GERMANTOWN

HOLIDAY PARADE Former mayor leads annual Christmas event

By Craig Collier Special to The Weekly

O

n Dec. 13, Germantown held its annual holiday parade.

As the parade’s 2 p.m. start time approached, the sound of marching bands warming up in the distance could be heard. The marching band fans along the parade route would not be disappointed.

Bands from area high schools and middle schools turned out and played holiday music and some groups were accompanied by baton twirlers, pom squads or color guards.

As the parade began, a convertible carrying former Germantown Mayor Sharon Goldsworthy made its way along the parade route. As she The Houston High School marching band was a major presence near the beginning of the parade.

When Willis Porter hears people talk about furniture retailer Ikea as a destination that will draw shoppers from around the Mid-South to Memphis, it doesn’t sound far-fetched.

After all, the East Memphis dad once rented a van and made the 740-mile round trip to Ikea’s nearest store — in Atlanta — to pick up boxes of cabinets for a kitchen remodel.

“You can ind the style of furniture you’re looking for at a fraction of the cost,” he said.

“I think we probably saved well over $4,000 or $5,000 doing it that way.”

The Swedish furniture retailer Tuesday proposed building a $64.3 million, 269,000-square-foot store on 35-acres near Wolfchase Galleria, pending approval from local oicials. Slated to open in fall 2016, the store will be one of about 40 in the U.S. — and the retailer’s irst in the Mid-South.

Memphis’ store would approach Ikea’s typical massive scale and include, the company says, 1,000 parking places, a 300-seat restaurant serving American and Swedish dishes, a supervised children’s play area, a showroom for children’s furniture, baby care rooms, play areas throughout the store and preferred parking.

On hand would be about 10,000 exclusively designed items, as well as three model home interiors and 50 separate room settings displaying See IKEA, 3

Germantown inaugurated a new mayor and two aldermen Monday night, officially ending Sharon Goldsworthy’s 20year tenure as mayor and beginning the Mike Palazzolo administration.

Palazzolo, who until Monday was a two-term alderman, along with Mary Anne Gibson and John Barzizza, were sworn into ofice at The Great Hall.

“It’s the culmination of a long year,” Palazzolo said following the ceremony.

He began campaigning in early spring, going door to

door through the summer and fall. He won the November election against former city employee George Brogdon with 54 percent of the vote.

Since Election Day, Palazzolo said he has been meeting weekly with City Administrator Patrick Lawton to ready himself to take over as mayor, a part-time position.

“Now it’s real,” he said.

Palazzolo said he was in Goldsworthy’s office with her last week as she cleaned out the space, and joked that he always sat in the same chair when he visited her and had never realized how big the oice is.

Gibson said she has spent the last six weeks after Election Day with family and continuing the preparation work she

In the News review

‘Twelfth Night’ at the Dixon a joyous romp Superbly acted and well-directed

By Jon W. Sparks Special to The Commercial Appeal

We love you, Shakespeare.

Of all the poets, physicians and philosophers who have tried to igure out what love is, it’s the Bard who came up with one of the savviest observations in his comedy “Twelfth Night.”

Tennessee Shakespeare Company’s version at the Dixon Gallery and Gardens is a joyous romp along the spectrum of romance,

from profound to base and crossing all sorts of lines. The show, directed by Dan McCleary, is, appropriately, all heart and sustained by superb performances.

Most of the actors have worked with Tennessee Shakespeare before and continue to create memorable performances.

Paul Kiernan is terriic as sly troublemaker Sir Toby Belch, and Johnny Lee Davenport, with a resonant voice that shakes walls, is brilliant as the humorless Puritan Malvolio who — in the name of love — dons yellow ishnet stockings and becomes happy. It is a sight and performance to behold.

Feste the fool serves many and mocks all, and in the hands of versatile Brad DePlanche, it is a splendid manipulation.

Tracie Thomason shrewdly rides the romantic roller coaster as the luminous beauty Olivia.

Michael Khanlarian adroitly tackles multiple roles from clown to sea captain to attendant.

Every actor brought vivid characterizations and choices to the tale and McCleary’s direction gave them plenty of igurative room to perform in the intimate setting of Winegardner Auditorium.

That closeness encouraged

some amusing audience interaction and magniied the rich storytelling.

For all the comedy, there is much that is deeply touching in Shakespeare’s story.

While there’s hilarity with people falling in love all over the place, often with the wrong person, there are many kinds of love being explored. That variety means that pretty much everyone who sees “Twelfth Night” will identify with someone or some situation.

With that, Shakespeare reminds us that love’s origins are in the heart, not in the rational mind.

“TWELFTH NIGHT” When: Through Sunday Where: Dixon Gallery & Gardens, 4339 Park Ave. Performances: 7 p.m.

Thursday, Friday, Saturday; 3 p.m. Sunday Tickets: $33. Thursday is Free Will Kids’ Night, free for ages 17 and younger when accompanied by a paying/attending guardian.

“They’ll be coming to us with an ask, and we’ve got to be prepared for that,” she said.

School board members Mark Dely and Lisa Parker retook their oaths of oice during the board’s regular meeting earlier in the day.

The board reappointed Parker as chairwoman of and voted for Linda Fisher as vice chairwoman.

Barzizza said inauguration night was exciting, and that he plans to spend the next several weeks and months “learning a lot and helping any way I can.”

Atty. Gen. Amy Weirich gave an opening address, and talked about her upbringing in Germantown and the importance of public servants remembering their roots.

“We have to always remember that we belong to the community that elected us,” she said.

Weirich, who went to Dogwood Elementary with Gibson, said the new leaders should also remember those who served before them.

“You have great big shoes to ill, and I have no doubt those being sworn in tonight will do that,” she said.

police use of force in general, and deadly force in particular.

The New York medical examiner’s oice ruled Garner’s death a homicide, citing “compression of neck (chokehold), compression of chest and prone positioning during physical restraint by police.”

Trautman was shocked by the grand jury’s decision. He also was shocked by the inability of multiple oicers on the scene to restrain an asthmatic man who was ofering limited resistance.

He knows the oicer could have put Garner to sleep gently and easily in a matter of seconds, if he had held Garner’s neck properly and safely.

It’s a jiu-jitsu maneuver known as a rear naked choke, or bilateral vascular neck restraint. It’s used safely in such competitive sports as Brazilian jiu-jitsu and the Ultimate Fighting Championship.

It’s also taught by the National Law Enforcement Training Center.

The idea is to apply pressure to the carotid arteries on both sides of the neck while using the V-shape in the arm to protect the windpipe.

A chokehold can choke a person to death. A bilateral neck restraint, done correctly by a trained professional, can cause a person to pass out.

Memphis police officers, who are assaulted by unarmed

people up to 200 times a year, are trained in Krav Maga. It’s a self-defense system developed for the military in Israel. Its techniques include elements of jiu-jitsu and grappling.

“The cops I know personally in Memphis are committed to safety,” Trautman said.

“The CIT (Crisis Intervention) oicers who I work with use a vast array of interpersonal tools to effectively resolve conlict as well, keeping the community safe, even when having to bring someone in.”

Trautman, who has a private psychiatric practice, works at La Paloma Treatment Center.

It ofers residential and outpatient services to adults sufering from substance abuse and/ or co-occurring mental health disorders. Every now and then, a patient loses control.

“In the psychiatric hospital, there are many times when patients become threatening (to staf or themselves or other patients), and well trained mental health staf are able to physically subdue the patient and also keep everyone involved safe, including the patient,” he said.

Trautman was a champion wrestler at CBHS and now he’s an assistant coach for the Purple Wave wrestling team.

“If you think about the revenues that will be generated from this, and the benefits to our entire community, it’s very significant,” said Phil Trenary, president of the Greater Memphis Chamber. “They’re selling millions and millions of dollars worth of furniture every year, and there will be sales tax on every bit of that. The jobs will be very good jobs, offering full beneits to even their parttime employees, so this is the kind of organization we really want to attract to Memphis.”

The retailer estimates sales of more than $50 million in the irst year, according to the documents released by the Economic Development Growth Engine for Memphis and Shelby County, a citycounty economic development agency responsible

for providing property tax breaks for expanding businesses. That would generate $3.5 million in sales tax for the state, and $625,000 each to Memphis and Shelby County.

The store would employ 225 people, with average wages of $35,500.

Ikea, which reported sales of $36.9 billion last year, ranks as the world’s largest furniture retailer.

It is known for afordable furniture, but the savings come with a cost: You have to build it yourself.

Interest in Ikea has been robust in metro Memphis. The retailer said it has more than 37,000 existing customers in the Memphis area. Demand last year led to the establishment of a service to pick up orders from the Atlanta store for delivery to Memphians.

While a local base is important, Ikea says that typically about 30 percent of its store sales come from shoppers who drive more than 60 miles to get there.

Bailey Station students take a trip to BizTown

By Jamie Elkington Special to The Weekly

Fifth-grade students from Bailey Station Elementary recently visited Junior Achievement’s simulated town facility, JA BizTown, to put into action the skills they learned in their classrooms.

During their visit, the students worked as business owners and managers, government oicials and city oicers, while managing their own bank accounts and supporting other businesses within the JA BizTown community. Junior Achievement provided the school a four-week curriculum focusing on inancial literacy, community and economy, work readiness and business management.

“It’s imperative that these students connect the dots between what they learn about our global economy in their classrooms and what it’s actually like in the real world,” said Larry Colbert, Junior Achievement president and CEO. “We want to mold them into responsible and active citizens to make our community greater once they enter the workforce.”

Fifth-grade students learn about God, human anatomy in science class

By Ashley Colley Special to The Weekly

The ifth-grade class at the ECS Ridge Lake campus has been busy studying human anatomy as a part of their science curriculum.

They had the pleasure of learning from several students’ parents who work in the medical ield. These parents have taken time from their busy schedules to teach the class, taking information the students had previously studied in the classroom and demonstrating how their professions apply this knowledge.

Dr. Joe Rowland, an ophthalmologist, showed the students how the eyes function so that

we may have accurate vision, pointing out to the students that God has given us our senses to guide people to make informed decisions. Rowland helped students discover how Christians have God’s word, along with the Holy Spirit, to accompany our ive senses and lead us toward knowing God better.

Dermatologist Dr. Adam Baker of Germantown informed the ifth-grade class about the functions of our skin and how God has given us skin as a means of protection. The students correlated what they had learned about the immune system with new knowledge of speciic cells and skin layers. Baker illustrated how God orchestrates these to

Jina Sanders, a former Medtronic representative, further enhanced the class’ new

knowledge about the nervous system by presenting lifelike models and visuals for the students to handle and ask questions about. The students learned how

doctors must be very careful in protecting the body’s nerves during various spinal surgeries. Sanders discussed how God perfectly designed our body’s nervous system so that we can move, react, and even breathe.

Lastly, ifth-grade mom and former dental hygienist Kelly Rowland visited the ifth-graders. She taught them speciics about the teeth and how God commands us in his word to take care of every part of our bodies.

She stressed how God created each body system to work together to keep the entire body healthy and how one unhealthy part can afect another.

RECOGNIZED BY THEBESTSCHOOLS.ORG FOR:

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

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

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

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

Sports AUTOZONE LIBERTY BOWL HIGH SCHOOL ALL-STAR GAME

Big plays lift Blue Team over Red Team, 45-39 Area’s top players display their skills

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

The stars did what they do at last Saturday’s AutoZone Liberty Bowl High School All-Star game, presented by ARS/ Conway Services and the Governor’s Highway Safety Oice.

Johnathan Johnson and Earl Harrison had big scoring plays. Cedric Crawford threw touchdown passes.

Kristian Wilkerson caught touchdown passes.

As for Cameron Sanders of CBHS, well he did what he always does too. Make plays.

Sanders, a defensive back who committed to Southeast Missouri last week, had a 91-yard kickof return for a touchdown and came up with an interception in the red zone to

thwart a scoring opportunity to earn MVP honors as the Blue team won the annual battle with the Red, 45-39.

“In the locker room at halftime (with his team trailing 26-20), we just told ourselves to play ball,” Sanders said. “We could tell they didn’t want it; they were already giving up.

“We kind of doubted ourselves at irst but we really picked it up.”

Added victorious Blue coach Cecil Van Hooks of Craigmont, “We met (as a team) last Sunday and really bonded. We had a good group.”

Crawford — the Melrose quarterback who was the leading passer in the area during the season — hit Wildcats teammate Tony Pollard with a gorgeous 69-yard strike to give the Red an early 7-0 lead.

Harrison — the area’s top rusher from Ridgeway — countered with a 59-yard touchdown for the Blue

before short scoring runs from Colton Neel (MUS) and Michael Mason (Kirby) and a 35-yard ield goal by Matthew Smith of Northpoint put Red ahead 23-6.

Sanders’ touchdown cut the lead to 10 before Craigmont’s Wilkerson went to work with a pair of great scoring grabs.

SCHOOL SPIRIT SHOWDOWN

His 29-yarder from teammate Andrew McIntyre made it 23-20 late in the second period and his 19-yarder from Bartlett’s Jonathan Bowlan early in the third period tied it at 26.

Cordova’s Sean Williams — who had a huge game with two interceptions and a forced fum-

ble — then gave Blue a lead it wouldn’t relinquish, scoring on a 34yard pick-six.

“It just kind of fell in my hands and went for the pylon,” said Williams, who is considering numerous scholarship ofers. “I just love competing and being out here with all these

great athletes really is kind of surreal.”

A 4-yard run by Bowlan put Blue on top 39-26. But Melrose’s Johnson electriied the crowd on the next play, taking a pitch from White Station’s Terry Wright on an end-around and going 84 yards to the end zone.

Blue restored its twotouchdown lead when R idgeway’s Bra xton Conard and Marquette Murdock teamed up on a 6-yard score. Red cut it to 45-39 with 5:14 to go thanks to another Crawford-toPollard hookup, from nine yards out.

They got the ball back with a chance to tie or win, but Millington’s Patrick Macon sealed it with an interception.

“It was fun game,” said Red coach Robby Donaldson. “It would have been more fun if we had won but it was a real good week.

Some of the talent here is just jaw-dropping.”

Outdoors COMMENTARY

FRIGID FISHING

By Larry Rea Special to The Commercial Appeal

To help his grandson, Michael, celebrate his 14th birthday, Billy Wann recently took the eighth-grader at Houston Middle School trout ishing.

Wann, an avid angler who favors ly-ishing, didn’t take Michael to the Mid-South’s two celebrated trout ishing destinations, Arkansas’ White and Little Red rivers.

He took him to Cameron Brown Park in Germantown.

On a cold, windy day Wann and Michael were casting for rainbow trout in the park’s three-acre lake located of Farmington Road, taking advantage of the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency’s Winter Trout Program.

“There’s no bad time to go ishing with your grandson,” said Wann, 71, of Germantown. “I come every year as soon as I can after they (TWRA) stock the lake with trout.”

The TWRA will release about 90,000 rainbow trout into a cross-section of Tennessee waters from December through March. Cameron Brown was among a handful of Mid-South lakes and ponds stocked earlier this week by Hunter Henley and his staf from the TWRA’s Humboldt Fish Hatchery.

“It is one of the fun parts of our job,” said Henley, a 19-year TWRA employee. “We like to make people happy, and I know we make a lot of people happy when we drop of these ish. It’s not unusual for them to be waiting on us.”

Wann is a veteran of what he calls Opening Day for Tennessee’s winter trout season.

He wanted his grandson to experience trout ishing. They were using light tackle baited

with pink Trout Magnets.

While they weren’t having much luck, Jim Selvey, 74, of Collierville, who was ishing nearby, had his limit of seven ish in less than 90 minutes.

He was using pink Power Bait.

“They aren’t very big, but they put up a good ight,” Selvey said. “I wouldn’t miss this for anything. I just like to be outside. I love to deer hunt, too. Just like deer hunting, you’ve got to come to the lake

prepared for cold weather.”

Since 1999, when one lake in the state was stocked with rainbow trout, the program has grown to 37 sites in 201415. In West Tennessee, the number of stocking locations has grown in recent years from three to 12, including one in Germantown (Cameron Brown), one in Collierville (Johnson Park Lake), Millington (Edmund Orgill), Munford (City Park), Lakeland (Davies

Plantation) and Bartlett (Yale Road Park).

Henley and his crew will stock most lakes twice, once in early December and again in January. The dates and locations are subject to change.

Updates can be found on the TWRA’s website at tnwildlife. org.

All of the trout came from the TWRA’s Flintville Hatchery in south central Tennessee. In early November, the

Flintville Hatchery transported just under 10,000 pounds of trout in what it calls its “trout caravan” to Humboldt.

“The program has been so successful because of the quality of trout that are stocked and the fact that it gives anglers an opportunity to ish at a time of the year when ishing in Tennessee is usually slow,” said Bobby Wilson, the TWRA’s division chief.

Plus, there’s additional licenses the program generates.

Rules and license requirements are posted on signs at all stocking locations.

“I’ve ished the White (river) and, of course, this is nothing like that,” Wann said. “But it’s still a chance to catch ish and it’s a chance to spend time outdoors. I think it is a super program.”

Big bucks: Nine bucks were killed during the recent quota hunt at Presidents Island and its Ensley Bottoms unit in southwest Shelby County.

Bucks had to have at least nine antler points. The archery-only hunt produced seven bucks on Presidents Island and two at Ensley Bottoms with a total of 78 hunters.

SIPPING SUGAR

Healthful theme in stocking stufers

Americans have an unhealthy thirst for sweet beverages

FITBIT FLEX WIRELESS ACTIVITY AND SLEEP WRISTBAND

By Mary Frances Tanner Special to The Weekly

Sodas. Sports drinks. Fruit drinks. Energy drinks. They are everywhere you turn, illing nearby drink machines, shelves at grocery stores and fountain machines at restaurants.

The temptation is real, and not just for you, but for Americans across the country.

“What makes sugary drinks so appealing is that they simply taste better,” said Dana Totty, a registered dietitian with Saint Francis Hospital in Bartlett. “There are also people who are opposed to using artiicial sweeteners, and prefer to use a natural product like sugar.”

But do you know what these sugar-sweetened beverages do to your body, besides providing a salivary treat and temporary sugar high?

The rise in consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages since 2000 has been increasingly detrimental to the heart health of Americans. According to research by the American Heart Association, this has likely caused more than 100,000 cases of diabetes, which in turn has led to increased costs of health care and more diagnoses of heart disease.

The rise has been shown to be extremely prevalent in the South. According to a 2012 survey conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, approximately 40 percent of those surveyed in Mississippi and Tennessee drank one or more sugared drinks per day, the highest

two states of the 18 that were surveyed.

The AHA recommends no more than 150 calories (nine teaspoons) per day from added sugars for men and no more than 100 (six teaspoons) per day for women.

Yet, research shows that the average American consumes more than double this recommended amount, a mere 22.2 teaspoons of sugar a day, which is about 355 calories.

When it comes to sugarsweetened beverages, they should be limited to about 450 calories or less per week. .

“One of the most common misconceptions about sugary drinks is that fruit drinks that have less than 10 percent real fruit juice are healthy,” Totty said. “Another myth is that sugared sports drinks are necessary for average physical activity for hydration, when water is the best choice.”

There haven’t been any deinitive studies to note that there can be an addiction to sugar-sweetened beverages, but there isn’t a doubt that they’re not healthy additions to one’s daily diet. For those having trouble kicking the sugary drink habit, Totty suggests adding a splash of 100 percent fruit juice, lemons, limes or cucumbers to a glass of water for lavor.

For more information on the efects of sugar-sweetened beverages or for tips on how to kick your habit of them, visit www.heart.org/ gettinghealthy.

Mary Frances Tanner is a communications intern for the American Heart Association.

A typical 12-ounce can of regular soda has 130 calories and 8 teaspoons of sugar. The American Heart Association recommends limiting added sugars to no more than 100 calories a day (6 teaspoons) for most women and no more than 150 calories a day (9 teaspoons) for most men.

CONTROL YOUR CRAVINGS

3 questions to ask yourself about your eating habits

By Blair Mize Special to The Weekly

Does this scenario sound familiar? You haven’t slowed down since you woke up this morning … not even for a deep breath. At last, the kids are tucked in bed, and you are inally getting a few moments to relax in peace.

You head to the kitchen for your nightly snack and slice a piece of cake. You ate dinner not long ago and know you’re not physically hungry, but you always snack on something sweet before bed. Sometimes it’s a slice of cake, but other times it’s simply a piece of chocolate.

You’re not really sure how you got into this habit, but it is a diicult one to break. Those evening snacks taste delicious and make you feel so good in the moment, but you end up feeling guilty afterward. Each morning, you wake up with renewed determination to skip your nightly snack.

Perhaps it is more extreme, to a point that

eating behaviors are interfering with your daily life. They may be causing problems in your work, family, or social life. You may be regularly eating in the absence of hunger or spending lots of time thinking about food. You might even hide your eat-

ing from other people.

So what’s the problem with this scenario? Diet programs would tell you to simply eliminate sweets from your diet or set rules for yourself, but they miss the real issue which is: The problem is not the food itself. Rather than

avoiding specific foods altogether, food should be used to honor physical hunger; however, we often experience emotional and spiritual “hungers” as well.

In this scenario, you may be unknowingly attempting to satisfy one of these other types of “hunger” with eating.

Knowing this information, it’s no wonder we do not feel satisied by food when eating for reasons other than physical hunger. The bottom line … the real problem may lie in the process (or the cycle of thoughts and actions) leading up to the non-hunger based eating behavior. We all occasionally eat for reasons other than physical hunger, but when this activity begins to occur repeatedly, it’s important to investigate why the process seems so important and what “hunger” we may be trying to satisfy.

So how do you begin to break the cycle? Try writing down (no calorie counting apps) what and how you are eating. The

most important components are your answers to the following questions: ■ “Why am I eating?”

■ “What am I doing?”

■ “Am I still hungry, just right, or too full?”

Journaling can raise awareness about your relationship with food and begin to help you understand how you may be using food to satisfy more than your physical hunger. As you begin to acknowledge the complexity of selfcare, you may recognize a need for professional help.

Overcoming the habit of or addiction to eating for reasons other than physical hunger is complex and often requires a multidisciplinary team that includes you, a registered dietitian, and a therapist. It is possible to “have your cake and eat it too” in a balanced and healthy way.

RECIPE TO PLEASE THE COOK Impress foodies on your list with tasty and tasteful locally-sourced gifts

By Jennifer Biggs biggs@commercialappeal.com 901-529-5223

Y

our favorite cook doesn’t want another Kiss the Cook apron, cocktail shaker or kitchen rooster, so consider a gift that shows you care about your food-loving friend and your local farmers, shops and artists.

You can shop Saturday at the Memphis Farmers Market Holiday Market (9 a.m.-1 p.m.) and the Memphis Indie Holiday Market at Muddy’s Grind House, 585 S. Cooper, 11 a.m.-5 p.m.

“We’ll have about 55 vendors here,” said market director Allison Cook.

“We’ll have our winter market regulars plus some others here.”

You could pick up just about anything from popcorn to pottery, and if you miss the market, you’re sure to ind something among the items listed here.

COOKBOOKS This year, Perre Coleman Magness released her irst book, “Pimento Cheese: The Cookbook” (St. Martin’s Griin, and given a shoutout in The New York Times last week), Jennifer Chandler released her fourth, “The Southern Pantry Cookbook” (Thomas Nelson), and Wild Abundance Publishing wowed us with the cofee-table cookbook chronicling ArtsMemphis 2013 Culinary Series with “Memphis: Sweet, Spicy and a Little Greasy.” All are widely available, and there are other cookbooks by local authors that are still great for gift-giving even if they are a year or two old. Any vegetarian would be tickled with last year’s “The Southern Vegetarian” (Thomas Nelson) by husband-wife team Justin Fox Burks and Amy Lawrence.

HOT STUFF ■ Nikki’s Hot A** line of products would make a great gift basket for the asbestos-tongued on your list. Her seasoning, chips and the newest product, the Bloody Mary mix, would make a nice collection, or a lone item would make a small hostess gift to remember. Nikki’s products are widely available around town and run around $5 for chips and seasoning to $11 or $12 for the Bloody Mary mix; visit nikkishotassseasoning.com.

■ Papi Joe’s in Collierville makes Papi Joe’s Pepper Sauce and Papi Joe’s Sassy Bloody Mary mix, both available on his website for $9 and $14, respectively, or in several local stores, such as Trolley Stop Market and Miss Cordelia’s; see the website for a full list.

■ Crazy Good Specialty Foods is locally owned

by Jim O’Brien. He has a dozen or more products, including several hot sauces, dry seasoning and Crazy Mary!, his Bloody Mary mix.

Many are award winners, and all are available at crazygoodsauce.com.

Three-pack gift sets Crazy Mary! is one of several lostart at about $12, the cally made Bloody Mary mixes.

Bloody Mary mix is about $10, and you can buy four gallons for $99. Don’t question why, but do look for the more reasonably sized products in local shops such as Trolley Stop.

SWEET AND SALTY ■ You might say they’re too pretty to eat, but taste one and you’ll ind out they’re too good not to eat.

During the Memphis Farmers Market Holiday Market on Saturday, Carrington Catering will be selling cases of holiday sugar cookies.

Phillip Ashley Chocolates are tiny works of art that make nice gifts starting at about $30 and go considerably north of that. But they’re delicious. And beautiful. Visit the shop at 798 S. Cooper or the website at phillipashleychocolates.com.

■ Dinstuhl’s is the city’s best-known local candy store, and its immensely popular chocolates and brittles (cashew crunch is beloved by many) are available online at dinstuhls.com, in local Dinstuhl’s stores (there are three locations) and in some grocery stores. You can also ship cashew crunch with barbecue packages from the Rendezvous (hogsly.com).

■ Wolf River Popcorn says move over, Chicago Mix — the Memphis Mix is moving in. The windy city’s cheese and caramel popcorn mix might be better known, but what’s not to like about caramel corn mixed with barbecue corn? You can get them separately, too, or in a three-pack with cheese corn to make your own Memphago mix. Visit wolfriverpopcorn.com, or buy the popcorn at the MFM Holiday Market or other retail locations such as John’s Pantry and Miss Cordelia’s.

■ There are too many good local bakeries to even begin to list them — and remember just a few years ago, when everyone wondered why we didn’t have a good bakery left? — so take advantage of your favorite for cookies, cupcakes, pies, cakes and so on. You can pick up a Judy Pound Cake at specialty markets here and there (check out the Facebook page facebook.com/poundcakesllc), at SuperLo on Spottswood or High Point Grocery.

■ Aunt Lizzie’s cheese straws are all over the place, and made right here in town; you can ind them in just about any grocery. Want something a little diferent? Try Cheese Crispies from Billie’s Pecans, made by Memphis’ Billie Crenshaw just down the road in Crenshaw, Mississippi. Order online at billiespecans.com; you’ll also ind pecan selections and brittles there.

BREWS AND BOOZE ■ Memphis beer is almost old hat, but we’re loving it. True Memphis-distilled vodka is another thing, though, and now we have it: Pyramid Vodka is made from local corn (grown in Arkansas) and local water.

Mix it with one of the Bloody Mary mixes, and you’ve got a homegrown eye-opener. About $20 for a ifth.

■ You can buy locally brewed Ghost River beer by the six-pack, the case or the growler. Memphis Made, High Cotton and Wiseacre beers are also available by the growler at The Growler Memphis, 921 S. Cooper; Madison Growler in the Cash Saver grocery store at 1620 Madison; Joe’s Wines & Liquors, 1681 Poplar; and at their own breweries.

IN THE CAN ■ Put it in a jar and people will eat it. They’ll love it, and with good reason if you want to give them a jar of Flo’s Homemade Goodness, made by Felicia Willett and available at Felicia Suzanne’s, 80 Monroe, the MFM Flo’s Homemade Goodness is Holiday Market, oth- a line of pickles, chow chow, er local stores as list- tomato jam and so on made by ed here and online at Felicia Willett. feliciasuzanne.com.

■ They’ll also love a jar of homemade preserves from Alcenia’s, 317 N. Main. Owner B.J. ChesterTamayo was one of the stars of the show at a recent food journalists convention with her sweet potato cobbler; she’ll probably make one upon request if you’re looking for an alternative to sweet potato pie.

■ Rojo Gold salsa is available in many local groceries and small markets around town, and, of course, it’s local, made right here. Look for it in Easy Way stores or ind other retail outlets on the website, rojogold.com (and pair it with a bag of Las Delicias chips).

Busch Gardens holiday light display in Williamsburg, Va. is one of the season’s largest with 8 million lights.

NOT HOME HOLIDAYS for the

Holiday destination events from light shows to train shows

By Beth J. Harpaz Associated Press

N

EW YORK — The dark days of December are being lit up with holiday sparkle all over the map, from creative Christmas trees to giant menorahs. Gingerbread houses, light displays and train shows are part of the fun, too.

Here are a few of the biggest and best-known events around the country.

TREES Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree — so many to see, from the famous evergreen at Rockefeller Center in New York City to one made entirely from chocolate — 600 pounds of it, standing 6 feet high — at the Rosewood Sand Hill hotel in Menlo Park, Calif. The edible tree, on display in the lobby, was created by pastry chef Mellisa Root. The Ritz-Carlton in Charlotte, N.C., is displaying a holiday tree made from 789 recycled green bottles and another made from 8,000 macaroon cookies.

LIGHTS Two of the biggest lighting displays are on opposite sides of the country.

The Mission Inn in Riverside, Calif., is known for its display of 4 million lights, including more than 400 animatronic characters, through Jan. 6, while the lighting display in Busch Gardens Williamsburg Park in Virginia includes 8 million lights.

In Hawaii, Kauai’s Festival of Lights consists of dozens of decorated trees and displays, with hundreds of ornaments handmade by local artisans mostly using recycled materials like water bottles and aluminum cans. The festival takes place at the Historic County Building in Lihue, Kauai, through Dec. 27.

The Oglebay Resort & Conference Center in Wheeling, W.Va., hosts its Winter Festival of Lights through Jan. 4 along a 6-mile drive. The center has been gradually converting all lights used to energy-eicient LED lights and completed the switch this year.

In Asheville, N.C., the Biltmore estate has been hosting Christmas celebrations since 1895. The estate says the spectacle consists of “dozens of trees, thousands of ornaments and miles of brightly lit evergreen garland.”

THEME PARKS Universal Studios in Los Angeles and Orlando, Fla., hosts Grinchmas, themed on Dr. Seuss’ “How the Grinch Stole Christmas.” LEGOLAND in Carlsbad, Calif., hosts snow-covered tube runs where kids can play, slide and throw snowballs at targets.

At Disney, the annual Christmas Day Parade, which airs Dec. 25 on

The Rockefeller Center Christmas tree is lit in New York. The 13-ton spruce’s former home was outside a century-old farmhouse in Danville, Pa.

A 6-foot-tall chocolate Christmas tree is displayed in the lobby of Rosewood Sand Hill hotel in Menlo Park, Calif.

ABC-TV, has been renamed and re-themed the Disney Parks Frozen Christmas Celebration, starring “Frozen” sisters Anna and Elsa. The sisters along with “Frozen” characters Kristof and Olaf are also joining Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade during Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party on select nights this month at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida.

HOLIDAZZLE Minneapolis has ended its annual Holidazzle parade but is inaugurating a new tradition this year: Holidazzle Village, featuring a Minneapolis Holiday Market with gifts, food and beverages, open daily at Nicollet Mall until Christmas Eve, 11 a.m.-9 p.m. and until 6 p.m. on Dec. 24. A pass for unlimited visits costs $3 to $6.

On weekends, it’s free to visit Holidazzle Village, 3 p.m.-8 p.m., featuring live reindeer, story time, bands and choirs.

GINGERBREAD Never mind gingerbread houses: There’s a whole gingerbread village

This starfish ornament made from a metal can, is from a tree that is part of the Festival of Lights in Hawaii.

on display at the New York Hall of Science in the Queens borough of New York City complete with houses, trees, a skating rink, a hotel and even a subway station. The 2.5-ton, 480-square-foot village is on display until Jan. 11.

At Mohegan Sun, the casino resort in Uncasville, Conn., a life-size gingerbread house stands 28 feet tall and weighs 25,000 pounds. The Omni Grove Park Inn in Asheville, N.C., hosts entries in the National Gingerbread House Competition through Jan. 1 (open to the public SundayThursday, resort guests only FridaySaturday).

After some agonizing near misses, St. Benedict’s Conner Nichols bowled his first perfect game.

PREP SPORTS

SBA freshman Conner Nichols bowls his first perfect game

By Bill Kabel Special to The Weekly

The sport of bowling has been traced back to ancient Greece and the Roman Empire in very primitive forms. Bowling, is one of the world’s most popular sports, and several Memphis-area high school students participate on TSSAA sanctioned bowling teams.

One of the most successful local schools is St. Bene-

dict, coached by Eric Wells.

SBA has been crowned state champion several times in the past ive years.

Earlier this season, freshman Nick Agnew bowled 12 consecutive strikes before leaving a 7-pin on his 13th ball. By the time Nick had begun his 10th frame, a fairly large group had packed the area. Nick inished with a 299 score.

On Nov. 25, sophomore Conner Nichols was in the same circumstance. In his

tenth frame, Nichols threw two strikes. As he readied his attempt for a 13th consecutive strike, another large group gathered.

Nichols had come close to perfection three times before, but failed to bowl a perfect game. On his 13th roll, Nichols threw a strike and the place went wild.

The onlookers, his teammates and even some of the opposing teams’ players swarmed him with hugs and head rubs.

bling through four diferent majors in two years at college, I inally realized that God was calling me to do full time what I had been doing as a volunteer at a local church. From that moment as a sophomore in college, I knew God had called me to congregational ministry.

Favorite Bible verse:

Psalm 63:3 â&#x20AC;&#x153;...your steadfast love is better than life ...â&#x20AC;?

Favorite mission trip: A trip in January to the Philippines after a massive tropical storm. We visited an isolated island called Molocaboc and were able to hand deliver relief to those who lived there.

Favorite hymn: â&#x20AC;&#x153;10,000 Reasonsâ&#x20AC;?

Chris Altrock is the preaching minister at Highland Church of Christ in Cordova.

Outside of church, what are your hobbies: Training

Last book you read:

for and running the St. Jude half-marathon, photography, doing life with my family.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Vanishing Grace,â&#x20AC;? by Philip Yancey Favorite movie: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Green Mileâ&#x20AC;?

I want to move your stuff!

What do you like most about ministry work: The

opportunity to go to scripture on behalf of others and share what God is saying to us about ourselves, our community and our world.
