt, a Sycamore student, in the kickof to Go for the Gold, a tribute to next year’s summer event.

Stevens knelt while Truitt tied

a red, white and blue scarf over her eyes and then found her way in the dark to the podium.

“Some people dream of success, while others wake up,” she said, dramatically pulling of the scarf.

“I started seriously working at age 12, outrunning the boys at Cherokee Elementary.

“I earned 24 scholarships to go to college,” she said, while the cafeteria erupted in applause.

She asked the children to name the continents while noting she ran on ive of them, adding she “always ran well in Rio.” Besides the school’s built-in focus on the native cultures of its students, it has paused one day each fall to dig deep on a single theme.

“We’ve done Hawaii and the Wizard of Oz,” said Tanya Hart, stepping out of character a minute from her assumed persona as Olympic gold medal gymnast Gabrielle Douglas.

“The kids love it, and they learn so much. When we did Hawaii, they learned how to surf,” said Hart, one of at least a half-

dozen parents portraying Olympians in the school library.

The backdrop to Immersion Day is the strength of the school’s PTA. Ashley Old, program coordinator, divided the work into eight committees. Many of them met for months in the science

lab to create the decorations and impromptu learning stations that lined the hallways.

“The masks you will see in the carnival were all hand-painted and decorated,” said Milena Salamida, Sycamore mother and native of Brazil.

“We have brought tropical fruits to show the children what we experience in Brazil. Everything you see is handmade by the families. We had a lot of fun working and showing the children a little bit of Brazil.”

Each class had a Brazilian feel, including gym, where kids were fencing with long sticks of colored Styrofoam. Fencing has been part of the Summer Olympics since 1896.

The closing ceremony, also a nod to the Olympics, featured a procession of lags for each nation represented in the hodgepodge of nationalities that have found their way to Collierville, home to many FedEx, International Paper and St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital employees.

“It means so much because it’s so real-world,” said mother Jean Ellen Sisson, wearing a trench coat and fedora with a Rio Times press credential in the band, and busily clicking of frames on her iPhone.

“We learn so much from all of our friends and all the diferent countries.”

In the News COLLIERVILLE

A place to play Collierville ready to open gates on Hinton Park Ryan, Carly and Stephen Swearingen accept a plaque in their father’s honor. The Town of Collierville inducted Carl Swearingen to the Parks Recreation and Cultural Arts Department’s Hall of Fame.

COLLIERVILLE

Parks and Rec Hall of Fame inductees honored Special to The Weekly

On Oct. 27, the Collierville Parks Recreation and Cultural Arts Department held its third annual Hall of Fame ceremony at the Harrell Performing Arts Theatre.

This year’s inductees are Mary Jean Smith and the late Carl Swearingen. Nominated by fellow Collierville residents, the Parks Hall of Fame honors citizens who have made exemplary and lasting contributions to the advancement of the Collierville parks system.

Mary Jean Smith is a lifelong resident of Collierville who has actively worked to promote the arts in the community. A member of the Collierville Arts Council since 1987, Smith helped raise thousands of dollars in fundraising events and is the founder/hostess of the annual “Symphony in the Rose Garden.” In addition to her work fundraising, she participates in the arts with the most recent venture as a lead in “The King and I,” a community production held at the Harrell Theatre. She owns two Town Square busi-

nesses and is a mother of 10, grandmother of 28 and is a great-grandmother.

Carl Swearingen, or “Coach Carl,” dedicated his life to volunteerism and had a deep commitment to inspire the youth of Collierville until his passing on Dec. 5, 2014. He served on the Collierville Parks Advisory Board for three years and held the vice-presidency his last year. He also served as the executive board liaison for the West Tennessee Girls Lacrosse Association in 2014. Swearingen not only helped the program double in size, he even rewired the sprinkler system on the freshman football ield to make it suitable for practice. He inspired youth and adults to go the extra mile to achieve beyond their own expectations.

Swearingen is survived by his three children Stephen, Ryan and Carly.

In addition to the ceremony held for the two inductees, they will be featured on individual plaques displayed at the Collierville Community Center, 440 W. Powell Road, among past Hall of Fame honorees.

John Muir believed humans go a bit insane without access to nature and places to play. Collierville is taking a page from his memoirs with Hinton Park, nearly 110 acres of wide-open space and views, crowned with majestic oaks for serenity.

And for whimsy, there’s the “king of the hill” mound, a grasscovered overlook, with a sidewalk circling to the top like a mountain road.

“If you watch little boys play, you know they’ll run up and down that hill all day long,” said Chip Petersen, director of Parks, Recreation and Community Services.

That’s the idea at Hinton of Holmes and Fleming Road. For now, it has no ball ields or formal athletic ields. Instead, there are acres of open space for unstructured play — hide and seek among the oaks, ishing on the ive-acre lake and grassy ields for lying kites.

“Some people will probably run little power boats on the lake,” Petersen said. “It’s up to them to use their imagination.”

Hinton Park, which planners expect to be a regional draw, opens Wednesday with a 2 p.m. ceremony that will also honor the keepers of the dream.

“We bought the land in 2003 from Frances Hinton,” said alderwoman Maureen Fraser. “It was one of the irst fun things I got to do as an alderman.”

The park was on the city’s construction docket when Heath Hudspeth moved to southwest Collierville 10 years ago.

“Then it was removed from the plan when they were doing other

Chip Petersen, Parks, Recreation & Community Services director in Collierville, stands at the new Hinton Park last week. The $2.9 million regional park will be dedicated Wednesday. “It’s my last hurrah,” he says of the park. “It’s been a lot of fun. I think it’s turned out really well.”

things. That’s when I got involved,” he said. “A lot of people bought homes here because they thought the park was going to be built.”

The site remained a soybean ield until construction — including excavating 90,000 cubic yards of soil for the lake — began about a year ago.

The total cost of Phase 1 is $2.9 million, including Hinton Road, the silken asphalt road that meanders through the oaks — tinged now in fall color — to the edge of the lake from the park’s single entrance on Holmes.

The irst phase includes ieldstone restrooms, two playgrounds — one surrounded by outdoor musical instruments and a U-shaped sandbox and a thick wood-chip surface. There are two nine-hole disc golf courses, a tiered performance lawn for concerts and other events, and three miles of asphalt trails, including a stretch to nearby Fleming Gardens subdivision.

The 85 acres in the irst phase also includes the lake, 12-15 feet deep, and part of an elaborate ecosystem with a wetlands area naturally fed with runof from the

south and from the lake in the drier months. When the water is high, it will cascade over a concrete wall into the lake.

The lake will also be stocked for ishing and serve as a natural aquifer for irrigating the park in the summer. It is connected to a well for the dry months.

“This way, we won’t have to use any city water for irrigation,” Petersen said.

The park has a special place in his heart because it is the last large-scale project he’ll manage before retiring next spring.

“It’s my last hurrah,” he said.

“It’s been a lot of fun. I think it’s turned out really well.”

The remaining land will be developed in future phases, which will include athletic ields, a stage in the performance area and connections to other park trails, starting with Estanaula Park, about 1.5 miles away, said Mayor Stan Joyner.

“We wanted to get it open. Residents in that area have been saying, ‘When are you going to do this?’

I’m excited about getting it open,” Joyner said. “I can’t wait to take my grandchildren there.”

ST. GEORGE’S 20, ECS 0

Gryphons overcome sloppy field for win Chase Hayden’s running, five turnovers knock out Eagles

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

The highlight reel won’t be headed to the Hall of Fame in Canton any time soon. But for the St. George’s football team, it was a step in the right direction.

Playing on a soggy ield after some heavy rain Thursday and most of the day Friday, the Gryphons slogged to a 20-0 victory over visiting ECS in the irst round of the Division 2-A playofs.

“It was the irst time we had to deal with the elements all year,” said Gryphons coach David Carter.

“We couldn’t get our ofense going. It took us some time to igure it out.”

The slippery conditions took much of the bite out of the Gryphons ofense, which led Shelby County during the regular season. Particularly troubling were the center-quarterback exchanges, which often slowed any momentum.

“That was by far the most frustrating thing,” Carter said. “We’d get 20 or 30 yards and then go back 10

because of a bad snap.”

Chase Hayden, who led Shelby County with 1,903 rushing yards during the regular season, did most of the damage for the Gryphons (10-1).

The junior capped a 44-yard drive in the irst quarter with a 29-yard touchdown that made it 7-0.

He inished of the Eagles (3-8) in the fourth, going in from 20 yards with three minutes left.

“We knew we could run the ball with Chase Hayden,” Carter said.

While St. George’s was having its troubles, ECS was having a whole lot more.

The Eagles turned it over ive times, including four interceptions. Will Patterson and Shon Wooten each had two picks to lead the St. George’s defense.

Still though — and thanks in part to a scrappy ECS defense — the Gryphons had trouble turning those take-aways into points, settling instead for a pair of Graham Hawthorne ield goals that allowed the Eagles to stay within striking distance until the end.

St. George’s advances to a home matchup in the second round next Friday against Lausanne, which defeated Davidson Academy on Friday. The game will be a rematch of the Gryphons’ only defeat of the year; Lausanne won the Sept. 4 meeting, 30-14.

“We’re looking forward to it, but we’ve got a lot of work to do,” Carter said.

Sports

U of M’s long winning streak worth celebrating It began on a Saturday in October, at SMU’s stadium, with fewer than 20,000 in attendance.

The Memphis football team traveled to Dallas and won a football game.

Do you even remember how you felt? Were you paying attention? Had you already started thinking about basketball?

The win over SMU bumped Memphis’ record to 4-3, a thoroughly mediocre record for a program that was all too familiar with mediocrity.

But then the next week, Memphis went out and won another game, over Tulsa. And the next week, they went and beat Temple on a last-second kick.

Then came wins over Tulane and South Florida and Connecticut. Then came the thrilling doubleovertime win over BYU in the Miami Beach Bowl.

By now, I bet you were paying attention. Before long, the whole city was.

There was the mindbending win over Bowling Green, with the ticktack-toe play known as Flipper. There was the thriller over Cincinnati on Thursday night.

There was the nationally televised pummeling of Ole Miss, which many consider the biggest win in the history of the program. Memphis put 31 straight points on the Rebs.

By this point, the entire country was talking about Memphis football. It was utterly surreal. National commentators were outraged — outraged! — that Memphis was just No. 13 in the irst playof ranking.

Some of them had Memphis in their inal four.

And Saturday, in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, there was an actual sign in the ESPN crowd that said, “We want Memphis.”

That’s right. In Tuscaloosa. Oh, it was beautiful.

And now it’s over. Not necessarily the winning, but the streak. Not necessarily the goal of a conference title, but the dream of bigger things.

After 15 consecutive wins, the Memphis Tigers inally lost a football game. To Navy, 45-20.

“They kicked our tails tonight,” said Memphis coach Justin Fuente.

Eventually, you knew somebody would.

And maybe it shouldn’t have been a surprise that it was Navy, a tough, disciplined team that deploys a bit of evil football wizardry called the triple-option, that frustrates opponents with a smash-mouth game of keep-away.

Navy held the ball for nearly 37 minutes against Memphis. Navy rolled up 374 yards on the ground.

Meanwhile, you know how, through all the win-

PREPS/CROSS COUNTRY

GEOFF CALKINS COLUMNIST

ning, Fuente kept saying his Memphis team would eventually pay for its mistakes?

He wasn’t wrong about that. Memphis paid for an interception by Paxton Lynch. Memphis paid for fumbles by Phil Mayhue and Doroland Dorceus.

Memphis paid for a blown coverage that allowed Navy’s DeBrandon Sanders to catch a ball and go 75 yards. Memphis paid for more personal foul penalties.

So a thin 10-7 lead soon turned into an emphatic 45-20 whipping. So a night of celebration became something else.

“It hurts,” said linebacker Wynton McManis.

“It’s been awhile since we lost a game.”

It’s been 393 days, to be exact.

And that’s the thing to remember here, that and what could still lie ahead.

The Tigers could still get to the conference title game by beating Houston, Temple and SMU. They’ll just need a little help.

Beyond that, look at what they have accomplished over these last 393 days, look at the miracles they have wrought. There are lines for student tickets. There are massive traic jams leaving games.

There are stories in The New York Times about the Memphis football program. There is actual respect.

Or here’s another measure: The Tigers’ first home game in the winning streak was against Tulsa. That game drew 26,846. Saturday’s game against Navy drew 55,212, the biggest crowd for a conference game in the history of the team.

That’s 30,000 new fans for a program that needs every one of them. That’s a massive infusion of enthusiasm and interest for a program with aspirations to be something other than what it has been.

Over the course of 15 games, the Tigers taught Memphians that college football could lourish in this city. Over the course of 393 days, they made the Liberty Bowl the place to be.

“I just hope they hang with us,” said Fuente, speaking of all the new supporters.

Do 15 wins deserve anything less?

Houston girls run to title Mustangs capture first title in 13 years

fter dominating the area competition this season, the Houston girls crosscountry team did the same against the best the state had to ofer Saturday.

Led by a third-place inish from Michelle Myers, the Mustangs won their irst AAA championship in 13 years at Nashville’s Percy Warner State Park.

It’s the 10th time Houston has won a boys or girls cross country title and this group will rank as one of the best.

“This team is the total package,” said Mustangs irst-year coach Chris Winter. “They like to have fun, but when race day comes, they’re focused. We anticipated that if we ran as well as we did all season that we could win. This is really a dream team to coach.”

Myers, a junior competing in cross country for the irst year, inished in 19:07. Shian Mallory was next in 12th as Houston used its depth to hold of Brentwood by 11 points.

Talented sophomore Ella Baran began struggling with about a mile-and-a-half to go and inished well back, but she provided Winter with arguably his most proud moment.

“She was feeling really bad afterwards, but the other girls were more concerned about her than

the results,” he said. “That’s really gratifying as a coach.”

Saturday’s race capped a remarkable fall for Houston’s girls sports teams. The golf team won state and had the individual champion (Jayna Choi) and the soccer team captured its second title in three years last weekend.

Houston’s volleyball team came in fourth.

The Mustangs will compete next in the Southeast Regional meet in Cary, N. C., where a irstor second-place result would qualify them for nationals.

“We’ve still got some uninished business,” Winter said.

Arlington inished eighth and had two top-10 inishers, with freshmen Skyler Boogerd and Erica Fisher coming in eighth and ninth.

Houston also celebrated success in the boys race. Christopher Rayder inished sixth in 16:10 — the top local inisher by a wide margin — as the Mustangs inished ninth.

CBHS had matched its best result since 2007, coming in second in Division 2-AA behind only powerful Brentwood Academy, which

took four of the top ive spots. Josh Hamlet led the Brothers with an 11th-place inish.

“Going in, I thought we had a good chance to get on the podium,” said Brothers coach Nick Dwyer.

“Our strength is we’re truly a team.

We had ive guys in the top 23 and we had three diferent guys run No. 1 this year.

“The kids deserve it. They’ve worked their butts of.”

St. Benedict’s Ray Wynne (ninth) was the top local individual.

The Eagles also had the highest-placing girl as Meghan Underwood came in ifth in 20:03. Nora Tillmans of Hutchison came in ninth with Ruth Wiggins of Briarcrest one spot back.

Mr. Football semifinalists named Thirteen area athletes in running for award

CLASS 6A

Houston’s Christopher Rayder was sixth, the top local finisher in the AAA boys cross country race Saturday.

Memo to Austin Lee’s match teacher. You can cut him a little bit of slack.

Lee, a standout senior running back at CBHS, was one of 13 local players who were named as semiinalists for the TSSAA’s Tennessee Titans Mr. Football award on Thursday.

“I was in the library taking a math test and coach (Thomas McDaniel) came looking for me and told me,” Lee said. “I just got the biggest smile on my face and I really couldn’t focus, so I just turned my test in.

“I mainly just felt happy.

I put in a lot of hard work over the summer to be recognized. Really, our whole team put in a lot of hard work.”

Lee, who has rushed for 1,237 yards and 21 touchdowns, has passed just about every test on the ield for the Brothers, who inished the regular

season 8-2 and have a bye this week while waiting to see who they’ll face in the Division 2-AA quarterinals.

He’s one of two CBHS players honored; defensive end Ben Hill is a semiinalist in the D2-AA lineman category. MUS receiver Thomas Pickens, who has committed to the University of Memphis, joins Lee in the back category.

Trezevant and St. George’s were the other local teams with two semiinalists.

The Bears are represented in Class 2A by running back Cordarrian Richardson and linebacker Justin Swift.

In Division 2-A, junior running back Chase Hayden, who led Shelby County with 1,903 yards during the regular season, and senior lineman Jacob Still represent St. George’s.

Other locals in the final four are Northpoint running back Christian Saulsberry and ofensive lineman Will Lawrence of Harding.

Two players were named in 6A: Oregon commitment Dillon Mitchell of White Station (back) and Whitehaven lineman Del-

White Station senior Dillon Mitchell is one of the area’s Mr. Football semifinalists.

vin Salter.

Mitchell has accounted for 30 touchdowns in nine games while amassing 2,032 all-purpose yards.

Wooddale quarterback Jerry Craine, who set the Shelby County regular season passing record with 3,306 yards this season, was named in the 5A back category, and linebacker Darron Johnson will represent Ridgeway in the 4A lineman category.

Now in their 31st season, the Mr. Football awards are selected by a

statewide panel of sports writers based on players’ performance during the regular season. Academics and character are also considered.

The awards, which honor the top lineman and back in each of the eight TSSAA football classifications, will be presented Nov. 30 at Nissan Stadium in Nashville.

The four semiinalists will be cut down to two inalists and those names will be announced Nov. 16.

Heads get shaved for breast cancer month Special to The Weekly

Three students from Collierville Middle started a schoolwide movement simply by writing a letter.

In early October, the students approached special education teacher Penny Turner, asking if their school could do something special for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Soon, the students and Turner had a plan in place for a special week of raising money for the Susan G. Komen Foundation.

During the week of Oct. 19, there were themed days, such as wearing “something pink,” but the real fun was putting mon-

ey into a box for a male teacher to shave his head.

Not only were the students fundraising for a worthy cause, but they were voting for a teacher to shave his head from each grade.

But there was more.

“What the students didn’t know, regardless of the winning teacher, we were all going to shave our heads,” said principal Roger Jones.

As the week progressed, students continued to raise money, but also became more aware of breast cancer. Public service announcements were played during lunch, including a message from DeAngelo

In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, students at Collierville Middle donated more than $3,000 to the Susan G. Komen Foundation.

Williams, the former University of Memphis football standout and current Pittsburgh Steeler, about his own experience with his mother sufering from the disease. Teach-

ers shared breast cancer facts in the classroom as well as personal stories about friends, family and co-workers.

In ive days, the students raised $3,000, which was

donated to the Susan G. Komen Foundation for Breast Cancer Research.

The school held a program Oct. 23, to present the money to a representative from the foundation,

but the students were the most surprised when 11 teachers and administrative staf shaved their heads. Students, staf and special guests, including survivors and women battling breast cancer, enjoyed the grand inale.

“We had a lot of positive feedback from parents, and even have a mother donating beanies for the men with ‘CMS Heroes’ embroidered on the front,” said Jones. “But the women who are sufering or have survived this disease are the real heroes in our society. And speaking as a man, I believe that women ight most battles that men can’t.”

Resource oicers help catch suspect

Students host Leadership Conference

By Kate Crowder Special to The Weekly

Recently, the Germantown Police Department chased an armed suspect throughout several neighborhoods.

Two Germantown Municipal School District resource oicers double as GPD SWAT members.

Farmington Elementary’s Oicer Mike Maggipinto and District Supervisor Oicer Brandon Schiel began the chase with the SWAT team early in the morning. The two were a valuable part of the team that brought the suspect

Farmington Elementary school resource oicer and Germantown Police Department SWAT team member Mike Maggipinto was honored by school staf for helping apprehend an armed suspect who ran throughout several neighborhoods.

to justice.

“Even more amazing,” said assistant principal Ashley Brasield, “is that minutes after the man was inally caught by our very own Oicer Mike, he was back at school serving as our friendly SRO.” There was then a tearful standing ovation as the entire faculty of Farmington applauded the oicer while giving him three giant gift baskets full of items that he is known to

enjoy.

On Nov. 5, the Farmington staf hosted a special Cop Stop for Maggipinto, as well as the rest of the Germantown police oficers.

The concept of Cop Stop, which began in Germantown, has spread all over the greater Memphis area.

Kate Crowder is the communications specialist for Germantown Municipal School District.

Student councils, student governments, and other student leadership teams from all over West Tennessee gathered to attend this year’s West Tennessee Leadership Conference. For the second consecutive year, Houston High School’s SGA hosted the event.

Housed in the youth facility of Bellevue Baptist Church, HHS students (in celebration of Halloween) wore costumes and greeted all of the arriving students.

Olivia Brommer, an HHS senior, oiciated the entire event.

“Houston High School has hosted this workshop for West Tennessee schools three out of the last four years because an HHS student has served on the Tennessee Association of Student Councils (TASC) board,” said teacher sponsor Traci Spain.

“At the TASC state convention, students run for positions to serve on the executive board. Olivia is the TASC West Tennessee Area representative this year.”

Spain is serving her second term as the TASC state executive director.

At the conference, Germantown schools’ Supt. Jason Manuel and HHS principal Kyle Cherry gave some opening
